HT202786 where do the iCloud photo sharing pictures and video store?

like does it take up storage from my iphone as if they were saved there?

Yes, shared photo sharing takes up storage on your device. It's a bit less than if the photos/videos were taken on your device as shared albums are "device optimized" and are typically lower resolution than the originals in the camera roll.

The option to upload pictures and videos to you tube has disappeared in i photo 9 How do I get it back so I can share to you tube

I do not believe that iPhoto has ever supported youtube uploads - the iPhone does - you may have found a third party plug in to do that - if so it would have been in the export options not the share options

Hi, My recent trip pics on my iphone are more than 30 days old and my icloud photo sharing had been turned off. How do I now share them to my PC which is on the icloud photo sharing? I want to save/print these once shared to my PC. Help?

My trip pics are more than 30 days old and my icloud photo sharing was turned off. How can I now share them to my PC for saving/printing? My sharing is now turned on but it's not loading them? Help?

That list includes all the apps that you installed to your device directly from iTunes on the computer, or which were purchased on the iOS device and subsequently transferred to iTunes on the computer.
If you right click on any item in that list and choose "Show in Windows Explorer" it will open your iTunes application installer directory on your computer, which should be:
C:\Users\User\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Mobile Applications
In there are all your saved application installers (*.ipa files). You need to delete those actual installer bundles and then make sure to NOT allow the "transfer purchased content" when you sync or backup in iTunes (as that will just put them back on your hard drive).
One caveat to removing those, is that if you ever wish to keep a specific release of a particular app, and the developer replaces the iTunes/App store version with something else, your sole source for your older version will be your own stored copy of it. So for example, when PDF expert released their iOS 7 update, and charged everyone full price for it, if you wished to keep using the previous version on your own devices, then you needed to keep a copy of the installer on your own computer as that older version is no longer available in the store front.

How can I remove my iCloud Photo Albums from my iPhone 6 storage, but still use the iCloud Photo Sharing?

I put all my photos from my iPod Touch 4 and my iPhone 4S in iCloud Photo Albums and Labeled them so that when I got the new iPhone 6 on iOS 8.1.2 I could have my previous photos on there for future use. Now I look on my iTunes app on my computer it shows that my storage on my iPhone 6 is almost full. Those Photos in iCloud are taking up all my storage on my iPhone. I know how to add more storage on my iCloud account, I just want to know Is there a way where my iCloud Photo Albums can still be in my iCloud Account, just not taking up all my storage on my iPhone.

Hello mushysun,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you did not sign out of your Apple ID on your iPhone before creating a new one, then you will need to sign back in with your previous Apple ID and then sign out. If you do not remember your password and do not have access to the email account, then you can reset your password by using the security questions.
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
Have a great weekend,

I have an iPod touch, and an update was suggested for my iPod. After the update, all my pictures and videos were wiped. I need some of those pictures for a science lab due in a few days. Is ther any possible way for me to get my pictures back?

Help! I just lost all my pictures by doing an update and I NEED them for school. How do I get them back?!

- If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
- If they are in the iTunes backup then get them from the backup by:
Recover iPhone, iPad or iPod photos from backups with Picturescue
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
- If they were synced to the iPod then you have to get then from where they were synced from.

Does the iPad 2, save pictures and videos even if a person doesn't download them?

It would be a good help, as I need the information for a school project about technology.

you are talking about attachments to e mails? No - it does save them until you download them, then open them in some application. Touch the item, look at it, then save it.
If you down load it and dont do anything further, it will stay with the e mail until you delete it, or it falls off your mailbox list. If you want or need to save it permanatly, you need to specifically save it.

Iphone 6 icloud photo sharing not working

Today I got an iphone 6, did all the updates, and tried to use the icloud photo sharing. I can create a stream, add photos, and invite people to view; however, when other people accept the invitation nothing shows up except "No Items" despite me sharing 50+ photos. Also, when the other person adds photos to the stream I don't see anything on my end.
How do I fix this?

Hi there matmkirk,
I would recommend taking a look at the Photo Stream troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

Bloggie lost all pictures and video taken before new year.

Somehow, the bloggie lost all pictures and video I have taken before Jan 1, 2011. I know I did not delete any of pictures on this camera, but the crossover of the Jan 1, 2011 seems remove all old pictures. Why? It must be a software bug or something.
I bought my bloggie from HBC Canada, The Bay, in December, 2010.
My Bloggie has 8GB memory.
Any idea? Do you have the same problem with your Sony Bloggie?

