ICloud space

I bought 15 GB of icloud space.
My scope is to save every type of my files in the cloud.
How can I save all files in ICloud space? (pdf, doc, excel documents, dwg drawings, pictures, songs, movies)
How can I manage all files with my Macbook, Iphone and PC?
Thanks in advance and kind regards
Federico

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage and Backups > Manage Storage and delete the files you don't need. You haven't got space on iCloud, not on the iPhone

TS4009 I seem to have 2 iCloud accounts with different names - a free storage that came with my Macbook and one I used when I bought some iCloud space. How can I cancel the free account?

I seem to have 2 iCloud accounts with different names - a free storage that came with my MacBook and one I used when I bought some iCloud space. How can I cancel the free account? Because of this I can't access iMatch and the ICloud account I paid for on my MacBook
Any ideas cos its frustrating that I can't access something I paid for!

Sign out of the account you do not wish to use, sign into the one that you do wish to use.

How does iCloud Photo Library backup photos & save iCloud space

I was reading about how to free up some space on my iCloud account (5GB).
Since the Camera Roll is the only thing that is backed up to iCloud, I would periodically import all my photos to iPhoto and delete them from my device. This would make the Camera Roll pictures move over to my other albums which are NOT backed up to iCloud. Now I ran into some apple documentation which explains what exactly gets backed up on an iOS device and its reads like this:
Photos and videos on your iOS devices, unless you turn on iCloud Photo Library beta on your iOS 8.1 device. If you turn on iCloud Photo Library beta, your photos and videos are already stored in iCloud, so they aren’t included in your iCloud Backup.
So basically if I turn on this iCloud Photo Library on my iOS device, it won't back up any photos to iCloud, because they are already stored in iCloud? What does that mean? Is this going to free up some iCloud space if I turn it on on my device? If so, how exactly does it work that will save me space?
Thanks

And of those 4.3GB of backup, my Photo Library is 1.4GB.
So my question is, how do I prevent my Photo Library from being backed up to the cloud, since I already have a backup of it everytime I connect to iPhoto and it copies all those photos to my mac?
I don't know, sorry. It's supposed to work alongside Photos & iCloud, so that photos are stored only once. When it doesn't work you have a couple of options as I see it –
Delete the old backups on iCloud to hopefully start over (I don't like deleting the only backup of anything).
Forget about iCloud backups & use iTunes to backup instead, it might not be suitable if you have no computer etc.
Buy more storage for iCloud.
I don't use iCloud backup, it bemuses me with issues like this, there is no easy way to resolve when it fails.
And one more question while we are at it...can I erase iphoto from my computer now that I have the new Photos app?
That is up to you. If you are happy you do not need it & have a backup of it go ahead & remove it. You can re-download it from the app store if it is already in your Mac App store account.

Hi there, I pay for extra iCloud space online. However I cannot seem to find any of my photos or account? As my iPod/iPhone only hold 1000 pictures, where are the previous pictures? And how can I access them?

You cannot use iCloud Storage to suppliment your iPad. They are mainly used to backup iPad.

How to free up iCloud space from pictures

iCloud tells me Ive run out of space for backups.
I am backing up my iPad which has very few photos and my iPhone which has a lot.
Storage & Backup reads:
iPhone 3.7GB
iPad 364MB
Docs&Data 8.6MB
Mail 312.2MB
Available 643MB
Drilling down into my iPhone
4.4GB Next Backup Size
4.1GB Camera Roll
151MB iBooks
22MB Twitter
12MB Whatsapp
5MB Waze
Anwyay, we can see the culprit here
My Photos App Shows this:
Camera Roll 414
Photo Library 2459
Last 12 Months 407
Last Import 23
My question is how should I manage this in a smart way? My iPhone is 32GB. I have quite a bit of free space. But how does this really work?
As I take pictures, I want them backed up on the cloud in case something happens to my phone. Once I plug it into my mac, those pics in the Camera Roll go into my Photo Library, right? So if they are in the Photo Library, I shouldnt need to back them up to the cloud anymore.
So here is my question...I actually have duplicates on my phone right? I can see those 23 last imported pictures, they are all in the Camera Roll but they are also in the PhotoLibrary (on my iPhone). If those 23 pics are in the Last Import, that means they are backed up to my iPhoto app on my mac. Which is why they show up on the iPhone's PhotoLibrary folder. So there is no sense in having them in Camera Roll as well, is there? Taking up valuable iCloud space...
How should I proceed? I want to free up the space I have in Camera Roll by having all those pics and movies show up in PhotoLibrary and have a hardcopy on my ssd but I dont want them backing up into iCloud.
I DO HOWEVER, want to maintain the iCloud-CameraRoll-backup feature activated so that pictures I take today until the time I backup to iPhoto on Mac, are backed up to the iCloud.
phew!

