Fast download of all pictures of iCloud on an external drive?

Hi all

This question was asked a few times, but no real progress seems to have been done in the past months, so I thought I would ask the question again, perhaps that someone has found a new 'thing '? :

Location:

-I would like to save all my (> 40 k pictures) photos currently in iCloud on an external drive.

-I don't have enough memory space on my Mac to Park gradually through 'Photos' (i.e. download all original to my mac-function)

-I want to directly choose a location (i.e., my external HARD drive) to store in.

What I tried:

-Via Safari and Chrome: connect to iCloud.com, select all images (via 'Shift' and select photo first + last) and direct downloads on the external drive.

Problem:

Since there are so many pictures, my Safari and my browsers Chrome "crashes" and do not complete the work (actually that they don't even start to download). If I select just say 5 pictures, it works in a jiffy.

Any ideas, I would be grateful?

Thank you

Do not use iCloud.com.

Set up a library on your external drive, make the system library and download the photos, once you've done that you can keep it this way, keep as a secondary library and change the library system to another library or simply export all the photos and remove the library.

  • Hi, I put all my files raw on an external drive and add directories to lr. Is this way of working with slower rawfiles?

    I know that, of course, that's a (usb2.0) connection slower than my c drive which is ssd, but what happens when I in develop mode? is the file copied into memory or lr works with the external drive permanently?

    As long as the catalogue LR, file Previews and the camera Raw Cache not located on your C: drive faster shouldn't you see a loss of performance module develop. The library module, you can build Standard previews when importing and updating when editing images. After modifying a group of images in the develop module, select all the and go to the menu library > previews > Build Standard - Sized Previews. If you need to return to a group of images to 1:1, select them and choose Build previews of 1:1. Keep in mind that the library module should be used to review and rating of groups of images because it uses the already rendered previews. The develop module makes the images in real time. What is significantly slower. Following these procedures of workflow you shouldn't have performance problems with the images on an external drive.

  • How to migrate pictures from iPhoto Library on external drive to the Photos?

    I deleted my computer today and try to import photos from a backup Time Machine, in Photos. I find the iPhoto library and clicked on "View the contents of the package" to reveal a bunch of files. I'm currently moving the entire iPhoto library on my desk, but it's more than 100 GB in size, so I was wondering if there is a more direct method? (All photos are stored in the folder 'Masters'? Could import from there?)

    Please if someone could help me with this I would be very happy! Sorry for the ambiguity in my formulation of the question and happy New Year! Thank you in advance.

    To migrate the iPhoto Library from a backup Time Machine pictures use Time Machine to restore the iPhoto library to a folder on your Mac. Then drag the library restored on the Photos icon in the Dock to open the iPhoto library. Photos will create a library of Photos transferred from the iPhoto library with all your changes, titles, captions, keywords, assigned albums. If you try to import the folder of masters you will only import the photos, but lose the structure of the library and all your work that you did in iPhoto.

  • Download the files from the folder on the external drive

    I have this script that opens the most recent file in a folder.

    However I have now moved to an external drive.

    I thought I would use this line

    last element of the value latestFile (sort (get the files in the folder "HotFolderA" of the "Dropbox folder" from the folder "CloudStorage" in the folder "Volumes" of the file ((path to the startup disk))) by creation date) as alias

    but that

    Result:

    error "' Finder has been an error: cannot get the file \"Volumes\ ' startup disk. " ' number-1728 of the folder "Volumes" of startup disk

    How can I do it keep this method?

    Matt

    tell application "Finder"
      set latestFile to last item of (sort (get files of folder "AA" of folder (path to desktop folder)) by creation date) as alias
    set fileName to latestFile's name
    
     open latestFile
    end tell
    

    You used the backslash \ (like Windows) instead of the slash /.

  • File picture Drobo (or any other external drive) transfer?

    I decided to take some of my old photo files in LR from previous years and put them on the Drobo... but always have the catalogue to access.  However, it seems that I do not receive the virtual copies to the Drobo with the rest of the file.

    Is there some step or technical, I'm missing?

    Thank you!

    Steve

    The virtual copies are just the metadata contained in the catalog. Move the files themselves, reinstall them in the LR catalog (right-click, update folder location) and everything will be fine.

  • Help transfer pictures to iCloud, please

    How do you try to transfer photos from the Mac to the iPad?

    If you use iCloud photo library (activated on both the iPad and Mac), your mac download complete photo library to iCloud. It is not selective.

    If you want to download only albums selected cloud, you can create a separate library of Photos on your Mac, containing only the pictures and videos you want to download to iCloud and synchronize with your iPad.  See this help page on the use of more than a library of Photos: https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.2/?lang=en#/pht6d60b524

    What is your photo library?  Will take a long time to download from a large library. My library with over 40,000 photos needed more than a week to download, and I have a fast internet. The download may also hang, if the library is greater that we can insert in iCloud. then iCloud hangs, until you buy more storage iCloud or delete photos to free storage.

    If the download seems to be stuck, Photos can be also charged to convert videos in the library for download. Can tae several hours without any visible progress. Or your library may contain corrupted pictures that cannot be treated.

