HT201317 Can I save photos from folders on my laptop to iCloud?

Does anyone know if I can save photos from folders on my laptop to iCloud?

iCloud is used to copy photos between devices, not as a storage system.  If you are looking for a place to store photos, use the laptop, buy an external hard drive if space is becoming an issue.  If you want to sync photos to your devices, then use photo stream or connect via USB cable to itunes....

  • I can't save photos from text messages and cannot access keyboard

    does anyone know why i can't save pictures from text messages received and why i am unable to access my keyboard to type out messages?

    When you press and hold on the picture...it does not give you an option to save the image?  Also for the keyboard issue...go into settings/application manager(it may also say apps/manage apps).  At the top scroll over and select all.  Scroll down and find messaging and tap on it.  If you have an option to clear data and force stop then select them(it wont delete anything).  Once done go back in the list and see if you also have anything that says keyboard or android keyboard and do the clear data/force stop on that also.

  • I can't save photos from mail to desktop or iPhoto all of a sudden! 10.8.5

    I have an iMac, OS 10.8.5.  Up until a few months ago I was able to save photo email attachments to iPhoto or my dekstop with no issues but now I can not.  I try to drag photo attachments to either place, it it doesn't work. I try to right click for options, nothing.  I'm really not sure what the problem is but it is very frustrating!

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Can't save photos from Mail to Camera Roll

    How do I save a photo from Mail to my camera roll? Before iOS7 I would tap on the photo and get the option save it. Now all i get is a copy or select all option.

    Found the answer to my question. Now you have to press down on the photo until the save option appears.

  • If my iphone is stolen how can i retrieve photos from stolen device via photostream or icloud

    My iphone was stolen 1 month ago.  I have set up an ´erase content´ and icloud block via the find my iphone app.  Will I be able to retrieve photos from taken on my stolen iphone via photostream or an icloud restore/back up some how?
    Someone has contacted saying they bought my stolen iphone (in peru) and are asking that I unblock my phone.  I have since recieved a new iphone via insurance but would like to now if there is a way to access my photos taken on the stolen device.  Because I have a macbook that is also logged into my icloud account, will i somehow be able to access my old photos from my macbook?

    The erase should take place the next time the phone is on and connected to a data network (via wi-fi or cellular). There is no need for them to enter your password. More details: iCloud: Erase your device
    They don't have to enter your Apple ID password for that to happen. Do NOT give them your password, now or ever. They do not need to enter anything for the erase to take place. It just needs to connect to a data network (and that may not be possible if the phone is outside of your cellular carrier's area and if it cannot connect to wi-fi).
    Do NOT remove the device from your account. The quote below is from If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen
    What if your iOS device is off or offline?
    If your missing device is off or offline, you can still put it in Lost Mode, lock it, or remotely erase it. The next time your device is online, these actions will take effect. If you remove the device from your account while it's offline, any pending actions for the device will be cancelled.
    There isn't anything else you can do at this point to make the phone erase -- you have done what you can do. If the phone did not have a passcode, they have likely already had access to your data if the phone is in a foreign country since it wouldn't be online (connected to wi-fi or cellular) unless they intentionally did that.

  • Can I save photos from iPad that I edited to my main computer?

    If I edit pictures on iPad can I then get them back in the edited for to my main computer. Their seems to be lots of photo apps but don't want the final pics just for my ipad would also want them in my main computer.

    you need to verify that the app saves a copy back to the photos library. If it does (as a drawing app for my 4 y/o sone does), you can then open that pic back up after importing from ipad to your chosen photo program.

  • HT201317 can i download photos from 2 iphones to one photo stream

    hello

    If you use the same account, it will also merge all of your personal data. As an alternative to sharing an account, you can share photostream albums with each other by creating a shared album and inviting the other. You cannot both add photos to a shared album, so would need to share one each with the other and shared albums do not automatically get new photos taken on the device, you need to add them manually, but that can be a good thing.
    iCloud.com is not intended to show your photo stream photos.

  • How can I transfer photos from my iPhone to iPhoto without iCloud getting involved?

    Hi All:
    I would like to transfer photos to iphoto without iCloud synching.  Last time I synched my iphone to my laptop icloud changed my .mail account setting and moved/added folders within .mail.  It took me a very long time to figure out what happened.  I do not wish to fool around in Terminal either.

    Yes that is correct, thank you.  I knew how to do that, I was concerned iCloud would would then do some mojo to my lap top.  Apparently after syncing with iCloud once it's happy for a while.

  • How do I save photos from messenger

    How can I save photos from messenger

    I'm sorry, but are you referring to another app other than the native Messages App? I'm thinking that is what you are referring to, since I'm not aware of any setting like that in the native Messages app. If that is the case, it could be that you do not have Messages set to access the Camera Roll in Privacy. The app may not have access to the Camera Roll. Check that in Settings>Privacy and see if the Messages app is listed there. I'm guessing that you are referring to Facebook Messenger?

  • Can't save photos

    I can't save photos from google images anymore when I press the photo it doesn't give me the option to save anymore
    Please help

    If you are viewing google images via Safari, make sure you tap the image once to bring it up big (where it has a black border) then hold the image down with your finger.  If you hold the image down when it is not big, you will not get the option to save image.

  • How can I import photos from iPhoto-library to edit in Photoshop CC? - and save it back to the iPhoto-library?

    How can I import photos from iPhoto-library to edit in Photoshop CC? - and save it back to the iPhoto-library?

    How to access iPhoto images for use in Photoshop
    1. In the Finder, navigate to Users > [user name} > Pictures > iPhoto Library. 
    2. Control-click the iPhoto Library file and choose Show Package Contents.
    3. A Finder window opens that shows the contents. The Masters folder (or called Originals folder) contains all of the photographs that are in iPhoto. 
    Photoshop cannot access this folder, but if you make a duplicate of the folder, the dupe will be accessible -- so:
    4. Control-click the folder named Masters (or Originals) and choose Duplicate. 
    5, Drag the duplicate folder which is named "Masters copy" or “Originals copy” from the iPhoto Library Finder window to the Desktop.
    6. Open images in Photoshop from file on desktop.
    7  Rename the folder and move it elsewhere (probably to the Pictures folder), if desired.
