Storing my photos and tunes in iCloud.
How do I transfer photos from my iPad to iCloud so I can free up space on my iPad without losing the photos?
iOS iCloud backups can not be accessed outside of restoring your phone.
You should be transferring photos to your computer to be backed up.

My iphone5 was stolen (second time) How can I recover my photos and videos on icloud? Last time they did not all come back. Specifically I need photos I took 1 day before it was stolen.
If they are in photo stream and your computer meets the minimum system requirements (OS X 10.7.2 or higher and iPhoto '11 9.4 or later or Aperture 3.4 or later; or Vista SP2 or later if you have a PC), set up iCloud on your computer and enable photo stream, as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/. You'll get any photo stream photos from the last 30 days.
Camera roll photos are stored in your iCloud backup, and can only be recovered by restoring the entire backup to another iPhone or iPod Touch that is running the same or higher version of iOS as the phone you backed up. -
I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud. When I restored my phone from icloud, half of my pics and videos have been deleted, the pics that were restored on my phone are very blurry, and the videos won't play. I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server". I have erased and reset my phone twice, but every time I do it, more pics and videos are deleted. I have backed up to icloud and iphoto, however, some of the pics are no longer on iphoto either. Is there someway to get the videos to play on my phone again? Make the photos not as blurry as they are now and to restore the pics and videos that have been lost? I really would love to have them back, this phone is supposed to be the best and right now it doesn't seem to be. Please help if you can.
I too have noticed that once i restored from iCloud. Pictures blurry and videos wont play!
Need help too!! -

PreferencesIf you want an online backup - useful if the house burns down - you will need a third-party service. This page examines some options:
http://rfwilmut.net/missing3
However you should not rely only on an online service - Pvonk's suggestion is well worth following up - hard disks aren't all that expensive these days and once set up Time Machine backs up quietly in the background, including keeping older versions of items you have updated. -
How to download photo and songs from iCloud to laptop (windows 7)
Hi,
how do I download photos and songs from icloud to Windows 7.I opend control panel and checked box regards photos then I gave apply but I didn't see any photos in my icloud photos location which is present in my laptop.There's a long discussion on photo stream issues with PCs here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5356710?start=180&tstart=0 you can look through. Various solutions are offered that work for some people. Perhaps you'll find one that works for you.
Also, photo stream photos do not use your iCloud storage at all, so deleting them will not reduce you storage. If you need to reduce your iCloud storage, there are some suggestion for how to do this here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847. -
Where are my photos and videos in iCloud?
Ok - So I just backed up my iPhone on iCloud for the first time. I had to purchase extra space so that my photos would all be backed up. The apple store genuis told me iCloud would back it up. So how can I access them through iCloud on my computer? I don't see them. I want to make sure that if my phone crashes that all of my pictures will be saved.

how can I delete videos and photos from my device after downloading them from iCloud to free up space.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first back up to iCloud may take some considerable time. Just how long isn't really possible to say without knowing how much is in your back up and your connection speed.
What many people don't realise is that upload speeds are often significantly less than download speeds, so for example a user may have a download speed of 40 Mbps, but only 1 Mbps for uploading. As a rough guide it will take around 2 ¼ hours to upload 1 GB of data at 1 Mbps. -
How can I recover music and photos fter my hard drive completely crashed? Are they recoverable on icloud?
You can redownload purchased music. But macs cannot backup to iCloud, thus cannot restore from it. Instead, restore your time machine backup to the new drive. everything will be as it was before.

iOS: How to back up - Support - Apple -
I had iCloud photo libraey turned on on both my iPad and iPhone. As said by the feature, photos and videos were being transferred automatically from each device to each other. I have a 64GB iPad Air 2 and my iPhone 5 only has 16GB of storage so I am lacking much more space on my iPhone than my iPad. I was wondering if there was a way to transfer photos only from my iPhone to my iPad but not from my iPad to my iPhone. Would turning off iCloud Photo library on my iPad do the trick? Thanks hope someone can help me out.
iCloud Photo Library keeps all of your photos in the Cloud which you then can selectively download. So, unless you download the iPad photos, they are not going to be taking up any room on your iPhone:
How does iCloud Photo Library save space on my device?
If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your iOS device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. iCloud Photo Library stores the original, high-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and can keep lightweight, device-optimized versions on each of your devices. As long as you have enough storage, recent photos and videos that you access the most will stay on your device at full resolution.
You can turn on Optimize [device] Storage from Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera > iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You need an Internet connection to access an original photo or video that’s stored only in iCloud.

Can i back up my photos and saved files/ music using icloud?
i don't have an external hard drive right now to back up my files before i upgrade to os x snow leopard.. i know i'm behind... so if anybody could help that would be great!!
If you are upgrading TO snow leopard, then whichever version of OSX you are currently using, it is not compatible with icloud. And besides, a mac cannot back up photos and music to icloud. Few file formats can be saved there as well. icloud is not your solution.
If you are not using Time Machine to store backups to an external drive, then I don't know what to say. You can't use Dropbox since it requires the files to be stored locally as well as in their cloud. You have to get an external drive, smaller sizes are not that expensive. -
ICloud photo and photo(beta) hidden files(photos)
Last week I copied my iPhoto to the new Photo. Everything went as expected, so happy with that. After that got a bigger iCloud package (200Gb) and started to copy my photo library to the cloud. And again everything went as expected.
Only in iPhoto I had a couple of photo's on hidden. The transfer to photo they stayed hidden! So all ok!
But today after completing the copy to iCloud (1 week), the pictures that should be hidden were not hidden on Photo on iCloud or any of my mobile devices! Is this normal or is there something going "still" wrong?
Love to know what is happening and how I can fix it. Beside copying the hidden photo to a other app and removing them from photo and the iCloud.
Regards
