HT204264 Do my photos still backup in my iCloud if I don't have my iCloud library beta on?

Do my photos still backup in my iCloud if I don't have my iCloud library beta on?

They are included in an iCloud backup if you don't have iCloud Photo Library turned on. See the following quote from the section of what is included in an iCloud backup from iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
Photos and videos on your iOS devices, unless you turn on iCloud Photo Library beta on your iOS 8.1 device. If you turn on iCloud Photo Library beta, your photos and videos are already stored in iCloud, so they aren’t included in your iCloud Backup.
Be aware that the contents of an iCloud backup are not viewable at iCloud.com and are only usable when doing a full restore to an iOS device or when transferring to a new iOS device. Because of that I also import my photos to a computer for safekeeping. Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support

  • TS3992 I recently dropped my ipad and had to get a new one.  I backed up the first I pad and used the icloud to reload all my data on my new ipad.  Now when I go to backup the new ipad it says I cannot because I don't have enough ICloud storage available.

    If you can't get the password correct, you CANNOT restore from that backup.
    However, if you've been using your phone as recommended by Apple, there should be minimal data loss.
    Your iTunes library is on your computer, so you can synch all your apps, music, movies, ringtones, etc, on to your new phone.
    Similarly, contacts should be synched to Address Book, Outlook, or a cloud service for you to easily synch back to your new phone.
    Pictures taken from your old phone and not synched to your computer are lost, but you would have been synching those photos to your computer frequently as recommended.  Other photos that you synch TO your iPhone are still on your computer.
    You won't be able to get text messages back.

  • My iPhone 5 is in recovery mode but i want to save my pictures and videos! is there any way i can do that? i have a back up from 2 days ago and i don't have my iCloud sync with my photos

    is there any way i can do that? i have a back up from 2 days ago and i don't have my iCloud sync with my photo

    When restoring from the backup, whatever is included with the backup from two days ago should be restored which includes photos/videos in the Camera Roll at the time of the backup along with all other data included with the backup at the time of the backup two days ago.

  • I have moved my iPhoto to an external hard drive. so now I have to have the external hard drive connected to my laptop to view the photos.  Now when I want to import photos into iPhoto from my media card, I don't have room to connect both devices.

    I have moved my iPhoto to an external hard drive. so now I have to have the external hard drive connected to my laptop to view the photos.  Now when I want to import photos into iPhoto from my media card, I don't have room to connect both devices at the same time as the usb ports are side by side.  How do I import my photos from the media card to the external hard drive now?

    First transfer the photos to a folder on your MacBook using Image Capture in your Utilities folder. Then move them to iPhoto.
    BTW, you might want to invest in a cheap USB hub.

  • HT1864 Can I still use iCloud if I don't have Vista or Windows 7?  I have XP.

    Can I still use iCloud if I don't have Vista or Windows 7?  I only have XP on my computer.

    Yes, using iCloud does not require installing anything on your computer.
    If you want to use the features of iCloud that do involve loading the iCloud Control Panel on the computer then you will need to either upgrade the OS on the computer or buy a new computer.

    Hi Maastricht2014,
    Until and unless you remember the password to your old email address, you will not be able to access the eBooks as those eBooks are only authorized with your old email address only.
    The only workaround or alternative to access your eBooks will be to contact the eBook vendor and ask them to migrate the eBook from your old email to the new one.
    Hope that Helps!

  • I updated my phone and it cleared everything on it and I don't have an icloud or itunes backup. Please help I need to get my pictures and information back

    I updated my phone and it cleared everything on it and I don't have an icloud or itunes backup. Please help I need to get my pictures and information back

    Sorry, but without a backup in iCloud or iTunes on your computer, your data is gone and can't be restored anymore.

  • I can't download anymore TV from itunes, says i don't have enough icloud storage. My storage says i have 5GB to use and 4.6GB are still free

    I can't download anymore TV from itunes, says i don't have enough icloud storage. My storage says i have 5GB to use and 4.6GB are still free

    The message shouldn't have anything to do with iCloud storage. You need the free space on the iPad itself, not in iCloud. You have to free up space on the iPad by deleting content. You can delete any movies, videos, apps, or whatever you want to delete in Settings>General>Usage>Storage.

