  • How to download pictures from iCloud, but not upload to iMac

    Hi all

    I have an iMac, my wife and I have iPhones and our daughter has an iPodTouch.

    Currently, we are all transfer our photos of our individual iCloud account.

    I want to download pictures of each on my iMac iCloud account, but then not upload to each other iCloud.

    Is this possible?  I managed to stop the iMac Photos to upload on iCloud, but I don't see how to set up the iMac to download from each people iCloud account.

    Thank you for reading

    Currently, we are all transfer our photos of our individual iCloud account.

    What iCloud service do you use for this?  iCloud photo library?  iCloud drive?  My photo stream?

    on Photos for Mac synchronization with iCloud goes two ways. If you enable iCloud Photo library or my photo stream on your Mac, download photos from your Mac to iCloud photo library and upload new photos to my stream of photos and other devices that use this service.

    If you want to only download to your Mac, use the web interface to access iCloud photo library from the Web browser and do not allow any iCloud photo library on your Mac.

    Open the web Page www.icloud.com and sign one of your iCloud Apple ID.  Then launch the Photos.app on this web page.  Now open the album pictures and click "Select". Select all the pictures, and then click Download.

    To select all photos click on the first picture of the beach, hold down the shift button, scroll to the last picture and select it.

  • can I switch from icloud photo library app photos without losing the photos

    I have my settings so that all my photos have been removed from iTunes and are now accessible via the iCloud library, but I don't like the way they are stored in all THE PICTURES rather than in their respective albums that I spent hours and hours of sorting.

    If I drag iCloud photo Library, everything returns to how it was (basically, my photos will appear on my iPad in their albums?)

    The images are not stored in iTunes, so I don't know what you removed and hence. Your photos and your videos are stored and organized in the Photos app, on your computer and on your iDevices. iCloud library is how they are synchronized between all of your devices. This includes your albums. If you don't see any albums on your iPad, maybe not looking in the right place? One caveat is that you have nested folders.

    You can disable iCPL on your iPad and then return to using iTunes to sync photos, but like I said, you should see your albums with iCPL.

  • photos from iCloud photo library

    About 400/1100 photos have suddenly disappeared from my iCloud photo library. When you check the recently deleted my photos that I had deleted intentionally were still there, but the missing photos were not there.

  • Questions from icloud photo library

    OK, Hello everyone. I feel bit uncomfortable with my problem and I would be very grateful if someone notice and has the answer.

    First, earlier today I transferred all my photos on icloud just in case something happens.

    but now, I need not my phone to be connected to icloud, I want everything as it is.

    for example, im no longer able to change texture them for a reason any. "Try again later" is all that said.

    I had already earlier on icloud photos that made all my photos in an album, which is nice.

    Shortly said, I don't want to have my iphone connected to icloud photos. I recognized three ways to do this:

    remove account, sign out, icloud off photos, but it is said that this will be so delete all the contents of the iphone which is located in icloud.

    so, is it possible? I could always up-to-date library on itunes (I have something automatic flow out currently?) or do I just something like

    Dropbox?

    Here is a little information:

    iPhone 4 s - iOS 8

    Windows laptop with icloud installed

    Thanks for reading and sorry for not this good grammar (I am foreign)

    The help is very appreciated!

    Good day.

    but now, I need not my phone to be connected to icloud, I want everything as it is.

    If you don't want your iPhone to be connected to iCloud, you can simply disable your iCloud on the phone settings.  See what - iCloud: change the settings of the iCloud features

    Shortly said, I don't want to have my iphone connected to icloud photos.

    If you don't want your photos in iCloud, you can remove them, but before that, I would recommend using an external storage device to transfer them to the or by using a third party application like Dropbox (as you mentioned), Flickr, or my personal Photos of Google favorites.

    To remove your photos after you have them, follow the instructions provided here - iCloud: remove photos from my photo stream

  • icloud photo library synchronization

    Hello

    I recently decided to synchronize all my photos via iCloud photo library.

    I wanted to keep the originals on my iMac but synch to my phone and iPad.

