• iCloud Photo Library Download stuck after changing icloud account

  This is FYI if someone of another encounter the same problem, I've had.

  My daughter Mac and iphone used a common icloud account that has been set up for the family some time ago.   She had a lot of photos stored in icloud, through Photos.  We decided to create account it with his own icloud and itunes recently.

  The first question icloud was in its disconnection from the old account.  The message that you will lose pictures and videos that are not fully downloaded to the Mac we fear for a few days because there is no easy way that we could find to determine in advance what photos and videos were not fully downloaded.  So, we tried for these days download all photos and videos but did not seem to make any progress.  After a few days, we have bet that we could continue with disconnection and risk losing the photos and videos they would be still in icloud under the old account.  Then we saw on the screen depending on who told us that we will lose only 3 photos and 1 video - too bad that the screen has not come earlier.  So we disconnected.

  The second question icloud came after connected to the new icloud account and tried to get his Mac photos to sync up to pictures of icloud.  We spent 2 or 3 days waiting for them to update and 2 separate calls with Apple support but no resolution.  There were two additional things, I noticed: 1) the iCloud library update bar (under preferences/Photos/account) remained empty (i.e., no green progress bar) for 2 or 3 days indicating no progress has been made and 2) next to the heading 'ICloud photo library' was the message in red that I had 29 (then 28 then 27) days to download my photos to icloud prior to their removal.  It made me suspicious that it was a reference to the photos under the old account and I was connected to the new account.  So, today, I bet and disconnected the new icloud account and once again had the same 3 photos and 1 video message would be deleted, that I accepted.  Then I signed in to the new account icloud, got informed that I had too little space on the new account to all the pictures and videos to download, I opted for more space (paying), end connection, then pictures/properties/account and viola, iCloud library update bar now give me 1) a number of pictures to download and green 2) in the progress bar.

  So, to summarize:

  1. If you're worried about losing your photos (or other files) If you disconnect your icloud account, note 1) you should be able to recover if you reconnect to the account and 2) that there is a window that will tell you how much you will lose (even if have never heard you those who), and
  2. If the synchronization ends up with no apparent progress made (especially no count of how many must be synchronized or no visible 'green' progress) then a possible solution is to disconnect, and then reconnect to your icloud account.

  Don't forget to let Apple know it so that they can improve their service to the future- http://www.apple.com/feedback/

• Transfer of the photo library to new Mac via iCloud

  I bought a new iMac to replace an old MacBook Pro.  Rather than a Migration Assistant, I opted to do a fresh install of things since the MBP had years and years of junk on it.  In any case, of the MBP, I downloaded the very large library of Photos to iCloud (which eventually took more than two weeks).

  On the new iMac, in pictures, I checked 'use iCloud' and ' download origiovals full resolution for this Mac. "   Now I see in the preferences in pictures (on the iMac), it now says "DOWNLOAD files 13 500 to iCloud.

  I'm confused by the present, since there is no native picture on the iMac, then what, exactly, he's trying to do? All photos should not be a descendant of the cloud, does not extend to it?

  Furthermore, if I deleted the file PhotosLibrary on the iMac and copied the file PhotosLibrary of my old MBP and continue to synchronize with iCloud, the process would be quite smart to know tha all these pictures are already in iCloud and don't have reuploaded (or may have duplicates of everything)?

  Life was so much simpler before decide me to (try to) link to the photos between my Mac, iPhone and iPad via iCloud.  Come on, Apple. "What happened to"it works"

  Furthermore, if I deleted the file PhotosLibrary on the iMac and copied the file PhotosLibrary of my old MBP and continue to synchronize with iCloud, the process would be quite smart to know tha all these pictures are already in iCloud and don't have reuploaded (or may have duplicates of everything)?

  Whenever you open a library to use with iCloud photo library, the Mac will download and compare all the pictures with iCloud.  He will try to avoid duplicates and probably succeed.

  If you have already invested a lot of work in your library on the MBP, if you have created projects - book, calendars, appointed the faces, it would be better to copy the library. The names of faces will not iCloud, also download your books and calendars will be missing.

  But if you don't need to save the labels of faces and projects, it should be faster to download the photos to iCloud.

• Cannot repair the photo library. The best way to restore from iCloud library?

  The photo library of the system is damaged and cannot be repaired.

  It is said "Photos has attempted to repair the library"Pictures Library 2015 ", but can not open it." .

