HT201317 how do I save photos in my "camera roll" to "my photo stream" so that I can save them to icloud?

Ive tried saving photos to my photostream but whenever i select a photo in my camera roll and i click "add to" it doesnt allow me to add it to any pre-existing albums or to even add it to "my photo stream". Please help me get this figured out. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

Only photos taken with the Camera or saved to the Camera Roll are sent to PhotoStream. You can cause photos already in the Camera Roll to go to PhotoStream by various roundabout fashions like emailing them to yourself and then saving them.
The point is, however, that putting photos into PhotoStream is in no way "saving them". PhotoStream only retains 1000 photos and those for only 30 days.
If you want to archive photos save them to your computer or save them to a cloud service like Dropbox.

    Ah, new to routers too.
    Perhaps it's best to have a local computer support person come set you up?
    To explain everything would require writing a book here.
    But this is what you want basically.
    Router, new Wireless N, firmware updated.
    1: Two accounts, one admin, one guest Internet access. Random +30 plus character lenght passwords each preferred.
    (guest password to max password length of any iDevices)
    2: Encryption: WPA2 AES. No Ping. No remote access. No MAC filtering. Visible.
    3: Guest access on devices and computers only.  Passwords written down and stored.
    4: OpenDNS preferred but not mandatory.
    If you get OpenDNS, you can log into their website for free and set parental controls on things like inappropriate sites for children. So whatever device is used on your network can't access a large portion of those sites (nothing is perfect) by most users who are not technical oriented.
    What your doing now is running the bare bones unsecure router which can be used harmfully against you.
    Even a Apple Airport router has to be very well secured. The defautl cd and out of the box setup is not a secure solution.

  • I have deleted photos in photo stream but have all the photos in camera roll folders.  Is it possible to move those photos to photos stream so that I can back up in iCloud.

    UUpload photos to iCloud

    Hi Ldct,
    I see that you are trying to move some photos into your Photo Stream. I have an article which can tell you how to accomplish this:

  • From a PC, how do I store a photo into Photo Stream so that I can access it on iPad?

    From a PC, how do I store a photo into Photo Stream so that I can access it on iPad? Like, a Word document can be dropped into iCloud from my PC and it will appear when I open iCloud from my iPad.

    Text copied from here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2606?viewlocale=en_US
    From your Windows desktop
    From your Windows desktop, drag any photo to the Photo Stream Uploads folder you chose in the iCloud Control Panel.
    Note:   Photos in Photo Stream appear in the order they were originally taken, not in the order they were added to Photo Stream. If you manually add photos, they appear throughout Photo Stream in the appropriate date order.
    For a list of file types that can be added to Photo Stream, go to the Apple Support article Photo Stream FAQ and see “What photo formats does Photo Stream support.”

    QuickTime Player is not itself able to do this. You need a proper DVD authoring solution such as Apple's iDVD.

    How do I veiw Photo Stream on my PC

    To view Photo Stream, install iCloud Control Panel > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1455
    Then, open Control Panel > Network and Internet > iCloud, log in with your Apple ID, and mark Photo Stream. Then, press Options button to see which the Photo Stream folders are, so you just have to access to those folders depending on if you want to see Photo Stream photos or upload them

  • HT201317 How do I force photo stream to update

    Photos taken with iPhone 4s on iOS 5.1.1 do not update onto iPad 2 iOS 5.1.1. Photo stream is switched on and both devices on wifi

    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
    Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
    If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
    Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

  • How do I retrieve photo stream pictures that have disappeared?

    My photos seem to be disappearing from photo stream.
    Where are they going and how do I get them back?

    That's correct. Photostream only stores the most recent 1000 photos for up to 30 days. You are supposed to download a permanent copy to your computer for arhival purposes within that time.

  • HT201317 How do i remove photo stream from my windows 7 pc? I have not given permission for it to be enabled, but the icon and text still exists in 'computer'.

    I had already done that before giving him the phone.  I left iTunes Match on it because in my mind, he would have access to his music and more.  I guess he did not like the clutter form having the entire music to have to browse through.
    In any case, I fixed the problem by doing a factory reset and restore from backup.
    I should not need to do that .. but that got rid of the iTunes Match from the device.

  • How do I transfer photos from 'camera roll' to 'photo stream' so that they sync w/ my PC?

    I want to take pics w/ the phone and then view them on my PC. I can't seem to get the photos and video to move from 'camera roll' to 'photo stream' so that I can work with them on my PC. I can move pics on my PC into the photostream upload folder and those appear quicklly on my phone in the photo stream album.

    How do you do that? I've tried through iPhoto and iTunes and in neither case are the images/videos from the Camera Roll accessable. Images from Photo Stream are, but not Camera Roll. And since images/videos saved from Messages end up in Camera Roll, I can't figure out how to get them either into Photo Stream or transfered to my computer.

  • HT201317 how do I save my photo stream photos to my camera roll? It's not working.

    how do I save my photo stream photos to my camera roll? It's not working.

    Photo stream photos are not included in your backup, only camera roll photos are.  Photo stream photos can only be accessed from an iOS device or computer that is signed into your iCloud account and has photo stream enabled.  However, they only remain in iCloud for 30 days; if the photos are older than that they are no longer available to download.
    If the photos were in the camera roll on your 3GS when you last backed it up, restoring the backup to another iPHone should recover them.  If this is an iCloud backup, you'll need to do this before the backup is 180 days old or Apple will delete it.
    If you need to restore the iCloud backup to your 4s, back up your 4s to your computer using iTunes, then restore the iCloud backup of your old phone to it, import the recovered photos to your computer (as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then restore your phone to the iTunes backup your made earler to recover your data.

  • How do I save iMovies into iCloud?

    I have an iMac with vs. 11 of iMovie.  I want to buy a Mac Air, and the salesman stated that I can move all my iMovies into my iCloud account to be visible on all my apple products.  When I followed directions under the Documents...options....iMovie was not a choice.  How do I get it there?  Must I upgrade to iMovie 13?  If so, will the iCloud account be updated to save the new version iMovies?

    If you create a Shared Photo Stream in iPhoto you can add movies to it.
    You'll have to get the movie into iPhoto first.

  • HT4865 I don't have enough storage space on my iPhone 4S to download the new OS7 so how do I save it to iCloud and remove it from my iPhone to make room but not loose the deleted stuff from iCloud?

    I don't have enough storage space on my iPhone 4S to download the new OS7 so how do I save it to iCloud and remove it from my iPhone to make room but not loose the deleted stuff from iCloud?

    You can't use iCloud like that.  It isn't a general file storage service; it's designed to sync data across your devices. 
    Some options are to sync all your music or other media off your device, then sync it back on after you update.  Another is to import your photos to your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then sync them back to your phone after you update by putting them in a folder, then selecting the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.
