using iCloud for photos

Decided that I would try using iCloud for synchronization of photos to all my devices - ipad and iPhone.  A simple and way big to keep all the features of update of the sounds.  I followed all the directions for setting this up and find that this more complicated that we shouldn't.  I finally got some pictures in the library iCloud for my computer, but of course they do not appear on the iphone or iPad.  I apparently won't implement the iphone or the ipad properly.  I think I tried everything I could find on this operation, but nothing works. For some reason when on the iPad and try to access the iCloud.com with Safari, I get the message that the server is not responding.  When you do the same thing on the iPhone, it connects but it takes me to a window that says "Setup iCloud on this device."  Seems weird like iCloud is already on this currency.   Bottom line is that I spent hours too much try to do the job as well as to purchase more space icloud. I might have to overcome my 8 year old grandson to help me.

Yyou don't use iCloud.com to display your photos on your iPad and your phone, you use the Photos app with iCloud library active, just like the photos on your Mac.

  • Can I use iCloud for storing photo backup?

    Hello everyone, I was wondering if it is possible to use iCloud as photo backup storage. I have a lot of pictures on my OS 10.7.5 and save them on the cloud. Is this possible? is it possible even with an older version of iPhoto?

    Thank you friends mac colleagues.

    Ana

    No iCloud by itself. You can save the images on iCloud drive, but then they are just images randomly without structure, unless save you them in a kind of files that will help you organize them in the drive.

    If you want to archive and save photos, you should be import on your computer, or you must use a Cloud service of archiving such as Dropbox or Google Photos. It is the only way to store your photos.

    Good luck

  • How by-pass iCloud for photos of digital devices?

    I recently upgraded to an iMac 27 "new and I want to spend all my photos my old computer.  My old system was a Mac Mini that I never used iCloud on because the internal drive was small so I stored all my pictures on an external hard drive.  A majority of these photos were taken with my digital camera.  I know that you only have 5 GB of space free iCloud and my photos are much more than that.

    How can I keep my photos on my computer without them going to iCloud?  I use iCloud for pictures taken with my iPhone and my iPad so I don't want to disable this feature.

    Go on your Mac in Photos > Preferences > iCloud. There you can "download for Mac originals" where they will be offline. I hope this helps!

    Hello

    I bought an extra storage in the hope that I can save files other than those created by Apple applications. In particular, I want to back up all my photos that are currently managed by Photoshop, as I am a passionate photographer. I fight to see how I can use iCloud for anything other than files created by Apple apps.

    Anyone know if this is possible?

    Thank you very much.

    No, it is not possible. You can use iCloud for storing photos using the Photos app and iCloud photo library:

  • How to use iCloud for PC without an iOS device?

    I received an invitation to join a place to share photos of iCloud.  I'm not an Apple user, do not have an iOS device (or plan in the near future).

    I've created an Apple ID iCloud and have iCloud account.  I downloaded and installed iCloud for Windows on my PC.  However when I try to run the program and enter my Apple ID and password to connect, I get the following message:

    Unable to connect

    Your identifier Apple must serve to iCloud on an OS X device or an iOS to install before you can use iCloud for Windows.

    Is this to say that I can't access the iCloud photo sharing subscription since I did not have an iOS device to set up my account?  ICloud photos can be shared with users who have an iOS device to that?

    Thanks in advance.

    You can create an Apple on a Windows PC ID, but you cannot create an iCloud account - it is a separate additional process and unless you've been able to create one on a Mac or iOS device you don't have an iCloud account, only an Apple ID. This is why the error message you see.

    iCloud accounts are essentially positioned as a way for Mac/iOS users synchronize data from their devices and are a free service at the Starter level; the control panel is intended for users of Mac/iOS, which also happens to have a Windows PC. They are not intended for Windows users only. Unless you can find a way to set up a device to iCloud on a Mac or an iOS device, you will not be able to move forward.

    iCloud sharing photos can be configured as a public or private - the first are directly accessible in any web browser, but private sharing requires you to have iCloud account. If your source is not willing to set up a public share (that would be accessible to the world in general) you will not be able to access it without an iCloud account.

