Need Help with iclould on ios device

I'm new to the community and tried to find the answer without asking but no luck.  My iPhone 4s has been backing my photos to icloud for past 4 days.  It looks like most of them are there but tells me I have over 500 more to go, and when I signed into icloud on my pc and clicked on the photos icon today, I got an error message that says my photos has stopped responding and an error prevented this application from working properly.   If I end icloud backup  will I lose my photos or will they still be on my iPhone?  This has slowed my computer so much that I had to disable wifi to write this message.  I do have iTunes 12 and I see where I can do backups to both icloud and iTunes but can both be going on at the same time?  My iPhone is 4S with version 8.1.2.  Will appreciate any help as I don't want to lose my new grandbaby's pics.

OK, if you are seeing the error on the iCloud control panel under Photos Beta, then you are looking at the iCloud Photo Library option. In looking at the support site info, it does indicate that if you max out your storage it will stop uploading photos:
iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
I am not running Yosemite on my Mac, so I do not have this feature fully available to me, so I'm not using it. What I'm not 100% sure about is whether the photos on your device are considered "originals". If they are, then you can safely turn off iCloud Photo Library and import your photos to your PC the old fashioned way:
IMPORTING PHOTOS - WINDOWS/MAC
You also can purchase additional iCloud storage if you think that the photos you have uploaded have maxed out your iCloud storage (remember, the amount of storage being used includes backups). You can check the amount of storage you are using by going to Settings>General>Usage and under the iCloud section it should show you how much storage you are using and how much you have remaining. I can tell you that I have around 975 photos on my iPhone, and with the videos, they take up over 10 GB of storage on my iCloud backup. So, it is possible you have maxed out your available storage. The first link tells you how to get more storage so that you don't have to reset or redo anything. Once the storage is upgraded, it sounds like it will then upload the remainder of your photos. I wouldn't go with less than 200 GB if you are going to be uploading a lot of photos.
Cheers,
GB

    if you got into the bios/uefi and have determined that the hdd is being detected then that is good.  At least the hdd is operating to some extent, although still may be corrupt OS or the like.
    Eagle asked you what OS your using (i.e., Windows 8.1 64-bit, Windows 7 32-bit, etc.).  I see that English is not your native language so we'll just have to work with that as best we can. 
    Did you make any changes to the operating system (OS) as a result of the link you posted, and what were they?

  • I need help with IPHOne 4s IOS 7.0.4 battery life not improving

    Alright, I Ned help with my iPhone 4S battler life, it is horrible, it will drain in about 12 hours. All I do is check my email, text a few people, and check a few apps. When I may school, it is a hundred percent, then I check it during school etc, when I go to bed it is about 20-30% battery life. Need help. Any suggestions? I tried a hard resets and restoring to a new iPhone etc, nothing worked.

    I"m not at all sure what is the problem when you are describing your battery as holding its charge for 12 hours???
    How long do you want your device to hold its battery charge???
    Please see this article for tips on conserving battery charge. But PLEASE if you are looking for a device to hold its charge for LONGER than 12 hours I would suggest an android.

  • I just bought my MacBook Pro 13" and I tried to install an anti virus but then it went into a grey folder with a question mark I need help with restoring the iOS please

    I need help taking out the grey folder with the question mark and I've try everything except the CD thing because my MacBook didn't come with one so I really need help please

    What anti-virus software did you install? Although there's a lot of bad anti-virus software out there, no anti-virus software should cause such a problem. A gray screen with a flashing question mark on a folder means that no bootable system could be found, which means that the system was badly damaged or corrupt. Even installing bad software would not normally cause that, so either there was something badly wrong with the system already or the anti-virus software you tried to install was really, really bad!
    As mende1 says, you need to reinstall the system at this point. After your system is back up and running, read my Mac Malware Guide. If, after reading that, you want anti-virus software, use one of the programms recommended in that guide.