Check to see if you have the full space available on the bloggie - if they really are completely missing then there are many 3rd party file recovery programs out there, some free, that can be used to recover accidentally deleted or corrupted files. In this circumstance you also have to be very careful - to increase the likelihood of being able to recover the photos and video after they have been deleted don't save any new photos, files or data to your bloggie until you've made the recovery attempt.

DVDs are encoded into MPEG2, which iMovie cannot edit. So you need to convert the DVD back to something else. For highest quality, I recommend that you convert the DVD to Apple Intermediate Codec. There is a free tool called MPEG Streamclip that will do this. You will also need to install the Apple QuickTIme MPEG2 Playback Component.
Here are the details.
1) Download and install the Apple MPEG2 QuickTime Component ($20) - available online from Apple.
2) Download and install MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 (free).
3) Start MPEG Streamclip
4) Insert your DVD into your Mac. If DVD Player or Front Row starts automatically quit those.
5) Open a Finder window. Navigate to your DVD to the Video_TS folder.
6) Drag the .VOB files from the Video_TS folder and drop then into MPEG Streamclip.
7) If MPEG Streamclip offers to fix timecode breaks, say yes.
8) Use FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME to convert the files to Apple Intermediate Codec (or h.264 if you prefer)
9a) Optional: You can deinterlace your footage in this step, if you like
9b) optional: If you know the date and or time of the footage, name your file
clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss
(let mpeg streamclip provide the extension). This will provide metadata that iMovie will use to put the event in the right year and month.
9c) Optional: If you don't want to make one huge clip out of your DVD, you can make smaller clips by using MPEG Streamclip. Move the cursor to the "in" point of the clip, and press i. Move the cursor to the "Out" point of the clip, and press o. Then do steps 8 through 10 and repeat until you have done this for all clips you want.
10) Save the resulting file in a place where you can find it, like your Desktop.
11) Open iMovie.
12) In iMovie, choose FILE/IMPORT/From File and choose the file you saved in steps 8, 9, 10.
13) iMovie will generate thumbnails and you can edit.

HT202786 Why is iCloud photo sharing using phone capacity?!

My spouse and I use iCloud photo sharing all the time. We both take photos and videos of our kids and events and put them in our shared albums so we both can view. Then we delete them off of our phone to save space. But we both have been getting the message, on our phones, that our storage is full and can't take pictures. We have discovered in Settings>About, that those photos and videos are taking up our phone's capacity! If the pics are in the cloud, and not on our phone, why are they taking up phone space!?

Thank you for your response. But, I was also emptying my recently deleted folder as well. I think those numbers was a glitch for me because once I updated to the latest iOS, those numbers went down to what they should be. BUT, iCloud photo sharing is still using my phones storage. When I go to settings>general>usage>manage usage>photos>shared photo stream is using a few GB. And when I add photos or videos to a shared photo stream, that number goes up.
I don't understand why photos and videos in the "cloud" are using up my storage.

I recently turned off iCloud photo sharing and lost all the photos off my iPhone 4S. How can I get them back onto my phone?

IF you have successfully imported your pictures to your Mac http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 then it's safe to delete it from your phone.
If you want the pics back on your phone, just sync them back using itunes http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

Can someone explain me the difference between iCloud Photo Sharing, My Photo Stream and iCloud Photo Library?

This is very confusing. Can someone explain the difference between these 3 options in Photos app.
iCloud Photo Sharing, My Photo Stream and iCloud Photo Library.

Your iPhoto Library is located in your /Home/Pictures/ folder and contains all the photos you have put into iPhoto. iCloud Photo Library is the library of photos you have stored in iCloud.

HT202786 icloud photo sharing missing location data

I have created a shared album using iCloud photo sharing with a friend. When I share some pictures from Photos on iPhone 6 with my friend using also iPhone 6 though tie shared album the pictures do not show the location data (geotag/map info). help me!

I have the same issue: the Shared tab shows zero content, even though I have dozens of shared albums in PhotoStream (all visible from my other devices, actually). I'm using iCloud Drive for photos on my MacBook Air and iPhone, but on my main desktop computer (Mac Mini) I opted to keep using PhotoStream. I'm thus wondering if that's part of the problem?
I'm using iCloud Drive for photos on my secondary devices, but on my main desktop device I have just about 1 TB of photos, and iCloud storage is WAY too expensive for that. (By contrast, OneDrive can handle my photo backups as a part of my 365 subscription.) Maybe I should turn iCloud Drive off on all devices and go back to my old system and see what happens. But I'm curious what sort of scenarios are causing the missing Shared Albums for other people.

Hey everyone, I sent all my photos to icloud photo sharing, and I want to know if I can reset my iPad without the photos gone? Please help!!!
