ICloud photosteam on PC is only backing up photos that I have already deleted from my phone.

I had my phone stolen and went into the icloud photos stream on my PC to check that all my photos are there. To my horror I the only photos appearing on the photostream of my PC are ones that I have deleted from my iPhone. Only about ten of the photos in the photostream folder are actually photos that exist on my phone and the rest are the deleted ones. This seems really bizarre to me, surely if they don't even exist on the phone, they shouldn't be backed up? I'm really hoping there will be some way of recovering the rest of my photos, or at least that when I get a new iPhone, iCloud will automatically give me the photos back and not the deleted ones I'm seeing on my PC. Does anyone have any idea why it might be doing this??

Go to "Apps"under "Library", click on it, hit the delete key.

    I backed my old iphone up to my computer and bought a new iphone.  When i backed my new phone up I now I have an icloud photo (from my computer) album that I want to delete from my phone but I do not have the option.  Please help.

    If the album was synced to your phone from your computer, it can only be removed by sycing it off.  To do this, deselect the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync.

  • Why do my backups take up so much icloud storage if i'm only backing up photos?

    I constantly get the notification that my "storage is almost full." I have gone into iCloud settings and turned off and deleted the data and backup data for every app on my phone (5s) except for Photos, and it still says that 4.6 GB of iCloud storage are being taken up by my backups. Furthermore, when I log into iCloud on my computer and try to access photos, or anything for that matter, there's nothing there. Nothing. Everything is empty, despite the fact that I'm supposedly backing up 4.6 GB of data onto my iCloud? I have literally no idea where all of this data is supposed to be going if it's not showing up anywhere. Help would be appreciated.

  • When i connect my ipad2 to my computer it shows as a camera type connection and can only see the photos that I have on it. I want to download all the songs from my PC but the device is not showing up in itunes.

    My desktop computer only recognises my ipad as a camera type device so I am unable to download the music from my PC to my ipad.  Even when I go into itunes it does not recognise the ipad, however it does recognise my ipod.  How do a get my computer to see my ipad properly.  My PC runs on windows XP.

    Not sure if you have tried the following...

  • Hi i was wondering wether i can retrieve (get back) any photos when they have been deleted (by the way it wernt backed up)

    This is my first ever comment

    If you don't have a backup or never imported your pics to your computer, then no you can't retrieve it.

    Please see the bold.  If you're out of icloud storage, then you won't be able to backup to icloud unless you purchase more storage, but yet you said you backup to icloud.
    If you really did backup to icloud no data would be loss - sounds to me that it didn't backup since you had no more free icloud storage space.

  • I just bought a macbook pro and I want to know how to restore pictures that were backed up on iCloud but then deleted from my phone. Isn't that the point of the backup so I can delete and make more space. Please help!

    I just bought a macbook pro and I want to know how to restore pictures that were backed up on iCloud but then deleted from my phone. Isn't that the point of the backup so I can delete and make more space. Please help!

    Log into the iCloud on your MacBook Pro and enable Photo Stream:
    Then launch iPhoto and set iPhoto's Photo Stream preferences to the following:
    Then check the Photo Stream section of iPhoto:
    This is to confirm that the photos are still in Photo Stream. If they are they will be imported into the library. 
    NOTE: not all photos in an iPhone will be in the Photo Stream. PS only keeps photos in it for 30 days.
    If you have the missing photos in your library put them in an album.  Connect your iPhone to the Mac and open iTunes.  In iTunes you can select that album in the library and sync the photos to your iPhone to get them back on the iPhone.

  • I have an IMAP mailbox that seems to only show mail 7 days old on my iMac running Snow Leopard.However, all old emails that I have not deleted are showing up on my macbook pro running the next OS (Lion?).  How do I get all my old emails back on my iMac?

    I have an IMAP mailbox that seems to only show mail 7 days on my iMac running Snow Leopard.  However, on my MacBook Pro I can see all old mail that I have not deleted.  It is running the next operating system (Lion?).  Does anyone know how I can get all my old mail back on my iMac.  It is my primary computer and I need some of those old messages.  I have tried to rebuild the mailbox but it has not done anything.