  • Need Help backing up multiple iOS devices to one Windows PC computer

    So, first off, let me say that I have been scouring these forum posts as well as reading many google search results for what I am about to ask here, but I have not been able to find a definitive answer as to go about what I am trying to accomplish.
    Some background – we are using 2 iphones both using the same Apple ID.  We have no need to create separate Apple IDs as this has been working just fine for us for the past 3-4 years.  Everything from text messaging, facetime, to purchases I have setup just the way we like it and we have no issues with anything conflicting.
    So, here goes.
    I would like to use one Windows computer using the same user account on said PC to be able to backup both my iphone and my wifes iphone.
    Here is the issue I am running into.  I have used iTunes to backup my wifes iphone and all went as expected.  What I then tried to do was plug my iphone into the computer and attempt to backup my iphone but problem is, I get only the option to setup the phone as new or restore from my wifes backup, neither of which I want to do.
    So, I thought about using the trick to create another library by holding down the Shift Key while starting iTunes and then selecting Create new library.  But when I then plug in my iphone and fire up and select the newly created library to backup my iphone to, I still get only get the option to either setup as new or backup from my wifes iphone.
    Am I doing something wrong when creating this new library or is what I am trying to do not possible.
    I know I can create another user account on the PC and the backup will then work just fine as I had to do it this way for a family member because I could not get the second library option to work the way I am trying to make it work.
    In this post I created, https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6652211 I got no responses that helped me figure this out.
    So, if anyone can set me straight on how to use iTunes to backup my devices using the same PC user account with all Apple devices using the same Apple ID I would greatly appreciate it.
    Step by step would really be helpful if it is at all possible.
    - Dan

    There are experts here with far greater knowledge than I
    but here goes
    This is where windows stores the iTunes back up files
    Windows Vista and Windows 7:
    \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    So - if you cut the file and paste it elsewhere (Desktop or Documents or a flash drive) - will the iTunes be fooled into creating a second one?
    Of course you would have to label them well in case you need to retrieve them later - but I guess worth a try
    If it does not work you can always plop the prior files back to where you pinched them from
    Please let us know
    Thanks

  • Need help with instllation for IOS 9

    Can anyone help me with installing Reader for IOS 9?  I don't see this version (Mavericks) listed as a system requirement for Adobe Reader installation.  (Also, i've just created an acct with Adobe and don't understand why I've been directed 2-3 times to different pages to ask this question, very frustrtaing and tedious....)

    There isn't an iOS 9, we're up to iOS 7 on iPad, iPhone and iPod. Perhaps you mean Mac OS 10.9 (Mavericks)?

  • Need help with colors in iOS 7

    The whites of the OS are simply overpowering.  If I don't turn the brightness down to less than 15%, I get headaches from the whites.  But if I turn it down that low then I have to strain to make out everything else on the screen, which give me a different kind of headache. Searching for any relief, I even tried Invert Colors.  That helps greatly, but it inverts the colors in everything, not just the base OS.
    Is there any way at all to control the colors of the OS elements themselves?  Just being able to tone down the whites might allow me to use my iPad again. For that matter, can I simply roll back to iOS 6 and solve my vision problems that way?

    no to all.

  • Hi, I need help with my iphone four bought in England but I live in Italy, I upgraded IOS six and now I can not read more than the Italian card, how can I contact a service center via email?

    Hi, I need help with my iphone four bought in England but I live in Italy, I upgraded IOS six and now I can not read more than the Italian card, how can I contact a service center via email?

    Only the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Sounds like the phone was hacked to unlock it originally. Find out what carrier it is locked to, and look up their contact information using google or the search engine of your choice.

  • Do I need internet access on my iOS devices to enroll with Profile Manager?

    Hi, I'm trying to configure Profile Manager on a closed network. The Mac Server does have Internet access, but the network for the iOS devices can only have communication with the server, but not to the internet because of company policies. Is there a way around to make it work or do I need internet access on the iOS devices as well?
    I've made the enrollment process in another network with internet access for every device and everything works well, but on the other network(no internet for iOS devices)  everything seems ok (from conection to the server, profile certifiacation and stuf) but the devices can't send or receive anything else, like pushed configurations and device info. Ports and everything is ok, I even read that they need to be on an open network so I know it all comes down to having internet access, but just wanted to ask if there's another way around?? Suggestions?
    Thanks!

    You can share internet connection with your XP-PC using a router(as I do with XP-old MAC's,connected via cable).You may look for more info at:

    What generation of iPod touch do you have? If you don't know, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353
    If you have an first-generation iPod touch, it can only go to iOS 3.1.3 and hence will not run the Facebook app. If you have a second-generation iPod touch, see:
