  It seems you want to use iCloud photo library as an archive of photos. It was not intended for this use.

  iCloud Photo library FAQ - Apple Support

  It is designed to allow you to have full access to your library without having to choose which photos and videos you store on which devices because it connects to your library using iCloud to all your devices, you registered this service. You can choose the option to Optimize Storage iPhone, which will automatically replace your photos in full resolution with optimized for your phone free storage.  Such use allows to my 64 GB iPhone store more 18 000 photos and 877 videos with fast access on my iPhone and elsewhere, while occupying only 4.8 GB on my physical device. The library full resolution resumes of more than 112 GB of storage which I can access in iCloud.com, on my computer, or by requesting the download of contents of high resolution on my iPhone with that I will make.

  Otherwise, if this does not work for you, you can use other services, such as Dropbox, archive your library, so you can completely remove the photos from your iPhone. If you deleted pictures from your iPhone now, they would delete the iCloud photo library so that he be kept in sync as your Contacts or Notes.

• Removal of old photos of the iPhone with iCloud photo library on

  I had a 6 128 GB iPhone for a couple of years and I bought a Macbook Pro about a year ago. I've been running iCloud photo library - but not Photostream - and without really look deep into the settings exactly, when I take pictures on my phone they usefully automatically found in the Photos app on my macbook. When I remove photos from my phone, they also seem to disappear too from my mac.

  Recently, in an arrangement of happy until I started running low on space on my phone. My question is, is my library in 'mirror' between my devices? IE if I say, delete all my photos from 2012 to 2014 my phone, they are removed from my macbook too? Obviously, it would be disastrous.

  I guess my question is, what are the best settings to have a situation where my photos will be driven by my phone to my laptop, but then stored on my laptop indefinitely?

• How to remove photos from my iPhone without deleting icloud photo library?

  My iPhone is full and I wanted to remove some photo to release some spaceso I supported the up to iCloud and I started to remove photos. ***? They are endangered to iCloud! Now, they're just gone. It's crazy! Image capture you can import to everywhere, but the function "delete after importing" seems to have disappeared. I'm sure this question has been beat to death, but how you remove photos from their phone without removing them from their photo library iCloud?

  So frustrating.

  Does anyone know of a solution to this?

• Disabling iCloud photo library on my iPhone

  Hello

  I tried to disable iCloud photo library (~ 15000 photos) on my iPhone.

  1. Everything went well (or almost) until the end: ~ 250 pictures remained on my iPhone, not be deleted after hours.
  2. I tried to manually delete the remaining photos but it deleted on iCloud as well.

  Why do I always have photos on my iPhone? Is that because I "IPhone storage to optimize" turned on?

  I would like to disable iCloud library turns off and not of picture about it. How can I keep everything on my iCloud library?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Try going to settings/iCloud and stop synchronization of Photos. Just to be safe, go to settings/Photo and camera and make sure that the synchronization stops there. Now you should be able to remove the pictures from the phone.

• ICloud photo library - double images and memory iPhone 5 c problem

  Hello

  After months of deliberation, I decided to convert my Aperture on Mac in photo library and link the family three iPads and my iPhone to iCloud photos. I made sure all software updates have been installed on all devices, including the Mac. After 22 days of continuous download, I have now all the pictures in the clouds!

  However I have 2 problems. My 30 k + original images expanded to 40 k + with thousands of duplicates and my iPhone 5 c memory (8 GB - what a mistake!) is now full and I cannot take photos more or update applications on it. I guess that duplicates are albums on iPads.

  Before I converted, I checked and the documentation stated that the Photos would be recognition of duplicates and not replicate in the cloud. I also checked the box to optimize the images on my iPad and iPhone not realizing that even with the optimization of the paltry memory on the 5 c would be totally inadequate - the iPad is very good.

  Now I have more documented and install PhotoSweeper on the Mac seems a possible solution to the problem in double - the alternative is to go through each image!

  Re the problem of the iPhone, the only solution I see is to stop the iCloud photo library on the phone and then remove the images on the phone. Who will free the memory, and I will then be able to take pictures I have to take pictures by other means. It's not ideal for a functioning flawlessly, but when my contract is up this summer the next phone will be a greater amount of memory and hope it will be seamless!

  Any advice please before going further?

