Release of the place on iPhone photo library

I confess that I find the Apple handle iCloud and photo libraries really confusing way.

Currently, I only 2.8 GB of available storage on my iPhone and want to free up space. So, if I go to settings > general > storage & use iCloud > manage storage (in storage), it tells me that Photos & camera uses 893 MB of available space.

Yet.

If I go into settings > Photos & camera, set to iCloud photo library and optimizes storage and Upload iPhone to my photo stream are all enabled.

Which does not mean that all my pictures and videos should be stored in iCloud and that therefore my storage should be 0 (or near enough), no 893MB?

I tried to delete the photos and remove about 100 old and new (I don't take photos if often from new ways a month ago), but this does not seem to make any dent in the 893 MB (and yes I removed them from the recently deleted folder).

This is how it is supposed to work or is it possible to recover this 893MB?

iCloud library isn't Cloud Computing to check-in service. The primary purpose of iCloud photo library is to provide a single source where your pictures taken leave of any device will be automatically shared with all devices and computers signed on the same with iCloud library iCloud account signed in.

iCloud photo library manages your dynamic storage. Removal of the photos from your camera permanently deletes in the world. But if your global library is more than 893 MB (which is likely), the number will not come down. iCloud provided as many pictures optimized for your device as possible, the rest is miniatures.

  • How can I prevent the download of the iCloud for iPhone photo library

    I bought my wife a new iPhone 6s more 16 GB for Christmas. She likes to take pictures with his iPhone, and she has many grandchildren phoos. I thought that his photos could be uploaded to iCloud and shared with his Macbook Pro that has 1 TB of storage and remove iPhotos on the iPhone, freeing a storage capacity on the iPhone, but I think that as soon as I upload the photos in iCloud, they will be reinstated in the iPhone. I must admit, I am completely confused about the iCloud shares the concept, so I thought I would ask experts. Currently, she has so many photos on her phone that she cannot download new applications. Help, please.

  • 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.

  • Photos transferred via USB use optimize the functionality for iCloud photo library?

    Hello

    I recently transferred 1000 files to my mac via a flash drive.

    I want to have optimized photos and not actually be fully downloaded on my mac and I'm currently using iCloud photo library with optimization turned on.

    Does the work automatically? Or y at - it another way to make this work?

    Thank you

    Phil

    When you import pictures to Photos on your Mac and they download to iCloud photo library they will be optimized on your Mac if space is needed - you cannot control what is optimized or when - it is dynamic and automatic

  • the reactivation of iCloud photo library

    Had the following issue: my photos for mac app was stuck on downloading the last 22 pictures in my photo library to iCloud.

    I did some research and it was suggested "just deactivate and then reactivate" the library of iCloud.

    Well surprise after trying to turn it back on I got a dialog box telling me he does not have enough storage space, apparently he wants to download all the photos again?

    Question: Is there a way to force the photo app to use my iCloud already synced photo library.

    Because reuploading a library of 600 new GB would be powerful frustrating.

    Someone at - it an idea?

    Best regards, Jelger

    Update: I managed to start the synchronization again by activating via the parameters of iCloud iCloud photo library.
    It gives me a warning that I will probably will run out of storage iCloud.

    Hope now only it syncs to the same library and will disregard the duplicates.
    I'll post an update as soon as I can confirm anything.

  • Trouble with the migration of my photo library

    I migrated my old MacBook Air to my new MacBook Air by time capsule, most things moved smoothly, but my pictures library does not open on the new computer. It says "Photos has attempted to repair the library 'Photos', but is unable to open it." Then closes.

    Is your photo library in iCloud online? If so you can just leave Photos download photos on the new computer. First, open your pictures folder and delete the photo library. Don't forget to empty the trash.

  • The file size of Photos library don't to shrink when I remove the images from the library

    Subject line pretty much sums up it.  Let's say I have create a library of Photos and import of 100 photos. The file "Library.photoslibrary Photos" grows to a certain size, as expected. But if I remove some of these pictures does not take the size of the file photoslibrary. If I import images more library file grows again, but it never reduces when I delete the images from the library. This happens with both a library of referenced files and images copied to the library.

    What happens here?

    You must either wait 30 days or go to the recently deleted album and remove not for the final to do deletion

    and note that Photos doesn't manage referenced good libraries, it was reported here that they can use more space than a managed library and they are not recommended

  • How can I access my icloud for my iPhone photo library?

    Would love to show images that are stored in my account iCloud to my friends when it is on the road and about, but cannot access it.

