HT201317 Do my photo streamed photos automatically save on my computer?

Do my photos get saved automatically on my computer when streamed by my Iphone? Or do I manually have to save them?

Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.

  • Do the pictures from my photostream automatically save to the computer

    Do the pictures from my iphone that go through the photostream automatically save to the computer, or do i need to save them manually to make sure they dont get deleted?

  • Before when I scanned a photo, it would automatically save and ask to scan another photo. Now, the photo is not saving and it doesn't ask to scan again. Help?

    I only use Image Capture and it always sends my photos to wherever I tell it to.

  • HT204053 i have 2 apple ids and one is from years ago when icloud wasnt a thought but now somehow it became my primary apple id and i cant photo stream with the apple id i use. Even if im signed into my old one the photo stream doesnt automatically go to

    i have 2 apple ids and one is from years ago when icloud wasnt a thought but now somehow it became my primary apple id and i cant photo stream with the apple id i use. Even if im signed into my old one the photo stream doesnt automatically go to my mac. Im not exactly technology savy but id love to figure this out.

    I have also noticed the same "problem".  I do not fully understand the impact of using the same ID on multiple computers and devices if I want to keep them all in sync.

  • I'm no longer able to copy photos from email to my iPad photo stream.  The Save menu doesn't come up like it did before.  When I press on the image, I only get the option to Copy, and I can't paste it into my photo stream.

    II'm no longer able to copy photos from email to iPa stream.  The Save menu does not come up Shen I press on the image like it did before.

    Hi beerexpert,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPad. If you are having unusual menu or option behaviour, you may want to try restarting/resetting your device, as outlined below:
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    You may also want to double-check that you have available space, as noted here:
    See how much storage you've used on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

  • Ever since I had updated my phone to ios 6, i noticed that it no longer saved photos to my camera roll.  If i download a picture on on an app, it will not automatically save it to my camera roll as it used to do, nor does it save any image

    Ever since I had updated my phone to ios 6, i noticed that it no longer saved photos to my camera roll. If I take a picture on Instagram, it will not automatically save it to my camera roll as it used to do, nor does it save any image, I just want it fixed.

    To gdgmacguy your a f****** idiot for one I'm having the same problem as pennymar. And you tell me to quit whinning. You got more problems then the iOS 6 you did not answer my question nor the other 13 or whatever you replied to within a 30 min time frame. You must got nothing better to do then to harass people and to pretend you know something about apple products. Which you don't from what I've read the other advices you should have gave to other people. But you didn't you replied a question back to the people asking a question. So if your not gonna use these community forums the right way don't use them at all.

  • Each time I create a new album in IPhoto, photos from another album or from photo stream are automatically dumped into the new album..  how do I create a blank album and then import photos from a flash drive into the new album?

    just import the iPhoto
    Surely you meant "just import the photo"?  The Spell checker is dangerously creative !

  • HT201317 Shouldn't the photos on my iPhone's "My Photo Stream" be the same photos that are on my computer under "photo stream"?

    Shouldn't the photos on my iPhone's "My Photo Stream" be the same photos that are on my computer under "photo stream"?

    Not if you enable photo stream on your computer at a later date.  Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, even though your last 1000 photos remain on your iOS devices until deleted.  This means that when you enable photo stream on your computer (or any other device) you only receive photo stream photos from the last 30 days, even though you may have older photos on your phone.

  • Does photo stream save onto my computer or stream?

    when i have photo stream turned on on iphoto, i think it's actually saving the files on my computer. i checked this by going to File Reveal in Finder.
    I thought this was suppose to be streaming? why else would it have the little wifi type icon on the bottom left of the photos in iphoto?
    this seems redundent on my computer. basically, every photo i take on my photo or even import to iphoto, gets doubled.
    so now i have a photo album that i made on iphoto after importing pictures from my nikon. so it saved it on iphoto, then updated it to photo stream. so now i have a copy of each of those photos twice now on my computer. this is taking up a lot of space.
    is this right? or am i completely wrong?

