Moved from my library of Photos to iCloud by car and now the pictures will not open it...

I thought being smart and transfer my library of Photos to iCloud by car so I can access all my devices, but now the pictures won't open it. I hold down the Option key when starting the Photos and told to open the library moved in my world of iCloud drive. He complains about the library in an incompatible format (or something similar). If I move just back off iCloud drive to any where in my regular Finder file system then pictures is perfectly fine opening of the library. What the heck! Anyone know what is happening or that seemingly obvious thing does not work why?

Yes... I think the library should be 'local' to your Mac. It can live on a USB key and maybe even a network drive, but I do not expect any level of performance with her on the cloud. If you think you can avoid to keep your phone synchronized with iCloud and still have access to all of your library, it won't work.

Apple don't tell you not to do it, but they said this without mentioning iCloud drive...

  • 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.

  • How to create the new library of Photos to iCloud without it merging with the former?

    I started my iCPL in January 2015. It is now 104 Gb/8000 photos. In a year I need to upgrade my plan of storage iCloud.

    So I think I would make the existing one a regular photo library, and start a new photo library iCloud.

    If I start a new library now and make the iCPL, merge it with the existing iCPL. I want to replace the existing in iCloud.

    I could do (I think): -.

    1. make the existing a non-iCPL and rename it.

    2. create a new lib Photos and make the library system iCloud.

    3. the new library (empty) will download and merge with the former in iCloud, so it contains now 8000 photos of the original lib.

    4. delete all the 8000 photos in the new.

    5. start put new photos in the photo library now empty iCloud.

    Is there a better way? I do it too difficult?

    I can see what I've described above taking a long time to settle on all devices, even if I can avoid 30 day waiting by removing the deleted record recently.

    Thank you

    You use "Optimize Mac Storage" on your Mac? Then, you will need to make sure that all the photos to download to your Mac before you copy your current library corresponding to your backup disk and start deleting iCloud.  Is there enough free storage on your Mac to do this?

    I would also like to than my thin iCloud library. My iCloud library has only my favorite photos of many years, I want on all my devices as well as the most recent photos that I'm still trying. Because the iCloud library must be the library system, only in iCloud library photos are available in the media for other applications browser, so I keep all the photos here that I can use in other applications.

    What I do to save bandwidth and download time is to have two libraries:

    1. A large library where I keep all the photos I want to keep - it's my photo archives. This library is on an external drive that is supported by Time Machine and is currently still an Aperture library.
    2. A smaller library iCloud in my pictures folder.

    I import new photos first to the iCloud library, remove all the bad moves that do not need archiving, then I export the originals at the library of the archives.

    And then I start editing the photos in the library to iCloud and learn by removing and keeping only the best photos.

  • The visible but the pictures can not open the photo in "Photos".

    I just realized that some of my photos are visible as thumbnails on my Mac, but I can't double click to view. Just a blank screen. Most of them seem to be more old photos, but it seems fairly random. I am under the last El Capitan, and all software are up to date. I ran a repair on the library, and nothing has changed.

    Suggestions?

    Thank you

    What has changed since things worked? Do you have 'cleaned' your disk by removing pictures using the finder or nasty as CleanMyMac or MacKeeper software (never do this)?

  • Why the html file that I downloaded from the internet will not open in Dreamweaver?

    I tested other pages to index and their linked pages and they opened in Dreamweaver.  I applied the same steps to this file, but it still not open.  All of this linked pages / index associated is open in Dreamweaver, but not the index page itself.  When I double click on the index.html file, it opens in the browser and the links work.  If the file is damaged in any way can it be repaired?  I checked the index.css file, but I see nothing wrong with it yet.  Can the html or css file contain code that prevents the files open in Dreamweaver, and yet still be opened in a browser?

    Of course, you have all the support files.

  • Photos will not open the iPhoto on an external drive, already "migrated" library

    I moved my iPhoto to an external drive library, updated, then "migrated" photo library with the drive connected. Once I opened the Photos without the drive connected, and there is a library 'Photos' of 9 seemingly random photos. Now, the pictures will not open the old library with the drive connected. Is there a way to change the pictures in the library accesses?

    Here's the disclaimer that I get: the contents of the iPhoto 'iPhoto Library' library has already migrated to the Photos.  Open the Photos to display your library or use a compatible version of iPhoto to open the iPhoto library.

    (But it does not open the library on the external hard drive).

