iCloud storage is not for files from your Mac. It's just for mobile devices. The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
What iCloud backs up
You have important information on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. iCloud automatically backs up your device over Wi-Fi every day while it’s turned on, locked, and connected to a power source. With your device information backed up in iCloud, you can easily set up a new device or restore information on one you already have.
Here’s what iCloud backs up:
Purchased history for music, movies, TV shows, apps, and booksYour iCloud backup includes information about the content you have purchased, but not the purchased content itself. When you restore from an iCloud backup, your purchased content is automatically downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. Automatic downloading is based on iTunes in the Cloud availability by country, and previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the store.
Photos and videos in your Camera Roll
Device settings
App data
Home screen and app organization
iMessage, text (SMS), and MMS messages
Ringtones
Visual Voicemail
You should also read these two Apple Documents:
iCloud: My Photo Stream and iCloud Photo Sharing limits
iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
To backup your library or photos get an external HD and use it with Time Machine to Backup your entire boot drive.

Slow uploads to Photo Stream via iPhoto

Photos I upload to Photo stream from my Mac (from a DSLR camera) always upload very slowly. They're big images, 2-4 meg, so I would expect them to be slower than from my iPhone, but literally they can take 2-3 minutes each. Anybody know if that's normal? If so, why? If not, any suggestions? Thanks.

Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream. Then add photos to the PS again.

How can I subscribe to a Shared Photo Stream from iPhoto 9.4 on OSX 10.7.5 ?

I just updated to iPhoto 9.4 on both my (just updated) OSX 10.8.2 MacBook Pro and my OSX 10.7.5 Mac mini.
For some mysterious reason Apple specifies that I can not subscribe to the new "Shared Photo Streams" from my OSX 10.7.5 Mac mini.
How could that be ?
How can I get around this ?
How can it be that Apple claims that 'Shared Photo Streams' can be shared to all my other devices, but it turns out that my major photo-database can't, even though it has a brand new version of last year's OSX running... ???!!!
This can't be a software issue...
because if that were the case Apple would be deliberately cutting off users of last year's operating system... (...I even think there is a law prohibiting that...)
so... can anyone tell me what the exact piece of hardware is that I am missing ?
or has anyone found a solution for this yet ?
Thanks !

The only hardware that's preventing me from upgrading to 10.8 "Mountain Lion" would be the fact that a Mid-2007 Mac mini doesn't have a separate graphics card...
...as all other hardware-components ar similar to the iMac Mid 2007... :
- at least 2GB of PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM RAM
- a 64-bit Intel Core 2 Duo "Merom" processor
- a WiFi-N compatible AirPort-card (I've upgraded the one in my Mac mini to an Atheros AR-9280...)
- OSX 10.6.8 or later installed (I have OSX 10.7.5)
- iPhoto 9.4
...so the only spec I not meeting hardware-wise is the fact that my Mac mini has a GMA950 shared graphics card...
but surely... that can not be the reason I can't subscribe to a Photo Stream...
why would that have anything to do with eachother ???!!!
[ I've even seen claims of tricked OSX 10.8 installers for the Mid-2007 Mac mini, so if that's my only option... ]

How can I sever my Photo Stream from iPhoto '11?

Hi, supporters! I want to give my macbook away (running OS 10.7.5) but don't want iPhoto to be linked to my personal Photo Stream. I know I can turn Photo Stream "off" in iPhoto, but I want my iCloud account permanently severed from the iPhoto application. Any suggestions? Thanks.

These following webpages describe what you need to do before selling or giving your Mac away. Read them carefully:

Adding Photos To Photo Stream From iPhoto Doesn't Work.

Hi,
I'm a new Mac user, just becoming acquainted to Mavericks. I've imported all of my photos into iPhoto, have found some photos I wanted to share with some friends. So, I selected the Photos, then clicked the "Share" icon, then "iCloud". I created a new stream, and shared it with my friends. The stream appeared on my iPhone & iPad, and my firends have accepted my invite. But the photos have not been added to the stream.
I tried adding the photos again to no avail.
I have also tried adding photos to streams that I had already created on my iPhone, but the photos are not added.
No error messages to be seen; I have also checked the iPhoto preferences, under the iCloud option, all check boxes are ticked.
Any ideas?

Sorry not to be able to help, just wanted to show support as I have exactly the same problem. Did you find an answer?

Lost photos: icloud msg - deleted photos - gone from iphoto too- help, lost photos: icloud msg - deleted photos - gone from iphoto too- help

HELP! It appears as though I have lost most of my photos from 2012/13. Could be any number of issues. Most likely: i-cloud sent me a msg saying I was running out of space and suggested I make room by deleting stuff. I did. I deleted photos as I thought I had them all on i-photo. Now they're just gone. I've checked my different libraries. I tried to open a library I backed up to an external hard drive but it wouldn't open, saying I needed to update using updater. I installed up-dater. Nothing happened. Still get the same message. And now I can't open iphoto at all. Was updated when I installed Maverick, was it not? Anyway, app store says its updated. So perhaps the issue is Maverick?

You might get better results asking in the iPhoto forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/iphoto.