    I share your frustrations with Photo Stream. While it is great for quickly accessing random photos on other devices, it makes proper photo management a pain. The same photo easily ends up in both the Camera Roll and Photo Stream iOS folders, as well as in the Photo Stream section of iPhoto, AS WELL as in an iPhoto event called [month] Photo Stream".
    Deleting the photo from the Camera Roll does not delete the photo and vice versa, so deleting a photo is troublesome. And by creating monthly photo stream folders it makes it hard to maintain a nice event-sorted photo album.
    The alternative I employ is to have migrated to Google's Picasa (not just to fix this issue but also from general annoyances with iPhoto and lack of online features). It does the same role as iPhoto (I.e. offline store of all photos and management/organising of them), and I sync all my photos with Picasa Web Albums which I can easily upload to from my phone/iPad/etc. Not only is my photo management sorted but I have a permanent online backup of all my photos. It also let's me share any album/photo with people which is handy. I therefore disable photo stream and upload any photos to any album I want from my phone, instantly accessible online anywhere.
    This has been quite an undertaking for the last few days so I thought I'd share!

  • How do i get photos to save directly into my cloud not just my phone?

    i purchased extra room on my iCloud and turned on photo stream on my devices. i did this so my photos would be stored on the cloud because i always run out of storage on my phone. firstly, how do i get pictures to start automatically saving into the photo stream? and how do i get photos to save directly into the cloud and not just on my device? I have my cloud connected between my macbook, ipad and iphone. i have mountain lion on my macbook, my ipad was just purchased last week so should be up to date, and have downloaded and installed the most up to date software on my phone.

    Hello zampass,
    Photos do not take up space on your iCloud storage. Photo Stream is seperate from iCloud storage.
    Does Photo Stream use my iCloud storage?
    No. Photos uploaded to My Photo Stream or Shared Photo Streams do not count against your iCloud storage.
    From: iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4486
    I would recommend turning on Photo Stream, outlined in the same FAQ:
    How do I turn on Photo Stream?
    Once your devices are up to date and you have set up your iCloud account, it’s easy turn on Photo Stream on any of your devices. Here’s how:
    On your iOS devices, go to Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream, and turn on My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams.
    On your Mac, go to System Preferences > iCloud and select the checkbox for Photo Stream. Click the Options button to verify that both My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams are enabled. Then, open iPhoto or Aperture to confirm that My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams are turned on in the application you want to use with Photo Stream. You can also adjust your Photo Stream settings in iPhoto or Aperture Preferences.
    And tell iPhoto to automatically Import the photos to the computer from Photo Stream in the iPhoto Preferences:
    That way your Photo stream items will always Automatically download to your computer and you can sync them to whatever device you choose.
    When all that is setup, you can delete newer photos as you take them or periodically from the Camera Roll to free up space.
    Keep this in mind from the FAQ:
    What photo formats does Photo Stream support?
    Photo Stream supports JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and most RAW photo formats. Photo Stream does not work with video.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Are my iCloud photos stored? I lost phone abroad and want to access the photos and save them to my iPad.

    are my iCloud photos stored? I lost phone abroad and want to access the photos and save them to my iPad.

    Photo stream photos remain in iCloud for 30 days, and can be accessed by enabling my photo stream on another iOS device or computer.  Shared streams remain in iCloud indefinitely, and can be accessed by enabling Photo Sharing on an iOS device or computer.  Your camera roll photos are included in your device backup.  Restoring the backup to another iPhone or iPod touch should recover them (unfortunately, you can recover them by restoring an iPhone backup to your iPad).  If the backup is an iCloud backup be aware that Apple will delete it after 180 days of inactivity so you'll want to restore the backup prior to that.

