When I forgot my password for home screen and it disabled my iPod, i had to reset my iPod. My iCloud had saved all of my data such as photos in storage or something. But I do not know how to access these photos. Any ideas?

How do i access my photos that were saved in icloud storage from before i had to reset everything. I know the photos can still somehow be accessed because icloud showed that space was being taken up for photos straight after i had reset the device and there were no photos there on the device at the time. So any ideas on how to access these photos from icloud? Any help very much appreciated, thanks.

    The memory on my MAC is full. It holds 4GB of RAM of which 79GB are photos. I would like to back up my photos to an external drive but just do not know how. I do not wish to use time machine. How do I back up my photo library, then delete them from my MAC to free up that 79GB? Thank you.

    Hi
    Just to clarify a couple of points in your post.
    RAM (memory) is different from hard drive space. You have 4GB of RAM, but that has no bearing on the amount of drive space you have, of which we know that 79GB are photos.
    If those photos are in iPhoto, you should be able to move the entire iPhoto Library, from the Pictures folder, to your external hard drive. You can just drag and drop. Do not have iPhoto open while you're doing this. Once it's done, you can double-click on the moved iPhoto Library file to associate it with iPhoto, so that the app remembers where the library is for next time.
    One more thing. When you move a file to a different location, and then delete the original, you don't have a backup. You still only have one copy. So if that external drive dies, you will lose all your photos. Time Machine is a very good way to prevent this from happening. You should dedicate a different drive for Time Machine backups.

  • Hi, I need to take my daughter off from our Apple account and set up her own. So, delete her from one account and create her own. Realize I sound imbecilic for not knowing how to do this. Any ideas? Thank you so much. Jules

    You don't have to take her off your account exactly: she needs to sign out from your account on her computers and devices. Then she can obtain an Apple ID at http://appleid.apple.com and use it to sign into System Preferences or Settings>iCloud.
    However, there are some issue about this. If she has been syncing her calendars and contacts to your account then the data will disappear from her devices, but remain on your account. Individual calendars can be exported  as .ics files and reimported into her account, but if she has her contacts mixed up with yours she will have to enter them individually in the new account (or export yours, import them into hers, and delete the ones she doesn't want.
    More intractable is the email issue. She cannot move an address from your account to hers, so if she has been using a alias on your account to have her own address she cannot transfer it. She will have to create a new email address.

  • I would like to restore certain things such as pictures from my oldest backup, but I do not know how to do this.

    Well, I put my whole question into the title. I have one old backup that is about 3.5g and I would like to restore just some on its content and then delete the rest to free up storage. I am a new user of icloud and find it difficult to access my content that is backed up.
    If I restore all 3.5g backup to my iphone won't it create duplicates, restore old settings and configurations, and use up a lot of space. I really don't want any settings or config. to change or revert back to the old back up. I would like to restore photos, notes, voice memos, and videos I created with my iphone camera.

    I wished I had known this before I said yes to using icloud. I guess those things will be lost and gone forever, since I do not want to lose my present settings and data. Also do not want to go through the hassle of backing up present, then resetting phone, then restoring oldest back up, then backing up oldest backup to pc, so I can safely backup selected items to my pc; then reset my phone again to restore latest back up. It would take way too much time and no guarantee.
    I backed up my phone to my pc, but have not checked it yet, so don't know if it worked.
    If I decide to quit using icloud (which will probably happen since backing up to external hard drive allows me to open backups) what will happen to my present data and settings? Will they just remain as they were without icloud, as they were before icloud? I'm scared to just delete it; not knowing what will happen. Also why is icloud now my outgoing mail server, when my web email was before I installed icloud and how do I restore my web email as my outgoing mail server. I am using yahoo/at&t for all my mail.
    What will happen to my contacts, notes, messages, voice memos, calendar info, alerts, etc., on my phone if I delete icloud?

  • I have accidentally hit something on my keyboard that has minimized the font on my facebook. I do not know how to reverse this. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Whatever I did was done with my right hand, the font is so small that I cannot read it at all. When I have done this using Windows there is a box in the upper right hand corner that I can click on and it allows me to realign my font size back to 100%. I cannot find such a tool on Firefox. HELP PLEASE. I am having to use Windows to go to Facebook and Windows in my area is practically useless.
    Thanks.

    Thank you so much, fixed it right away. I have done this several time, don't know how I do it, but I will know how to fix it from now on. You're the bomb!!!

