• Storage utilization & iCloud > storage management > Photos and camera

  I'm trying to free up storage on my iPhone 6 more running iOS 9.3.1. Photos is empty. Recently deleted photos is empty. Photos is disabled in settings > icloud > photos. The rockers are disabled in the settings > photos and camera. But its still appearing as using 440 MB of storage in the photo library and 30.6 MB in shared photo streams.

  

  How to explain and free this storage? Are there ghosts stored photos? All other discussions on this topic as the change of date and time has not worked for me.

  Is this storage room # or iCloud?

  If you connect to iCloud.com, see you there in Photos?

• 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?

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

  I had a 6 128 GB iPhone for a couple of years and I bought a Macbook Pro about a year ago. 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.

  Recently, in an arrangement of happy until I started running low on space on my phone. My question is, is my library in 'mirror' between my devices? IE if I say, delete all my photos from 2012 to 2014 my phone, they are removed from my macbook too? Obviously, it would be disastrous.

  I guess my question is, what are the best settings to have a situation where my photos will be driven by my phone to my laptop, but then stored on my laptop indefinitely?

  Any help is appreciated.

  Hello

  When you use iCloud photo library, deletion of a photo or a video on any device that uses the service will remove this item in all of them and also to iCloud.

  The following resources may help explain how the photos and videos are managed by iCloud photo library, including the possibility to optimize the storage on your iPhone:

  • iCloud photo library - Apple Support
  • Get help with your photo library - Apple Support iCloud

  To manually import pictures to your laptop, you can follow the steps detailed here:

  • Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - Apple Support

  Other resources:

  • Take and manage his Photos - Support official Apple
  • Manage your storage space photo and video - Apple Support

• Pix & Editor Photo Manager of LR etc.?

  I spent all my time to test recent editors of different photos - Raw processing, Lightroom, darktable, Capture One, Lightzone, Photoshop Elements, affinity, ACDC Mac Pro, DXO Optics 11 - on and on. Most of them is best editors (IMO) than pictures, but I prefer the ease of use and search for photo management. And since we now have two "extensions" and in particular the extension "External editors", I wonder why I should not simply use pictures for management and my 'catalogue' and some minor/quickie changes and exit to all others, I prefer to do more complex work.

  I mean, what's wrong with this picture? Photos is pretty quick and easy, good import, has a few basic changes, and fantasy guys are always more or less available, either by extensions (or some of them) and by export and re - import (even if it work you on duplicates, I suppose).

  Anyway, would love to hear from someone who has tried this or he tries now, how it worked, and what are the limits, what to watch out for, etc.

  Thank you very much.

  And since we now have two "extensions" and in particular the extension "External editors", I wonder why I should not simply use pictures for management and my 'catalogue' and some minor/quickie changes and exit to all others, I prefer to do more complex work.

  That's what I've done since publishing extensions became available.

  My main reason to stick with Photos is iCloud photo library.  There is no other easy way to sync my library of Photos between multiple Macs.

  I found that I must not fall back on the Photo editing spotted too often. I'm careful to take my pictures so they don't need much editingbeyond straighten the horizon lsightly, cropping, perhaps to correct the white balance and adjust the highlights and shadows. Everything that can be done in pictures.

  I mainly use extensions or external for a correction of perspective editors, if it was not possible to take the picture with the correct perspective, for the smoothing of the skin and for touch-ups. I try to avoid extensions if mounting can be done in Photos, for two reasons:

  • Extensions create a new master file almost, like Aperture. Then they break up which edition.
  • And they are not yet as stable as I could wish. For example, extensions of affinity cannot edit some panoramic shots, they can reframe the edited section. And I often get an error message when I try to save the modified version - for affinity extensions and extensions site, for the most part, if I try to apply multiple extensions to the same photo.

• Create a subset of iCloud photo library photos...

  I use iCloud photo library, which is OK but heavy.

  Is there a way to define a subset of pictures of this library to have on my iPhone instead of having everything on my iPhone?

  Several issues from my point of view;

  -I don't want to go through all my photos on my iPhone, I can easily select about 30% of all my photos I want available

  -Currently, photos on my iPhone consumes much too 11 GB of memory.

