Browse the entire library on iPhone

I recently bought a storage iCloud plan, in order to keep all my photos on the cloud.

Although I have successfully downloaded all my photos (including ones I had saved on my mac), there is a problem, I am trying to solve and impossible to find a solution to the.

Basically, I wish that all my photos on the cloud (instead of my iPhone), and make them easily accessible (at a lower resolution picture, high resolution, when I am connected to the internet).

Although I managed to download all the pictures online, I don't know how can I access them from my iPhone if I delete them the phone storage.

I tried to create a stream of photos shared with all my photos, but this is not practical as it will take a lot of time.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Apple community.

With iCloud library enabled, you cannot delete a photo on a device (or iCloud.com) without deleting each device which uses iCloud photo library (iCloud.com). In order to save space on your mobile devices (and indeed your Mac if you want to) turn on the optimization of the pictures on these devices (settings > photos & camera > optimize storage on your mobile device and Photo preferences > optimize storage on your Mac)

Dynamic optimization, it reduces the resolution of your photos, if necessary, so that you don't notice it occurring initially. However, when necessary, it is very effective, and users have reported libraries being optimized for much less than 10% of their original size in some cases. My own library is about 9% of its original on my phone size.

    When you get the new iPod, you can use iTunes on your computer to select and synchronize the music you want on it, in the same way that you synchronize your current iPod - your iTunes will recognize them as different devices and will remember your choice of synchronization for each, it will not (unless, for example, you restore the backup of your current on her iPod) put the same content on both.

  • iTunes command-L shows the current song and selects the entire library

    I am running iTunes on OS 10.10.5 12.4.1.6.  command-L takes me to the current song, but select the entire library to play the next song.  In other words, if I chose a genre, artist or album to play and I command-L to see the current song, iTunes deselects the genre, artist or album and selects rather my entire library to play the next song.  command-L did not work that way - the genre, artist or album has been selected and the next song played would continue to be of the type selected, artist or album.

    Someone has a solution for this, or is this a bug in iTunes 12.x.x?

    Hello jjnorris,

    Thanks for this info. I know that having the command-L keyboard shortcut doesn't work only in iTunes isn't the Apple experience you expect. Command-L should show the currently playing song in the list according to shortcuts - using iTunes Web site.

    After testing, I wasn't able to reproduce your problem in the same version as yours. The next step would be to re - install iTunes for this refining: OS X Yosemite: reinstall the applications that came with your Mac

  • How can I keep an iPhoto library, update on two Macs without copying the entire library every time?

    Sorry if this has been asked several times before, I looked but could not find an answer to my specific questions...

    Currently, I keep my iPhoto on two different Macs library by periodically copy the package to the main computer entire iPhoto library to an external hard drive, then loading into iPhoto on the second machine.

    The problem is that it takes a lot of time and I find myself doing less, which means that I am often without recent photos I want to join the second Mac. Is there a way to copy only the new pictures/videos added since the last copy was made on the hard drive, which I can then add to the library on the second machine without replacing the entire library?

    I was wondering if it was possible to use the software of incremental backup to backup on the external drive that I could then use to update the second mac. In this case would be that I have to replace the entire library on the second mac every time, but at least it would be a faster process that also copy entire library since the first mac in the first place.

    Or I can just select the most recent photos and videos in iPhoto and batch export via the external hard drive to the second mac? I think I read that this is not copy all information such as good changes? Or am I wrong?

    If none of this is possible in the way that I'm demanding, could someone suggest an alternative photo storage software for Mac that I can have more control on?

    Yes, you can use an incremental backup or clone (like Carbon Copy clone or SuperDuper) program for updating the second library - this will not libraries merge in order to not do that is you make changes to the second library on this machine - it only makes library 2 exactly as 1 library each time that you run

    Hello world

    Drive hard internal 1 TB of my iMac is near capacity because of my growing iTunes library of music and movies.

    To revitalize the iMac that I am eager to free up space, install a new SSD and examine the possibility of moving my iTunes library on an external hard drive to save storage space.

    Here are some questions that I came with:

    1. Is it pretty easy to transfer my existing library on a hard drive external?
    2. It would be a stable and preferred solution?
    3. When you import, choose 'Copy to iTunes' preferences?
    4. Can I use my 2 TB Apple AirPort Extreme as the new destination of my iTunes library?
    5. Can I use Time Machine to back up the iTunes library on the new drive external hard or if it uses the spare wheel on the AirPort Extreme?

    Thanks in advance!

  • Photos wants re - download my entire library

    I recently had my iMac HARD drive replaced under the recall and thought I was smart by backing up my library of Photos on a laptop HARD drive beforehand (so I didn't have to download all the 500 GB to restore). Now, I have my machine backward, I restored the library to its former location, selected photos, on iCloud Photos, set it to the library system and... he wants to download * the entire library to the cloud... even if it is exactly what is already there.

    -A any who successfully restored a local backup of their library and re plugged on iCloud?

    -Am I crazy to think that it should recognize the files on the iMac as what exists in the cloud? I used Dropbox, SugarSync and CrashPlan and they seem to manage it.

    See you soon.

    * I have an asymmetrical connection stupidly (100Mbs down, 2Mbs upward) and both up and down the County towards my quota for re - download isn't really an option. I could remove the library and have it re - download in the coming months, but really?

    There is no help for it.  When you restore a library of Photos, move it to another drive, or even just fix it. Pictures download pictures again to merge with what is currently in iCloud. Must download files to iCloud and compare.

    You can avoid the download to come away with a new library, which will download icloud.

    But this way, you will lose all printing projects - books, calendars, cards.   Thumbnails of faces are not stored in iCloud, so you will need to name the thumbnails of faces again.

    Hi Jim Climo,.

    I understand that you are looking for help with synchronization of photos from an iMac to an iPhone, but you see not options for it in iTunes. I know it's nice to have your photos updated on all your devices, so I'm happy to provide advice to help with this.

    From what you described, your friend might consider using iCloud photo library, allowing photos stay up to date on all the devices that made possible it. You can learn more about this service here:
