How to retrieve photos from the iCloud

How to retrieve photos from the iCloud

icloud only stores photos in backups (or in a special case, when using photo stream).  If you have turned on backup and made sure the camera roll is turned on (only photos from camera roll are backed up), then you can get photos back by performing a restore.  But note that users should always sync photos to a computer to archive them, relying on icloud is not foolproof.

Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

  • I lost my iPhone 5 how can recover my photos from the iCloud

    I lost my iPhone 5 how can recover my photos from the iCloud?

    The only way photos are stored in icloud is in a backup from an ios device.  This assumes that icloud backup was turned on and that camera roll was turned on.  Note that photo stream is a slightly different service that is used to sync photos from one device to another, it's not really a storage service.
    To retrieve photos that are in a backup, you need to reset a device (wipe all data from it) and perform a restore.  Note that many users have had problems getting their photos back from a backup - for one reason or another.  Remember, the suggested way of storing photos is to sync them to a computer or service like Dropbox.

    Had you set your iPhone up to use Photo Stream?
    Had your performed an iCloud backup of your iPhone before it was damaged?
    If you did neither of the above, then your photos are not in the cloud, and they are gone.
    If you performed an iCloud backup, then it would contain the photos in the iPhone's Camera Roll (taken on the iPhone) at the time of your last backup.  You could restore this iCloud backup to a device.
    If your iPhone used Photo Stream, those photos are immediately accessible to your iPad if you set it up to use the same Photo Stream.

  • Recovering photos from the icloud

    Recovering photos from the icloud.  Any suggestions?

    If you backed up your phone to iCloud, the photos in the Camera Roll album (taken on the phone) are backed up, but not photos synced to your phone from your computer. 
    To restore the photos to the phone, you have to restore the entire backup - can't selectively restore the photos.
    1. Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
    2. Follow  prompts on your phone to re-activate and restore the backup from iCloud.

  • I am new sto Lightroom and have also just changed from Apple to PC.  I cannot figure out how to download photos from the Photoshop library to a file that will be sent to MPIX for processing.  Also, does Lightroom have an easy access to a photo processing

    I am new to Lightroom and have also just changed from Apple to PC.  I cannot figure out how to download photos from the Photoshop library to a file that will be sent to MPIX for processing.  Also, does Lightroom have an easy access to a photo processing capability such as MPIX?

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • 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 retrieve my photos from my iCloud that are no longer on my phone after I have restored it?

    If you are seeing a cloud icon, they are not actually on your device, just available to download. If you wish to turn this off: Settings app >  Videos > Show All Videos [turn OFF]. This is also available in for the Music and iBooks apps.

  • I have a LaCie external hard disk. I do not know how to retrieve photos from iphoto that have disappeared. I do not know how to use Time Machine

    I have a LaCie external hard drive. I also have Time Machine. I somehow have "lost" almost all my 5,000+ photos from iPhoto 8.1.2. I would appreciate someone giving me directions on how to retrieve the photos from the external hard drive or Time Machine.
    The last thing that I did that is different from my normal routine was to trash duplicate music tunes from iTunes. I cannot figure out how that would have caused my photos to disappear.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.
    Marilyn

    I remember being cautioned to never do anything with the iPhoto Library. Should I have clicked on the iPhoto Library and then Restore?
    I do not know "how" items are being placed in the LaCie external drive, just that it shows a backup running about every hour. I have taken a snapshot of the Time Machine Preferences I would you to see. Maybe that would answer this question.
    In March 2011 I had to have hard drive on my iMac replaced. I had been using a Seagate external drive for backups. However I was not using Time Machine. When the Apple guru was helping me restore all my files etc on the new hard drive he was not familiar with Seagate and recommended I purchase this LaCie and use Time Machine. I never had any problem retrieving items from the Seagate backup. It was very straightforward. As I mentioned previously, I just don't have a clue with the LaCie and Time Machine.
    I hope this is not TMI.

  • How to remove photos from the photo library

    How can I remove photos from the photo library?
    I searched and tried the below method.
    I connected to the PC and open iTunes. I clicked "photos" on the top. Then clicked the box "Sync Photos with" and choose the dropdown and "choose folder"
    Then I clicked "desktop" option and chose an empty file and click "apply", "sync".
    However, it doesn't work. Nothing has been removed.
    I saw there is another method - deselecting the checkbox of the photo files. However, in my iTunes, there is no files has been selected.
    How can I delete photos from the photo library? Thank you.

    How did the photos get onto your device (and is it an iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch ?) ? Only photos that were synced from a computer can be deleted via iTunes, photos that were taken with it or saved from emails/websites on the iPad (or if it's an iPad copied to it via the camera connection kit) can be deleted directly in the Photos app, or you might be able to delete the via the import process : Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC.
