• Cannot restore photo library

  A few weeks ago, my 2010 Macbook Pro began to reboot itself every hour approximately. I ended by wiping and restore with my Time Machine on my Time Capsule backup if the problem was still there.

  My second option was to back up all my files to another disk, then restore again, with a clean slate with my important files. However, when I imported my 80 GB library of Photos (Photos Library.photoslibrary file), it is said there are only 358 photos, not the 20,000 or that I know that I have. I did this once before where all I have to do is select the photo library file in the app Photos and Walla! I have all my photos. It did not work this time.

  I tried to restore it with the Time Machine backup again if she has the same problem (only shows 358 images). Currently, I'm sitting with a new installation of El Capitan and a 80 GB Photo file. What can I do to fix this?

  Already tried:

  -Repair of the photo library

  -Reboot Macbook

  -New installation of El Capitan

  -Using an older photo library file saved in my Time Capsule

  -Upgrade to Mac OS Sierra because why not try when you're desperate?

  Any ideas/solution would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading this. My photo library dates back to 1997, so anything will help.

  One thing you can do is to open the restored library package

  

  and look in the folder of masters to see if your original files are there or you have the 358 Photos or if you have all of them.  Do not make changes, just watch and get an idea whether they are there or not.

  

• If I use iCloud photo library to share photos on my Mac, make the stay of the files full original size on my Mac or they stored in the cloud?

  If I use iCloud photo library to share photos on my Mac, make the stay of the files full original size on my Mac or they stored in the cloud?

  Thank you!

  The photos full size will always go to the cloud. They also remain on (or download) your Mac depends on if 'Download this Mac originals' or 'Optimize Mac storage' is ticked in Photos > Preferences > iCloud. If it is enabled, it also depends on how much storage is available on your Mac.

• Change the referenced files photo library photos

  I know that I can import pictures into a photo library in the form of referenced files. But if I already imported pictures directly in the library can I reinstall them on an external drive?

  No, is not possible in Photos.The only thing you can do is to group them in your library and turn it into managed photos.

  To transform the photos managed photo referenced, you need to export them, delete them from your library and reimport them. Referenced photos are weakly supported in Photos. I'd only in this way, your photo library is too large for a single disc.

• Send photos to iCloud of all the photos in the photo library

  When I try to download pictures from my external hard drive where my photo library is stored, not all display them in the list (after choosing the download icon) as they do in the library.  Want to download them all to the cloud.

  You download iCloud.com or the Photos app in the dock?

• Where are my files stored rates consolidate my photo library

  MY photo library is stored in the folder my pictures on an external hard drive, and my pictures are referenced from the same folder. I found out thet, I can't see my pictures on iCloud if referenced photos. If I consolidate my library by changing the managed files are the original files moved to the photo library, or are they copying originals?

  I have 200 GB of storage available in iCloud. I have an iMac 250 GB of storage available. How do I set up my system so my photo library is uploaded to iCloud pictures and photos optimized on my iMac. I'm a bit confused at the moment and need help! Perhaps Leoni

  CConsolidating will copy the refeenced files in the library.

• iCloud Photo library of backup hard disk external

  Assuming that you don't use referenced files, copy & paste "Library.photoslibrary Photos" package to a hard external lead backup all my pictures in Photos? If I open this file on another computer, I will be able to access my photos?

  Assuming that you don't use referenced files, copy & paste "Library.photoslibrary Photos" package to a hard external lead backup all my pictures in Photos?

  Yes, you can simply drag and drop the photo library on an external drive.

  But make sure, that the file system of the disk is Mac OS extended (journaled).  Otherwise, you may experience problems with errors in the file. (such as described here for Aperture: using Mac OS X extended, for your Aperture library locally mounted volumes)

  Turn the meter of "Ignore ownership on this volume" for the external drive, if you want to open the library of another Mac.

  If I open this file on another computer, I will be able to access my photos?

  Yes, if the first mac has the same version of Mac OS X installed. Versions of Photos must be the same.

  Using iCloud photo library? In this case depends on your preferences to "Optimize Mac Storage".  Optimize Mac storage' active your original photos will be in iCloud and not on your Mac and not copy on the external drive.  "Then you will need to disable optimize Mac storage" and wait for your photos to download before copying the library.

• How to delete a picture library "referenced" without deleting the original photos in the application which is used to compensate for my projects?

  I made the mistake of setting up Apple Photos on my Mac Pro using the library option "referenced" (which is where my computer file are not copied in the Photos). However, throughout the year, I started to do the 'projects' in pictures by which I copied some files of original photos in the Photos app. My library is now made up of a mixture of many referenced files and some originals copied into the app.

  Now I did some heavy reorganization and clean up the photos in my computer folder, but obviously none of these changes can be found in the photos referenced in the Photo app.

  My goal now is to started using iCloud Photos but I want to do with a clean slate (i.e. without using one of the current referenced library that I have pictures).

  I have two questions:

  (1) is there a way to Photos to delete ONLY the pictures that are files referenced and not the originals that are copied into the app?