  • I can't use iCloud for backup of data from third-party applications

    I use an iPod touch 6th generation and I wanted to use iCloud for backup of Twitter, IG, Pinterest etc. I've tried searching steps. So far I've been finding the same set of instructions:

    Settings > iCloud > storage > select your iDevice > turn on apps you want to iCloud to save

    But after clicking on the storage, I don't see that 'manage storage' and below, the option 'change of Plan '. Why does my iPod not not the option choose iDevice? I can see the option to save the data of integrated applications, but not applications, third-party. My iCloud that unit is on but my Photos under icloud is disabled. I really need the extra space. What seems to be the problem?

    Click Manage store (settings > iCloud > storage > Storage manage and you see what moves backup iCloud storage.)

  • iCloud for photo library

    Hello

    I decided to download all my library of Photos of the iCloud. I bought the 200 GB storage plan.

    I recently bought and started using a new macbook El Capitan running and using Photos for my replacement of my old iMac running iPhoto. I also have a MacBook Air 2 and iPhone 5 s, which are connected to the cloud for all my photos.

    I copied all the pictures of my old iPhoto library in my new photo library.

    My new belonging Photos is about 67GB and is stored on a HARD drive and I started to download on my storage iCloud about 24 hours ago.

    I followed the progress and the very small bar sometimes shows that she is not progressing and then will start to make further progress. He is currently "Download" and indicates less than a quarter full.

    Where can I find the estimated time remaining? Why is capricious and sometimes indicates that nothing is downloading?

    I checked that my internet speed and I'm at a speed about 4 MB/s download.

    What I have to disable all programs and applications on my mac to copy a little faster? I have to do something for my other devices to increase the speed of copying?

    Tips or advice would be a great help because I'm not 100% convinced that this will copy successfully, and I may have to go back to the use of the HARD drive for my library of Photos.

    See you soon!

    Terri

    It is quite normal that the download will require several days.

    My library with 40000 photos and videos took a little over a week to download in iCloud.

    There will be periods of time where you will see no visible progress. This can result from the conversion of the elements in a format compatible with iCloud, for example, if your library contains many videos.

    Just let it run and not to interrupt, or download will start and be even slower, because the second time, the library must be compared to the elements already in iCloud.

  • storage icloud for photos.

    We have the ability to store our photos in icloud, but noted that if all the photos deleted in the device will automatically delete the backup of these photos in icloud. I really wonder of using icloud here. Icloud do same as economy or remove photos in the camera, why do we need to use icloud?

    • If my storage device is 16 GB how 50 GB of storage icloud will benefit a user?
    • Anyway is to store the photos in icloud regardless of deleting photos from device?

    All valid questions and points you present!  iCloud is not designed as a platform for storage on traditional cloud for backups.  If you are looking at that, and I highly recommend do you, after some preliminary research, then you should consider these options for third party such as Dropbox, Flickr and my personal favorite Google Photos.

    iCloud is designed so that all your pictures/videos are synchronized and accessible on all your devices.

    Whatever decision you make, good luck!

  • Does anyone use iCloud for everything?

    Does anyone use iCloud as your main service (i.e. for synchronization, documents of cloud and primary email address)? I mainly use it as my primary service, but finds that she has its drawbacks, especially when it comes to Mail and web messaging on icloud.com - it is a bit old and lack of functionality.

    Wonder if anyone has experiences and possible suggestions to fix/improve the service?

    I use my account for all iCloud. It is my main email account, iMessage account, allows you to synchronize my calendars, is my main calendar, synchronize and stores my contacts, contains most of my personal documents (although I also use the box, Dropbox and OneDrive).

    I had no problems with it. What features Miss do you? I rarely use iCloud.com. I mainly go there through the apps on my iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac.
