Import pictures from iCloud

Hi I have an Issue
My partner has just upgraded to Iphone 5s from Iphone 4s. He went to Vodafone store and they transfered his contacts to new phone.  He wants to get his pictures from Iphone 4S to Iphone 5s he has done icloud back up of Iphone 4 s.
is there a way yo import pictures from icloud with out messing up all settings and contacts?
I am unsure myself I thought it would be as easy as plug in usb and copy and paste like most phones.
Any answers i would be greatful
<Edited By Host>

If his pictures are backup to icloud, then he will need to restore his phone from that backup, to get it back from his phone.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519?viewlocale=en_US
If he still has his old phone he can import those pics to his computer http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083  then he can sync those pics to his new phone http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

    Hello citcatprincess,
    Importing the photos from iCloud is relatively easy. I would first take a look at the first article that will walk you through with making copies of your Photos as well as other data from iCloud if you need it. The one piece that you will need is iCloud for Windows so that way photos will sync up for you.  
    Archive or make copies of your iCloud data

  • I updated my Macbook Pro last week to Lion.  I went to go import pictures from a memory card to my iPhoto, but only a portion of them loaded before my iPhoto froze and I had to Force Quit it. Now iPhoto won't even open... Help!

    Please! I need an answer fast!!!!

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • How can I import pictures from my iphone to PC which I imported to the iphone from another PC? The folder doesn't show on my computer. I see all other pictures I took with the phone but not the imported folder.

    Photos that were synced from a computer won't show for copying to a computer. If you want to copy them back then you will need a third-party app on your phone such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to a device, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer (e.g. their dimensions might be different and their colours may look a bit different).

  • HT2373 how can i import contacts from icloud

    I just bought an Macbook Air and need to import Contacts from icloud. What is the easiest way to do this.

    Go to System Preferences iCloud pane.  Sign In using your Apple ID.  Make sure Contacts is checked to the right, along with anything else you want to keep synced.
    Open Address Book, and your contacts from iCloud are already there.

  • How do I download pictures from icloud backup to a new device

    I just bought a new iPad yesterday because my iPhone was stolen a few weeks ago.  That phone was backed up to iCloud.  How do I get the pictures from iCloud back up to my new iPad?  I heard there is a short time period to retrieve them and I may be out of luck but need to try.  Any help will be much appreciated.

    Thank you for helping me.  Technology is not my strong suit.  I will explain how I got into this situation and then maybe there is another way to recover these photos:
    I finally decided to upgrade my unlocked Canadian iPhone 3 to a 4S here in California.
    The AT&T store personnel had a hard time getting the photos from the 3 to the 4S directly so they downloaded the photos from the 3 onto a computer and then to the 4S.  I apologize, I'm not sure how to see if the photos are in the Photo Stream but I know they were on the Camera Roll.
    After getting home, I was having issues downloading from iTunes. I think it was because the 3 was originally from Canada so the 4S kept sending me to the Canadian iTunes store when trying to log on.  We decided to wait and take the phone to an Apple store to get help however the phone was stolen shorty thereafter.
    A couple of days ago we bought an iPad and thought we should try and recover the photos from that phone.  We had some friends who live in Canada access the account and switch it over to recognize that it is a US account.
    My wife did set up iCloud on the 4S.  So we assumed the phone was backing up everything, including the Camera Roll, when charging.  Possibly not so.
    My wife is pretty sure the photo stream was on as we didn't change any of the settings after getting it.
    I would appreciate an ideas you may have.
    Thank you & kind regards,
    Doug

  • When I try to import pictures from media card to iPhoto, I'm getting the error 'The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format.'  The file is a jpeg and I've never had this problem before.

    When I try to import pictures from media card to iPhoto, I'm getting the error 'The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format.'  The file is a jpeg and I've never had this problem before.

    What version of iPhoto?
    What colour profile is the shot?
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • How do I import pictures from computer files more than one at a time ?

    I recieved the adobe photoshop elements 10 for x mas and no problems with downloading the program but i am having a time importing pictures from my computer files taken from various camaras. the problem is that i can only import pictures from my files 1 at a time. what do i do ? is there a specific tutoral i need to watch ? I know i'm doing something wrong i just don't know, please help Kev

    Welcome to the forum.
    You should be able to use the Shift, or Ctrl modifier keys, to select multiple files, and Import them.
    Now, for Stills, I would strongly suggest that you Scale those Still Images to about the Frame Size of the Project, prior to Import.
    Good luck,

  • Window 8.1 is not allowing Elements Organizer 11 to import pictures from SD card into Organizer

    After installing Windows 8.1, I am no longer able to import pictures from SD card into Organizer as Elements simply stops working after Import from Card reader is selected. Obviously I am shutdown from importing pictures.

    Windows 8.1 is not allowing Elements Organizer 11 to import pictures from SD Card in card reader into Elements Organizer. The Elements Program goes to a blue circle and the program times out.
    I have:
    Tried different SD cards
    Tried different card readers,
    I can import off files or folders. However card reader does not show up on this menu within Elements.
    There is obviously some workaround that could be contemplated BUT Elements Organizer cannot import from SD card in card reader and this is a very inconvenient situation.  It worked fine in Windows 8.0.
    I would appreciate a reply. Thank you.

    It sounds like you have some photos you have imported to your computer that you would like to sync to your phone. This article should help you navigate to, and configure photo syncing from iTunes to your device:

  • HT201302 When I am trying to import pictures from my iphone to PC, I get the message'No new pictures of videos were found on this device'. There are lots of pictures which i can see on the iphone. I have a 4S. Is there a way to get around that?

    It sounds like you are using an application to import. You can do it manually.
    Start > Computer (on the right) > scroll to the bottom and you will see your iPhone under Portable Devices > Open it and you will see a Drive, open that and there will be a DCIM folder. That is where your photos will be (There may be other folders each holding photos).

  • HT5622 My wife and I traded iPhones so I deleted her iCloud account and put mine in but I don't have my pictures what do I do to retrieve my pictures from iCloud

    Need help getting my pictures from ICloud I already signed I to my new phone but I can't see them on my phone

    There are a lot of misconceptions about Apple's iCloud-based Photo Stream service. Allan Sampson's advice is the best place to start to resolve your issue.
    I recently wrote an article on my blog that serves as an overview of Photo Stream. I created based on a startling conversation I had with a co-worker who routinely deleted photos from their phone believing that iCloud was a limitless backup service. Ouch!

  • How can I import pictures from my computer to iTunes without losing my iPhone pictures?

    Hey
    I'm wondering how I can import pictures from iTunes to my iPhone. I have taken pictures with a camera, not my iPhone camera. And I got the pictures on my computer, just don't know how to import them to my itunes and then to my iPhone. And I also don't want to lose all my iPhone pictures in my camera roll when I do this.
    Thanks

    Camera Roll is the folder on your iPhone which kept all the photos taken from your iPhone Camera or Photos received and saved from your email attachments.  They will remain in that folder until you delete them.  You may, however, import these photos to your Computer if you want to.
    Refer to this article:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    Now the other way round, if you want your Photos from your Computer(whether it's taken from other Digital camera or photos already on your computer) to be transferred to iPhone, you have to sync them over like I mentioned in the first reply.
