HT4890 how do i backup my photos to the cloud?

I just want to back up my photos so that I can free up some memory on my phone.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can't back up photos with iCloud. Photo Stream is only for sync photos between all your devices, so you can't use it to store your photos

    How do I retrieve my photos from the cloud after a reset. My photos are gone from my phone, and I backed them up on iCloud? when I restored it, no camera roll pictures?

    Try restoring the backup again.  Sometimes it's successful the second time.  You could also try restoring an older backup.  iCloud will have your last 3 backups is you have sufficient storage space in your account.

  • How do I backup my documents to the cloud?

    How do I backup my documents to the cloud?

    Just to expand on what Rysz said, iCloud - at this time - excels at letting you sync certain data between your Apple devices. If you have more than one Apple device (computer, iPhone, iPad, etc) then your calendar events from one device show up on another. The bookmarks in your browser can be the same on all devices - add a bookmark on your computer and it will be added to your iPad. Contact information, notes, reminders, etc can all be shared. If you have an iOS device iCloud can be used to back up important information - not the entire phone or iPad but your settings and configurations. Due to Apple’s initial iOS design iCloud doesn’t do a great job as a repository of data like word processing documents and it isn’t for backing up your computer data.
    If you want to back up your computer - and you really should - invest in a good external drive (or two) and use a backup program. Apple’s TimeMachine is a good first start but it is always good to have a second backup and many of us like having a backup that can be booted into. This is a clone and two good cloning programs are CarbonCopyCloner and SuperDuper! A clone is a backup that you can immediately boot your computer with - TimeMachine’s backup cannot do that.

    Help with downloading items in the cloud to my iPad.

    Hi Dwight,
    You cannot selectively download photos from iCloud. Your iCloud account houses backups of your device, which includes backups of not only photos, but also messages, mail, notes, data, etc.
    What is it that you are needing to do exactly?

  • How do I backup my music in the cloud to my mac

    How do I back up my music from the cloud to my mac?

    One of the key steps that you'll need to take is (after signing into the iTunes Store) open the Preferences & choose the "Store tab".
    You'll then be able to make sure that the "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases" is selected.
    After that, you go to your Library - where you need to select "Music" - be it your songs or your albums. At this point you may see an iCloud icon right next to the selector - or not; if you don't see it, then you'll need to select "View" from the iTunes menu bar. You will then see on the drop down menu list either "Show Music in the Cloud" or "Hide Music in the Cloud"; that's your toggle which you use to unveil your Music in the Cloud icon.
    Now there is just one more preference that you may need to use to see all of your iCloud icons and that is also found right under "View"; it's "Show View Options" where you may need to check the box labeled "iCloud Download" from among the various "View Options".
    So now that all of your preferences are set, you can plainly see which songs that are in the Cloud (the ones with the Cloud icon right next to the song or right on the album).....or if there is no Cloud icon then it's already in your library or has been downloaded into your Library. To download a song or album just click on the Cloud icon & it begins to download into your library.
    So now you can choose which songs &/or albums you wish to download or re-download - depending how you wish to manage your iTunes library - which I won't go into here as there are so many options in addition to what we've gone over.
    I hope that I've been able to help as there are so many preferences & options, indeed.
    Enjoy

  • How can I find a photo from the backup file in my pc?

    How can I find a photo from the backup file in my pc?
    I have accidentally erased a photo. It happened after the backup.

    I am not aware you can extract a single photo or a single app's content from the backup, you can either restore the whole backup to your phone or not restore. If you restore your last backup to your phone then any content that is currently on your phone will be replaced with what was on it at the time that the backup was made - so if you do decide to restore, first copy off any purchases to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases, and copy any documents/files that you've udpated on the phone since the backup.

    Connect your phone to computer and go to My computer and you'll see your phone displayed like a drive. Open it and you'll see your pics there. You can copy it and put it in a local folder.

  • HT201302 How do I backup my photos on my iphone after I updated my software?

    How do I backup my photos on my iphone after I updated my software? It is asking me to restore my iphone but I need to back it up first.

    After? If you're being asked to restore you phone, and you didn't previously back it up, it's too late now. You can't back it up once it's in recovery mode.

  • HT201302 The only piece of technology my father-in-law has is an iPad, how does he backup his photos and contacts?

    The first and only piece of technology my father-in-law has ever owned is an iPad; how can he backup his photos and contacts in the event something happens to his iPad and needs to be replaced?  He does not own a computer, just the iPad.  Is any of this content in iCloud or iTunes or can be backed up there?  Maybe an external device? 

    He should use iCloud. If he sets up an iCloud account, he will get 5GB of free storage which purchased content from the App Store and iTunes does not count against. His contacts and photos will count against the 5GB of storage but if he needs more space, it can be purchased at any time.
    Many users have gone PC free and totally rely on iCloud now. It is very easy to setup on the iPad. Just tap on iCloud in the settings and follow the prompts. Read all of thses for more information.
