Import photos to Mac and not to resume storage iCloud

Hello

I recently bought my first computer Apple (MacBook Pro).

I have (approximately) 4 GB of photos stored on Google Photos I thought to download on my MacBook Pro.

Is there a way to download these pictures on my MacBook without taking up valuable storage iCloud, which I realize would mean that they are not visible on my other Apple devices.

I know that I could increase my iCloud storage capacities by buying more storage, but I thought I'd ask anyway...

Thank you very much

Tom

Two possibilities:

Download them to your Mac, but don't import them into the Photos on your Mac application.

or

import them into a second photo library and ensure that he is not the one designated as the photo library of the system:

  • Accounts iCloud duplicate not appearing in the Contacts on my Mac and I only have an iCloud account.

    Accounts iCloud duplicate not appearing in the Contacts on my Mac and I only have an iCloud account. That's why I duplicate contacts. I went though the routine was suggested to merge duplicates, but it never finds any merger of duplicates. This problem was supposedly degenerated to the genius of Apple about two weeks ago, but I have received no updates since. Any suggestions?

    12 elements makes the pictures for images in full resolution after importation and use. In your case, what is the size of the files you are importing. Once the files have been imported, can you please check their resolution from the 'Information' section on the right side, or "View file information" option on the right click context menu.

    Original title: importing Photos from phone

    I took some photos of my son's birthday with my phone and used the highest resolution for a clearer picture.  Now I tried to import pictures into my computer and the pictures looks OK in the album, but when I click on the photo, the part of it is missing.  Any suggestions on how I can remedy this.   I didn't know that if you took a photo of high resolution it will not download correctly.

    Hi David1116,

    (1) what application you use to see all the photos?

  • Import photos, but they do not show in the library

    I use Lightroom 2.7.  Until today, the import function worked fine.  I added two pictures my D700 RAW (NEF) files to my

    hard drive and even today, when I imported into Lightroom, they seemed to be imported, but folder names do not appear in the library of files list.  The only way I see pictures is in the list "recently changed" even if they have not been changed recently.  So if I want to treat one of them, I can't find them.  I tried to import a second time, but it made no difference.  Anyone got any suggestions?

    Charlie

    If you have added metadata to import, they will show also recently updated the. Try looking at the metadata of a file by using the quick preset describe. One of the fields is the folder, click the arrow next to him to go to the file of the folder is in.

  • How is storage in 'about my Mac' does not match the storage in my files?

    Currently, my mac says that my storage is almost full. When I go to the storage of 'about my mac' section it says I 42.5 GB of photos, but when I click on 'get info' on my photo files it says I have only 6,92 GB of photos, and I make sure to remove as many pictures as possible from iPhoto and put it on an external hard drive to save space. He also says, that I have 17 GB of movies on my mac, when I have only about 6 GB in iTunes. In addition, what is the 'other' section of storage? He says I have 43.2 GB of 'other', and not knowing what it is that I have no idea of what I need to remove to have more space. It's very frustrating, and it boggles my mind I can't find an answer to this on the apple forums yet. All I can think is that Apple must be copy my files and storing elsewhere, so use all the space on my mac. If anyone can tell me how to manage this problem, it would be much appreciated.

    Thank you.

  • import photos for mac

    Pictures import no more after the "revaluation" iOS 9.3.5

    that is, the steps do not occur

    1. On your Mac, the Photos app automatically opens. If not, open the Photos app.
    2. The Photos app shows a screen of import with all photos and videos that can be found on the connected device. If the import screen does not automatically appear, click the Import tab at the top of the Photos app, or click on the name of the device in the sidebar of Photos.

    When you try to import from?  A camera or a card or a mobile device, that is to say the iPhone or iPad?

    Photo shows only the import Panel, if there are pictures on the device, which are recignized photos.  The Image Capture.app sees the photos?

    If you try to import from an iPhone or an iPad - iTunes recognizes the device?

  • After importing Photos, some iPhoto does not

    I went of Photos and most of my fact iPhoto library the passage.  However, there are months of imports which do not have.  Apparently at random.

    Looking at my HD on OmniDiskSweeper space, my iPhoto library clocks to 173 GB and my Photos library is 163.5 GB.

    I'm looking to switch to a new Macbook Pro with the solid state drive and in order to not have stuff in double clogging the SSD with GB of data, I would only transfer the files once, preferably in the photo library.

    So the question is, how can ensure me that all photos in both libraries are placed in a

    best way to start both and check the photo count

    Why exactly do you think that a few months has not transferred?

    The total size of library is not a way to check - there is no hope that they will be the same

  • Import photos no problem can not see the photos on iPhone

    I upgraded my MacBook Pro to El Capitan.  Since moving from iPhoto to Photos (even before I updated the operating system) when I plug my iPhone 5 to import pictures in the selected library I do not see the photos appear in the import window so that I can select for imports.  I literally had to email it to myself, and then import it into the e-mail.  I work with different libraries within pictures, so I excluded it only love the library system.  Same result, can not see the photos.  Also, I have unplugged and replugged in and tried the other USB port to rule out hardware, while the Photos could force them to see the device as new, and that does not work either.  I tried something another user who had to open Image Capture to see if she could see all the pictures on my phone and it doesn't work, I found (theory was that opening would make Photos recognize as well).  However the Image Capture wouldn't add a USB scanner so I think it's not worthy of trust.  Photos only setting I have enabled is the automatic update to iCloud.  Otherwise, I don't know what another parameter to seek that could block it.

    When the phone is connected USB the phone reboot - many have found this will clear this problem
