share your entire photo library (v1.2) locally

Hi all

I don't know how to make my photo library locally share with other Macs. Please show me how, I'd rather not go through iCloud library since my library is huge.

Thank you

There is really no way except iCloud photo library

Photos is not a multi user program and does not work with a library network - it must have the library on a locally connected drive

There are other photo managers that allow network libraries and are set up for multiple users - Apple is no not one

  • Transfer Lightroom Photo library on customer account

    I want to start building a library of photos on my Lightroom CC account, when put in place and looking good, I want to encourage the customer to subscribe to Lightroom CC and then transfer the entire photo library so that they can continue to manage, add and edit images - is this possible?

    Thank you

    Your library has nothing to do with your CC account. The library 'seat' in your local catalog.

    The only thing synced to the cloud or mobile are marked-to-sync collections.

    That said, you can copy/forward a catalogue (in collaboration with original photos!) without any problems even for subscribers who use LR6.

  • How can I delete my photos in the photo library of iCloud?

    I placed my entire photo library - some 40 GB in iCloud photo library.  Everything seems to work quite well.  I keep the originals on my Mac.  I noticed that the optimized on my iPhone and iPad versions are beginning to produce a tightening of the memory on the last two.  I want to do is delete my iCloud photo library and start over with a subset of my main library - just five years with a value of photos that are about 10 GB.  How to achieve this?

    Make sure any time original photos are on your mac and iCloud library off on all devices - will delete all the photos in iCLoud in 30 days - then set the library smaller that the library system and turn on ICPL and the new smaller library will be transferred to ICPL

  • 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.

  • Creation of photo library

    I just updated my 2008 PowerBook for a ssd hard drive and have the old internal drive in an external drive. I found the old photo library with externally connected and can select it and see pictures but cannot create a new library on the new SSD without error message when the file is transferred. My plan was to drag and drop it on the desktop and place it in the new folder of pictures and find a picture to make the new library. It seems he just can't copy a file too big, 90 GB and trying, but it is not all the way.  I tried to drag and drop time machine too with the same problem. Do I need an app or is there something about the Photo to get the library directly and create a new one on the ssd? I made a backup direct time machine I wanted a new system not cluttered with all the old debris virtually everything but the pictures are set up on the new SSD at this stage. Thank you!

    Your old photo library may have a corrupt and need of repair before copy you it to the drive internal.  Also, there may be permission and file ownership issues.

    I would first try to repair the photo library - how to fix is described on this help page: https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/?lang=en#/pht6be18f93

    Then try again to drag the library to the internal drive.

    It copies without errors?  If this is not the case, use a software of cloning (Carbon Copy Cloner, Super Duper). to clone the photo library to the new location. This can work around errors in the file.

  • Why the pictures/Photos Library.photoslibrary/Database/metaSchema.db rewrite? It seems to be causing large backups

    Since going to OS X 10.11.4, I was make great daily backups (+ 3 GB) on time machine. This seems to happen even if I hadn't used the machine so far here. I noticed that the Photos had a new date of all everyday even if I had not opened it or loaded new pictures, I looked at his files using Terminal.  It seems that ' Photos/Photos Library.photoslibrary/Database/metaSchema.db' was the file with the new date of every day. In my system, it is about 3 GB.

    What is the explanation for the file being rewritten every day? More importantly is it possible to prevent it? (Or Plan B: is there any similarly to tell Time Machine to ignore it when it finds files modified - assuming the metaSchema.db reconstruction is something that could be done without too much damage, if I already had restore the pictures of the machine time?)

    There is continually a synchronization process with your system photo library.

    And if you use iCloud the cloudphotosd library is also synchronize with the library, even if you use any Photos that day here.  Your system photo library is continuously in use.

    To avoid this, you need to have a library empty your library of the system, but then you cannot use Photos with the media browser or iCloud.

  • My images full resolution stay in my photo library iCloud after downloading the originals on my Mac?

    Good afternoon

    I am currently downloading my entire photo library on my Mac from my iCloud Photo Library - I want to save the originals on a hard drive external.

    I've always had the value "optimize storage space", will be the full resolution original images stay in the cloud after the originals have downloaded on my Mac?

    Most of them is shot in RAW format and I still want their cloud to use Lightroom without having to import them all into LR first.

    Thank you, Aimee

    Yes, iCloud library still retains full resolution photos, unless you delete them

  • Trying to get pictures of the iPad to the iPhone. Clicked on iCloud photo library. Ended up deleting most of my photos in a second. Anyone know anything on this subject?

