  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!

  ============================================

  FWIW... Regardless of what I or someone else
  you... the best bet is to maintain up-to-date backups 'Always'
  of * all * your files, photos, documents, ect...
  external media. (Personally I archive 'all' of my personal files)
  on two different external hard drives and data DVDs)

  First... If you have Picasa or photo library open when
  you go to your pictures folder and try renaming a
  folder... the warning could be because these same files
  are being accessed in Picasa and photo gallery.

  You do not have three locations of photo storage... Photo
  Gallery and Picasa are simply a photo viewers / editors.

  Copies of your photos are not archived in these applications.

  And... one or two programs to uninstall does not remove
  your photos that you have saved in your folder images/s.

  Your actual photos would be stored on your hard drive...
  more than likely in your... Pictures folder or other folders
  of your choice.

  However... Photo gallery maintains an exclusive file
  that contains the original versions of your files that have changed for the
  goal to return to the unedited version.

  If there is no chance you would like to return to your
  versions to the original edition, you can remove the
  files in the original Images folder.

  in Windows 7, you can find the original image folder to the
  following path:

  C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows
  Photos of Gallery\Original

• Optimize my iPhone photo storage

  My iPhone says that I have 20 GB of photos stored. I do not know if those that are stored on my iPhone or iCloud. How can I know who is who or both? I want to free GB of space on my iPhone. Thanks for the tips!

  Hello

  If you use iCloud photo library and also allowed the option optimises iPhone storage (settings > iCloud > Photos), then iCloud photo library automatically manages the size of your library on your iPhone.

  If you are not already using iCloud photo library (including the optimization option), then you can consider doing.

  The optimization option attempts to free storage on your iPhone by keeping versions space saving on your iPhone and the full-size originals in iCloud. Photos and videos are optimized on your iPhone automatically, if necessary.

  Note that when you use iCloud photo library, removal of a photo or a video on any device that uses the service deletes also all other devices that use the service, including to iCloud.

  The following resources may help explain how the photos and videos are managed by iCloud photo library:

  My wife and I have an iPhone with 16 GB of storage 6. I use my iPhone as a camera much, but my wife doesn't. His photos are using one full storage capacity. She also has a MacBook Pro with 1 TB HD. She bought more storage in iCloud, but I think she has consumed only. Is it possible to download all her photos in iCloud and put everything on the MacBook Pro so that they will not download again on his iPhone? I gave him that HD 1 TB to store all his photos. Thanks for your help.

  Don't download from iCloud, simply import since his phone to the computer by following this link:

• 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.

• iPhone and iPad photo storage

  I have recently bought a new iPad Pro and an iPhone 6s and also implemented exactly the same in terms of photos - they access the same library of Photo and both are on optimize storage device and both have the value NOT to download and keep the originals.  Two questions - they take more memory than they should be? -62 on my iPhone and 30 GB on my iPad (I know they're going to take a bunch, but that still seems a lot so we have 63 000 + photos in our library). And, secondly, question, how can be different on each device using the same settings and access to the photo library even the amount of storage they take place?

  Thank you

  Keith

  Optimized Photos stored on your iCloud iOS devices that will dynamically change library based on the amount of storage you have at any time in time. So, Yes, they could be different amounts, and they would take place as storage space they can dynamically. Here are a few items of media that can clear up your questions:

• 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.

• Paradigm of photo storage? (too many Go to the new computer)

  Summary:

  I'm at the point of having to upgrade and get a new iMac for me.  Most of them have not nearly enough storage space for my photos/videos stored in the pictures.  I'm looking for advice in planning to implement a new "main" computer for the home/host Photos that will work for me. I know I maybe need to update my paradigm of Setup to get the best solution (had to do to get photos for devices of the family and now that I thought about it, it works very well!).

  Details:

  My current main computer is a big iMac 2009. With a 1 TB drive - who doesn't have 2 - 3 years. Replaced by a 2 TB drive (Seagate) which lasted a whole year and failed.  Replaced by a 3 TB drive (I think it's a Western?) which works very well... so far.  I have Time Machine backups on a dedicated (3 TB) external drive, so it took a lot of getting up and running when it happened, fortunately.  I did the physical replacement of the disks myself without incident.

  My current photo library says it's 708GB in size. Library.photolibrary of iPhoto is 558 GB (I can do without it?).  In my storage of 'about this Mac' tab he said films take 609GB, and take some Photos 379 GB. "Free of 2.79 to 1.18 TB."

  I've considered using iCloud, but I can't currently feel like I can afford $ 120 / year for storage...  Amazon has unlimited storage for $60 / year, but I'm not wanting something that do not integrate well (even if I am slightly consider it for a backup option).

