If I backup my pictures to icloud can I delete them off my ipad and how do I retrieve them later?

I Need more space on my ipad to download a movie, if I backup my photos to icloud and then delete them off my ipad how do I retrieve them at a later date?

No.  If you delete them from your device, they will be deleted from iCloud.  To keep them, import them from your camera roll to your computer as explained here: iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer.  You will get an option to delete them after they are imported.  If you have photo stream photos that you want to keep, save them to your camera roll so they can be imported too.

  • If I have my photos backed up with iCloud, can I delete them off my phone and will they be saved?

    If I have my photos backed up with iCloud, can I delete them off my phone and will they be saved?  We can't do the IOS 7 upgrade and notice that the photos are taking up the most memory.  If I delete these, but they are backed up on iCloud, will I lose them all if they aren't stored anywhere else? 

    Hi...
    If you delete the backups it will not delete any content from their device, however the data will be removed from iCloud.
    It will also prevent the devices from backing up to iCloud in future, unless this is re-enabled.

  • If I download photos to icloud, can I delete them from my computer without deleting them from icloud?

    If I download photos to icloud, can I delete them from my computer without deleting them from icloud?

    If I download photos to icloud,
    Which MacOS X version do you use?
    How are you planning to store photos in iCloud? There are many ways to use iCloud with photos, but none will save space on your Mac:
    iCloud Drive: Any photo you store on iCloud Drive will also have a shadow copy on your Mac, so you cannot save space, see: iCloud Drive FAQ
    My Photo Stream:  Photos you upload to My Photo Stream from your Mac, are also stored on your Mac. And My Photo Stream is only a temporary storage for a month. You cannot keep the photos permanently in My Photo Stream, see:  iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    iCloud Photo Sharing:  Shared Photo albums are also stored locally, and reduce the resolution of the photos: seeiCloud: iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ
    iCloud Photo Library (Beta): This is not yet available on a mac, but will be available, when the new Photos.app will be released. Right now you can use it from mobile iOS8 devices, iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ.Photos you store in iCloud from mobile devices can be accessed on your mac using the icloud web portal.  You can however upload to iCloud Photo Library Beta from your mac using the Photos.app (Beta) on web interface at https://www.icloud.com

  • What can I delete on my Macbook pro and how?

    what prorams can I delete on my macbook pro and how? I heard could delete some preloaded programs on my macbook pro and I would like to know how? I know that I can move app from to the trash to uninstall them but what all preloaded apps can I delete. I tried to delete photo booth, sticky notes, address book and could not so what can I delete and how?

    I wasn't aware that you couldn't delete those programs, what happens when you try? Is there some reason that you want to delete them? They don't take up hardly any hard drive space or RAM to use them and they are useful programs, I think. If you're trying to gain more hard drive space, that's not going to do it. If you don't want them in your dock, just drag them out to the desktop and they poof away.

  • HT4847 If you have to manny old back ups on iCloud can u delete them with out loosing current and old things

    If you I cloud memory is low can u delete all the old back ups w out loosing data

    Yes you could delete backups without loosing anything on your device, but iCloud storage has nothing to do with your local device capacity. I guess that your device is just full and that you have to delete something like apps, movies etc to free up some space for other content.
    iCloud uses its storage only for
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemails
    purchases of apps, music, videos do not count against your iCloud storage capacity ( but please see also iCloud backup and restore overview http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4859).

  • HT1657 My movie -- safe House -- froze/stopped with 57 minutes left to play. How can I get the rest of the movie to play or how can I delete it from my iPad and download the rental again?

    My rental movie -- Safe House -- stopped/froze with 57 minutes leftnto play. How can I watch the rest of the movie, or delete it to download it again?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Have you tried stopping the movie and trying to start it again.
    Unfortunately you cannot re-download rentals. If the problem continues, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History.

  • Can i delete songs from ipod touch once i upload them to icloud, can i delete songs from ipod touch once i upload them to icloud

    once you upload songs,photos or documents fron ipod touch to icloud, can you delete them from ipod touch to free up memory from ipod touch and can you access them from icloud without downloading to ipod?

