• iCloud photo library and FIRST photos in iOS

  I would like to enable capture of RAW files in iOS 10. I have a 256 GB 7 iPhone +, but at 30 MB per DNG, storage will be used quickly if I don't get the photos on the phone regularly.

  It is true that I am still unclear on iCloud photo library works. I activated on my iPhone, but I think it means it stores the photos on the phone and also downloads in the cloud?

  If I had to come home every day and transfer the DNG on my Mac and remove them from my phone, I assume that they will have is no longer a storage space on my phone, but would take place in iCloud if they were downloaded before I moved out of my phone?

  Looks like I should cut iCloud photo library if I am shooting RAW, since I would like to download very large photos that I don't necessarily want to keep?

  iCloud is a synchronisation/mirroring service and not a traditional cloud solution based.  If you are looking for a more traditional based cloud solution, then consider using an application third, for example Dropbox, Flickr or Google Photos.

• How can I make iOS rescan my photo library, searching for old memories?

  When I used iOS 10 beta publice photos do a scan on my photo library in the background. Then I went back to iOS 9.3.2 after that I installed iOS 10 once the same memories where it so I deleted them in DSB to make the photo scan my photo library app once, but since no other analysis was conducted by the application (except the new added pictures). So, what can I do? My memories are lost forever?

  Probably before you started playing with the beta version before you did these multiple deletes and installs, you checked all your photos on your computer, but also backed up all important data?

  If you were using iCloud, when you deleted the photos on the device, you also erased them in iCloud. No photo of iCloud offer service offline archiving permanent photos. If you delete a photo (or any data icloud synchronized) on the device, remove yourself from iCloud.

  As long as backup you and archive your photos elsewhere, you can restore them comes from there.

• iCloud photo library and the problems of local storage of iOS

  I have iCloud library lit with iPhone active storage optimization. However, I still have more than 1 GB of space being taken up locally on my iOS. If all my photos that I take on iOS are automatically sent to iCloud for storing, why is there such a big mark always on my phone locally? If I try to remove my iOS device photos, I am prompted with a message indicating that this photo is deleted from all devices and iCloud. Is it possible to have all your photos sent to iCloud and then removed from your iOS device?

  You need to keep them on the device, or they will be deleted to iCloud. Optimization occurs according to the needs, not all at once.

• 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

• Photo library on mac was emissions additional no duplicated and then imported into Lightroom 6 PROBLEM: all duplicates appear (capitan OSX). Help me with this please!

  I imported all my photos in photo library on macbook OSX capitan. The photos were additional emissions not duplicated using power foto and gemini. This in the photo library. After checking, I have 48,000 photos, 80,000 duplicted >. After that completely eliminate the unwanted duplicate photos I import to LR6 by drag and drop the trump card in the library. Then all photos, including the deleted ones appear.

  Any solution or another way to import? photo for mac contains all my data being sought.

  This file did you import into Lr?

  And I would say you will find the duplicate in Lr, note the file name and then search the photo library to see if you have multiple instances of this photo. You cannot use Spotlight; you will need to use another utility like find easy.

  But you are right; If you have deleted them permanently from the "recently deleted" album they should be in the trash; you could confirm that as well.

  And use 'Show in Finder' alleged images duplicated in Lr to see where the copy is stored; that should also give you an idea of why it did not work.

• Photo library - iCloud how to remove duplicates

  All, someone knows something about OSX/IOS 'Photos' app will detect and remove duplicates photo9?  My library 'Photos' 63 299 photos & videos of 2135 from may 2016 and at least 10,000 + of these photos are duplicates (based on an analysis of Photosweeper). I have checked the results of the analysis of Photosweeper by doing a manual visual comparison and check images original in iphoto library (using the function location of show) and confirmed that these 10 000 + photos are images duplicate identical with names of different files in different parts of the photo library database.

  So what is happening and how to stop 10-15% of my picture library being duplicate files! I will raise this directly with the apple support payment for the 1 TB icloud service to cover my very large library 'Photos', which should probably be just a large Photo library!

