Keep the photos in iCloud

Is there an easy way to keep photos in iCloud library without having to keep them on your device? Right now, if I take a picture, he transferred to iCloud. But, if I want to empty space on my device, remove this picture erase all of my devices including iCloud. I'm just curious to know if there is a way to have everything that I want to stay there all by allowing me to delete photos on my devices. Now, my only option is to download all photos on my Mac, but I would use iCloud if possible.

Thanks in advance!

To reduce local storage on your iDevice set Photos settings to keep a local library optimized.

iCloud photo library is a service of synchronization between all your computers and devices. It is not an off-site storage or backup service.

    You cannot store pictures on iCloud and remove them from your device. Remove them on the phone also icloud removes them. You can set for storage optimized on your device that compresses the resolution of the device stored photos, keep the originals in iCloud.

    If you want to be able to todelete pictures from your phone and store them elsewhere, you must use subscription such as Dropbox cloud storage or store them on your computer.

  • Mediathek photo: A way to keep the Photos on Photos.app when you want to remove them on the iPhone?

    I understand the concept of the Mediathek Photo.

    The goal is to keep the Photos on different places for example iPhone, iCloud and synchronized Macbook.

    Automatically.

    Because the volume of data on my iPhone is not very large, sometimes I have to delete the photos.

    Is it possible to prevent these pictures from beeing deleted on the Macbook?

    Or do I have to completely give up the automatic transfer of photos only?

    In my mind, I think of a kind of function of archive for Photos.app.

    A flag that prevents pictures archived the synchronization beeing part.

    Can you give me an opinion please?

    Thank you.

    Photo library of iCloud will synchronize the full library of Photos.   If you remove a photo from the library on a device, it will be removed from all libraries in snced on other devices.

    One way to synchronize on a selective basis would be to have more than one library of Photos on the MacBook. A library of synchronization iCloud Wavec with only the photos you want on your iPhone.  And a library with other photos that you don't want in iCloud.  See this help page on the use of several libraries: https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/?lang=en#/pht6d60b524

    Another approach would be to use "Optimize storage" on the iPhone.  Then the photos will be optimized smaller photos on the iPhone store and more pictures will be fit.

  • When I create a photo album, how can I keep the photos to reorganize when I move it?

    I create a photo album and I move them in the order I want them.  But when I move the album to a flash drive or yet another album, they reorganize in a different order, probably by date.  How can I keep them in the same order?

    You are missing that the files have no order - the order is provided by the spectator

    In an album, the order is provided by the kind you choose photo - on a flash drive the order comes from the look at a program that on a Mac, is usually the finder - with the finder you can life files in many different ways dont par nom, date de creation by name, date created, date modified, size, etc, etc.

    So life files in a specific order, you must set the correct settings for the files and then set the viewing program correctly - the best way to see the photos in a specific order is to export (File menu ==> export) using the name sequential option, then view them by title

  • Can not see the photo of icloud on iMac

    Goodday!

    For a while, I have a problem when you try to view the picture on my iMac that were made with my iPhone or iPad.

    Photo of what I do with my iPhone stream nicely to icloud and I can almost immediately see on my other devices (iPad etc.). Only on my iMac, they appear as empty photocadres with a symbol of cloud in them. No matter how long wait I won't see the picture. In the right hand corner there is a quarter circle display or one! who says that something was wrong during the download.  I have a lot of space on my icloud account and it works fine on my mobile but not on the iMac.

    iMac: El Captain 10.11.2, mobile OS: iOS 9.2. All the updates made on all devices.

    Someone has any idea how to solve this problem?

    Thank you!

    Hello h.j.e.,.

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

    From your question, it seems that you use iCloud photo library on your devices. Photos taken on your iPhone or iPad will appear on your devices and iCloud site, but you do not see these photos on your Mac. I understand also that you see an error that says something failed during download.

    To resolve this situation, I would recommend using the photo library repair tool. This will new update all content library with iCloud when the repair process is complete.

  • Drag the photos to iCloud by car and in the photo library

    I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 on a MacBook Air to 2015 and a Mini Retina Display iPad running iOS 9.0.2.

    I have a lot of pictures, registered in several different folders, that is currently in my iCloud drive. I want to reduce the amount of storage space, I use icloud drive. But I still want to be able to view these pictures on both my MacBook Air, as well as on my iPad Mini.

