• ICloud - do they play well together and external Photos library system?

  Due to limited hard disk space, I need to move from a library of Photos 500 GB on a hard drive 3 TB mounted outside.

  If I name an external library as the library of the system, iCloud will recognize it there and add photos recently uploaded to the cloud?

  I formatted externally as MacOS extended journaled. and added to my backup process Time Machine (destination - 3 TB Time Capsule from Apple.)

  My goals are threefold:

  1. create and maintain space of hard drive on my iMac

  2 have a redundant backup of photos/videos of Photos

  3. to have access to these photos and videos for editing/design work, when you travel with MacbookPro.

  Any suggestion for a workflow, different and better appreciated. As well as recommendations for when my library reached the iCloud 1 TB limit.

  Now, my iPhone was crushed and expected the swap - so I need to get the photos/videos on my iMac so that I can save and unload an another 110 GB of media before the Exchange. (And I must improve my OSx).

  Thanks for the answers/help ():

• iCloud Space Ghost photo library

  iCloud library stating "you have 10 photos and 0 videos stored in iCloud. Your photos and videos are using 3.4 GB. "What happens to my photo library of iCloud storage? I already remove most of the photos and my "recently deleted" have no more photo and video. Can I know how can use so much space with some pictures? What can I do to let the iCloud library space become normal?

  Hi Alicialee,

  I understand that you have a question about your available space in iCloud. Looks like you are using total 3.4 GB, and maybe not entirely because of the 10 photos that show only stored in iCloud. This is most likely due to other things too much space to iCloud, such as backups of iOS devices. Try to use the information in this article to help you solve your storage problems:

• ICloud deleting deletes photo library photos from iCloud, photo sharing

  I have iCloud photo library on my Mac and on my iPhone.  I created an album of photos and videos to spend several weeks going apartment hunting in my neighborhood.  I have friends who are also looking for apartments in my neighborhood and these photos and videos would be useful for them.  So I want to share all these content with them using iCloud, photo sharing.  However, I have this great set of photos/videos over on my Mac or my iPhone, because I have an apartment and my use for these photos.

  So I want to:

  1. create a shared album (let's call it 'Videos apartment').

  2. Add all my photos and videos of my apartment hunting that is currently in my library to iCloud.

  3 share only iCloud library with my friends (they can add, comment, do what they want)

  4 delete the original files from my library to iCloud I don't don't need or want these photos over on my personal devices.

  My question is: if I delete the photo in step 4, which will also remove the same pictures of the iCloud Shared Library?

  It would be useful to know if the iCloud share photos are copies separated from my photos of the library, or are the same.

  Sharing albums and Photo library iCloud iCloud different services and are stored independently from each other.

  When you create a shared album and share with your friends, you will see the shared album and photos in your photo library, but you can remove the originals from your photo library, as long as you do not remove the shared album photos. In the shared album photos can be slightly smaller than your original photos, because there is a limit of size of pixels for shared photos.

• How can I prevent the download of the iCloud for iPhone photo library

  I bought my wife a new iPhone 6s more 16 GB for Christmas. She likes to take pictures with his iPhone, and she has many grandchildren phoos. I thought that his photos could be uploaded to iCloud and shared with his Macbook Pro that has 1 TB of storage and remove iPhotos on the iPhone, freeing a storage capacity on the iPhone, but I think that as soon as I upload the photos in iCloud, they will be reinstated in the iPhone. I must admit, I am completely confused about the iCloud shares the concept, so I thought I would ask experts. Currently, she has so many photos on her phone that she cannot download new applications. Help, please.

  Apple makes fairly simple

• El Capitan 10.11.2 updated and inaccessible photo library

  I've seen questions similar to this one, but none quite match. Photos worked El Capitan. But after the update to El Capitan 10.11.2, I can't pictures to locate the library system, although it is still visible in my pictures folder. (I have several bookstores, how I manage with PowerPhotos). I use an iMac late 2009.

  When I opened the Photos, I get this message:

  

  Sometimes this message at the same time:

  

  I can't choose ', open ' because I can't do this active window or get the buttons to act; I have to select "Exit" in the window "unexpected error".

  I tried to press the Option key when opening the pictures; same result.

  Also, I've used my photo library system for my desktop and screen saver. After update, the office always displays photos of the library. In the system, under the screen saver preferences, the 'Source' menu does not include Photos. I tried to select "Choose a folder", then selecting different libraries of Photos, but it does not work. In desktop preferences, there is a similar lack of power to choose to use a library of Photos, but he continued to use the one I had chosen before the update.

  As I said, I still see libraries in [user name] / photos. This includes the system library I was using before the update (and which is apparently still used for office). They all have a normal appearance in Finder, including update, size, showing as a number of GB, etc.. In PowerPhotos, however, the library system shows as having zero points. Other libraries appear as normal in PowerPhotos, but PowerPhotos does not seem to have a function allowing you to switch which deals with pictures of libraries such as the library system. Trying to open a library other that the library system in Photos, either by PowerPhotos or from the Finder, generates the same error messages above. (The same with trying to open the library system from the Finder).

  I don't know what version of El Capitan I was running before the upgrade. I always installed updates to OS x I use as soon as the alert informs you that one was available.

  Start in Safe Mode, Mac OS x: Safe Mode bootand try from there.  If you succeed, reboot normally and try again.

  

• 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:

• Is iCloud photo library space use doubled if I use Photos and iPhoto apps?

  IPhotos and Photos apps right now: If an image appears at the same time it

  be transferred twice (with the help of double the amount of space) in iCloud storage space?

  IPhotos and Photos apps right now: If an image appears at the same time it

  be transferred twice (with the help of double the amount of space) in iCloud storage space?

  No, you can not use iCloud with iPhoto and Photos at the same time on the same computer.  Photo library only at a time can synchronize with iCloud (My Photo Stream, shared Albums, iCloud, library).  If you enable iCloud for a Photo library, it will be disabled for the previous library.

  Sine you use Yosemite - in the first versions of Yosemite was a problem, and it was possible to activate my photo stream in iPhoto and iCloud library in Photos at the same time. But my photo stream does not count against your iCloud free storage, that is used for library iCloud, there is no overlap in iCloud photo library.

• Photo library on iCloud and on my Mac?

  Now that I use iCloud for my Photo library, I can access of course from other devices, including another Mac. But not from the original Mac where I had the library on an external drive. Whenever I want to open Photo on the Mac, it will search the library on this external drive... so, what's the point of having the library on an iCloud? The reason why I wanted to iCloud had to move more freely and do not have to connect to each time the drive.

  Looking for answers on this topic, I can not find. Everyone out there can throw me a light? Thank you.

  iCloud library is mirrored on your Mac. So the behavior you see is expected.

• I've disabled iCloud photo library by accident and lost all my photos in iCloud. I can find them somewhere in return?

  Product: iCloud (library), iPhone on iOS 9.2.1 5s

  I turned off my iCloud by chance photo library and now all of my photos in iCloud went. Is it possible to find somewhere?

  Turn on again iCloud library unfortunately did not help.

  Is there someone who can help? Thanks in advance!

  Just turned off iCloud library should not delete your photos. However, if you went in to manage stock and selected disable and remove they would be deleted but they would stay at https://www.icloud.com/ for 30 days.

• Cannot repair the photo library. The best way to restore from iCloud library?

  The photo library of the system is damaged and cannot be repaired.

  It is said "Photos has attempted to repair the library"Pictures Library 2015 ", but can not open it." .

  
  

  I first met problems with this library a week before and at the time where I could repair and open the library successfully, but lacked a month value of photos.

  Given that it was successfully in the iCloud library, I left it to re - sync - but this process suspended several times before the end, and the photo library of the system now seems to be permanently damaged.

