• Hello! If I icloud library disabled, will be always saved pictures? I know that your backup stores the photo library of all devices and because I'm not all devices to be synchronized I think I'm safe and won't lose my pictures/videos. Right?

  Hello! If I icloud library disabled, will be always saved pictures? I know that your backup stores the photo library of all devices and because I'm not all devices to be synchronized I think I'm safe and won't lose my pictures/videos. Can someone please clarify?

  If you want your photos backed up, you must import them into the photos on the computer application that synchronize you with. iCloud photo library is a repository for all the photos for a given iCloud ID. However, it is not required for the care of your photos. I do not use iCloud photo library - import my photos into the library of Photos on my Mac.

  A backup of your device iCloud will save your current film, but if you remove anything from this film, then it will not be available for retrieval at a later date, because backups replace the previous backup version. A backup is so not an archive safe for your photos or videos.

  Photo stream keeps the last 30 days or 1000 photos taken with your camera if you have Photo Stream on, but once again, it's a temporary storage that gets crushed. Photo stream is intended to provide a method of sharing photos between the signed devices on the same iCloud account, but is not intended as an archive.

  Import your pictures and videos on a computer means that all photos and videos are kept in a library on your computer and will be accessible. It is the only safe way to archive your photos:

• Always about 3000 photos do not download to the icloud library. It has nothing different in size or the type of photo as the once that have been downloaded. Any ideas?

  I downloaded my library of images (30000) together in icloud. However, about 3000 of them just won't download. I checked and they are nothing in the size or format, like the rest of the photos. All Jpeg with normal file sizes.

  I already posted this question with screenshots, but no answer yet, try another...

  Thank you.

  I looked at your previous questions, jrenders .

  iCloud library stop downloading after a certain time, ideas?

  Cannot determine why some photos download on icloud and others did not

  There are still a few missing facts to be able to help.

  Have you tried suggestion of Larry with the smart album? Link to this post

  A smart album with the rule "Photography is unable to download to iCloud library" contains all the photos?

  What is the Photos > Preferences panel show?  There is a progress bar?

  You have posted two screenshots:

  Thank you! I took a glance at the pictures that are not uploaded. I added two screenshots to this post. The first image IMG_6613 have download and the second an IMG_6614 did not download.

  No idea why, the news of the photo are in the screenshot. You have an idea why post an and the other not? First of all, I thought it was the extensions .jpg instead of the extension of ge.jp. However, I saw that much .jpg have download.

  Thanks again!

  

  Can you tell us more about the second photo, which does not download?   Can change you it? Can export you it?

  Try to identify the first photo that always must download and does not.  Most of your pictures will be perfectly okay, but a bad point could hide the progression. A video or a photo in a format not supported.

• iCloud library not updated iPhone photos of Mac.  This happens frequently and I don't see a way to force him (he always says that he updated all 'on time').  I tried restarting both devices.

  iCloud library not updated iPhone photos of Mac.  This happens frequently and I don't see a way to force him (he always says that he updated all 'on time').  I tried restarting both devices.  Mac is running latest update of el capitan, and iPhone is 9.1 (on hold until that the photos are actually saved to update to 9.2)

  Try to go to iCloud.com to see if the elements are there and whether the device or the computer. That should indicate if the device or computer is not synchronizing. If the computer, try going to System Preferences/iCloud and stop synchronization. Wait a few minutes, then recheck the timing. If the device, go to settings/iCloud and do the foregoing.

• WARNING: iCloud library deletes the original photos on Mac

  Recently, I turned on the library to iCloud in the Photos app preferences. I chose the option "Download this Mac originals," not "optimize Mac memory" so all my original full quality photos will remain on my Mac and probably be safe. After uploading to the cloud ended (took a while), I made a backup of my Mac using Retrospect. I noticed that a lot (almost all by the number of GB) photos were being backed up, what happens if the file or its attributes modified. I was wondering why to send photos to the cloud would change my photo files. I decided to review individual cases to see if there were differences from the original versions. (Luckily, I had a clone of my HD last week, which had all my photos some before iCloud photo library has been activated.) So I could compare the originals on the clone for the pictures changed on my Mac's hard drive.)

