I have lost my original photos from my local drive if I optimized my iCloud library?
I moved my photo (900 GB) library on an external drive. The value in pictures new external player as the new library system library. Now when I turn on iCloud it tells me I have to optimize my photos. I'm afraid of losing my originals from my local drive. Optimization of my library will erase my originals from my local computer? I have to delete my old library in iCloud that has already gone through the pain staking the download process (759GB) in order to reuse my iCloud? I try to avoid to keep my computer another 3 months. Simply cross ICloud cannot check the new library with my iCloud library and move on. How can I start again using my iCloud? Please give me some advice or assistance. Thank you
The value in pictures new external player as the new library system library. Now when I turn on iCloud it tells me I have to optimize my photos.
What is your external drive only has 1 TB of storage? You have found the warning because the 900 GB in iCloud and the size of your current library on the external hard drive will not fit on the disc. If you have a disc, use a drive twice the size of your library of Photos, so you will not miss storage in the years to come. Any drive that you use with pictures must have Mac OS Extended (Journaled) file system.
iCloud library does not know, the pictures are identical. It will download all the photos in the library moved to iCloud and check if they are duplicates. And it only allows you to introduce you, if you use 'Optimize', if the combined size of the photos in iCloud and on your Mac is larger than the available storage.
And Yes, the "optimize" option can cause some originals will be deleted. It is completely dynamic. You can turn this option off again directly after that you turned the library on the external drive as your iCloud photo library for re-download all original, and before Photos was able to start optimization. Do it only if you are sure, the library will fit.
If you do not all projects in your photo library and did not use the function "Faces" and has invested a lot of work by naming the faces, you could simply start with an empty library on your external drive and let the photos to download icloud to the empty library. It will be faster to download again and the merger of the library moved in your library to iCloud. The only downside, the tags of faces will be missing and your books and other projects. If you need to keep a backup copy of the library has moved.

I have problems to import photos from the Canon EOS 70 d in Lightroom on a macbook pro
When I try to import photos from my Canon EOS70D in Lightroom, first I get "Preview not available for this file" for all files on the camera. If I check a few photos to import Lightroom said then that's important but the pictures never import and eventually I have to cancel the import. I tried to import a picture and this same thing is happening.
I don't think that is the cable or the camera that I can import into iPhoto from the camera using the same cable.
All advice appreciated.
It's ok thank you, I found the problem. I have to let the camera connected to the laptop for a while. Finally, all files have thumbnails, and then I can import them. I tried before import them too quickly.

Photos app: Import Photos from the hard drive
Hello
I have a number too many photos on my hard disk, divided into several folders (albums).When I try the import option, from the Photos App it shows me all the photos (3000) on my hard drive and I have to choose each picture to import.It is a simple and hassle-free way to achieve by choosing just one folder to import?Any help much appreciated.raghavendralr, once you have your photos on your computer Windows 8 files, you will need to include the folder where you have your photos in the photo library so that the Photos app to see. Then you should be able to use the Photos app to browse your photos.
To add a folder to your photo library, right click on the folder in the desktop browser, select "Include in the library" - "Images". More details: in Office Explorer (to open it, press Win - E), expand the node for the computer in the left pane and continue to expand folders until you see the folder that contains your photos. In the left pane, right click on the folder icon and select from the contextual pop-up menu "Include in the library" - "Images".
Return of the Photos app, click the thumbnail of the picture library on the home page, you should see the contents of your folder newly added shortly.
Alternatively you can copy/move your files in your existing images folder which is by default already in your photo library. In the left pane of the Explorer desktop, expand libraries - images to see what files are in your photo library already.
Hope that helps.

can I remove photos from the device, but keep them in the icloud
I want to know if I can store photos, etc. on the iCloud and remove them from my phone that I moved to a phone with less storage?
When you delete them from the device, they will be deleted to iCloud. To increase the available space, go to settings/iCloud/Photos and select optimize iPhone/iPad Storage.That will reduce the space required by 90% when it is fully effective.

I have a MacBook Pro that is primarily used for PHOTOS and use 2 external drives 1 for holding my PHOTO library and one for the back up. I have about 1 TB of data of photos. My back ups have worked perfectly since the establishment more than 12 months ago. However, I just got a CODE of ERROR - 36 problem which prevents the backup after that about 700 GB of data has been processed. I need to find a solution and I was wondering if anyone can advise me on that. I saw something called "dot_clean" on the web and I was wondering if it is safe to consider option.
If the Photos or iPhoto is running, exit it and try the backup again.

I have a home wireless modem, and before that, it was working fine.
Rufnek salvation,
Thanks for posting. First, check your computer and see if there is a switch wireless on this subject. Many times there is a switch on the PC to activate the wireless market. If your PC lacks such a change go to the website of OEM and reinstalling the latest drivers for your PC wireless.