  
  

  I first met problems with this library a week before and at the time where I could repair and open the library successfully, but lacked a month value of photos.

  Given that it was successfully in the iCloud library, I left it to re - sync - but this process suspended several times before the end, and the photo library of the system now seems to be permanently damaged.

  I have no project of marked or impression of faces in the photo library of the system, then I would be happy just to restore from iCloud.

  My plan is to put in place a new - empty - library and then that designate the library of the system.

  If I understand this right, the new (empty) system Photo library will now resynchronize with iCloud and will copy all the contents of this library of back to my Mac.

  Is this correct? It is the most effective way to restore my library?

  And while I'm here - what is the best way to manage a very large library? I had my photo library become corrupted ten three or four times over the past years and have found it necessary to divide into single years to prevent this. I overlooked this piece of household by the end of 2015, and now it's happened again... Surely, there must be an easier way to manage libraries of images of several years?

  Is this correct? It is the most effective way to restore my library?

  Yes, if you don't have a useful upward on your Mac.

  How do you call a large library, I've never had a corrupt Library, I think that your problems are not the result of the size of the library, but rather something else. From my experience it is recommended to maintain a local upward, I use Time machine, but also have a second to the top using a third-party backup solution.

• ICloud deleting deletes photo library photos from iCloud, photo sharing

  I have iCloud photo library on my Mac and on my iPhone.  I created an album of photos and videos to spend several weeks going apartment hunting in my neighborhood.  I have friends who are also looking for apartments in my neighborhood and these photos and videos would be useful for them.  So I want to share all these content with them using iCloud, photo sharing.  However, I have this great set of photos/videos over on my Mac or my iPhone, because I have an apartment and my use for these photos.

  1. create a shared album (let's call it 'Videos apartment').

  2. Add all my photos and videos of my apartment hunting that is currently in my library to iCloud.

  3 share only iCloud library with my friends (they can add, comment, do what they want)

  4 delete the original files from my library to iCloud I don't don't need or want these photos over on my personal devices.

  My question is: if I delete the photo in step 4, which will also remove the same pictures of the iCloud Shared Library?

  It would be useful to know if the iCloud share photos are copies separated from my photos of the library, or are the same.

  Sharing albums and Photo library iCloud iCloud different services and are stored independently from each other.

  When you create a shared album and share with your friends, you will see the shared album and photos in your photo library, but you can remove the originals from your photo library, as long as you do not remove the shared album photos. In the shared album photos can be slightly smaller than your original photos, because there is a limit of size of pixels for shared photos.

• Disabled by mistake to iCloud photo library and he turned his back.  Still says it will remove pictures

  I disabled the iCloud photo library photos & soft adjustment camera, as well as any type of sharing.  I need try to free 13 GB of space which has been monopolized by ghost photos that were not on any device or even show in icloud.com.  Restarted the phone, the data was retrieved, and I re-enabled all elements in parameters, including iCloud photo library of photo sharing.  iCloud library, Optimize iPhone/iPad, storage, Upload to my photo stream, download Photos of Burst, iCloud, sharing photos, pictures to summarize all lit up.

  The question I have is that I see the message:

  "iCloud photo library will be removed from iCloud in 28 days.  Choose to download and keep the originals below to download a full copy of your photos and videos. »

  That's fine, I have all my saved photos.  What I find that I am able to do is add any (as via iCloud.com Photos), as the 'Upload' button is grayed out and the same message appears on the header of the photos app page.

  I want to reset it.  I thought that turn everything would have been fine.  But it seems to be stuck.  I activated on all devices.  It's frustrating because it is preventing me from getting things done on the fly, I'm used to because I can't upload pictures in the Photos app.

• Release of the place on iPhone photo library

  I confess that I find the Apple handle iCloud and photo libraries really confusing way.

  Currently, I only 2.8 GB of available storage on my iPhone and want to free up space. So, if I go to settings > general > storage & use iCloud > manage storage (in storage), it tells me that Photos & camera uses 893 MB of available space.

  Yet.

  If I go into settings > Photos & camera, set to iCloud photo library and optimizes storage and Upload iPhone to my photo stream are all enabled.

  Which does not mean that all my pictures and videos should be stored in iCloud and that therefore my storage should be 0 (or near enough), no 893MB?

