• How to use the library of small Photos on the MacBook Air

  I'm running out of space on my MacBook Air, and I prefer to store all my original photo in iCloud. How to keep the photo library on my Mac to the size of the strict minimum. Thank you.

  Are you already using iCloud photo library or you want to turn your photo into a photo library of iCloud library?

  To save storage on your Mac, select iCloud in the pictures library > Preferences > iCloud. also turn on "Optimize Mac Storage" in this Panel.

  Photos will replace originals in your library of optimized versions. But this process is dynamic. If you are short on storage, it will replace original more optimized versions. So, it will take some time, until your photo library becomes smaller. You cannot influence this process.

  A way to shrink the photo library immediately, is radical enough: wait until the first download of your photos is complete and all the pictures are on iCloud.  Make a current backup of your photo library by copying to an external drive.

  Then delete the photo library on your internal drive. Launch photos while holding down the key options and create a new empty library. This library in your system photo library and activate iCloud photo library with optimization of the storage.

  Now, all your photos will download as optimized versions and the library will be much smaller from the start.  However, it has some drawbacks.  Thumbnails of faces will be lost, also all of your projects. It will be like using your iCloud library another computer: use Photos and photo library on several Macs - Apple Support iCloud

• 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.

• If my phone is backed up via icloud, can I delete my photos from my phone to free up storage capacity?

  If my phone is backed up via icloud, can I delete my photos from my phone to free up storage capacity?

  When you back up your phone does not affect what is happening in the pictures. Backups are made to keep a snapshot of your device available in case you need to restore this backup device.

  Use iCloud photo library? Is that what you mean? If you are, what you remove from the appliance will remove your library of Photos that are stored in iCloud.

  If you don't use icloud photo library, you need to import your photos on your computer before remove you any of them (after checked the import was successful): PHOTO IOS of IMPORT FOR MAC/PC

• photos on iCloud library not to display on the iPhone

  Hello

  First of all, I am running: MacOS Sierra & iOS 10.

  I'm Tournai on iCloud photo library on my mac and synchronized about 6000 pictures (which was AAAGGGEEESSS) to the cloud.

  I then turned on the iCloud photo library on my iPhone 6 s, and once again, downloaded more than 1500 pictures.

  Now, in the Photos app on my mac, I can see all the photos (including my phone) and when I login to iCloud via a web browser, I can also see all 7000 +. However, on the application of photos on my iPhone, only photos taken on the phone are displayed - rather than those of my mac.

  Am I missing something? As I understand it, all my photos must be posted on the phone (even if "Optimized storage" is enabled).

  Try the head tilt iCloud library switch to see if it could kickstart on the iPhone.

  ITunes game uses no storage iCloud. He needs analyzing your music on your computer in order to determine what can be mapped and must be downloaded. Once the music in the cloud, you need to turn on icloud music library on your iOS devices.

• If I remove iCloud library in my iPhone (but not on my Mac) I lost photos?

  I have iCloud library enabled on my iPhone and Mac.

  Everything works perfectly, great synchronization, all photos back available for me to see 10 years.

  Now I have run out of space on my iPhone, and my photos (despite the optimization of storage on iCloud photo library) are the main reason for this.

  If I disable iCloud photo library on my iPhone, but keep it on my Mac, what will happen?

  Do I lose all the photos?

  Once I did, if I delete the pictures of my phone are they so just deleted from my phone, but not my iCloud?

  Appreciate the help, thanks

  If you disable iCloud photo library on your iPhone, you will see more pictures on this device. iCloud photo library on your Mac will still have pictures. You should not lose all the photos from your Mac, but make a copy of your library beforehand should put your mind at rest until you can verify that he has lost. Delete the pictures taken on your iPhone will not affect your Mac or iCloud, but neither future pictures taken on your iPhone will go into iCloud photo library.

• How can I send my music to icloud and free up storage on my ipad that is full

  I own an ipad and iphone 6. the ipad is about 4 years old approx. full of downloaded and transferred other CDs and my storage capacity is busiest. How can I send my music to icloud and free up storage on my ipad. My iphone has not been synchronized with ipad. Cannot update my ipad for this reason software also.

  Thank you very much

  You can send music in the cloud of a device. You can delete music, and if it's purchased iTunes music you (if it is still in the store and you have not reached the country since purchasing it) may of it redownload purchased in the iTunes Store app tab. Because you own music (for example copied from CD) you'd need have subscribed to Match iTunes on your computer and downloaded the music to her computer, to show him in the cloud.

  You have all your music in your computer's iTunes library? Update of the iOS via a computer version should also require less free space on the device (but the update via a computer requires your content in the iTunes library, the update process will take up a back, wipe the iPad and install the iOS update and restore the backup, the backup contains things such as your documents photos, contacts, settings, etc, music, apps, etc. is picked up in the iTunes library)

• If I upload my photos to the iCloud library remain my original photos on my MacBook Pro?

  If I upload my photos to the iCloud library remain my original photos on my MacBook Pro?

  Yes, they do. See:iCloud photo library - Apple Support

  Note that if you open the Photos on your Mac and go to preferences and click on iCloud at the top of the preferences window, there are 2 options: 'Download the originals of this Mac' and 'Optimize Mac storage.' If you choose the option optimize and your Mac is low on storage space, then the originals can be replaced with smaller optimized versions.

• Unable to choose "iCloud library" after the restoration of Mac

  Hello everyone, this is my first time, ask a question here.

  I have a MacBook Pro with a library of 57 214 (317 GB) photos stored on an external hard drive. I recently downloaded all these photos to iCloud library (it took 5 days!) but just yesterday, I had to do a clean OS install. Since then, I tried to implement the pictures once again.

  My library on the hard drive is set as the system library, but when I select 'iCloud photo library' with the option ' download originals of this Mac ", it selects, then begins to download, it cancels the. If I try to select it again, the same thing happens.

  

  Two minutes later...

  

  Can someone tell what I can do? Should I remove the pictures from the cloud and try again?

  The problem may be that the free storage is not enough to download all original icloud in addition to the pictures already in your library.

  It might be easier to download the library of iCloud to an empty library instead of download the. library again.

  Do you have plans in your photo library, you need to save or invested a lot of work by naming the faces?

  Otherwise, move your existing photo library to an external drive as a backup copy, then remove the library of your internal drive.

  • Launch of Photos with the options key held down to bring up the library Chooser Panel.
  • Select this option to create a new library.
  • Make this new library your system photo library and activate iCloud.  Your photos and albums will begin to download. It will be faster than the download. Once again and the merger of the two libraries.

  But the download will not restore the named faces and not projects. IF you keep the original library to access your projects and have a reference for the faces that he will have to restore.
