Storage of Sierra - photo library

• photo library & backup

  IM soon to take a vacation and will have a lot of pictures on my trust 5 s 16 GB iPhone.  I have 5 GB of storage on iCloud, photo library, optimized images and photo stream on.

  Assuming I take thousands of pictures, photos will be stored on the storage of the iPhone.  How can I keep the free 16 GB for general use by "pushing" the images from the photo library?

  Thank you...

  The more you can do using iCloud photo library is to enable the "Optimize iPhone storage" setting settings > iCloud > Photos. There is no way to completely remove the photos from your phone without them also being removed to iCloud photo library. However, the storage parameter Optimize can be very effective in reducing the amount of space needed on the phone.

• Faces of Mac OS Sierra an iOS not synchronized on icloud photo library

  You also have this problem?

  Hello alfo91,
  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  If I understand your message that faces on Mac OS Sierra are not synchronized to your device iOS with iCloud photo library. Some features in Photos on macOS Sierra are available only on the Mac, they were created on. These items are listed in the article below:

  Use iCloud photo library on several Mac computers and Photos
  
  

  These items are available only on the Mac where you created the:

  • Books, cards and calendars
  • Slideshows
  • Keyword shortcuts
  • Unused keywords
  • Last album imported (this album contains photos you have imported recently on a specific Mac)
  • Names and faces in the album of the people

  Best regards.

• Photos on macOS Sierra: Album of peoples does not synchronize with iCloud photo library

  Using Photos has just been updated for Sierra, and we finally have it in writing:

  https://help.Apple.com/photos/Mac/1.2/?lang=en#/phtf5e48489c

  Note: Persons identified in the album people are not synchronized between devices.

  And as far as I know, it really does not synchronize between my libraries of Photos on the MacBook Pro and my iMac.

  It's different in the 10 user guide iOS for the iPhone and iPad:

  http://help.Apple.com/iPhone/10/#/iph9c7ee918c

  People are synchronized between devices where you are connected with the same Apple ID.

  I wonder how this is supposed to work, if a Mac and iPhone are synchronized with iCloud User Library.

  None of the faces that I named on my iPhone did sync it with my Mac.

  Another indication that the lack of synchronization of the people and names is deliberate:

  This document has now also been updated:

  Use iCloud photo library on several Mac - Apple Support computers and Photos

  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT204486

  After have connected you, these items appear in the Photos app on all your Mac computers:

  • All photos and original videos
  • All folders and albums
  • Smart albums
  • Keywords
  • Memories
  • Key photo selections

  He used to say, tags searchable faces will perform synchronization between devices, but the tags are more is mentioned. Now we have the 'memories' instead.

• iCloud Photo Library used Incorrect storage

  Hi all

  I have the following problem with iCloud storage of photo library:

  So before you save a 10 Min video I used 1.5 GB on iCloud storage. I recorded the video and takes 3 pictures, I uploaded the video to Youtube and deleted photos and recently deleted, I Wen to iCloud photo library and now I had 3.8 GB used but the video isn't there only 3 pictures, does anyone know how to recover this space?

  You said that you have downloaded the video on YouTube.  Why the video would be in iCloud if you do download in iCloud?  I understand you correctly?

• iPhoto and photo library on hard drive storage

  

  I'm trying to free up space on my HD, and I've got this huge 'other' file.  Further investigation, it seems that he might actually reflect my pictures on my computer, despite photos apparently only 12.42 GB of space.

  But then my pictures folder contains 80,21 GB of data.  So, the 'library of Photo migrated' iPhoto said he composed 24.96 GB.  And the photo library makes 53,11 Go.  Can I delete the iPhoto library (is it a duplicate because it was migrated?)

  

  Yes. But you claim back so much space that you think that both applications share the masters BLAH common to both pictures.

• Storage of original photos of full resolution in iCloud and IMac

  Hi all.

  I have what I think, it is a very simple question, but for the life of me cannot find a definitive answer.

  I have a librurary of photo on my iMac. (don't have not yet updated for sierra)

  I would like to support this thesis / store the originals in ICloud AND keep them on my mac.

  SO I think that the obvious thing to do is select "optimize storage" in the settings of cloud photo which clearly says that they will be in the cloud and the computer. But here's the question...

  If my IMac is low on space will start serving the original photos so that they are FAIR to Icloud?

  If so, what is the threshold of how much space it starts to do this?

  and if I recover my space again once on the iMac will be the original re download back to my iMac?

  Thanks in advance people.

  You may not use the setting 'Optimize storage' - select ' download originals for the Mac ", if you want than the originals, to be stored locally on the Mac and on iCloud.

  So that 'download originals to the Mac' is activated, all of the original will be kept on your Mac as well.

  It will not start original purge, as long as you keep "Optimize storage disabled".

