What happens to my photos if i delete my icloud backup?

what happens to my photos if i delete my icloud backup?

Nothing.  Deleting the backup only deletes the backup.  It doesn't delete anything else from iCloud or from your devices/computers.

  • IPhoto will not open with pictures when I click on the icon.  It does show that it is open on top toolbar. What happened to my photos?

    iPhoto will not open with pictures when I click on the icon.  It does show that it is open on top toolbar. What happened to my photos?

    Did you run any updaters recently, i.e. like just before this happened?  Try this first fix: make a duplicate copy of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete  the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file,, Cache.dbt, that is located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences..

    Nothing.  They remain exactly where they are.

  • What happened to my photos after upgrading to IOS 8

    What happened to my photos after upgrading to IOS 8.0.2? How do I recover them?j

    Hi arnpa,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you've updated your iOS device to iOS 8, the photos should still be on the device. The photos will be organized differently than they were previously, though.
    In iOS 8, the Photos app organizes photos by date instead of by device or photo source. Here are some questions you might have about Photos after updating to iOS 8.
    Where can I find the Camera Roll?
    The Photos app in iOS 8 doesn't separate photos and videos based on how they were added to your device. Instead of a Camera Roll, your photos and videos (even ones that you didn't take with or save to your device) are organized by date in Photos.
    When you open the Photos app and tap the Photos tab, you'll see your photos and videos listed by Moments, Collections, and Years. Tap Moments to see individual photos organized by date and location, tap Collections to zoom out to a more condensed view, and then tap Years to zoom out even more. Tap a collection or year to zoom back in.
    And you'll now have a Recently Added album, which shows the photos and videos added to your device in the last 30 days, organized by date. To see your Recently Added album, tap Albums > Recently Added.
    Where can I find the My Photo Stream album?
    In iOS 8, there's no longer a separate My Photo Stream album. Instead, photos that were in the My Photo Stream album are now in the Recently Added album.
    If you were using iPhoto for iOS, make sure that you migrated your photos.

    If the photos are no longer on your device, and you backed up to iCloud or iTunes, you may need to restore from a backup:

  • What happens if I click "delete backup" in order to delete the iCloud backups from my sisters phone off my device. Will it delete everything on her phone?

    So a while ago when I got my phone I started a new Apple ID account/ iCloud.. Then when my sister got a new iphone I gave her my id to use too. In settings-general-usage it says that my storage is almost full. I then click on manage storage and it shows my phone and my sisters phone and how many gb or whatever. Also it says "last backup failed" and other stuff that's Irrelevant. Now when I click on my sisters phone I have an option to "delete backup" MY QUESTION is if I click the delete backup button will it just delete the iCloud backup off my phone OR will it totally delete everything involving the backup off my sisters phone forever??? Please help! Thank you so much!!!!!

    Deleting a backup deletes the backup only from the iCloud storage, not anything on the iPhone.
    The iPhone's iCloud backup will be updated at some point - automatically when the iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network while connected to a power source unless the iCloud backup is turned off on the iPhone.

  • What happens to my websites created in iWeb when iCloud replaces IWeb (Rumoured)?...

    What happens to my websites created in iWeb when iCloud replaces IWeb as is rumoured... they will be lost?

    To tell you te truth We should should've all expected this...
    With no new updates to iWeb in a good couple of years, even though it's an amazing piece of software enjoyed by million. It upsets me no end to see apple continually doing this and what have they done exactly? Left goodness knows how many customers worried and uncertain about a product they love and rely on, I do anyway.
    One of the main reasons I have a Mac isn't only the build quality and the OS, although that does have a fair amount to do with it. The main reason for me moving to Apple and investing in a machine all those years ago was iWeb, being a creative control freak, I love to be able to get out my Mac, open iWeb and in minutes create a new launch page for a new mix, upgrade some of my services a customers asked for, recreate any aspect of how I present myself to people at a click of a button... I know you can upload to FTP server but phooey, why damage a good thing.
    This as annoyed me no end... so I'll not doubt I'll be taking it out on an Apple employee tomorrow when I take back my blown power pack for my MacBook pro, my third one in 8 months... I sign of the way apple is going?
    PS as for iOS 5 ... Seriously underwhelmed, we've been given features 90% of which should have been launched in iOS3!.. Oh, although I can't handle windows anymore, have you see. The new Windows 8 layer? Watch out Apple, he's behind you

  • HT4707 what happens to Keychain data when I move to iCloud?

    what happens to Keychain data when I move to iCloud? Can I still access Keychain passwords?

