ICloud Question
How do you access your photos etc in iCloud?

My wife selected to move her photos to iCloud from her iPad, and they're gone.

How are they retrieved, accessed?

TIA

The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

It doesn't appear to.

There is an icon that looks like a blue cloud. Click on that and it will bring you to your icloud drive where the images are located- IF she selected the images and sent them to the cloud first. Did she physically delete them from her ipad yet?

You have to download the iCloud application for your PC (I don't know if it's already available on a Mac). Once you've gone through the setup and account steps, you'll be able to access your photos, as well as download them to your PC.

The Mac has iCloud, not as an application or utility, but as part of the OS.

iCloud is not an application, but rather an application suite, one that's directly baked into the framework of nearly all Apple products

On a Mac laptop you can get to iCloud storage many ways, and from any computer you can get to iCloud storage by going to iCloud.com and logging in with your Apple I.D.

On the iPad, sorry, that is where my background falls apart.

Mostly I use iCloud to sync my addresses, Safari Favorites Bar, and for some documents in Pages. Also to keep my Mail tidy.

You may have to "enable" iCloud Drive on the iPad first (according to others):

1] Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad running iOS 8 or higher.
2] Tap on iCloud.
3] Tap on iCloud Drive.
4] Turn On the option for iCloud Drive.

I assume that Martine went to settings->iCloud->photos->photos to iCloud (or something similar) on the iPad? If she did not do that, then that is what she should do now.
