  You can use a browser of the computer (for example, Safari) and you connect to https://www.icloud.com/ and open the Photos app here.

  Will be also in the pictures on any device where you have iCloud library lit. On a Mac, it is turned on via the Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud > Photos > iCloud photo library.

• Download Photos library to iCloud

  After converting my iPhoto photo library, the size of the photo library in the finder is 135 GB and the amount of pictures is a testament to the library is 26 673 when the "All Photos" album is selected. The quantities are close to those originally iPhoto library.

  I then started to load the new photo library on iCloud where, during the download process, the dialog box indicates that it is 'uploading 9306 points (xx.xx GB GB 104,46),"where xx.xx is the current amount downloaded so far.

  The difference in quantity and size of the photo is disturbing. Y at - it a reasonabe explanation?

  From what I saw other people post, the number changes often. See types of files that you can use in the linked article. Which may explain part of the difference.

• ICloud photo library - double images and memory iPhone 5 c problem

  Hello

  After months of deliberation, I decided to convert my Aperture on Mac in photo library and link the family three iPads and my iPhone to iCloud photos. I made sure all software updates have been installed on all devices, including the Mac. After 22 days of continuous download, I have now all the pictures in the clouds!

  However I have 2 problems. My 30 k + original images expanded to 40 k + with thousands of duplicates and my iPhone 5 c memory (8 GB - what a mistake!) is now full and I cannot take photos more or update applications on it. I guess that duplicates are albums on iPads.

  Before I converted, I checked and the documentation stated that the Photos would be recognition of duplicates and not replicate in the cloud. I also checked the box to optimize the images on my iPad and iPhone not realizing that even with the optimization of the paltry memory on the 5 c would be totally inadequate - the iPad is very good.

  Now I have more documented and install PhotoSweeper on the Mac seems a possible solution to the problem in double - the alternative is to go through each image!

  Re the problem of the iPhone, the only solution I see is to stop the iCloud photo library on the phone and then remove the images on the phone. Who will free the memory, and I will then be able to take pictures I have to take pictures by other means. It's not ideal for a functioning flawlessly, but when my contract is up this summer the next phone will be a greater amount of memory and hope it will be seamless!

  Any advice please before going further?

  Photo Sweeper is a good package and works well and is course - so are duplicate Annihilator for Photos and PowerPhotos

  You could try turning off ICPL on the small phone, cleaning of duplicates and leaving all s = complete uploads and downloads and stabilize and they new the on with photos on the iPhone - optimized it can handle then - worth a try

• Old photos have not been deleted, even if it's been more than 2 months and keep crashing the photo library in icloud.

  Earlier this year, I used the library to icloud to back up my photos. Everything worked well. After awhile, I deleted the photos and off synchronization from photo library. Today, I decided that I wanted to use again, so I turned it on. It seems to work fine but when I connect to my PC I have the chance to see the old photos have not been removed. They seem to be corrupt (there is an exclamation mark instead of a thumbnail) and I can not open them, instead the library hangs. It has been more than 2 months, I suppose that even if I forgot to delete some photos, they should be gone now. Is there a way to fix this?

  a few things

  1 - iCloud Photo is not a backup - it's a synchronization service - see FAQ-apples iCloud Photo library FAQ - Apple Support

  More precisely

  Do I need a backup?

  ICloud library stores all of your photos and original videos in iCloud, but we still recommend that track you return of copies of your library. You can upload your photos and videos to iCloud on your computer and store them in a separate library, transfer them to another computer with transfer of images or Photosor store them on a separate disk.

  2 - ICPL can be accessed through Safari - connect to iCloud.com can click on the picture and see what's there - look in the recently deleted album and see what's there

  3. we need to know the details - you have other devices using the same iCloud account?

• I've disabled iCloud photo library by accident and lost all my photos in iCloud. I can find them somewhere in return?

  Product: iCloud (library), iPhone on iOS 9.2.1 5s

  I turned off my iCloud by chance photo library and now all of my photos in iCloud went. Is it possible to find somewhere?

  Turn on again iCloud library unfortunately did not help.

  Is there someone who can help? Thanks in advance!

  Just turned off iCloud library should not delete your photos. However, if you went in to manage stock and selected disable and remove they would be deleted but they would stay at https://www.icloud.com/ for 30 days.

• I have 350 MB of photos on my photo library to iCloud. And used to synchronize the photos to my iPhone, I need help for this thank you

  I have an iPhone 4 32 gb

  You are connected to iCloud in settings/iCloud and Photos of synchronization are enabled?

  Try the settings/iCloud and remove the synchronization. Wait a few minutes and then resynchronize.

  Have you tried the signature to iCloud and then reconnect?

• 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.

• move the external drive photo library to iCloud

  Hello

  I just bought the option 1 TB, for my 300 GB library. With my MBP, I use an external hard drive, but I won't use it... So I sent the 300 GB, but if I start the Photo, there's still the library on disk external HARD... is not possible to use iCloud as the main library?

  Thank you very much.