    Do I did wrong, I must be missing something vital.  I have no 'storage' left on my iPhone, it has something to do with it?

    Thanks a lot for the answers.

    Your iPhone is completely full, you mean? Yes, it will be a problem. To be able to demonstrate anything, it must be downloaded first (even if it is temporary).

  • Quick question on the placement of a photo on top of the other

    Hello

    Just a quick technical question.  I cut out a picture of the two from wife of a desktop environment.  Then, I tried to make a scene of Times Square behind them.  When I did, it just isn't quite right.  In other words, the woman does not look like they are in the background scene, rather they look too strong.  I will put a picture up there...

    Please understand, I just worked on it for a few minutes and have to leave for a little while.  So while I was gone, I thought I'd get some save advise.

    Thanks as always to this great forum and all the pros,

    Bob

    For a reasonable quick fix you can just use the blur tool on the strong border girls or you can take the original selection of girls before putting them in Times Square and it soften a bit.

  • How can I redo the process of uploading photos to iCloud photo library for iPhone?

    I had a lot of trouble to download the originals to iCloud photo library to my phone. It works fine on my Mac. So, I'll just do the download process again. Should I disable iCloud photo library on iPhone, remove all the photos from my camera and then turn it back on so it redownloads all icloud photo library to iPhone? I don't want to accidentally delete photos of iCloud library because it's my backup location. I also have original on Mac as well. Thank you very much for the help.

    Turn off iCloud photo library is perhaps the way to go. But first please tell us a little more on the problems that you encounter.

  • Cannot repair the photo library. The best way to restore from iCloud library?

    The photo library of the system is damaged and cannot be repaired.

    It is said "Photos has attempted to repair the library"Pictures Library 2015 ", but can not open it." .


    I first met problems with this library a week before and at the time where I could repair and open the library successfully, but lacked a month value of photos.

    Given that it was successfully in the iCloud library, I left it to re - sync - but this process suspended several times before the end, and the photo library of the system now seems to be permanently damaged.

    I have no project of marked or impression of faces in the photo library of the system, then I would be happy just to restore from iCloud.

    My plan is to put in place a new - empty - library and then that designate the library of the system.

    If I understand this right, the new (empty) system Photo library will now resynchronize with iCloud and will copy all the contents of this library of back to my Mac.

    Is this correct? It is the most effective way to restore my library?

    And while I'm here - what is the best way to manage a very large library? I had my photo library become corrupted ten three or four times over the past years and have found it necessary to divide into single years to prevent this. I overlooked this piece of household by the end of 2015, and now it's happened again... Surely, there must be an easier way to manage libraries of images of several years?

    Is this correct? It is the most effective way to restore my library?

    Yes, if you don't have a useful upward on your Mac.

    How do you call a large library, I've never had a corrupt Library, I think that your problems are not the result of the size of the library, but rather something else. From my experience it is recommended to maintain a local upward, I use Time machine, but also have a second to the top using a third-party backup solution.

  • Access iCloud photo library on iPhone

    iPhone 6 + 128 GB
    Latest version of the software running
    A lot of memory on the phone on the left

    I recently went to Apple to try to fix a problem of very small software (safari repeatedly crashing) I got with my phone.  The solution? A clean wipe of the phone.  If that's what I did.  However, I went home with what should be a solved problem, and he was always to be funny.  Being me, I'd rather have a glitch safari with all my previous settings and tact on my entire phone apps to have a glitchy safari while trying to drop my phone back to a semblance of normality.  In these circumstances, I restored my latest backup (which was the day before) and had my phone 'back' to me.

    Unfortunately, I can't seem to get pictures of my iCloud is displayed on my iPhone.  I can see them on my PC via iCloud.com, they are always there, but I have NO idea how to make back to my phone.  I tried to turn the iCloud photo library button in the settings of the iPhone, but it does not, either.  I don't mind even if they don't come back to my iPhone (although, in the end, I would have PREFERRED that, as I tend to look back in time with photos of my kids and doing collages with current photos), but I just want to be able to ACCESS.  Like... whatever it is at this point, really, to be able to see the pictures on my iPhone.

    I tried searching everywhere on how to accomplish only access photos of icloud for iphone, but everywhere only gives advice on photos of the icloud iphone, which I'm perfectly capable of doing.  It's just the opposite, that seems to be annoying.

    Can anyone help?

    Just a guess - in addition to the activating/deactivating the key to iCloud in the settings of the iPhone photo library, I would also try signing out & in icloud - perhaps with a reboot or restart forced between the two.