  -I know that I can create a new library system with a limited number of pictures, but find to manage several libraries a real pain

  Any suggestions are welcome

  ICloud photo library usage is purely optional. To reduce the amount of storage space used on your iPhone, set Photos to use an optimized local library.

  If you choose to not to turn on iCPL, use iTunes to select and synchronize you want to keep on the iPhone. Excited about my photo stream automatically copy new images from iPhone to your computer.

• Undo deletion of iCloud photo library

  A few weeks ago, I decided to remove my photos in the cloud. I went in the iCloud settings and disabled iCloud photo library. At that time, he started ticking down from 30 days before deleting. At this point, I left six days. How can I cancel the removal of the photo library? The reactivation does not seem to do the trick...

  Fixed - you must 'undo delete' on the device you disabled, under management of storage in iCloud preferences.

• 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.

• IPhone Photo: can I delete on the Iphone, but who will remove them icloud Photos

  I want to assure you that try to save space on my Iphone or Ipad, I not permanently erase the photos on my photo library iCloud. Just recently, I migrated iPhoto Photos and raised my iCloud to 200 GB storage. My iPhoto library is large (several years photos) to 72 GB. Since my Ipad and Iphone are connected to this library iCloud, I don't want to go beyond memory on these two smaller devices (Iphone and Ipad). My MBP has lots of storage and that was my main place to keep the photos. Any suggestions on how to handle this would be greatly appreciated.

  iCloud photo library is designed to adjust the size of the library stored on your device for the storage available on this device. But we must "Maximize pictures" turned on under settings > Photos. Here is an excerpt of the article first, I provided a link for below:

• If I disable iCloud photo library, my photos always get included in my General iPhone backups?

  I don't want to use iCloud photo library at all so I turned it off.

  The photos that I now keep stored locally on my phone always get included in backups of General phone? Or they are excluded?

  Thank you

  They are included when iCloud library is off and excluded when the iCloud library is turned on.  You can see the option to include or exclude in the settings manually > iCloud > storage > Manage Store > iPhone > look down.

• icloud photo library synchronization

  Hello

  I recently decided to synchronize all my photos via iCloud photo library.

  I wanted to keep the originals on my iMac but synch to my phone and iPad.

  Now I am a happy person to wink a little and had pictures going back 10-15 years, in fact there is more 18,000 of them. I don't go back more later delete a few, but want to keep what I had for a while.

  I initially just kept a copy on my iMac and then synchronized to my iPad via iTunes. I have in the albums which was pretty good.

  This process has been synching for about a week, but nothing has changed for at least a day and there are still about 600 photos to sync. I checked the albums and many photos on them are a bit blurry but they are the only record of my travels have and want to keep them.

  Can you tell me what I need to do. Or using I have come back to what I had before and synchronization with iTunes and iPhoto photo streams.

  May we make a suggestion?

  Concerning

  Chris

  This process has been synching for about a week, but nothing has changed for at least a day and there are still about 600 photos to sync.

  It is not unusual for a library of this size to take so long to download or even longer without any visible progress.

  Where it is suspended?  Is the upload to iCloud photo library of your suspended Mac, or synchronization with the iPhone and the iPad?

  Is your Mac, showing a progress bar in the Photos > Preferences > iCloud? Or is passed to the progress bar?

  You can check with a smart album, if your photo library containing pictures or videos, which can not download.

  Use ' file > new smart album ' and these settings:

  

  How much storage space you have on your iPhone / iPad? with your great library of Photos, you need to enable "storage management" on mobile devices. So not all willl be stored locally and they will look blurry, until what download you from iCloud photo library.

• Removed all icloud photo library, 1.9 GB still in use

  I deleted all of my photo, My Photo Stream etc. flows including shared library iCloud.

  I have also ensured that the recently deleted album is empty. I disabled iCloud photo library on each device. It should not be a trace of left.

  However, I always told my library back 1.9 GB of my storage iCloud. There is an option to turn it off completely but it will take 30 days, which is a long wait when I don't know if it will work.

  Any ideas that he could be taking all this space? Or if there is a way to reset all empty without waiting for 30 days?

  I use the latest version of iOS on my iPad and the iPhone, and the El Capitan on my Mac if that helps.

  Have you tried to log in to your iCloud account, then sign in again?

• 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.
