My iPhone 6 plus is a 16G, and my photos and camera is taking all my storage. Does icloud keep my photos in tack, if I delete them off my phone?

I have an Iphone6 plus and my photos are taking all my storage. I can't update or download anything, what to do?

Actually iCloud doesn't keep your photos until you back up your iPhone to iCloud: tap Settings > iCloud > Backup > enable Backup and tap Back Up Now. However, I have to tell you that iCloud backup file only contains your photos on your iPhone Camera Roll and can't be viewed unless you restore your iPhone with the backup file. For photos in Photo Library, you need to find a third-party tool to copy them to your computer. In a word, in my opinion, you'd better import photos to your computer: Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support

How can I transfer all my photos on iPhone to iCloud for archive and delete them off my phone?

I do not want to simply backup my phone with iCloud. My iPhone's memory is full and I would like to transfer all my 10,000+ photos to iCloud for safe keeping, and delete them off my phone. Could I do that? I know that iCloud is typically used for backing up the phone and works like a 'mirror' to the phone, but I want to use it more as an archive drive. Please advise!

The only iCloud feature that meets this requirement is the iCloud Photo Library (Beta). I don't think that I would trust all my photos to a Beta-level product.
You could create a Dropbox Account and move the photos to it or move the photos to your computer.

HT204407 i have had a new i phone and transferred my contacts to iclouds only this has put them on my moms iphone. she has deleted them off her phone and so i no longer have my contacts as they have deleted off my phone also. please is there anything i

my mom has deleted my contacts off her phone it has deleted them off my phone also as she was linked to icloud is there anything i can do

You can only restore them from a backup. This has occurred because you are sharing an iCloud account. ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, that way you can each manage your own mail, contacts, calendars, documents etc and avoid unintentional deletions and unwanted editing. If there is information you wish to share between you, this can be done with a secondary account.
Having separate iCloud accounts, doesn't mean you have to have separate iTunes accounts, so whilst you keep your personal data separate, you can continue to share music, apps, books, TV shows, movies etc.

At the present time, the only way to clear that is to restore the phone as new. Perhaps a future iOS update will give us the option to clear that cache.

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.

When i got my iphone, itunes imported pictures on to my iphone that i dont want on there and i cant delete them off my phone by using my phone so how do i delete them through itunes

how do i delete pictures off my iphone through itunes??

The same way you got them there. The sync process.
Deselect the folder and sync.
or
Delete the foklder form your computer and sync.
or
Delete the phtos from your computer and sync.
or
Remove the photo from the selected folder on your computer and sync.
The iphone simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.

If my photos back up to the iCloud and then I delete them off my phone when it backs up again will those photos be deleted?

I need to delete my pictures off of my iPhone for storage purposes. But I'm afraid that if they get backed up to the iCloud that once I delete them when it backs up again the photos will get deleted. Does anyone know if the photos will always be in the iCloud once backed up or if I delete them after backing them up will they than get deleted after it backs up again?

They will be deleted. The new backup will overwrite the backup containing the deleted photos with one that doesn't and they will be lost. Do as AnaMusic says and import them to your computer.

Why can't I import photos saved onto my iphone hard drive onto my computer to delete them off my phone?

Every time I try to import photos onto iphoto I am only allowed to import photos I have taken on my iphone 5s, but not from my previous phone. I cannot upgrade my phone because I have so many photos on it. I want to delete the photos that were transferred onto my iphone from my previous phone, but I can't find them using my laptop.

I am struggling with similar difficulties.
I use an iMac G5 (Power PC) and a Canon PowerShot G6, which have been compatible with each other for 14 months. A couple of weeks ago, the Canon's rechargable battery ran low and, instead of connecting the camera to the iMac via the USB cable, I removed the SanDisk CompactFlash Ultra II card and imported photos on it via a SanDisk upload USB device. [The G6 manual recommends connecting the camera only when the battery is fully charged.] After the battery recharged, I took more photos and tried to upload them via the original Canon-supplied USB cable, but iPhoto did not launch. Because the camera turns on and indicates it's connected , I know it's not the USB cable [I actually ordered a new one, but the results are the same]. I've tried reformatting the SanDisk card in the camera, but this hasn't corrected the problem. However, if I connect the SanDisk device with card to the USB hub, iPhoto launches, identifying the device as "CANON_DC", complete with the little "eject" icon.
What am I forgetting? What would be the next step? Reinstalling the Canon software?

Iwhy can I not figure out how to view my I cloud account on my acer iconia tab? I need to be sure that all my pics are online so that I can delete them off my phone for the space. do i have to sign in on an actual computer first? I own iPhone

is there any way to sync all my pictures to my acericonia tablet from my iphone?

whichever app store you are connecting to, hyou need a credit card with an address in that country. Also, itunes gift cards must be in local currency too.
If you are in japan, you need to use the japan app store

Hi, I've upgraded my iCloud storage and uploaded 3000+ photos. Can I safely delete them from my phone and still access them from the cloud? Thank you

Hey linsfrombrandon,
The closest you will get to have your photos live in iCloud and not taking as much storage space on your iPhone is by using iCloud Photo Library. What it does is makes your Photos live in iCloud but also appear on your iPhone and other iOS devices and computers. It will be the exact same so any changes will be reflected everywhere. When they are on your iPhone, there is an option to use a compressed version. Take a look at the FAQs page and let me know if you have any other questions before making this decision to turn this on. I would also make sure that you have a safe copy of your photos before moving forward.

I bought iPhone 6 Plus few days ago and I have the following problems:
1) When entering through Safary to Google Images and tap on each one of them they do not enlarge nor I am able by click on them to enter into their connected website
2) When I receive an e-mail with images I cannot easily save them in my gallery. It needs more than 10 tabs to the window "save this image" or "save all 3 images" and if I am lucky it saves one image. This is very frustrating, I loose a lot of time trying and affects my job.
I would highly apreciate any help
Kind Regards

In my case, i just go to Settings->Itunes & App Store and Sign Out and Sign In again. Then enable all Automatic Downloads (Music, Apps, Books, Updates).
PS: Enable all automatic downloads may not be necessary.
Good luck.

You will have to contact the previous owner, only he/she can remove the phone from their account. You don't have any contact details for the person that you bought the phone from, email address, phone number, postal address ? If you can't contact them then you won't be able to reactivate and use the phone.
