HT204053 How do I access photos in the cloud

How do I access photos in the cloud?  I've downloaded them to a laptop but I'm unable to delete them from the cloud.  it's used up all of my storage and I can't backup my iPhone because I don't have enough storage.

If you're talking about photo stream photos, those don't take up any of your iCloud storage so deleting them won't save any space in your account.  You can delete them using your phone by opening your my photo stream album, tapping select, tapping the photos and tapping the trash icon.  Be sure to copy them out of the my photo stream folder on your computer before doing this or they will be deleted from your computer too.

  • How do I move photos to the cloud on iPad

    Want to save memory how do I move photos to the cloud on iPad

    Hi Bsbraley,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Photo Stream is a service that can be enabled on your iPad, iPhone and computer.  This will not move your files from the iPad to the cloud, but it will make a copy of your last 1000 photographs or 30 days of photos in iCloud.
    If your goal is to backup your photos so that you can delete them from your iPad to free up storage space, then I would recommend you import the photos to your computer.   
    The articles below will explain in more detail:

    how do you delete photos from the cloud?

    Hey linsfrombrandon,
    The closest you will get to have your photos live in iCloud and not taking as much storage space on your iPhone is by using iCloud Photo Library. What it does is makes your Photos live in iCloud but also appear on your iPhone and other iOS devices and computers. It will be the exact same so any changes will be reflected everywhere. When they are on your iPhone, there is an option to use a compressed version. Take a look at the FAQs page and let me know if you have any other questions before making this decision to turn this on. I would also make sure that you have a safe copy of your photos before moving forward.

  • How do I put photos in the cloud?

    I was wondering how to upload my photos to the cloud

    Go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account, and tap Photos in Settings>iCloud and turn on My Photo Stream.  After that, new photos added to your camera roll will automatically be added to your photo stream when your iPad is connected to wifi, has the camera app closed and has at least 20% battery life remaining.

  • How do i view photos in the cloud that i have deleted from my device?

    how do I view photos i have backed up in the cloud but have deleted from my phone?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you've deleted them from your phone, they may have been removed from your back up, if you have them in photo stream, you should recover them as quickly as possible.

  • How does one access data in the cloud from two different computers

    This isn't a problem but a question anticipating a possible problem.
    I have a MacBook Air running os X (version 10.8.2) and a desktop iMac runing 10.7
    I notice that when I create a PAGES document on the Macbook Air, it automatically saves to the cloud with a tef extension unless I force the file to save to the hard drive.  Data on the hard drive is backed up, of course.  But there are files saved to the cloud that are not saved to my external time machine drive.
    If I lost the drive on the MacBook Air, can I retrieve the files in the cloud?  I have the other computer, but I don't think that OS 10.7.x can access those cloud files and I've been told that the iMac can not be upgraded to 10.8
    Even if I could load 10.8 on the IMac--how would I get to those files if I am not on my personal MacBook Air?  What's the key to retrieving that data?  I've checked some of the manuals that I have and they very happily tell you how to save files to the cloud.  There's no discussion on what to do if things go wrong. 
    I know how I would retrieve my oracle data here at work if I was sitting at another terminal--what's the equivalent process if I was sitting at another mac machine?

    Documents saved via the applications in 10.8 can be accessed from iCloud.com on any computer providing you have a mobile iWork application.
    Whilst documents are saved to iCloud on your 10.8 Mac, they are also written locally and therefore backed up with something like Time Machine.
    if you did update your 10.7 Mac, things would merely become easier, you could access documents saved in (say) pages on one Mac in Pages on the other.

  • How to download just photos from the cloud

    How do I download just photos to my iPad 3 from the cloud? I can't do a straight cloud download because I have a corrupted app that caused my cellular to do work.

    YYou may have misunderstood my question. I had to have my iPad restored to factory setting as cellular would not work. Cellular did work then until the Genius used the cloud to reinstall everything. it was determined that an app had corrupted my iPad. So he had to do it again. i have been applying some apps but still need to get the photos that were on the iPad back on it again. I do not use the photo sync feature between devices for photos.

  • How do I download photos from the cloud to an Iphone 5c

    My wife's iphone 5 got destroyed and she got a replacement iphone 5c, and none of her photos are there, how do I go about trying to download them from the cloud.  These photos were only taken on her phone, and her itunes is on a PC not a Mac.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    "The cloud" just means "her account on a server somewhere." Since you're asking how to get her photos out of the cloud, the next question is, which cloud storage service was she backing up her photos to? Apple iCloud? Google Photos? Dropbox? Flickr?
    Once you know which service she was using, all that should be needed is to log into that account on her new phone. For iCloud, she would log in from the Settings app and then turn on the Photos switch; for non-Apple cloud photo backup she probably needs to download that service's app like the Google app or the Dropbox app. Once she is logged in to the service she was using, her photos should be accessible and downloadable.

    That's fine. With cloud services, the server is the central location and the device doesn't matter; any compatible device (Mac, PC, phone, tablet etc.) can upload or download files with the cloud server.

  • How do I Delete Photos from the Cloud?

    If I delete a picture in the new Photos app on my Mac is it then deleted from the cloud, too?   This is the behavior I would prefer.  
    I know that is not the case if I delete from my iPad, which makes sense because of it's limited storage capability.
    But I see my Mac as the master controller.  I get the feeling that even if I delete it from my Mac it is still in the cloud.
    Does anybody know?

    Well, I can answer my own question.       I did an experiment and deleted two pictures from Photos on my Mac and then I logged into the iCloud via Safari and checked to see if they had been deleted from the iCloud, too, and they had.   Hooray!

  • How do I access photos via the Media browser in iPhoto '08?

    I have used Pages several times before for an in-house newsletter--with good success. My last newsletter was done in the version of Pages contained in iWork '06 and with photos contained in iPhoto library from iLife '06. Now I am using the version of Pages from iWork '08 and photos from my iPhoto library in iLife '08. When I am in Pages and open the Media Browser, I can see all the photos in various Events. How do I select/choose a particular photo within an Event and drag it to an image placeholder in my Pages document?

    My Media Browser shows Events or Images. See below and see if yours is the same:
