If I turn on iCloud local library, my library on my iMac remain intact and still receive new photos and videos as well?

I was using iCloud library until I received a message that my storage was almost full on my iPhone and I could take is more new photos or video.  I wanted to delete the pictures and videos from my phone to free up storage space, but it is difficult or not delete my files on my phone would also result in their be removed from the library thus iCloud.  So I decided to disable iCloud photo library and uploaded to my iMac (as I was given 20 days to do so).

I was under the impression that my local library of Photos on my iMac would always remain in tact and updated independently of the library to iCloud.  Isn't this true?

All help on this subject never mention 'Download' and 'Download' to and from iCloud, but there is nothing that confirms my library local photos remain in tact and current.  Someone can it confirm please?

It is provided that you activate the photo stream instead.

but it is become difficult or not delete my files on my phone would also cause their be removed from the library thus iCloud.

With iCloud library enabled, you cannot delete a photo on a device (or iCloud.com) without deleting each device which uses iCloud photo library (iCloud.com). In order to save space on your mobile devices (and indeed your Mac if you want to) turn on the optimization of the pictures on these devices (settings > photos & camera > optimize storage on your mobile device and Photo preferences > optimize storage on your Mac)

Dynamic optimization, it reduces the resolution of your photos, if necessary, so that you don't notice it occurring initially. However, when necessary, it is very effective, and users have reported libraries being optimized for much less than 10% of their original size in some cases. My own library is about 9% of its original on my phone size.

    I have an iPod Classic 180 GB which I only use in the car.

    When I try to transfer the Playlist of 'Music Apple' I get the following message

    I can't find an option on my iPod Classic to turn on iCloud music library.

    If someone can advise?

    I suspect that the answer will be that the iPod Classic doesn't support Apple's music

    I'll be disappointed if I can't do it. Pay £15 a month for music from Apple, but not being is not able to use my iPod Classic in the car with her will suck...

    Well, it's more fundamental than that... iPod classic doesn't have an Internet connection, so there is no way to access your music to iCloud library.  And it does not support downloads of music by Apple (song subscribed files you can download Music from Apple), because it can not verify your subscription (no Internet connection) as required by the content producers.  only iPod that can play songs music from Apple's iPod touch, because it is an iOS with Internet, like the iPhone and the iPad device.

  • Why are my ineligible tracks for iCloud music library?

    Recently, I turned on the Apple music on my Mac and turned on iCloud music library. Most of my songs have been downloaded without problem, but there were some, including some of my favorite pieces, which is apparently not eligible for the cloud.

    These songs are songs that I bought years ago while they are protected AAC audio files and I bought the on another Apple ID as I used to share one with a family member before me to be my own. However, my laptop is allowed to play the songs of this ID, and there were many other tracks protected in my library bought with other Apple ID, that have been matched / downloaded without any problem.

    In addition, all tracks are 128 Kbps, so that they are in the range of quality to download. None is more than 200 MB, so the file size is not the issue.

    All tracks are still currently available on the iTunes Store and Apple's music catalog.

    Is there another reason they might be inadmissible? And, if so, is there a way to solve this problem and download them to my music library to iCloud?

    Hello

    I own a small number of titles that I could not be upgraded. While some of the songs where still in the iTunes Store, they have been republished on / remastered versions of the same album.

    I suggest you burn these tracks on an audio cd and rerip them. You can get a match.

  • iCloud question library.

    Hello

    I have an iPad Mini 4 and normally use iCloud photo library. Unfortunately, I screwed up, (entirely my fault) and off iCloud library. All the pictures remained on my iPad, and before I have next turn to, I want to assure you that my iPad won't try to load all the pictures to the library to iCloud and so end up with a lot of duplicates.

    Otherwise, I can delete all photos from my iPad at once and then only switch iCloud library back on and download everything. I have a 128 GB so have lots of storage.

    Thank you people!

    Same yet different, I just went through this. Remove None of the iPad and then turn the iCloud photo library. ICloud both unit will perfectly sort information.

  • iCloud music library

    I wanted to remove some songs from my phone to get more space, but to do this, I had to remove the musical library of iCloud option and manually select the music I want on my phone. But in doing so, I can not record songs when I active apple music subscription. So, I turned on the music library to icloud and the music I wanted to remove first is back on my phone and the songs saved the subscription of apple's music have disappeared. My question is: how to remove music from the music library to icloud? Thank you for your understanding.

    Dorut Hello,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I understand not wanting to manage your music and create space on your iPhone. These articles will help you to manage your music and create more space on your iPhone.

    Delete songs and video clips from your music library to iCloud

    In the next article, there is a section to remove the content manually. I also highlighted the steps below the link.

    If you need more space for an iOS update

    In the settings menu to use, you can see how much space your apps use and delete those you don't need. You can always re - download your purchased applications or any content later. Follow these steps:

    1. Tap Settings > general > storage & use iCloud > storage management.
    2. Select any application to see how much space it uses and tap Delete App to remove it. Some applications, such as music and videos, allow you to remove parts of their documents and data.

  • ICloud disabled library... Photos remain on iPhone?

    I gave you upward on iCloud library, at least for now. I decided to disable iCloud library on all of my devices. In doing so, I noticed that my iPhone which, once fully synchronized with iCloud library has more than 40,000 objects display now only 11 360 items. Although it is possible, I think not that I am using iCloud library long enough for power than a lot of photos on my iPhone only. As far as I know, all of these are in my main OS X photo library. I went to try and import items in OS X Photos and it says simply "no photos." I tried to import picture Capture and after spinning for 5 minutes about, he gave no results.

    Any thoughts on this one? Thanks in advance!

    Wwhen you have enabled iCloud photo library on your Mac and your iDevices, images of all devices were copied to iCloud and then synchronized to them. If your setting was to keep the local library optimized devices, most of what you saw was likely just small thumbnails. If you had your main photo library on your Mac optimized, change the setting of pref in original copy for Mac. Let all the images in full resolution download for Mac before switching iCloud library Photo OFF.

  • "iCloud music library can be unlocked -" iPhone 6 - iOS 9.3.1

    Hi all

    I had podcast download questions ("Unable to download the podcast" on the iPhone 6 - iOS 9.3.1) which extended unable to download songs from Apple's music for offline use. Spend a lot of time in airplanes that becomes really lonely and boring.

    But today my problems reached another milestone, that will not just be my library of music iCloud cooperate more. He took himself in the menu settings/music and I cannot turn it back on, get the error "iCloud music library can not be activated. You can activate it later Music settings. So far, your music is not available on other devices.

    Since I can't add music in my library for quick research, I can't download anything for offline use, etc. Extremely annoying with all the flights I do.

    I restored my phone from an old backup (2 months) for good measure, but no luck.

    Any idea?

    Try this

    Settings > general > reset > reset all settings

  • Cannot be deactivated iCloud music library

    As the title says, I want to disable iCloud library iTunes music on my PC, but cannot do so.  I have absolutely no interest in using iCloud library and I'm sick of it telling me that my session has expired and asking me to connect whenever I run iTunes.

    After a decent chunk of time trying to understand what point, I found a lot of posts in line to turn it off I just have to go in the General preferences and uncheck the option that is just below "See Apple Music."  The problem is that I don't have this option.  Its literally not there.

    I guess that what has happened is that all of these messages refer to older versions of iTunes and everything what reason, this option has been removed in the subsequent updates.  If this is the case, please tell me that there is another way to disable iCloud music library.

    So I just kept going in the rabbit hole of apple support pages and eventually find the solution.

    https://discussions.Apple.com/message/29278770#29278770

    I forgot to mention, but I've never used iCloud music library or Apple's music, so I could not understand why he said my "session expired" when I never started a session at first.  And maybe that's why the option turn off never showed up in my preferences.

    The fact that the solution was simply to signout, restart iTunes and then reconnect you makes me think it must be a bug.  And because of the ridiculous difficulty, I had to find a solution its a particularly frustrating bug.

    I hope that this issue helps someone else who takes care of this *.
