I don't know where to find my photos that are supposed to be stored on the "cloud".  I don't want to erase them from my iPhone until I can locate them.  I'm out of storage.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Only photos in photostream are kept in the cloud and only for 30 days. To save your photos before deleting them, sync them to a computer or an online storage solution such as Dropbox.

  • I used my iPad to rent a movie but now I don't know "where to find it" so that I can view it.

    I used my iPad to "rent" a movie but when I wanted to watch it on a long flight....I could not find the download or an app to view it.  What am I missing or what did I fail to do?

    Look in the Videos App on the iPad - not in iTunes.

    I have uploaded an old itunes library by mistake - any way that I can go back to my previous library.  Unable to do a system restore and I don't know where to find an up to date music/playlist file.  I was originally trying to recover a playlist that vanished after I had updated one of the ipads, did an online search, followed the instructions only to discover that I had loaded an itunes library from 2 years ago.  Stupidly I thought that it had updated itself and didn't realise I had to do it.  Any he

  • My iphone has been water damaged and in the mean time ive gone back to using my old phone. But i need to get all the contacts from my iphone i had synced to my laptop, but i don't know where to find them and im not sure if ive backed them up to anything!

    If your contacts are synced to your computer then they are in the supported app you are syncing with.
    When you set up syncing of contacts on your device, which application did you select? 

  • Hi, how do I manage storage? Disk Utility says "other" is taking up most of my storage but I don't know where to find "other".  Please help!

    Hi, how do I manage storage? Disk Utility says “other” is taking up most of my storage but I don’t know where to find “other".  Please help!

    For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
    Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
              iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
    Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
    According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
    When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as  Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
    See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
    You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
    Deleting files inside a photo or iTunes library will corrupt the library. Changes to such a library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
    Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
    ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
    Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
    Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper 2>&-
    sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective 2>&-
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Ignore any other messages that appear in the Terminal window.
    The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
    When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • I rented a movie on Apple TV but don't know where to find it and play it . Can anyone help?

    I rented a movie on Apple TV but don't know where to find it and play it? Van someone help?

    Hi cheryle36779349,
    The free trial that we offer is for Acrobat (we don't offer trials of the online services). So, the first thing you need to do is download Acrobat from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html. When you launch it the first time after installing it, you should be prompted to accept the end-user license agreement.
    Then, so convert PDF files to Word, choose File > Save as Other > Microsoft Word > Word Document.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,

  • How do I find my photos that are stored in iphoto on my mac?

    How do I find my photos that are stored in iphoto on my mac?  I don't want to access them through iphoto, I want to access them individually.  I have always done it previously through searching for the img number.  But it no longer works!

    That's half-correct. Direct access is supported.
    Find the photo in iPhoto, then go to the "File" menu and click "Reveal in Finder" - it takes you directly to the image file. Or right-click on the photo, and choose "Edit in External Editor" which opens the original file in other software, like Photoshop, if you have it.
    And it's dangerous to move, rename or delete the original file or folders after you found it, but safe to do other things.

  • HT4859 How do I find and access the photos that are bumped from my iphone to the icloud?

    The photos on my iphone keep disappearing, I think because of the storage limits on the phone.  My understanding was they were being stored "on the cloud," but I can't figure out how to find them.  I have it installed on my iphone 4 and on my PC.  Please tell me they aren't gone forever!  Thanks.

    Re-sync your device to iTunes and uncheck Sync under Photos.

  • I don't know where to find my Linksys Password?

    I just got a new labtop for school and I'm trying to update my linksys wireless onto the labtop.  I have done this about 6 months ago onto another labtop in our family, but I dont ever recall being asked for a password to confirm anything (maybe I did but I can't recall it.)  I have the model number WRT54G.  When I do the setup with the CD-ROM it gets me passed like 8 or so steps and then it asks me for a password to verify things.  I don't know what my password is and I dont know how to find out where it is.... PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP ME????