    So I thought I would create a number of Albums in the photo library to match with the folder names that I use in iCloud Drive and drag the folders of photos in these Albums in the photo library.

    But it does not seem possible to drag the iCloud library photos in the photo library? It doesn't make a difference if I try and do slip into the same window of Finder, or if I open two Finder Windows and try dragging from one to the other (I don't know what's the difference - if any - between dragging items in a Finder window and pulling them from a window of the Finder to the other?)

    How can I do this?

    Anyone who responds to this, thank you very much and I wish you a Merry Christmas.

    You can open the Photos on your Mac app and drag them from iCloud drive in the Finder in the Photos app. The other method is to use the file import Photos app menu.

  • Save the photos on icloud and eliminate the ios device

    I have a lot of photos on my iPhone. I want to delete them and they are stored in iCloud. But when I delete a photo on the iPhone, it removes also iCloud.

    Is it possible to have all photos in iCloud without deleting?

    As OneDrive app, they don't synchronize and store pictures of the iPhone, and if I delete a picture they do not remove on the cloud.

    Is it possible to have all photos in iCloud without deleting?

    When you delete them from your phone, they will remove icloud. Try going to settings/iCloud and optimize storage. This will reduce the space that take photos.

  • Why iOS occasionally devices need to reload all of the Photos in iCloud?

    We have about 11 thousand photos, shared (sync) among the six Apple devices: 2 MBPs, two iPads and two iPhones. Occasionally, and in response to any event, I'm not sure, choose one of the iOS devices to transfer all his photos on iCloud before getting back in harmony with everyone. Very frustrating. NB., all devices are scrupulously kept to the most recent version of all software. and of course for this many pix we pay for extra storage iCloud. It could also be noted, devices are put in place to contain full originals, not optimized pix. Is there something I can do to avoid these hassles?

    This can occur when the software is updated.

  • How can I keep the photo files id3 tagging? (And video files?)

    Hello.

    This question is about id3 tagging files photo (and video?). Probably, it revolves around managing the media too.

    I have tif and jpg files that I took of the old and the new point and shoot cameras. What I'm trying to do, is to have jpg and tif of the originals. Make some changes and have a jpg and tif amendment. So I have 4 files for each image (2 independent is the original and 2 Edition). I want a lossy and lossless for each file.

    I've bothered to fill out somethings in the id3 tagging. When I tried some changes in batches to get the files, id3 tags was empty.

    I use Windows XP SP3 Home Edition 32-bit. I tried to use FormatFactory to an export batch. I use Corel PaintShop Photo Pro X 3 also, who gave the same results.

    In Windows XP: I right click on the file, the Properties tab, I think it's the details. In my view, title, author, subject, keywords, comments. It's the id3 tagging which not copied.

    When I right click and COPY a file, it keeps the id3 tags.

    I really think there's a way to deal with this. Anyone use? Nobody cares? Need scripts and a certain program? I don't think that I would have to pay for it. How professionals and more or less experienced people do it?

    I don't want a markup that is recognized by some programs. I can do that already, but it is too advantageous. I won't tag id3 4 times. I don't want a watermark.

    Are the methods or rules identical for Win Vista, Win7 or Win8? I have 32-bit and 64-bit Vista Home Premium, but have not tried it on there. I have to start the migration of files again. Vista is choose with id3 tagging anyway from what I tried. I keep said that Win7 is similar or the same.

    I thank you very much.

    A place to start...

    When a photo is copied... a new version of the file is created.
    During this process, some software will remove metadata
    in the file properties.

    The only insurance that I can think of would be to make a backup of the
    metadata, then restore the metadata if it is deleted.

    The following freeware has not been updated in a long time, but is
    a proven method to backup metadata.  Also the site
    suggests other alternatives.

  • Media browser does not show most of the photos under iCloud photo library

    I use iCloud photo library. I have 50 GB of space to iCloud, and I use only 17. My camera has 2.2 GB of free local space. And yet, when I save photos, their local copies are removed almost immediately. This means that the media browser (UIImagePickerController) does not display these photos. On my iPad, the only pictures presented are two screenshots, I took on my phone in August.

    Furthermore, on my iPad Photos shows as taking 1.0 GB, while the same library resumes 7.0 GB on my phone. Both devices are devices in 32 GB with 2 + GB of free space, but this problem is present on my iPad.

    Forgive me, but what is UIImagePickerController?