  • I had a iphone 4 and upgraded to a 5s, I backed up my photos to icloud on my 4 but now do not know how to access them now that I have the 5s.  So I can't retreive my 400 pix from my old backup. Help!????

    I just upgraded from an iphone 4 to 5a s, I backed up all my photos to the cloud with the 4 but now cannot access them with my 5s.  Does anyone know how to do this?  Help?

    Did you restore the backup of your iPhone 4 to your iPhone 5?  That would restore the camera roll photos along with app data, text messages, ringtones, apps and other purchased media, etc.

  • I am starting a new spread sheet in numbers to log my photos. I want to set up a sort button on each column but do not know how to accomplish this. Any ideas?

    I have a Macbook Pro with the latest Yosemite operating system on it. I am using Numbers 3.5.2 and I am making a spread sheet for my photos. I am having columns with different information in them and I want the ability to sort them using buttons. Can anyone help me with this?

    Bunnie,
    The only way to prevent such loss is with a robust backup system.  Apple provide TimeMachine as part of OS X.  Connect an external hard drive to your computer and off you go.  hourly, daily backups.  I have recovered more than one computer this way,
    As far as photos goes I use this approach:
    1) Time Machine
    2) a offsite copy of the picture folder from my user (I literally copy the picture folder to a separate, non-Time machine drive and relocate that drive in my desk drawer at work).  I bring the offsite drive home every coupe months it refresh.
    Numbers will not do a good job for this task (in my opinion) and will not facilitate metadata stored in the pictures.  On bad thing happens in the number file and all your pictures are gone.  In addition if you were to select the menu item "File > Advanced > Reduce File Size..." and, "BAM!!" all your pictures would be compressed and not their original size. 
    iPhoto keeps every change you make to a picture so you can get the original back.  What ever happened with iPhoto will be much worse with Numbers (again, in my opinion).
    Really set up a Time Machine backup.  the drive should cost about $100, use it.

  • I have downloaded the 30 day free trial using Adobe Download Assistant but I do not know how to open it and start using it.

    I have downloaded the 30 day free trial using Adobe Download Assistant but I do not know how to open it and start using it.

    This was so annoying!! It took me a good couple of hours but i figured it out, you need to do the following: Go to the folder where you saved the download (in my case i saved it in My Downloads) -> click on 'Adobe Photoshop Elements 12' -> click on 'PSE 12' -> click on 'Setup' (select the icon which is a box with a shield) -> follow instructions and....voila! You will need to restart when it suggests so save anything else first, then when it reboots you should see the icon on your desktop....hpe this helps!

  • I just purchase an IPhone5C to upgrade from my IPhone4, but I do not know how to get all of my photos that were on ICloud on my Photo Stream (875 photos), on to my new phone. I thought that since my 5C can see Icloud that all photos would be there...

    I just purchase an IPhone5C to upgrade from my IPhone4, but I do not know how to get all of my photos that were on ICloud on my Photo Stream (875 photos), on to my new phone. I thought that since my 5C can see Icloud that all photos would be there... Can someone help me get the pics from my Iphone4 to the 5C?

    Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there (subject to a 1,000 photo limit) until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
    The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.

  • Want to purchase new mac mini but I do not know how I would install programs from dvd without internal optical drive

    I am planning to purchase new mac mini that just came out today but I do not know how I will be able to install programs or save stuff to disk when there is now internal optical drive.  I know I could purchase an external drive but is that necesary. Thanks.

    If you have access to another Mac with an DVD drive you should be able to share it using Apple's drive sharing feature in the OS or at the very least if you have a firewire cable boot into firewire disk mode...

  • Netcfg v2 works - but I do not know how to do this things

    Hello,
    I just succesfully installed netcfg v2. I can connect to the wireless network using
    netcfg2 home
    But I do not know how to do the following thins:
    It is mentioned in the wiki, but I do not get what exactly I have to do for this.
    I have 2 configuration: Home and Uni
    - Can the startup script detect which Networks are available and connect to the available one?
    - When I connect to the "Uni" configuration, I need to start vpnc afterwards. Can I somehow automate this?
    Thanks!
    Nathan

    netcfg2 can do 'dumb' detection on boot. Set SCAN="on" in both profiles, and put the profiles in your rc.conf NETWORKS=() line.
    It'll check if each network is available, then connect if it is.
    There's also an autodetect script in the netcfg2 source, look in the contrib dir in the tarball or git.