  • How to manage a large library of Photos with iCloud

    I have an iMac with a 1 TB drive. El Capitan.

    I have a library of Photos that is 450 GB.

    I use NOT currently in iCloud photo library.

    Library to backup to external hard drive.

    I would switch to 500 GB SSD drive, so I need to cut the pictures library to adapt.

    I tried to read as much information, but I'm still not clear on some points.

    Hard to test on the great library.

    Traverse and the cleaning of a large library of Photo are your time, I'm looking for less than hands on options.

    My thought:

    1. upgrade to iCloud 1 TB storage Plan

    2. turn on iCloud photo library (original leave) and wait a few days/weeks/months to the great library to synchronize with iCloud.

    3. turn on iCloud photo library (optimized) on iPhone and iPad to synchronize all libraries and get all the originals to iCloud and then the iMac

    Q1. How much space will be a large library as it takes on an iOS device. I'm afraid that even an optimized library will fill 64 GB device.

    (I know that's dependent on media, but just looking for a guideline for iOS, I think OS X is 9to1)

    4. once everything is synchronized, copy the photo library in DHM (properly formatted) as a backup.

    5. start the on EHD photo library to ensure the proper functioning.

    6. allow photo library on iMac as the synchronized library. Don't want to keep always connected DHM.

    7 change library Photos optimized on the computer and let the full synchronization.

    This should give me a library optimized on the iMac and a complete library on the EHD.

    However, since the EHD are not the Central Library for iCloud synchronization, it will remain not being updated.

    Q2. Can I create another user account on the iMac with my iCloud settings and using EHD originals full as the main library?

    That would allow me to periodically plug JEP, throw the other user account and let pictures synchronize updates and get new originals.

    This would be mainly used as a backup plan, so I rely not only on iCloud himself.

    Is this a reasonable plan or I'm far from base.

    Kind regards

    Q1. How much space will be a large library as it takes on an iOS device. I'm afraid that even an optimized library will fill 64 GB device.

    (I know that's dependent on media, but just looking for a guideline for iOS, I think OS X is 9to1)

    My library has only about 200 GB on the Mac, with 40000 photos, but it's horrible on the iPad in an optimized version. Size is fine, he has been reduced to about 10% of its original size, but work with Photos is a pain, if each photo is just a fuzzy image and needs icloud download to view properly. Sometimes it takes a minute or more to recover the photo, so it is impossible to browse photos or making a slide show.  On the iPad, I returned to sync with iTunes, the albums selected. On the iPhone, it's not so bad, because the screen is smaller, and blurring is tolerable.

    Q2. Can I create another user account on the iMac with my iCloud settings and using EHD originals full as the main library?

    You can do it from your normal user account. Alternate between libraries and to the iCloud photo library on the external drive.

    It will be easier than permission risk issues when you access a library of two different user accounts.

    If you want to reduce the size of the internal Player library quickly, remove the library on internally, after that you are sure that the copy on the external hard drive is working properly.  Create a new library on the internal disk and make your iCloud Photo Library., optimized. The library will download in an optimized way and be much smaller to begin with.

  • Can I delete all my photos from iPhone camera roll without having to remove them from my library of Photos?

    I activated for my photos to iCloud and imported all my photos from my iPhone in my library of Photos. Now, I want to erase my Album of pictures of my iPhone because I have too many pictures on my iPhone (4,000). I'm nervous to delete all my photos because I fear somehow iCloud will synchronize the deletion of my iPhone with my library of Photos... is this the case? Or are my photos safe as soon as they are in my photo library?

    Basically, I want to erase all the pictures on my iPhone but I want to make sure that they will always remain in my photo library.

    Yes, if you delete the photos in the Photos of your iPhone app will remove also them to iCloud. You must export them from your photo library into folders or another photo management application.

  • Photos will not open the iPhoto library.

    Hello world.

    I try to open an existing iPhoto library that I register before I migrated to this new Mac Pro desktop, but the new Photos app it will not open. It gives me an error message and then I see a blank screen of Photos.

    How can I convert this iPhotos Photos library and why is - it doesn't happen automatically?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    It gives me an error message and then I see a blank screen of Photos.

    What is the error message?  And where is your old iPhoto Library stored?

    If you try to open the library on an external drive, make sure that the drive is compatible.  The player must be in Mac OS extended (journaled) format and should not be used by Time Machine.
