I can't see albums in iCloud photo library
I just moved my library of Photos from Mac to use iCloud photo library. All my photos (over 26,000) transferred successfully from my iMac library and I can see them on my iPhone and iPad. However, none of my smart Albums appear at all. The only albums in the iOS app are "All Photos", ' Selfies', 'Videos', recently deleted ' and a folder called "iPhoto", containing a small number of old imported albums in iPhoto. These albums are working but they are created by the system in a matter of a y. I created dozens of smart Albums on my Mac, some in subfolders in 'Albums' and some 'Albums' root, but none of them shows at all. The subfolders containing the albums appear but when I open them, I see is "empty folder: this folder contains no albums'." Does anyone know how to fix this?
Do not download the smart albums to iCloud photo library

Can I create subfolders in iCloud photo library?
I know there was a discussion on the subfolders in pictures before, but the suggested fixes don't seem to work if trying to create subfolders in iCloud photo library. Does anyone know how to do the trick in Cloud Photo library?
Thank you very much in advance

As far as I know records show only on Mac - not on iCloud.com or other IOS devices

iCloud-photo library: only use it as backup?
I finally got serious about my photo library to backup to the cloud. Because I have Apple products, it seems that iCloud photo library would make the most sense. And with the recent drop in prices, it is now affordable.
But here's what I can't determine after reading articles: I don't really have interest in what my library that is available to me through devices. My interest in iCloud is simply as a back-up for my photos, in case my house burns down. Can I then turn on iCloud photo library for Photos on my Mac, but leave it for my iPhone and iPad? My concern is that even an optimized thumbnail for almost 15 years of images would take too much memory on my mobile. I'd rather keep manually import the photos that I take on my iPhone for pictures with sync and let the pics to save them from there.
Who is?
And the video also back - up iCloud photo library, right?
Yes, you can turn on or off on a per-device basis, and Yes, it synchronizes videos.

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.

Can't see all of my photos in iCloud on iPhone
I no longer see about half of my pictures on my iPhone iCloud 6, although they are still visible in the iCloud himself.
All of my photos in iCloud disappeared from my phone last week when I disconnected icloud photo library to try to restart the download process, as my photos had been stuck on my phone and not entered in the iCloud for a few months. However, and without doing anything to remedy this situation the past few days, about 1400 photos were put back on my phone last night, of the iCloud - all the photos I have taken with my current phone.
Therefore, is there a way in which I can 'bring back' the remaining photos (i.e. those that I had taken on previous iPhones, are in the iCloud, and who were previously on this iPhone)? Before the breakthrough last night, I had previously tried the usual solutions (i.e. of library iCloud switching between power; plug my phone wifi connected) but had no joy. I also talked a great length with appple support on this issue. The iphone is the only device I have.
Be grateful for any ideas

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 on macOS Sierra: Album of peoples does not synchronize with iCloud photo library
Using Photos has just been updated for Sierra, and we finally have it in writing:
https://help.Apple.com/photos/Mac/1.2/?lang=en#/phtf5e48489c
Note: Persons identified in the album people are not synchronized between devices.
And as far as I know, it really does not synchronize between my libraries of Photos on the MacBook Pro and my iMac.
It's different in the 10 user guide iOS for the iPhone and iPad:
http://help.Apple.com/iPhone/10/#/iph9c7ee918c
People are synchronized between devices where you are connected with the same Apple ID.
I wonder how this is supposed to work, if a Mac and iPhone are synchronized with iCloud User Library.
None of the faces that I named on my iPhone did sync it with my Mac.
Another indication that the lack of synchronization of the people and names is deliberate:
This document has now also been updated:
Use iCloud photo library on several Mac - Apple Support computers and Photos
https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT204486
After have connected you, these items appear in the Photos app on all your Mac computers:
- All photos and original videos
- All folders and albums
- Smart albums
- Keywords
- Memories
- Key photo selections
He used to say, tags searchable faces will perform synchronization between devices, but the tags are more is mentioned. Now we have the 'memories' instead.

photos in Albums in iCloud disordered library of date taken
Hello
The pictures in my photo albums on my Mac all appear in order of date taken.
They are not in iCloud library iCloud.com on the web.
They seem to be in order added to the album and another weird way, like a photo of 2009 next to 2015 - and the date of the photos is well reflected in iCloud.com - they are not sorted in the order as they are on my Mac. Would not be synchronization then - although all the elements are there.
Simply not mirrored in the order of date taken as they are on my Mac.
I noticed this time before and an update to iCloud took care of it - now photos in albums seems to be down again.
I have no timing devices - that my Mac to iCloud.
All the world and thank you in advance (I posted earlier but my question was not clear and I couldn't change it. Hope this makes sense).
Happy Friday,

I tried to add photos to an album in iCloud photo sharing. Add very well, but older latest pictures will not. Help please!
Try the settings/iCloud and remove the synchronization. Wait a few minutes and then resynchronize.
Try to go into System Preferences/iCloud and stop synchronization. Wait a few minutes, then recheck the timing.
Have you tried the signature to iCloud and then reconnect?

How can I redo the process of uploading photos to iCloud photo library for iPhone?
I had a lot of trouble to download the originals to iCloud photo library to my phone. It works fine on my Mac. So, I'll just do the download process again. Should I disable iCloud photo library on iPhone, remove all the photos from my camera and then turn it back on so it redownloads all icloud photo library to iPhone? I don't want to accidentally delete photos of iCloud library because it's my backup location. I also have original on Mac as well. Thank you very much for the help.
Turn off iCloud photo library is perhaps the way to go. But first please tell us a little more on the problems that you encounter.
