• Download videos from iCloud iPhoto (or Mac)

  Hello

  My apologies if this is a stupid question, but I can't find the details anywhere.

  Recently, I changed my settings of the iPhone in order to optimize my library and my videos and photos quickly change on my phone from the versions low resolution with high resolution in iCloud. I used to transfer my movies iPhones via plugged the cable and import in iPhoto (photos transferred via wifi, so I've only connected with the cable from time to time to get my videos). Now, they are in iCloud, I seem to have to connect to iCloud, download each individual video and transfer it into iPhoto. I know from reading other messages say that iPhoto should ' t be for videos, but historically all of my iPhone photos and videos are stored here and I am reluctant to have them in separate locations.

  Is there an easy way to transfer videos on my Mac, without having to select each individual video and without having to connect via cable everyday before he gets sent to iCloud?

  Thanks much for any help.

  The easy solution would be to have your Mac synchronization with iCloud photo library as well. If your main photo library on your Mace too large to be synchronized with iCloud, you can set up a library of Photos of second, smaller than your iCloud photo library on your Mac. This sync with iCloud and download all your auto videos automatically.

• Confused about icloud, why is he active? Do not understand why it is active on my iphone and another system

  I have a laptop Dell Inspiron where my original iTunes began.  Since then, I have bought ipad and ipad mini and my wife and I have the iPhone 6 s.  In addition, my itunes account is linked to 2 other offices where I listen to the music.

  I recently bought my iPhone.  All our music is under her iTunes account.  Since the activation of my phone I noticed my desktop (Dell XPS), two ipads and my phone all show the cloud the need to listen to music.  I don't know how it happened, and I don't like.  This icloud does not work for me.  If it was a repository/backup for my music and my music was on my media as before I am happy but now when in my car, I am instructed by my AT & T account when I want to listen to music from my phone or ipad where as before the music was on my phone or ipad and I just listened.  How to get back to this way of using my iTunes on my system and peripherals?

  Stop the sync music via iCloud. Copy the iTunes library on your computer and the device via iTunes sync music.

• Confused about iCloud, iCloud Drive and save?

  Hello everyone. In a bit of a difficult situation here, while in a fight with a friend of mine, they have permanently deleted all the photos of us. We want these memories back and it turns out that she has pictures enabled in iCloud and also the iCloud drive. She got an iPhone 6s. I don't know what this means or how to work with it, but could you please tell me how can she retrieve photos with the icloud? A maybe need a ripping software? Something will help you! Thank you.

  iCloud is not a backup,

  But it can browse iCloud.com and connect on the photos to see if they are there. If they are not looking for and in the recently deleted folder. Other than that you have no real backup.

• iCloud, iPhoto and hard drive

  I recently bought space in iCloud and store all my photos there, but why are still on my hard drive?

  I want to free up space and only haccess in iCloud.

  because this isn't how it works - if you have little space on any device, select the option use photos optimized on this device – all photos will always be on all devices, but if space is needed smaller versions will be there

• iCloud Drive and confusion of local storage

  I'm quite confused on iCloud drive works. I had assumed that it could be used like any other option storage file, for example a connected locally external hard drive. But apparently not exactly. Here is my request:

  I have a huge (hundreds of gigabytes) Aperture library. Since it is much larger than the storage available on the SSD in my Macbook Pro, I have it on a classic 1.5 TB external harddrive. But I want to save the library to a cloud off-site storage site so that if my house burns down, accidents of HD or someone steals, I have not lost anything. But as I copy files from my drive hard external to iCloud my internal SSD drive fills up completely and the backup finishes. It's a mystery to my as to why iCloud drive isn't teated by OS X like any other volume "attached" to which I can copy or download local files.

  My first question, then, is it really how it is supposed to work? If so, my second question is: can someone explain the logic behind this behavior? My last question is: is there some way that I can install iCloud drive on both , my external hard drive and my drive internal, but both have the same account iCloud?

  Thanks in advance for all advice and counsel.

  iCloud is a synchronization system, not an external storage system. If you delete them from the computer/device they will be deleted to iCloud. The files are stored locally on your hard drive that you have discovered.

  I can't explain the logic, but this is how it works.

  Send feedback to Apple. They will not respond, but at least know that there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it can become the problem solved as soon as possible.

• Download iCloud

  I'm a bit confused about iCloud. I noticed that images of the iPhone are appearing on iCloud.com, what is good; but I need local copies of images and in the opening. Is this possible?

  You can download all the photos in your iCloud Phot library via the web interface at www.icloud.com.

  Www.icloud.com open, connect with your AppleID, and then launch the Photos.app.

  Open the Photos.app on this page and select the photos in the photo album of all.

  You can select a range of photos at once by selecting a single photo, hold down the SHIFT key, selecting the last pictures.

  Click the download button, and then import them into Aperture.

  Opening cannot synchronize with iCloud photo library, only the Photos to Mac app.

  You can stream your devices to Aperture, if you select my photo stream on your iPhone, iPad, etc. and in the opening.

  Or, if you synchronize Photos for Mac on your Mac with iCloud, you can use the command "share > add to open" in the Photos.

  It's essentially what I'm doing, synchronization with iCloud by using photo library and sending the finished opening for archiving photos.

• Photos about El Capitan with iCloud library active lose local photos?

  Recently, I wanted to use iCloud library to have a backup of my personal memories cloud. I had my library set up in the Photos of El Capitan and allowed iCloud photo library. It is still downloading but I have known a few disruptive effects.

  Then, suddenly, I realize that a few pictures and movies have an exclamation point. Clicking on it it tells me that the photo was not able to find the original file, or sometimes he says he wasn't able to download the original to iCloud and I should try again later.

  The thing is: I'm on the Mac, where is the main library of Photos. Must download from here. He is the master copy. Why pictures removed some local files in the first place and try to upload them to iCloud again when he should just have this file on the local hard drive? This happened to someone?

  By logging into iCloud.com and go in the Photos app, I can see the movie file is there. So he managed to download there, thank God. But how can I re - link the file missing to this copy iCloud again?

  Here are my questions for this situation.

  (1) is it possible to create a smart album showing me all the pictures to what Photos can't find the local file? An album with all the pictures and movies that have an exclamation point?

  (2) is it possible to reconnect a file missing a copy in iCloud? Where can I download the file from iCloud and re-connect the missing file of Photos in a local file on my hard drive? Or do I need to import it back this picture and put manually into any album that I had it in earlier?

  (3) is this normal download process? Pictures downloading images and movies to iCloud, then delete the original or download the file from iCloud? Is it a problem of weird first sync that will resolve itself once I have let the download process to iCloud finish? But why deleted pictures from the file in the first place? This seems odd to me.

  (4) if nothing helps and I see that iCloud got all original and everything is there, but local library refuses to get the original to iCLoud files, how can I reset my local iPhoto library and redownload all icloud without endangering my album, photos, videos and all the settings and changes I made?

  Thanks for your help! It's really appreciated.

  1 - iCloud iPhoto Library s not a backup - it is a method of sharing to ensure that libraries on multiple devices are the same - all changes made on any device are made on all

  2 - doe photos not "remove" anything - users - if something is missing it's because of the action of the user

  3 - Although what you see does not sound as if it was your problem before you start making changes allow the process to complete stabilize - during the downloading process things can be wobbly

  4. There is no smart album to identify the missing originals

  5. in the preferences Photos do youhave that it set to download the originals on the Mac or use photos optimized?

  6 - did you do any cleaning system or run software cleaning as MacKeeper or CleanMyMac (Hint - NOT - they are not necessary and can spoil things wrong)

  leave again once the process completed before you make changes - one each thing is downloaded and stable then return for further assistance if you need

• After upgrade of photo of El Capitan stream ceased to import to iPhoto

  I upgraded to El Capitan, but after reading a lot of discussions, decided to stay with iPhoto instead to use the Photo. Have not yet opened photo. But now notice that photos taken with my iPhone no longer come in the steam of the Photo in iPhoto on my iMac. Preferences still show Photo Stream and Auto Import are checked. On my iPhone, however, in the settings > iCloud > Photos is on, but iPhoto is not displayed. Could this be the problem? Possible that iCloud is Photo Streaming pictures now instead of iPhoto?

  Or is it something else in the upgrade to El Capitan?

  Thank you.

  Disable the photo stream in the system/iCloud preferences window

  

  and in the iCloud iPhoto preferences window.

  

  Reboot and reactivate the two respectively. It helps to start photo stream.

  I want to improve my iCloud storage but it says I have to pay each month. Does this mean that my iCloud storage will continue to increase every month?
