HT201317 So if photos are deleted after 30 day from icloud

If photos are deleted after 30 days from icloud, why doesn't my available storage increase if I have had "backup device" turned off for more than 30 days.

That refers to photo stream photos, which don't count against your iCloud storage.  They also aren't contained in the iCloud backup; only camera roll photos are, which are not deleted after 30 days.  They stay on your device until you delete them.

  • My photos are not transferring over from iCloud

    My photos are not transferring over from iCloud.I have put my device back to factory settings and still they will not transfer over.The only device all my photos are still on is my iPhone.

    If it appears to not be making any progress even though you have a strong wifi signal, sometimes turning the phone off, then back on will get things going again.  Otherwise about all you can do is try restoring the backup again.  If you still have the old phone, you could also try creating an iTunes backup, then restoring that backup to your new phone.

  • Some Photos are blank after conversion from Aperture

    Library contains 45K photos .. migrated from Aperture.  For some reason a large number of the photos have meta data but are blank.  Where have they gone?

    Partial CLUE ..
    Two photos .. appear to be dupes .. but the case of the file NAME is different.  The UPPERCASE JPG is blank .. the lowercase .jpg is not.
    Ok -- Apple Engineers .. here's a start .. go fix.

  • Are previews deleted when photos are deleted?

    After being confused for a while (as I'm sure many are) about not being able to delete photos from my memory card from Lightroom, I am trying to get into a "correct" workflow which I believe involves formatting the card when I have saved and backed up the images on it. So far I've come to this:
    0) Start with an empty memory card and take photos with my camera
    1) Import all photos, selecting to create 1:1 previews
    2) Look through the imported photos, marking the ones I never want to look at again as Rejected
    3) Delete Rejected photos
    4) Backup everything that is left
    5) Format memory card
    This seems to work, but I just want to make sure that the 1:1 previews created during the import of the photos that I Reject are deleted at the same time as the Rejected photos are deleted, so that they are not part of the backup step. Is this the case?
    Also, are there any other problems with this workflow?
    Thanks,
    David

    Previews should not be in the same folder hierarchy as the actual images.
    With regards to rejecting photos, there are pros and cons to each approach. I just import everything.
    I don't know if previews are deleted immediately when the image is deleted, I don't worry about it, I have never had a need to see whether a particular preview exists in the preview cache, so actually I don't know the answer. Why does it matter? Is your disk so close to being full that you are worried about it? that's the only possible reason I can think of to worry about what exists and doesn't exist in the previews cache, and since Lightroom does a very good job of managing these preview files so the human user doesn't have to, I would recommend you not worry about it. There's enough to do managing your actual images so my advice is to not worry about what is and is not in the preview cache.

  • All self-hosted web fonts are deleted after update to latest Muse version (2014.3)

    All the self-hosted web fonts are deleted after updating Muse.
    It is necessary to import the self-hosted fonts again and then redefine every paragraph style to make it work again.
    This is an extra hour of work for every site using self-hosted fonts.
    Please make sure to improve this on the next update-release of Adobe Muse.
    Thanks

    Hi Abhishek,
    the site is directly uploaded using MUSE Upload to ftp host. When I open it with ftp client, there is off file of etelkawidemedium in fonts file.
    And I have tried to upload plain webpage with the same web font -  not made in Muse and it works.

  • I don't know where my photos are going after I take a picture

    I don't know where my photos are going after I take a picture

    Most likely they are not going anywhere. What is the reason behind such a generic question?
    Do you suspect they are being uploaded somewhere?
    Do they not show in the Camera Roll after being taken?

  • HT4847 if i delete camera roll from iCloud to free some space, did i loose my photos?

    if i delete camera roll from iCloud to free some space, did i loose my photos?

    What exactly have you deleted.
    If you have deleted the photos from your camera roll on your device, then you may well have lost them, assuming that they are not also in photo stream.
    Please tell is exactly what you deleted and from where.

  • Does family sharing mean all photos are backed up to one icloud account?

    I am unclear what Family Sharing means.
    Does family sharing mean all photos are backed up to one icloud account?  Or simply that we can all see each other's streams.  As it stands now, I understand we can share streams, without having family sharing enabled.  Basically, I want to know if we can be logged into separate icloud accounts yet share photo and document storage as we currently can with dropbox.
    I want to share photo storage and file backup with my wife.  Currently, we both use her apple id to make store purchases and have our own icloud accounts.  This solves some problems, but I still have old itunes purchases(grant you fairly old at this point) that I cannot access when I am logged into her id. 
    I realize we could both use our own icloud account and upgrade storage individually, but this fails the economy test.  We have roughly 60 gb of family photo storage, so we would both need 200 gb plans.
    we both have ipads and iphones.  i simply want us each to be able to take photos and have them automatically saved to one storage solution.
    Thanks in advance.
    Shalom

    The only way you can see the contents of an iCloud backup is to restore it to an iOS device. You could restore it to your new phone -- but that would mean you would first have to erase your new phone so I wouldn't recommend it unless you have nothing of value on the new phone. In theory you could backup the new phone, erase it, restore from the old and see what is there and copy the photos to a computer and then erase it again and restore it back from the new phone backup. I would emphasize that is at your own risk as restoring from backups do not always go as advertised. More info: iCloud: Restore your iOS device from iCloud

  • Where can I find un-recovered photos after restoring from Icloud

    Where can I find un-recovered photos after restoring from Icloud?