  A few other comments for those who have a double problem:

  -L' old iPhoto application used to "detect duplicates" when import but the new application 'Photos' does not. Anyone know about this?

  -J' saw the documentation from apple saying the icloud search duplicates in 'Photos' when in the icloud, but clearly not work or it does not work if duplicates exist also in the version of the imac to the library 'Photos '.

  -Beware of apps that claim to find 'photos' duplicate and are recommended on various Internet sites, a number of them don't work with the old iphotos app the new application 'Photos' (I discovered after you pay and download). If you need a remover of duplicates of photos that work with 'Photos' review and stay away from any application that do not specify clearly and explicitly he works with "photos" and has been seen since the release of the Photos app.

  + I paid $10 for "Gemini" dual Finder and has been a complete waste of time that didn't work only not with the "Photos" application (it wasn't not clear documentation or support, and when I trigger it supported by Macpaw that they said gemini does not support photos and told me to buy another app macpaw - I told them to go jump in a Lake).

  + I found very good Photosweeper that you can set to match exact or variable (for example photos of accidental burst which are 99.99% identical but 0,1s collapse) and then you can right click to view original file / image in the library to manually check duplicate (if you are paranoid like me) - there are many other paid apps that also make this store then around

  Photos detects duplicates when you import pictures and when you synchronize with ICPL

  Photos does not analyse the duplicates, but checks for them during import and download of IPCL

  There are a few duplicate programs that are tested as safe with Photos, including PowerPhotos, PhotoSweeper for the pictures and Duplicate Annihilator for Photos - do not use a tested and documented as safe\

  And I'm not clear what your post is about since you are asking how to find duplicates and then provide a good answer - photoSweeper - it is one of the safe and effective ways to remove duplicates for Photos

• How can I sync my iPhone to my OSX photos Photos?

  I just spent hours to organize my Photos of OSX and want to sync my iPhone for exactly the same pictures. Is it possible without having to remove photos from the iPhone one as well.

  El Capitan 10.11.2 OSX

  MacBook Pro (retina, 15 inches, end of 2013)

  2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 processor

  16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory

  Start drive Macintosh HD

  NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB graphics

  Photos:

  Version 1.3 (350.23.0)

  Digital camera RAW 6.18 (828)

  Digital Camera Support RAW 6180 (204)

  iOS:

  iOS 9.2

  I don't know what you want to do?

  1. You want to transfer photos from your iPhone to your Mac?
  2. Or you want to synchronize devices - have libraries of same Photos on your iPhone and your Mac?
  • You want to transfer photos from your iPhone connect to your Mac via a USB port and import all photos back to your Photos Libtary. Then add the new photos imported into your other albums from the album 'A' recently imported.  You can also activate my photo stream on the Mac and your iPhone to automatically download all the photos again.
  • If you want to sync the iPhone with the Mac and have libraries of identical Photos, sign up for storage iCloud enpugh hold all your Photos and then activate iCloud photo library on your Mac and your iPhone.   See;  iCloud Photo library FAQ
    In this way, the libraries of Photos on your Mac and iPhone will be kept in sync. Any photo that you add to a library will appear in the other. Any photo that you remove a unit is removed from the other device as well. You need to activate "Optimize storage" on the iPhone, if storage is not enough to contain all the photos.

• Some basic questions please about iCloud photo library

  I am today store all my photos locally in my iOS and OSX devices.

  In addition, I use time machine and cloud CrashPlan backup.

  Recommend using iCloud library instead of my present meanneging photo?

  IN the affirmative. When turning on photo library from iCloud, it will replace the unlimited lacal automattecly?

  Thank you.

