Photos not downloading icloud

I use a Mac with OS X 10.11.4 load.  I also have Photos v 1.5

In the Photos, I have iCloud library enabled, and 'Download this Mac originals '.  I also have an iPhone 6 and iPad 2 Air, both iOS 9.3 operating and with iCloud library lit.

My question is this: when I first set up library, all synchronized on all three devices without any problem.  However I find now that photos taken on the iPhone to the iCloud library download (at least the phone says it has ' updated earlier ") but they don't not download to the Mac.  Instead the pictures on the Mac says just "Download x items" and it stays like that.

If I delete the pictures from the phone and then the Mac will return to normal.  The only other alternative I've met is to disable the photo library and restart, or completely disconnect from iCloud and then sign back in again.  But both require a new synchronization.

Someone at - it ideas?

PS I've seen similar posts from other users of the forum, but not a response yet.  Hours/days for pictures to download when I have a connection should really be high-speed fiber?

  • How can I select all the photos to download icloud on a Mac?

    I do the thing IT Manager family.

    My daughter moved into a House with the lousy broadband (0.5Mbit / s!).  She had already signed for storage iCloud and used pictures of iCloud for several years with his iPhone & iPad.  She has now a large number of photos & videos (ex iPhone & iPad) in iCloud, but also a large number of old photos in her photo album on his MBP (which she didn't register to iCloud Photos with).  I would get all of his photos on iCloud and in Photos in his MBP, and she can stop trying to use the thing iCloud until she gets a better broadband connection (and just sync with USB, in the traditional way!).

    I use iCloud Photos myself and find it very confusing - iCloud Photos, photo, pictures of iCloud sharing stream...

    However, I don't see an easy way of simply by downloading everything.  If I access iCloud Photos via Safari, I can download photos, but there seems to be no option "Select all", then by selecting several hundred photos will be tedious say the least.

    If I sign his MBP Photos up to iCloud, it goes, I guess, download all her photos to iCloud, ok, BUT, it will automatically download all her old photos on iCloud and probably exceed its storage limit, but also take a long time (45 GB - if I have fiber at home, so perhaps tolerable).

    I did a little research and can find no easy answers.  One possibility is to create an empty photo library on the MBP, sign up to iCloud, wait for synchronization, the export of all photos in a folder, re-import the old library of Photos and then delete again.  Seems possible, but tedious.

    All the best ideas?

    FWIIW, my daughter MBP is a mid-2009 13 ", just updated (by the family IT Manager!) to el Capitan. a little slow and only 250 and only 70 GB available.

    Go to a place where the internet is faster. Turn on iCloud photos on Mac.

    This will put all the photos in the cloud and on Mac.

    Once done, turn off iCloud photo library.

  • Pictures not download old photos to icloud

    Hello

    I have a mac mini server mid-2010 running OS X El Capitan version 10.11.4.

    I have the version 1.5 of the photos.

    I have a considerable amount of old photos that have never been transferred to iCloud. I can think back to August 2013 on the iCloud.com site and my other devices (iPhone, iPad, mac book).

    When I go to Preferences (in photos) I have iCloud photo library, my photo stream and checked iCloud photo sharing. I optimize Mac selected storage but I tried to download originals for the mac too. It is said to date earlier, which means she feels he has uploaded and downloaded everything to iCloud but this is incorrect.

    Another response of support that I have seen that the person has proposed to cancel the process of cloudd and I did. No change. I've also seen to disconnect from iCloud in system preferences, iCloud, disconnect you. When I do this it says that your iCloud library is updating. He warned that all images not downloaded will be deleted. My only options are to turn off or continue the update. Ive tried to continue the update not for about 4 days and no change.

    Can anyone help with what I can do to get the photos uploaded to iCloud for backup and access on all my devices?

    It is said to date earlier, which means she feels he has uploaded and downloaded everything to iCloud but this is incorrect.

    Create a smart album in your photo library ' file > new Smart Album.

    Define the constraint for the smart album for "picture is unable to download to iCloud photo library." This album is empty?  If this is not the case, look at the photo format.  Some file formats more prevent the upload to iCloud photo library, for example "PICT", TIFF formats with more than 8 bits, or similar.

    Also the files that were imported as referenced cannot download on iCloud photo library and will show as "Local." only

    Search for "Photo is referenced" as well.

  • Always about 3000 photos do not download to the icloud library. It has nothing different in size or the type of photo as the once that have been downloaded. Any ideas?

    I downloaded my library of images (30000) together in icloud. However, about 3000 of them just won't download. I checked and they are nothing in the size or format, like the rest of the photos. All Jpeg with normal file sizes.

    You have posted two screenshots:

    Thank you! I took a glance at the pictures that are not uploaded. I added two screenshots to this post. The first image IMG_6613 have download and the second an IMG_6614 did not download.

    No idea why, the news of the photo are in the screenshot. You have an idea why post an and the other not? First of all, I thought it was the extensions .jpg instead of the extension of ge.jp. However, I saw that much .jpg have download.

    Thanks again!

    Can you tell us more about the second photo, which does not download?   Can change you it? Can export you it?

    Try to identify the first photo that always must download and does not.  Most of your pictures will be perfectly okay, but a bad point could hide the progression. A video or a photo in a format not supported.

  • I do not understand iCloud photo library...

    IM probably having a time above, but I am having trouble with the use of the library.

