What file do I backup to the cloud to have a recoverable iPhoto library?

I'm looking at using an online service like SugarSync or Dropbox to backup by data. To have a recoverable backup do I need to upload iPhoto Library to the cloud?

You can't backup your iPhoto Library to the cloud.  To backup your library you should copy it to another hard drive.  I suggest you use Time Machine (it came with your Mac) with an external HD to backup your Mac's hard drive or, at a minimum, your home folder which will include all of your documents, music and photos.

  • I am planning a long vacation and taking my laptop but it is my home computer that my new ipad and ipod touch are synced too. I know i can backup to the cloud over wifi but how can i do things like delete photo albums

    I am planning a long vacation and taking my laptop but it is my home computer that my new ipad and ipod touch are synced too. I know i can backup to the cloud over wifi but how can i do things like delete photo albums instead of having to manually delete pictures one by one on the Ipad. Is there any way also to add my pictures to the ipad other than through email. i am assuming that i can't just install itunes on the laptop and sync to that. I have been told that i always have to sync to my original synced home computer for that.

    The links below have instructions for deleting photos.

  • I upgraded to the new IOS, but lost data and apps. When I try and restore the only backup I see is the one made AFTER the lost data. How can I access an older backup from the cloud?

    Why don't you talk to apple and find out if backup exists? That conversation with apple will stop your guessing.

    Ron,
    I too need to make "Real Copies" of images and hate doing anything directly from the OS because of the chance that my LR catalog gets out of Sync with the actual images on the computer.  So I make the copies inside LR with an export routine and then move the copies inside of LR with the normal drag and drop.  Once the export preset is created it can be executed from the Library Grid by right-clicking on the image (or selected images) to make the copies.  My settings are as follows in case you are interested:
    This is the first time I have posted an image before and I am not sure if you will be able to read it or not.  The contents from the export preset in the image above are as follows if that helps:

  • Does apple store the .mp3 and other files I've purchased 'in the cloud'?

    Does apple store the .mp3 and other files I've purchased 'in the cloud'?  I had to restore my PC and forgot to back them up.  If not, I assume I would potentially need to purchase them again, right?  Please help.

  • Is there a way to Move files to the iCloud thus freeing up disk space on my Mac? Or does iCloud only sync (replicate) files between my Mac and the cloud?

    Is there a way to Move files to the iCloud thus freeing up disk space on my Mac? Or does iCloud only sync (replicate) files between my Mac and the cloud? I want to free up disk space on my Mac and assumed that the icloud would be a good way to do this, but having 'moved' 70Gb of files to the iCloud drive (I've upgraded to 200Gb storage) my Mac is still nearly full and I've realised that it seems to just Sync files just like dropbox.

    So, the big question is did the Apple guys confirm that this is how the new iCloud drive should be working?  I'm guessing, from your response, that this is indeed the case.  Are they going to fix this anytime soon?  I thought that this was a new function of the iCloud drive in Yosemite.
    I just want an online storage facility to back up my photo & music collections.  I did look at Dropbox as they have a good deal going with their Dropbox Pro, however this is still just a sync service where the Master files reside on your local disk drive - although I have read that there may be a way to work around this.  Still not ideal.

  • Can I restore text messages from a destroyed iPhone 4 if I didn't backup in the cloud?

    Can I restore text messages from a destroyed iPhone 4 if I didn't backup in the cloud?

    If you backed it up using iTunes on your computer, then you can restore it from there. If you didn't back it up at all, then no. There is no place to restore it from.

  • Is there anyway to restore an iphone to new from a different computer and then use a backup from the cloud?

    Is there anyway to restore an iphone to new from a different computer and then use a backup from the cloud? At&t said that they unlocked the phone but that it needs to be reset in itunes and retored for it to work. However, I do not have access to my computer as I am overseas and need to put a new sim card in. Anyone had this problem and know a way to go around this?

    If you have an backup on iCloud. You can restore via iTunes (on every computer) or via your iPhone itself.
    And yes, you can restore the backup via iCloud.
    To set iPhone to new do this: Settings > General > Reset > Erase all data and Reset all Settings.
    It take a while. But after this, you can restore backup via iCloud.

  • Contacts Failed to Backup to the Cloud on LG Lucid

    Whenever my phone does a backup to the Cloud the only thing not getting backed up is my Contacts. Keep getting error message "Cloud Contacts Failed"

    Well, sorry.  I thought you meant contacts weren't backing up.  I don't use Verizon's cloud at all.  I find it rather unreliable.