  Optimization of the storage with the storage management is automatic.  Photos will download the originals if you need and remove, if more storage is needed. You cannot control this.

  iCloud library is no backup. It is a synchronization service to keep all your libraries on different devices synchronized and updated. If you accidentally delete photo from your library, it is not possible to restore from iCloud. Deletion can be synchronized to all devices and iCloud, so the photo has disappeared everywhere.  You need a backup separate from your library on an external drive, even if you use iCloud photo library.

• photo library mobile problem drive ext

  I moved my library on an external drive by following the instructions in the previous discussions, I copied the library on the external drive and then re-launched photos, hold down the ALT key then selected the library copied. Then, I put the copied as the library system and active re iCloud library library. but then I got a message saying I have available insufficient storage in iCloud. my library is close to 600 GB, and I'm on the 1 TB storage plan. Looks like photos trying to load the entire copied photo as a new library library. is it possible to stop this and to recognize the copied the original library, because I don't want to upgrade my storage iCloud simply to have 2 copies of everything in my library like I don't want to have to wait for 600 GB to download to get the library on the mac back in phase. I think I might just start a new library system on my mac and then download icloud, but I don't know if I'm doing this that I lose all the info from faces that I added to my existing library.

  While we're on the subject of the faces there at - it a way to sync on devices that I have this library on my mac mini and also I have the photos app on my macbook pro synchronized in the same photo library and but iCloud account info "faces" does seem to not copy on iCloud, is this correct, and is it possible to synchronize the faces

  Thank you

  Mike

  Don't you can't stop it and it will not download everything but is checkin to be sure, the library is in sync - nothing will be duplicated

  Yes, you can start a new library and Yes you would lose your face albums but keep the tags face making re more quickly - identify and when OS X Sierra came out Photos will manage faces totally differently, but until the software is released, no one knows exactly what it will include or how it will migrate

• Removed all icloud photo library, 1.9 GB still in use

  I deleted all of my photo, My Photo Stream etc. flows including shared library iCloud.

  I have also ensured that the recently deleted album is empty. I disabled iCloud photo library on each device. It should not be a trace of left.

  However, I always told my library back 1.9 GB of my storage iCloud. There is an option to turn it off completely but it will take 30 days, which is a long wait when I don't know if it will work.

  Any ideas that he could be taking all this space? Or if there is a way to reset all empty without waiting for 30 days?

  I use the latest version of iOS on my iPad and the iPhone, and the El Capitan on my Mac if that helps.

  Have you tried to log in to your iCloud account, then sign in again?

• Not recognized by Word or Photoshop photo library

  Work on a MacBook and recently installed Sierra 10.12.  Everything worked fine until all applications 3rd party such as Word, Excel, Powerpoint, (office 11 14.6.8), Photoshop Elements 10 has ceased to recognize the new photo library.  iPhoto and photo booth developed but not the photo library itself. The actual program pictures works fine. I also see the library by email and online (as a download on shutterfly). 2 hrs with tech does support last night and 3 people later no resolution.  Reinstalled Sierra. No change. Everything is updated.

  Just weird it was working one day then stopped working the next day.

  Any suggestions besides to annihilate the entire disk?

  How you are trying to access your photos? Directly (which is not possible) or by using the media browser?

  a work around is to export the photos (menu, file == > export) to a folder on the desktop and use there

• Should I Photostream if I use iCloud photo library

  Hi, I use iCloud library on my MBP, two iPhones and iPad and I still active Photostream.

  I'll try to find our knowledge if I need Photostream as well as use iCloud.  I have more than enough storage for the moment in the cloud then from what I can tell Photostream is not something that would fail me if I turned it off.  At the same time, I can't find a definitive answer anywhere!

  Grateful that if ever I decide to stop using the cloud, I can turn Photostream for my last few thousand photos.

  I also try to work if there is anyway that I can reduce the amount of space on my iPhone which currently takes about 13 GB of photo library.

  Any help would be welcome.

  Thank you

  Matt

  If you do not use my Photo Stream, turn off all devices.

  You need my photo only, stream if you also use older devices with iOS 7 or more, which can not support iCloud photo library. But if all your devices are set to synchronize with iCloud photo library, you don't need my photo stream. It might even cause problems.

• 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

• I DELETED VIDEOS FROM PHOTO LIBRARY AND THEY REMOVED OFF THE COAST OF IMOVIE!

  So I was about to export a video to my iphone out of storage ram. So I decided to remove the videos from the library until I discovered, it removes off imovie! I didn't know that! Like imovie takes lots of storage. I deleted the videos of recently deleted, so now they are gone!

  Is it possible to restore them?

  And if you're advising me to download something, no malware or viruses please.

  If you have enabled iCloud photo library, that's how he wanted to work. iCPL synchronizes all changes and actions, including deletions, across all your devices and computers.

  The only way for you to restore these files is from a backup, preferably on your computer.

• 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.
