How do I make sure my pictures are being backed up on my photo stream?

I kept getting notifications every time I charged my phone telling me that I didn't have enough space in iCloud for my phone to be backed up. I deleted the camera roll from being backed up on iCloud because I was told the last 1,000 pictures would automatically be uploaded to my photo stream on iCloud. I was also told that my photo streams do not count against iCloud storage because my phone hadn't been backed up for 11 weeks. How do I make sure my picture are being backed up on my photo stream?

Photo stream doesn't back up photos, it streams them to your other devices.  Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, allowing sufficient time for them to download to your devices/computers.  It is true that photo stream photos don't count against your storage.
You also shouldn't rely on your backup to save your camera roll if you're going to delete the photos from your phone.  If you delete them, then back up again, the new backup will overwrite the backup containing the deleted photos and they will be lost.
If you want to save your photos, import them to your computer using your usb cable as explained here: iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer.

    Is there anyway of checking they are in itunes before I restore?
    I've never used the contacts part of sync process as I wasn't sure if it would store the contacts I have on my phone on my computer or vice versa (which would be crap as I don't really use outlook etc for contact storage)
    Any suggestions?

  • HT1355 If I am playing a song from my phone on speakers, how can I make sure that there are no interruptions like calls or notifications?

    If I am playing a song from my phone on speakers, how can I make sure that there are no interruptions like calls or notifications? My students are performing and it would be terrible if there was to be an interruption.

    You could turn on Do Not Disturb. This would block all notifications and incoming calls.
    Or just turn you're phone's Airplane Mode on if you're not streaming the music

  • With Adobe Muse when I make a change I have a second Admin user how do we make sure these changes are not overridden

    With Adobe Muse when I make a change I have a second Admin user how do we make sure these changes are not overridden

    If you're both using Muse then it's no different than if you were both using PS, AI, Word, etc. You need to use a mechanism to enable you to both have access to the latest version of the .muse file (i.e. Creative Cloud Files folder, Dropbox, file server location, etc.).
    Changes made in the browser will sync back to the .muse file. Changes made in Muse are saved in the .muse file and if you're going to work on the site in Muse on two different machines then you need to have the up-to-date .muse file on the other machine.

  • HT4859 How do I make sure my messages are backed up

    How do I make sure i actually backed up my messages on my iPhone 3G

    The iPhone backup includes text messages, whether you back up to iCloud using iTunes.  The only way to verify any of the specific data in the backup, however, is to restore the backup to your phone.  You can't view the data inside the backup.

  • I've made a new icon for a folder, using icon composer. But when I add it to the folder in the icon spot, it changes instead to the generic picture icon with "icns" on it. How do I make sure the picture actually changes to what I want?

    So I took a picture of a generic mac osx snow leopard folder (png), layered a picture of a movie reel onto it (png) using the application Gimp, then saved this complete picture as a png. I then took this picture and dragged it into Icon Composer & from there saved the new icon as an icns file. Next, I selected this new icns file, copied it, went into the "Get Info" part for the folder I want, clicked on the little icon in the top left corner, and selected Paste in the Edit menu. The icon did change, but it changed to the generic Preview icon with the letters "icns" across the bottom. Why isn't it changing to the actual picture I made? And how can I fix this or make sure I do get the result I want?
    FYI: I have done this EXACT SAME process with other icons I've created, and in the past it has worked fine and changed the icon to the picture that I made. But today it's done this twice, with two different pictures/icons and in different folders.

    Did you open the image in Preview? Then make sure you are actually selecting and copying the open image? You can check by going to Finder->Edit->Show Clipboard to see if the image is actually on the Clipboard. Now do GetInfo on the folder you want to have the image, select the wee little icon at the top (make sure it really is selected, the faint blue halo is hard to see) and then Paste. You MUST have permissions to write to the folder! Otherwise nothing will happen. Does the "Sharing and Permissions" section of the GetInfo window, down at the bottom, show your shortname as owner, with Read & Write permission?

  • HT201317 Pictures are not transfering to my PC Photo Stream..?

    My photo's are showing up on my iPod's Photo Stream, but are no longer trasfering to my Window's Photo Stream.. How do I get them to push to my PC??

    Have you tried signing out, then back in again on the icloud control panel on your pc? Also resetting the photostream may help. You need to log into icloud.com, click on your user name in the top right then go to advanced, the rest photostream. It won't delete any pics off your ipod or pc but it will delete any held on the apple servers.
    Another thing is uninstall then reinstall icloud.
    If these don't work then you probably need to start checking the permissions and settings on the pc.
    My photostream only works if I sign out of tghe icloud control panel and sign back in. Even them it will only transfer the photos currently waiting to download in the cloud. If I take any more photos after the first batch have gone over I have to repeat this process again.
    Also it may be worth checking that your uploads and shared photostreams are working. Mine are which makes the problem even stranger.

  • How do i transfer pictures from icloud to my pc, i have done the back up but want to make sure the pictures are there before turning off icloud on my devices.

    How do I transfer my pictures from icloud to my pc?

    Hello citcatprincess,
    Importing the photos from iCloud is relatively easy. I would first take a look at the first article that will walk you through with making copies of your Photos as well as other data from iCloud if you need it. The one piece that you will need is iCloud for Windows so that way photos will sync up for you.  
    Archive or make copies of your iCloud data

  • I have a 3g and want to make sure my pictures are saved, how do I do it.

    I have an iphone 3G and want to save my pictures that I have on it. I'm not sure how to do it, or if it does it when I sync my phone.

    Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.

  • How can I make sure the relays are off on a 1324 module when it powers up.

    We have an application using the SCXI 1324 module. When the module losses power the relays keep their state. The control program attempts to set all the relays off when it starts up, but the 1324 assumes the relays are off when it powers up and the CVI call to turn the relay off does nothing until I cycle the relay on and back off again.

    OK, the 1324 is a terminal block. The relays in question are in the SCXI-1160 module.

    Yes, that's for network backups only. 
    What can I do to make sure that the backups are OK?
    You can tell if the File System (the various directories, catalogs etc.) is ok by repairing your backup drive, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
    You can "spot check" whether the Time Machine "Star Wars" display seems correct.
    You can do a full system restore to another disk per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions, then start up from it and see if things are there and seem to work.
    You can keep "secondary" backups (always a good idea).  See #27 in the FAQ post for some suggestions.

  • Hi! I just bought a new iPhone and I was wondering how i can make sure all my pictures and music will be transfered from my old iPhone to my new one?

    Hi! I just bought a new iPhone and I was wondering how i can make sure all my pictures and music will be transfered from my old iPhone to my new one?

    Pictures are held in the iPhone backup. If you backup the old device just prior to the activation of the new one, then restore from that backup, the photos will be there. Music is in iTunes on the computer and when you do the restore, it will download the music from iTunes to the device during the restore. Make sure any music purchased on the iPhone that has not been transfered to iTunes on the computer is done before beginning the restore.

    When I am trying to package my artwork in Adobe Illustrator CC, it is not capturing my images and fonts. How do I make sure my linked photos and fonts are captured?

    Not all fonts can be packaged depending on their licensing. Some fonts are set to not allow packaging. For those you would have to manually locate them on your computer and add them to the folder where the packaging occurred.
    For the images have you checked the "copy links" option?