  • HT201317 Where my photo in icloud

    I Wand to back up  my photophoto

    You can only see you photo stream photos on an iOS device or computer that is signed into your iCloud account with photo stream enabled.
    To back up your camera roll photos, import them to your computer using your usb cable, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  To back up photo stream photos that aren't in your camera roll, save them to the camera roll by tapping Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll.  Then import them to your computer along with your other camera roll photos.

  • How do I share photos automatically?

    How do I share photos automatically? I have an iMac with OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 and iPhoto 9.5.1. I have an iPhone and an iPad with iOS 8.3. I want to share photos in both directions between iPhoto on the iMac and the Photos app on my iOS devices. I just took a photo of myself, using Photo Booth on the iMac, and I wanted to see it on my iPhone. I found a way to do that manually by means of iCloud (see Get help with your iCloud Photo Library - Apple Support.) But is there a way to automatically have photos from any of my devices appear on all my other devices? Thanks in advance.

    OK, Larry ...
    I finally got around to working on this again. Sorry for the delay. I did the things listed in the link you provided. Something is still wrong. I have 299 photos in iPhoto's My Photo Stream on my iMac, but in iCloud and on my iOS devices, only 228 show up. Several I added to iPhoto from My Photo Stream on Saturday are missing in iCloud/iOS, while two from that same batch do show up. If I select one of the missing ones in iPhoto's My Photo Stream and try to "Share" it expressly with iCloud, iCloud asks, "Shot this photo in your library?/To edit or share this photo, you must use the version that has already been imported into your library." If I click on "Show in Library" in the dialog, I am taken to the same photo in Library:Photos. If I then use the "Share:iCloud" icon while that photo is selected, I see a box that has three items: "New photo stream," "My Photo Stream," and (another photo stream I have) "WWI Shared by You." If I then click on "My Photo Stream," a dialog appears saying, "All the selected photos are already in My Photo Stream."
    So it looks like the photos that are not actually present in iCloud/iOS are ones that give me this weird circular behavior in iPhoto. Do you have any suggestions or explanations? Thanks.

  • Sync photos automatically from iPhone to PC

    Hy!
    Is there a way to sync my photos automatically to my PC via WiFi, when my iPhone is plugged in? I mean, I give a destination folder, and it would be automatic that the iTunes is checking the date/time of making the picture and the new ones will downloaded. Or something.
    Or can I do it via iCloud? I don't want to upload the pictures (to store them there) only want to save them to my PC. Of course when I'm at home, and my iPhone is plugged in to charger.
    Thx

    You can either sync them into your itunes account.  When you sync/upload your info/plugging your iphone into your computer.  Itunes will automatically ask which photos you want to download/sync to your computer.
    I have just started using icloud, but have read that you can save all pictures/other info straight to your computer thru an icloud setting?  I haven't tried this one yet.
    I hope this helps??

  • Photos Screen saver problems in Windows 7

    Photos screen saver crashes most of the time when I move the mouse to exit.
    Round circle, this application is not responding etc.
    This is pc  upgraded from Vista

    Hi sven253,
    Is there any third party screen saver software installed? If so, please uninstall it and see if the issue occurs.
    As Magon mentioned, Clean Boot is a good method to check if the issue is related to third party software and services. If the issue disappears in the Clean Boot environment, we can use a 50/50 approach to quickly narrow down which entry is causing the issue.
    Also, please test the Sample Pictures came with Windows 7 and see if the issue exists:
    1.     Right click on the Desktop and then click Personalize.
    2.     Click Screen Saver.
    3.     Select Photos and then click Settings…
    4.     Browse the folder to C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures
    5.     Click Save.
    6.     Click OK.
    What is the result? If the issue persists, please test if the issue occurs using other screen saver, such as 3D Text or Bubbles. However, if the issue does not occur using Sample Pictures, could you please provide the following information for further research?
    ·          What is the file types you are using? Are they .jpg file or .bmp files?
    ·          What are the file size of each photo?
    ·          How many files are there in photo folder?
    ·          When did the issue first occur? Did it occur after installing certain software or changing some hardware?
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Linda
