• Solution of fast backup, photos of google or iCloud photo library?

  Hey there Apple community, im in a bit of a situation difficult and need a few thoughts. My iPhone more than 6 s is fully charged to 64 GB of photos and applications. My iMac is fully loaded with photos in iphoto, Yosemite. I have 10% left in my iMac HD. It won't let me save my iphone. I know I go through my iphoto library and organize and delete some photos and consolidate the events before migrating to the new application photos and then move it to icloud photo library, but I'm very limited on time in the next few months and won't be able to do. I wrestle on a quick temporary solution for backup, but don't want to spoil or lose my precious photos and other data.

  But this is what im thinking, tell me if this would mess things up.

  I would like to either temporarily back up all my photos on Google photos for now from my iphone, and then when I'm ready, I'm going to migrate my iphoto library all on my imac to the photo library to icloud and then transfer my photo library from google to the photo library icloud (but not sure. If it works Someone at - it experience with google pictures and Mac?).

  Or I simply activate the iCloud library of photos on my phone while it backs up my current pictures on my phone last year and then optimize my storage on my phone. Then a few months starting now to migrate my iphoto library 268 GB of Photos app on my iMac running Yosemite and then migrate the library of Photos in this same icloud photos library that I opened a few months back from my phone (I understand I will pay $10 per month for the size of the library). I feel like the latest one is the best option, but I'm not sure if I do it my icloud library won't sync and consolidate properly because I started with my current pictures on my phone and then brought in my library of photos together for the last 5 years at a later date. How do you think any community?

  Why not get an external drive and move the photo library of the computer to the outside. If successful, you can then remove the library on the computer, or just keep it as a backup.

  The article is for iPhoto, but the basics are the same.

• iCloud-photo library: only use it as backup?

  I finally got serious about my photo library to backup to the cloud. Because I have Apple products, it seems that iCloud photo library would make the most sense. And with the recent drop in prices, it is now affordable.

  But here's what I can't determine after reading articles: I don't really have interest in what my library that is available to me through devices. My interest in iCloud is simply as a back-up for my photos, in case my house burns down. Can I then turn on iCloud photo library for Photos on my Mac, but leave it for my iPhone and iPad? My concern is that even an optimized thumbnail for almost 15 years of images would take too much memory on my mobile. I'd rather keep manually import the photos that I take on my iPhone for pictures with sync and let the pics to save them from there.

  Who is?

  And the video also back - up iCloud photo library, right?

  Yes, you can turn on or off on a per-device basis, and Yes, it synchronizes videos.

• Why the pictures/Photos Library.photoslibrary/Database/metaSchema.db rewrite? It seems to be causing large backups

  Since going to OS X 10.11.4, I was make great daily backups (+ 3 GB) on time machine. This seems to happen even if I hadn't used the machine so far here. I noticed that the Photos had a new date of all everyday even if I had not opened it or loaded new pictures, I looked at his files using Terminal.  It seems that ' Photos/Photos Library.photoslibrary/Database/metaSchema.db' was the file with the new date of every day. In my system, it is about 3 GB.

  What is the explanation for the file being rewritten every day? More importantly is it possible to prevent it? (Or Plan B: is there any similarly to tell Time Machine to ignore it when it finds files modified - assuming the metaSchema.db reconstruction is something that could be done without too much damage, if I already had restore the pictures of the machine time?)

  There is continually a synchronization process with your system photo library.

  And if you use iCloud the cloudphotosd library is also synchronize with the library, even if you use any Photos that day here.  Your system photo library is continuously in use.

  To avoid this, you need to have a library empty your library of the system, but then you cannot use Photos with the media browser or iCloud.

• Photo backup not file photo library

  I have a lot of pictures, all placed in my library of Photos under Photos OS X App folder.

  This file is supported by the Time Machine software and backup to CrashPlan.

  But I also want to save all my photos in the form of images - not inside a folder of Photos (just in case that the photo library will be unavailable)

  Is it possible to backup all my pictures from Photos App AS a pictures?  (Like before you import them to the Photos APP)?

  Thank you

  You can export the Photos.app pictures in a folder on an external drive, if you want to save the original separately.

  Pictures of launch, then select all the photos in the photo album all by opening the album and entering ⌘A.

  Now use the command "file > export > export original unmodified for... elements.

  And select the oldest on the external drive as the destination.

• Hello! If I icloud library disabled, will be always saved pictures? I know that your backup stores the photo library of all devices and because I'm not all devices to be synchronized I think I'm safe and won't lose my pictures/videos. Right?

  Hello! If I icloud library disabled, will be always saved pictures? I know that your backup stores the photo library of all devices and because I'm not all devices to be synchronized I think I'm safe and won't lose my pictures/videos. Can someone please clarify?