  These are all our personal digital photos/videos for the past 14 years and no, I'm really not to split the library and not have everything at my fingertips... In addition, I want that they all in an accessible digital format for now.

  My ideas:

  I could buy a new iMac or slightly used and replace the hard drive with a bigger drive (not sure how friendly models current are for that!) and as I have.

  I could get the new iMac and keep an external drive running with the storage of Photos on it. But then I have questions on it being backed up with Time Machine.

  What else is there to implement I think not?  Are there other aspects that I think not?

  My current photo library says it's 708GB in size. Library.photolibrary of iPhoto is 558 GB (I can do without it?)

  If you don't use iPhoto, you can delete the iPhoto library but you don't get the whole GB 558.  The two libraries share the same data on the HDD through hard links initially so that they only take twice the amount of space on the hard disk.

  New photos added to each library are independent of the other library.

  Here is more information about hard links:

  The iCloud is not a storage system off Mac where you can put your library of PHotos and the operator there from there.  It's a synchronization system that allows you to synchronize your photos between all devices that are connected to the same Apple ID and the active library iCloud.  You may have the option for the version store only optimized on your Mac to save space.  However, the full versions will have to be downloaded any time, that the pictures are needed for printing, in a project or for a slide show.

  All iCloud options are features of synchronization and require files to be obscured on Mac.

  Also there is no option of storage online library of Photos that can be stored on and used or recovered in a guaranteed condition.  Their servers are not correctly formatted and are incompatible with the libraries of Photos.

  I could get the new iMac and keep an external drive running with the storage of Photos on it. But then I have questions on it being backed up with Time Machine.

  This is the solution that I would recommend.  Time Machine backs up any external hard drive connected to your iMac. I have 2 EHD connected to my iMac that is backed up to my 3rd DHM with Time Machine.

  For best performance, I'd get an iMac with an internal SSD and at least 8 GB of memory.  If you get the iMac to get Apple just RAM standard because you can update yourself much less expensive by getting the modules from Crucial.com or otherworldcomputing.com.  Be aware, however, that several iMac 21 "cannot have their RAM added after purchase. They are not updated in the user level.   All the iMac 27 "have expandable RAM user.

  If you buy an iMac opportunity do not forget the former owner has prepared according to this document from Apple: what to do before you sell or give away your Mac - Apple Support. Otherwise, you could get the problems of implementation for your use.

  

• Photo storage says 20 GB but I have little pictures?

  Hi there, first post so bear with me...

  When I go on 'about this Mac' and then 'Storage '. He tells me that I have 18,97 GB of photos. I deleted my iphoto album and made a folder of photos on the desktop of all that I want to keep that totals less than 1 GB of photos. When I click on the pictures on the side bar of the finder there are no photos here. Trash is clear.

  Can someone explain the difference?

  He said also that I have 2.16 GB Audio when I have no music on the mac I use Spotify and all old music I have is on an external hard drive...

  Thanks for your help!

  My apologies if you are the path to this suggestion, but maybe put you pictures in the trash, but not not emptied the trash yet?

  I have more iPhoto to check, but it is not its own separate from the system Trash trash?

  Video can consume a lot of storage space quickly.

  OmniDiskSweeper, a free program, can search you drive and specify the folders and files. There are other similar applications.

• Photos: storage iCloud and sync

  MacBook 12 "El Capitan to run: I would like to add, delete and edit old and new photos on two iPhones, an iPad, and perhaps MacBookAir my husband (who also manages El Capitan) I 14 000 pictures in my library, the vast majority of them is from iPhoto.   Problems if I turn on iCloud photo library on my MacBook12?  And other devices?    How much storage iCloud I might need to buy?

  What is your iPhoto, as shown in the finder library?

  

  Your options are

  

  Select who will take your library and expand when you add new photos.

  Note: for you husband to use the same Photo to iCloud library it should be connected to the same Apple/iCloud ID and would thus, share the same e-mail account, contacts, messages, etc...  It's probably not what you want.

  To share photos online can use the family Plan.  In this way each of you can continue to use your own Apple identifiers.

• IPhoto/photo storage

  I have a MacBook Pro and upgraded to El Capitan and iPhoto and photo apps are both filled with photos. Photos in each of the applications consume storage?  iPhoto has 60 gigs and pictures has about 80 concerts can iPhoto removed and it will have a negative effect on the application "Photos"?

  Thank you!

  Yes it can be deleted, no it has no effect on the Photos app.

  That said, he will not recover 60 gigs of space for a little magic of unix, the two libraries to manage the same original files on the hard drive, but it will recover the space.