    Now I am a happy person to wink a little and had pictures going back 10-15 years, in fact there is more 18,000 of them. I don't go back more later delete a few, but want to keep what I had for a while.

    I initially just kept a copy on my iMac and then synchronized to my iPad via iTunes. I have in the albums which was pretty good.

    This process has been synching for about a week, but nothing has changed for at least a day and there are still about 600 photos to sync. I checked the albums and many photos on them are a bit blurry but they are the only record of my travels have and want to keep them.

    Can you tell me what I need to do. Or using I have come back to what I had before and synchronization with iTunes and iPhoto photo streams.

    May we make a suggestion?

    Concerning

    Chris

    This process has been synching for about a week, but nothing has changed for at least a day and there are still about 600 photos to sync.

    It is not unusual for a library of this size to take so long to download or even longer without any visible progress.

    Where it is suspended?  Is the upload to iCloud photo library of your suspended Mac, or synchronization with the iPhone and the iPad?

    Is your Mac, showing a progress bar in the Photos > Preferences > iCloud? Or is passed to the progress bar?

    You can check with a smart album, if your photo library containing pictures or videos, which can not download.

    Use ' file > new smart album ' and these settings:

    How much storage space you have on your iPhone / iPad? with your great library of Photos, you need to enable "storage management" on mobile devices. So not all willl be stored locally and they will look blurry, until what download you from iCloud photo library.

  • How can I subscribe to the photo albums of any other iCloud photo library?

    Greetings,

    I would like for the members of the family to be able to see the photos that I download on my iCloud photo library. Is it possible, if their phones are not on my account? In other words, is there a way for them to subscribe to these libraries of photos, so that when I download on iCloud, they automatically have these photos synced on their phone?

    Thank you

    John

    You need to set up the sharing of the family: family shares - Apple Support. You can then each have exhib photo albums and also have a shared family album.

  • Send photos to iCloud photo library - referenced files

    I am trying to transfer photos to ICloud library and get the message error "775 files referenced in your library don't download not to ICloud photo library" when doing the research on this site I found how to make a smart file of the "referenced files" and selected "consolidate."  When I do that, it says "Allow photo to access your media" and tells me to choose a folder "sub" and where to find.   When I find the folder and select it I get the message "Cannot find the original file IMG_4515.JPG" when I go out and look for this Image and as always is a duplicate I then go back and go through the process again only so he could tell me another photo it does not remove it.  I get the sense he'll browse all 775 files in this way?  Help?  What should I do to get rid of these referenced files?  and if I find them in the photo and delete them is that going to help?  When I search the photo in the finder can't find something?  I am, once again, at a loss?  It seems that my system continues to download on iCloud, as the number of downloads is moving?

    and get the message error "775 files referenced in your library don't download not to ICloud library"

    It is not an error message, this is just a warning.  You can ignore other photos upload nevertheless.

    What should I do to get rid of these referenced files?  and if I find them in the photo and delete them is that going to help?

    If you are sure, that all of the referenced photos are duplicates, delete the photos in your smart album "referenced". I would create a copy of your photo library on a backup drive, before you do. In this way, you will be able to come back later, if you notice any missing files.

  • 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.

  • Why can not download pictures on Photoshop Mix from my photo library (iPhone 6s), even if I have authorized by the app?

    Why can not download pictures on Photoshop Mix from my photo library (iPhone 6s), even if I have authorized by the app?

    Hi burgosfx!

    In my view, the issue here is possible that your images are saved in the cloud (iCloud or another Cloud Computing service) and Mix has a hard time to capture these images. Please make sure that your images are saved locally on your device. Let me know if that helps!

  • 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.

    Help, please?

    How do you access download?

    try this select them in PHotos and export to a folder on the desktop - check the with preview to be sure they are correct and then download the desktop folder

  • iCloud Photo Library Download stuck after changing icloud account

    This is FYI if someone of another encounter the same problem, I've had.

    My daughter Mac and iphone used a common icloud account that has been set up for the family some time ago.   She had a lot of photos stored in icloud, through Photos.  We decided to create account it with his own icloud and itunes recently.

