HT203097 How do I exclude videos from iCloud backup?

Hello all. I use an iPhone5 on iOS 8.1.2. I've used up 19.8GB of 20 GB available on my iCloud account. I'd like to exclude all the videos on my camera roll from backing up rather than delete any more stuff. can you show me how?

I'm afraid you can't exclude only videos, you just can delete the camera roll from your iCloud backup in Settings/iCloud/Storage/Managing Storage/Your device/Photo Library
You'll have to transfer the videos to your computer and delete them on your device after that, if you don't want to have them included in the backup.

  • How do I download videos from iCloud to my ipad

    I placed videos from my iPhone to iCloud.  I want to download those videos to my iPad using the same iCloud account

    And exactly how did you place videos into iCloud from your iPad? Photos and videos from the camera roll are stored in your iCloud backup which is only accessible by restoring from the backup.
    If you are talking about purchased videos, go to the purchased tab of iTunes on the iPad, tap on Movies, tap on Not on this iPad and if there is a cloud icon next to those videos, you can download them again for free.
    if that is not want you are talking about, further explanation from you is needed.

  • How to recover pics/video from iCloud?

    I saved all pics and videos, however, when I did the IOS update I lost all from my device. How do I recover the photos and videos from iCloud?

    pvonk...thanks for your reply. Firstly, no, we have been saving everything but relatively irregularly hence not noticing all this before. I've let my husband do it for about 5 months due to being preg/new baby/tired etc. It's only this last time that we noticed all this strange stuff. Lots of questions here, if you're happy to help out some more?
    Interesting (and perhaps obvious!) that photostream is only photos! But pics AND videos will be in icloud for 30 days - even if my back up is to the Mac and an external hard drive, or only if back up is to icloud?
    And photostream and icloud are totally separate...yes?
    Someone has mentioned that my videos might be in iVideo..? No ideas where/how to find this folder...should it be along the bottom bar, cos it's not...
    Have I some how set up this monthly photostream folder saving process in iphoto, or is that just a standard part of iphoto?
    And these photostream folders that have appeared...they could vanish if i switch off photostream? So I should copy and paste the photostream folders and rename them to permanently store the pics? Or just make sure that we download regularly?
    My plan going forward is to have an album/event (not got my head round the difference between them) per month, and then I can sort them out at a later date. If I download my phone and call it ie Sept 13, won't I be duplicating the auto folder called Photostream Sept 13?
    I'd be really grateful for any help here!

  • How can i extract messages from icloud backup in apple 4

    how can i extract watsapp messages from icloud backup in apple 4

    When you backup messages in iCloud, your SMS will be stored in Network. As i know, you cannot view the SMS. But you can try to sync to your iPhone or backup in iTunes. After that, you can extract your messages from iTunes with iPhone backup Extractor apps.

  • How to retreive a video from icloud

    I accidently deleted a video that was very important.  I had not synced it yet.  I have my icloud set to automatically send photos/videos to icloud.  I can always see the photos under the photo stream, but videos don't show there.  Can someone tell me how to check icloud and see if the video happened to be uploaded or how to download from it?
    Thanks.

  • How to pull down videos from ICloud to my IPhone?

    When I purchased my new IPhone, my pics were restored, but not my videos.  How do I get them from the ICloud?

    How did you put them in, if they were part of the backup instructions here.

  • How do I download pictures from icloud backup to a new device

    I just bought a new iPad yesterday because my iPhone was stolen a few weeks ago.  That phone was backed up to iCloud.  How do I get the pictures from iCloud back up to my new iPad?  I heard there is a short time period to retrieve them and I may be out of luck but need to try.  Any help will be much appreciated.

    Thank you for helping me.  Technology is not my strong suit.  I will explain how I got into this situation and then maybe there is another way to recover these photos:
    I finally decided to upgrade my unlocked Canadian iPhone 3 to a 4S here in California.
    The AT&T store personnel had a hard time getting the photos from the 3 to the 4S directly so they downloaded the photos from the 3 onto a computer and then to the 4S.  I apologize, I'm not sure how to see if the photos are in the Photo Stream but I know they were on the Camera Roll.
    After getting home, I was having issues downloading from iTunes. I think it was because the 3 was originally from Canada so the 4S kept sending me to the Canadian iTunes store when trying to log on.  We decided to wait and take the phone to an Apple store to get help however the phone was stolen shorty thereafter.
    A couple of days ago we bought an iPad and thought we should try and recover the photos from that phone.  We had some friends who live in Canada access the account and switch it over to recognize that it is a US account.
    My wife did set up iCloud on the 4S.  So we assumed the phone was backing up everything, including the Camera Roll, when charging.  Possibly not so.
    My wife is pretty sure the photo stream was on as we didn't change any of the settings after getting it.
    I would appreciate an ideas you may have.
    Thank you & kind regards,
    Doug

  • How do I restore notes from icloud backup to imac?