  1. using iCloud photo library or not it is a personal decision - nobody else can do it for you - my personal choice is to use it for a small library, keeping a larger separate library and the use of PowerPhotos to move photos between libraries that I find that the best compromise between cost and the connivance to me - you and others can find some better implemented

  2. so far nobody has restored successfully a library of Photos CrashPlan form then I suggest that not rely you on it for a backup - and ICPL is not a backup, is a way to share your library among multiple devices

  3 / ICPL-turning will not replace the photos - it merges your libraries in a library that is exactly the same on all devices and is related any modification on any device is made on all

• 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.

• 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?

• Photos on macOS Sierra: Album of peoples does not synchronize with iCloud photo library

  Using Photos has just been updated for Sierra, and we finally have it in writing:

  https://help.Apple.com/photos/Mac/1.2/?lang=en#/phtf5e48489c

  Note: Persons identified in the album people are not synchronized between devices.

  And as far as I know, it really does not synchronize between my libraries of Photos on the MacBook Pro and my iMac.

  It's different in the 10 user guide iOS for the iPhone and iPad:

  http://help.Apple.com/iPhone/10/#/iph9c7ee918c

  People are synchronized between devices where you are connected with the same Apple ID.

  I wonder how this is supposed to work, if a Mac and iPhone are synchronized with iCloud User Library.

  None of the faces that I named on my iPhone did sync it with my Mac.

  Another indication that the lack of synchronization of the people and names is deliberate:

  This document has now also been updated:

  Use iCloud photo library on several Mac - Apple Support computers and Photos

  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT204486

  After have connected you, these items appear in the Photos app on all your Mac computers:

  • All photos and original videos
  • All folders and albums
  • Smart albums
  • Keywords
  • Memories
  • Key photo selections

  He used to say, tags searchable faces will perform synchronization between devices, but the tags are more is mentioned. Now we have the 'memories' instead.

• Archives photo library of iCloud?

  When I take pictures on my iPhone, my ideal process would be:

  (1) pix from the phone go to iCloud

  (2) pix to iCloud downloaded the photos on my Mac

  3) once on my Mac, pix never get deleted photos except if I explicitly

  In other words, the CMA should be archiving, and I should be able to remove the pictures from the phone and iCloud without deleting the Mac.

  In practice, #1 and #2 work fine. Problem is that if I delete a photo on the phone, it disappears from my Mac as well.

  I can't find a way to keep these photos on my Mac, short export files of Photos. Surely, there must be a better way?

  Note that I don't have the parameter 'Download the originals of this Mac' is enabled in settings iCloud in Photos. This does not seem to prevent the deleted, however the pictures.

  I use OS X 10.11.6 and iOS 9.3.5.

  In practice, #1 and #2 work fine. Problem is that if I delete a photo on the phone, it disappears from my Mac as well.

  That's because iCloud photo library is designed for synchronization, not as an external storage, as your probably know. New photos imported from any device download to iCloud photo library as the centralized storage. Modifications and changes to the photos of any device will synchronize to iCloud and updated on all devices, including the removal of the pictures. iCloud Library maintains library on all identical devices.

  I can't find a way to keep these photos on my Mac, short export files of Photos. Surely, there must be a better way?

  For your desired workflow, Thomas, I recommend to create a second photo library on your Mac, your Photos of Archive library, which is not synchronized with iCloud.

  Let the synchronization of photos from iPhone to your iCloud photo library and upload to the library on your Mac that is synchronized with iCloud. Then transfer them to your library Archive by export and re-import.  Or invest in pictures of power for easy transfer photos between libraries of Photos.

  The alternative, which recommends Apple, is to abstain from remove photos from iOS devices and use the "Optimize storage" option on the iPhone.  Keep your comprehensive library on the iPhone optimized version.

  I have used this approach for a few months. My iPhone and iPad have 64 GB of storage, and that worked somehow, but is a pain, because we cannot control which photos will get 'optimized '. It's a pain, if I want to create a slide show and pictures are underway in iCloud only Internet available.

  I switched back to my photo stream to download new photos from my iPhone and disabled iCloud photo library on my iOS devices, I'm only using iCloud photo library to keep Macs in sync.