  Photo Sweeper is a good package and works well and is course - so are duplicate Annihilator for Photos and PowerPhotos

  You could try turning off ICPL on the small phone, cleaning of duplicates and leaving all s = complete uploads and downloads and stabilize and they new the on with photos on the iPhone - optimized it can handle then - worth a try

• Trying to get pictures of the iPad to the iPhone. Clicked on iCloud photo library. Ended up deleting most of my photos in a second. Anyone know anything on this subject?

  I tried to make my photos to iPad iPhone. The ordinary photo stream was not working. I clicked on iCloud photo library in the iPad settings. Says delete a hundred photos. I clicked on that and all of a sudden, the vast majority, perhaps 600 deleted and no sign of them anywhere. Probably shouldn't have but reset iPad hoping to my last backup I had all, unfortunately not there

  During a turn on iCloud photo library on a camera that have been placed on the device via the sync from iTunes are deleted from the device. Original must be always on your computer (if they are not, they would have been removed from the device next time you synchronize with iTunes). The following link has received instructions on how you can add these photos to your iPad (see the section titled "if some of my photos are missing after I turn on iCloud photo library?': get help with your iCloud photo library - Apple Support )

• ICloud photo library is not download all of the images on my Mac or iPhone

  

  I created iCloud library when it was made public, and it has worked very well, apart from the fact that there are about 100 images (out of my 5 k library) who download any Photos on my MacBook Pro and my iPhone 6. have a problem where, for some reason, quite a number of pictures in my iCloud photo library appear under vacuum with a symbol of little cloud instead of the image. I assumed it was always download files in the background, however, this has been the case for weeks and there is no activity indicated. I restarted my iPhone, my iPad and my Mac and did all sorts of other troubleshooting ideas, but they seem to refuse to download. Help! I have all the latest updates installed.

  They are peppered throughout my library and do not seem to have anything in common. I assumed it was always download files in the background, however, this has been the case for weeks and there is no activity indicated. I restarted my iPhone, my iPad and my Mac and did all sorts of other troubleshooting ideas, but they seem to refuse to download. When I click on one to see it bigger, it fails with an error, but shows just an empty pane.

  You have "Optimize Storage" activated on your iPhone or Mac?

  Have you checked, it makes the photos have been uploaded to iCloud?  Open the Photos.app to the iCloud web interface www.cloud.com and check if the pictures in question have the same problem on iCloud.

  Added: I see the white rectangle with the cloud icon, every time I edit a photo. The icon turns white, until the modified version has been downloaded to iCloud and synchronized at the back.  If you are that many of these clouds icons seeng a great prt library is not yet synchronized.

  Will there be a progress bar in the iCloud preferences on your Mac?

• If I disable iCloud photo library, my photos always get included in my General iPhone backups?

  I don't want to use iCloud photo library at all so I turned it off.

  The photos that I now keep stored locally on my phone always get included in backups of General phone? Or they are excluded?

  Thank you

  They are included when iCloud library is off and excluded when the iCloud library is turned on.  You can see the option to include or exclude in the settings manually > iCloud > storage > Manage Store > iPhone > look down.

• How to remove photos from my iPhone 6 s, without deleting icloud photo library on all my devices with ios 9.2.1?

  I just updated my iPhone 6s ios 9.2.1 and whenever I try to remove photos from the iPhone library, it is said that they will remove the iCloud photo library on all devices. I don't want to do, I want to save the photos on my computer, but free up space on my phone. Help!

  If you have iCloud library enabled in the iPhone then any photo that you delete from your phone is also removed to iCloud and all devices connected to this library to iCloud. It is not a setting or an option where you can change this while continuing to use iCloud photo library. You can reduce the space required on the phone by activating the settings > iCloud > Photos > optimize iPhone storage. You can suggest that Apple offers more options via: http://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html

• How to handle Monster pictures 30 K in iCloud photo library? Segment or archive, suggestions?

  Hi there-

  I managed to hang a new iPhone 7 now and want to put up, but I'm struggling under the weight of a photo 32 000 iCloud photo library. Yes, I know it's my fault - we had iPhones for years, I'm an accountant family and the taker of the photo, I take too many pictures, I save too many photos, I have teenage girls who take a LOT of pictures.

  SO I think they are in the library of iCloud.  When I'm on my phone with iOS 10, I see "All Photos" and the total is slightly less than 32K - BUT I don't really need TO see all 32,000?  In fact, I don't really want to?  I would like to know that they are saved in their original resolution, but never need access to all those who, on minutes notice: they took 10 years to build up!

  Can I 'archive' in iCloud library?  They segment somehow?

