Photos are stored on my Mac when using iCloud

When you use iCloud for photos, the photos are saved on my Mac, or simply in iCloud? And say I take a picture on my iPhone of store on my phone or does go straight to the cloud? My questions because I'm trying to save space on my devices and images seem to take a lot of space.

Photos imported in a Photo as Photos or iPhoto app are stored on the Mac

The library of iCloud is a synchronization mechanism which keeps a mirror image of the contents of the devices - in other words, when you delete something from the iPhone - it will be deleted the rate so

If you are looking for options for additional storage, you may want to Google Photos or up there

    Hello Dulceallison,

    Please ask questions on iCloud and photos after the iOS 10 update here in Apple Support communities. We don't like hearing about questions after each update or upgrade. I am pleased to offer you some things to check to help you with your photos are blurred and alerts that you have received with iCloud.

    The first thing we want to make sure is that all your data is safe. You can perform a backup to iCloud or iTunes. Use this article to help with this: backing up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

    Once your data is safe, we need to verify your configuration and ensure iCloud library is enabled and check if you are using the storage optimization feature. Please open this help link: iCloud photo library. There is a section on titled mid-race "save space on the device. He talks about the storage settings optimize. When this option is enabled, you will get in their original, high-resolution images of resolution lower, while iCloud library keeps all your photos and videos. You can check and see what images are stored in iCloud by clicking on this link: icloud.com, sign in using the same Apple ID that is connected on your iPhone. Click on the Photos. If you use iCloud photo library, you will be able to see all your photos. Upstairs in the Center, it allows you to see Moments or Albums, and if you scroll all the way down it will tell you how many photos and videos that you have. Also, some scroll down and try to check a few who appear fuzzy on your iPhone. Icloud.com are also blurred it?

    If you use iCloud photo library, and even if you see lower resolution versions of the photos on your iPhone, they should not be blurred. Make sure that you have made a backup and then please go to settings > iCloud on your iPhone. Turn off the photo library iCloud, wait a minute or two and then turn it back on. It should be re - synchronize your iPhone with iCloud. Check if the images are still unclear. If they are, please fully sign off iCloud on your iPhone. There are options to save contacts on the iPhone, and other documents and other will be deleted form the unit. Don't worry, this information is recorded with iCloud and also saved in the backup. Once all signed, restart your iPhone. This article will help you if you need the steps to restart the appliance: restart your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. Once the device powers turn it back on, go ahead and return to the settings > iCloud. Sign in with the same Apple ID that was signed previously. It may take a few minutes to return all documents, data, photos, contacts, and calendars, but once this is done, go ahead and check your photos. They match the icloud.com images? Are they accuse still blurry on your iPhone only? See if you can isolate a specific set of images, or if all the photos on the iPhone are blurred.

    I hope that steps with deactivation and activation of photos in iCloud or logout and back in iCloud has resolved the issue, but if not, please provide the information for the steps that we have achieved together so far and I'll be more than happy to continue checking of other options to get this working as expected with you. Thanks again and have a great rest of your day.

  • What are the advantages and disadvantages of using iCloud drive (or other Cloud services) compared with iTunes game against external hard drive, Solid State etc. to store my songs iTunes, playlists, ratings etc?

    First question: what are the advantages and disadvantages of using iCloud drive (or other Cloud services) compared with iTunes Match against Solid State external hard drive etc to store my songs iTunes, playlists, ratings etc?

    Please let me know what are the alternatives for storage of my songs, playlists, song etc. other than iTunes game ratings ($ 24.99 / year)?  Is there a way to store all my songs with my song ratings, playlists, etc. with a CD song quality? Most of my (currently 130 GB) songs on my computer are CD quality that I prefer to keep as well as my notes of each song (i.e. 5 * vs. 4 * etc.), playlists, groups (music, classical, popular, country etc.).  What are the advantages and disadvantages to store my iTunes songs while CD quality with my personal notes, reading lists, groupings in the cloud?  ICloud of Apple Drive ($ 2.99 per month or $36 / year for 200 GB) would be the best way to automatically update and maintain my rankings iTunes personal including the future editions of the song etc or using Amazon, IBM, Microsoft etc cloud or an external hard drive SSD would work as well and maybe cheaper?  I currently have my iTunes on a PC of 2007 with vista (I use a 1 8T Western Digital external upward by car for my personal info all over HP, songs, photos etc. which is currently close to 170 GB) but also have an Apple i-phone 6 & I Air cushion.  Although I did not need to have all of my music with all their sides, etc. available on all of my devices at all times as iTunes game, I still would have easy access to information on both my PC and my iPhone or iPad?  Thank you.

    In my opinion?

    I back up my data to an external drive for several reasons.  The first is my data - if I put on the cloud, someone else has control over it, they can see what I have and change the preferences to what they see of marketing.

    Almost as important as that - if I had to rely on the cloud whenever I wanted to update my playlists on my phone, I need a better internet connection I have now (working at sea).  To get the best out of the cloud, you need a solid link to home, work or mobile.

