Drag the photos to iCloud by car and in the photo library

I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 on a MacBook Air to 2015 and a Mini Retina Display iPad running iOS 9.0.2.

I have a lot of pictures, registered in several different folders, that is currently in my iCloud drive. I want to reduce the amount of storage space, I use icloud drive. But I still want to be able to view these pictures on both my MacBook Air, as well as on my iPad Mini.

So I thought I would create a number of Albums in the photo library to match with the folder names that I use in iCloud Drive and drag the folders of photos in these Albums in the photo library.

But it does not seem possible to drag the iCloud library photos in the photo library? It doesn't make a difference if I try and do slip into the same window of Finder, or if I open two Finder Windows and try dragging from one to the other (I don't know what's the difference - if any - between dragging items in a Finder window and pulling them from a window of the Finder to the other?)

How can I do this?

Anyone who responds to this, thank you very much and I wish you a Merry Christmas.

You can open the Photos on your Mac app and drag them from iCloud drive in the Finder in the Photos app. The other method is to use the file import Photos app menu.

  • Moved from my library of Photos to iCloud by car and now the pictures will not open it...

    I thought being smart and transfer my library of Photos to iCloud by car so I can access all my devices, but now the pictures won't open it. I hold down the Option key when starting the Photos and told to open the library moved in my world of iCloud drive. He complains about the library in an incompatible format (or something similar). If I move just back off iCloud drive to any where in my regular Finder file system then pictures is perfectly fine opening of the library. What the heck! Anyone know what is happening or that seemingly obvious thing does not work why?

    Yes... I think the library should be 'local' to your Mac. It can live on a USB key and maybe even a network drive, but I do not expect any level of performance with her on the cloud. If you think you can avoid to keep your phone synchronized with iCloud and still have access to all of your library, it won't work.

    Apple don't tell you not to do it, but they said this without mentioning iCloud drive...

  • Transfer a portion of the photo library

    Hi all

    I am currently using a MacBook Pro 2013 Yosemite 10.10.5 running. I have 750 GB of internal storage, but it is almost full. Most of this storage is filled with photos and videos. I bought a 2 TB external hard drive and partitioned it, one for time machine and the other for storage. I have over 300 GB of photos and videos, some of them dating back to 2008. I don't want to send all those pictures in stock, everything up to the last year. (time machine has everything saved anyway) I tried to do this manually, section by section, but it became a right mess. The files were being duplicated in the external hard drive, sometimes up to 8 copies of the same photo. The order went all out of sync even when put in order of date, and some pictures have the same name. I found the instructions on how to move a whole library on an external hard drive, but then I got confused about this becomes your default library or something? I don't want to change the default location of the library, I want to just put a little library in stock, without making a mess. Anyway, I guess my question is the following:

    1. How can I move that part of my library of Photos on a hard drive external, at once, without losing the order and without the hard drive of my library by default?

    Also, I liked iPhoto. I didn't know it at the time, but now we have pictures, I love iPhoto. When he updated a year ago I just left, because I assumed that it had to be this way. Now that I try to spend it in stock I realize even once how the poor Photos, if...

    2 is it too late to return to iPhoto? If I do how I move all the newly imported (last year) photos in iPhoto as well?

    I wouldn't say my technical abilities on the Mac is that great at all so any help is appreciated.

    See you soon

    1. How can I move that part of my library of Photos on a hard drive external, at once, without losing the order and without the hard drive of my library by default?

    Drag your photo library on your external drive, and you'll have a copy. You can switch between libraries by pressing the options then you launch Photos. Allows you to select the library you want to open.

    . I don't want to send all those pictures in stock, everything up to the last year. (time machine has everything saved anyway)

    You know that Time Machine will remove the older items in the backup, if she needs to release new backups storage?  If you the elements removed from your computer, they do not stay on Time Machine forever. What is your Time Machine partition? It must have at least 2.5 times the size of the disk of your Mac system. This will ensure that backups do not get deleted so quickly.

    And Time Machine backup impossible a second partition on the same drive. It would be better to move the copy of your photo library to a separate data disc, not a partition of data on your Time Machine disk, so time Machine can include in the backup, and you'll always have a backup of the photos that you moved out of the internal drive.

    2 is it too late to return to iPhoto? If I do how I move all the newly imported (last year) photos in iPhoto as well?

    you will quickly become frustrated with iPhoto too. Apple is no longer supports. You can order is no longer iPhoto print products. So, it can break completely.

    To resume work with iPhoto, you must upgrade to iPhoto 9.6.1.

    You can only update iPhoto iPhoto 9.6.1, shows among your purchases on the App Store. Check the tab fourth appstore - purchases.  If you see iPhoto you can update by removing iPhoto in the Applications folder (do not empty the trash), then restart the App Store and click on "install". To install iPhoto 9.6.1.

    Tip to see Barney:

    Can't update iPhoto because it is not available in the App Store.

    To move your latest photos to iPhoto export them photos and import it into iPhoto.

  • Hello! If I icloud library disabled, will be always saved pictures? I know that your backup stores the photo library of all devices and because I'm not all devices to be synchronized I think I'm safe and won't lose my pictures/videos. Right?

    Hello! If I icloud library disabled, will be always saved pictures? I know that your backup stores the photo library of all devices and because I'm not all devices to be synchronized I think I'm safe and won't lose my pictures/videos. Can someone please clarify?

    If you want your photos backed up, you must import them into the photos on the computer application that synchronize you with. iCloud photo library is a repository for all the photos for a given iCloud ID. However, it is not required for the care of your photos. I do not use iCloud photo library - import my photos into the library of Photos on my Mac.

    A backup of your device iCloud will save your current film, but if you remove anything from this film, then it will not be available for retrieval at a later date, because backups replace the previous backup version. A backup is so not an archive safe for your photos or videos.

    Photo stream keeps the last 30 days or 1000 photos taken with your camera if you have Photo Stream on, but once again, it's a temporary storage that gets crushed. Photo stream is intended to provide a method of sharing photos between the signed devices on the same iCloud account, but is not intended as an archive.

    Import your pictures and videos on a computer means that all photos and videos are kept in a library on your computer and will be accessible. It is the only safe way to archive your photos:

  • Old photos have not been deleted, even if it's been more than 2 months and keep crashing the photo library in icloud.

    Earlier this year, I used the library to icloud to back up my photos. Everything worked well. After awhile, I deleted the photos and off synchronization from photo library. Today, I decided that I wanted to use again, so I turned it on. It seems to work fine but when I connect to my PC I have the chance to see the old photos have not been removed. They seem to be corrupt (there is an exclamation mark instead of a thumbnail) and I can not open them, instead the library hangs. It has been more than 2 months, I suppose that even if I forgot to delete some photos, they should be gone now. Is there a way to fix this?

    a few things

    1 - iCloud Photo is not a backup - it's a synchronization service - see FAQ-apples iCloud Photo library FAQ - Apple Support

    More precisely

    Do I need a backup?

    ICloud library stores all of your photos and original videos in iCloud, but we still recommend that track you return of copies of your library. You can upload your photos and videos to iCloud on your computer and store them in a separate library, transfer them to another computer with transfer of images or Photosor store them on a separate disk.

    2 - ICPL can be accessed through Safari - connect to iCloud.com can click on the picture and see what's there - look in the recently deleted album and see what's there

    3. we need to know the details - you have other devices using the same iCloud account?