  I tried to delete the photos and remove about 100 old and new (I don't take photos if often from new ways a month ago), but this does not seem to make any dent in the 893 MB (and yes I removed them from the recently deleted folder).

  This is how it is supposed to work or is it possible to recover this 893MB?

  iCloud library isn't Cloud Computing to check-in service. The primary purpose of iCloud photo library is to provide a single source where your pictures taken leave of any device will be automatically shared with all devices and computers signed on the same with iCloud library iCloud account signed in.

  iCloud photo library manages your dynamic storage. Removal of the photos from your camera permanently deletes in the world. But if your global library is more than 893 MB (which is likely), the number will not come down. iCloud provided as many pictures optimized for your device as possible, the rest is miniatures.

• Not enough disk space to convert the iPhoto photo library

  My wife iPhoto library has about 9 500 photos. She has a MacBook Air, which has limited hard disk space, so we put his iPhoto library on a SD card (which is still in its SD slot). We decided to convert the iPhone photo library. When the process is started, it happens about 4% on the progress bar when a popup said that there is not enough disk space to perform the task (said to 72GO). How can I complete this process? She wants to ensure its iPhone and iPad Air can all share all the photos via iCloud. Can I put the library of Photos on the SD card too? Once the synchronization of library of Photos with iCloud, not all large digital images disappear from MacBook Air and only a miniature remain (like on the iPhone and the iPad)?

  I decided to try the procedure on my original post on my MacBook Pro.

  I copied the Library.photoslibrary Photos of my MBP to an external hard drive connected to my MBP.

  I did an "Option" + then click on 'Photos' selected the "Library.photoslibrary Photos" on my external hard drive. This produces the following pop-up message:

  "This library contains items to download from iCloud photo library".

  "To download the complete library, delete the incomplete elements, then set this library as the library of the system preferences and activate iCloud photo library. This will disable iCloud photo library on other libraries. »

  "Delete the incomplete items" or "quit".

  I clicked on "Quit" and posted above.

• Should be opened on mac or iPhone for photos to download to sync and photo library photos iCloud?

  I installed iCloud photo library, and I downloaded all of my photos and albums. My question or problem is that when I do rather small changes, i.e. Add one to five photos to an album, he seems to take an extremely long time before changes are visible on the photos on my iPhone.

  That is the Macbook Air, or the iPhone, must not sleep for downloading to take place? Should photos be opened on each device so that he can get?

  Thanks for your help,

  Rex

  Hello

  On the iPhone, it must either:

  • be in use (not necessarily in the Photos app)
  • or be in mode 'sleep', plugged in and connected to wifi

  On mac, you must have the application open and the mac for not being in mode 'sleep'. OS X Powernap Feature does not support the iCloud photo library (I've done a request for comments)

• Library iCloud Photo albums do not sync between Macs

  One of my friends has an iMac and a MacBook Air (MBA). He wanted the photo library to synchronize between the two devices, so I did the following:

  1. Allowed to iCloud photo library on iMac (it's the master of the photo library)
  2. Created an empty library on the MBA and activated iCloud library
  3. Photos started the download on the MBA, but it does not show one of the albums that the iMac was
  4. If I could connect iCloud.com and look at pictures, albums are here

  Any ideas on why the albums do not appear on the MBA?

  More information needed

  are these regular or smart albums / (smart albums does not synchronize to ICPL)

  Downloads do not appear until the downloads are finished - what is the status of each device?

  On the surface, looks like the initial synchronization is not yet over

  Recently, my macbook pro was stolen.  After receiving the new machine, I did a restore of the system to my Time Capsule.  Almost everything has worked flawlessly.  However, I was not able to get photos to sync my library to iCloud.  I am well connected to iCloud and checked all the appropriate boxes.   I went through the painful process of waiting for the pictures to download x x GB GB in the preferences pane (which took DAYS).  He did finally multiply thanks to the data but now it just says: «Download x pictures»   No pictures have been synchronized since the day wherever the other laptop was taken.  Does sync between my iPhone and the Photos app on the site from iCloud, but they make their way towards the new macbook.

  Early 2015 Macbook Pro running 10.11.5

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  but now it just says: «Download x pictures»

  You can have one or more photos corrupted in your photo library, who can not download on iCloud photo library.

  As long as not all the photos have been uploaded to iCloud, no new pictures will be downloaded.

  The download will begin once all the photos have been uploaded.
