• Removal of old photos of the iPhone with iCloud photo library on

I've been running iCloud photo library - but not Photostream - and without really look deep into the settings exactly, when I take pictures on my phone they usefully automatically found in the Photos app on my macbook. When I remove photos from my phone, they also seem to disappear too from my mac.

• photostream ios7 not synchronized with ios9 icloud photo library?

  The title of my post is actually also my question.

  I have an iPad2/iOS7x. Not wanting to update since I saw that another older I became practically useless when I updated to iOS8, then iOS9.

  I used services iCloud and Photostream on it - everything is normally backed to the cloud with no problems.

  I recently bought an iPhone6/iOS9. While I was setting this up I was asked if I wanted to move to iCloud photo library. I did, but now I realized that:

  1 iPad2/iOS7 photos does not synchronize on iPhone6

  2 iPad2/iOS7 photos appear not anywhere in the pictures on www.icloud.com application

  3 iPhone6/iOS9 photos does not sync on iPad 2/iOS7

  So my question is: are these two versions iOS7 incompatible iOS9 about the timing of the photo?

  Hi love,

  I understand that you have some question about iCloud photo library and Photo streams. Let's see if we can clarify this.

  The extent of iCloud photo library, yes iOS 7 is not compatible. Your devices will have to be at least 8.3 iOS to see all of your library or upgrade to iOS 9 on all your devices. Now, you can still have my stream of photos or iCloud, sharing photos to go to iOS devices 7, but you wouldn't have the entire library, like on iOS devices 9. Take a glance at the article below for details on what the requirements are for iCloud will go.

• Can I keep only a few original pictures on devices with iCloud photo library?

  Hello. I do not use iCloud library but I wonder if starts using it.

  I have about 150 pictures of GB that I keep on my Mac and I would have the best of them synced on my device iOS for very fast availability.

  I see that iCloud library settings allow user to retain the original or to optimize the storage device iOS.

  As it is too keep 150GB on my iPhone, but at the same time I would like to have original photos for some albums, is it possible to make a selection of what to keep on the iPhone than the original?

  Finally, do you have an idea of how much space is used on the device if "Optimizes iPhone storage" is selected and only the bulky versions are stored on the iPhone? Let's say, for the original photo of 100 GB, how do need me for optimizes it versions?

  As it is too keep 150GB on my iPhone, but at the same time I would like to have original photos for some albums, is it possible to make a selection of what to keep on the iPhone than the original?

  It is dynamic. Photos will optimize original, if you need more storage. It will keep the pictures that you used most recently and optimize photos more old ones, which were not seen in a long time.  But you have no control over which photos will be optimized and what pictures will be full size.

  Finally, do you have an idea of how much space is used on the device if "Optimizes iPhone storage" is selected and only the bulky versions are stored on the iPhone? Let's say, for the original photo of 100 GB, how do need me for optimizes it versions?

  It is not documented and will depend on the size of your original photos. You will save more, if the originals are very large.

  But it has been reported here that optimization reduced the size of the library about 10% of the original size. Up to 10 GB should be sufficient in your example.

• How to remove photos from my iPhone 6 s, without deleting icloud photo library on all my devices with ios 9.2.1?

  I just updated my iPhone 6s ios 9.2.1 and whenever I try to remove photos from the iPhone library, it is said that they will remove the iCloud photo library on all devices. I don't want to do, I want to save the photos on my computer, but free up space on my phone. Help!

  If you have iCloud library enabled in the iPhone then any photo that you delete from your phone is also removed to iCloud and all devices connected to this library to iCloud. It is not a setting or an option where you can change this while continuing to use iCloud photo library. You can reduce the space required on the phone by activating the settings > iCloud > Photos > optimize iPhone storage. You can suggest that Apple offers more options via: http://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html

• Should I Photostream if I use iCloud photo library

  Hi, I use iCloud library on my MBP, two iPhones and iPad and I still active Photostream.

  I'll try to find our knowledge if I need Photostream as well as use iCloud.  I have more than enough storage for the moment in the cloud then from what I can tell Photostream is not something that would fail me if I turned it off.  At the same time, I can't find a definitive answer anywhere!

  Grateful that if ever I decide to stop using the cloud, I can turn Photostream for my last few thousand photos.

  I also try to work if there is anyway that I can reduce the amount of space on my iPhone which currently takes about 13 GB of photo library.

  Any help would be welcome.

  Thank you

  Matt

  If you do not use my Photo Stream, turn off all devices.