    I found that the way it worked you take a bunch of photos on your iPhone and then download the ones you want to keep the photo library to icloud. Everyone has signed in the same iTunes account could then download those they loved and keep them locally on their device.

    The way it seems to actually work is that every single photo I take gets downloaded, and then downloaded to each single device on the account and if I delete one of the photos on my phone (for free space, for example) the same pictures are deleted on the iCloud library and all devices!

    is there really no way to selectively download the library and then keep the photos here as a repository of images?

    What is the point of having just pictures on all devices?

    Am I missing something here?

    You ask if it is not possible with iCloud Photos because it was not designed for this.  iCloud is a mirror/sync implementation service that synchronizes all your photos/videos on all of your devices, making them almost immediately available on all your devices, and if you happen to delete a photo or video to a device, it is removed from all devices.

    iCloud was not designed as a storage system traditional cloud based.  If that's what you're looking for, then you will have to look for opportunities to third parties such as Flickr, Dropbox or Google Photos.

    You can also use the function "Optimize iPhone storage" to save space on your device.

  • Why can I not see my photos on the icloud for my Ipad?

    When I was upgrading my ipad to the updated software it hung.  I've been back up my photos to the icloud for more than a year, but they do not appear here my ipad or all of my devices families shared?  Why is this?

    I have the setting all put there to store and backup is more than 5 GB.  My ipad is now frozen in the State that he wants to find a factory setting and I'm scared, I've now lost over 4000 photos.  Help!

    You should check iCloud.com, Photos. If you, the pictures are stored here they are uploaded to the iCloud (and will be downloaded to a device if you connect).

    If you don't see all of the Photos, they are not in iCloud. You can check if you have a backup (on iCloud or iTunes) but if you do not have to guess they're gone.

    Regular backups to iCloud do not include photos if iCloud library is set on "on".

  • Is it possible to download all my photos stored in iCloud on a phone, I'm no longer using 24/7?

    You say that you were not able to recover all your photos/videos to iCloud photo library?

  • 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/

  • Why the Photo not to send my picture to iCloud

    Hi, I have a problem with Photo and iCloud. Do not send photo app to iCloud. Download collapsed for sending... I can make it work?

    How long it stopped, the first download can take days and seems to stop to process videos.

  • Why are my photos not sending to the iCloud?

    Please help me I'm about to lose my mind once again with iCloud! Why my recent photos on my phone take loads of space when all is one on download on the iCloud? When I login to iCloud my of I see that all my photos are there which is great, but they are also always on my "library" containing the 5 GB. When I click on recent photos they appear just and not download with loading sign bit that comes inside it is why they take place on the phone I think. We were on vacation recently so have in particular taken over pictures of the kids! What should I do? I am so angry!

    iCloud is a synchronization system, not an external 'hard drive '. If you remove them on your device, they will remove icloud. To increase the available space, go settings/iCloud/Photos and select optimize iPhone/iPad storage. That will reduce the space required by 90% when it is fully effective.

  • Photos not updating library iCloud

    I have just been on holiday and took nearly 400 photos on my iPhone or DSLR.  All my devices (iPhone, iPad, and Mac) are all synchronized with iCloud and my library of Photos.

    I created an album with my iPhone and started adding photos in the folder as and when they were taken.  I used a Flash to SD card adapter for my DSLR photos on my iPhone, they could be uploaded to iCloud.  Every night, while wifi, I made sure that my photos have been uploaded.

    Since the return to the House, my iPad is all date and each photo is displayed however when I opened the Photos on my Mac, it just said "Update" at the bottom and does not change.  I left for a few hours and it remains the same.  I used the activity monitor to see if all the data being downloaded and nothing is downloaded to or yet there internet connection while I'm writing this at the same time.

    I know that the photos are on iCloud my works of iPad, I just to think photo needs a little kick to set in motion...

    Any ideas?

    I tried to disable iCloud photo library in the system preferences, but he just comes back on after a second without doing me anything.

    I know that the photos are on iCloud my works of iPad, I just to think photo needs a little kick to set in motion...

    Have you checked if all the photos are on iCloud - compare photos on your iPad to the library directly in iCloud to www.icloud.com. Maybe your iPhone / iPad still download and the Mac is waiting for them at the end.

    Besides the activity monitor, open a Console window.  Type 'photo' in the search field. In this way, you can see if there is no activity from the cloudphotosd process or the process photomodel.

    Is there a visible activity in the Console?

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

    I am trying to load a very large photo library on iCloud and am trying to determine how far along is progressing or if it is stuck.

    in Photos, I can go to preferences-online iCloud where he says: "now uploading xx, xxx files...". ».  However, this number is not changed and I said the process of downloading a couple of days. (I knew from the start, with ~ 50 000 photos, that the process would take time).

    I tried pressing 'pause for a day', and then pressing "reactivate" to see if that would start the process, but it seems to maintain the same xx, xxx files number.

    My photo library is on a portable USB drive, so I also wonder if the speed of this drive is causing the process to grind to a halt.

    I was wondering if I could return the library the SSD for my MBP and repeat the process? (And if I do this, which causes gazillions of duplicates and other shenanigans in iCloud?

    Thanks for your help!

    Maybe one, but probably very slow - my library 7000 point took ten days with the long periods appear nothing ask you - usually no youdo to speed up it will actually slow down or force it to start from the beginning - keep your computer awake and connected to the internet and let him away from churn
