You can access most of your content from all your devices. The following website will show you what iCloud can do for you: http://www.apple.com/icloud/
Have you already set up all your devices?

  • ONCE i made a photo project how do I access the original photos?

    once we make a photo project  how do I access the original photos?

    Do you mean to upload or use in another app or some such?
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • HT4759 I just got a new macbook pro and I would like to have all of my contacts from my iPhone 4s imported. I have iCloud turned on on both devices but the contacts are not importing what am I missing

    For some strange reason my contacts are not populating on my macbook from my iPhone. I have iCloud turned on on both devices and I have selected the contacts folder to be in the cloud but my macbook isn't populating the data.

    To copy your exchange account contacts to iCloud, do the following:
    Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
    Download the app My Contacts Backup.  (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer from our exchange account you will need the “Pro” version.  If you aren't sure, start with the free version.  When you use it, it will tell you if you need the paid version.)  Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone (from your exchange account) as a vCard attachment to an email that and send the email to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) and set this to iCloud.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars…tap your exchange account and turn off contacts syncing.*
    Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the exchange contacts back to your device, and to iCloud.  Go to icloud.com to confirm that the contacts are there.  If you ever want to "refresh" this with your current exchange contacts, you can reply to this conversation in the future and I can give you the steps to do so.
    * You could leave it turned on if you want to reference it occasionally.  If you do, just open contacts and tap Groups, then tap the exchange account so it is unchecked and tap Done.  That will hide them from view so you don't see duplicates.

  • HT4759 How do I access the cloud

    I downloaded a document from my email into Pages and everything I had in Pages is gone. How do I recover it?

    Login to www.icloud.com and check if you have anything in the cloud.
    If not there - try to figure out why it is gone and where is the last back up.

  • How do I access the cloud and moreover, why are my pictures not on my Itunes, even though they're backed up on the cloud?

    In trying to sync my Iphone 4, I noticed that none of my pictures are not my Itunes, even though they've been backed up on the Cloud.  My Itunes also states that I'm over my space by .4 GB although my phone says i still have 2.7 GB of space left.  I'd like to delete my pics off my phone, but not until I know they're backed up properly.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    photos taken on your iphone and show up in photostream on your ios device can be automatically downloaded to your computer.
    if you have a mac, the photos in photostream automatically download into your iphoto application
    http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html
    if you have a pc, the photos in photostream can automatically be downloaded into a folder called "photostream" in your photos folder on windows.
    http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html
    you no longer are required to ever hook up your ios device to your computer to extract photos again (you will have to if you want to get videos off of your iphone).  Simply connect your computer to the internet at least once a month, and all photostream photos will download into the proper place (outlined in the above links). 

  • I accidently deleted a convo with a important video on it and its not backed up into itunes and i have ICloud turned off how can i get that video back?

    I have deleted a conversation and it held a very important video,  I need to get that back i didnt download it into my photo album and i didnt back it up into my itunes and my ICloud is turned off because i had a problems with it. How can i get that video back?

    No way to recover it unless the other person didn't delete it on their end but the Perfect time to activate iCloud Drive and you won't ever need to worry. If you set it up correctly.

  • HT201272 how do i access the cloud i have downloaded some tracks on some albums but they dont play so i deleted them  i went to download them again but they are album only tracks so itunes store wont let me how can i get my tracks back? please help

    how do i get tracks back that i deleted that are album only tracks, i downloaded it and it would not play now i cant re download it please help

    About a minute and a half into some tracks it skips to the next. Not on all the tracks but on most of them.
    Try again, just redownloading the tracks which are skipping. (The servers for the Store seem to have been a bit extra-cranky with this over the past day or so in particular ... some folks have had to try redownloading again a couple of times.)

  • I have had to do a system recovery on my desktop computer.  In re-installing iTunes, I am told that I have two libraries.  How do I access the old one.

    I have had to do a system recovery on my desktop computer and it was 'wiped'.  iTunes had to be reinstalled.  However, I can't access my old library.  I am told that there are now two of them.  I need to get to the old one.

    I had to wipe my computer clean and I had backed up my I tunes on an external hard drive, but I also had all my music on my Ipod.  Now that I reinstalled Itunes, it can't locate all my music that I have on my ipod.  Did you find a way to do this?  Please help if you have a solution.
    Thanks

  • How do I access the cloud to manage what is there?

    HHow do I see what is on the Icloud.

    Howdy beejay20,
    As I undersand it you want to be able to look at what is taking up your iCloud storage. You can do that with the following article:
    Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support
    You can also log into your account at www.icloud.com and look at the content you have in there as well. 
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • How/where do I access the Cloud? (Also, how can I reformat files?)