    As a spin-off - I hate the fact that Apple take away a feature in their software updates and then allow an app to be sold in their store to replace this feature - or worse still, some features that were available before the updates are now "cloud only."  And Yes - you have to pay for the cloud.  I like most of the people do not appreciate the 'accomplished fact. "

    From the back of the external hard drive ASI downside, is that to be safe, you need to store outside in a separate computer place.  If keep you them together, if one is lost, probably, they are both.  That is to say for me a full backup before you travel, then a new upward as soon as I go home.  Downside is how much data may be lost between the two back ups if I needed to restore.  For me, its worth the risk.  If I was away and say had bought a ton of new music and couldn't go home anytime soon, I can always head to the store and buy a new external drive, they are massively expensive.  Even if my computer has to go for repair and my remote is to halfway around the world - I want to buy a new one.

    Now, some will say that once you buy a new external, you spend more than you would on a cloud subscription.  It's true, but in the 6 years following the purchase of Mac that I've only had to buy a new external once - so with a little luck and planning - it works.

    I left took well - I am not a subscriber of cloud, nor do I want to be.

  • Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT photos are stored at 72 dpi and not 180 dpi. Can I change this?

    When I download my photos taken with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT to my computer, I see they are listed as 72 dpi, but when I download pictures from my small pocket cameras Canon (like my Powershot S410 or ELP 300) they are listed as 180 dpi.  It is a function of the cameras, or is it a setting I can change on the rebels to store the photos at 180 dpi?

    My second question is: it won't hurt the quality of the photo printed so I manually "resize" the dpi to 180 in a photo program before printing.   The vast majority of my photos are just stereotypes that I print 4 "x 6", but sometimes I get a good picture I like to enlarge. "

    As you can see, I know very little about digital photography.  In the past, I have not even noticed that pictures of rebels were at 72 dpi and the others were to 180.

    All the information that will inform me on this subject will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.    Mac

    If you say that the printer to print a 4 x 6 proof it will not (in general) paid no attention to indications of DPI image.  All shots of my XSi are 72 dpi so I printed several pictures on a dozen different places throughout the city and the DPI setting in the image file is ignored in favor of the resolution of the printer and the size of the image.  In other words, if the printer only 300 DPI then my impression out to 300 DPI.  I've never seen a case where the printer used the DPI setting in the file.  I can't guarantee that it will not happen on some printers, somewhere.

    But most people don't print that many images in that a lot of places so I suspect that if you are printing a single image at any place printing 'new' you can determine if it's going to go wrong or you can take the time to set the DPI setting on the image with your image editing software.  I'm not sure of what you use to edit your images, however, two following software packages allow you to adjust the DPI or print resolution:

    IrfanView allows to change this setting: http://www.irfanview.com/

    GIMP also allows you to modify: http://www.gimp.org/

  • Why the photos are added to the library when they shouldn't

    My main photo is a folder that is accessible by Lightroom.  Photos taken by my iPhone are added to my library iCloud.  Every few weeks, I have export, re-import with Lightroom and then delete Photos.  After deciding what to keep, etc., I import them to the pictures, but as referenced images.  I noticed some strange events that some of these re-imported referenced photos are added to Photos instead of staying as referenced photos library.  Today, I exported all my pictures from December to my iMac desktop computer.  I imported to Lightroom by moving them to a specific folder on my HARD drive iMac.  Then, I went on my page web iCloud, selected all except 12 photos and deleted.  I checked the pictures, and indeed the pictures were gone.  I checked my iPhone the went and then my iPad.  Everything except a few stray photos disappeared from this device (do not understand my a few that had been removed from iCloud were still on iPad) I deleted these stray photos if all THE Photos on my iMac and devices showed the same thing, only 12 photos.  Here are my Photos of preference settings:

    My devices have these settings (iPhone has also upload photos of burst selected):

    Once all this has been checked and rechecked, I imported my photos of December in Photos like referenced pictures, yet more than half of the referenced images was imported as pictures added to the photo library.  I have a smart album that photos of IDs added to the library instead of referenced photos.  Even some were copies of original 12 I had saved for my library of Photos at the beginning of this experience together.  These photos that have been added to the photo library are now also on my devices as well as when I check my web page to iCloud.  How can I keep peaks which should be referenced photos to be added if they are uploaded?  Some of the "uploaded photos" are in a shared file.  If this affects what happens?

    Once all this has been checked and rechecked, I imported my photos of December in Photos like referenced pictures, yet more than half of the referenced images was imported as pictures added to the photo library.

    Photos won't matter pictures, as if the same photo has already been imported as successful. It will use the original master file run instead, which is already in the photo library, even if the original file must be in the recently deleted album.

    Make sure that you have no original managed in your library, before you try to import as a reference.  The original of your managed can be created by importing through my photo stream, for example.

    I see pictures in my particular album and I'm trying to put them in a document on a Web site, but when I navigate, photos, this particular album is not displayed.

    If you create a new album with photos and want to use it in other applications, leave pictures and exit the other application before you access the library of Photos in the media browser.  Photos needs to close the photo library and the media browser caches to update, and your web browser should restart, update its cached media browser version.
