How to store all iPhone pictures/videos on iCloud?

I have a 30G iPhone 5S.  I subscribe and pay for 200G in iCloud storage.  I am trying to have all my photos and videos be saved from my phone onto iCloud which I can then also access on our MacBook.  Under "General -- Usage -- Manage Storage" I have selected "Camera Roll" to back up to iCloud.  Also, under "Settings -- iCloud " I have"Photos" sleected.  I keep getting warnings that I do not have sufficient storage to take pictures and videos.
Questions:
1.  How do I back up and store my entire "Photo Library" (i.e. pictures and videos) to my iCloud account?
2.  How do I sync all the pictures and videos on my iPhone to my MacBook?  Not just the "Photo Stream" pictures?
I thought by purchasing the iCloud space, I would have the 200G to take as many videos/pictures as I wanted since they would be stored there and not on my actual phone with the limited hardware storage.  Please advise....this is SO frustrating!
Information:
Product - iPhone 5S
OS - 7.1.1 (11D201)
Model - ME309LL/A
Capacity - 27.4GB

An iPhone backup to iCloud stores the photos on iCloud but the backup of the photos (and the other data on the phone) are only useable for a complete restore (e.g, in the event of a problem with the phone or when moving data to a new phone).
Apple does not have a method of storing all iPhone photos on iCloud using iOS 7 in a way that you could then access them and sync to a Mac other than Photo Stream.
iCloud Photo Library (beta) can be used to store your photos on iCloud in a way that they can be retrieved but you would need to upgrade your phone to iOS 8.
You turn iCloud Photo Library (beta) on via Settings > iCloud > Photos > iCloud Photo Library (Beta). There is more information at iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
Note the following quote from that link:
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.
To turn on Optimize [device] Storage on your device, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera, then select Optimize [device] Storage. You need an Internet connection to access an original photo or video that’s stored only in iCloud.
Also note that the new Photos app for the Mac that integrates with iCloud Photo Library has not yet been released but is expected with the next release of Yosemite (i.e., OS X 10.10.3); In the meantime you could access them via a browser at iCloud.com.
With iOS 7 there are other 3rd party solutions (not involving iCloud) that may do what you want. Examples you may want to investigate include Flickr and Dropbox.

    Pictures/Videos in your camera roll? If so, & not backed up or imported to your computer, they are gone. There's no supported way to recover them now.

  • Icloud doesn't automatically download all my pictures/videos

    I have set up my iphone, ipad, macbook on iCloud but realized that only a few selected pictures were downloaded onto photo stream. I have lost all my pictures/videos on camera roll and I am trying to see if iCloud had sync'd to my ipad and macbook but I can't find most of the photos and videos in my other 2 devices.

    Your biggest issue will be keeping the battery from taking a hike. Store it in a cool...not cold place, with about 40% charge...not charged full. Every three months, check the battery to make sure it still has a charge & charge back to 40% of capacity.

  • How do i import iPhone 4s video to iphoto

    I cant get the videos on my iPhone 4S to sync wirelessly into iphoto. Is this not possible or am i just overlooking some little checkbox somewhere?

    I'm having the same problem. With photostream enabled in iPhoto '11 (9.2.1) and preferences set to copy/import into an event yet it doesn't move over movies shot on my new 4S. I figured its because the file might be a little on the large size because of the new camera. But with the phone plugged in via usb to the mac and iPhoto open it doesn't show up like it used to do. Same in iMovie: it doesn't see the iPhone as a 'camera attached' from which to import videos. The only options given to export from the phone are 'Message' and 'email' which probably means compression. So how do we save our 1080 videos shot on the 4S to our macs ?
    turning photostream off does not do anything to make the iPhone appear either.
    Setting preferences for the iPhone in iTunes to 'include movies' in the photos tab doesn't do anything.
    Can't find the iPhone in Finder either.

  • How do I store all iPhoto libraries on the iCloud?

    I believe I can save my photos to the iCloud in case of disaster.  How do I store ALL of my iPhoto libraries/events/photos on the iCloud?  It doesn't appear there are there when I look at iCloud.com.
    Thank you.

    iCloud Photo Library (Beta) is not yet available on the Mac, only for mobile devices with iOS 8.  It will be supported on the Mac, when the Photos.app for mac will be released, probably sometime in spring this year.
    See this link for what iCloud Photo Library will be able to to.  iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ
    But since you are making about a cloud backup - iCloud for the Mac is not meant as an off-site backup. It is meant as a central storage for the documents and data you are using and updating them on all your devices, when they change in iCloud. You will need to keep a local backup of your iCloud documents and data.
