HT5129 Moving photos from Mobile Me to iCloud?

Any information on moving my photos (iPhoto) from Mobile Me to iCloud?

Have you enabled iCloud and PhotoStream on yhour iPhone and Macs? Once you have the last photos taken by iPhoto will be uploaded to PhotoStream. That's the only iCloud photo sharing available from the iPhone and it's only to share with your other mobile devices, like the iPad, and your desktop Macs. PhotoStream only presents 100 photos for 30 days and then replaces them with the next 100 that you've taken since the first.
If you have MoibleMe galleries then you can download them to your iPHoto library. This Apple webpage describes how: iPhoto 9.2.2 or later: Migrating MobileMe albums and photos to your iPhoto library

How do I put my photos from mobile me onto icloud?

I had mobileme and think I am set up for icloud but I cannot retrieve my photos saved in mobile me. I have tried the tutorials and get nowhere.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately Mobile Me was discontinued 6 months ago, unless you copied your photos from the galleries before then, I'm afraid you have lost them.

Errors with moving from Mobile me to iCloud - No answer anywhere on the web that I can find!

I'm completely up to date with Lion.
I'm trying to move from Mobile Me to iCloud, but get an "Unable to complete your move to iCloud because of an unexpected server error" message on my Mac Book Pro when I open system preferences, it tries to finish moving me to iCould, but fails and gives me the error message above.
My Mobile Me account status is saying I have been upgraded to iCloud.
I have already successfully completed the move on my iMac and two iPhone 4's?
I have tried repair permissions and deleted the keychain, but the problem still exists!
Can anyone provide a solution? I am getting very frustrtaed, as I have so much stuff to do, I didn't want to waist any time on this issue!

I have found the solution to my issue in this thread - http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1250735
This lead me to the solution for my issue: deleting the ~/Library/Application Support/iCloud/Accounts folder.
I spoke to an Apple MobileMe Support girl and she was useless!
I've wasted over 24 hours trying to sort this issue out - not a happy Apple user!
I hope this helps others - let me know if it does!

To backup your Cal before you try to merge .me and .iCloud calendars.
I don't know if the .me account settings works like iCloud. In iCloud you can turn off the Calendar from settings by keeping the event in the iPhone's local account. Then you can turn ON calendar in iCloud settings and you will prompted to merge them.

Using iPad 2 photos and have not found key to organizing or moving photos from one album to another existing album

With ipad2 I have been almost successful in moving photos from the stream or roll to separate albums. It takes the commands but does not allow last step. What am I missing?

If you are wanting to copy photos from your computer to the iPad then you need to select all the folders that you want to copy together in one go - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are removed by not including them in the next photo sync, so on each photo sync you need to select all the photos that you want to remain on the iPad. So you will only do one photo sync to copy them.
So when you connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes, on the right-hand side on the Photos tab you need to select the parent folder under each those 100 folders are directly under - each of those 100 folders will then get their own album on the iPad. The folder to album relationship only works to 1 level i.e. if those folders have sub-folders in them then their photos will go into the parent's album on the iPad

Can I save my photos from my iPhone to iCloud/iTunes, and then delete them from my iPhone to free up space on my iPhone?I would still like to keep them somewhere where they can be accessed.

Can I save my photos from my iPhone to iCloud/iTunes, and then delete them from my iPhone to free up space on my iPhone?I would still like to keep them somewhere where they can be accessed.

One option is to turn on iCloud Photo Library on the phone and go to Settings > iCloud > Photos and turn on "Optimize iPhone Storage." Then you don't delete the photo from the phone but it does occupy significantly less space. More information in iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support

How do you transition from mobile.me to iCloud?

How do you transition from mobile.me to iCloud?

The link posted above is useless as it is completely out of date.
You cannot migrate a MobileMe to iCloud: MobileMe is closed and the contents of all accounts have been deleted.
If you had a MobileMe account you can reactivate the @me.com address by signing into System Preferences>iCloud with it and enabling Mail in the checklist there (Lion 10.7.2 or above required, you cannot do this on older systems) or in Settings>iCloud on an iOS5 device. The address will work but the previous contents of the account will not appear. If you also had an @mac.com version of the address from being a long-standing MobileMe member you cannot reactivate that, only the @me.com address.

Regret updating from Mobile Me to iCloud

Is it my imagination or is iCloud totally disfuntional? Ever since updating to iCloud the iCal apps on my iPad and MacBook Pro are not syncing properly with the calendar in iCloud.
1. Calendar events created on my iPad usually show up in iCloud but sometimes with the wrong date and time. They never show up in iCal on my MacBook Pro
2. Calendar events created on my MacBook Pro don't show up on my iPad nor the calendar in iCloud.
3. Events created in iCloud's calendar show up on my iPad but never iCal on my MacBook Pro.
4. Events created in iCloud's calendar can't be editied within the iCloud calendar.
5. Selecting "Preferences" in the iCloud calendar does nothing.
Anyone else seeing any of the above? Any suggestions as to how this mess can be repaired. Ever since updating from Mobile Me to iCloud, I've had nothing but problems.