    I have tried to rebuild the mailbox to no avail.  The mailbox behavior says:  Drafts (not checked) store draft messages on the server, Notes (checked) show not in Inbox, Sent (checked) Store sent messages on the server Delete sent messages when (option never selected), Junt (not checked) store junk messages on the server Delete junk messages when (option never selected), Trash (checked) moves deleted messages to the Trash mailbox and (checked)  store deleted messages on the server Permanently erase deleted messages when (one month old option selected).
    I have not set up any rules that I know of other than a signature, in the very least I have not changed any.

    and on a second problem.  I need to know for sure that my contacts are backed up on my computer

    Create a parent folder on your computer to store the named folders of photos that you want transferred to your iPhone. Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, select the parent folder. All named folders of photos within will be transferred to your iPhone as separate folders or albums.
    Regarding your 2nd question, this should be easy. Your contacts should be available on your computer with or without an iPhone or any cell phone, which can be lost or stolen.
    Although contacts are included with your iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process, not a good idea to depend on this either since the iPhone backup includes a significant amount of other data. Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer. With Windoze, this can be with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express with XP and by Windows Mail with Vista and Windows 7 called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.

  • TS3999 all my non-recurring appointments have been deleted from my iphone.  The are listed on my pc in outlook under icloud archives.  How do I get these appointments back on my phone

    All my non-recurring appointments have been deleted from my iphone.  They are stored in outlook 2010 under the archiveicloud calander.  How do I restore these appointments to my phone?  Thanks

    The pics are gone.  This is what a restore is.  You erased your iphone, reinstalled your software, then added back your settings from the date of the last backup.
    You should have imported your photos to your computer as you would with any digital pictures, before any restore or update.
    Sorry

  • HT5824 where can i found the back up info that I have backed up from my iphone?

    where can I found the back up info that I have backed up from my Iphone?

    If you mean your iPhone backup, you can't see any files in the backup, you can only restore it to your phone.  You can confirm that you have one by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage and seeing that your phone is listed at the top under Backups.

  • Deleted contacts from my phone & they auto deleted from other phone. How do I get them back?

    Just updated my iPhone 4 and my GF's iPhone 4 to the new OS, we share the same Apple ID and subsequently linked both phones to the same iCloud account (I will be using separate clouds from this point forward). However, after the update all of her contacts where in my phone so I deleted all of them and due to the cloud they all deleted from her phone.
    So, I have previously backed up (not just synched) her phone to iTunes but I was hoping for clarification on exactly to restore her phone from iTunes and recover all of her contacts. Can you please give me the “dummy” proof steps on how to restore her phone and get her contacts back? Please and thank you in advance.

  • TS4009 How do I clean up mail in my icloud?  I have already deleted old mail on all devices, and emptied the junk & deleted files, but it still shows that I am at max on my icloud. What do I do to free up space? (photos & apps do not take up that much roo

    How do I clean up mail in my icloud?  I have already deleted old mail (from all my e-mail accounts) on all devices, and emptied the junk & deleted files, but it still shows that I am at max on my icloud. What do I do to free up space? (photos & apps do not take up that much room).  When I go to manage storage on any device & it will display how much room each program or app is using, it still shows that my e-mail is taking up the most room.  Is there a way to actually log on to the icloud server to manage what it stored there?  If so, how do I do it?  Also, on a related subject,  why does my mail not sync accross all devices?   ie. when I delete an email on one device, why do I still see it on all my other devices?  How can I change this?
    I have an iphone5, ipad2, ipod 4th gen, ipod 3rd gen, all running on my same apple id - but I have a PC not a Mac home computer - is this part of the problem?  Looking to upgrade to a Mac sometime this year...
    Thank-you for the help!

    I do have the Time Capsule and spoke to Apple Care here in Sydney about it yesterday.  They told me my mail is not backed up there unless I create a special folder. I just tried ringing them again but Apple Care is closed today...
    Mail is backed up automatically. If you make backups automatically, open Mail application and then, open the Time Machine app (in /Applications/Utilities). You will access to the Time Machine interface, and you will be able to see all your mails of all the backups you have, and you will be able to restore them. It means that your mails are backed up onto the Time Capsule

    Hi...
    Tap the Photos icon in the Dock at the bottom of of the screen.
    If you don't see the photos there, tap Settings > iCloud
    Turn Photo Stream off then back on then restart your iPad.
    Hold the power button until "slide to power off" appears.  Slide to power off.  After it is off, press the power button to turn it back on

    I want to delete photos that I have backed up from my computer, but when I go to select there is a faded trash can icon which I cant access

    If you copied the photos in question to your iPhone by connecting to itunes on your computer you need to do this again. Start itunes on your computer, connect your iPhone, select your iPhone in itunes and select the photos tab. as long as you are connecting with the same computer you should see, in the Photos TSB, a list of the photo albums on your computer. Those that were synced previously have a check mark and are selected. Deselect those you no longer want on the phone and then click on Apply or Sync. The deselected albums will be deleted from your iPhone but they will remain on your computer.
    if you only want to remove a few specific photos from various albums on your iphone, then move those photos out of the albums they are in on your computer. Then sync with iTunes. The photos you removed from the albums on your computer will be deleted from the albums on your iPhone when you click on Apply or Sync.
