When you take a picture with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod, the photo is automatically saved to your device. But what happens when you delete a photo, or if your device is lost or stolen? With iCloud, you can have a copy of every photo and video you take, no matter what happens to your device.
iCloudbacks up your photos and videos every day, as long as your device is connected to a power source, Wi-Fi, and is locked. iCloudalso saves a backup of your device when your battery is critically low.
If you delete a photo from your device, iCloudwill delete the photo from all your devices. If you delete a video from your device, iCloudwill delete the video from all your devices, and the video will be replaced with a thumbnail.
If you have a lot of photos and videos, it may take some time for iCloudto back up your entire collection. You can continue to use your device while iCloudis backing up your photos and videos.
You can access your photos and videos from any of your devices, or from iCloud.com.
If you have an iPhone, iPad, or iPod with iOS 8 or later, and a Mac with OS X Yosemite or later, you can use iCloudPhoto Library to store all your photos and videos in iCloud, and access them from any of your devices.

Why did my iPhone not backup all my photos?
If you have an iPhone, then you know that it automatically backs up your photos to iCloud. However, sometimes it doesn’t back up all your photos. So, why did my iPhone not backup all my photos?
There are several possible reasons why your iPhone might not have backed up all your photos. One possibility is that you have a lot of photos and videos, and your iPhone ran out of storage space. Another possibility is that you have a slow internet connection, and your iPhone was not able to backup all your photos in time.
If your iPhone did not back up all your photos, then you can try to back them up manually. To do this, connect your iPhone to your computer, and open iTunes. Then, select your iPhone in the iTunes menu, and click the “Photos” tab. You will see all the photos and videos that are on your iPhone. To back them up, select the photos and videos that you want to back up, and then click the “Export” button.
If you have a lot of photos and videos, then it might take a while for iTunes to export them. So, you might want to export them in batches. To do this, select the first batch of photos and videos that you want to back up, and then click the “Export” button. When the export process is finished, select the next batch of photos and videos, and click the “Export” button again. Keep doing this until all the photos and videos have been exported.
If you have a slow internet connection, then you might want to back up your photos and videos using a USB cable. To do this, connect your iPhone to your computer, and open iTunes. Then, select your iPhone in the iTunes menu, and click the “Photos” tab. You will see all the photos and videos that are on your iPhone. To back them up, select the photos and videos that you want to back up, and then click the “Export” button.
When the export process is finished, disconnect your iPhone from your computer, and connect it to a power source. Then, open the “Photos” app, and select “Import”. Select the photos and videos that you want to import, and then click the “Import” button.
If you have any other questions about why your iPhone did not backup all your photos, then you can contact Apple Support.
Why are only some of my photos on iCloud?
If you’ve been using iCloudPhoto Library, you may have noticed that not all of your photos and videos are uploaded to the service. You may see a message that says “Some photos and videos are not included in iCloudPhoto Library because they were edited on your device.”
What’s going on? Why are only some of my photos and videos being uploaded to iCloud?
The answer has to do with how iCloudPhoto Library works. When you turn on iCloudPhoto Library, your device begins uploading all of your photos and videos to iCloud. But, your device only uploads photos and videos that have been edited on your device. Photos and videos that have been copied or moved to your device, but not edited, are not uploaded to iCloud.
This is done to save storage space on iCloud. Photos and videos that have been edited are stored in iCloudPhoto Library, while photos and videos that have not been edited are not stored in iCloudPhoto Library.
This can be a bit confusing, but it’s actually a feature of iCloudPhoto Library that helps to save storage space. If all of your photos and videos were stored in iCloudPhoto Library, your iCloudaccount would quickly run out of storage space.
If you want to store all of your photos and videos in iCloudPhoto Library, you can do so by disabling iCloudPhoto Library’s “optimize storage” feature. This will cause your device to store all of your photos and videos in iCloudPhoto Library, even if they have not been edited.
To disable iCloudPhoto Library’s “optimize storage” feature, go to Settings > iCloud> Photos and disable “optimize storage.”
Why didn’t all of my photos transfer from iCloud?
If you’re like most people, you probably rely on iCloudto store your photos. iCloudis a great way to keep your photos safe and accessible from any device. However, sometimes you may find that not all of your photos have transferred from iCloudto your device. If this happens, don’t worry – you can usually fix the problem fairly easily.

Does iCloudbackup all photos?
When it comes to backing up photos, there are a few options available. You can back them up to your computer, an external hard drive, or a cloud service. iCloudis a cloud service that many people use to back up their photos. Does iCloudbackup all photos?
The short answer is yes, iClouddoes back up all photos. However, there are a few things to keep in mind. First of all, iCloudonly backs up photos that are stored in the Photos app. If you have photos stored in a different app, iCloudwill not back them up. Secondly, iCloudonly backs up photos that have been uploaded to iCloudPhoto Library. If you have photos that are not stored in iCloudPhoto Library, they will not be backed up.

Why did only some of my photos transfer to my new iPhone?
If you’ve just upgraded to a new iPhone and only some of your old photos transferred over, you’re not alone. It’s a common problem that can usually be fixed with a few simple steps.
The most likely reason why only some of your photos transferred is because they were stored in a different location on your old phone. To fix this, you’ll need to change the location of your photos on your new phone.
To do this, open the Photos app and select “Albums.” Then, select the album that contains the photos you want to transfer. Tap the “Share” button and then select “Add to Photos.”

Where are my old photos on iCloud?
With iCloud, Apple provides a way for users to store their photos and videos in the cloud so that they can access them from any device. However, sometimes users may find that their old photos and videos are no longer accessible from iCloud. In this article, we will explore some possible reasons why this may be the case and provide some solutions.
One possible reason why your old photos and videos may not be accessible from iCloudis that they have been deleted. Photos and videos that have been deleted from iCloudwill be permanently removed and cannot be retrieved. If you believe that this may be the reason why your old photos and videos are no longer accessible, you can check the Recently Deleted album in the Photos app to see if they have been removed.
If your old photos and videos have not been deleted, another possible reason why they may not be accessible from iCloudis that they have been moved to a different album. Photos and videos that have been moved to a different album will no longer be accessible from the album they were originally stored in. To check if this is the reason why your old photos and videos are no longer accessible, open the Photos app and select Albums. If the album that contained your old photos and videos is no longer listed, they have been moved to a different album.
If your old photos and videos have not been deleted and have not been moved to a different album, the final possibility is that they have been hidden. Photos and videos that have been hidden will not be visible in any of the albums in the Photos app. To check if this is the reason why your old photos and videos are no longer accessible, open the Photos app and select Albums. If the Hide Photos album is listed, your old photos and videos have been hidden.
If you have checked all of these possibilities and still cannot find your old photos and videos, it is possible that they have been lost or damaged. In this case, there is not much that you can do except try to restore them from a backup.
If you have any questions or problems with accessing your old photos and videos from iCloud, please contact Apple Support.