For example,
This is what I had above:
My Photos App Shows this (on iPhone):
Camera Roll 414
Photo Library 2459
Last 12 Months 407
Last Import 23
I took some pictures today and connected the iPhone to my mac. iPhoto popped open and I selected the new photos to import.
iPhoto says
Photos 2643
Last Import 18.
18 is the number of photos I imported. However, my iPhone Photos app still shows:
My Photos App Shows this (on iPhone):
Camera Roll 414
Photo Library 2459
Last 12 Months 407
Last Import 23
I always keep my photos on the device even after I import them to iPhoto. So indeed they are on my iPhone's Camera Roll. But they are not on the iPhone's Photo Library nor in the iPhone's Last Import.
So if I were to erase those 18 new pics from CameraRoll, I would have them on my mac, but not on my device!
I want my pics on the device, just not backing up to iCloud.
So what makes my pics on iPhone go from Camera Roll to PhotoLibrary?

My iphone 5 is 32GB and I keep it backed up in icloud. A recent message suggested that I don't have enough icloud space so I have deleted all back up - it still says no icloud space - help!!! I am not a techy person and this is driving me mad!! :(

Please can somebody help ....My iphone said not enough icloud space available, so I have delete all back ups and checked what apps are linked to my back up and it is only my photos. Since deleting all current back ups I have tried to back up again and it still says not enough space when I have 5GB/ 5GB available.
Can anybody help please? I'd be really greatful as this is driving me mad... why can't things just be simple x

The problem could be that you don't have enough storage on the device itself, not on iCloud. Go to Settings>General>Usage to see how much "Storage" you have available on the device. Farther down the list is the available storage on iCloud.
Also check:
Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage; there, tap the device you need info on and the resulting screen lists Backup Options with which apps store data on iCloud as well. Tap Show All Apps to get the complete list of apps and MB used for backup storage.
A device needs many MB of storage in order to perform a backup to iCloud.

What is the most iCloud space I can buy? Is there more than 55GB?

What is the most iCloud space I can buy? Is there more than 55GB.

No. 55GB is the largest you can have (5GB free + 50GB upgrade).

Why are the backups to iCloud much smaller than those to my PC? I subscribed to extra iCloud space expecting for the backups to be the same size. Now I have more unused iCloud space I don't need, can I get a refund?

Backups to my PC were almost 30 G bytes each time, backup to the Icloud is only 1.4 G bytes. Expecting the backups to be about the same size I subscribed to extra Icloud space. Can I stop my Icloud pace subscription amd get a refund? I have all this extra space and have no use for it. It does not appear there is a way to use this space for other storage purposes.

You can't merge iCloud backups. You could create a current backup of your phone, then restore the backup of your old phone to it and save any data you want to keep, the restore it again to the current backup. Some of your old recovered data could then be synced back to your new phone (such as photos), but other data cannot (such as text message conversations). You may not want to save any of your old data but restoring the backup would be the only way to see what's there.

Please can I have a refund of £14 for 10gb for my purchase of more icloud space purchased by mistake. Thank you.

I want to cancel the extended iCloud space I just purchased?

I recently purchased extended iCloud space, but I have found it will not do what I want to. I want to cancel the purchase and obtain a refund.

Contact the Apple online store in your country (1-800-My-Apple if you're in the U.S.).

HT5824 iCloud space is full, but I can't figure out why...

Why does it say I'm using 4.9GB of space on my iCloud when all I back up is just my contacts, notes, and calender. So what is taking up all my iCloud space?

How to Buy more iCloud Space

Hey Everyone,
I am in a delima I take lots of photos with my iPhone 4S so naturaly, I need more iCloud space for my iPhone and iPad to share. I don't have a credit card at all. Do you need one to buy more space or can you use iTunes credit or, is their another way altogther? Thanks for your time

Yep you do. Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage and backup>Buy more storage. Sorry if you already know this.Cheers.

How much iCloud space do I need?

IIs there any way to know how much the iCloud space I need to "rent" from Apple before handing my photos over to them?

Yeah, you'll need about 45 GB.
Note that you cannot merge those libraries in Photos.
I would suggest that you merge the two libraries using Aperture first, and then import that library into Photos.
The Aperture and iPhoto libraries contain some previews and thumbnails and other stuff that makes sense, so the space you need in iCloud may be something more like 35 GB, but figure 35 GB to 45 GB as a safe range.

What is taking up iCloud space?

I know this has been asked many times and I've read as much as I can on iCloud space, but I still can't figure out what's taking up space.
My iPhione has plenty of space. Capacity of 57GB with 30GB available. iCloud is showing a total storage of 25GB with only 4.2GB available.
On my phone when I go to iCloud and then manage storage, it's showing the following:
iPhone 14.3GB
iPad 5.6GB
iPad Mini 860MB
So then when I click on iPhone, the first item (of course) is the camera roll, which is showing 4.3GB. When I click to show all apps, they all have very little space. Adding them all up, it is no where near the 14.3GB it's indicating.
I know I'm stupid and missing something. And all the articles I've read are not helping.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Do you have lots of photos and videos in your text messages? Those are included in the backup and this is not listed in settings because you don't have the option to exclude them.

How can I buy more iCloud space when my ipad won't sync and has jammed

How can I buy more icloud space when my ipad won't sync and has jammed. I cannot press settings or close and cannot even turn off?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.
