ICloud – Photo in icloud are corrupted

I know it may be a little too late to answer but, if you haven't found out a way to get all of your photos to your ICloud, here I how:

You must transfer all photos from PC to Iphone through ITunes. You should have a photos tab that you can select after connecting phone to pc. You must check the box that say sync photos and make sure you select the radio button where you can pick which folders you want transferred over. Unless you want your WHOLE library. After you sync your photos, create a new album on your phone and SAVE those photos to it.

Icloud photo library will only upload photos that were TAKEN or SAVED to the phone. Once you save your photos, go ahead and use icloud photo library to upload those photos to Icloud. To view among all devices, make sure Upload to My Photo Stream is on. If you want to share photos, make sure ICloud Photo Sharing is on.

Im a Technical Lead for a well known cellular company and have done my own research, troubleshooting, and testing to confirm this information.

The clerk at the Verizon store was an idiot.

Getting your stuff from the old iPhone to the new is simple but not automatic.

1. Back up your old iPhone to your computer (encrypt the backup so it saves passwords)
2. Plug your new unused iPhone into your computer and when prompted by iTunes restore from backup. Use the backup you just made from your old iPhone.

That will do it. It is important to NOT set up the new iPhone before you plug it into your computer. iTunes will recognize a "virgin" iPhone and ask you what you want to do.

You should be able to set up Photos and iTunes to sync what you want from your Mac to your new phone. Just leave the phone plugged into your Mac and open each and set your preferences.
