Unable to choose "iCloud library" after the restoration of Mac

Hello everyone, this is my first time, ask a question here.

I have a MacBook Pro with a library of 57 214 (317 GB) photos stored on an external hard drive. I recently downloaded all these photos to iCloud library (it took 5 days!) but just yesterday, I had to do a clean OS install. Since then, I tried to implement the pictures once again.

My library on the hard drive is set as the system library, but when I select 'iCloud photo library' with the option ' download originals of this Mac ", it selects, then begins to download, it cancels the. If I try to select it again, the same thing happens.

Two minutes later...

Can someone tell what I can do? Should I remove the pictures from the cloud and try again?

The problem may be that the free storage is not enough to download all original icloud in addition to the pictures already in your library.

It might be easier to download the library of iCloud to an empty library instead of download the. library again.

Do you have plans in your photo library, you need to save or invested a lot of work by naming the faces?

Otherwise, move your existing photo library to an external drive as a backup copy, then remove the library of your internal drive.

  • Launch of Photos with the options key held down to bring up the library Chooser Panel.
  • Select this option to create a new library.
  • Make this new library your system photo library and activate iCloud.  Your photos and albums will begin to download. It will be faster than the download. Once again and the merger of the two libraries.

But the download will not restore the named faces and not projects. IF you keep the original library to access your projects and have a reference for the faces that he will have to restore.

  • What happens to iCloud library after you restore the old library on Mac?

    I have known problems with iDevices displaying thousands of 'new' images, even if they are all already in the library of Photos on Mac and on iCloud photo library, I posted on here also.

    Through the various attempts to stop these 'new' photos to reappear again and again, I found myself with several copies of the thousands of images in the pictures on Mac and therefore in iCloud (i.e. they synchronized). Rather than go to the library and find it manually and remove these duplicates, I would just return the photo via Time Machine library to its prior state of duplicates. After I restored the local library there will be no duplicates and have much less images than what is in the iCloud, photo library.

    My question:

    'Local library restored' rule and the iCloud library will correspond to the now smaller local library? Or all of the duplicate to my local library files will be synchronized? Put an another passerby, did restore Time Machine also "informed" (impact) the library to match the local library restored iCloud?

    Restores the local library AND remove all images in iCloud and then re-upload a 20 K library to iCloud the only way?

    Thanks in advance.

    First, you will need to erase your iCloud library in iCloud, I'm afraid, Pope, prior to activating the library restored as a your photo library system.

    I only tested once. After the restoration of the library of Time Machine, the library was no longer recognized as the photo library of the system, even in the same location on disk. That caused the iCloud photo library to deal with the library as an additional library must be downloaded to iCloud. The library was merged to the existing library, so older duplicates have been removed.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones unable to respond to emails after the restoration of profile

    Hi BB community.

    I have problems with the sending of responses to emails on my Blackberry 8310. I can receive emails and send emails again, but I'm unable to respond to emails sent to me (there no option). The only option I have is to write a new email and send.

    I tried to have service returned books, hard reset (handheld wipe) and initially it seemed to have not solved the problem. After trying another activation hard reset and company the second time without restoring my profile and third-party applications, I had the opportunity to respond to emails. However, the restoration after the activation is not successfully restore my apps and it causes the question answer to happen again.

    My question is, how do I proceed from here? Should I just suck it and re - download all my apps again instead of restore, is possible (which seems likely) that one of my apps is causing this issue or it could even be something to do with how I install my Blackberry Desktop?

    Any input would be greatly appreciated.

    I think your correct, your app is causing the problem.  Once you restore, you still have the problem.  I would like to re - download apps not restore from the BES.  I think it's your problem.

  • How to eliminate the split after the restoration of browser screen?

    FF 29.0.1 running on OS x 10.8. From time to time, from FF (after killing him) and the restoration of all sessions, results in each window with tabs displayed in a split screen. The upper part is about 4 "high, followed by a seam, then the site itself. Resizing can completely eliminate the useful portion--unable to shrink beyond the joint.

    Open a new tab results in a screen divided; Open a new window appears normally.

    The problem occurs only after the restoration of the tabs - never when FF is normally closed.

    Suggestions?
    Thank you.

  • Explorer.EXE error after the restoration of the ERD Commander

    Dell Inspiron B130

    Windows XP Service Pack 2

    Recently performed a HD format and new installation of XP SP2. After I installed all the drivers and others, I checked that the system was operating normally. After a few days of use, Windows Update downloaded Service Pack 3 and asked me to install. I started to install SP3, but at about 50%, the laptop battery is dead at Midway through the installation. I plugged the laptop on the power source and power. I restarted the laptop and XP started only a completely black screen and the white slider. No ALT + CTRL + DEL, desktop icons, etc.

    I rebooted the laptop of ERD Commander, ran the restore system and selected the first available Restore Point. Point of restoration chosen was recorded a few days before, and was the first recorded point after the clean installed XP. I rebooted the XP system. Wallpaper loaded with white cursor, but NO start menu or desktop icon. A message appears saying "Explorer.EXE Application error, press OK to exit the application" or something very similar. Did not write the error code, but can get if necessary. If I press the OK button (which is my only option), there is still no icons on the desktop or the start menu. Only the cursor. No access ALT + CTRL + DELETE or something like that.

