Using photo stream and picture questions.. having storage issues

HOw do i save my photos to my computer and delete them from my phone? I'm running out of storage but I don't want to lose my pictures

Check your settings in iCloud on your computer (no idea what system you are using...pc or mac). If you haven't tried the usual already (reset/restart) then try that to see if it helps. Also, you can try checking the Apple support site to see if there are any articles about this issue that offers troubleshooting ideas.

If I don't use photo stream and I delete my icloud, will my photos be deleted?

If I don't use photo stream and I delete my icloud, will my photos be deleted?

Please rephrase the question. You can not "delete" your iCloud. iCloud is a service. Not a thing.

I want to use photo stream and I have iPhoto' 09 8.1.2 at the moment, which upgrade do I need?

I have been trying the 'Software update' thing but It isn't coming up with anything. I just want to use photo stream in icloud.

You are using iPhoto '09, and Photo Stream requires iPhoto '11 or Aperture 3, so you have to purchase iPhoto '11 from the App Store.
Before purchasing, open Finder, select Applications in the sidebar, and delete iPhoto. Then, open App Store and purchase iPhoto. After being downloaded and installed, make a backup of your iPhoto library in a different folder: iPhoto will update your library, and if this process fails, you will lose all your pictures

TS3988 Can't access photo stream and icloud, despite having the right id/password

I can access icloud online, and on my macbook pro. But for some reason, I can't access my storage preferences (it says: Details not available), nor can I access photo stream. I get an error message that says:
Photos for the iCloud account “[email protected]” cannot be accessed. Review your account information in System Preferences.
When I click on 'review'
I can also see my storage settings (after inputting my password), and everything is correct and up-to-date. Yet it won't load the storage details.
I also don't want to sign out, because I get messages telling me that everything on my mac will be deleted, and I don't want to lose anything.
What now?
Thanks for your help,
Lutz

You aren't supposed to be able to access photos at iCloud.com.
To enable photo stream in iPhoto enable system preferences > photos and follow on screen instructions.

How do you view photos through windows explorer without using photo stream?

I updated to the iOS6 and I can no longer view and download photos to my PC through windows Explorer.
I do not really want too use photo stream and or the iCloud at this time...
It now appears Apple is now forcing you to use the iCloud to get pictures off of your iphone...
I dont want this, I want to do it manually, without the iCloud.
Help Please.

I run ios6 and when I connect my iphone to windows it show up as a camera in my computer this have been the case since the first iphone when I click on the camera I can navigate to the folders to where my pictures and videos are stored only the ones taken on the iphone mind you again something don by design and worked like that forever

When you back up your Iphone/Ipad it backs up for camera roll. but when you take pictures and it uses photo stream, does that mean there are two copy's of your photos on icloud one set for photo stream and one set for backups?

What do you mean by storage quota, does that mean i could be photo streaming about 1gb of photos and it does not get taken away from my free 5bg.

My pictures taken on my touch were loaded onto my iPad using photo stream. The next day they were gone and I can't get them back on my iPad . They are still on my itouch . Any suggestion?

I have just installed iPhoto 11 and all of photos on my iphone have now all disappeared and ended up in my photo stream and the library in iphoto does not display all my pictures?? Can anyone help?

I have just installed iPhoto 11 and all of photos on my iphone have now all disappeared and ended up in my photo stream and the library in iphoto does not display all my pictures?? Can anyone help?

And I cant work out why all of my pictures are not diplaying in iphoto?
Is this iPhoto on your Mac? Are you referring to the photos that were in your iPhoto LIbrary prior to the upgrade to iPhoto 11? If so then apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If that's not what you're referring to then you should describe what is happening in more detail. Remember we can't see your Mac or your iPhone so need detailed and accurate descriptions of what you're experiencing.
Also we need infomartion like do you have an iCloud account and are you logged into it on all of your devices, iPhoto and Mac? do you have Photo Stream enabled on both.

I have so many pictures on my photo stream and camera roll. I synced them to my computer, the ones on my photo stream. can I delete the pictures in my camera roll? and still have the pictures on my computer? or do i have to save them from icloud folder to

Hi, i am an idiot when it comes to this. I have so many pictures on my photo stream and camera roll. i cant even take anymore pictures or even update to ios7. I synced my pictures to my PC, i think. can i know delete my camera roll or will my pictures disappear from my computer? im so confused!!

If you delete photo stream photos from your phone they will be deleted from the my photo stream album on your PC. Before doing that, be sure to copy or move them to a different folder on your computer.
Deleting camera roll photos won't delete anything from your computer. If you import them to your computer using your usb cable as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083, you will get an option to delete them from your phone after they are imported.

TS3989 New MacAir but photostream does not work. Message though everything is on. "In order to use Photo Stream, you have to be signed into your iCloud account in System Preferences." And,

New computer but Photostream does not work. I am signed into my account but get the following message: In order to use Photo Stream, you have to be signed into your iCloud account in System Preferences. I go to system preferences and then get a message that says that my account cannot be accessed. However, I am using my icloud account for email and other items and it works fine. Any thoughts?

Are you getting this messages in iPhoto? If so try the following (again?):
Log out of iCloud in the System/iCloud preference pane and disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane. Then log back in and re-enable, respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

HT4906 I just upgraded iphoto, but it is version 7.1.5 (and called iPhoto 8). Do I have to pay for iPhoto 9 in order to use photo stream?

To use Photo Stream, you will need iPhoto 9.2 at least. This is a major upgrade from iPhoto 7.1.5 and you will have to buy it.

Every time I launch iPhoto and go to use photo stream, I have to enable photostream again. In the past it was always just on but not any more. Any Ideas as to why and or a fix would be appriciated , thanks.

I did a search and found nothing but as soon as I posted this I saw that there were many in the same boat. No need to reply to this. Im hoping, like many others, that apple gets the fix out soon. Thanks.

HT201317 If I don't want to use photo stream, can I still upload a bunch of photos to iCloud and then share them with people who do not have iCloud?

If I don't want to use photo stream, can I still upload a bunch of photos to iCloud and then share them with people who do not have iCloud?

iCloud provides a simple gallery in the form of 'Photo Journal' - uploading of photos from iPhoto to web pages hosted on iCloud, but only from iOS devices; and the photos are compressed to a size adequate for online viewing but are not available in full resolution as with the old MobileMe Gallery. Apple have provided a sample album here.
There are various other photo gallery services which you may find preferable: some of them are examined here -

How do I delete a picture on both Photo Stream and Camera Roll?

I would like to keep my iPhone4 Photo Stream and Camera Roll Albums free of crappy photo's. I would also like to reduce my time managing these two albums. Is there a way to delete a photo on Camera Roll and have the same photo automatically deleted from my Photo Stream at the same time?
I use iPhone4 with iOS 5.1.1, OSX 10.6.8 and AppleTV software version 5.1

Copies of Photo Stream photos you have saved to your Camera Roll on an iOS device or imported into events in your iPhoto or Aperture library, and photos you have copied into a folder on your PC that's not part of My Photo Stream, will not be deleted when you delete photos from Photo Stream.
