• 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.

• 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!

• How to synchronize the photo library with the photo existing on iMac and iCloud library?

  Recently, I did a troubleshooting with Advisor to Apple for my iMac with the last OS X that I had a problem connecting to iCloud. Then he asked me to turn off services iCloud, including photos of iCloud but leaves all the databases. So now the problem went but when I turned on the photos from iCloud, it started to download all the photos back to the iCloud (6300 + pictures) instead of synchronization as it should.

  Is it possible to recognize the photos with the iCloud desktop library? Thank you!

  It's sync - just let it go - once you disconnect, then reconnect it must check each picture in order to ensure that it is correctly synchronized - i.e. how she "reconizes" that the photos are a ther

• How can I delete my photos in the photo library of iCloud?

  I placed my entire photo library - some 40 GB in iCloud photo library.  Everything seems to work quite well.  I keep the originals on my Mac.  I noticed that the optimized on my iPhone and iPad versions are beginning to produce a tightening of the memory on the last two.  I want to do is delete my iCloud photo library and start over with a subset of my main library - just five years with a value of photos that are about 10 GB.  How to achieve this?

  Make sure any time original photos are on your mac and iCloud library off on all devices - will delete all the photos in iCLoud in 30 days - then set the library smaller that the library system and turn on ICPL and the new smaller library will be transferred to ICPL

• How can I fix my iCloud photo library and iCloud drive?

  I noticed that all of my devices are stuck insofar as transfer or upload photos. Then, I went iCloud.com and get an error if I try to open the Photos or iCloud drive web app. I thought that others need to be affected, but my partner has no problem using iCloud.com for photos and player itself. So there's something really wrong with mine and I have no idea how to solve this problem in addition to call Apple.

  Does anyone have experience with this?

  How many devices is stuck in download, the number of photos were downloaded and how much remains to be downloaded and how long was like that.

• My iCloud storage said I have only 1.3 GB of available, but my backups phone says only that it uses 1.6 GB and my photo library using 1.2 GB and my mail read 176 MB iCloud. Why my available storage is a little more than 2 GB?

  

  Hi FunkyPanda007,

  I understand that you are concerned about your use of storage iCloud. I know it's important to make the most of the space available, so I'm happy to provide advice to help.

  It is important to note that some applications can use iCloud for synchronization of the data on your device as well. This is not reflected in the screen, you are on, which may explain the differences you see. You can see more info on your iCloud here storage utilization:

• How to clean Install - photo library

  Hello.

  My software installation appears to be the culprit in some things that happens with my Mac. A clean installation seems to be asked - but I am concerned about the Photos.

  On a lightning drive, I dragged the package more (minus 40 GB). But it took a lot of time copying - less than an hour.

  I synchronize with iCloud photo library of Photos on my Mac. I run also two Time Machine disks.

  What I do not know if it would be better to put my data on the own Mac newly installed among readers and place then a version of my pictures of my drive on the newly installed software or activate an empty library and download icloud on Photos.

  Which would give me the less convoluted version of my library of Photos to reintroduce? I won't be able to use Time Machine as a RESTORATION because I don't want to reintroduce the other problems.

  Nothing is more important to me than these photos and videos of my son's life.

  What is the safest and most secure solution?

  Thank you all for the continued support.

• Archives photo library of iCloud?

  When I take pictures on my iPhone, my ideal process would be:

  (1) pix from the phone go to iCloud

  (2) pix to iCloud downloaded the photos on my Mac

  3) once on my Mac, pix never get deleted photos except if I explicitly

  In other words, the CMA should be archiving, and I should be able to remove the pictures from the phone and iCloud without deleting the Mac.

  In practice, #1 and #2 work fine. Problem is that if I delete a photo on the phone, it disappears from my Mac as well.

  I can't find a way to keep these photos on my Mac, short export files of Photos. Surely, there must be a better way?

  Note that I don't have the parameter 'Download the originals of this Mac' is enabled in settings iCloud in Photos. This does not seem to prevent the deleted, however the pictures.

  I use OS X 10.11.6 and iOS 9.3.5.

  In practice, #1 and #2 work fine. Problem is that if I delete a photo on the phone, it disappears from my Mac as well.

  That's because iCloud photo library is designed for synchronization, not as an external storage, as your probably know. New photos imported from any device download to iCloud photo library as the centralized storage. Modifications and changes to the photos of any device will synchronize to iCloud and updated on all devices, including the removal of the pictures. iCloud Library maintains library on all identical devices.

  I can't find a way to keep these photos on my Mac, short export files of Photos. Surely, there must be a better way?

  For your desired workflow, Thomas, I recommend to create a second photo library on your Mac, your Photos of Archive library, which is not synchronized with iCloud.

  Let the synchronization of photos from iPhone to your iCloud photo library and upload to the library on your Mac that is synchronized with iCloud. Then transfer them to your library Archive by export and re-import.  Or invest in pictures of power for easy transfer photos between libraries of Photos.

  The alternative, which recommends Apple, is to abstain from remove photos from iOS devices and use the "Optimize storage" option on the iPhone.  Keep your comprehensive library on the iPhone optimized version.

  I have used this approach for a few months. My iPhone and iPad have 64 GB of storage, and that worked somehow, but is a pain, because we cannot control which photos will get 'optimized '. It's a pain, if I want to create a slide show and pictures are underway in iCloud only Internet available.

  I switched back to my photo stream to download new photos from my iPhone and disabled iCloud photo library on my iOS devices, I'm only using iCloud photo library to keep Macs in sync.

• move the external drive photo library to iCloud

  Hello

  I just bought the option 1 TB, for my 300 GB library. With my MBP, I use an external hard drive, but I won't use it... So I sent the 300 GB, but if I start the Photo, there's still the library on disk external HARD... is not possible to use iCloud as the main library?

  Thank you very much.

  Fred of France

  iCloud library is essentially a synchronization services to keep your library in iCloud as centralized storage and reference to synchronize all volumes.  If you change a photo to one of your libraries on one of your devices, the changes will be updated in iCloud and synchronize all of your devices that are synchronizing with iCloud photo library. All libraries on all synchronized devices will always display the same pictures, montages, albums, metadata.

  So you will need a library t sync with your Mac.  To save storage, you can use the "Optimize Mac storage" option in the preferences to iCloud. Then the image original high-resolution fies will be stored only in icloud and your Mac will replace them with smaller and optimized, versions if the storage is not enough for the version high resolution.
