Where are my Icloud Photos ??

I had 5 gb worth of photos on icloud but never synced to my PC. Now my phone is broken and all those pics are on the Cloud but even after downloading the icloud app to windows I cannot access the photos. Is there any way I can get those pics as the phone is beyond repairing.
Thanks in advance,   

No, but if they were in the camera roll on your phone when it was last backed up, restoring the backup to a repaired or replacement phone should recover them.  If your backup is in iCloud, be aware that Apple will delete it after 180 days of inactivity so you can't wait longer than that to restore the backup.

  • Where are my iCloud photos going, and where can I see them?

    I recently upgraded my PC to one that can use iCloud, and I want to sync all of my photos. I wirry that I am losing photos, and I don't know how to view them in the cloud.

    When you enable photo stream on your Mac, in imports photos currently in your photo stream.  However, photo stream only keeps photos for 30 days, even though up to 1000 photos will remain on your device until you delete them.  When you enable photo stream on your Mac, you will only receive photos added in the last 30 days, as the others are no longer in your photo stream.
    If you want to get all your old photos on your Mac, save them to your camera roll (if they aren't already there) by opening your photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  Once they are in your camera roll, import them to your Mac as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    Another option would be to create a shared photo stream containing the older photos and invite yourself (as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99).  Then check Shared Photo Streams in iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream and you will see this shared photo stream on your Mac.

  • HT201317 I had my photo stream on and my icloud all set up, i just had the screen replaced and they somehow lost all the photos off my phone, but why wont the photo's reload back on to my iphone now that im connected to wifi again, where are all my photos

    I had my photo stream on and my icloud all set up, i just had the screen replaced and they somehow lost all the photos off my phone, but why wont the photo's reload back on to my iphone now that im connected to wifi again, where are all my photos???

    When photos are added to the photo stream album on a device (either due to a new photo having been taken or having been synced from another device using the stream) they remain in the album.  However, the syncing process involves copying the photos to the photo stream server where they are kept for a maximum of 30 days, up to 1000 photos.  If a device is reset or the stream is turned off or turned back on again (or in your case, the device was repaired), the photos that were on the device's photo stream album are gone and the only ones to appear are those that are currently on the servers (recall the 30 day limit).
    If some of your photos are older than 30 days, then they are no longer stored on the cloud and hence are not synced down to the iphone.
    Recall, photo stream is just a syncing service, it is not designed as a storage service for photos.  Always sync photos to a computer for archiving.

  • Are my iCloud photos stored? I lost phone abroad and want to access the photos and save them to my iPad.

    are my iCloud photos stored? I lost phone abroad and want to access the photos and save them to my iPad.

    Photo stream photos remain in iCloud for 30 days, and can be accessed by enabling my photo stream on another iOS device or computer.  Shared streams remain in iCloud indefinitely, and can be accessed by enabling Photo Sharing on an iOS device or computer.  Your camera roll photos are included in your device backup.  Restoring the backup to another iPhone or iPod touch should recover them (unfortunately, you can recover them by restoring an iPhone backup to your iPad).  If the backup is an iCloud backup be aware that Apple will delete it after 180 days of inactivity so you'll want to restore the backup prior to that.

  • I opened iPhoto and it opened as if i just bought the computer. Where are all my photos and how do I get them back?

    I opened iPhoto and it opened as if I just bought the computer. Where are all my photos and how do I get them back? Luckily for the most part, I backed up photos on my flash drive, but I had just imported dozens of pictures from my phone. I reopen iPhoto soon after and the prompt asking how I would like to start iPhoto and all came up. I selected what brought me to the iPhoto I open up to every day only without any pictures.

    Are you in the correct account that contains the iPhoto Library?
    Did you ever move your iPhoto Library to an external drive?  If so, and you disconnect this drive, iPhoto will create a new blank one in the pictures folder.
    Check your computer to see if the "iPhoto Library" was accidently moved to the trash.
    If you still can't locate your images, launch finder, and select "all images" in the source column.  This will display all images on your computer.  Be carefull not to delete, move or modify the images you see in this manner, as it will cause issues with good iPhoto Libraries, however it may help us locate where the images are.
    Once you locate an image, click it once, then in the top menu bar, select "view / show path".  This will display it's location along the bottom of the finder window.
    Once you know where the image is, this should help you launch iPhoto to the correct library.

  • Where are all my photos stored?

    where are all my photoes stored?
    and music btw. I am cleaning my drive and need to back up

    Assuming the default setting, your photos are stored in the iPhoto Library, in your Pictures folder.
    Same assumption with iTunes: The Music folder.

  • Where are all my photos you said had been moved

    where are all my photos you said had been moved

    If you had photos in Photoshop.com when the migration happened, then an account would be created for you on Revel using the same Adobe ID unless you had already created one.
    Did you already have a Revel account when your files were migrated?  If you did not, then the photos would move to <YOUR FIRST NAME HERE>'s library. If you already had an account  with an existing library and photos, then migrated files would be moved to a library named "Photoshop.com library". To change libraries, use the menu on the upper left at adoberevel.com or go into Settings, if on an iPad or iPhone.
    Please let me know if that helps.

