No Photos in the iCloud icon

It is my understanding that all it take with either my iPad iphone are stored in icloud.  Yet, when I opened the icloud icon on my home screen indicate none.  Only two icons appear.  They are numbers and Pages.  Photos shouldn't be listed?  They appear if I open the Photos icon on the home screen.

I'm confused.  Are the photos on icloud or they are on my device?

Thank you.

Log on to iCloud.com from a browser on a computer and see if they are there. Otherwise, they are not uploaded to iCloud and there are many causes for this. If you have Photos on under iCloud, they would be part of a backup to iCloud but not visible on iCloud. If you have iCloud library turned, they should appear on iCloud but this comes with the other consequences, see here:

    If I upload my photos to the iCloud library remain my original photos on my MacBook Pro?

    Yes, they do. See:iCloud photo library - Apple Support

    Note that if you open the Photos on your Mac and go to preferences and click on iCloud at the top of the preferences window, there are 2 options: 'Download the originals of this Mac' and 'Optimize Mac storage.' If you choose the option optimize and your Mac is low on storage space, then the originals can be replaced with smaller optimized versions.

  • Why can I not see my photos on the icloud for my Ipad?

    When I was upgrading my ipad to the updated software it hung.  I've been back up my photos to the icloud for more than a year, but they do not appear here my ipad or all of my devices families shared?  Why is this?

    I have the setting all put there to store and backup is more than 5 GB.  My ipad is now frozen in the State that he wants to find a factory setting and I'm scared, I've now lost over 4000 photos.  Help!

    You should check iCloud.com, Photos. If you, the pictures are stored here they are uploaded to the iCloud (and will be downloaded to a device if you connect).

    If you don't see all of the Photos, they are not in iCloud. You can check if you have a backup (on iCloud or iTunes) but if you do not have to guess they're gone.

    Regular backups to iCloud do not include photos if iCloud library is set on "on".

  • How can I do to keep my photos in the icloud, when I delete all my photos from my iphone?

    How can I do to keep my photos in the icloud, when I delete all my photos from my iphone?

    If you have iCloud enabled library, all the photos that you delete from your phone will be deleted to iCloud and other devices connected to this library to iCloud. The more you can do to reduce storage required on the phone is to activate settings > iCloud > Photos > optimize iPhone storage.

    Apple is currently not all parameters of cloud storage only. You can suggest that more options are available through http://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html

    There are 3rd party cloud services that only have a cloud options.

  • videos and photos in the iCloud drive?

    I would use iCloud as an external hard drive.
    I want to keep my pictures and videos on iCloud and remove them from my phone.
    I understand that if I delete the pictures and videos from my iphone which photos and videos will remove also iCloud.
    I now have a plan of storage of 1 t because I can't afford to lose photos or videos, and now my MacBook Pro is also complete.
    Another thing is that my iphone can not save on the iCloud - it is April 2015 and it has never worked since.
    All opinions are appreciated.
    See you soon

    iCloud library is not designed as an external storage or a backup service. It is designed as a synchronization service to put at the disposal of all your images on all your devices and sync all of your changes to these devices.

    If you are short on storage space, set the settings of your Photos to keep only a local library optimized. Library of photos on your computer should, however, be at full resolution, so it acts as a backup in iCloud. Buy an external hard drive if you wish.

  • How can I remove photos from the iCloud without deleting them on my macbook

    I try to delete pictures off my iCloud, but leave them on my macbook? I deleted them on my iPhone, which is synchronized with the cloud, and they immediately disappeared from my macbook.

    If you synchronize the photo library on your Mac and your iPhone with iCloud, the two libraries will be always the same.

    Create a second library of Photos on your MacBook, that is not synchronized with iCloud. This library allows to keep the photos, you do not want to synchronize on your iPhone.

  • posting photos on the small icons while remaining in the folder

    I have a disc of photos, that I need to be able to reference quickly.

    on my xp and 7 machines, when I open the file, each icon a tiny version of the image that opens when I clicked the file.  This allows an easy search without having to open each one just to see what they are.

    However, on my Vista machine, each icon is the same "mountain stage", so I have to open the file to look at the picture, greatly increasing the time it takes for me select the files I want.

    I tried to use view to change the tiles thumbnails, etc., but still have the same image on each icon.

    someone knows how to fix this?

    Thank you

    Ben

    If you have already configured to show thumbnails instead of icons, then we will try to rebuild the icon cache.

    Just to make sure, here's how to configure Vista to display thumbnails:

    Go to control panel (start > Control Panel)
    Open System
    Click Advanced in the left menu "Missions" system settings
    On the Advanced tab, click Performance settings
    Check the box 'Show thumbnails instead of icons'

    Apply > OK > OK

    Here's the procedure to rebuild the icon cache: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/117229-icon-cache-rebuild.html.  It may take time for each file, but if all goes well, he'll recover icons in the thumbnails (since it is the selected option) when he does.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • iCloud icon disappeared?

    All of a sudden today, the iCloud icon disappeared from my iMac and MacBook. I could recover my files via https://www.icloud.com/ but I miss the convenience of having the icon in the Finder. Any idea?

    First of all, go to the Finder by clicking in the bottom of the screen of the Mac, or by selecting the icon of the Finder on the dock. In the Finder menu in the upper left corner of the screen, choose Preferences.

    When the Finder preferences box opens, click the tab of the sidebar. In the Favorites box, turn on the check box next to iCloud drive. This preferences dialog allows you to choose the icons you see in the file open window pane, so you can turn off the icons of the things you can never use here. When you are finished, click on the red button in the upper left corner of the preferences box.
