Upload Photos automatically to icloud (beta)

HI
I recently turned on upload photos automatically to I cloud (beta) by mistake. On doing so I noticed that all my photos were disappearing so I immediately turned it back of and assumed that I could just go on to I cloud and they would be there. I have tried logging on to I cloud and checked my devices and the photos are not there. Can anyone help me to find there photos that have disappeared or where can I access them..
Thanks Amanda

Hello Lana Alana,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you are using the iCloud Photo Library beta, then your items are automatically being stored and uploaded to iCloud. Take a look at the information outlined below to learn more.
Can I use iCloud Photo Library to back up my Photo Library instead of iCloud Backup or iTunes?
Yes. If you turn on iCloud Photo Library, it will automatically upload and store all of your photos and videos from any of your devices that are using iCloud Photo Library. iCloud Photo Library won't be part of the iCloud Backup, because it's already storing all your photos and videos in iCloud.

Take care,

Can't upload photos from iphone icloud to computer icloud

I had called someone a while ago - I don't remember if it was Apple or whomever - now they want money for help.
My photos from my iPhone 4s are not uploading to my computer, windows 8 when I connect my iPhone to the computer.
Are the photos supposed to upload automatically on icloud or do I have to connect the iPhone to the computer?
Either way, it doesn't upload the photos.

Hi grandmamonsey,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
From what I understand, you would like to import your photos and videos on your iPhone to your Windows computer. If this is the case, please use the instructions and information in the attached article below.

Photostream uploads photos automatically even on mobile cellular connection?

i have installed photostream on ipad 3 v 5.1.1 and windows 7. ( Ignoring the problem that my ipad chooses to use up my mobile data card even when i am in the house with my broadband wifi connection ) I just took a picture with the ipad on cellular and it uploaded to my PC which is connected on wif taking a sizeable chunk of my data allowance. According to all i read it should not do this. Is there a setting to stop it uploading photos when on a cellular connection?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Photostream won't use cellular data, there are no settings to turn it on or off, it is always off.

Uploading photo's in iCloud

I have installed iCloud on my windows PC and I want to upload a bunch of photo's (to br able to view them on my iPad Air 2 128Gb)
When I select an album (created on my iPad) I chose Uplaod. Then I select some photo's on my PC and 'open', but nothing happens.
When I select 1 photo from same location I see 'Uploading 1 item' and after several seconds it ends and NOTHING is there. The same is happening
with e.g. selecting 10 photo's. Nothing is there.
Next day I found a part of the photo's in 'yesterday' moments.
I have the iPad configured to use the iCloud for photo's and it is synchronising.
- Are there any limits in uploading amount, size of photo's
- Why do I not get a message or some warning when there seems to be something wrong.
- I have bought some extra space (up to 20Gb) and that is for 15% occupied
- It looks like there is a a very, very bad and slow connection to the iCloud. True ?? (rest of internet, dropboxing, is very very fast)
I hope someone can clarify this for me. Thanks a lot

I experienced this problem recently but was able to solve it by signing out of, then back into Photo Stream on the computer. This will temporarily remove your photos, but once you get signed back in, it will repopulate the photos. Be sure you have updated to the latest version as well.

Problems on uploading photos to iCloud photo library

I had a problem on uploading photos to the iCloud photo library yesterday.
It shows that my mac is uploading my photos to iCloud but the numbers have stuck for days, I checked my WIFI and rebooted my mac for two times but it still didnt work.
I also turned on iCloud photo library on my iPad air and, similarly, the numbers still stayed the same....

There is probably maintenance work going on. Today I go continually warnings, that the photos cannot be found, when I tried to access iCloud Photo Library (Beta) from the iCloud page. Other threads reported, that the iCloud Photo Library (Bata) page was continually stuck on updating.
It is still a Beta service after all, accessional undergoing updating and reconstruction.

Iphone 6 not syncing with iCloud or uploading photos

since switching to the beta version (probably a big mistake in hindsight) my shiny new iPhone 6 will no longer sync with my iPad or upload photos to the iCloud. I get a persistent message stating I need to connect to wifi to upload - but my phone is connected to wifi every day and meanwhile the total number of photos not uploaded steadily increases.
I Have been unable to find an answer anywhere - even in the Apple Store Genius Bar, where they clearly couldn't be bothered.
Aby help would be gratefully received!

Thanks Wilkie.
No, I haven't tried re-enrolling to iCloud but have searched pretty much everywhere for a resolution. It does seem as if I'm not alone with this experience though. My iPad seems fine but the iPhone 6 just will no longer sync with the iPad or the cloud. I did see a suggestion that turning the "upload to photo stream" off and on might rectify it, but I don't want to risk losing any photos or videos. This is extremely frustrating and I only wish Apple had warned of this possibly happening so I had the choice whether or not to accept the beta "upgrade". It would help if there was some news on when the beta version will end in the hope that this problem will also.
I do have other cloud storage and I am aware I can upload my photos to a shared account as a "get around" but the principle here is that Apple have messed things up and don't seem to be in a hurry to put them right either!