  • How to see pictures of iCloud on iPad

    Hello

    Recently, I place my photos to sync from my PC windows to iCloud. They downloaded fine and can be seen on icloud.com.

    Now I would like to see on my MC979B/A iPad running iOS 9.3.5. In accordance with the instructions from Apple, I activated iCloud in the settings, signed, then turned on the Photos and turned on iCloud Photo Library download, My Photo Stream and iCloud, photo sharing in the submenu. According to the documentation of the iPad, I would then be able to see my photos of iCloud in the Photos app... but the only pictures in there are the ones I took on my iPad, not those of my iCloud library.

    Is it possible to do what I want - see photos of my iCloud on my iPad?

    Any help would be welcome. Thank you.

    Are you sure you used the same ID for your Windows PC/iCloud account Apple and iPad?

    How many photos do you expect? How long did you wait for photos to sync?

    When you check the settings > iCloud > Photos on the iPad, is there an activity just below the iCloud photo library button? This is where we saw the current load/download activity.

  • Solution of fast backup, photos of google or iCloud photo library?

    Hey there Apple community, im in a bit of a situation difficult and need a few thoughts. My iPhone more than 6 s is fully charged to 64 GB of photos and applications. My iMac is fully loaded with photos in iphoto, Yosemite. I have 10% left in my iMac HD. It won't let me save my iphone. I know I go through my iphoto library and organize and delete some photos and consolidate the events before migrating to the new application photos and then move it to icloud photo library, but I'm very limited on time in the next few months and won't be able to do. I wrestle on a quick temporary solution for backup, but don't want to spoil or lose my precious photos and other data.

    But this is what im thinking, tell me if this would mess things up.

    I would like to either temporarily back up all my photos on Google photos for now from my iphone, and then when I'm ready, I'm going to migrate my iphoto library all on my imac to the photo library to icloud and then transfer my photo library from google to the photo library icloud (but not sure. If it works Someone at - it experience with google pictures and Mac?).

    Or I simply activate the iCloud library of photos on my phone while it backs up my current pictures on my phone last year and then optimize my storage on my phone. Then a few months starting now to migrate my iphoto library 268 GB of Photos app on my iMac running Yosemite and then migrate the library of Photos in this same icloud photos library that I opened a few months back from my phone (I understand I will pay $10 per month for the size of the library). I feel like the latest one is the best option, but I'm not sure if I do it my icloud library won't sync and consolidate properly because I started with my current pictures on my phone and then brought in my library of photos together for the last 5 years at a later date. How do you think any community?

    Why not get an external drive and move the photo library of the computer to the outside. If successful, you can then remove the library on the computer, or just keep it as a backup.

    The article is for iPhoto, but the basics are the same.

  • Moving pictures of iCloud to rename device WD MyCould ' inches *.» * ?

    Hello everyone.  I hope someone can explain to me what is happening.

    I have a Mac Mini OS 10.11.4 run soft Photos with photos stored/synced on the iCloud.  My iCloud is full, but with an external device to 3 TB WD MyCloud that I could move the photos on.  In reading previous posts, I selected all the photos in the photo library and dropped in a new folder on the device to WD.  Any fine apparently copied, except that they have been renamed "thumb_orignal filename.  Makes me think these copied pictures are not the photos full resolution, I had in the iCloud.  Can someone confirm and I would like to know if there is a better way to unload the pictures of the iCloud for my WD drive?  I have not deleted my iCloud photos but as I wanted to be sure that they are exactly the same pictures.

    Thank you

    Just so we're on the same page that you want to store just the size original, unpublished, full image files from your library of Photos to your WD external HD, right?

    If that's what you want too do the following:

    1. go to the photo window and select all the photos in the library, i, e, command + a key shot.

    2 - use the file export Original ➙ unmodified for X, XXX points... option:

    3. in the window export, choose these settings:

    The XMP file is optional and will be useful if you are using a 3rd party application that can use this file when displaying photos.

    4 - Select the WD external hard drive as the destination and export.

    ATTENTION: This will give you copies of your original, unpublished files.  You will lose any organizing effort that you put in the library, i.e. the albums, projects, etc.  You will lose all the metadata that you have added to the file, for example, title, description, keywords, unless view you files to image-exporter with an application that can use the XMP file.

  • 9.3.1 iOS cannot add pictures to iCloud shared album

    Since the upgrade to iOS 9.3.1 I can't add pictures to iCloud shared albums.

    Tried cela two ways. By selecting the option of sharing photos of iCloud film images. If a new album name is defined, the album is created, but it remains empty. The second way is a shared album iCloud and try to insert a picture by tapping the +. Nothing happens.

    I also noticed that even recently taken photos are in charge of the iCloud seen (I have iCloud library active). Before this update only the old images were downloaded when read and recently added remained on the phone/ipad.

    What is happening on my iPhone 6 and Air 2 64 GB iPad each and there is lots of space available on the two so that he should not download recent photos in the photo library and remove phone immediately.

    Known problems?

    Anyone? It works well on the ipad, if you select a photo...