  • My photostream photos dissapeared - only the last 1000 show...where are my old photos???

    Hi,
    i am totally confused and frustrated with iCloud.
    i had many many photos on my Photostream and am removing all i can from my iphone (after synchroniszing on the cloud) as i run often out of space on the phone. whatever happened, all of a sudden, i can only see the last 1000 images on my Photostream - all of the others are GONE! i havent touched nor deleted anything. on the contrary, i even upgraded my storage to 55GB to be sure i have enough space (iphone reports free 38 GB on my iCloud space). I cant find my older Photostream photos any more neither when connecting from my iphone, nor from my iPhoto and aparently they are nowhere to be found on my iCloud. WHERE are my photos??!!! it will be a huge disaster if i lost them and not sure how to start understanding paying for a reliable cloud and loosing it all? anyone any idea???

    First of all, photo stream storage is separate from regular icloud storage, so buying more space is not necessary.
    When you take a photo on a device that has photo stream turned on, that photo is added to the local photo stream group and uploads to icloud's servers, which then download the pics to other devices where they are also stored in their photo stream group.  After 30 days, the photo is deleted from the server, but not the devices.  (No more than 1000 pics are accepted, after which old ones are delete to make room for new ones.)
    If, however, you turn off photo stream on one device, the photos in the photo stream group will be deleted.  If you later turn it back on, then only photos on the server will download to the group.  Pictures that were deleted from the server due to the 30 day rule will no longer be available.
    It is advised that whenever you have photos appearing in the photo stream group, you move them to a permanent album if you wish to save them.
    In short, photo stream is a conduit for copying photos from one device/computer to another - never treat it as some kind of permanent storage service; it isn't.

  • Where are my first photos in photo stream?

    I don't know where my first photos in photo stream are. Recently I took some pictures and and they are saved to photo stream. But there are not my first photos in photo stream. How can I return them?
    Please help me!

    As far as restoring goes, you will have to check itunes restore from a backup, or have imported them somewhere else.

  • Where are my actual photos??

    Why is it I cannot actually get to the photo files like I could in previous versions?? (iPhoto 7.1.3)
    I'm a big boy and can be trusted to handle MY files the way I want to.
    Where are these stored and how can I access them WITHOUT opening iPhoto?

    Why bother do all that - all of these are faster, easier and safer.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto. With 10.5 you can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

  • Why are my icloud photo sharing albums taking up storage on my phone?

    I am confused why if icloud photo sharing albums are supposed to have unlimited cloud storage why my icloud photo sharing albums are taking up storage on my iphone?

    iCloud is syncing your Shared albums with your devices. All photos you share to iCloud are synced to the devices that subscribe to the  shared album.
    If you want to save storage on your device, store your photos in iCloud Photo Library (Beta) and activate the option "Optimize Storage".
    See: iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
    How does iCloud Photo Library save space on my device?
    If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your iOS device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. iCloud Photo Library stores the original, high-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and can keep lightweight, device-optimized versions on each of your devices. As long as you have enough storage, recent photos and videos that you access the most will stay on your device at full resolution.
    To turn on Optimize [device] Storage on your device, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera, then select Optimize [device] Storage. You

  • Where are  previous icloud settings? - I just updated to 10.8.5

    Where did my iCloud settings go with the update to 10.5.8?  Signed on to locate my iPad and my iCloud settings to find my stuff are gone!

    Try resetting them in System Preferences/iCloud.

  • Why aren't new photos I take showing up in new Photos for Mac? (They are in iCloud photo library)

    all software up to date.  did iPhoto to iCloud photo library transfer move and activated it both on phone and laptop.  (was in beta on phone even from weeks ago)
    only way to get photos on the laptop is to plug in usb and snyc manually.  i assume it's suppose to just be able to sync wirelessly just like  iPhoto did with photo stream?  at least from all I've read it will do that and a lot more.  thanks.

    Sorry no answers here but the exact same problem. New to MAC as well and the guys at the store told me the MAC should be seeing it no problem. Sorry you are having the issue but glad I am not the only one. If I find a solution somewhere else I will try to post it here for you.

  • Where are all the Photo and Music files hiding?

    When I "Get Info" for the Music folder in my Home directory it says that the folder contains 7,672 items taking up 34.87 GB of HD space. On the bottom of the iTunes window it says that iTunes includes 3,514 songs using 16.55 GB.
    Similarly, "Get Info" for the Pictures folder in my Home directory says that it includes 24,989 photo files using 28.22 GB of space. However, on the bottom of the iPhoto window it says that there are 5,574 photos in iPhoto.
    The question is, what are and where are all of these extra music files and photos?
    The numbers quoted in the applications themselves look right. I don't have 7,672 tunes and I definitely don't have 24,989 photos.
    I transfered the folders from my iMac to the Macbook Pro by connecting the iMac in Target Disk mode by Firewire. Is it possible that somehow I created many duplicate music and photo files? How do I eliminate the duplicates to free up HD space?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    What Mac do you have? MacBook?
    Version of iLIfe?
    iPhoto stores and uses a package now for the iPhoto LIbrary which if you do get info and show package contents has your files and library you imported.
    Might want to ask in iLife area too.
