How do I save photos stuck in the cloud to my computer?

About a month ago I accidentally threw my phone in the wash, killing it. When I bought my new phone the guy failed to mention that I could restore everything back to what it was and by the time I discovered I could, I'd already gotten myself knee deep into my new phone. I had a lot of senitmental pictures on there that I'd like to get back, out of the cloud and onto my Mac. I've just spent seriously 5 hours trying to update this **** thing and now I'm still lost trying to get that content saved to the computer so that I can delete it and stop getting the reminder that my cloud is full. Is it completely lost and do I have to just delete it to make more room?
Also, complete side note, but I HATE that my scroll is inversed where if I want to scroll down a page I have to push up on my touch pad. Can I undo that too??

The only way to recover your camera roll photos from an iCloud backup is to restore the backup to your phone. What you can do is back up your phone to your computer using iTunes, then restore the backup and save the recovered photos, then restore the backup you made on your computer to get back to where you are now. To do this, do the following:
Connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Tranfer Purchases. When this finishes click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now.
Eject your phone from iTunes and disconnect it from your computer. Go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup and follow the prompts, choosing the backup of your old phone to restore to. Be sure it is connected to wifi and your charger as it is restoring the backup.
When the backup finishes, import the recovered camera roll photos to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
Connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes and click Restore Backup, choosing the backup you made at step 1 to restore from. This should return your phone to it's current state.
If you want the photos you recovered on your phone, put them in an event in iPhoto, then select the event to sync to your phone on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync your phone.
You can't change the scrolling behavior of your phone. In time it will seem natural.

HT201077 How do I view photos saved to "the cloud" that are not in my latest thousand??

How do I view photos held "on the cloud" that have dropped off the phone, ie, are not in the latest 1000 stored.
I cannot seem to find this "cloud"!

hi guys thank you for the replies, sorry I have been away.
I am confused then - I have had to buy more icloud memory recently (2 of us use it with phones etc and so share pics, music) but I thought this was because its saving more photos?
So no idea why I have to buy storage if you now say photos arent saved?
If gone from the last 1000 they are lost? I dont have a Mac just iphone/ipad.
Sorry if Im getting it wrong!

How Do You Save FCPX Projects in the Cloud?

I routinely access a project on two computers, and want to be able to store that project in the cloud. I have access to Dropbox and File Transporter. Is there a specific way to do this that is most efficient?
Thanks.

You can't work from the cloud; it's not fast enough, but you can use it to pass projects back and forth. Both machines need to have all the media, and the media needs to be external, including the cache files. You cannot use managed media for this, not for a production of any real size.
The process basically is that you work on one machine and when you're done you upload the library to the cloud. When you go to the other machine, you download the library from the cloud and continue working. The process repeats back and forth. That's the basic plan. To make it more efficient you can just upload the changes you made by making a new library and copying the project or event into it to have a minimal, transfer library. You use transfer libraries to just move what you need up and down. This is more efficient as libraries, even with external media, can get quite large.

How do I save my music in the cloud like my phone? (I have iTunes Match), How do I save my music in the cloud like my phone? (I have iTunes Match)

My iPad 2 used almost 10 GB of memory yet I have iCloud, iTunes Match and it only uses 250 MB on my cell phone (with all the same music). How do I use iCloud like my iPhone 4S and save all music there?
Thx

If you are using iTunes Match on all your devices, then you are able to just delete songs from your devices in order to free up local space again and then re-download them whenever you want. I assume that you do not have the all the same music on your iPhone already downloaded, it is only shown to you with a little cloud icon which means that you are able to download them.

Can/How do you save excel files to the cloud?

How, if at all, can you save excel files to icloud?

I think you need to upgrade your MacOS. Mine is running MacOS X 10.8.4.
I am running Numbers '09 v2.3.
Need to sign on to iCloud under Mac Preference Settings.
When I start Numbers, I can view files stored on iCloud, or locally on the Mac harddisk.
Hope it helps.