  (2) if the above is not possible, then what happens to my projects if I simply delete all the photos I have in the app? I'll always be able to see the photos of the calendar, that I did for example?

  I'm afraid that if I delete my entire library I will not be able to access my projects more in the future. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can manage this?

  Thank you very much.

  You can consolidate all of the photos that are referenced. If you have used photos referenced in the projects (calendars, books), select the photo in your photo library and use the command "file > consolidate."  This will copy the original referenced in your photo library.

  

  To find all the files referenced requiring consolidation of create a smart album:

  File > new Smart Album

  Set the constraint for the album 'Photo is referenced.

  Now you have all the photo referenced in an album. You can select the photos in this album and either use ' file > consolidate "to copy in the library or press the ⌘⌫ key combination to delete the picture from the library.

  Before you consolidate or remove a photo referenced, using ' file > reveal in Finder ' to view the original file.  This way you can remove the copy on your disk after you have removed the photo from your photo library.  If the referenced file is left behind, pictures will not remove.

  If you want to use your photo library with iCloud photo library, it is essential to consolidate the pictures referenced, because referenced photos cannot download on iCloud photo library.

• Relink 'Library of Photos' to iCloud photo library

  This question relates to a clean install of Mac OS Sierra

  I have my library of Photos in pictures file, and there all my uploaded images. When I format my computer, how can I create a link to this file with iCloud photo library, so I don't have to download anything new?

  I still did not understand the exact procedure for this and want to avoid download it all again as I have in the past. There must be a way to link to the top, since I downloaded them all already.

  You can not

  If you restore a library or repair one that it triggers a total upload to make sure that everything is in harmony, there is no way to avoid that - you just start a new library and let ICPL fill the iCloud - he loses people and all

• iCloud photo library and FIRST photos in iOS

  I would like to enable capture of RAW files in iOS 10. I have a 256 GB 7 iPhone +, but at 30 MB per DNG, storage will be used quickly if I don't get the photos on the phone regularly.

  It is true that I am still unclear on iCloud photo library works. I activated on my iPhone, but I think it means it stores the photos on the phone and also downloads in the cloud?

  If I had to come home every day and transfer the DNG on my Mac and remove them from my phone, I assume that they will have is no longer a storage space on my phone, but would take place in iCloud if they were downloaded before I moved out of my phone?

  Looks like I should cut iCloud photo library if I am shooting RAW, since I would like to download very large photos that I don't necessarily want to keep?

  iCloud is a synchronisation/mirroring service and not a traditional cloud solution based.  If you are looking for a more traditional based cloud solution, then consider using an application third, for example Dropbox, Flickr or Google Photos.

• 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.

• Archives photo library of iCloud?

  When I take pictures on my iPhone, my ideal process would be:

  (1) pix from the phone go to iCloud

  (2) pix to iCloud downloaded the photos on my Mac

  3) once on my Mac, pix never get deleted photos except if I explicitly

  In other words, the CMA should be archiving, and I should be able to remove the pictures from the phone and iCloud without deleting the Mac.

  In practice, #1 and #2 work fine. Problem is that if I delete a photo on the phone, it disappears from my Mac as well.

  I can't find a way to keep these photos on my Mac, short export files of Photos. Surely, there must be a better way?

  Note that I don't have the parameter 'Download the originals of this Mac' is enabled in settings iCloud in Photos. This does not seem to prevent the deleted, however the pictures.

  I use OS X 10.11.6 and iOS 9.3.5.

  In practice, #1 and #2 work fine. Problem is that if I delete a photo on the phone, it disappears from my Mac as well.

  That's because iCloud photo library is designed for synchronization, not as an external storage, as your probably know. New photos imported from any device download to iCloud photo library as the centralized storage. Modifications and changes to the photos of any device will synchronize to iCloud and updated on all devices, including the removal of the pictures. iCloud Library maintains library on all identical devices.

  I can't find a way to keep these photos on my Mac, short export files of Photos. Surely, there must be a better way?

  For your desired workflow, Thomas, I recommend to create a second photo library on your Mac, your Photos of Archive library, which is not synchronized with iCloud.

  Let the synchronization of photos from iPhone to your iCloud photo library and upload to the library on your Mac that is synchronized with iCloud. Then transfer them to your library Archive by export and re-import.  Or invest in pictures of power for easy transfer photos between libraries of Photos.

  The alternative, which recommends Apple, is to abstain from remove photos from iOS devices and use the "Optimize storage" option on the iPhone.  Keep your comprehensive library on the iPhone optimized version.

  I have used this approach for a few months. My iPhone and iPad have 64 GB of storage, and that worked somehow, but is a pain, because we cannot control which photos will get 'optimized '. It's a pain, if I want to create a slide show and pictures are underway in iCloud only Internet available.

  I switched back to my photo stream to download new photos from my iPhone and disabled iCloud photo library on my iOS devices, I'm only using iCloud photo library to keep Macs in sync.

• 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.
