Download Photo library iCloud to new drive

Hello.

Problems at several levels with my Mac and will need probably need to download icloud library my pictures and my videos on a properly installed new hard drive.

Once connected and downloading is done, how much time should I keep the Library open and intact while the Mac writes what it takes? I have a little less 40 GB in size with a little less than 13,000 positions.

Thanks for your help.

You can use it while it is downloading and it downloads in the background so it doesn't have to be open - it must be powered, awake and have internet available to download so keep awake - 13 000 will take some time, but no one can predict exactly how long--two many uncontrollable varriables

If you quit Photos while the process is not ready, you'll get a message

  • My photo library iCloud takes 2.5 GB of space, even if it is empty

    My photo library iCloud takes 2.5 GB of space, although it contains no photos or videos. I had this problem for about 6 months.

    Enter the photo library to iCloud and select 'Disable and remove' turns off iCloud photo library. Delete everything in your Photos app - don't forget to check the shared photos and all the albums. Then, re-enable iCloud photo library.

  • Is there a way to download photos from my iPhone to my photo library iCloud without having my iCloud all that downloaded on my iPhone photo library?

    I just got a new iPhone 7. I was able to import all of my photos and videos of my previous iPhone 6 on my photo library to iCloud. I would like to import the photos that I take on my current iPhone to my previous library without going through my library iCloud just downloaded on my current iPhone. I would just like to see all on my Mac. Is it possible that it is possible? Thank you.

    I'm not entirely sure or understand what you're asking.  If you import pictures from your device, it is stored in iCloud photo library.

    If you're wondering if it is possible to store photos only in iCloud, and not the on your device, the answer would be no, because iCloud is not traditional storage cloud based, i.e. it is a sync/mirroring system, allowing you to synchronize all your photos on all of your devices and make them available instantly , or almost immediately in some cases.

  • Download Photos library to iCloud

    After converting my iPhoto photo library, the size of the photo library in the finder is 135 GB and the amount of pictures is a testament to the library is 26 673 when the "All Photos" album is selected. The quantities are close to those originally iPhoto library.

    I then started to load the new photo library on iCloud where, during the download process, the dialog box indicates that it is 'uploading 9306 points (xx.xx GB GB 104,46),"where xx.xx is the current amount downloaded so far.

    The difference in quantity and size of the photo is disturbing. Y at - it a reasonabe explanation?

    From what I saw other people post, the number changes often. See types of files that you can use in the linked article. Which may explain part of the difference.

  • My images full resolution stay in my photo library iCloud after downloading the originals on my Mac?

    Good afternoon

    I am currently downloading my entire photo library on my Mac from my iCloud Photo Library - I want to save the originals on a hard drive external.

    I've always had the value "optimize storage space", will be the full resolution original images stay in the cloud after the originals have downloaded on my Mac?

    Most of them is shot in RAW format and I still want their cloud to use Lightroom without having to import them all into LR first.

    Thank you, Aimee

    Yes, iCloud library still retains full resolution photos, unless you delete them

  • Photo library - iCloud how to remove duplicates

    All, someone knows something about OSX/IOS 'Photos' app will detect and remove duplicates photo9?  My library 'Photos' 63 299 photos & videos of 2135 from may 2016 and at least 10,000 + of these photos are duplicates (based on an analysis of Photosweeper). I have checked the results of the analysis of Photosweeper by doing a manual visual comparison and check images original in iphoto library (using the function location of show) and confirmed that these 10 000 + photos are images duplicate identical with names of different files in different parts of the photo library database.

    So what is happening and how to stop 10-15% of my picture library being duplicate files! I will raise this directly with the apple support payment for the 1 TB icloud service to cover my very large library 'Photos', which should probably be just a large Photo library!

    A few other comments for those who have a double problem:

    -L' old iPhoto application used to "detect duplicates" when import but the new application 'Photos' does not. Anyone know about this?

    -J' saw the documentation from apple saying the icloud search duplicates in 'Photos' when in the icloud, but clearly not work or it does not work if duplicates exist also in the version of the imac to the library 'Photos '.

    -Beware of apps that claim to find 'photos' duplicate and are recommended on various Internet sites, a number of them don't work with the old iphotos app the new application 'Photos' (I discovered after you pay and download). If you need a remover of duplicates of photos that work with 'Photos' review and stay away from any application that do not specify clearly and explicitly he works with "photos" and has been seen since the release of the Photos app.

    + I paid $10 for "Gemini" dual Finder and has been a complete waste of time that didn't work only not with the "Photos" application (it wasn't not clear documentation or support, and when I trigger it supported by Macpaw that they said gemini does not support photos and told me to buy another app macpaw - I told them to go jump in a Lake).

    + I found very good Photosweeper that you can set to match exact or variable (for example photos of accidental burst which are 99.99% identical but 0,1s collapse) and then you can right click to view original file / image in the library to manually check duplicate (if you are paranoid like me) - there are many other paid apps that also make this store then around

    Photos detects duplicates when you import pictures and when you synchronize with ICPL

    Photos does not analyse the duplicates, but checks for them during import and download of IPCL

    There are a few duplicate programs that are tested as safe with Photos, including PowerPhotos, PhotoSweeper for the pictures and Duplicate Annihilator for Photos - do not use a tested and documented as safe\

    And I'm not clear what your post is about since you are asking how to find duplicates and then provide a good answer - photoSweeper - it is one of the safe and effective ways to remove duplicates for Photos

  • Download photos of ICloud

    Have a new 9.7 IPAD Pro"and tries to download all my photos from ICLOUD. There are about 9 000 images. Internet high speed is not a problem. The download process - I think - I hope - is still ongoing. How long will it last? Is there a way that I know are always downloaded in the background images?

    I see all my images on my IPAD but when I tried to open the pictures, some photos give me a white or a black screen. Can someone can advise? Thank you.

    One thing to check. Go to settings > iCloud > Photos and the State which is indicated below the iCloud, photo library, on/off switch.

  • How to download photos select icloud.

    I have Lr creative Cloud, iOS devices and I'm working on an iMac.  I want to be able to add photos to my iPhone that are also in my version of computer iMac (iCloud stream) photo in LightRoom and Aperture.

    I looked at the plugin options and I'm afraid that looks like it would incorporate my library of total opening images or Photos vs being able to choose some photos in iCloud.

    Thank you.

    I am aware that Lightroom is able to import and work with files of a cloud storage location. The files must be available on a disk internal, external or network drive.

    I guess you will have to use another application or you OS computer to download the files.

  • How to remove several photos library icloud?

    I use icloud photos with multiple devices, including an iPhone 4, iPad, Macbook pro and two PC.

    My icloud library is too large, with many duplicates (same photo taken several times) and many photos, I don't want to keep.

    Deleting photos in the library using the icloud library is a slow and tedious process.  I can remove only one at a time, each time takes 20 seconds or more, even with Internet broadband.

    How can I select and delete several photos at once?

    Hello rhwolfson,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

    Looks like you want to be able to remove several photos icloud photo library at the same time.  I will do my best to help find a solution for you.

    To delete multiple photos, the easiest method is to sign in iCloud.com on one of the computers you listed.  Once logged in, click on the photos icon.  When you are in the view 'Moments', you should see "Select of Photos" at the top right of the browser window. Click on 'Select Photos'.  You should now be able to select multiple photos and then click on the "Remove" button that appears.  This should allow you to delete several photos at the same time.

    Have a great day!

  • Photo library iCloud ridiculous size

    See attachment. I told myself that I have run out of space in iCloud. I knew I had a huge photo library so I deleted almost all of the photos and videos. I then emptied the folder recently deleted so that they should not take any storage more. But my iCloud photo library size is always 3 GB! What the $# @(% is going on?) Is it because even deleted photos emptied are always stored in the library for some time? But I waited a week and he has not set itself. Also there is absolutely no way to recover the deleted photos empty anyway. This is not sensible. Basically there is no way to make room for iCloud by removing photos. Also I tried to disable the library, and it does not work. Apparently they still save on iCloud for 30 days.

    Contact Apple iCloud support.

  • Download photo library always on 'update'

    This morning I turned on ICPL download 7000 photos. The MacBook is on wifi, connected and not sleeping. Photos preferences says "updated" and has not yet moved to tell how many pictures have been uploaded. I realize that this process may take days, but is it normal for her to start "Refresh", first for a few hours?

    Yes - and it could take days - mine took ten days for 7000 points - keep the computer awake, WiFi and power and let it run without interruption - I had to take a break for 1 day of time to another in order to use the internet for other devices