  To find files modified more easy, I used sync Pro, which gives me a list of files that it thinks are different. I discovered that more than 150 of my 9500 photos have been deleted after turning on iCloud photo library! It was shocking, but it is good news.

  I have carefully reviewed the photos maybe a decade or two that had been deleted. If they had any duplicates which were not deleted. In other words, apparently Photos, trying to send photos to iCloud, reviewed my photos and remove duplicates from my hard drive. By comparing these duplicates, I have found not all were an exact replica, as follows.

  • Several photos appear to be identical files with the same size and file modification dates. Actually duplicates, thus eliminating one is without real loss, although I don't like deletions of software that Apple all of my original photos at first.
  • Some 'duplicates' had different size files. It's relative. In all these cases, examine photos of GraphicConverter revealed that Photos had deleted the photo of lower quality, depending on the quality of compression ratio or %. (The photo of lower quality is not always a smaller file size.)
  • Some "double" had same file sizes but different modification dates. I think that, in these cases, pictures kept the old file, which would probably be the original.
  • Some have had different file size and date to change different.  In these cases the Photos deleted the photo of lower quality.

  Based on examination of a small percentage of the total number of deleted duplicates, Photos seem to be taken of intelligent decisions on how to remove duplicate.

  What I don't know, is how or why most photo changed during the download process to iCloud, such files as revealed by Retrospect. But looking at my photos, I did not notice any obvious problems.

  Implementation of Apple to iCloud library caused similar problems when I tried first. He changed most of my files of songs (according to retrospective). When this happened, I have restored the original files of the song from a backup and off the musical library to iCloud. I gave Apple several months for bugs and the week last tried railway. This time, it seems to go smoothly and none of my songs files have been changed. Now I'm enjoyimg music Apple and the possibility to add streaming music to my playlists.

  I like to be able to view my pictures on all my Apple devices, and when the next tvOS comes out soon, I'll be able to view my library on my Apple TV iCloud too. So I won't restore all my photos from a backup, then off iCloud photo library. Here's hoping that I find out later that one of my favorite photos are definitely missing or altered.

  El Capitan 10.11.3

  1.3 photos

  iMac (24 inch, early 2009)

  Based on examination of a small percentage of the total number of deleted duplicates, Photos seem to be taken of intelligent decisions on how to remove duplicate.

  I noticed similar symptoms.  When I import a picture that is a duplicate of one already in my library of Photos, both copies will share the same original image file in the folder of masters. Photos allows you to import duplicates, but will store only one version. This makes it almost impossible to replace JPEG corrupted by the restored versions of a backup.

  You can watch iCloud checking for duplicates while you download new photos. Launch the Console.app and look for the process 'photomodell '. You will see many entries like this:

  

• iCloud library downloads from iPhone stopped 6s

  I turned on iCloud photo library on my iPhone 6s, but it stopped downloading after a while and I cannot find a way to let him finish. He seems to lack pictures more than 3 months. It is stuck at "downloading 1 474 points (1.35 GB 305.9 MB). Some of them were transferred from Android phone when I got my iPhone in 12/2015, but not all. My iCloud storage always reports 3.7 GB available. I have not upgraded to iOS 10.

  Apple support appellant's answers:
  (1) check the battery and connect the power cord so weak (it had fallen to < 30%)

  (2) force close Photos & camera apps by double-clicking the home button and then slide up (Photos app has been reduced to a minimum but not closed).

  Now shows download active status under settings iCloud photo library!

• Images deleted (and videos) icloud library do not disappear into the folder of the masters

  I've got iCloud Library set up on my Mac OS X 10.11.6 and my iPhone iOS 9.3.3

  I have 300 + pictures and videos in my library to iCloud and then I recently deleted 50 + useless pictures and videos on my Mac to prepare a backup on Google Photos for the first time. I then tried Google pictures and to my surprise, the pictures I deleted still get uploaded to Google pictures even if I them deleted on my Mac, still 300 + of them.

  I am looking for .mov in the masters in my library folder, and I always find my deleted videos. I tried to use unwanted CleanMyMac to photo but it is not deleted.

  Is it possible to remove the so-called "deleted" photos and videos without completely deleting my library of Photos, or should I make a cool library to start over?

  Give 30 days to remove or open the recently deleted folder and delete now

  and to get rid of CleamMyMac - it is Malware total and may have damaged your library or your system and can be the cause of your problems - do not install MacKeeper

• iCloud drive hides too much data locally?

  iCloud drive hides too much data locally?

  I just started using icloud drive to store very large files, but now my local storage on my MBA has dropped way to several concerts less than a gigabyte. Icloud tent hiding too well locally? I can't find a setting for this.

  iCloud drive holds shadow copies of all the files on your Mac so you can always access your documents, even in offline mode. It is supposed to keep your documents synced to your devices, not as only an off-site storage to save space on the mac.

  You can't stop the shadow - on iCloud drive all files will be downloaded to your Mac, if you enable iCloud drive.

  If you want to iCloud drive as an external storage without the shadow, don't turn on your Mac, but only use the web interface at www.iCloud.com to download and view the documents there. But then you will not be able to see iCloud drive as a drive in the Finder.

• Some Notes on iCloud library on a Mac

  iCloud photo library is a great way to keep the libraries in sync across several Macs. Most of the changes made on a Mac will update on all Macs that also use iCloud photo library (we'll ignore for now iOS devices).

  Exceptions to the rule: (use pictures and iCloud library on several Macs - Apple Support)

  • Projects does not synchronize: books, cards, calendars and slideshows
  • Thumbnails of faces doesn't sync, faces only available tags.
  • Not referenced photos download to iCloud photo library at all.

  A library of Photos it takes on a volume formatted Mac OS extended (journaled), if you want to use iCloud photo library.  https://help.Apple.com/photos/Mac/1.0/?lang=en#/pht211de786

  Not all media items can download on iCloud photo library. If the photo library has been upsized from iPhoto or Aperture, it can contain media, which are not compatible with iCloud photo library, for example some audio file format, or TIFF images high resolution. These will show as 'Local' only at the bottom of the display of Photos.

  Because the version of your photo library iCloud can miss information compared to the local version, a library of Photos to iCloud recovery can be frozen. Always keep a good local backup.

  Sometimes Photos will begin to download the complete library again to iCloud to compare it to the version of iCloud. This new download may take a very long time. For example, complete my library with 36000 necessary pictures a week to download it again.

  A new download will occur after the following events:

  • If iCloud library is turned again for a library.
  • If the photo library is moved to another drive.
  • If the photo library is restored from a backup.
  • If the photo library is repaired; See note: "difficulty missing or incorrect thumbnails in photo - Apple Support"

  Try to avoid these situations, if possible.  Photos's repeated outages can cause a repair of the library, but also issues permission, when you use the library of Photos from different user accounts.

  Ahh, very useful information.  And show me how meet the requirement of 'Ask a Question' new specialties when there isn't a question at hand.  Thank you.

• Remove iCloud library remove my photos from my camera

  I want to back up my data but the I cloud photo library takes too much space so I want to know if turn off iCloud library would remove the pictures and videos from my camera, and I don't have a pc if you are using a computer would not be a valid solution

  I was wondering this too! I received an email from Apple as soon as I turned off my iCloud photo library, and he says: "You must download full resolution photos and videos at least one device before they are deleted icloud library within 30 days."