    You can't upload music to iCloud unless you are an iTunes Match subscriber, and if you are the songs are uploaded or matched from the iTunes library on your computer, not your device.  Photos are only uploaded to Photo Stream temporarily (30 days), for up to 1000 photos so it's not meant to be a permanent storage option.  The uploaded photos are also generally of lower quality than the originals on your device.  Also, only photos taken on your device after turning on Photo Stream are uploaded.  Finally, when you turn Photo Stream on, uploaded photos will be streamed back to your device in a Photo Stream album (so it actually uses some of your memory rather than saving it).  As for documents, only iWork documents are uploaded.
    If you really want to free up storage on your device consider more permanent cloud storage services such as DropBox (which will handle photos and all documents).

  • HT201317 Once I have loaded my photos on I cloud Can I delete them off my I Phone to fee up memory

    I am new to using Icloud, once I have down loaded my photos from my Iphone to Icloud can I delete them off my Iphone to free up memory

    You could but you're taking a chance on losing them if you do.  Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days.  If you ever lose your phone, have to restore it, replace it, or turn off photo stream, you will only get back photos from the last 30 days.
    To make sure your photos are safely backed up, import them to your computer while they are in the camera roll, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  You will get an option to delete them from your phone after importing them.

  • HT4864 Can I delete email on my iPhone and have my ipad also delete them on its own?

    Can I delete mail on my ipad and have it tell my iPhone to delete it automatically?
    I thought this is what iCloud would do?

    You're welcome.  If you're using a POP account, not even a 10 year old can help you.   You'll have to get an IMAP account (such as iCloud email, Gmail or Yahoo), then forward your old account to your new one until your contacts learn to use your new email address.

  • My iTunes library is on a PC, includes items purchases from Apple but a lot that are not.  Can I sync the entire library (Apple purchases and others) with my iPAD and how?

    My itunes library is on my PC.  It has Apple purchased and other music.  Can I sync everything with my iPAD and how?  I'm having difficulties getting the "non-Apple" music sync'd.

    You should be able to sync them from your computer's iTunes to your iPad and/or iPhone. Connect your iPad or iPhone to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (you can enable the sidebar via control-S on a PC), and then use the Music tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes to select and sync the music that you want in the iPad/iPhone's Music app

  • I have two iphones and the two got sync'd contacts were deleted from 1 phone and now were deleted from other via wireless on icloud the last back up was 2 months ago how do i retrieve and reinstall that backup? or can I do this from an old icloud back up

    Hi this is my first time using this service and I am having a huge problem with two of my iphones. I have two phones that were sync'd accidently on itunes and both were sync'd to icloud too apparently. The one phone then deleted some of the contacts - now both phones have lost those contacts. What would be the steps to get the phone contacts (not from the computer) back on one of the iphones. it does show the phone was backed up over two months ago - can I restore to that back up and how? Any help would be very appreciated <")))><

    Please read before going through with this procedure.
    If you really want your contact back and you did not do another iCloud backap since you deleted some of your contacts, you can do a hard reboot on both devices with iClouded contacts by holding down the home and lock buttons on each of them for 10 seconds ignoring the slide to turn off thing. Make sure you have iCloud contact services off before doing so. You can then go through the whole set up process until you get up to the backup part. You then press to restore from an iCloud backup (make sure you choose the right backup for the right phone). If you didn't make an iCloud backup before the contact incident, you will have to use your two-month-old iTunes backups. Each phone should have their contacts the way they were from your last backup. You then go into Settings>iCloud>and turn off contacts. You then can choose if you want to keep your current contacts or not. Turn this off on both phones just incase you add another iCloud device to the mix later on. Now your contact lists are no longer linked (Caution: side effect may include lack of edit button). You may now add and delete contacts as you please without it happening on your other phone.
    Thank you for choosing Apple.

  • My iPad is stuck with a small blue screen saying iCloud Backup, this iPad hasn't been backed up in 4 weeks.Backups blah blah- Click OK. I can't get it off the screen and I can't use the iPad because of it. Can anyone out there help?

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

  • I can't backup my contacts to ICloud. I have them in my phone but get only one contact at iCloud?

    Hi P.Hallis,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your goal is to sync the contacts on your iPhone with iCloud. You may want to use this article to double-check your sync settings in iTunes:
