TS4403 I uploaded all my photos to icloud but why is the folder empty on other computers?
I am new to iCloud. I added my photos to my iCloud from my laptop but when I added iCloud to my desktop there was nothing in the photo stream. how do I find te photos and use them from my PC?
iCloud is not a photo storage service, so you cannot upload "all" your photos.
iCloud's Photostream feature is a temporary storage service which is for wirelessly transferring photos taken on one iOS device to other iOS devices and back to your computer for permanent storage.
Photostream only stores a maximum of 1000 photos for a maximum of 30 days. This is to give you enough time to download the photos for storing permanently.

HT204570 Upload all my photos to iCloud through Photos app.
I always kept my photos in folders instead of the iPhoto library (except for a few hundreds), if I want to upload them all to iCloud, do I have to import them all to (new) Photos app? Will the files be duplicated?
I won't sync those photos between all my Apple devices. I just wanna have a backup of them. I even bought more iCloud space already.
Or is there another way to make an iCloud backup of just photos from my Macbook?
Should I delete iPhoto app?No. If you delete them from your device, they will also be deleted from iCloud. Back up your photos to your computer as explained here: Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC, then you can delete any photos you no longer want to keep on your device. If you want them on your device later, sync them back using iTunes.

My phone was stolen, but I had no data left and so can't locate it till the person who has it tries to use the internet. I backed up all my photos on iCloud, and want to get them on my PC. I installed iCloud onto the PC and followed the instructions and still can't find my pictures, says my photostream folder is empty, but it shows on iCloud that i've used most of my storage which is true, so they must be there somewhere?
Any ideas? I'd really appreciate the help! ThanksYes, I filed police report, but there is nothing they can do until I get back to them on the tracking. It's been offline. I'm sure the whoever took it can find a way around breaking in the ipad..i really was hoping to get my pictures and videos of my kids back

Hi. Everyone, I want to reset my iPad but I sent all my photos to Icloud photo sharing. Now I'm wondering that if I reset my ipad, will all the photos go? if they will how can I prevent that? I'm also using and iphone with the same Apple ID if that helps!!!
Restarting or resetting the iPad does not delete the shared albums in iCloud (http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201559).

I have Photoshop Elements 10. How do I upload all my photos and albums to Adobe Revel?
I have Photoshop Elements 10. How do I upload all my photos and albums to Adobe Revel?
Elements 10 does not have a direct interface with Revel. You can upload from your computer to revel via adoberevel.com, via the revel app if you use Win8 or Mac, or via an upgrade to Elements 11 or 12. (Elements 11 has upload/download ability, Elements 12 has mobile albums that stay in sync)

I had my photo stream on and my icloud all set up, i just had the screen replaced and they somehow lost all the photos off my phone, but why wont the photo's reload back on to my iphone now that im connected to wifi again, where are all my photos???
When photos are added to the photo stream album on a device (either due to a new photo having been taken or having been synced from another device using the stream) they remain in the album. However, the syncing process involves copying the photos to the photo stream server where they are kept for a maximum of 30 days, up to 1000 photos. If a device is reset or the stream is turned off or turned back on again (or in your case, the device was repaired), the photos that were on the device's photo stream album are gone and the only ones to appear are those that are currently on the servers (recall the 30 day limit).
If some of your photos are older than 30 days, then they are no longer stored on the cloud and hence are not synced down to the iphone.
Recall, photo stream is just a syncing service, it is not designed as a storage service for photos. Always sync photos to a computer for archiving. -
I accidently uploaded ALL my Contacts to iCloud.This removed them ALL from Microsoft Outlook Contacts. How do i get them back to Outlook Contacts?
Hello there inkystephens,
It sounds like you are needing to sync your iCloud contacts that came from Outlook in the first place back to Outlook. The Outlook section of the following article should help you do that:

My Mac's hard drive is full. Mostly of pics and movies. Can I upload and move photos to Icloud, then delete them from my Mac? If yes how?
Use something such as OmniDiskSweeper (my favorite) or Grand Perspective to find out where large files may be. iCloud isn't going to help much if you've so much data that it won't fit on a 1TB drive. Sounds as if it's time to either buy another drive or at least an external with more space.
Good luck,
Clinton

iPhoto 9.5.1 has suddenly got all blank photos. If I scroll through the photos they appear briefly and disappear. I have not updated to Yosemite - I am still running Mavericks on an iMac. I have been through the database rebuild and repair routines. I uploaded photos and movies three days ago and all was well. Then I used the migration assistant to copy from Time Machine to a new Macbook Air and noticed blank photos. I thought it was a problem with the Macbook Air, but then I went back to the iMac to check and they were all blank as well.
what does appear after the photo "flashes"?
Have you repaired permissions? If not backup your iPhoto library and option-command launch and repair permissions - then repair the database and if needed rebuild the database
If that does not do it down iPhoto Library Manager on the iMac and use the free trial's rebuild command to create a totally new library leaving the existing one alone
Once you have the iMac working correctly then connect the two systems together (or use an external drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) ) and drag the iPhoto library form the iMac to the pictures folder of the MBA (rather than migration assistant)

I have deleted all my photos off iPhone but can still view them on appletv . How do I get them back on my phone?
If you have deleted all the photos from your iPhone you can't get them back. The only place they might exist is if you backed them up to iPhoto if you have a Mac. If you have iCloud and Photo Steam enabled, then the last 100 photos would be saved in your Photo Stream.

I have a iPhone 5. In usage, it says i have 2.1 gigs used because of photos and camera. I have deleted all my photos via iPhoto and now reset the phone back to factory settings in order to try to solve this problem, to no avail. Both iTunes and the phone say that 2.1 gigs are being used, even though the phone now has nothing on it. What is going on?
Yeah it works fine over wifi the problem is when I try to use it over my 3G. It's really stressing me out now.

I have a macbook, an ipad, and an iphone with the Mail app on all three synced through icloud, but when I read and delete emails on my phone, the inbox on my ipad is not update, so I have to go through and mark as read or delete messages again. How can I sync my iphone and ipad? (it seems like each is synced only to my laptop, so don't synchronize until I go home and use my laptop.
POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap" -
I deleted all my photos and videos and then delete the deleted files but the photo app is still taking up 12 GB of space and I have no room for new stuff. How can I clear the memory space used by my deleted videos and photos? I don't know why the photos are still taking up space and if I will have to reset my phone to get rid of the problem.