    Somehow my "notes" folder and all contents disappeared from my Mail app on my imac, but the current version is on my iphone and icloud (notes on iphone set to sync to cloud). An older version (15 days old) is also in TimeMachine, but I'd much rather restore from the current notes in icloud.
    How do I restore my current notes folder from icloud (or iphone) to my imac? 
    I don't seem to find the instructions in any other post. BTW, searching for words from the notes in spotlight showed no results on my imac, and it is not in the trash.
    Thank you for any suggestions that could work.

    I believe in Notes it has an indication what will be shown, in the upper left corner of the app see if there is a spot where you can indicate on Mac, iCloud, etc...I apologize, I'm not on my Mac at the moment and I'm writing from memory. Most of the iCloud based apps (Calendar, Contacts, etc...) have this setting in the upper left of the app.

  • Do you know how to download some videos from iCloud shared file to my iPad

    I have shared a file with some pictures and videos in "shared streams" with other iOS users. Everybody put their videos put their photos and videos, and I would like to download some of them to my camera roll to make a video with iMovie, but I cannot find the option. I am only allowed to download photos, no videos. Is there any way of download these videos in my iPad?

    You can buy and download films via the iTunes app on the iPad, they will then download into the Movies app - you will need to download the films over wifi as there is a 20 meg limit per file over 3G. Or you can buy and download them on your computer and then sync them to the iPad via your computer's iTunes - select the iPad 'device' on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side on the Movies tab select which films to sync to it

    Then your question should be how to remove video from iPad.  Your videos are sync via your iTunes.  Plug your iPad to your computer and then, click on the device from iTunes' left bar and go in the approprate tab to set your syncing option to not put these video on your iPad.

  • HT201317 how to recover deleted video from photo stream in icloud

    I have deleted a video from my iphone 4 photo stream before it was syncd to my computer.  My photo stream is backed up to icloud. How can I recover the video I deleted?  Thanks you!

    Photo stream doesn't upload videos, just photos.  If the video was in your camera roll when you last backed up your phone, restoring the entire backup should recover the video. 
    If you want to do this, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings (which will erase the phone), then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup.  Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.

  • How do I delete movie from iCloud on my iPad

    How do I delete movies from iCloud on my iPad

    That's a big fat lie, I have 10 movies via digital copy and takes 0 space from my icloud backup. & we have 5 devices backup to my icloud account AND I have my backup storage to basic 5GIGS. So right there you say to make you pay more storage is a BIG FAT LIE. Our devices contains 8-64GB's and everything fits in a 5gigs space.
    You might as add well the apps accounts for space to. WRONG!!
    Those apps are in your account but not in your storage, the iTunes App Store part, doesn't even add to your icloud storage. Your backup contains the save files, network routers you connected in the past plus the small layout how you customized it over your home page.
    That part takes small kb of space needed to save all that.
    Movies on your device will take storage but if it's NOT on your device, IT WONT!
    Like I said, once it's added to the account via key from the case to your account, stays tie to your account & will NOT take space from your icloud backup storage.
    And don't even forgt that I have 5 device from my family with 10 digital copies on one storage with 5gigs and have 800's MB left. We use our photo/videos we took from camera to a remote secure site onto our computers.
    Simple as that, if you don't listen to that then I feel sorry for you not listening.
    But your not gonna get any other answers besides logging out what I said months back. GOOD DAY!
    Ps. If there were, you've been already got an answer besides mine. Go ahead and waist your life lookn for an answer which doesn't have an answer to other than that what I said.
    And yes, that's what I meant JJorvath. Hide it but will not get off your account bc it's not part of icloud backup.

  • HT204022 Download photos & video from iCloud to iPad?

    How to retrieve video from iCloud back to iPad?

    What video do you mean?  From an icloud backup?  If so, you can only restore everything, you can't selectively restore just some of the data.
    Otherwise, video does't sync to icloud.
