• Cancel Icloud photo storage and process to not lose the photos?

  I have a question for the Group:

  I have 7 000 photos that are based on iCloud photo storage. I know that like want to pay for storage.

  What is the process to cancel without losing any of my photos?

  Do I have to download all photos of the original library, then cancel?

  Also, I recently bought an IPhone 6. I did not notice that the iCloud photo library has been activated on the phone and therefore 5 000 photos and video are now on my phone. How can I safely remove them without losing the original photos? I have disabled iCloud photo library now but to delete all photos, the phone is off.

  Any help appreciated. Thank you!

Because you have disabled iCloud photo library on the phone, you can safely remove the pictures on it without affecting anything else.

  Any help appreciated. Thank you!

• ICloud photo storage

  Hello

  I will be backpacking for a month or two and probably will not have enough room on my phone to store all of the photos I take. I intend to upload them to iClould whenever I had the chance to connect to the Internet. I would ask if I wanted to delete the photos on my photo automatically deletes the photos on iCloud (I don't want it)?

  Thank you.

  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.

• A small question about iCloud photo storage

  Hello

  I was wondering if once the internal memory of the iPhone is full iCloud will continue store photos? Or the phone must have storage for iCloud to store? I just want to know before you buy an extra 50gig.

  Thank you

  iCloud is NOT a hard drive in the sky.

  iCloud photo library is designed to synchronize photos between your device and your iCloud-storage space. If you choose the OPTIMIZATION setting, the device will have files small size phone while files are in iCloud. This can drastically reduce the needs of storage on your phone.

  The number of photos and videos on your device is always synchronized between your phone and iCloud. Remove deletions from one place to another.

  iCloud "will not continue storing the photos...» "for you.

• iCloud photos - how to see your entire library

  How can I see my entire iPhoto Library (all events, photos, etc.) on my iPhone 6s?  Everything I see is recent PhotoStream / Camera Roll and can not find a way to see all that (as I do on Amazon pictures)

  Turn on iCloud photo library on all your devices. You can choose a library optimized on iDevices yo save storage, but original space on your Mac.

  If you have a way in the great library, it could take days to download the images.

• Is iCloud photo library space use doubled if I use Photos and iPhoto apps?

  IPhotos and Photos apps right now: If an image appears at the same time it

  be transferred twice (with the help of double the amount of space) in iCloud storage space?

  IPhotos and Photos apps right now: If an image appears at the same time it

  be transferred twice (with the help of double the amount of space) in iCloud storage space?

  No, you can not use iCloud with iPhoto and Photos at the same time on the same computer.  Photo library only at a time can synchronize with iCloud (My Photo Stream, shared Albums, iCloud, library).  If you enable iCloud for a Photo library, it will be disabled for the previous library.

  Sine you use Yosemite - in the first versions of Yosemite was a problem, and it was possible to activate my photo stream in iPhoto and iCloud library in Photos at the same time. But my photo stream does not count against your iCloud free storage, that is used for library iCloud, there is no overlap in iCloud photo library.

  Hello

  I can't update my iCloud photo library of my Macbook Air. I get the message "update of the photo library of iCloud is suspended. Your Mac storage is full. "I understand that stay that copies low resolution of my pictures on my mac, but I don't know why he can't continue to upload photos high resolution to my iCloud library when converting to other files on my mac for the versions low resolution. About 400 pictures sync before I got this message. I have still 46GB of available storage iCloud. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.

  

  Your Mac can not work and convert photos in versions optimized, so only 2.3 GB free on the system drive. The conversion must also storage.

  Try to release at least 10 GB by moving temporarily files on an external drive - video, audio, or similar.

• 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?
