Retrieving photos from the cloud

I thought I backed up all my photos to the cloud when I sent in my ipad in for repair. Apple replaced the ipad with a new one and it seems that only photos that I took with the iPad are downloading to the new one. Was I mistaken in assuming that all photos (even those downloaded to my ipad from an external source) were uploaded to the cloud.

Photos in your camera roll are part of the backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519?viewlocale=en_US

HT4927 Is it possible to retrieve photos from the clouds

It appears that my pictures are lost forever I've tried everything please help,

Not from iCloud - it is not a storage place - it can be set up to backup your IOS devices so to the extent that photos are on an IOS device they may be on a backup for that device - for questions on IOS devices it is best to post tin the correct forum
Bottom line is that you must alway have a good, current backup or you will lose photos sooner or later
If you tell us more maybe there is help - right no all we know is that you think your photos are lost for unidentified reason using some unidentified version of iPhoto - give us soem details and maybe there is help

How do I retrieve my photos from the cloud after a reset. My photos are gone from my phone, and I backed them up on iCloud? when I restored it, no camera roll pictures?

Try restoring the backup again. Sometimes it's successful the second time. You could also try restoring an older backup. iCloud will have your last 3 backups is you have sufficient storage space in your account.

How to retrieve photos from the iCloud

icloud only stores photos in backups (or in a special case, when using photo stream). If you have turned on backup and made sure the camera roll is turned on (only photos from camera roll are backed up), then you can get photos back by performing a restore. But note that users should always sync photos to a computer to archive them, relying on icloud is not foolproof.

Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

If you mean Photoroll.
Then you should use the standard process of connecting your device to a computer. It will be recognized as a camera and ask you to offload them.
If they are photos loaded from iTunes onto your phone (ie Albums), they cannot be removed this way. You will need a 3rd party app such as Phototransfer.

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.

How do I retrieve photos from my cloud?

How do I retrieve the photos from my cloud? Thank you!

The only way photos are stored in icloud is in a backup from an ios device. This assumes that icloud backup was turned on and that camera roll was turned on. Note that photo stream is a slightly different service that is used to sync photos from one device to another, it's not really a storage service.
To retrieve photos that are in a backup, you need to reset a device (wipe all data from it) and perform a restore. Note that many users have had problems getting their photos back from a backup - for one reason or another. Remember, the suggested way of storing photos is to sync them to a computer or service like Dropbox.

How do I retrieve data from the cloud to put back on my iPad after it was restarted, I.e. my calendar, notes, reminders?

I took my 1st gen iPad to an Apple store because of some glitches in the operating system, and I had forgotten my restrictions pass code. They backed up my data on the cloud, then took everything off of my iPad to basically "start over" with a new iPad. Now I don't know how to retrieve my calendar, notes, reminders. Somehow my contacts are there. I went to general settings and made sure the cloud was turned on, but I don't know how to pull from the cloud what we had previously backed up. Thanks for ANY suggestions:)

When you have forgotten a restrictions password, you can no long restore from a backup that had the restrictions turned on. You can only start over with a full reset.
But you can sign back into icloud (Setting>icloud) and turn on the services you have used before (calendars, reminders, etc...). That will sync down the data to your ipad.

Why can't I send photos from the Cloud to my phone?

I can send all the photos from my phone to the Verizon Cloud, but there's no ability to do the opposite. No "send as Text" option, no "compose message" button. The old Pix Place had this option, so why doesn't the Cloud?

Thanks for your efforts sparkimusprime! Let's try this: download a picture from the cloud to your computer, then email it to [email protected] it will come to your phone as a text message, then you can store it on the phone.

How to download just photos from the cloud

How do I download just photos to my iPad 3 from the cloud? I can't do a straight cloud download because I have a corrupted app that caused my cellular to do work.

YYou may have misunderstood my question. I had to have my iPad restored to factory setting as cellular would not work. Cellular did work then until the Genius used the cloud to reinstall everything. it was determined that an app had corrupted my iPad. So he had to do it again. i have been applying some apps but still need to get the photos that were on the iPad back on it again. I do not use the photo sync feature between devices for photos.

How do I download photos from the cloud to an Iphone 5c

My wife's iphone 5 got destroyed and she got a replacement iphone 5c, and none of her photos are there, how do I go about trying to download them from the cloud. These photos were only taken on her phone, and her itunes is on a PC not a Mac. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

"The cloud" just means "her account on a server somewhere." Since you're asking how to get her photos out of the cloud, the next question is, which cloud storage service was she backing up her photos to? Apple iCloud? Google Photos? Dropbox? Flickr?
Once you know which service she was using, all that should be needed is to log into that account on her new phone. For iCloud, she would log in from the Settings app and then turn on the Photos switch; for non-Apple cloud photo backup she probably needs to download that service's app like the Google app or the Dropbox app. Once she is logged in to the service she was using, her photos should be accessible and downloadable.

That's fine. With cloud services, the server is the central location and the device doesn't matter; any compatible device (Mac, PC, phone, tablet etc.) can upload or download files with the cloud server.
