pictures videos minimizing peripheral storage used

We push our maximum storage limit on an iPhone 4 (s) and one of our iPads. All photos/videos are in our photo library to iCloud and we need to know if there is a way to reduce the photos/videos of the iPhone and the iPad, while keeping the pictures/videos on the library to iCloud. Reduce photos/videos stored in the iPhone and the iPad would reduce the problems of storage on these devices. I tried searching in textbooks but could not find a useful guide on what to do. Can anyone help? Thank you.

Hello, gangrene.

Looks like you are trying to reduce the amount of storage absorbed by your iCloud photo library on your iOS devices. The following Knowledge Base article offers up to an explanation of how "Optimize (storage device)" for what are:

iCloud Photo library FAQ

Can I use iCloud photo library to save space on my device?

iCloud photo library automatically keeps all of your photos and videos in the original version, in high resolution. Follow these steps to choose how you store your photos and videos on your device:

  • On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, tap Settings > iCloud > pictures or settings > Photos & camera, then select a storage parameter.
  • On your Mac, click on Photos > Preferences > iCloud, and select a storage parameter.

If you turn on [device] Optimize storage, iCloud photo library manages automatically the size of your library on your device, you can make the most of your device storage and access photos more than ever. All of your original photos, full resolution and the videos are stored in iCloud while unit size versions are stored on your device. You can download original photos and videos over Wi - Fi or cell phone when you need it.

If you turn on download original, iCloud photo library will keep your original, full resolution photos and videos on iCloud and on your device. Download the originals is the default setting for iOS devices with 5 GB free storage plan and all Mac devices.

You need an Internet connection to access a photo original or video that is stored only in iCloud.

Thank you for reaching out to the communities of Apple Support.

Kind regards.

  • Hello! If I icloud library disabled, will be always saved pictures? I know that your backup stores the photo library of all devices and because I'm not all devices to be synchronized I think I'm safe and won't lose my pictures/videos. Right?

    Hello! If I icloud library disabled, will be always saved pictures? I know that your backup stores the photo library of all devices and because I'm not all devices to be synchronized I think I'm safe and won't lose my pictures/videos. Can someone please clarify?

    If you want your photos backed up, you must import them into the photos on the computer application that synchronize you with. iCloud photo library is a repository for all the photos for a given iCloud ID. However, it is not required for the care of your photos. I do not use iCloud photo library - import my photos into the library of Photos on my Mac.

    A backup of your device iCloud will save your current film, but if you remove anything from this film, then it will not be available for retrieval at a later date, because backups replace the previous backup version. A backup is so not an archive safe for your photos or videos.

    Photo stream keeps the last 30 days or 1000 photos taken with your camera if you have Photo Stream on, but once again, it's a temporary storage that gets crushed. Photo stream is intended to provide a method of sharing photos between the signed devices on the same iCloud account, but is not intended as an archive.

    Import your pictures and videos on a computer means that all photos and videos are kept in a library on your computer and will be accessible. It is the only safe way to archive your photos:

  • Why can I never get a good picture on my imac when using Skype?

    Why can I never get a good picture on my imac when using Skype?

    I use the free Skype to talk to my friend in China every week. They always see me on their computer or phone clearly, but I can never get a good video of them, clues why? I see a good image of myself, but never of them. I can't adjust the settings of the built-in camera because they are fixed. Is this my router modem, which is 8 years old now. What is causing this problem. If you look on YouTube there are hundreds and thousands of good quality webcam videos then why am I having this eternal problem year after year? I've got El Capitan OSX

    If they can see you clearly, the problem is not on your side - at least not in your Mac. Could be the router or you internet connection. Otherwise: https://support.skype.com/en/skype/mac/

  • Adobe first Clip does not see all the pictures/videos are stored internally

    How can I get Adobe first Clip to see all the pictures/videos that I know are stored in the internal memory of my iPhone?

    Hi tech-comm-Archbishop there!

    Are some of your photos/videos stored in the cloud? For the moment, Premiere Clip does not support storage cloud and all tracks audio/videos/images must be saved locally on your device. Let me know if this fits your situation.

    See you soon!

  • Download the digital video from a camcorder using Windows Live Movie Maker

    Tried to upload digital videos from a camcorder using Windows Live Movie Maker. To plug my camcorder, a dialog box "import video" appears. However when I name the video, and then click then I get an error message "there is no tape in your digital video device. To continue, insert a tape with recorded video you want to import. I tried eject Strip and re-integration, restart the camcorder and PC without success.

    OK, I found my problem. I was getting the same error "There is no cassette" who you were. Here's what fixed it:

    1. Right click on my computer
    2. Properties
    3. Device Manager on the left
    4. Find the firewire card in the list (mine was the only thing listed under IEEE 1394 Bus host controllers)
    5. Make a right click, properties
    6. Driver tab
    7. Update driver
    8. Browse my computer for driver software
    9. Let me pick from a list of device on my computer drivers
    10. Choose one that has '(legacy)' at the end
    11. Click Next until it is done.

    After that the error has disappeared and I was able to capture video with success.

    Hope this helps,

  • All My Documents, pictures, videos and music files are does not

    All My Documents, pictures, videos and music files are does not and I can't access the files and I did nothing to them but when I try and click on it, it says "music.library - ms no longer works, the library can be removed safely from your computer.» Records that have been added will not be affected. I understand that they won't be affected, but how am I supposed to recover all my files?

    Hey Kwame,

    I understand that you receive an error saying music.library - ms no longer works.

    Please answer:

    (1) did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    In the libraries folder, you will notice that the icons of the folders have changed to something else. This clearly indicates that Windows 8 libraries are no more work and corrupted.

    To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

    (a) press Windows + E to open Windows Explorer, and then click library.

    (b), select all the libraries with which you are faced with a question and select Delete.

    (c) click Yes to confirm.

    (d) after the deletion, right-click on the icon libraries in the left navigation pane and click on restore default libraries.

    (e) in the first attempt, default icons have been restored but if you are unable to access the libraries of Windows 8, delete and restore again to go back to work.

    Note: Deleting of a library does not delete the contents of the included folders. However, you need to add or include your folders manually, if necessary.

    Kind regards
