IPhoto data in my iCloud account

I recently had some major space issues with iCloud and had to spent the night cleaning out my Mac and Mail to create enough space. In doing this, I have found that 2.1Gb of my 5Gb allowance is taken up by iPhoto data, but I can't tell what this data is, where it is coming from or how to reduce it. Can anyone shed any light on this?
Below I have taken a screen shot of what I see in the Manage Storage window. To clarify, I have uninstalled iPhoto from my devices, I have sync'd and deleted all the images on my camera roll. I have deleted a bunch of photos from My Photo Stream just to check (even though all the literature says My Photo Stream does not count toward iCloud data storage). So I am at a loss, I am hesitant to delete this data without knowing what it is, but at the same time I can't find what the source is to verify that it is not something I want to keep.
Any ideas appreciated. Thanks

Did you perhaps create and Web Journals or Slideshows with iPhoto? If you did not delete any Journals Slideshows from iCloud before uninstalling iPhoto, they may still be there and taking up space.

How can I restore data from my iCloud account on a new iPhone 5c with a previous SW version that my old (stolen) iPhone 5?

Hello everybody,
I need help to restore data from my iCloud account on an unused iPhone 5c because my iPhone 5 with a newer iOS update was stolen. When I try I get a message that I cannot retore my data because the iOS on my iPhone 5c is an older version than on the stolen iPhone 5.
There must be a way to do this. I hope to hear from you
thanks!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You cannot. However, you can solve this problem by setting the iPhone as a new device and upgrading iOS in Settings -> Software Update.
After upgrading iOS, open Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings. Finally, Setup Assistant will let you restore the backup.

How do i deleat data in my icloud account?

Rather the buy more storeage, how do I delete data in my icloud account and or start over?

Hello,
The majority of the space that is being used on your iCloud account is being used by the backup of your device. When your device, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup>Manage Storage. Turn off any applications that you do not need to have backed up, or turn off backup in general in Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup.

How can I remove safari data from shared iCloud account?

Before iOS 8 and family sharing I was using a single iCloud account shared among several Apple devices in my household. Now that we are all using our own separate Apple Accounts I want to delete shared data from other devices that were using my iCloud account. For example, my wife and I both have data synched with iCloud (the same account) for Safari. Now that her phone has been switched over to her own AppleID, I want to purge the data stored in my icloud account from her device. When I open Safari on my phone, I can see a list at the bottom of tabs that my wife had open on her phone at one time in the past. That list will never get updated now that she is using her own account. So how do I purge old data from other devices off my iCloud account?

If she's on a different account now, Safari data from the previous account should no longer be on her device. iCloud tabs, on the other hand, will persist from a device that is no longer sharing the account for 14 days, after which they are automatically cleared. (This is coming from iCloud, not from her device.) You might try waiting a couple of weeks and see if they aren't automatically removed.
If you're still concerned, you could always ask her to go to Settings>Safari and tap Clear History and Website Data. This won't clear her iCloud tabs from your device though; you'll have to wait for that.

IPhoto, two users, two iCloud accounts

I am trying to come up with the best solution to a problem and I am a bit stumped. Hope somone here can help me. Bought a MacBook a few months ago and love it. I like iPhoto as well. My wife and I both have a user account on the computer and in each account, there is an iPhoto library configured with our respective iCloud accounts to pull our photos from our iPhones. So far so good.
When we import photos from our regular camera, I use Image Capture to import them to a central spot on the SSD. I then open iPhoto and import those pictures. Then I have to switch user accounts and do the same import in my wife's iPhoto library, since she wants the photos as well. This is a bit cumbersome. I could share an iPhoto library between us in the Shared folder, but then we can only have one iCloud account synced with iPhoto. We each need our own iCloud account configured so that we can pull our pictures from our iPhones with ease. Does anyone have a suggestion for streamlining the import process from our regular camera?
Thanks!

Go to iPhoto Preferences and turn on Sharing.
Go to the Pictures folder of each user account, select the iPhoto Library and on the keyboard hit "command" + "i".
In the iPhoto Library Info window that appears, under the "Sharing & Permissions:" pane, add each other with the "+" and give each othe "Read & Write" priveleges.
Now you should be able to see and grab the photos you desire from the other user's library while you are in your iPhoto application.
I think.

Can I send data from one icloud account to another

Can I send spreedsheets from one icloud account to another?

Have you tried attaching them to an email?

My iPad had a problem and I had to get another one. I am tring to restore all my data from my iCloud account and it has taken 19 hours so far. Am I doing something wrong?

My iPad Air had to be replaced i went to the apple store to get a new one. we started the download at the store and I returned home to finish downloading from my iCloud account and it has taken 19 hours so far. Am I doing something wrong?

Hey Calpalm99,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues restoring an iCloud backup. Don't worry, it doesn't sound like you are doing anything wrong, rather it may be that the connection was interrupted after you left Wi-Fi and returned home. To troubleshoot, you can try restoring your backup once more or see the information in this resource:

Iphoto and deleting incorrect iCloud account

Can i transfer data from my icloud account to another person's icloud account?

I would like to transfer some sound files from my icloud to another person's. How do I do that?

If you mean music, you can't. It's permanently tied to your ID cannot be transferred to another.

My daughter's data has been put on my icloud account. I cannot hook up to the icloud wihtout getting all her info on my phone. i would like to delete the account and start over or find a way to remove her info

Without realizing it, my daughter and I are both using my icloud account for our phones. Now I cannot go to the cloud without importing all of my daughter's data to my phone. Is there any way to remove her data from the icloud account or delete the account and start over? I plan on wiping her phone clean and having her create her own account with her own email address

Be sure she signs out of your account before wiping her phone. Also, make sure Find my iPhone is disabled before you wipe it..
Unfortunately, since you have "merged" her data with yours, you will need to delete each unwanted item individually. If you delete the account, when you sign back in with the same account the same data will be synched back from iCloud.

Is iPhoto able to accommodate two iCloud accounts

My daughter and I both have the iPhone 4s. We both have seperate iCloud accounts but we use the same computer. We both want our photos backed up into iphoto but I can only seem to log in 1 icloud account on my mac and only that phone has it's photos backed up. Is there any way iPhoto can have 2 icloud accounts backed up?

No. I would suggest using the old fashioned USB cable to iTunes on the comptuter for one of the phones. Or, the ideal is to set up your daughter with her own account on the Mac, than she can set up her iCloud account there.

How can I transfer "notes" from one icloud account to another, and other account questions

Hey,
I currently have 2 icloud accounts. (In total I have 4 seperate apple ids somehow, 1 @me.com, 1 @icloud.com, 1 @gmail.com, and 1 apple id. But that's a problem I'll talk about later).
Right now, all of my notes got deleted from my iphone, but they are on the icloud account A: (@me.com account's icloud.) When I reconnect this account to my iphone, the notes are there. However, when I turn off note syncing in my iphone's icloud settings, I'm not prompted to "keep data on iphone" (like I am prompted with contacts). Instead, they are just deleted from the iphone. So there's no way to connect the icloud account A, download the data, and reconnect icloud account B.
How can I get these notes from icloud account A to icloud account B (or just getting it from icloud account A to my iphone.)
And while I'm at it, how can I get the @icloud account that was linked with the @me.com account to get linked to the @gmail.com account.
Sorry if this is confusing.

Let me rephrase my comment... I used Windows to sync my data without icloud, we decided to switch to mac and purchased a $2000 osx driven machine only to find out apple has "secretly" disabled mobile sync services and replaced it with icloud syncing. There was NO documentation stating this fact before my purchase, it was only realized when users started running into syncing issues that apple disclosed mavericks no longers uses mobile syncing services and "requires you to use icloud to sync device information" on this forum.
They removed a integral part of my privacy without telling me, or warning me, before i spent money on non-refundable merchandice.
These are not mindless, I was forced into mavericks when i purchased a new mac... All other versions of OSX provide modile syncing services.
And I was not threatening lawsuit, i was stating a thought that this leavs apple open to a lawsuit for people who want their data kept private, they are FORCING the use of icloud now.

HT204053 can I have multiple icloud accounts for one apple id?

I have multiple people in my family using our original apple id . As they have gotten iphones, macbooks, etc they register there devices under our originale apple id. over the holidays when my youngest child got her ipod touch and registered it for icloud, two of the children now are seeing each others texts? Is there a way to use the same apple id for the family and have seperate icloud accounts for each person or should we have a seperate apple id for each person?

Yes but the issue with receiving each other's text messages is not being caused by sharing the same iCloud account. To fix this, each person needs to be using a separate Apple ID for iMessage on their devices. (Note: you can continue to use the same iTunes account on all your devices but each person should use a different ID for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime). There are a couple of things you need to do to sort all this out.
First decide who will be keeping the current ID for all services. On the device(s) belonging to the other people in your family, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the Apple ID, sign out, then sign back in with a saparate ID for each person. After doing so you will no longer be getting each other's messages on your devices.
Next, to avoid getting each other's FaceTime calls, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
For iCloud, to avoid having merged data by syncing with the same iCloud account you will need to migrate each person to their own iCloud account. To do this, first decide who will be keeping the current account. On the other devices go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from the device, not from iCloud. The device(s) that will be keeping the current account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My [iDevice]. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID on the device(s) belonging to each person. Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, to un-merge the data in your iCloud accounts you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting the other person's contacts from your account, and vice versa).

Recently, I discovered I have two iCloud accounts. Is it possible to change the Apple ID from one account to match the second account, without losing the information on each account?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It's a little tricky to move data from one iCloud account to another but it can be done. But what makes you think you have 2 iCloud accounts.

HT5621 I changed my apple ID on my laptop and I can no longer sync calendars from my iphone4s to the Macbook. I went to settings and when I open iCloud account settings, my old apple id is grayed out and I can't tap it to change it. Any suggestions??

I changed my apple ID on my Macbook but I am unable to sync calendar from my iphone 4s. When I go to settings in the phone, my old ID is there, but it is greyed out and I can't change it. I was able to change the app store ID, but the one in iCloud settings seems stuck. Any suggestions??

You need to use the old ID and password to delete the iCloud account. After you delete the old account, you can sign in with the new ID in iCloud.
Have you seen this.

iCloud
iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.
