HT4906 will my photos stay in iPhoto on my computer if I back them up to iCloud?

if i back up my photos from iPhoto to iCloud, will they still remain on my machine within iPhoto?

iCloud is not a backup - it is for sharing and syncing
Photos that have been imported to iPhoto are only deleted when you delete then in iPhoto
I am not at all clear on what you want to do or what you are concerned about

I want to delete aperture to create some space, will my photos remain in iPhoto?
Deleting Aperture will not create much free space, it is just one GB.
But you can open any Aperture library in iPhoto, if the versions are compatible. To open an Aperture 3.5.1 library you need iPhoto 9.5.1.
Before you delete Aperture make sure, that you have no photos rejected in Aperture. iPhoto will not be able to reveal any Aperture rejected photos, just as Aperture cannot reveal any photos that have been hidden in iPhoto.

I can't email a photo directly from iPhoto. First, I only have two "themes" to choose from instead of 8, and when prompted to fill in the "to" and "from", the "from" box has "MobileMe" already in it, and I can't get rid of or change it. I have OSXLion

I understand, as that was the place I would change it before 8.3 but now that option of Mail Days to Sync is not available? Any idea why that would be?

HT4859 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?

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.

Welcome to the Apple community cmruckie.
Have you restored from the back up.

If I delete my whole "Iphoto Library" folder in finder will my photos in the iphoto app itself also be deleted?

Just trying to get some more space on my macbook, and for general knowledge, what will happen to my iphoto application if i completely delete the "iphoto library" in finder?

There are no photos in the iPhoto application. All photos by default are in the iPhoto library
If you delete the iPhoto library then they are deleted
Probably the solution is the run your iPhoto library on an external drive

I cannot find my photo's on iphoto's and I did not delete them where could they be?

I was transferring photo's from a camera to my Mac and now I cannot find any of my photo's that were in my Iphoto's libary, I did not delete them, where else could they be? Or can they be recovered if they have been trashed?

First, don't try to find and reimport or move photos via the My Photos search in the left hand pane of a Finder window. That's a sure way to further damage a library.
Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Do photos saved on iPhoto use up computer memory?

Do the photos I have saved in iPhoto and MyPhotoStream use up the memory on my macbook or are they all just saved online? I'm wondering because I want to delete photos on my other iOS devices after syncing all of them onto just my macbook. But I won't do this if placing all my photos on my macbook will use up computer memory.

A few things
1 - terms - memory and disk storage are different things - no photos take up memory - sme take up disk storage - and you must always have a min of 10GB of free disk storage for the system to operate well
2- All photos saved in iPhoto use disk space - BUT MyPhotoStream photos are not saved in iPhoto unless you choose to do so - that is set in the iPhoto preferences - if you do not want to save photos on your Mac then turn of the preference to automatically import them - it you wan them saved on your Mac turn that option on and they will be imported and take disk space
3 - if you do not import the photos into iPhoto (which uses disk space) then when you delete them from any IOS device they will be gone form all devices

All my photos are gone even though i backed them up to icloud??

hi,
i am no apple genius so i need help...
i had a iPhone 4s worked fine. downloaded ios6, completely corrupted it kept crashing etc, took it to the apple shop he gave me a new iphone but with ios5.1.1 and "set it up" with it putting all my pictures back, simple pimple.
okay so my problem is in the shop my photo stream on the new iphone was updating with all the pictures i recently took (picture 94 of 1294), it was taking its time so i left the shop, however i'm now at home and that's exactly where it stopped. on picture 94. i have 1294 pictures. where are they? logged in to icloud.com, cant find them there. i have no mac or ipad or nothing just my iphone. so its not like there anywhere else, i then tried to reset the phone and back up from icloud (after googling) but still.....nothing, same 94 pictures.
how do i get the rest of my pictures (from old iphone) back and on my new iphone? do i need to download ios6 again? then will all my pictures come back? b4 i gave him my old phone my pictures were all on that photo stream, but they haven't come on to this new one why not?
if anyone can help me i'll be truly grateful, i just had a baby and all her new born pic's where on there

Photo stream only keeps a maximum of 1000 photos, and only for 30 days. After 30 days, photos are removed from photo stream but not on any device that has already received them. That's why you still had 1294 photos in your photo stream album. Chances are, all but 94 of them were older than 30 days and even though they were still on phone before, they were no longer in photo stream to download to any device connected to it for the first time (such as your restored phone). If that's the case, then unfortunately I don't think there's any way to get the other photos back at this point. Photo stream photos need to be regularly saved to your camera roll, and then imported to your computer for safekeeping, as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. Alternatively, if your computer meets the minimum system requirements, your photo stream photos can be download directly to your computer by syncing it with your iCloud account, as described here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/.

Can I delete photo to create more hard drive space as I just backed them to the iCloud ? Thanks

I just purchased 20gb of iCloud to create more space on my iPad. Is it safe to delete my photos from the hair drive now? Once deleted how can I view them from the iCloud
Many Thanks

You should transfer your photos to the laptop/computer or upload them to cloud storage like Dropbox, Box.net or Sugarsync.

HT4906 How to Photo Stream in iPhoto

"If you installed iPhoto from the iLife ʼ11 DVD, or if it was preinstalled on your computer along with OS X Snow Leopard v10.6.8 (or earlier), you can update iPhoto with Software Update (choose Software Update from the Apple () menu)."
I fulfilled the bolded text above. So, why can't I photostream?

"If you installed iPhoto from the iLife ʼ11 DVD, or if it was preinstalled on your computer along with OS X Snow Leopard v10.6.8 (or earlier), you can update iPhoto with Software Update (choose Software Update from the Apple () menu)."
I have iPhoto 09.
So, why can't I photostream?
Because as your post explains and as the links I sent explain - you must have iPhoto '11 to use Photo Stream

My iPhone is nearly full with photos, will the photos stay on iCloud if I delete them off the device?

And if iCloud does store them, how would I be able to view them?

I do not understand the point of icloud.
I too am out of internal space on my device.
1.) If I delete the photos from my device, do they also delete from the icloud? Are they even truly stored there?
2.) How can I view the photos that are on the icloud?
3.) When using icloud to sync to another device (my computer), like syncing my photos using Photo Stream, can I save them on my computer that way??
4.) Can you back up an iphone 4 to a pc without using itunes?

Some of my photos show in iPhoto but when i double click on them, they show a warning sign.What happened?

This is in iPhoto 11. Mac OS X 10.7.1
The pictures are visible, but can't do anything with them. No printing or editing and I looked under the info and it doesn't give me any clues. When and how did that happen?

As we can't see your machine we have no idea why this happened.
Time Machine can back up material on external drives.
No idea why rebuilding "isn't an option" in your case.
You might want to reconsider your back up routine. You don't need Library Manager to duplicate your Library, you can simply use the Finder for that.
Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate

I accidently deleted a photo album on iphoto, How can I get it back?

I accidently imported a photo and thought I deleted it but instead I deleted a whole photo album of almost 1000 pictures. I really need to get it back and I'm stressing out about it.

Deleting from albums does just that. The photos are still in the event(s)
Try command z to undo. But I don't think it works there
You can load your back from just before you made the error (that is why you must always have good, current backups. Things happen)
Or
You can recreate the album
