Oct 3, 2014 10:18 AM in response to rslu047by KiltedTim,If you're talking about PhotoStream, it only holds 30 days worth of photos in the cloud. That's all you'll get when you enable PhotoStream on a new device. They were already downloaded to the old one and will remain there until you disable PhotoStream.

Oct 3, 2014 10:55 AM in response to gail from maineby rslu047,I was able to "share" them and retrieve on new iPhone 6. Concerned however that according to KiltedTim, they will be gone after 30 days. Is there anyway to keep them longer somehow?
