How do i retrieve my photos after downloading iCloud to my new phone?

I recently bought a new iPhone 5 and backed up it up to my iCloud. All my apps are there and texts, but my photos seem to be missing. My photo stream is fine, but my camera roll isn't. it has all of these white boxes where my pictures SHOULD be and when i click on them, they just "loading." I have very important pictures on there and help would be very appreciated!!!

It might still be restoring your backup.   You can tell be going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and checking the bottom of the screen.

  • How do I get my photos down from iCloud on my new 4s? Does it take a few days or something?

    I replaced my broken iPhone 4S with a new one. How do I get my photos down from iCloud? Only a few of them have come down. The stream is on and I am connected to wifi so I don't know what the problem is?

    Michael and wjosten!
    Just thought I'd let you know what happened in the end with my iCloud issues, solved at tekserve:
    When I took my phone to the Verizon store to pick up my new phone, she must have chosen the option "Set up as a new phone" rather than "restore phone from iCloud backup" or whatever. and then I went ahead and set up my phone, not knowing that was ever an option since SHE did it. So i ended up restoring my new phone to factory settings, choosing the OTHER option of restoring it from the iCloud backup i had done, and now I have everything back as it was, in perfect harmony:)
    Thanks for both of your help.
    Additional question: I usually charge my phone up, and let it run down to about 2%-5% before i recharge it all the way up again. But if i have to run, I may take it out of the charger when its not fully 100%. When I am able to stick it back and charge again, is it better to just NOT and let it run down again? or get it back up to 100% if i have the time?

  • How can i retrieva all my backed up content onto my new phone plz

    how can i retreive all my backed up data onto my new phone plz

    Restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial setup process.  If you have any data on your phone now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  You will then go through the setup screens as you did when the phone was new. When given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below).  Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

  • How to I get my contacts from the iCloud  to my new phone

    I am having problems with my new iphone5 the lady in the shop saved all my contacts on the iCloud and said I could get them once I have started up my new phone.does anyone know how I can get my contacts from the iCloud to new iPhone. Thanks

    It depends on how she saved them on iCloud.  Check your contacts on icloud.com from your computer.  If they are there, all you need to do is go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your iCloud ID, then turn Contacts to On. 
    If your contacts aren't on icloud.com, she may have simply backed up your phone to iCloud.  If that's the case, you would have to restore the backup to your new phone by going to Settings>General>Reset, tapping Erase All Content and Settings (which will erase the phone), then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup.

  • How do I retrieve my photos after updating my iPad to iOS 8.1?

    Hi
    I updated my iphone to 8.1 this morning and enabled the icloud photos option. All seemed to work fine. After updating my iPad though, I couldn't find all the photos that were previously on it (and not on my phone). Even after enabling the icloud option it shows only the photos on my phone. Tried icloud but still no luck. Are my photos really lost?
    Thanks!

  • How do I retrieve my photos from the iCloud

    I replaced my iPhone 4s at the apple store today. They did a restore from the iCloud. I stayed at the store until the phone stated it was restored and my apps were downloading. Later when I looked at my photos it had stopped at about half the photo download. Is there any way i can get the rest of them to download?

    You need to restore your device and restore from an "iCloud" back up to get the photos in your camera roll onto your device.  This will bring virtually almost everything else over to your new device.

  • How do I get my photos from old icloud account to new icloud account?

    I had changed my email for my icloud account, but I was unable to change it on my phone. So I had to reset everything because it kept autopopulating my old icloud email. I had quite a bit of photos and I am unable to locate them. Is there a way I can retain my photos from my old icloud account to my new icloud account?

    Use shared Photo Stream:

  • HT4859 How do I retrieve my photos from the cloud after a reset. My photos are gone from my phone, and I backed them up on iCloud?

    How do I retrieve my photos from the cloud after a reset. My photos are gone from my phone, and I backed them up on iCloud? when I restored it, no camera roll pictures?

    Try restoring the backup again.  Sometimes it's successful the second time.  You could also try restoring an older backup.  iCloud will have your last 3 backups is you have sufficient storage space in your account.

  • I have the iCloud Photo Library (Beta) turned on. The photos from my iPhone do get uploaded to the iCloud. The photos are then downloaded to my wife's iPhone (we share the iCloud account). How do I keep the photos from downloading to my wife's iPhone

    I do not want all the photos from my iPhone downloading to my wife's iPhone from iCloud? We share an iCloud account. How can I prevent the download to my wife's iPhone from iCloud. .The "Upload to My Photo Stream" is turned off on my iPhone. . I am running 8.1.3. 
    I have a related question. In order to same space on my iPhone is there a way to upload the photos to the iCloud and then delete them from my iPhone.

    The way to keep the photos from downloading to your wife's phone would be for her to go to Settings > iCloud > Photos > and turn off iCloud Photo Library. If that isn't an option, the other option would be for her to have her own Apple ID ( and possibly explore the new family sharing options https://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/family-sharing/ )
    Regarding the "related question" see the quotes below from iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
    Deleting a photo or video from your Photos app will also remove the item from iCloud Photo Library and from your iCloud storage allocation. Photos and videos you remove can be recovered from the Recently Deleted album for 30 days. After 30 days, your content will be removed from the Recently Deleted album.
    If you want to reduce the space used by photos on your phone, rather than deleting them see the following:
    How does iCloud Photo Library save space on my device?
    If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your iOS device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. iCloud Photo Library stores the original, high-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and can keep lightweight, device-optimized versions on each of your devices. As long as you have enough storage, recent photos and videos that you access the most will stay on your device at full resolution.
    You can turn on Optimize [device] Storage from Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera > iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You need an Internet connection to access an original photo or video that’s stored only in iCloud.

    Install the excellent 'Search Everything' utility and enter 'extreme' as a search term. Note that when you first run 'Everything' it takes time to index your drive(s). After that though it is a nearly instantaneous start.