    If you can access your router you can go to the wireless tab and reset it.  If not and your can not access your router (forgot the password and the default does not work) then you will have to reset the router and reconfigure it from scratch.  This LINK will show you how to access your router with the default settings.

  • Simple problem, just don't know where to find answer

  • HT1349 How do you get help from apple if you don't know where to find the serial number of my "product."  I don't know if they mean my itunes program, my iphone, my computer, which one, the number on the computer (is there one), or something in Windows or

    How are you supposed to get help from Apple if you don't know what your serial number is?  They say to input the serial number of the "product" that you are asking about.  Since my problem is how to deauthorize/authorize computers, and they are saying I have more than 5 (which I have never owned more than 5 computers in my life), I can't imagine what serial number they mean.  Does it mean your desktop computer?  If so, which one?  Do they mean your device?  LIke your iPhone, iPod or whatever?  Do they mean the software ON one of your computers and/or devices?  If so, which program, and on which computer/device?
    We have three operational computers, one does not have iTunes on it.  Since Apple is saying I have more than 5 authorized computers, and I can't imagine what they are, I am afraid to deauthorize all my computers.  See what I mean?  I just wanted to ask the question about how I can find out WHICH computers Apple thinks I have authorized, so I can decide if it's safe to deauthorize them all or not.  I only know of 2 computers that have iTunes on them, so how can there be 5?  We also have 2 iPhones and 2 iPods in this family, but one of the iPhones has his own apple id.  He may have been using mine, since his computer died.  I read that those don't count as "computers" to the 5.  Do they, then?
    Help!  I can't contact apple because I have no idea what they mean about serial number.  I doubt they would help me anyway.  In order to get the serial number off my desktop computer (that has iTunes on it already), I will have to move furniture, so I don't want to if that's not it.  Is there some way to find the serial number in the software, either on my desktop or my iPhone?

    You could have more 5 computers authorized if you ever, for example, reformatted a hard drive or replaced a hard drive without deauthorizing the computer first. Apple's system would see that as a different computer, even though you don't. There's nothing to be afraid of in deauthorizing everything and the reauthorizing what you actually have. You won't lose any data. Mistimp is correct, they can't tell you which computers are authorized.

  • When working in iPhoto I kept getting a dialog box that asked if I wanted to delete the photo.  I checked the little box that said do not show this again.  Well, I want to get this warning box back but I don't know where to find it.

    Hi I was organizing pictures in iphoto.  I am new at this.  I was deleting a bunch of duplicate pictures and I kept getting a 'warning box" that kept asking "are you sure you want to delete?"  I knew I wanted to delete all these pics so I checked the box that said "check box if you dont want to see this warning."  So checked the box.  Now I want to get that warning box back.  Any ideas?  I can't find anything on the internet or manuals.  thanks

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • Audio driver help: Drivers too old, don´t know where to find new ones

    As i said in the title, IDT high def audio codecs for my machine are nowhere to be found and HP autodetect tool seems to think my laptop does not exist.
    http://www.alza.cz/EN/hp-pavilion-dv6-6130ec-d245498.htm#popis
    This is my laptop. Pretty old one, had it for 3 years now. Lately im experiencing audio trouble of 1-2 seconds delay between action and corresponding sound. For example, If i get an error, i hear the sound 2 seconds later.
    According to my DxDiag the audio drivers are over 3 years old now, and i cannot for the life of me find any IDT drivers on the internet that are compatible with my machine.
    Please help.
    Thanks.

    Hello, @majogl 
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you're looking to update the Audio driver. I will try to assist you with this.
    Here is the drivers page for your notebook: HP Pavilion dv6-6130ec Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers.
    The audio driver listed is the only one available for the notebook. I was however, able to find this one: IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver. Not much newer, but should work and is newer than the website.
    Try it and see if it helps.
    Thank you for posting on the HP forums.
    I worked on behalf of HP.
