Re: my pictures automaticly downloaded to icloud

I don't think that reference addresses iOS 8, which is what we're working with today.
In fact, I'm not entirely sure where the iCloud Drive is (on my iPad) and where my Photos are (in that "drive"). I've still got all my photos on my iPad, after updating to iOS 8 (about 4,000 of them), but I still can't find iCloud Drive or my Photos on that iCloud Drive, even though I enabled iCloud DrI've when setting up iOS 8.

Hello there, haroldfromportland.
The following Knoweldge Base article offers up some great information on how to turn on your photostream on you iPhone:

    Where do my photo stream pictures save on my pc, when they are automatically downloaded from icloud?

    I do not have the possibility to turn my photo stream on, that is the problem. Check the picture i attached.

  • I recently upgraded my 4s to a 5s. the verizon store took my old phone for a trade in. i cannot get any of my pictures to download from icloud. my photo stream folder only has a small percentage of the photos in it. any help would be greatly appreciated.

    That's possible if he didn't connect to a WiFi hotspot after taking them.  I don't think the "Personal" Photo Stream uploads over Cellular, unless they changed it since the last time I used it.
    If that's the case, then the photos likely didn't upload to Photo Stream and are stuck on the phone.
    And you're not going to be able to get them back, either.

  • ICloud and iTunes, cannot get the check boxes to stay checked under  preferences for iTunes to keep automatic downloads for iCloud, how can I fix this?

    When using my iPhone and Macbook with iTunes, I cannot get the checkboxes to stay checked in iTunes to use the automatic downloads for iCloud.  It is so frustrating. I check box them and hit ok under store preferences for iTunes, and when I go back in, they are unchecked. I am so excited to use iCloud with my iPhone downloads and it is not working, if I can't get it to work with this, I am never going to get it to work for documents.  Please help.

    Hey man. Did you ever get a solution to this problem? I spent an hour on the phone with AppleCare yesterday, and am going to have to call them back when I get home from work today. It's driving me bonkers!!

  • HT201269 pictures wont download from icloud to new device

    Majority of pictures from Camera Roll are not downloading to new device from icloud backup.

    Are these photos backed up on your PC?   (they should be - regularly)
    If not, try restoring from your backup again.   You'd have to erase all content and settings and start over.

  • How can pictures be downloaded from iCloud storage to a PC?

    I had a lot of problems with my iPhone 4S that appeared immediately after my warranty expired. My phone was not recognized by any other computers or devices--not just by iTunes, but by the computer itself. I tried every fix for that, but was unsuccessful. This meant that I had thousands of pictures stored on my device with no really good way to get them off. I tried a Dropbox app, but attempting to upload 7000 pictures at once kept crashing it and I didn't have time to deal with it manually. Basically, 10 of the 16G of storage on my phone was devoted to pictures, and when iOS8 dropped, I didn't have enough memory to update. I finally received my new iPhone 6 today, a year after those problems started, and paid to upgrade my iCloud storage. I then spent about 8 hours letting everything, including all of my pictures, backup to the cloud. After all that, my iCloud account on the computer said that I couldn't view the pictures unless I upgraded my device to iOS8, which kind of messed up the entire plan. I decided though that since both my phone and PC desktop iCloud account said that I had 10G of pictures in the cloud, it was there, so I'd just access everything when I activated my iPhone 6. Well, now I have my iPhone 4S off and my new phone set up, with every possible photo sharing option turned on everywhere I could find but online and on my phone, it says the pictures are "in there" but that my iCloud photos and drive are empty, so I can't actually view or access them! What gives?! My new phone is working fine, but I'd rather not lose over 7000 pictures!

    UPDATE: all that is in my drive is my "Mail" accounts and a BACKUP when I go to manage data. Is there any way to get photos a set of backup data if they were not added picture by picture to the photo stream? When I click on the options for the Photo Steam in iCloud, nothing happens (because it thinks it's empty, I'm assuming). Are these now a different file type that is inaccessible? The device on which these were taken and are stored is deactivated so I cannot use cellular data on it anymore.

  • HT202180 is pictures automatically saved in iCloud if it connected with wifi and settings on icloud is on

    i sold my iphone 4s and it reset to new iphone..but my icloud account is already turned on..i saw in settings that pictures on iphone would be automaticaly saved in icloud when its connected to wifi..if its true, then how to restore it on my ipad?i really need this pictures..thanks for helping me.

    If you had iCloud backup turn ON then you photos would have been saved to iCloud.
    You can use the iCloud backup to restore a new iPhone when you set it up.

  • Pictures not downloading from iCloud restore shows downloading but no pics

    Need help I just upgraded fron iPhone 4 to 5s updated from cloud everything worked great but it's been 24 hrs and it still says downloading pics any help would be great

    iPods (except for iPod touch) cannot access iCloud directly, even if you subscribe to iTunes Match.  The song files needs to be in the local library of the computer the iPod syncs to.  Are you saying that once you subscribed to iTunes Match, and matched or uploaded your iTunes music library songs into "the cloud," you deleted your local copies of ALL of your song files?
    If you are going to re-sync the iPod from empty, you may want to do a Restore on it, in case there is existing data corruption on the iPod's storage.  This will erase the iPod and re-install its software, giving it a fresh start.

  • My songs aren't automatically downloading from icloud

    i turned on automatic update and it is not working.

    You might try restoring the backup again; sometimes it works the second time.  Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings to get back to the setup screens and the option to restore from your iCloud backup.

  • IOS 8 WiFi automatically downloading something in background!

    Hi,
    My iPhone 6 is automatically downloading something in the background but I don't know what it is. I've turned off automatic downloads, deleted iCloud backup, turned off photo stream, but it seems like it's still downloading something. I can tell this because my 4G Wifi adapter shows I'm downloading something on my iPhone, and this is downloading a lot! It's downloaded over 300MB already in just a few minutes! I have limited Wifi per month and this is wasting a lot of my data!
    Can someone tell me what's wrong? How can I stop this background downloading?
    The problem does not happen when I connect my mac to my Wifi adapter.

    Then unless it is some carrier upgrades that are only sent via 4G wifi and not just wifi, I would use a third party data track app available in the App Store to see which app is making use of it. Check this thread:
    How do you track your WiFi usage? Is there an app?

  • Icloud doesn't automatically download all my pictures/videos

    I have set up my iphone, ipad, macbook on iCloud but realized that only a few selected pictures were downloaded onto photo stream. I have lost all my pictures/videos on camera roll and I am trying to see if iCloud had sync'd to my ipad and macbook but I can't find most of the photos and videos in my other 2 devices. Anyone have similiar problems or know what I can do to retrieve the photos/videos not in my photostream?

  • Will iCloud enable new iTunes purchases to be automatically downloaded to multiple iTunes libraries under different logins on the SAME iMac?

    So I have a customer with one iMac and a user login on that iMac for each member of the family.  Under each user login, iTunes is configured with the same Apple ID so any purchases are made on the one account.  What they want is that no matter who purchases iTunes content from the iTunes Store, it appears in ALL their iTunes libraries.  If I configure iCloud with the SAME Apple ID under each login, and tick the 3 "Automatically Download New Purchases" boxes in iTunes under each login, then will new purchases be automatically downloaded to every library when the library owner logs in?  Or does iCloud only enable this functionlity based on a hardware ID, ie it will only work once per machine rather than once per user login?
    There must be a simple yes/no answer to this, but it's a fair bit of work to set up a test rig so I'm hoping somebody already knows!
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello campin,
    Congrats on your now MacBook Pro and welcome to the Apple family!
    So, I'm just going to address each question directly.
    1) Short answer: yes. The article "iTunes 11 for Mac: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store" goes over the process of downloading all of your previously purchased content.
    2) When you plug in your device you should see that iTune will allow you to configure the syncing options for each type of content. See "iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer" for more info.
    3) Automatic downloads is something that you can disable, but is enabled by default. This is also something that be different for Music and Apps. See "iTunes Store: How to enable Automatic Downloads"
    It's a lot of information, but that should help you out and enjoy your new MacBook Pro!

    I purchased extra Icloud storage because I couldn't take any more pictures on my phone, or download any more apps. The extra storage purchase did not change a thing. I still can't take pictures or download apps. Help!!

    Icloud storage has nothing at all to do with the storage on your iphone.
    Icoud storage is on a server somwewhere, not on your iphone.
    You need to delete content from your iphone

I was under the impression that my phone would automatically download my photos to my pc - we have wifi at home so I am really confused..

    Hi melaniefromsa,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that want to be able to view photos on your Photo Stream on your Windows computer. Make sure the same account is signed in to the iPhone and the iCloud Control Panel on your Windows computer and the location is correct for the photos. Please use the following article as a reference.
