HT4847 iCloud and deleting iPhone photos quetion

When you take phones on your iphone and back up to the icloud, if you delete the photos on your iphone, will the photos still be in the icloud for use later?

The backup should contain your camera roll photos but the only way you could later access the photos would be to restore your phone to the entire backup.  Also, it's not always reliable.
To be sure you photos are backed up, regularly import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

  • After putting my photos on icloud and deleting them off my camera roll to save storage, they were all gone off of icloud the next morning. This was before we could recover them with ios8. HELP.

    I went to the One Direction concert August 19, 2014. I took several videos and pictures on my phone and wanted to save storage since my phone is only 16 GB, so right after the concert I put the images and videos on iCloud and deleted them off my camera roll. The next morning I woke up to look at them on my iCloud and every single video and picture was gone. GONE. This was before iOS8 let you recover deleted photos. As a desperate fangirl, please help me out. I've spent months in stress and utter sadness due to this. I want to know how to get my precious pictures and videos back.

    I did it on my phone; I shared them to iCloud on my iPhone and then deleted them off of my camera roll, because I knew they would be stored on my iCloud. But, as you see, the next morning they were gone. :(((((((((((

  • I updated the version to my i phone 4 and deleted my photos and contacts...is there a way to get them back...i am not sure i backed up the data

    i updated the version to my i phone 4 and deleted my photos and contacts...is there a way to get them back...i am not sure i backed up the data

    Contacts are synced with a compatible programme on your computer (Outlook, Windows Contacts, Address book etc) or with a cloud service (iCLoud, Google, Yahoo). Sync your contacts back from wherever you were making the backup of them. If you have not been backing them anywhere, then they are most likely gone.
    If you updated the iOS through iTunes and assuming that your photos were present at the time of update and you deleted the photos afterwards; you may try restoring the iPhone from the last backup, provided that you had not synced your iPhone after deleting the photos.

  • I turned on icloud and all my photos from my mac iphoto are gone.  Where did they go and how to get them back in iPhoto

    All of my photos are missing from Iphoto on my mac.  I have turned on icloud however my iphone photos are not on my ipad or imac either.  Help.

    Do you still see your photos, when you launch iPhoto and not Photos?
    Where did you keep your iPhoto Library? In your Pictures folder, as is the default? Or on an external drive?
    Look in the folder with your iPhoto Library.
    You should be seeing two libraries, if you already let Photos upgrade the iPhoto Library:
    Your iPhoto Library, now called .migratedphotolibrary
    and the new Photos library:
    are the libraries there? and how large are they?

  • Can I go to iCloud and see my photos

    can I go to iCloud and see my photos and if so, how do I do it on an iMac?

    No.  The online iCloud does not include the Photo Share feature of iCloud.  You'll need to do it from a Mac that is running 10.7.5 or later and iPhoto 9.2.2 or later. 
    This Apple documents shows the requirements: iCloud: System requirements.
    In iPhoto set the iCloud sharing preference to the following
    and then you'll be able to view the photos in the Photo Stream taken by your iPhone or iPad and import them into your iPhoto library for permanent storage.

  • Organizing and deleting Duplicate Photos in iPhoto library?

    Can I easily organize and delete duplicate photos in my iPhoto library?

    These applications will identify and help remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
    iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
    PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
    Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported the library.
    DeCloner - $19.95 - can find duplicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
    DupliFinder - $7 - shows which events the photos are in.
    iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - Free
    PhotoDedupo - $4.99 (App Store) -  this app has a "similar" search feature which is like PhotoSweeper's bitmap comparison.  It found all duplicates
    Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free - was able to recognize the duplicated HDR and normal files from an iPhone shooting in HDR
    Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: iphoto has duplicated many photos, how...: Apple Support Communities.
    If you have an iPhone and have it set to keep the normal photo when shooting HDR photos the two image files that are created will be duplicates in a manner of speaking (same image) but there are only twp apps that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates:  PhotoSweeper and Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto.  None of the other apps detected those two files as being duplicates as they look for file name as well as other attributes and the two files from the iPhone have different file names.
    iPLM, however, is the best all around iPhoto utility as it can do so much more than just find duplicates.  IMO it's a must have tool if using iPhoto.

    How do I re-download videos which have been uploaded onto iCloud and deleted from my device?

    Hi yvrtoakl,
    I'm sorry, I'm a bit unclear on what you mean by "uploaded onto iCloud". If you are referring to videos synced to iCloud using the new iCloud Photo Library feature, you may find the following article helpful:
    iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
    On the other hand, if you are talking about video files that have been stored on iCloud using iCloud Drive, then this article may be of more use:

  • Is there a way to automatically detect and delete duplicate photos in a library

    I just imported a load of photos into my main iPhoto '11 Library from several older MAC's Photo Libraries. Despite repeatedly using the "Don't Import Duplicate Photos" dialogue box, I have many duplicate photos. Is there a way to automatically detect and delete Duplicate Photos?
    I also have iPhoto Library Manager installed on my MAC, but cannot seem to locate on it anything that would do this.
    I have over 4,000 photos, so would really appreciate some help here! Thanks in advance...

    duplicate annihilator - http://www.brattoo.com/propaganda/
    And NEVER import an iPhoto library into another iPhoto library - doing so des not work and creates massive duplication
    if you still have all of the original iPhoto libraries I recommend you drag the bad one you created to the desktop (delete it later when everythin has successfully been completed) and start over usin iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  to merge the libraries

  • How can I identify and delete duplicate photos

    is there a way to identify and delete duplicate photo's in I photo?

    No one is suggesting that you download third party "crap". What was suggested is that you download a well established and supported 3rd party application. As to why there isn't a "'delete your stupid duplicate photo' option", you'll need to ask Apple that. Apple aren't here. This forum is for Users to help other Users. As to why you import stupid photos, you'll need to ask yourself.

  • How to find and delete duplicate photos in photo app

    how to find and delete duplicate photos in photo app

    Photos has no built-in tools to screen the library for duplicates. It relies on the warning on import, that should prevent you from importing duplicates.
    Once duplicate shave been imported, delete them manually, or use third-party tools.
    For example, these new apps claim to work with Photos:
    Power photos:  Fat Cat Software
    Duplicate annihilator: Brattoo Propaganda Software - Products