    The Cloud appears to be working well for me, immediately replacing flawed or non-playing tracks/audio files/ tunes with perfect, matched files at 256 kbps.  However, I've encountered two apparent "roadblocks":
    1.  How can I access the Cloud directly to see if music that is NOT appearing in my iTunes program, or in my computer's library, is in the Cloud?  I have no doubt there are tunes stored in the Cloud that I'm unaware of.  When I go to iCloud from my computer, I see categories for only the following: Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Notes, Reminders, Find My iPhone, and iWork.  But I don't see any category/symblol/icon for iTunes.  Where is the music/iTunes cloud, and how do I get there?
    2.  I'm having difficulty uploading some files to Apple's or Amazon's clouds because they have wrong, or no, compression. Formerly, I recall that under "Preferences" in iTunes, the user was offered a variety of different formats and compression rations: AAC, MP3, Lossless, WAV, AIFF, etc. In the most recent version of iTunes I'm not seeing any provision for such reformatting.  Is it still possible to alter file compression within the iTunes program, or must I download an external program to change compression ratios of certain files?
    Thanks for any enlightenment re: either of the above questions.
    Cap

    I think I'm on to the 2nd question--i.e. the conversion of files.  It's a matter of clicking on "Import Settings" under the "General" category in iTunes "Preferences".
    The first question (above) continues to trouble me.  For example, there are a number of files in my iTunes program that show up as in the Cloud but are "shaded."  When I delete these files, moreover, I'm not greeted by a spanking new version from the Cloud.  They appear to have been deleted for good--unless there's some way to access the Cloud's contents.
    Some of the files are extended, personal files, recorded from an FM broadcast, lasting around 60 minutes.  So it makes sense that the iTunes Match function would not find corresponding files. However, they've been saved, and most of them are playable are playable from my iTunes program.  The shaded ones are not playable--and when I deleted them, there was no replacement.

  • I have the iCloud Photo Library (Beta) turned on. The photos from my iPhone do get uploaded to the iCloud. The photos are then downloaded to my wife's iPhone (we share the iCloud account). How do I keep the photos from downloading to my wife's iPhone

    I do not want all the photos from my iPhone downloading to my wife's iPhone from iCloud? We share an iCloud account. How can I prevent the download to my wife's iPhone from iCloud. .The "Upload to My Photo Stream" is turned off on my iPhone. . I am running 8.1.3. 
    I have a related question. In order to same space on my iPhone is there a way to upload the photos to the iCloud and then delete them from my iPhone.

    The way to keep the photos from downloading to your wife's phone would be for her to go to Settings > iCloud > Photos > and turn off iCloud Photo Library. If that isn't an option, the other option would be for her to have her own Apple ID ( and possibly explore the new family sharing options https://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/family-sharing/ )
    Regarding the "related question" see the quotes below from iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
    Deleting a photo or video from your Photos app will also remove the item from iCloud Photo Library and from your iCloud storage allocation. Photos and videos you remove can be recovered from the Recently Deleted album for 30 days. After 30 days, your content will be removed from the Recently Deleted album.
    If you want to reduce the space used by photos on your phone, rather than deleting them see the following:
    How does iCloud Photo Library save space on my device?
    If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your iOS device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. iCloud Photo Library stores the original, high-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and can keep lightweight, device-optimized versions on each of your devices. As long as you have enough storage, recent photos and videos that you access the most will stay on your device at full resolution.
    You can turn on Optimize [device] Storage from Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera > iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You need an Internet connection to access an original photo or video that’s stored only in iCloud.

  • I was looking at the "Find my iPhone" app and I have a doubt regarding how it works for the macbook. In order to detect the location, the macbook should remain signed into iCloud. What if the thief logs out of iCloud. Would we able to locate the macbook?

    I was looking at the "Find my iPhone" app and I have a doubt regarding how it works for the macbook. In order to detect the location, the macbook should remain signed into iCloud. What if the person who has stolen my macbook logs out of iCloud.
    It should work fine for iPhone/iPad because we can enable "Restrictions" to prevent the user from signing out of iCloud. Do we have simialr settings for the macbook?
    Thanks,

    If it's not on the device list, it indicates that someone has gone to Find My iPhone on icloud.com and manually deleted it from the device list (as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0eeddd), and it has not gone back online since (which would cause it to reappear on the device list; Find My iPhone has been turned of in settings on the device; the iClolud account has been deleted from the device; or the entire devices has been erased and restored.
    Unfortunately, there's no other way to track the phone other than through Find My iPhone.  You could call your carrier and see if they would blackliste it so at least the theif couldn't use it.