  If you want your photos backed up, you must import them into the photos on the computer application that synchronize you with. iCloud photo library is a repository for all the photos for a given iCloud ID. However, it is not required for the care of your photos. I do not use iCloud photo library - import my photos into the library of Photos on my Mac.

  A backup of your device iCloud will save your current film, but if you remove anything from this film, then it will not be available for retrieval at a later date, because backups replace the previous backup version. A backup is so not an archive safe for your photos or videos.

  Photo stream keeps the last 30 days or 1000 photos taken with your camera if you have Photo Stream on, but once again, it's a temporary storage that gets crushed. Photo stream is intended to provide a method of sharing photos between the signed devices on the same iCloud account, but is not intended as an archive.

  Import your pictures and videos on a computer means that all photos and videos are kept in a library on your computer and will be accessible. It is the only safe way to archive your photos:

  Good luck

• 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

  D

  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.

• iCloud Photo library of backup hard disk external

  Assuming that you don't use referenced files, copy & paste "Library.photoslibrary Photos" package to a hard external lead backup all my pictures in Photos? If I open this file on another computer, I will be able to access my photos?

  Assuming that you don't use referenced files, copy & paste "Library.photoslibrary Photos" package to a hard external lead backup all my pictures in Photos?

  Yes, you can simply drag and drop the photo library on an external drive.

  But make sure, that the file system of the disk is Mac OS extended (journaled).  Otherwise, you may experience problems with errors in the file. (such as described here for Aperture: using Mac OS X extended, for your Aperture library locally mounted volumes)

  Turn the meter of "Ignore ownership on this volume" for the external drive, if you want to open the library of another Mac.

  If I open this file on another computer, I will be able to access my photos?

  Yes, if the first mac has the same version of Mac OS X installed. Versions of Photos must be the same.

  Using iCloud photo library? In this case depends on your preferences to "Optimize Mac Storage".  Optimize Mac storage' active your original photos will be in iCloud and not on your Mac and not copy on the external drive.  "Then you will need to disable optimize Mac storage" and wait for your photos to download before copying the library.

• After you export a photo library of backup, how to delete the photos in the photo library of the system

  Hi, I use the pictures 1.2

  Each year, I export my library on a backup drive and give it the name of the given year. My next task was to remove unwanted pictures (about 10 K photos) from that same year, then keep those 'important' for me (stuff of family, work and other landscapes and al. stuff: about 2 000 pictures.) I don't remember how I used to do with iPhotos, but it seemed obvious. Now, with Photos, I see only two choices: either watch the complete list of the photos, then click on those that I don't have anymore (I do not see me scroll 12 000 photos and videos) opening of the events at the time and the option click all photos to delete (and not just remove them from the event).

  Deleting events without opening it won't because I get a message telling me (for good or bad reasons) that the photos are always going to be there. But then, imagine that I could remove the same with content pictures, I have about 300 events to remove, and they can be deleted one at a time.

  So my question is (and I already put it as a feature request to apple, just in case) how I mass delete unwanted items and their photos, or better yet, how can we keep all the photos that I like (Favorites, for example, or photos with celebrities...) and delete the rest?

  My library contains more than 200 GB on my MacBook Pro 500 GB HDD. I can't let it grow to 150 GB each year. and I guess I'm not the only one with this problem. In addition, I travel a lot in many countries with bad Internet connections, so I won't use iCloud.

  Thank you!

  How are 'export' your photo of the backup library?  You create a copy of your current photo on the backup disk library or using "file > export" to export the photos? Just to be sure, that your photos are safe.

  My next task was to remove unwanted pictures (about 10 K photos) from that same year, then keep those 'important' for me (stuff of family, work and other landscapes and al. stuff: about 2 000 pictures.) I don't remember how I used to do with iPhotos, but it seemed obvious.

  You can quickly find the photos to delete by creating a smart album with the rule "the Photo is not favorite" and "Date is in the range...". »

  File > new Smart Album:

  

  You can add a rule "keyword is not 5 stars", if you have added the side star as well.

  Then, select a range of photos in this smart album and enter the ⌘⌫ (command + delete) key combination.

  This will completely clear photos of the library.

  You can use the same combination of keys to remove the photos from iPhoto event albums in the Album section.  If you simply enter the delete key, the photo will be deleted only from the album, but remain in the library.

• photo library & backup

  IM soon to take a vacation and will have a lot of pictures on my trust 5 s 16 GB iPhone.  I have 5 GB of storage on iCloud, photo library, optimized images and photo stream on.

  Assuming I take thousands of pictures, photos will be stored on the storage of the iPhone.  How can I keep the free 16 GB for general use by "pushing" the images from the photo library?

  Thank you...