  You need my photo only, stream if you also use older devices with iOS 7 or more, which can not support iCloud photo library. But if all your devices are set to synchronize with iCloud photo library, you don't need my photo stream. It might even cause problems.

• Relink 'Library of Photos' to iCloud photo library

  This question relates to a clean install of Mac OS Sierra

  I have my library of Photos in pictures file, and there all my uploaded images. When I format my computer, how can I create a link to this file with iCloud photo library, so I don't have to download anything new?

  I still did not understand the exact procedure for this and want to avoid download it all again as I have in the past. There must be a way to link to the top, since I downloaded them all already.

  You can not

  If you restore a library or repair one that it triggers a total upload to make sure that everything is in harmony, there is no way to avoid that - you just start a new library and let ICPL fill the iCloud - he loses people and all

• iCloud photo library is not available

  I have an imac with mac sierra.  When I go to system-> Preferences-> icloud and try to choose 'photos', he keeps by unchecking it. no error message. When I opened the photos app and go to Preferences-> iCloud library its selected.

  They both should not be selected?

  Also at the top left there are 'photos' I thought showed pictures.  under the albums, there is a folder "all photos". Celle one of the high 'photos', seems to have stopped to update, as the choice of background under albums, "all photos" has all the latest photos and continues to update.  Anyone know if this is normal or what is wrong?

  I have an imac with mac sierra.  When I go to system-> Preferences-> icloud and try to choose 'photos', he keeps by unchecking it. no error message. When I opened the photos app and go to Preferences-> iCloud library its selected.

  I had which also occur at first. Is photos showing a short message 'check library' before it resets the check mark for iCloud > Photos?

  In this case, fix your photo library.  After I fixed the library, it was possible to activate system preferences-> icloud-> Photos.  See this help page: https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.2/?lang=en#/pht6be18f93

  Important: You must back up your library before repair of your library.

  • If the photo is open, choose Photos > Photos of quit smoking.
  • Press Option-command and double-click on the Photos icon in the Applications folder (or click the Photos icon in the Dock). The library of repair window opens.
  • Click on fix to rebuild your library.

  The second problem can also indicate a problem with the library:

  under the albums, there is a folder "all photos". Celle one of the high 'photos', seems to have stopped to update, as the choice of background under albums, "all photos" has all the latest photos and continues to update.  Anyone know if this is normal or what is wrong?

  Photos seems to be missing in the 'Photos' album, but the power be sorted differently from the album picture all.  Select one of the photos in all the Photos that does not appear in the Photos, ctrl-click and use the command 'display in the moment '.  If she does not appear in the Moments in Photos, fix the library.

• How to handle Monster pictures 30 K in iCloud photo library? Segment or archive, suggestions?

  Hi there-

  I managed to hang a new iPhone 7 now and want to put up, but I'm struggling under the weight of a photo 32 000 iCloud photo library. Yes, I know it's my fault - we had iPhones for years, I'm an accountant family and the taker of the photo, I take too many pictures, I save too many photos, I have teenage girls who take a LOT of pictures.

  SO I think they are in the library of iCloud.  When I'm on my phone with iOS 10, I see "All Photos" and the total is slightly less than 32K - BUT I don't really need TO see all 32,000?  In fact, I don't really want to?  I would like to know that they are saved in their original resolution, but never need access to all those who, on minutes notice: they took 10 years to build up!

  Can I 'archive' in iCloud library?  They segment somehow?

  I have 7 more than 256 GB iPhone memory - isn't a storage thing, it's just something exaggerated.  I'm considering a facility clean b/c I'm also about 1000 apps more than 10 years old.

  But once I sign in iCloud, I think that 30K pictures will come streaming back, right?

  Other info:

  -My use of Photos on my 6 current iPhone is about 40 GB

  -J' have 800 GB available on a 1 TB iCloud account

  -In my iCloud account, it says that my photo library ICloud is 97 GB

  -I don't have an unlimited Smugmug Pro with photo storage account (although I'm not really all 32K of these-there are many who are not guards).

  -J' I download Google Photos to try to save it, but there still 30 000 pictures to back up.

  -J' have a MacBook Air but (gulp) do not have upgraded the operating system to have Photos for Mac yet.

  I would really appreciate it here a road map to get out of this situation - or not "stack" putting them all on my 256 GB iPhone 7 more and just accumulating more!

  Thanks in advance for the help!

  Why not only the photos in the photo library of iCloud?

