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.

  • 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.

  • Disabled by mistake to iCloud photo library and he turned his back.  Still says it will remove pictures

    I disabled the iCloud photo library photos & soft adjustment camera, as well as any type of sharing.  I need try to free 13 GB of space which has been monopolized by ghost photos that were not on any device or even show in icloud.com.  Restarted the phone, the data was retrieved, and I re-enabled all elements in parameters, including iCloud photo library of photo sharing.  iCloud library, Optimize iPhone/iPad, storage, Upload to my photo stream, download Photos of Burst, iCloud, sharing photos, pictures to summarize all lit up.

    The question I have is that I see the message:

    "iCloud photo library will be removed from iCloud in 28 days.  Choose to download and keep the originals below to download a full copy of your photos and videos. »

    That's fine, I have all my saved photos.  What I find that I am able to do is add any (as via iCloud.com Photos), as the 'Upload' button is grayed out and the same message appears on the header of the photos app page.

    I want to reset it.  I thought that turn everything would have been fine.  But it seems to be stuck.  I activated on all devices.  It's frustrating because it is preventing me from getting things done on the fly, I'm used to because I can't upload pictures in the Photos app.

  • photostream ios7 not synchronized with ios9 icloud photo library?

    The title of my post is actually also my question.

    I have an iPad2/iOS7x. Not wanting to update since I saw that another older I became practically useless when I updated to iOS8, then iOS9.

    I used services iCloud and Photostream on it - everything is normally backed to the cloud with no problems.

    I recently bought an iPhone6/iOS9. While I was setting this up I was asked if I wanted to move to iCloud photo library. I did, but now I realized that:

    1 iPad2/iOS7 photos does not synchronize on iPhone6

    2 iPad2/iOS7 photos appear not anywhere in the pictures on www.icloud.com application

    3 iPhone6/iOS9 photos does not sync on iPad 2/iOS7

    So my question is: are these two versions iOS7 incompatible iOS9 about the timing of the photo?

    Hi love,

    I understand that you have some question about iCloud photo library and Photo streams. Let's see if we can clarify this.

    The extent of iCloud photo library, yes iOS 7 is not compatible. Your devices will have to be at least 8.3 iOS to see all of your library or upgrade to iOS 9 on all your devices. Now, you can still have my stream of photos or iCloud, sharing photos to go to iOS devices 7, but you wouldn't have the entire library, like on iOS devices 9. Take a glance at the article below for details on what the requirements are for iCloud will go.

  • icloud photo library synchronization

    Hello

    I recently decided to synchronize all my photos via iCloud photo library.

    I wanted to keep the originals on my iMac but synch to my phone and iPad.

    Now I am a happy person to wink a little and had pictures going back 10-15 years, in fact there is more 18,000 of them. I don't go back more later delete a few, but want to keep what I had for a while.

    I initially just kept a copy on my iMac and then synchronized to my iPad via iTunes. I have in the albums which was pretty good.

    This process has been synching for about a week, but nothing has changed for at least a day and there are still about 600 photos to sync. I checked the albums and many photos on them are a bit blurry but they are the only record of my travels have and want to keep them.

    Can you tell me what I need to do. Or using I have come back to what I had before and synchronization with iTunes and iPhoto photo streams.

    May we make a suggestion?

    Concerning

    Chris

    This process has been synching for about a week, but nothing has changed for at least a day and there are still about 600 photos to sync.

    It is not unusual for a library of this size to take so long to download or even longer without any visible progress.

    Where it is suspended?  Is the upload to iCloud photo library of your suspended Mac, or synchronization with the iPhone and the iPad?

    Is your Mac, showing a progress bar in the Photos > Preferences > iCloud? Or is passed to the progress bar?

    You can check with a smart album, if your photo library containing pictures or videos, which can not download.

    Use ' file > new smart album ' and these settings:

    How much storage space you have on your iPhone / iPad? with your great library of Photos, you need to enable "storage management" on mobile devices. So not all willl be stored locally and they will look blurry, until what download you from iCloud photo library.

  • 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.

  • Download the video in MPG format to iCloud photo library

    Is it possible to download a video file, MPG to a Mac to iCloud photo library?

    I stopped using iCloud photo library on the Mac due to low disk space, however I always use iCloud photo library on other devices and would like to have the video available here. I tried to use the web interface to iCloud by using Safari, but I get a message that the format is not supported

    I guess I could convert the file in another format, however, I do not want 3rd party applications on my Mac, and I worry about compromising video quality. Is the other way to do this? Could using Photos (1.5) on the Mac and the activation of my photo stream get the video to appear in the photo library of iCloud?

    As we told you MPG is not a format alternative for ICPL

  • can I switch from icloud photo library app photos without losing the photos

    I have my settings so that all my photos have been removed from iTunes and are now accessible via the iCloud library, but I don't like the way they are stored in all THE PICTURES rather than in their respective albums that I spent hours and hours of sorting.

    If I drag iCloud photo Library, everything returns to how it was (basically, my photos will appear on my iPad in their albums?)

    The images are not stored in iTunes, so I don't know what you removed and hence. Your photos and your videos are stored and organized in the Photos app, on your computer and on your iDevices. iCloud library is how they are synchronized between all of your devices. This includes your albums. If you don't see any albums on your iPad, maybe not looking in the right place? One caveat is that you have nested folders.

    You can disable iCPL on your iPad and then return to using iTunes to sync photos, but like I said, you should see your albums with iCPL.

  • How can I subscribe to the photo albums of any other iCloud photo library?

    Greetings,

    I would like for the members of the family to be able to see the photos that I download on my iCloud photo library. Is it possible, if their phones are not on my account? In other words, is there a way for them to subscribe to these libraries of photos, so that when I download on iCloud, they automatically have these photos synced on their phone?

    Thank you

    You need to set up the sharing of the family: family shares - Apple Support. You can then each have exhib photo albums and also have a shared family album.

  • All the photos are low resolution JPEG in icloud photo library.

    My photos are raw in iPhoto, but when I got to watch or download from the cloud they are Habitat. I want to store the wines in the cloud and does not take a lot of space on my computer, but so far I don't see them there.

    If you use iCloud photo library, you have Photos app, not iPhoto.

    iCPL is a synchronization service, not an off-site storage or backup service. You must develop a different strategy.

    You have "Optimize Storage" activated on your iPhone or Mac?

    Have you checked, it makes the photos have been uploaded to iCloud?  Open the Photos.app to the iCloud web interface www.cloud.com and check if the pictures in question have the same problem on iCloud.

    Added: I see the white rectangle with the cloud icon, every time I edit a photo. The icon turns white, until the modified version has been downloaded to iCloud and synchronized at the back.  If you are that many of these clouds icons seeng a great prt library is not yet synchronized.
