Can I remove the library from my Mac after the photos are uploaded to iCloud to free up storage space?

My Mac Book Pro storage is almost full, and I would like to transfer my photos to iCloud and remove them from my Mac. How can I do this? And how to display in iCloud?

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 add items to a project can then remove the clips?  I'm trying to free up space on my hard drive. Thank you.

    Not while you're still editing the project.  When you have completed the project and shared it and are sure that you do not want to do any editing more far, you can delete the whole project.

    If you do a significant amount of iMovie editing you really need to put your libray (ies) on a large external hard drive.  Another thing you can do is to divide your work between different libraries and move those that are not currently on a removable drive.

    On your phone, go to settings > iCloud and make sure that you have downloaded all your photos on your phone. Then click on "disable the iCloud photo library." But even once, make sure that you have all the photos uploaded to your Mac computer or your iPhone.

    performance download and install Process Explorer.

    You may need to find the specific system process that takes all (there are a lot of threads related to the 'System' process) of the CPU resources and slow down your PC.

    To do this Process Explorer, try:

    Once you have Process Explorer installed and running:
    In the task bar, select view and check 'show process Tree.
    as well as the options 'display the lower pane '.

    Move the cursor of your mouse over any column in the right pane and
    Make a right click and check the following boxes:
    "Command line" and "Version".
    (This will provide some of the detailed information you need)

    Then click on the CPU column to sort processes by CPU usage %.
    Then click on extend the process 'System' or 'Explorer' to expand and identify the specific subprocess using most or all the resources.

    Then click the sub-process or process listed under the system process that is using most or all the CPU %. Once the process or subprocess is highlighted, do a right click and select the options listed: online search. This should bring that out there on the web about this process.

    Note: some entries as solution, System (as explained above) process Explorer and svchost entries can should be extended to view details (sup process), in this case click on the + to the left of the entrance.

  • Can't see the photos on my iPhone iCloud

    I see no longer the vast majority of my photos to iCloud on my iPhone, although they are still visible in the iCloud himself.  Is there a way in which I bring "back"?  I tried the usual solutions (i.e. of library iCloud switching between power; connect my wifi connected phone) but have had no joy.  I also talked a great length with appple support on this issue.

    The photos have disappeared from my phone when I signed on iCloud to try to restart the download process, as my photos had been stuck on my phone and not entered in the iCloud for a few months.  This problem settled on a little yesterday when I updated my iOS (most of the pictures are of the iClouf) but is not entirely resolved, either.

    Be grateful for any ideas

    If you have any problem loading/downloading pictures to the library and the disconnection has been already made, you have only one step left. To restore the configuration / device as new without restoring from a backup. In order to preserve the photos that are not downloaded, you need to import to the computer and if you choose to restore from your backup, there is problem most likely will return.

  • can't find the photo I uploaded

    I recently paid $49 for 5 photos, but I can't find the picture I thought I downloaded. Download this new? But what happens if I upload two images (so wasting money /)

    Hi Peggy,

    You get pay for the license, not for downloading. You can download the same image of license history several times. To do this, go to license history > click the image > save image of office/library

  • I just updated my software on my mac to capitan and downloaded pictures from my i phone in my library. The photos are displayed correctly in the library, but when I download on eBay, Kijiji, Web site, they are on the side here.

    I've just updated my software on my mac to Capitan 10.11.4

    I had no problems until now when downloading pictures from my i phone, which is also aware of the software updates.

    Since the mac update, I now have problems with uploading photos.

    The photos are transferred to the library and are displayed as it should, however when I try and add photos on Ebay, Kijiji, or my site the photos are displayed on the side here.

    I can't upload photos on Autotrader at all now!

    I have tried to turn the photos in the library, in order to temporarily solve the problem, but the photo then displays exactly how she has changed.