    The first question icloud was in its disconnection from the old account.  The message that you will lose pictures and videos that are not fully downloaded to the Mac we fear for a few days because there is no easy way that we could find to determine in advance what photos and videos were not fully downloaded.  So, we tried for these days download all photos and videos but did not seem to make any progress.  After a few days, we have bet that we could continue with disconnection and risk losing the photos and videos they would be still in icloud under the old account.  Then we saw on the screen depending on who told us that we will lose only 3 photos and 1 video - too bad that the screen has not come earlier.  So we disconnected.

    The second question icloud came after connected to the new icloud account and tried to get his Mac photos to sync up to pictures of icloud.  We spent 2 or 3 days waiting for them to update and 2 separate calls with Apple support but no resolution.  There were two additional things, I noticed: 1) the iCloud library update bar (under preferences/Photos/account) remained empty (i.e., no green progress bar) for 2 or 3 days indicating no progress has been made and 2) next to the heading 'ICloud photo library' was the message in red that I had 29 (then 28 then 27) days to download my photos to icloud prior to their removal.  It made me suspicious that it was a reference to the photos under the old account and I was connected to the new account.  So, today, I bet and disconnected the new icloud account and once again had the same 3 photos and 1 video message would be deleted, that I accepted.  Then I signed in to the new account icloud, got informed that I had too little space on the new account to all the pictures and videos to download, I opted for more space (paying), end connection, then pictures/properties/account and viola, iCloud library update bar now give me 1) a number of pictures to download and green 2) in the progress bar.

    So, to summarize:

    1. If you're worried about losing your photos (or other files) If you disconnect your icloud account, note 1) you should be able to recover if you reconnect to the account and 2) that there is a window that will tell you how much you will lose (even if have never heard you those who), and
    2. If the synchronization ends up with no apparent progress made (especially no count of how many must be synchronized or no visible 'green' progress) then a possible solution is to disconnect, and then reconnect to your icloud account.

    Don't forget to let Apple know it so that they can improve their service to the future- http://www.apple.com/feedback/

    It seems you want to use iCloud photo library as an archive of photos. It was not intended for this use.

    iCloud Photo library FAQ - Apple Support

    It is designed to allow you to have full access to your library without having to choose which photos and videos you store on which devices because it connects to your library using iCloud to all your devices, you registered this service. You can choose the option to Optimize Storage iPhone, which will automatically replace your photos in full resolution with optimized for your phone free storage.  Such use allows to my 64 GB iPhone store more 18 000 photos and 877 videos with fast access on my iPhone and elsewhere, while occupying only 4.8 GB on my physical device. The library full resolution resumes of more than 112 GB of storage which I can access in iCloud.com, on my computer, or by requesting the download of contents of high resolution on my iPhone with that I will make.

    Otherwise, if this does not work for you, you can use other services, such as Dropbox, archive your library, so you can completely remove the photos from your iPhone. If you deleted pictures from your iPhone now, they would delete the iCloud photo library so that he be kept in sync as your Contacts or Notes.

  • Disabled by mistake to iCloud photo library and he turned his back.  Still says it will remove pictures

    I disabled the iCloud photo library photos & soft adjustment camera, as well as any type of sharing.  I need try to free 13 GB of space which has been monopolized by ghost photos that were not on any device or even show in icloud.com.  Restarted the phone, the data was retrieved, and I re-enabled all elements in parameters, including iCloud photo library of photo sharing.  iCloud library, Optimize iPhone/iPad, storage, Upload to my photo stream, download Photos of Burst, iCloud, sharing photos, pictures to summarize all lit up.

    The question I have is that I see the message:

    "iCloud photo library will be removed from iCloud in 28 days.  Choose to download and keep the originals below to download a full copy of your photos and videos. »

    That's fine, I have all my saved photos.  What I find that I am able to do is add any (as via iCloud.com Photos), as the 'Upload' button is grayed out and the same message appears on the header of the photos app page.

    I want to reset it.  I thought that turn everything would have been fine.  But it seems to be stuck.  I activated on all devices.  It's frustrating because it is preventing me from getting things done on the fly, I'm used to because I can't upload pictures in the Photos app.
