You won't lose anything from your camera roll. Your iCloud Photos will still be available to any device or computer that you sign into iCloud with (using iPhoto or iOS Photos).

HT201317 If I turn off my Photo Stream, will the photos be deleted in my Camera Roll as well?

Please help me! I want to delete my Photo Stream which takes up 5 gb of space! I don't want my photos to be deleted. What do I do?

Save the photo stream photos to your camera roll if they aren't already there by tapping Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. Camera roll photos are not deleted by turning off photo stream.

HT201317 Accidently turn off the photo stream on my iPhone. How do I recover all my old photos in the photo stream?

I accidently the. Off photo stream and then when I turn it back on all the old photos were gone. How can I recover my all the previous photos?

iCloud only keeps photo stream photos for 30 days, even though a rolling collecting of up to 1000 photos will stay on your devices until deleted (such as by turning off photo stream). These photos can't be recovered because they are no longer in iCloud. If they were in your camera roll when you last backed up, restoring the backup should recover them; otherwise there gone.
In the future, to save them permanently, be sure to import them to your computer while they are still in the camera roll as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. If they aren't in the camera roll, save them to the camera roll by tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. Then they can be imported to your computer.

Will turning off My Photo Stream also turn off iCloud Photo Sharing?

I don't like the new Photos app in iOS 8. I was a frequent user of the iPhoto app and am sad to see it go. It was the best app I found for quick white balance fixes (you could point to skin on a picture and it set the white balance appropriately). It was also great for seeing EXIF data, location data, and for sending photos to other editing apps. The Photos app has limited support for sending to other editing apps, actually it doesn't send photos to any of the editing apps. It also does not readily display photo informations. The edits in the Photo app leave something to be desired (since it meant the demise of iPhoto). I am also not a fan of how camera roll and Photo Stream are meshed together. My family uses the iPhoto desktop app which is tied to my Photo Steam. In iOS 7 it was easy to just ignore the Photo Stream since it would include everyone's photos and work on my camera roll, but now it's a cluttered mess.
Since I have a subscription to Adobe Lightroom there is no need for the Photo Stream backup, so I am tempted to turn My Photo Stream off. As indicated in the title, I would like to know if turning off My Photo Stream will also delete photos I've shared in iCloud with other users. I would like those photos to stay and the ability to share photos going forward. Since My Photo Stream and sharing on iCloud are two different options in Setting, I assume that turning one off won't affect the other. Can anyone verify?

Save your photo stream photos to your camera roll by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. Then you can delete them from photo stream and the copies in the camera roll will remain on your phone. Note: deleting them from photo stream will delete them from iCloud and all your devices.

I need to free up storage on my iPhone 4s to do an update. I have turned off my photo stream, but when I go into Usage Settings, it says that photo stream is using 3.7gb of space. How do I get rid of this?

iCloud is not designed to "store" photos (as in long term storage). iCloud can be used to sync photos from one device to another (photo stream) and to store a backup of the camera roll. But that's pretty much it.
Camera roll is the group of all photos taken by the device (but not other photos synced to the device from another source). Your extra storage on icloud will do you no good. The recommended way of storing photos on a device is to sync them to a computer.
So, your questions..
1) You don't/can't
2) No, because of 1.
3) On a computer, deleting large groups of photos is relatively painless. not so on a device.
4) You can't access photos on iCloud because they can't be store in icloud. You can't view/access photos in a backup on icloud unless you restore a backup to a device.

My iPad has deleted 700 photos off the photo stream on that device. The pictures are still on my Mac iPhoto in the photo stream. How do I get them to reappear on the iPad?

When did this deletion happen? Which version of iOS 8 do you have on your iPad? Depending on your settings you may not see My Photo Stream on the iPad any longer. With iOS 8 "My Photo Stream" will only show on the iPad, if you did not enable iCloud Photo Library (Beta).

Without turning on the photo stream, is it possible to recover pics taken from my iPhone?

