Photos library download to iCloud: it is stuck or just really slow?

• 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/

• Removal of old photos of the iPhone with iCloud photo library on

  I had a 6 128 GB iPhone for a couple of years and I bought a Macbook Pro about a year ago. I've been running iCloud photo library - but not Photostream - and without really look deep into the settings exactly, when I take pictures on my phone they usefully automatically found in the Photos app on my macbook. When I remove photos from my phone, they also seem to disappear too from my mac.

  Recently, in an arrangement of happy until I started running low on space on my phone. My question is, is my library in 'mirror' between my devices? IE if I say, delete all my photos from 2012 to 2014 my phone, they are removed from my macbook too? Obviously, it would be disastrous.

  I guess my question is, what are the best settings to have a situation where my photos will be driven by my phone to my laptop, but then stored on my laptop indefinitely?

  Any help is appreciated.

  Hello

  When you use iCloud photo library, deletion of a photo or a video on any device that uses the service will remove this item in all of them and also to iCloud.

• Photos library 20 more GB on HD on iCloud

  Between yesterday and today my library of pictures swelled to 20 GB more bigger than my photos library occupies on iCloud.

  The ONLY change my photo library in the last month is a single photo, that I took this morning.

  Yesterday afternoon I had about 50 GB of free space on my system (I'm 100% sure of this).

  When I wake my computer this morning, I had < 5 GB remaining and a photo alert recommending that I turn on optimization of the library.

  When I went to check the size of my photo library folder, it was close to 80 GB.  I then went to my preference of the iCloud system to check, it indicates the size of my library of Photos to iCloud is 35 GB.

  When running the Photos to try to see if somehow a ton of pictures appeared magically in the library of the size of the library immediately dropped to 55GO.

  I just finished an attempt to repair to the library, the end result, is that my library is 56 GB.

  If I go into the preferences it indicates my library is synchronized with iCloud.  As stated above the only change to my account in the last 30 days was a photo I took of a document of this morning.  There is nothing particularly special about this picture, I checked that it is 2.1 MB in size.

  Someone has an idea from these ghost data and how to remove it?

  I have no idea about the rest of the stuff, you say, but it is quite normal for the library on your Mac is greater than that in the cloud, mine is bigger and a little more than 20 GB.

• How to remove photos from my iPhone without deleting icloud photo library?

  My iPhone is full and I wanted to remove some photo to release some spaceso I supported the up to iCloud and I started to remove photos. ***? They are endangered to iCloud! Now, they're just gone. It's crazy! Image capture you can import to everywhere, but the function "delete after importing" seems to have disappeared. I'm sure this question has been beat to death, but how you remove photos from their phone without removing them from their photo library iCloud?

  So frustrating.

  Does anyone know of a solution to this?

  iCloud is a synchronization system, not just external storage.  Once you turn on photo library all you do with a photo is on ALL of your devices (including remove them).  See the last section in this article on how to recover pictures that you inadvertently deleted:

• 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.

• photo library mobile problem drive ext

  I moved my library on an external drive by following the instructions in the previous discussions, I copied the library on the external drive and then re-launched photos, hold down the ALT key then selected the library copied. Then, I put the copied as the library system and active re iCloud library library. but then I got a message saying I have available insufficient storage in iCloud. my library is close to 600 GB, and I'm on the 1 TB storage plan. Looks like photos trying to load the entire copied photo as a new library library. is it possible to stop this and to recognize the copied the original library, because I don't want to upgrade my storage iCloud simply to have 2 copies of everything in my library like I don't want to have to wait for 600 GB to download to get the library on the mac back in phase. I think I might just start a new library system on my mac and then download icloud, but I don't know if I'm doing this that I lose all the info from faces that I added to my existing library.

  While we're on the subject of the faces there at - it a way to sync on devices that I have this library on my mac mini and also I have the photos app on my macbook pro synchronized in the same photo library and but iCloud account info "faces" does seem to not copy on iCloud, is this correct, and is it possible to synchronize the faces

  Thank you

  Mike

  Don't you can't stop it and it will not download everything but is checkin to be sure, the library is in sync - nothing will be duplicated

  Yes, you can start a new library and Yes you would lose your face albums but keep the tags face making re more quickly - identify and when OS X Sierra came out Photos will manage faces totally differently, but until the software is released, no one knows exactly what it will include or how it will migrate

• IOS/OSX photo library

  Hello.

  I recently spent on 'iCloud photo library' and 'optimize storage iPhone '. I currently do not have access to a Mac, but I hope it will be once the MacBook is updated for the month of June. When I start to use the Photos on OS X app, I select 'iCloud photo library' & 'Download the originals for mac' so all my photos will be downloaded and stored locally, as well as on iCloud?

  Thanks in advance.

  IBM

  When I start to use the Photos on OS X app, I select 'iCloud photo library' & 'Download the originals for mac' so all my photos will be downloaded and stored locally, as well as on iCloud?

  It is preferable, Yes. Work with your photos is faster, if you do not need to download icloud before changing them or their navigation. You can use them in browser media in other applications, whether they are stored locally.

  And you can keep a local backup of your photos with Time Machine, if you select 'download the originals for mac '.

  Notes

  I have red that upload works only via WiFi. I've been sync'd wifi even forever now.

  How can I fix it?

  The iCloud library synchronization is a very slow process. Literary can take several days, or even weeks.

  Options:

  1. you can leave the long process and see what happens;

  2. you can go to settings > camera & photo > disable iCloud photo library, then turn it on again later.

• iCloud library download not any photo library

  Hello

  I decided to start using iCloud photo library, so I checked the option "Préférences"-> "iCloud" Photos (version 2.0). He started to download items very well, but I noticed it is not downloading the entire library of Photos. My photo library contains 7065 photos and 151 videos, but Photos only started to load about 2500 points on iCloud library after activating what is 16.5 GB (see screenshots). When you look at the size of "Library.photoslibrary Photos" is 46.5. Does anyone know a reason for this difference? Thank you

  

  

  It'll take some time according to the signal from your ISP and Wi - Fi.  Make sure that your signal is good.

• Is there a way to download photos from my iPhone to my photo library iCloud without having my iCloud all that downloaded on my iPhone photo library?

  I just got a new iPhone 7. I was able to import all of my photos and videos of my previous iPhone 6 on my photo library to iCloud. I would like to import the photos that I take on my current iPhone to my previous library without going through my library iCloud just downloaded on my current iPhone. I would just like to see all on my Mac. Is it possible that it is possible? Thank you.

  I'm not entirely sure or understand what you're asking.  If you import pictures from your device, it is stored in iCloud photo library.

  If you're wondering if it is possible to store photos only in iCloud, and not the on your device, the answer would be no, because iCloud is not traditional storage cloud based, i.e. it is a sync/mirroring system, allowing you to synchronize all your photos on all of your devices and make them available instantly , or almost immediately in some cases.

• 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.