I am having no luck uploading Photos to Icloud from my PC ?

Hi
I am having no luck uploading Photos to my Icloud from my PC?
Can anybody help me

Make sure you check Photo Stream on the iCloud control panel for Windows. Then make sure you are uploading your photos by doing the following:
Photo stream supports jpeg, png, Tiff and most Raw formats, so make sure your file format is one of these. Then, to add your photos to photo stream, open Windows explorer, select Photo Stream under Favorites on the left sidebar,:
Click on Photo Stream, then to the right double-click on My Photo Stream. Click on Add Photos on the top the menu bar:
Select the photos you want to import, then click Open.

How can I 're-upload' photos to iCloud Photo Library Beta?

iCloud Photo Library a beta is set up to optimise iPad storage, but when trying to clean up my photo library, and opening photos to assess quality (which isn't feasible with the reduced resolution versions stored on my iPad) the full versions have downloaded and wiped out the storage capacity on my ipad! I need to revert to to the 'minimised' version, but can't see how to do this. Any help appreciated!

Are you really in a hurry to move your photos?
iCloud Photo Library is still a beta version. (See: iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ) The Mac part has not yet been released, but all be available early next year. We do not know yet, what the Mac part of iCloud Photo Library will be like. The Photos.app for Mac will be able to upload to iCloud Photo Library. If you simply wait till early next year, it will be the easiest transit. Then you will be able to migrate iPhoto Libraries and Aperture Libraries to Photos and store the photos in iCloud.
Right now, only iPad, iPhones, iPod Touches can upload to iCloud Photo Library Beta. And if you enable iCloud Photo Library Beta on your mobile devices, the usual ways to upload photos from your Mac will be disabled. It will no longer be possible to sync photos with iTunes, and you cannot upload using My Photo Stream. You would have to mail the photos to your mobile devices to upload them to iCloud Photo Library Beta or use Dropbox or similar.

Recently tried to upload photos on my iPad to the iCloud PL beta and in the process it removed all the photos from my device through the photo stream. No CPU backup of photos, photos are older than 30days. Any third party recovery software I can use?

First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
What computer do you have?

HT6378 How to upload iPhoto library into iCloud Photo library?

Hi,
I am having a MBP mid 2012 w/ Yosemite along w/ iPhone and iPad, all running 8.1. After having upgraded all devices to latest version, I wonder how do you get now the Mac iPhoto library into iCloud Photo library? iCloud Photo Library setting has been enabled on all devices.
On the iCloud, All Photos folder just shows a fraction of what's on my Mac iPhoto library, probably the most recent pictures I have taken and there's no sign of any automatic uploading as suggested by all Apple Ads...
Thanks
S

After having upgraded all devices to latest version, I wonder how do you get now the Mac iPhoto library into iCloud Photo library? iCloud Photo Library setting has been enabled on all devices.
iPhoto on your Mac is not supposed to work with iCloud Photo Library. The new "Photos" app for the mac will be able to do it. The release of this app has been announced for "Early next year".
For now, only your mobile devices can upload to iCloud Photo Library. So you have to upload your photos to the mobile devices to get them into iCloud Photo Library Beta.
That is not easy, because you cannot upload from your iPhoto library to your iOS 8 devices using iTunes with iCloud Photo Library Beta enabled on the device. It will disable syncing photos with iTunes. As long as you are using iCloud Photo Library Beta, mail the Photos to your devices or upload using Photo Stream.

I have a recently acquired iPhone 4. Is it true if I am using PhotoStream to upload photos to my PC via iCloud, photos are only pushed when wifi is available? This means I don't have to worry about extra data usage, right? Thank you.

Correct.
On an iOS device, new photos you take will be automatically uploaded to your photo stream when you leave the Camera app and are connected to Wi-Fi. Note: My Photo Stream does not push photos over cellular connections.

My photos won't sync with iCloud beta

I have 306 photos on my iPhone 6+. After turning on iCloud Photo Library (Beta) on my iPad Air, I now have 306 photos on it. (So far, so good.) But I can't get the photos to sync with beta.icloud.com. I tried deleting some photos at beta.icloud.com and they were deleted on my iPhone and iPad. But it won't work the other way around. I have 402 photos on beta.icloud.com, and the 6 new photos I took this afternoon with my iPhone won't upload there, although they should up on my iPad. I tried restarting my Macbook Pro and iPhone and still no go. Any solutions? Thanks. (I'm using 8.1 on both devices and Yosemite on my MacBook Pro.)

Go through the troubleshooting steps in this article listed under "Troubleshooting on Microsoft Windows (Microsoft Outlook)": iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar. In particular make sure the iCloud Outlook add-in is active within Outlook.

Upload photos from PC to new icloud photo library

The iCloud help pages tells me I should be able to upload photos from my Macbook (Yosemite) to my new iCloud Photo Library (beta). I open iCloud.com in Safari. Click on the Photos option. I see my albums and photos. The help pages tell me that I should see an UPLOAD button, but I do not.
Same results when I use my Windows 7 PC using Internet Explorer.
Any thoughts or guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike T in VA