  I have no project of marked or impression of faces in the photo library of the system, then I would be happy just to restore from iCloud.

  My plan is to put in place a new - empty - library and then that designate the library of the system.

  If I understand this right, the new (empty) system Photo library will now resynchronize with iCloud and will copy all the contents of this library of back to my Mac.

  Is this correct? It is the most effective way to restore my library?

  And while I'm here - what is the best way to manage a very large library? I had my photo library become corrupted ten three or four times over the past years and have found it necessary to divide into single years to prevent this. I overlooked this piece of household by the end of 2015, and now it's happened again... Surely, there must be an easier way to manage libraries of images of several years?

  Is this correct? It is the most effective way to restore my library?

  Yes, if you don't have a useful upward on your Mac.

  How do you call a large library, I've never had a corrupt Library, I think that your problems are not the result of the size of the library, but rather something else. From my experience it is recommended to maintain a local upward, I use Time machine, but also have a second to the top using a third-party backup solution.

• the reactivation of iCloud photo library

  Had the following issue: my photos for mac app was stuck on downloading the last 22 pictures in my photo library to iCloud.

  I did some research and it was suggested "just deactivate and then reactivate" the library of iCloud.

  Well surprise after trying to turn it back on I got a dialog box telling me he does not have enough storage space, apparently he wants to download all the photos again?

  Question: Is there a way to force the photo app to use my iCloud already synced photo library.

  Because reuploading a library of 600 new GB would be powerful frustrating.

  Someone at - it an idea?

  Best regards, Jelger

  Update: I managed to start the synchronization again by activating via the parameters of iCloud iCloud photo library.
  It gives me a warning that I will probably will run out of storage iCloud.

  Hope now only it syncs to the same library and will disregard the duplicates.
  I'll post an update as soon as I can confirm anything.

• iCloud Photo Library used Incorrect storage

  Hi all

  I have the following problem with iCloud storage of photo library:

  So before you save a 10 Min video I used 1.5 GB on iCloud storage. I recorded the video and takes 3 pictures, I uploaded the video to Youtube and deleted photos and recently deleted, I Wen to iCloud photo library and now I had 3.8 GB used but the video isn't there only 3 pictures, does anyone know how to recover this space?

  You said that you have downloaded the video on YouTube.  Why the video would be in iCloud if you do download in iCloud?  I understand you correctly?

• What is the relationship between the library of Photos and the iPhoto library?

  I'm asking this question here because I can't find all the relevant information online.

  I was dealing with imac a client recently who had a full boot drive. I noticed that his old iPhoto library used 126GB while she had already made the transition to the Photos. His photo library said that he was using a lot more (200 + if I remember correctly). I copied the iPhoto on an external drive library and deleted. Then, I opened the contents of the package and imported pictures remains in program pictures to make sure that I wasn't actually remove all of his memories. Once the work is finished, I was surprised to see that there are more than 6 GB of free space on his computer. What gives? Is there a relationship between the old iPhoto library and new photo library? If so, what is it? Is what I did without danger? I understand at the time that she will not be able to return to iPhoto. But what I'm missing?

  Thanks in advance for your comments.

  No - they are totally separate - connection or relationship of any kind is not

  or the other can be deleted without any effect on the other - but it won't save much space at all and is not recommended - which is exactly what you have seen- Photos saves disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture - Apple Support libraries

• iPhoto and photo library on hard drive storage

  

  I'm trying to free up space on my HD, and I've got this huge 'other' file.  Further investigation, it seems that he might actually reflect my pictures on my computer, despite photos apparently only 12.42 GB of space.

  But then my pictures folder contains 80,21 GB of data.  So, the 'library of Photo migrated' iPhoto said he composed 24.96 GB.  And the photo library makes 53,11 Go.  Can I delete the iPhoto library (is it a duplicate because it was migrated?)

  

  Yes. But you claim back so much space that you think that both applications share the masters BLAH common to both pictures.
