  • HT4847 Turning off camera roll iCloud backup on my phone will not delete any pictures already on my computer will it?

    Just wondering if turning of the camera roll iCloud backup on my phone will affect any photos on my iPhoto on my MacBook? Thanks in advance

    No.

  • What will happen to the photos on my iPhone 5 if I turn off Camera Roll under Manage Storage/This Phone?

    I only have 238 mb of Cloud storage left for my phone.  When I checked what is using all of my space, I saw that 4.2GB of space is used by Camera Roll.  All of the Camera Roll pictures are in iPhoto on my Mac Book Pro and most are also archived on an external drive.  Will they disappear from my phone and/or computer if I uncheck the Camera Roll for back ups?  What happens if I do that and turn it back on a week from now?

    They will not be erased from your phone, they will only not be included in the iCould backup anymore.
    If you take many photos and videos with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you might notice that they take up most of your iCloud storage. To check the size of the backup on your device in iOS 8 or later, tap Settings > iCloud > Storage > Manage Storage. (If you're using an earlier version of iOS, tap Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage.) Then tap the name of your iOS device. The backup size is under Photo Library.
    To reduce the size of your Photo Library backup, save your photos and videos to your computer, then manually back up your iOS device. If you want to keep your photos and videos on your iOS device, you can turn off Photo Library in Backup using the steps above or purchase more storage. If there are any photos that you don't want to keep, you can delete them. Just open photos and select the item you want to delete. Then click the Trash icon and tap Delete Photo.

  • HT4859 When I turn camera roll backup to OFF, and those same photos are on my other devices, will they remain on them, even though icloud will delete them from storage?

    When I turn camera roll backup to OFF, and those same photos are on my other devices, will they remain on them?  I know they will not be on icloud storage,
    but will I still have them on my devices?

    Deleting the icloud backup totally is pretty scary.  If my phone accidentally went swimming, I wouldn't be able to restore all the data with icloud.  I was trying to find a way to delete only old backups (which you say do not exist), or if I could just delete the photos from the backup.  I guess I could delete the icloud backup, switch off the camera roll from backing up, and then do an immediate backup of everything else.  What do you think?
    I am not a good apple person.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Can I turn off Macbook while Time Capsule is archiving Time Machine backup to a USB drive?

    My Time Capsule is archiving my Time Machine backup to a USB drive attached to it. I have initiated this process on my macbook (on the same lan with the Time Capsule), on which I am monitoring the archiving progress on the Airport Utility. Still almost a couple of days to go... Can I turn off my Macbook, or will that interrupt the process of archiving?

    If LaPastenague is willing to do a "test", then we will all know more.
    Opened my big mouth.
    The archive is happening.. I turned off the computer it was setup from.. running Mavericks and latest utility once I got it started. I have been checking from v6 utility on Mountain Lion.. and it is excruciatingly slow. But is running.
    I can check the progress but v6 utility is utterly and completely useless.. it continually shows the same numbers.
    v5 utility does show it is crawling along.
    v6
    20min later..
    Look, look, there is a tiny blue fleck in the progress bar!!
    v5 utility shows the actual progress. Actually tells you total and amount backed up so far.
    Amazing how advanced v5 utility is over v6.
    The estimate of 10hours is probably correct at the present rate of progress. I suppose for 500GB, around 50GB/hr is about what we expect from TM backups etc.
    I will post another picture in an hour and probably kill it then before I die of watching paint dry.

    Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

    You cannot see photos backed up in iCloud on your computer.
    Camera Roll photos backed up to iCloud are still in your Camera Roll on your iPhone.
    You need to regularly sync the photos to your computer. (then you can see them on your computer).
    -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
    then delete them from your Camera Roll.
    You can sync the photos you want on your iPhone back to your iPhone using iTunes.

  • TS3992 Turn off photo library backup in iCloud

    I used to be able to turn off backing up my iPad photo library to iCloud in iOS 7. It's now missing in iOS 8. The only option now is to turn my camera roll on and off. My iPads backup size had gone from 200 MB to 6 GB. Has anyone else noticed this?
    Thanks!

    I checked the FAQ and it doesn't answer my question. Before I turn on the iPhoto library beta I had 40gb about 30gb of that are photos and videos and 10gb were iphone data backup. I Have the 200gb plan, before and during iphone library ON my storage says 160gb available. Now that it's off my iCloud storage says 190gb available. it's been off for the past 5 days and it still shows 190gb available. My iPhone is backed up daily so it doesn't seem like its backing up my photos at all.

  • How can I turn off the 3g in iOS8 ?

    I loaded iOS 8 on my iphone 5S today but I can not turn off the 3G. My phone is located in Turkey. Turning off the 3G is very important for me because in our country 3g does not work so clearly. I know if there are any problem in 3g, it's change to Edge automaticly by the iOS8 but also 3G affect my battery life negatively. Therefore can you help us to turn off the 3G which is extremly important for the users who live in Turkey. Thank you for your attention. 

    I agree. It's either lack of intelligence or over confidence that Apple has totally messed up a beautiful product like iPhone. iOS 7 worked amazing; no glitches, no problems, everything seemed fine - and one fine day, we were made to switch to the "worst iOS ever"! iOS 8 comes with a whole lot of glitches, and I am seriously fed up of my iPhone now. I don't feel like using it most of the times.
    No option to disable 3G
    Wi-fi connectivity is extremely poor
    ALL the apps crash after a few minutes
    Camera Roll disappeared for NO REASON
    A big.....huge thumbs down! Sorry.

  • How can i turn off the iCloud account.

    How can I turn off my ICloud account?

    Go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account and provide the password when prompted.
    If you want to keep photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account.  If you want to save synced notes, open them and email them to yourself.  You will be given an option to either keep or delete the rest of your iCloud data from your device when you delete the account.

  • I have deleted hundreds of pictures, I've deleted apps, deleted emails and texts, and I've turned off and deleted backups of apps on icloud and it is still telling me that there is not enough icloud storage available for my phone to be back

    I have deleted hundreds of pictures, I've deleted apps, deleted emails and texts, and I've turned off and deleted backups of apps on icloud and it is still telling me that there is not enough icloud storage available for my phone to be backed up. I am supposed to do this before I go to the Apple store today to get my phone fixed. Can someone please help me? I have done almost everything.

    This article explains ways to reduce your iCloud storage: Managing your iCloud storage.  In addition to what's mentioned in the article, if you have lots of photos and videos attached to your text messages, these are all included in your iCloud backup and deleting them can sometimes significantly reduce the size of your backup.
    If worse comes to worse, back up your phone to your computer rather than iCloud.  To do this, connect it to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Back Up and to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  This can be used to restore your data when you get your phone back.  (In fact, it's faster because you don't have to download the data from iCloud.)

  • How can I turn off other languages on my ipad running ios7?  It has Japanese or Chinese and the international keyboard is set to English.  Thank you.

    How can I turn off other languages on my ipad the next generation running ios7?  I have the international language set to English but it's showing a foreign language and sometimes it shows the foreign language with English.  Thank you.

    The complete backup and restore procedure is explained in the link above.
    If you don't want to do a restore, then your iPad may remain in the unstable state you have for the moment.
    You can change the country in the App Store. Have a look at the bottom of the App Store screen, you can change the country and also do the permanent change via Manage > Account.
    You can change the language in iTunes via General Preferences > under General tab.
