iCloud Photos off?

A few weeks ago, I received a disturbing email from iCloud. He said the following:

My iCloud storage has been disable and I have 30 days to download my 7000 + pictures and videos! Then he showed step by step to download the images in full resolution.

I have no idea why this was sent. Never, I disable my account.

Does anyone of you have received a message like this to Apple? I checked all my devices and iCloud is enabled. I'm afraid I'll lose my photos. My MacBook Air doesn't have enough storage for all photos, nor does my iPhone.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for the replies!

If your iCloud storage limit is exceeded and that you do not purchase a subscription, or leave the towers of current subscription, you will receive this message. Decide if you want to pay, or delete images according to the instructions.

You can check your current usage of iCloud in settings > general > storage & use of iCloud.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How can I redo the process of uploading photos to iCloud photo library for iPhone?

    I had a lot of trouble to download the originals to iCloud photo library to my phone. It works fine on my Mac. So, I'll just do the download process again. Should I disable iCloud photo library on iPhone, remove all the photos from my camera and then turn it back on so it redownloads all icloud photo library to iPhone? I don't want to accidentally delete photos of iCloud library because it's my backup location. I also have original on Mac as well. Thank you very much for the help.

    Turn off iCloud photo library is perhaps the way to go. But first please tell us a little more on the problems that you encounter.

  • iCloud-photo library: only use it as backup?

    I finally got serious about my photo library to backup to the cloud. Because I have Apple products, it seems that iCloud photo library would make the most sense. And with the recent drop in prices, it is now affordable.

    But here's what I can't determine after reading articles: I don't really have interest in what my library that is available to me through devices. My interest in iCloud is simply as a back-up for my photos, in case my house burns down. Can I then turn on iCloud photo library for Photos on my Mac, but leave it for my iPhone and iPad? My concern is that even an optimized thumbnail for almost 15 years of images would take too much memory on my mobile. I'd rather keep manually import the photos that I take on my iPhone for pictures with sync and let the pics to save them from there.

    Who is?

    And the video also back - up iCloud photo library, right?

    Yes, you can turn on or off on a per-device basis, and Yes, it synchronizes videos.

    It must just be better worded. It references only the shared albums as separate from your actual film association. It removes nothing of your camera by activating / deactivating it turned off.

  • All the photos are low resolution JPEG in icloud photo library.

    My photos are raw in iPhoto, but when I got to watch or download from the cloud they are Habitat. I want to store the wines in the cloud and does not take a lot of space on my computer, but so far I don't see them there.

    If you use iCloud photo library, you have Photos app, not iPhoto.

    iCPL is a synchronization service, not an off-site storage or backup service. You must develop a different strategy.

    1. Everything went well (or almost) until the end: ~ 250 pictures remained on my iPhone, not be deleted after hours.
    2. I tried to manually delete the remaining photos but it deleted on iCloud as well.

    Why do I always have photos on my iPhone? Is that because I "IPhone storage to optimize" turned on?

    I would like to disable iCloud library turns off and not of picture about it. How can I keep everything on my iCloud library?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Try going to settings/iCloud and stop synchronization of Photos. Just to be safe, go to settings/Photo and camera and make sure that the synchronization stops there. Now you should be able to remove the pictures from the phone.