    They would only be stored in your backup.  If they didn't restore properly all you can do is try restoring the backup again.

  • Save photos to my windows pc from icloud

    Hi guys, my last back up from iphone to icloud was last May.After that it said I need more space to back up. I don't use it too much in order to buy more space, and I suppose the space is occupied by backed up photos only. How can I save these photos to my windows pc from icloud to empty the space? Thanks

    Photo stream only keeps photos in iCloud for 30 days (even though they remain on your devices until deleted).  If you just recently enabled photo stream on your PC, the 75 photos are the ones added in the last 30 as the older ones are no longer in iCloud.
    If they are still on your device, you can import them from the camera roll as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  If they aren't in the camera roll, save them from your photo stream album by tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  Then they can be imported to your computer.

  • How can I delete all songs from iCloud library?

    Hi,
    I have a strange issue and couldn't really find any information about this on Google, so I thought I would try here. I'm kind of surprised this hasn't come up for other users yet (or maybe it has and I'm just missing it.)
    I matched my iTunes library yesterday. About 60% of the songs were matched, 15% were uploaded and 25% were errored. I really like iTunes Match but I decided that I want to micromanage the library to get the best match results. To do this, I wanted to do the following:
    1. Remove all songs from my iCloud library
    2. Create a new iTunes library for use with iTunes
    3. Add to the library, artist by artist to match/correct.
    I began to do this in my new library and it was working fine. However I then decided to completely clear the old library, so I went into my original library, deleted all songs and definitely selected the option to delete from iCloud. I am 100% positive I did this. However, none of the songs deleted. They are not available in my original library (I have checked the option to display songs not on this computer) and they don't show up in my other library, either. I have no option to download the songs from iTunes on any computer, though I retain access from my iPhone.
    So, I need to delete these songs from iCloud. It does me no good to have them there when they're so disorganized and especially when I can't access them from most of my iTunes enabled devices. I was thinking of calling Apple to see if they could clear my iCloud library but a. I'm not sure they will and b. I don't want to pay $29 to discuss this with them, as I feel it is an issue with iTunes Match/iCloud and should be complimentary.
    I thought that maybe the songs would delete over time, since I know the iCloud servers are heavily taxed at the moment. However, it has been about 15 hours and there is absolutely no change. The iMatch section of iTunes shows that there are songs available, but none of them are; and since my plan is to reupload to iCloud anyway, that's fine--I just need to find out how to actually make the delete go through.
    Thanks!

    I called Apple and spoke with a customer service representative regarding this issue. I was given the two things to try, and if they don't work, I was told I can call back in:
    1. Go to iCloud.com and look at the advanced options. Since Photos can be deleted here, the representative thought there may be an option to remove songs here as well.
    2. Go into the library that has the songs that were deleted and click Update iTunes match.
    I tried #1--this didn't resolve the issue, as there is no option to remove songs this way. I can't try #2 right now since I'm at work, but if anybody else with this issue can try that step it can help us get the ball rolling on it. After I try that, I'll call Apple back to discuss this further.

  • How can I delete a song from iCloud / iTunes Match, but keep it on my Mac?

    How can I delete a song from iCloud / iTunes Match, but keep it on my Mac?
    I subscribed to iTunes Match a few weeks ago and my entire library was uploaded.  I do not want all of my library in the Cloud, especially given that there is a space/song limitation.  Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Apologies Brandon, we have moved on somewhat from your original question.
    What I have done is effectively used Michael's idea. I'll try to explain a little further.
    You can run iTunes match on up to 5 computers, and you can edit the iCloud library on any of them. Michael's idea works on the basis that, whilst you can edit the iTunes library, you can't remove songs from other computers.
    I have basically the same setup as you, but I also have a MacBook Air, which is running iTunes Match but without any music downloaded so it all streams.
    I added the songs on my main library, which then added them to the cloud. When they appeared on my MacBook I deleted them straight away. As there was no local copy I was asked if I wanted to delete them from the cloud, and I said yes. When I went back to my main computer I found that, as expected, they were still there, but the iCloud status is "removed". They are therefore on my library but not in iCloud.
    Since then I have run match updates a couple of times and there is no sign as yet that it will try to add them back to the cloud. It's too early to say that this is a definate answer to your problem, but it looks very hopeful.
    Our other discussions have moved onto the 25,000 son limit, which I note from your comment you may also be interested in. Watch this space.
    If you don't have access to a second computer to run the other library on then look back at Michael's post where he explains how to set it up on your main computer.
    Hope that clarifies a bit.

  • Deleted duplicate contacts from icloud and want to sync updated contacts to iphone and ipad?

    Can anyone help with this?
    Deleted duplicate contacts from icloud and want to sync updated contacts to iphone and ipad?  Did it on icloud cause have duplicates on ipad and iphone also

    Check icloud.com to be sure you contact list is correct there.  If it is, just go to Settings>iCloud on your device and turn Contacts to On to sync the contacts to your device.  If contacts are already set to On and you still see duplicates, you may be viewing a duplicate contact group in addition to the iCloud contacts.  Open Contacts, tap Groups, then tap any groups other than iCloud to uncheck them, then tap Done.  See if the duplicates are still there.
