How to see my photos on icloud on a laptop

i have backed up all my photos and such to my icloud and am wondering how i am able to see my photos on icloud and save them to my laptop?

If you mean your iCloud backup, you can see or access anything in the backup.  You can only restore it to your phone.
If you mean photo stream photos, you can either set up iCloud on your laptop and enable photo stream, as explained here: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/, or import them to your computer using your usb cable, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  When you enable photo stream on your computer, you will only be able to access photo stream photos from the last 30 days, as well as any new photos added to your photo stream.
The only way to see them on the web is to add them to a shared stream with the public website option enabled (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99).

  • How to see my photos on iCloud Photo Library

    I'm online in iCloud.com on my iPad Air 2 running iOS 8.1.3, with iCloud photos optimized.  How can I see my photos

    The following quote is from iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
    Where do I view photos and videos in iCloud Photo Library?
    On your iOS device with iOS 8.1 or later, open the Photos app and tap the Photos tab. Photos and videos are organized by date, and listed by Moments, Collections, and Years. In iOS 8.1, you can also view your photos and videos by the date they were added from the All Photos album. Your entire library is also available on the beta Photos app on iCloud.com.

  • How to add old photos to iCloud Photo library

    I want to put all my photos to one place, how to upload old Photos to iCloud Photo library, not making separate folder in iCloud what is not visible on iPhone Photo app.

    As I understand it, you need to wait until the iCloud Photo app is launched next year.  I got round it a little by sharing some of my albums, but not to anybody in particular.  I can see these shared folders on my iPhone 5s, but they still don't show in iCloud.com>Photos.

  • How do i download photos from icloud to my PC

    I copied my photos taken on my iphone to icloud, but not sure how I see those photos on my PC, and then have icloud sync photos on my iphone and PC.

    Hi Intellikat,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  To download your iCloud Photo Stream photos to your PC, you'll first need to set up iCloud's Photo Stream feature on your PC.  This article has instructions:

    How many photos are stored in My Photo Stream on my devices and computers?
    iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.
    Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of your last 1000 photos in the My Photo Stream album. From there, you can browse your recent photos or move the ones you like to your Camera Roll or another album to keep them on your device forever.
    Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to have all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically downloaded. In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will be imported into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture. On your PC with My Photo Stream enabled in the Control Panel, all of your photos will be imported into C:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream. For iCloud Control Panel 2.0 to 2.1.2 users, the path isC:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream .
    Cheers,

    I would like to see my photos on iCloud. Which way can I reach?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can see your photos on any device using your ID and photo stream.
    If you want to see them in a web browser you need to create a shared photo stream album and make it public.

    How do i transfer photos from icloud to ipad

    For older photos you could just create a new "Shared Photo Stream" via iCloud on your iPhone and share it with yourself or you could use another cloud storage service (like Dropbox or Flickr etc.) or you could transfer them via iTunes on a PC/Mac.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Photo stream is not one of the features available at iCloud.com. Photo stream is for sharing your photos between your various devices.

  • HT1766 how can I view my photos in icloud from my laptop

    You cannot view then in iCloud.
    Photos in iloud are only there for 30 days then they are deleted.
    You need to regularly sync photos from iPhone/iCloud to your computer.
    Sync them from iCloud to your laptop wiht iPhoto for Mac or -> iCloud Control Panel for Windows.

  • How do i delete photos off icloud. i cant seem to find out how! help!

    how do i delete photos off icloud?

    iCloud is only used to sync photos between devices. It's not a "home" for them where you can view them on the web.

  • How do I delete photos from icloud photo stream on my iphone and ipad

    question
    how to delete individual photos from icloud stream

    As far as I know, you don't. iCloud photo stream automatically stores all of your photos for 30 days, then self-deletes them. It's meant to give you plenty of time to download the photos to a computer before they get deleted.

  • HT4890 how do i view photos from icloud on my PC, there is no icon for that purpose

    how do i view photos from icloud on my PC, there is no icon for that purpose

    If you have Outlook 2007 or higher on your PC, you can print your iCloud calendar from within Outlook.  If you don't, and are accessing it on icloud.com, about all you can do is take a screenshot using your print screen key and print the image.

  • My storage is almost full on iphone. How do I delete photos from icloud?

    My storage is almost full on iphone. How do I delete photos from icloud?

    You can just tap Delete Back Up, you don't need to turn off iCloud.
    Deleting the backup only permanently deletes the backup from iCloud.  It doesn't do anything the the data currently on your phone.  You will want to create a new backup as soon as possible after doing this, however, as you won't have one until your do.  You can either intiate this manually to create one immediately by connecting your phone to your charger and to wifi, then going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and tapping Back Up Now at the bottom (this will take some time to complete the first time), or you can just connect it to your charger and wifi before you go to bed and it should back up automatically (and continue to do so once daily).
    You don't need to manually connect your phone to your computer to back up to wifi, but it's a good idea to create a second backup using iTunes occasionally in case your iCloud backup ever fails (I do this weekly).  To do this, connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now.  (Your phone will continue to automatically back up to iCloud daily; this is just a second, manual backup, on your computer.)

  • Cannot work out how to access my photos on icloud or on my pc?

    cannot work out how to access my photos on icloud or on my pc?

    You cannot view Photos stored on your iCloud by visiting iCloud.com but to view iCloud Photos on your Computer you will need iCloud Control Panel for Windows to be downloaded and installed on your computer and Enable Photostream on your  iOS Device. For more details on how to Enable PhotoStream and use iCloud Control Panel go through the link below.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2605
    By default, photos are automatically downloaded to the My Photo Stream folder inside the Photo Stream album in your Pictures library, and uploaded from the Uploads folder inside the Photo Stream album in your Pictures library.

  • How do you sync photos from icloud to iphone

    I went to the apple store and had to restore my phone since i was having issues with it and now i've lost all my photos.  I was told not to restore from icloud since this will cause the issues i was having to come back.  How do i sync photos from iCloud without doing a restore onto my iPhone??  I have an iPhone 5 iOS 6.1.4

    The restore from backup process is all or nothing, there is no way to selectively restore data. These photos, the one's you're missing, where they only in your camera roll?
