• 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.

• What happens when you disable and remove iCloud library after 30 days?

  Hello Apple, so today I disabled and deleted iCloud library in my settings, I wanted to know if the application is deleted from your phone after 30 days, to take pictures with your camera what happens after 30 days, and if after 30 days you turn on iCloud Photo library of back?

  If you just stopped synchronization, photos should remain on the device. The 30 days, you mentioned is that if you remove the device. The application will remain even if you delete all the photos. If after 30 days you turn on synchronization, all photos will be synchronized.

• If I remove iCloud library in my iPhone (but not on my Mac) I lost photos?

  I have iCloud library enabled on my iPhone and Mac.

  Everything works perfectly, great synchronization, all photos back available for me to see 10 years.

  Now I have run out of space on my iPhone, and my photos (despite the optimization of storage on iCloud photo library) are the main reason for this.

  If I disable iCloud photo library on my iPhone, but keep it on my Mac, what will happen?

  Do I lose all the photos?

  Once I did, if I delete the pictures of my phone are they so just deleted from my phone, but not my iCloud?

  Appreciate the help, thanks

  If you disable iCloud photo library on your iPhone, you will see more pictures on this device. iCloud photo library on your Mac will still have pictures. You should not lose all the photos from your Mac, but make a copy of your library beforehand should put your mind at rest until you can verify that he has lost. Delete the pictures taken on your iPhone will not affect your Mac or iCloud, but neither future pictures taken on your iPhone will go into iCloud photo library.

• 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,

• 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:

• 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:

  

• Photos about El Capitan with iCloud library active lose local photos?

  Recently, I wanted to use iCloud library to have a backup of my personal memories cloud. I had my library set up in the Photos of El Capitan and allowed iCloud photo library. It is still downloading but I have known a few disruptive effects.

  Then, suddenly, I realize that a few pictures and movies have an exclamation point. Clicking on it it tells me that the photo was not able to find the original file, or sometimes he says he wasn't able to download the original to iCloud and I should try again later.

  The thing is: I'm on the Mac, where is the main library of Photos. Must download from here. He is the master copy. Why pictures removed some local files in the first place and try to upload them to iCloud again when he should just have this file on the local hard drive? This happened to someone?

  By logging into iCloud.com and go in the Photos app, I can see the movie file is there. So he managed to download there, thank God. But how can I re - link the file missing to this copy iCloud again?

  Here are my questions for this situation.

  (1) is it possible to create a smart album showing me all the pictures to what Photos can't find the local file? An album with all the pictures and movies that have an exclamation point?

  (2) is it possible to reconnect a file missing a copy in iCloud? Where can I download the file from iCloud and re-connect the missing file of Photos in a local file on my hard drive? Or do I need to import it back this picture and put manually into any album that I had it in earlier?

  (3) is this normal download process? Pictures downloading images and movies to iCloud, then delete the original or download the file from iCloud? Is it a problem of weird first sync that will resolve itself once I have let the download process to iCloud finish? But why deleted pictures from the file in the first place? This seems odd to me.

  (4) if nothing helps and I see that iCloud got all original and everything is there, but local library refuses to get the original to iCLoud files, how can I reset my local iPhoto library and redownload all icloud without endangering my album, photos, videos and all the settings and changes I made?

  Thanks for your help! It's really appreciated.

  1 - iCloud iPhoto Library s not a backup - it is a method of sharing to ensure that libraries on multiple devices are the same - all changes made on any device are made on all

  2 - doe photos not "remove" anything - users - if something is missing it's because of the action of the user

  3 - Although what you see does not sound as if it was your problem before you start making changes allow the process to complete stabilize - during the downloading process things can be wobbly

  4. There is no smart album to identify the missing originals

  5. in the preferences Photos do youhave that it set to download the originals on the Mac or use photos optimized?

  6 - did you do any cleaning system or run software cleaning as MacKeeper or CleanMyMac (Hint - NOT - they are not necessary and can spoil things wrong)

  leave again once the process completed before you make changes - one each thing is downloaded and stable then return for further assistance if you need

• 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.

• photos on iCloud library not to display on the iPhone

  Hello

  First of all, I am running: MacOS Sierra & iOS 10.

  I'm Tournai on iCloud photo library on my mac and synchronized about 6000 pictures (which was AAAGGGEEESSS) to the cloud.

  I then turned on the iCloud photo library on my iPhone 6 s, and once again, downloaded more than 1500 pictures.

  Now, in the Photos app on my mac, I can see all the photos (including my phone) and when I login to iCloud via a web browser, I can also see all 7000 +. However, on the application of photos on my iPhone, only photos taken on the phone are displayed - rather than those of my mac.

  Am I missing something? As I understand it, all my photos must be posted on the phone (even if "Optimized storage" is enabled).

  Try the head tilt iCloud library switch to see if it could kickstart on the iPhone.

• iCloud library always up-to-date!

  Hi guys,.

  I have an iPhone 6 and I started using icloud library recently. I turned on icloud photo library on my iphone and the photos were perfectly sync with icloud. Later, I've disabled icloud photo library on my iphone and uploaded a few photos to icloud by using the web interface via google chrome (using a windows pc). Then I turned on icloud photo library on my iphone and the photos I have uploaded via google chrome have been be synced to my phone and I got a message on my iphone saying that my phone doesn't have enough available space to complete the synchronization, so I cancelled the sync to my iphone. Later, when I logged in my photo library icloud thanks to google chrome and bottom of the screen he just keeps telling 'updated'. Now when I remove some photos of icloud photo library thanks to google chrome, the photos reappear when I login to icloud again. Also, I can't create new albums or download new photos on icloud photo library. Expecting a solution from anyone and it will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  When he says "updated", are you connected to a Terminal Wifi good and reliable?

• Unable to choose "iCloud library" after the restoration of Mac

  Hello everyone, this is my first time, ask a question here.

  I have a MacBook Pro with a library of 57 214 (317 GB) photos stored on an external hard drive. I recently downloaded all these photos to iCloud library (it took 5 days!) but just yesterday, I had to do a clean OS install. Since then, I tried to implement the pictures once again.

  My library on the hard drive is set as the system library, but when I select 'iCloud photo library' with the option ' download originals of this Mac ", it selects, then begins to download, it cancels the. If I try to select it again, the same thing happens.

  

  Two minutes later...

  

  Can someone tell what I can do? Should I remove the pictures from the cloud and try again?

  The problem may be that the free storage is not enough to download all original icloud in addition to the pictures already in your library.

  It might be easier to download the library of iCloud to an empty library instead of download the. library again.

  Do you have plans in your photo library, you need to save or invested a lot of work by naming the faces?

  Otherwise, move your existing photo library to an external drive as a backup copy, then remove the library of your internal drive.

  • Launch of Photos with the options key held down to bring up the library Chooser Panel.
  • Select this option to create a new library.
  • Make this new library your system photo library and activate iCloud.  Your photos and albums will begin to download. It will be faster than the download. Once again and the merger of the two libraries.

  But the download will not restore the named faces and not projects. IF you keep the original library to access your projects and have a reference for the faces that he will have to restore.