Go to www.icloud.com/move and transition the account to iCloud. Please take the time to read the posts listed to the right under 'More Like This' and please take the time to open System Preferences>iCloud to choose services to run. Many users report that you should sign out of Mobile Me in the Mobile Me preference pane or iCloud does not complete its login.

How do I store all my old photos from my pc to iCloud?

I'm just transitioning to Apple products from a PC. I have an iPhone and have purchased extra space in iCloud. How do I move all my old photos from my PC to iCloud? I can't seem to find instuctions anywhere.

iCloud will only store photos for 30 days, after which they are deleted. This is to give other devices enough time to download your photos.
Photo Stream FAQ:

Note: Photo Stream does not count against your iCloud storage space.

How do I add photos from my computer to icloud?

If you are using windows an have iCoud installed, then just copy them into the "upload" folder that ist set in iCloud settings (open iCloud to check which folder it is). The files in this folder will be uploaded to your photostream

I have deleted email and photos from my device but icloud still says I don't have any storage

I have deleted emails and photos from my device but iCloud still says I don't have enough storage to download the latest iOS version

You'll have to delete more data from the device.
Go to Settings>General>Usage to see how much "Storage" you have available on the device. (Ignore storage on icloud, since that is not part of the equation.)

Moving Photos from iCloud Photo Library to Local Storage

Scenario - I've a fully migrated library of photos/videos using iCloud Photo Library on iPhone and Mac. It's near the limit of the iCloud storage plan I purchased and want to retain. I'd like to move older and less frequently used content from iCloud Photo Library to more permanent archival storage.
[This is for two reasons. First, I prefer to use the Full Resolution setting on mobile devices, and that will be impossible as the entire library grows beyond the storage capacity of even the largest mobile devices. Second, I don't feel the need to pay for super-sized iCloud storage for content rarely needed and only needed on a Mac.]
The only option I've identified in Photos to do this is to Export (and delete from iCloud), which exports the original photos, but does not preserve useful Photos metadata and organization, such as Albums.
What one would might like to see is a way to designate selection portions of the Library for local storage only (including backup within the Photos app library package), so those photos can be manipulated within Photos alongside iCloud content, but don't consume iCloud or mobile device space. Or, in the alternative, one would like to see a way to Export content to merge into a separate Photos library package, preserving the metadata/organization. In that way, one could maintain one Photos library as current iCloud synced content, and one or more local-only Photos library packages with archival content (with, importantly, the Export function to move content between the two preserving metadata).
Does anyone know if there's a way to do this? If not, Apple, would you consider coming up with a way to address this need?

Well I was able to move photos from the camera roll to the photo library by sending *the pictures via email to my dad's blackberry, then saving them to my computer from his phone, then putting them back on into the photo library*.
This is what I said originally.
{quote:title=Nissin101 wrote @ 4:08pm EMT:}{quote}
Alright I guess that answers my question then. However, just as I said I was able to transfer photos from my camera roll to my photo library, so at least that is possible.
I never said that I did it directly, neither did I mean to imply that I was looking for a direct solution. This I guess is where our misunderstanding comes from. I just did not feel like repeating the whole process I went through. Regardless, I would rather this thread not derail into who said what and whose misunderstanding who. I now know that it is not possible to get pictures from the photo library to the camera roll in any way, so my question is answered for now at least.

I recently updated to ios and moved from Mobile Me to icloud. Now I have multiple copies of the same contacts on my phone. How do I get them back down to one per person!

I recently updated to Ios 5 and moved from MobileMe to the icloud. Now I have duplicate contacts on my phone - like 8 of each person! How do I get rid of them? My calendar is finally in sync....

I turned off syncing from Itunes and said yes to deleting them from the phone and now I only have one contact per person.
It only took a few hours to get past the fear of delete
hope this helps

Moving photos from one iPhoto library to another

Is there a way to move photos from one iPhoto library to another? I tried to use export, and that puts the photos in the other iPhoto library (I can see the photo if I open Hard drive>user>pictures>iPhoto Library but when I open iPhoto it is not in that Library's library.
If I have not made myself clear, please ask and I'll try again.

Is there really no other way than via third party software??
Yes there is, detailed above: export from one, import to another.
I love using iPhoto but this is a real drawback.
Wow, really?
I have bought an external disk so i can free the space on my laptop by moving photos and now I have to buy some software in order to do that??
You don't have to buy it. What's more the free version of iPhoto Library Manager will move up to 20 pics at a time. And the paid version is only $20.
BTW: you can run an entire library from the external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