MCPaulyB,
Have you found a solution to your problem? I, too, lost files during the upgrade to iOS 5.0. My files in Pages, Numbers and Keynote disappeared although the update said they'll be saved in iCloud. They simply vanished after the update.

Turning off My Photo Stream?

Is there any reason to keep Photo Stream turned on if all your devices are using the iCloud Photo Library? Any advantages or disadvantages?
Thanks!

How do I turn off the photo info. overlay when viewing images in L/R 3?

Sometimes I take a screenshot from within L/R 3.6 and send it by email. Problem is the image name/date/size info. overlay spoils the image. I've looked all over L/R prefs etc but I can't see how to turn the info. off, assuming it's possible to do so?
Also..I have another problem which I can't find help for.
I used to be able to import pics from my camera into a specific folder on my hard drive. That was until 2 weeks ago. Now my only choice is to import into the folders below. C. drive - where all my digi camera pics are - is no longer there. How do I get L/R import to recognise my hard drive again

With regards to your other problem, you have too many icons on your Desktop (seriously, this is a known bug). Either clean up the desktop and your drives will reappear, or start typing the full path to your folder in the Folder box at the bottom of that browser box and that should work also.
You could also try the full-screen Import window as well, the Destination Panel in the right-hand column may work differently....

I still can't get rid of the photo stream!!!

Okay so it's almost 2014 and I'm still figure it out how to get rid of this so annoying thing called photo stream, why is even evented ****! So I'm running ios 7, I've turn it off the photo stream from every device a half a year ago, I said to that thing delete them all, and they were still here but I hoped that for 30 days waiting will be gone but nothing happened even 6 months later. I think I gave it enough time to disappear! Why is still here?? Gosh, why?!! I can't delete it by myself using no matter what device, I've resetted icloud, I've tried every possible way, it's so frustrating! It says Photo Stream from My Computer, but there is not such a thing on windows, because I've deleted it like I said!
Somebody please have mercy on me!

Understood, and that's my biggest complaint with apple, the lack of configuration in many places where it would be beneficial.
They should have added the switch when they added the feature, in the exact same way that they added the switches for both the calendar and the Notes application, and the archive messages feature. They rarely if ever admit mistakes, and even if they saw this lack of ability to disable the inboxes as a mistake, I don't imagine they will ever fix it. But I can still ask, and I can still raise it as an issue.

I recently got a new iPad Mini and that came with free iWorks. When I try to add a picture only one of my seven photo streams will load, whats up?

So I have most pictures in different photo streams from my other devices. When I try to add a picture to my slide, only one photo stream will show and the one that shows isn't even created by me, if that matters. I have turned off the Photo option on my iCloud and turned it back on. Have tried closing apps, still nothing.

You should post this in the iOS discussion where folk who use the iPad can help you, this is Keynote for Mac.

Why I cannot turn off the iPad at first attempt?

I got my iPad few weeks back (32GB + 3G).
The only strange thing I encounter so far is may be 4 out of 5 times, when I tried to turn off the iPad, it will jump back to the lock screen again.
On the second attempt then I can turn off the iPad.
What could be the problem? should I send in for a replacement?

HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
Perhaps you have an app running. Try force quitting.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
If that doesn't make a difference, reset your iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds until you see the Apple logo.
Make sure your iPad software is up to date. Connect the iPad to your computer. Launch iTunes if it doesn't open automatically. Under the Summary tab click: Check for Update

HT201317 How do I move photos that were taken when photo stream was turned off into the photo stream on my iPad2?

How do I move photos that were taken when photo stream was turned off into the photo stream on my iPad2?

You will need to do that by syncing them with a computer and then syncing the computer with the iPad.

IPhoto will not let me close, force quit, or turn off the computer because it says it is "importing photos" when it isn't. How do I fix it?

Thank you- so simple, and it worked!

I turn off the phone will not turn to dear, I need the photos emergencies because there I have very important information. That I can do to recover photos. I understand that you had downloaded the iCloud but when I Icloud not appear on photos.

Through iTunes, plug it in and you should be able to do a iCloud restore
