HT204570 Upload all my photos to iCloud through Photos app.

I always kept my photos in folders instead of the iPhoto library (except for a few hundreds), if I want to upload them all to iCloud, do I have to import them all to (new) Photos app? Will the files be duplicated?
I won't sync those photos between all my Apple devices. I just wanna have a backup of them. I even bought more iCloud space already.
Or is there another way to make an iCloud backup of just photos from my Macbook?
Should I delete iPhoto app?

No. If you delete them from your device, they will also be deleted from iCloud. Back up your photos to your computer as explained here: Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC, then you can delete any photos you no longer want to keep on your device. If you want them on your device later, sync them back using iTunes.

TS4403 I uploaded all my photos to icloud but why is the folder empty on other computers?

I am new to iCloud. I added my photos to my iCloud from my laptop but when I added iCloud to my desktop there was nothing in the photo stream. how do I find te photos and use them from my PC?

iCloud is not a photo storage service, so you cannot upload "all" your photos.
iCloud's Photostream feature is a temporary storage service which is for wirelessly transferring photos taken on one iOS device to other iOS devices and back to your computer for permanent storage.
Photostream only stores a maximum of 1000 photos for a maximum of 30 days. This is to give you enough time to download the photos for storing permanently.

I have Photoshop Elements 10. How do I upload all my photos and albums to Adobe Revel?

I have Photoshop Elements 10. How do I upload all my photos and albums to Adobe Revel?

Elements 10 does not have a direct interface with Revel. You can upload from your computer to revel via adoberevel.com, via the revel app if you use Win8 or Mac, or via an upgrade to Elements 11 or 12. (Elements 11 has upload/download ability, Elements 12 has mobile albums that stay in sync)

Hello there inkystephens,
It sounds like you are needing to sync your iCloud contacts that came from Outlook in the first place back to Outlook. The Outlook section of the following article should help you do that:

HT1414 I updated the version on my Iphone and didn't sync before and lost all my photos, apps, contacts before. Is there any way to recover the deleted photos deleted ?

I updated the version on my Iphone and didn't sync before ans as a result I lost all my photos, apps, and contacts. I will like to recover the deleted photos as they are very important to me, it's there a way to recover them?

did you ever do a backup. cause if you did say like a year ago. it should still be there and you could at least get the info back until that date.

Hi peeps, I recently had my iPad Air replaced and it automatically uploaded all my photos back from iCloud on to my iPad, taking up an enormous amount of storage. How can I delete them from my iPad, but keep them on my desktop?

Hi peeps, how do I delete all my photos from my iPad once they have been saved to my desktop, as they are clogging up my storage?

I am not able to upload all the contacts into icloud and get into my new iphone 6

Hi I am trying to sync all the contacts in my old iphone 4 to iclud.
and so not able to sync only my contacts i think i got all my photos synced.
can any help me in that.

Hi Kinnera2740,
On the old phone go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Are there any email accounts listed here? Such as Google, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc?
If so, tap on each of them and check the 'Contacts' option. If it is turned on, this means that contact syncing is enabled for that account and that your contacts may already be synced to that mail account.
Also check Settings > iCloud and look for the 'Contacts' option. Is it enabled? If so, then it is possible that some contacts could be synced to your iCloud account as well. You can check to see which contacts are in which account by going to the Contacts app on your old phone and pressing the 'Groups' button in the top left corner. You may see several groups here. Uncheck all groups and then check each group one at a time to check and see how many contacts are synced to each account. You may need to add the same mail accounts to your new phone and enable contact syncing to have the contacts from the mail servers sync down to the new phone.

Cant upload all my photos onto my mac

i have a bold 9900 and i use a mac os x desktop . i try to upload all my picture using desktop manager but it will only upload s few pictures not all of them . i have a feeling that it doeasnt recognize them a pictures because when i go into my finder i have all the pages with the top corner folded that are blank and they say photo.12345.ipmeta under them, what should i do? i dont want to lose them if i lose my phone

Copy them to the IMAGES folder. Then open the photos application and wait for them to be found. Depending on the number of pictures it could take several minutes for the phone to find and create thumbnails for a large number of pictures.
Also try to put less than 1000 pictures per folder. So create subfolders in Images,
In general these devices are not meant to be carrying large quantities of photos. The software to manage the photos (Photos) is not very clever sometimes when you have large numbers of pictures. So I wouldn't recommend it. But try and share your results.
I would upload the pictures to a service and then use the N97 to access the service (like Flickr, Picassa, OVI Photos, Photobucket, etc.)

No photo titles AT ALL in Photos app shared albums

Is there some hidden setting to turn on the photo titles?

Until Photos called Titles 'titles', anyone I ever spoke to called the filename the title. My mistake in not understanding that Photos ignores the photo filename entirely and 'titles' all the photos as 'Untitled' in fuzzy light grey text, only visible when hovering over the offending item, and not permanently in a useful way.
The filenames are useless in the get info window. If you deliberately or accidentally scroll the thumbnail browser, the get info panel is entirely independent of the app interface and you have absolutely no idea to which image the get info refers to. It's terrible design.
I just want to see the filename under the photo. It's not much to ask. I can't actually see the point of the app, it's like a crappy, feature limited bad imitation of iPhoto - an Apple app that already does everything Photos does, but much better.

I cant log into my iCloud through windows app. I cant see backed up photos through the online iCloud

When I try to login to iCloud though the windows app I just get the spinning login wait icon and nothing happens. It will stay like this all day.
Here is the screen I get:
I can login to my iCloud online but it doesn't show my backed up pictures from my iPhone and iPad which should be there and which it is saying it is backing up.
I have tried re-installing and also changing my password through Forgot apple ID or password?
Can anyone help with this? I have full permissions on my machine and admin rights
Thanks

You can't see your iCloud backup on icloud.com. You can only access the backup by restoring it to your iPad.
You can import your camera roll photos to a computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083, then transfer them to a USB memory stick if that's what you're asking. You can also upload them to another cloud service so they are backed up, such as Dropbox. (If you open a free dropbox account, you can use the free dropbox app to automatically upload your photos to your account.)

My iphone 5 doesnt upload my photos when I plug it in to my imac like it did with my iphone 4, how do I get it to upload all my photos?

If I back up my iPod Touch using iCloud and then restore it, will I be able to get back all my photos, app data, etc?

About 5 months ago I was clearing up space on my PC. I had moved music that was in my music folder onto a USB and I thought that I could do the same with my iTunes Library folder onto my USB. But it wouldn't fit, so I moved it back. But when I went to back up my iPod it didn't recognize it anymore. I haven't been able to restore it anymore. Just until now I'm trying to see if I could back-up my data & photos to iClod and then Restore it, but I'm just a little unsure. Can anybody just reasure me that this will OR will not work.

I don't really think that you need to restore your device in order to sync it again with iTunes. I suspect all that you need to do is connect the device to iTunes and then accept it as a new device and choose the option to start syncing with that library.
Of course, it would be a good idea to back up to iCloud before you did this.

Upload all my photos to N97

I'm not having any luck copying all my old N80, N95 photos to my N97 and having the show up on the phone. They were all saved on my PC and MAC, now that it has a bunch of memory I want to keep them on the phone and not delete them.
How can I copy my old photos to my N97 and have them show up in the PHOTOS applicaiton?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Copy them to the IMAGES folder. Then open the photos application and wait for them to be found. Depending on the number of pictures it could take several minutes for the phone to find and create thumbnails for a large number of pictures.

How can I check whether I have uploaded all my photos?

I have uploaded my photos in several sessions. How can I ensure easily that all photos including those in sub-directories of my main photo folder have been uploaded? i use revel on the Mac.

One easy way: reset after importing (which can be done from library module - e.g. main menu, context menu, quick-develop...). If you can't even get that far, consider using exiftool to strip the xmp from DNGs and/or jpegs, or just delete xmp sidecar file in case of proprietary raw.

I keep getting errors when iTunes uploads newly-imported music to iCloud through iTunes Match. Is there something that needs to be corrected when importing my music?

Here is the what the message window says when I click on the iCloud symbol with an exclamation point:
"This item was not added to iCloud because an error occurred."
It happens erratically. I thought it was my computer at home (a PC), so I tried importing the music on my work computer (an iMac).
It happens on both, and the same songs. Sometimes it's up to half of the songs on a CD.
I can't figure out why it's doing this.

Sounds like your library database may be being corrupted. With iTunes 11 an "empty" library will show the previous purchases of the account that is currently signed in. To prevent this go to iTunes Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. Have you actually checked the hard drive to see if the media is still present? Chances are you need to restore an older library file in the way set out below...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
The images are from Windows XP, but the principle is the same. Depending on the age of you library the library file may not include the .itl extension.