  • My iphone 5 is 32GB and I keep it backed up in icloud. A recent message suggested that I don't have enough icloud space so I have deleted all back up - it still says no icloud space - help!!! I am not a techy person and this is driving me mad!! :(

    Please can somebody help ....My iphone said not enough icloud space available, so I have delete all back ups and checked what apps are linked to my back up and it is only my photos. Since deleting all current back ups I have tried to back up  again and it still says not enough space when I have 5GB/ 5GB available.
    Can anybody help please? I'd be really greatful as this is driving me mad... why can't things just be simple x

    The problem could be that you don't have enough storage on the device itself, not on iCloud.  Go to Settings>General>Usage to see how much "Storage" you have available on the device.  Farther down the list is the available storage on iCloud.
    Also check:
    Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage; there, tap the device you need info on and the resulting screen lists Backup Options with which apps store data on iCloud as well.  Tap Show All Apps to get the complete list of apps and MB used for backup storage.
    A device needs many MB of storage in order to perform a backup to iCloud.

  • I want to use this thing as just a backup device for windows computers but don't have a Mac - can I use this in that way ? I am not interested in using the wireless portion jut wired ethernet.

    I have multiple iOS devices and a couple of Windows XP Professional PCs, but I want to get a Time Capsule to use just to backup the Windows PCs now.
    In the future I want to get a Mac and get rid of the windows PCs and then I will use Time Machine. I just want to know if I can use the Time Capsule now for wired backups ??? I plan on using Norton Ghost and don't need Time Machine nor do I have a Mac to use it. Should I forget this idea ? I plan on buying a Mac in the future and use this drive in the regular Apple manner. Please help !

    The format of the disk is a Mac format. but that is irrelevant in a NAS device, as long as it offers SMB.. ie windows file network format.. you don't have to worry in the least how the files are stored on the drive.
    But you cannot partition a TC.. it is as it is..
    I have some iOS devices in addition including an AppleTV. Could this TC serve them as well as the Windows XP Pro PCs without having a Mac in my inventory ? (No time Machine.)
    What are you expecting to serve to the iOS devices.. they are completely dumb.. they don't even know what the file system is without an APP.. and there is no Apple Format apps only SMB.. which is kind of interesting.
    They are designed to work with iTunes.. but the TC is not an iTunes server strangely as lots of non-Apple products manage to make their NAS into ITunes servers. You can place the iTunes library on the TC but we don't recommend it due to the TC having no automated way to back itself up.. again unlike every other NAS out there. You can manually backup the TC via the USB.. it is slow and can only backup the whole disk.. even if you backed up the whole disk yesterday.. it has no ability to do incremental rsync or any other intelligent backup.

  • Photos taking up space on IPhone when I don't have any photos

    I deleted all the photos off my IPhone 4s and put them on my iphoto to clear up some space. However, under my 'Usage' it says my photos are taking up 114mb (77mb for my camera roll and 35 for my photo library), but I don't have any photos on my phone at all and I also don't have my photo stream or cloud sharing. Why is it saying it's taking up space? And what can I do to clear this 114mb?

    Are you using iCloud photo library beta.
    Are any of your photos actually video.

  • How do I delete downloaded photo albums from my iPhone 4 if I don't have the original computer?

    My old computer crashed causing me to lose everything. I have a photo album on my iPhone that I would like to get rid of but i can't seem to figure out how to on my new computer. Is it possible to get rid of that album without factory resetting my phone and losing everything?

    Try this (not 100% sure it will work, though.)
    Transfer all your photos from the device to your computer:
    Then, do an iCloud or iTunes backup.
    Erase all content & settings.
    Restore from the backup.

  • My iPhones gives me a message that I don't have enough storage to backup.  When I attempt to manage my storage it shows 1 backup for the phone I use and it's 5GB.  I have transferred all my photos to my computer hoping it would create storage but no good.

    My iPHone tells me I don't have enough iCLoud storage.  When I manage my storage from Settings it shows 1 backup for my primary phone and it's 5GB.  I understand that is what Apple provides for free and I could upgrade but I don't want to upgrade.  I have transferred most all my photos to the computer and I have no music on my device.  And this was several weeks ago and I have attempted to backup since hoping it would create a new backup but no good.
    I have even went in the backup and turned off Camera Roll since it's the largest but still no good.
    If you have any suggestions other than upgrade your storage plan please help.
    Thanks

    Try deleting the old backup.
    Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the device name and on the resulting screen, scroll down and tap on Delete Backup.