    I tried to make my photos to iPad iPhone. The ordinary photo stream was not working. I clicked on iCloud photo library in the iPad settings. Says delete a hundred photos. I clicked on that and all of a sudden, the vast majority, perhaps 600 deleted and no sign of them anywhere. Probably shouldn't have but reset iPad hoping to my last backup I had all, unfortunately not there

    During a turn on iCloud photo library on a camera that have been placed on the device via the sync from iTunes are deleted from the device. Original must be always on your computer (if they are not, they would have been removed from the device next time you synchronize with iTunes). The following link has received instructions on how you can add these photos to your iPad (see the section titled "if some of my photos are missing after I turn on iCloud photo library?': get help with your iCloud photo library - Apple Support )

  • Opening reassociating/merger with Photos library: help

    I did my due diligence by reading the previous posts on this topic, but I stay confused because I found enough previous posts about my specific question/situation.  So, here goes.

    When first Photos are out with Yosemite, I chose to continue using Aperture and my main application. So when I first launched the pictures, I said 'no' to the opening of import process.  In opening, part of my library is on my Mac and the other is referenced on an external drive.

    I have now decided to cut ties with Aperture (d * mn you Apple...) and go with Photos (and storage iCloud). (I really tried to warm up in Lightroom, but it's just so... so...) Gly).

    Currently, in the Photos, there is a folder called "iPhoto events" that contains the file structure that seems to be the same there as it is in the opening.

    My questions:

    How can [1] I now say Photos to import my Aperture library (given that this option is not officially presented once you launch at the start of the pictures for the first time)?

    [2] as I continued to use the opening for awhile, I reason that changes to the photos I made it do not appear in 'iPhotos events' in the Photos?

    [3] for the photos referenced in Aperture, should I - Interior opening - first turn them into photos managed (assuming my SDD as being the ability - all photos, or should I leave it as referenced and can say Photos where they are (using the 'show referenced file in the Finder... "Command.

    Silly question...

    No reason not to blow your library of existing Photos and simply re - import into your Aperture library?  You don't mention using Photos at all then perhaps there is nothing worth keeping 'current' library who would come again if you simply re-created.

    The answer to Question 1 is similar to what I mentioned above, delete your current photo library and then drag and drop your Aperture library on top of the icon of Photos or simply revive Photos and he will complain that it can't find your just deleted photo library and asks you to find it and you could point to your Aperture library.  Where things could get complicated, is if you have made changes / updates / additions in opening and Photos.  These would be quite difficult to reconcile if you did it manually much less waiting for your Mac to understand.

    The answer to Question 2 is exactly what you said - stuff that you did in Aperture rest in Aperture and stuff you did in Photos rest in Photos

    Do not have enough experience for the #3 answer, but I suspect either Photos it will handle or your suggested plan would work.

  • iCloud photos - how to see your entire library

    How can I see my entire iPhoto Library (all events, photos, etc.) on my iPhone 6s?  Everything I see is recent PhotoStream / Camera Roll and can not find a way to see all that (as I do on Amazon pictures)

    Turn on iCloud photo library on all your devices. You can choose a library optimized on iDevices yo save storage, but original space on your Mac.

    If you have a way in the great library, it could take days to download the images.

  • How to share your photo on the same Mac without iCloud library

    Hello

    I have an iMac, with El Capitan OS X 10.11.4
    I have an iCloud account, but I use Photos on my iMac without iCloud, only local.

    I create a second account on my iMac for my wife. She doesn't have an iCloud account.

    I want to share my library of Photos with it.

    I moved my photo library in the shared directory, and I give permission to write about it for my wife.

    For me it of ok, when I opened the Photos, but for my wife, when she tried to open this library of Photos it is an error message about broken permissions and it is impossible to do something, there is no option, just left :-(

    It is possible or not to do?
    If so, how?

    Kind regards.

    To share a library, that it must be in a separate disk or partition on an external drive with the flag 'Ignore the property' enabled. A shared folder is not sufficient.

    The procedure is described here for iPhoto. You can try the same thing for pictures.  See this link: iPhoto: sharing libraries among multiple users of

  • Two of us have MacBook and iPhone and you want to share a library on the local hardware. We want to get the photos off the coast of our devices to save memory. Recommendations of the how?

    How can I put any libraries of MacBooks and iPhotos in a single library on a local, external device to give us access and eliminate our cameras?

    An iPhoto Library is a library of unique user. If you try to open different user accounts, you will have problems with the file ownership.

    For iPhoto libraries the workaround is to move the library to an external drive, where the "Ignore ownership on this volume" indicator is on.  The procedure is explained in this document, see the link: iPhoto: sharing libraries among multiple users - Apple Support

    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.