    Thanks Carolyn,
    And yes. Keychain does still work.
    But why-oh-why do Apple have to give contradictory information yet again in the sign up process? It seems they just want to cover their arses so much that they would rather give out misleading information, that something might go wrong, just in case it does, than tell us everything will be OK & then if we lose data, we, (Americans with a penchant for litigation), are automatically going to sue thier bollocks off.
    This happens so many times with pop-up warnings. I'm running two macs & an iphone and I very nearly didn't go for Lion & icloud and seriously considered going back to Windows. Only a chance conversation in an Apple store stopped me and made me persevere through the warnings.
    Cheers,
    Steve

  • What is deleted when I delete my iCloud backup?

    What will I lose when I delete my iCloud backup?  Pictures? Notes?

    You'll lose that backup file but nothing that's on the device.
    Just make a new backup after deleting the old one.

  • I deleted my icloud backup by accident

    I deleted my icloud backup from my iphone by accident, but I can still see that it shows up on iCloud.com. Anyone know how to get this to show up on my phone again? I lost all my photos when I reset it.

    You are not seeing your backup on icloud.com.  What you are seeing is data synced from your phone to iCloud.  (Syncing data with iCloud is different from backing up to iCloud.)  To recover synced data like contacts and calendars, you simply go to Settings>iCloud, confirm that you are sign into your iCloud account, then turn Contacts, Calendars, etc. to On.  If prompted, choose merge.

  • Is it possible to delete your iCloud backup while you're restoring from it?

    I was restoring my phone from an iCloud backup when all of a sudden my phone kept yelling at me that my iCloud storage was full. I mindlessly deleted the OLD backup from which I was restoring from to make room for the new one. I'm not sure if my phone was completely finished with restoring and wanted to know if it was possible to delete an iCloud backup while restoring.
    Thanks!
    Edit: sorry for saying "restoring" so many times in three sentences !

    Okay thank you so much! Before my restore, I only had ~0.3gb free on my phone and now I have 3gb so I thought it was because the restore didn't complete. I guess it was because not everything was backed to iCloud!

  • If you delete your icloud backup will it delete everything that was backed up?

    It will only delete the backup from iCloud.  It won't delete anything from your phone.

  • What will happened to my photos after i delete icloud?

    i want to delete my icloud account
    but everytime i press the button to delete
    i have a wornining msg: "if u delete ....... all of ur photo will delete from this ipad"
    so how do i delete it without loosing my pics?
    thanks

    You will lose all the photos stored on Photo Stream, but not your Camera Roll photos or the photos transferred from a PC or Mac. If you don't want to lose your Photo Stream photos and you haven't transferred them to the iPad, open Photos > Photo Stream, choose Edit button and copy all the photos to your iPad

  • What happens to files when they are deleted on the iPhone?

    When you delete files like videos, podcasts or emails directly on the iPhone by swiping it and hitting the "Delete" button what happens to these files? Are they instantly removed from disk or they go to some sort of "Recycle Bin"?
    Do you know that bar on iTunes showing how your iPhone disk is being used, with "Audio, Video, Photos, Apps, Other and Free"?
    I wonder if having more than 4Gb on the "Other" category is related to this practice in any way?

    Other includes data such as 3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app, email stored or cached locally including email attachments, Safari history, cookies, and cache, notes, voice memos, visual voicemail, contacts, calendar events, etc.