No shared photo stream on iPhoto '11

Hi! I have been trying to create a shared photo stream from iPhoto on mi iMac, but there is no option to do so, I only get my photo stream. I searched Apple support and supposedly under preferences/photo stream there should be a checkbox to enable the shared photo stream, but I only get three check boxes: "Enable Photo Stream", "Automatic Import" and "Automatic Upload", nothing about the shared photo stream. I have the latest version of iPhoto '11 (9.4.2). Any ideas on how to make it work? Thanks!
Cesar

Shared Photo Streams require 10.8.2 or later.

How do I get MacPro iPhoto events downloaded to my iPad mini? Uploading photo streams from mini to Mac works fine.

How do I get MacPro iPhoto events downloaded to my iPad mini? iCloud is set up. Uploading photo streams from mini to Mac works fine.

Set up the events as albums on your Mac Pro in iPhoto. Then use iTunes to sync your iPad.
Start iTunes on your Mac Pro. Connect your iPad and select it in the left sidebar. If you do not see a left sidebar use the View menu to View Sidebar.
Once you select your iPad look in the right window and find the Photos tab. Select the album or albums you want copied from iPhoto on your Mac Pro to your iPad. Then click on Apply.

1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.
iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
2)
Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Then on the iPod go to
- Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
- Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that under You can be reached at only her ID email address is listed
- Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with hers
Contnue to use the commpn ID/account for Settings>iTunes and App stores.

Moved iPhoto to external HD now photos won't upload to Photo Stream

I moved iPhoto to an external HD connected to my iMac and now Photo Stream says it is uploading photos but nothing is happening.
After moving iPhoto (and selecting the new location as the default by holding down the Option key when opening the app) I added some photos by dragging them from Finder to iPhoto Library Photos. I then dragged them from Library Photos to Photo Stream and all appeared to be fine. However after an 2 hours it still says "Uploading 140 photos" but no photos are moving to the Photo Stream folder.
Any help would be appreciated!

Quit out of iPhoto, relaunch and try again. Also the following may help:
Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
Reboot and reenable both respectively. See if that willjump start the upload to Photo Stream.

How get all photos from photo streams without iPhoto

Hi to make A long story short, I lost a Hard Drive with iPhoto on it... Including all my baby's pics ... However I can still see them in the photo streams on my idevices.. First off without that Mac how can just grab all the photos off photo stream without iPhoto?
Secondly, if I can install iPhoto on another machine or drive will that help or hurt me? Will all the photos show up under my Apple ID and can I just copy them or am I running any risk of deleting the streams?
Is my only option to copy photos from photo stream a few at a time? And does that not repush them back up to the stream and erase older photos?
Thank you for any help!!
Yes I know I am a complete idiot for not backing up or using online backup service...

If you create a new library on another Mac, set its Photo Stream preferences to
and log into your iCloud account on that Mac and enable Photo Stream, the Photo Stream photos will automatically be imported into the new library. It can take a while depending on how many photos are in the stream.
When you're done log out of your iCloud account and copy the library to a flash drive or DVD (if small enought) till you get your new drive.

Need help in the transfer/upload iWeb photos back to iPhoto

I have created an iWeb page with numerous family and other photos taken from iPhoto. Since that point, I have lost those files in iPhoto due to some operator error. ( no i didnt back up first, but thats set up now )
Anyway, I am wondering if I can upload/transfer these photos BACK iPhoto.
Please Help!!!

Welcome to Apple Discussions,
Is the website published online? If so, make a new folder on your computer's desktop (File > New Folder). Go to the website. Drag the pictures from the website to the folder. Once complete you can drag the folder to the iPhoto icon in your dock to import them back into iPhoto.
__Keep in mind that when an image is added to iWeb it is optimized for web use. This means these pictures will not be the same as the original.
Alternative:
You can extract the images out of iWeb.
1.) Go to Home > Library > Application Support > iWeb
2.) Click on the "Domain" file in here and go to File > Duplicate to make a copy (The Domain contains everything that you have in iWeb).
3.) Right-click or control click on the Domain copy.
4.) Choose "Show Package Contents" from the drop down menu that appears.
5.) Leave the window that appears open and go to File > Find.
6.) At the top of the search window click on "Domain copy"
7.) Change "Kind" "Any" to "Kind" "Image".
__This will show you any and all image within the Domain copy file
8.) Drag all the images you find in here that you want to a new folder on your desktop.
__Leave the "Thumbnail" images as these are very small versions of the full size picture (unless of course you want them).
__Once you have all the images you want you can discard the Domain Copy and drag the folder you created to the iPhoto icon in the dock to add them to iPhoto.
Hope that helps.

My computer freezes up when trying to upload photo book from iPhoto '11. This happens during the upload process.

My computer freezes up when trying to upload photo book from iPhoto '11. This happens during the upload process.
When this happens I need to close down the computer and restart.
Any ideas ?
I've got Mountain Lion running.
I'm on a 13" white MacBook with 8GB RAM installed.
I recently had a 1 TB hard disc installed at the Apple store.

can you preview it? -
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
If that works fine and you still have problems boot into safe mode and try again