  The more you can do using iCloud photo library is to enable the "Optimize iPhone storage" setting settings > iCloud > Photos. There is no way to completely remove the photos from your phone without them also being removed to iCloud photo library. However, the storage parameter Optimize can be very effective in reducing the amount of space needed on the phone.

• I DELETED VIDEOS FROM PHOTO LIBRARY AND THEY REMOVED OFF THE COAST OF IMOVIE!

  So I was about to export a video to my iphone out of storage ram. So I decided to remove the videos from the library until I discovered, it removes off imovie! I didn't know that! Like imovie takes lots of storage. I deleted the videos of recently deleted, so now they are gone!

  Is it possible to restore them?

  And if you're advising me to download something, no malware or viruses please.

  If you have enabled iCloud photo library, that's how he wanted to work. iCPL synchronizes all changes and actions, including deletions, across all your devices and computers.

  The only way for you to restore these files is from a backup, preferably on your computer.

• Cannot repair the photo library. The best way to restore from iCloud library?

  The photo library of the system is damaged and cannot be repaired.

  It is said "Photos has attempted to repair the library"Pictures Library 2015 ", but can not open it." .

  
  

  I first met problems with this library a week before and at the time where I could repair and open the library successfully, but lacked a month value of photos.

  Given that it was successfully in the iCloud library, I left it to re - sync - but this process suspended several times before the end, and the photo library of the system now seems to be permanently damaged.

  I have no project of marked or impression of faces in the photo library of the system, then I would be happy just to restore from iCloud.

  My plan is to put in place a new - empty - library and then that designate the library of the system.

  If I understand this right, the new (empty) system Photo library will now resynchronize with iCloud and will copy all the contents of this library of back to my Mac.

  Is this correct? It is the most effective way to restore my library?

  And while I'm here - what is the best way to manage a very large library? I had my photo library become corrupted ten three or four times over the past years and have found it necessary to divide into single years to prevent this. I overlooked this piece of household by the end of 2015, and now it's happened again... Surely, there must be an easier way to manage libraries of images of several years?

  Is this correct? It is the most effective way to restore my library?

  Yes, if you don't have a useful upward on your Mac.

  How do you call a large library, I've never had a corrupt Library, I think that your problems are not the result of the size of the library, but rather something else. From my experience it is recommended to maintain a local upward, I use Time machine, but also have a second to the top using a third-party backup solution.

• ICloud using photo library for the first time

  I am considering switching to iCloud photo library for the first time - mainly so I'll be able to use the new functionality of memories in iOS 10. However, I have quite a large library of Photos on my Mac and I'm worried about the mistakes of synchronization, bugs and any damage my irreplaceable photos. I have a Time Machine backup, but each backup on which generally only lasts a week or so, and with a large library of errors can take some time to appear. Should I be worried? Are there precautions I need to take?

  In view of all the people who use it, there are very few messages on issues. Since you have a backup, you can still recover. You can consider to get a 2nd external and make a copy of your photo library in order to have 2 backups. Depending on the size of your library, you may need to purchase additional iCloud storage as free storage space is 5 GB. With a large number of photos, it will take much time to complete the synchronization. Some people have posted their s took 2 to 4 weeks. Our respective synchronization went well and we had no problem.

• Access iCloud photo library on iPhone

  iPhone 6 + 128 GB
  Latest version of the software running
  A lot of memory on the phone on the left

  I recently went to Apple to try to fix a problem of very small software (safari repeatedly crashing) I got with my phone.  The solution? A clean wipe of the phone.  If that's what I did.  However, I went home with what should be a solved problem, and he was always to be funny.  Being me, I'd rather have a glitch safari with all my previous settings and tact on my entire phone apps to have a glitchy safari while trying to drop my phone back to a semblance of normality.  In these circumstances, I restored my latest backup (which was the day before) and had my phone 'back' to me.

  Unfortunately, I can't seem to get pictures of my iCloud is displayed on my iPhone.  I can see them on my PC via iCloud.com, they are always there, but I have NO idea how to make back to my phone.  I tried to turn the iCloud photo library button in the settings of the iPhone, but it does not, either.  I don't mind even if they don't come back to my iPhone (although, in the end, I would have PREFERRED that, as I tend to look back in time with photos of my kids and doing collages with current photos), but I just want to be able to ACCESS.  Like... whatever it is at this point, really, to be able to see the pictures on my iPhone.

  I tried searching everywhere on how to accomplish only access photos of icloud for iphone, but everywhere only gives advice on photos of the icloud iphone, which I'm perfectly capable of doing.  It's just the opposite, that seems to be annoying.

  Can anyone help?

  Just a guess - in addition to the activating/deactivating the key to iCloud in the settings of the iPhone photo library, I would also try signing out & in icloud - perhaps with a reboot or restart forced between the two.