• I do not understand iCloud photo library...

  IM probably having a time above, but I am having trouble with the use of the library.

  I found that the way it worked you take a bunch of photos on your iPhone and then download the ones you want to keep the photo library to icloud. Everyone has signed in the same iTunes account could then download those they loved and keep them locally on their device.

  The way it seems to actually work is that every single photo I take gets downloaded, and then downloaded to each single device on the account and if I delete one of the photos on my phone (for free space, for example) the same pictures are deleted on the iCloud library and all devices!

  is there really no way to selectively download the library and then keep the photos here as a repository of images?

  What is the point of having just pictures on all devices?

  Am I missing something here?

  You ask if it is not possible with iCloud Photos because it was not designed for this.  iCloud is a mirror/sync implementation service that synchronizes all your photos/videos on all of your devices, making them almost immediately available on all your devices, and if you happen to delete a photo or video to a device, it is removed from all devices.

  iCloud was not designed as a storage system traditional cloud based.  If that's what you're looking for, then you will have to look for opportunities to third parties such as Flickr, Dropbox or Google Photos.

  You can also use the function "Optimize iPhone storage" to save space on your device.

• Solution of fast backup, photos of google or iCloud photo library?

  Hey there Apple community, im in a bit of a situation difficult and need a few thoughts. My iPhone more than 6 s is fully charged to 64 GB of photos and applications. My iMac is fully loaded with photos in iphoto, Yosemite. I have 10% left in my iMac HD. It won't let me save my iphone. I know I go through my iphoto library and organize and delete some photos and consolidate the events before migrating to the new application photos and then move it to icloud photo library, but I'm very limited on time in the next few months and won't be able to do. I wrestle on a quick temporary solution for backup, but don't want to spoil or lose my precious photos and other data.

  But this is what im thinking, tell me if this would mess things up.

  I would like to either temporarily back up all my photos on Google photos for now from my iphone, and then when I'm ready, I'm going to migrate my iphoto library all on my imac to the photo library to icloud and then transfer my photo library from google to the photo library icloud (but not sure. If it works Someone at - it experience with google pictures and Mac?).

  Or I simply activate the iCloud library of photos on my phone while it backs up my current pictures on my phone last year and then optimize my storage on my phone. Then a few months starting now to migrate my iphoto library 268 GB of Photos app on my iMac running Yosemite and then migrate the library of Photos in this same icloud photos library that I opened a few months back from my phone (I understand I will pay $10 per month for the size of the library). I feel like the latest one is the best option, but I'm not sure if I do it my icloud library won't sync and consolidate properly because I started with my current pictures on my phone and then brought in my library of photos together for the last 5 years at a later date. How do you think any community?

  Why not get an external drive and move the photo library of the computer to the outside. If successful, you can then remove the library on the computer, or just keep it as a backup.

  The article is for iPhoto, but the basics are the same.

• Access iCloud photo library on iPhone

  iPhone 6 + 128 GB
  Latest version of the software running
  A lot of memory on the phone on the left

  I recently went to Apple to try to fix a problem of very small software (safari repeatedly crashing) I got with my phone.  The solution? A clean wipe of the phone.  If that's what I did.  However, I went home with what should be a solved problem, and he was always to be funny.  Being me, I'd rather have a glitch safari with all my previous settings and tact on my entire phone apps to have a glitchy safari while trying to drop my phone back to a semblance of normality.  In these circumstances, I restored my latest backup (which was the day before) and had my phone 'back' to me.

  Unfortunately, I can't seem to get pictures of my iCloud is displayed on my iPhone.  I can see them on my PC via iCloud.com, they are always there, but I have NO idea how to make back to my phone.  I tried to turn the iCloud photo library button in the settings of the iPhone, but it does not, either.  I don't mind even if they don't come back to my iPhone (although, in the end, I would have PREFERRED that, as I tend to look back in time with photos of my kids and doing collages with current photos), but I just want to be able to ACCESS.  Like... whatever it is at this point, really, to be able to see the pictures on my iPhone.

  I tried searching everywhere on how to accomplish only access photos of icloud for iphone, but everywhere only gives advice on photos of the icloud iphone, which I'm perfectly capable of doing.  It's just the opposite, that seems to be annoying.

  Can anyone help?

  Just a guess - in addition to the activating/deactivating the key to iCloud in the settings of the iPhone photo library, I would also try signing out & in icloud - perhaps with a reboot or restart forced between the two.