  "Photos full resolution" are pictures that have more pixels, compared to photos low low-pixel resolution. If you're wondering what pixels are and why they are important, they essentially affect the size and sharpness of a photo. Large, clear photo is a full/high resolution photo. A small blurry photo is a picture of low resolution.

  I'm sure this means that if you want the best and the most beautiful photos, you can let your iCloud photo library on. If you don't mind more blurry, less polite pictures, turn the power off. Keep reading, though, before you go turn off your iCloud library.

  Good, now that I've explained what activating / deactivating the iCloud photo library will do to your photos, I will give you the answer to your question:

  I don't think that the pictures on your iPad will be deleted if you turn off your iCloud photo library. If your photos mean a lot to you and you don't want to take the risk to remove, do not turn off your iCloud photo library. Turn it off and not turn on again in 30 pourrait delete your photos. I don't think he's going to remove them, but it could very likely.

  Summary of my response/TLDR: I do not think that your photos will be deleted if you turn off your iCloud photo library, but they might, so if your photos are very important to you (and you do not want to risk having to delete them), then keep it.

  Sincerely,

• Can I transfer my photos on iCloud and always keep them on my Mac?

  Can I transfer my photos on iCloud and always keep them on my MacMini?

  Yes. Indeed if you use iCloud photo library and delete a picture of the Photos app on your Mac, it will be also deleted icloud.

  If you open the preferences of Photos and click on iCloud at the top of the preferences window and turn on iCloud photo library and also select the 'download for the Mac originals"rather than the"Optimize Mac Storage"option, the original size will be kept on your Mac.

• Apple music turn on and iCloud library

  Hi, I initially activated music Apple iCloud library during my 3 month trial and he has deleted all my music on my iPhone/iPad and iMac playlists and I had to reset all my devices to factory settings and start over again and recreate playlists. I am interested in the reactivation of apple's music once again.  It will remove all my playlists again if I reactive on all my devices?

  also I have an iPod classic 160 gb that I use on a regular basis, how does this affect apple music?

  Thanks in advance

  Alistair

  If you have created playlists for music in your iTunes library, then those should not be affected by the Apple music. That said you should always run Time Machine or another backup solution in case something goes wrong.

  If you re-enable music Apple and iTunes in the cloud corresponds to all the tracks in your library and available to any eligible device that supports music Apple. Securities without correspondence will be downloaded and available for broadcast as well as iTunes Match made. Once this process is complete, you can create new playlists that incorporate the musical Apple or make use of the Apple held selections in the sections 'For You' and 'New' to iTunes and the app music iOS.

  Note that Apple music is protected by DRM and devices must have wifi or cell phone to confirm your subscription before you can listen to or download songs from Apple's music. So your iPod Classic won't work with Apple music. Unfortunate but that's its something that will not change.

• Cannot activate icloud library

• iCloud library download not any photo library

  Hello

  I decided to start using iCloud photo library, so I checked the option "Préférences"-> "iCloud" Photos (version 2.0). He started to download items very well, but I noticed it is not downloading the entire library of Photos. My photo library contains 7065 photos and 151 videos, but Photos only started to load about 2500 points on iCloud library after activating what is 16.5 GB (see screenshots). When you look at the size of "Library.photoslibrary Photos" is 46.5. Does anyone know a reason for this difference? Thank you

  

  

  It'll take some time according to the signal from your ISP and Wi - Fi.  Make sure that your signal is good.

• If I upload my photos to the iCloud library remain my original photos on my MacBook Pro?

  If I upload my photos to the iCloud library remain my original photos on my MacBook Pro?

  Yes, they do. See:iCloud photo library - Apple Support

  Note that if you open the Photos on your Mac and go to preferences and click on iCloud at the top of the preferences window, there are 2 options: 'Download the originals of this Mac' and 'Optimize Mac storage.' If you choose the option optimize and your Mac is low on storage space, then the originals can be replaced with smaller optimized versions.