  Fred of France

  iCloud library is essentially a synchronization services to keep your library in iCloud as centralized storage and reference to synchronize all volumes.  If you change a photo to one of your libraries on one of your devices, the changes will be updated in iCloud and synchronize all of your devices that are synchronizing with iCloud photo library. All libraries on all synchronized devices will always display the same pictures, montages, albums, metadata.

  So you will need a library t sync with your Mac.  To save storage, you can use the "Optimize Mac storage" option in the preferences to iCloud. Then the image original high-resolution fies will be stored only in icloud and your Mac will replace them with smaller and optimized, versions if the storage is not enough for the version high resolution.

• Can I remove photos from my iCloud and retain the originals in images on my iMac?

  I have a lot of pictures I want to save but they don t have to be accessible from anywhere. If I download the originals on my iMac, they stay there if I delete images to iCloud and I can access it through photos?

  If you have Yosemite 10.10.3 or later and the photos are in the pictures (successor of iPhoto) app on your Mac and iCloud library is turned on in the preferences of Photos on your Mac, and then when you delete photos to iCloud to icloud.com or any device where iCloud library is turned on, then they will be also deleted Photos on your Mac app.

  To be sure, you can respond with more details on the 1) how the photos were initially charged iCloud (when turning on photo library iCloud in settings > iCloud > Photos?) or give details of what you did to put on iCloud 2) how you want to download them on your Mac and where (e.g. Photos ((, iPhoto or both) and 3) what version of operating system is on your Mac (Apple menu > about this Mac).

• How to restore a photo library using iCloud on a MacBook?

  I now use iCloud for back up my entire library (more than 200 GB).  How to restore a photo library (including all data of pictures like faces, events, etc.) on my MacBook Pro when my MacBook Pro needs to be replaced?

  I used historically Time Machine to backup and restore my library when my photo library migration to another laptop.  However, I now do not have a backup Time Machine full of my library because the library is too large to store locally.  So now, I'm opting for storing it on iCloud to Apple servers using their 'optimize' Photos option.  Now, if I replace my laptop, I would be sure that as transparent as Time Machine restore solution is to obtain and import the Photo library (for example, the index of all my photos, events / files, location tags, face tags, etc.) on my new laptop directly from iCloud.

  Enjoy any clarity in iCloud library restore capabilities!

  I now use iCloud for back up my entire library (more than 200 GB).  How to restore a photo library (including all data of pictures like faces, events, etc.) on my MacBook Pro when my MacBook Pro needs to be replaced?

  You can create an empty photo library on your new Mac, and then enable iCloud photo library for this new library of Photos.  The library will download icloud, and most of the elements will be restored.

  But iCloud is not a backup. It's a centralized storage to keep all libraries updated on all your devices.

  There are some things that will not be restored to iCloud, for example the albums faces or your projects.

  This document describes how a library will be uploaded to iCloud to another Mac:

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

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

  • All photos and original videos
  • All folders and albums
  • Smart albums
  • Keywords
  • Keywords from searches of the tile faces
  • Key photo selections

  These items are available only on the Mac where you created the:

  • Books, cards and calendars
  • Slideshows
  • Keyword shortcuts
  • Unused keywords
  • Last album imported (this album contains photos you have imported recently on a specific Mac)
  • Facing tiles and faces of the data

  I is not entirely based on iCloud as a backup of your photos, but sometimes create a copy of your photo library on an external drive. In this way, you can restore your library, even if you are having problems with the internet connection, and it will be faster.

• How can I delete my photos in the photo library of iCloud?

  I placed my entire photo library - some 40 GB in iCloud photo library.  Everything seems to work quite well.  I keep the originals on my Mac.  I noticed that the optimized on my iPhone and iPad versions are beginning to produce a tightening of the memory on the last two.  I want to do is delete my iCloud photo library and start over with a subset of my main library - just five years with a value of photos that are about 10 GB.  How to achieve this?

  Make sure any time original photos are on your mac and iCloud library off on all devices - will delete all the photos in iCLoud in 30 days - then set the library smaller that the library system and turn on ICPL and the new smaller library will be transferred to ICPL

• Change the order of photos in the photo library to iCloud

  I am on iOS 9.3.2 and have downloaded all of my photos on Photos of iCloud. The photos appear in the posted agenda, rather than the date taken. Is there a way to change this to order the date us, that they have been taken?

  Appearing like this where?

  iCloud.com? The Photos of iOS app?

  In the Photos app, make sure that you have selected display Photos, low left icon and your photos * should * be sorted by date of creation, or Moments.

  The album pictures in Album mode does not allow a sort of created.

• My iCloud photo library is activated and it says space low disk - download 1 548 points but never actually download?

  Why does say not enough space - download 1 548 points when I go into settings > iCloud > Photos?  I have iCloud library lit as well as download on my photo stream but it never downloads actually and my phone again a low disk space.  I have 50 GB of space with only 47.6 GB iCloud used so space should not be a problem.

  "Low disk space" is probably what indicates that your phone is low on space... not iCloud. How much storage is on your phone? Go to settings > general > storage & iCloud storage and what is stated in high "STORAGE > 'Used' and ' available? Your iCloud-storage space is at the bottom of this page under "iCLOUD.