  I have 7 more than 256 GB iPhone memory - isn't a storage thing, it's just something exaggerated.  I'm considering a facility clean b/c I'm also about 1000 apps more than 10 years old.

  But once I sign in iCloud, I think that 30K pictures will come streaming back, right?

  Other info:

  -My use of Photos on my 6 current iPhone is about 40 GB

  -J' have 800 GB available on a 1 TB iCloud account

  -In my iCloud account, it says that my photo library ICloud is 97 GB

  -I don't have an unlimited Smugmug Pro with photo storage account (although I'm not really all 32K of these-there are many who are not guards).

  -J' I download Google Photos to try to save it, but there still 30 000 pictures to back up.

  -J' have a MacBook Air but (gulp) do not have upgraded the operating system to have Photos for Mac yet.

  I would really appreciate it here a road map to get out of this situation - or not "stack" putting them all on my 256 GB iPhone 7 more and just accumulating more!

  Thanks in advance for the help!

  Why not only the photos in the photo library of iCloud?

• Help to use ICloud photo library

  I created iCloud photo library on my computer desktop Mac, 2 iPhones (mine and my husband) and iPad.   I have several questions:

  1. I have 56 779 pictures in my library on my Mac.  It is has been download since last Friday and today says download 35 939 points (89,14 GB 200,61 GB).  Why is - it take so long and what I can do to speed that up?  I want access to my photos on all devices, but want the originals on my Mac as well.

  2. the photos taken on my iPhone not charge other devices.  Photos of my husband takes is... two phones are put in the same place.

  3. on my phone at the title 'Moments' my phone says 6 322 photos, 133 videos and under that it says download 3 929 points.  His phone said 23 974 photos, 207 videos updated 07:19 - once AGAIN the two phones are put in the same place (I changed the settings even last week when I updated our two phones for the latest operating system).

  4. on my Mac why their different images in 'All the Photos' under 'Albums' in the Photos listed by Date?

  5. on my iPhone - why different Albums show on my Mac?  Example: We just returned from a trip and this week I put in place several new albums.  They do not appear on other devices in the title of the Album?

  6. do I need to move the picture on our iPhones to somewhere else on the Mac, so keep them forever?  I don't want pictures endangered?  I have more confidence?

  I would appreciate help, can someone give me?  I'm completely lost?

  My system is an Early 2008 iMac

  OS X El Capitan 10.11.4

  IPhone 6 - 9.3.1

  Photos 1.5

  I have original ICloud library checked and updated download for Mac. I also have my Photo Stream and ICloud Photo sharing checked.

  Thank you very much!!!

  1. the download process is very slow. Some of those who have large libraries of photos posted it took a month. There is nothing you can do to speed up the process except try to minimize access to the network on the computer.

  2. try to settings/iCloud and remove the synchronization. Wait a few minutes and then resynchronize. Have you tried the signature to iCloud and then reconnect?

  3 see above.

  To avoid losing images make sure you have 2 backups of the computer on 2 separate drives.

• use iCloud photo library to dropbox mimics auto upload

  Hello world

  I recently decided to ditch dropbox (if possible) and finally the transition myself completely to iCloud.

  One of the biggest problems I encountered replicates the capabilities of automatic download of pictures of the box. I use the feature all day on the job for sending and attaching photos to technical support documents and really don't want to start to send me photos for quick access on my work PC.

  I wonder if its possible to allow to iCloud photo library on ONLY my iPhone, so my Camera Roll is sent to the library automatically, but nothing else. I have a 500 GB photo library on my Mac at home that I have in no way shape or form, would be affected by iCloud.

  I hesitate to pull the trigger and just turn on my phone, I'm not sure implications, and what will exactly happen. The online documentation is so vauge what you can and can't do with iCloud photo library, so I'm tender hand to the community for advice.

  In simple terms (TL; DR), that's what I'm trying to accomplish.

  -use iCloud photo library on my iPhone ONLY to reproduce the functionality of automatic download of Dropbox IE: access iPhone Camera roll on work PC and my Mac.

  -do NOT use on my Mac library (more than 500 GB)

  Please let me know,

  Thank you

  -Aaron

  You can turn on iCloud photo library only on your iPhone if it's what you want. The photos will be automatically download in iCloud. Note that if you delete a photo of either on the phone or iCloud it will be automatically removed in both places.

  You can access photos of your work PC or Mac connecting to https://www.icloud.com/ , then go on the Photos app here.