How do I save a spreadsheet in the cloud, for access by iPhone?

The subject says it all.

Until Apple updates the desktop versions of the iWork apps you have to use iCloud.com in a web browser or iTunes to sync files. You could also try e-mail or DropBox. Apple's "official" way is here.

How do I save photos from email to the photo library?

How do I save photos from email to the photo library? I've seen an online demo of users that hold their finger or thumb over the image for a few seconds and a "save photo" window option appears. That doesn't work on my 6-month old iphone. It's version 1.1.4 (4a102) ???? Help! Anybody with an answer?

Never mind. I figured out the 2.0 update. My system wasn't updating I-tunes...and the I-phone update option window was hidden behind some other system information. I figured it out. The download, install and re-synch took about an hour. Lots of horror stories out there about people trying to activate their new I-phones. Glad this worked for me!

How best to save photos? I want to protect my photos (15,000 of them) by putting them on a portable drive and storing it in my safety deposit box. Is it better to export them all, drag the Photo file, use Time Machine – or are there better alternatives?

I am a 'newby' to the discussion world. Hope I am doing this right. How best to save photos?

Welcome to the discussions! You can use Time Machine and I would also recommend for you to manually copy your iPhoto Library (on your Pictures folder) to an external drive/thumb drive so you can restore it from there should you loose your TM backup. Exporting them from iPhoto would not preserve the libraries' integrity neither your originals, should you choose to edit them in iPhoto.

I have no clue that you mean by it only shows photos from the camera icon. It has to show the photos in the camera roll of the photos app since those are the only photos that you can import via the USB cable.
There are other ways of transferring photos to a computer, but they involve using third party apps. There are WiFi transfer apps that will do this. DropBox will also let you upload photos to a public folder and then download them to a computer.

I have yet to update my iPhone 4 to the latest iOS software. How do I save photos to my iCloud photo stream that were taken before I activated my iCloud account and photo stream ?

I have yet to update my iPhone 4 to the latest iOS software. How do I save photos to my iCloud photo stream that were taken before I activated my iCloud account and photo stream ?

You have a couple of options:
Open the photos one at a time and take a screenshot. This will add a new low resolution copy of the photo to the camera roll, which will then upload to your photo stream;
Email the photos a few at a time to yourself, then save the attached photos to your camera roll. This will add a copy of the photo at full resolution to your camera roll and upload to photo stream;
Use an app like PhotoSync, which will allow you to wirelessly transfer copies of all your old photos to your computer all at once. Then delete these photos from your camera roll and use PhotoSync to transfer them back from your computer to your camera roll. These will be the original resolution and will upload to your photo stream. (You need an app like this because iTunes will not transfer photos back to your camera roll, where they must be in order to add to your photo stream.)

How can I save multiple titles under the same DVD?

I use HandBrake to rip DVD's into iTunes. How can I save multiple titles under the same DVD? For instance, I have a Jimi Hendrix documentary that comes with special features, such as concert performances. I would like to have the main feature and the special features saved in my iTunes under the same title, perhaps as different 'tracks' (kind of like how different songs can be saved under the same album).
Is there a way for me to do this, or am I chasing phantoms?

*This response is for iPhoto 11 (v9). If you're using an earlier version, please post back and let us know. Troubleshooting steps are not the same for different versions. To find out which iPhoto you have: iPhoto Menu -> About iPhoto)*
Duplicate the photo first. (Photos -> Duplicate). This means that you will have multiple copies of the master as well as the edited version.
If you use versions like this often and wish to have only one master then you can do this with Aperture.

How do I save photos from email directly into correct album of iphoto?

how can I save photos to the correct album in iphoto directly from email? I've been emailed photos I can't figure out how to save. Thanks!

You can drag a photo from the email window onto the Album in the left hand pane of iPhoto and it will be added to that Album. The photo will be in its own Event but will also be in the Album you dragged it to.