    Thinking about completely wipe the system and reinstalls the operating system. Any suggestions before I jump in this solution?

    Explorer.EXE error after the Restore Point of ERD Commander. Dell Inspiron B130. Recently clean installed XP SP2 on laptop. Installation of SP3, to 50%, battery dies the laptop right in the middle of the installation of the SP3 update. Restarted, XP starts with black screen with cursor only. ERD restart order and restore XP to the last known good config (I choose point immediately after XP clean install). Reboot to XP. Now the wallpaper shows as well as the error message saying "Explorer.exe Application error, click OK to exit Explorer" dialog and then I can't access anything. Any ideas?

  • Problem with recently added after the restoration of library

    Hello

    I recently had to restore the hard drive of my Macbook and have added my entire music library on my external hard drive to iTunes.

    I have all my music again, which is great, but now in the 'Library' section main iTunes is falsely list my entire as library recently added...

    which is obviously not the case. Unfortunately, at the moment, this useful feature otherwise is inaccurate and visually distracting.

    Is it possible to Edit / manage the recently added music section "library" in the same way as with the "smart playlist" added recently?

    Preferably, I would like to be able to personally manage what is considered "recent" in days, weeks, months, years, etc.

    I don't think that the Act of restoration should make me powerless to manage my content.

    If you are in the same situation or that you know a way to fix this, please consider offering your contribution.

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    The rules relating to the recently added playlist look like this:

    (although they did on Windows XP)

    Add another rule such as Date added is after . Change the initial rule Date added for everyone.

  • WARNING: iCloud library deletes the original photos on Mac

    Recently, I turned on the library to iCloud in the Photos app preferences. I chose the option "Download this Mac originals," not "optimize Mac memory" so all my original full quality photos will remain on my Mac and probably be safe. After uploading to the cloud ended (took a while), I made a backup of my Mac using Retrospect. I noticed that a lot (almost all by the number of GB) photos were being backed up, what happens if the file or its attributes modified. I was wondering why to send photos to the cloud would change my photo files. I decided to review individual cases to see if there were differences from the original versions. (Luckily, I had a clone of my HD last week, which had all my photos some before iCloud photo library has been activated.) So I could compare the originals on the clone for the pictures changed on my Mac's hard drive.)

    To find files modified more easy, I used sync Pro, which gives me a list of files that it thinks are different. I discovered that more than 150 of my 9500 photos have been deleted after turning on iCloud photo library! It was shocking, but it is good news.

    I have carefully reviewed the photos maybe a decade or two that had been deleted. If they had any duplicates which were not deleted. In other words, apparently Photos, trying to send photos to iCloud, reviewed my photos and remove duplicates from my hard drive. By comparing these duplicates, I have found not all were an exact replica, as follows.

    • Several photos appear to be identical files with the same size and file modification dates. Actually duplicates, thus eliminating one is without real loss, although I don't like deletions of software that Apple all of my original photos at first.
    • Some 'duplicates' had different size files. It's relative. In all these cases, examine photos of GraphicConverter revealed that Photos had deleted the photo of lower quality, depending on the quality of compression ratio or %. (The photo of lower quality is not always a smaller file size.)
    • Some "double" had same file sizes but different modification dates. I think that, in these cases, pictures kept the old file, which would probably be the original.
    • Some have had different file size and date to change different.  In these cases the Photos deleted the photo of lower quality.

    Based on examination of a small percentage of the total number of deleted duplicates, Photos seem to be taken of intelligent decisions on how to remove duplicate.

    What I don't know, is how or why most photo changed during the download process to iCloud, such files as revealed by Retrospect. But looking at my photos, I did not notice any obvious problems.

    Implementation of Apple to iCloud library caused similar problems when I tried first. He changed most of my files of songs (according to retrospective). When this happened, I have restored the original files of the song from a backup and off the musical library to iCloud. I gave Apple several months for bugs and the week last tried railway. This time, it seems to go smoothly and none of my songs files have been changed. Now I'm enjoyimg music Apple and the possibility to add streaming music to my playlists.

    I like to be able to view my pictures on all my Apple devices, and when the next tvOS comes out soon, I'll be able to view my library on my Apple TV iCloud too. So I won't restore all my photos from a backup, then off iCloud photo library. Here's hoping that I find out later that one of my favorite photos are definitely missing or altered.

    El Capitan 10.11.3

    1.3 photos

    iMac (24 inch, early 2009)

    Based on examination of a small percentage of the total number of deleted duplicates, Photos seem to be taken of intelligent decisions on how to remove duplicate.

    I noticed similar symptoms.  When I import a picture that is a duplicate of one already in my library of Photos, both copies will share the same original image file in the folder of masters. Photos allows you to import duplicates, but will store only one version. This makes it almost impossible to replace JPEG corrupted by the restored versions of a backup.

    You can watch iCloud checking for duplicates while you download new photos. Launch the Console.app and look for the process 'photomodell '. You will see many entries like this:

  • iPhone only 6 more will not go back to iCloud even after full restoration proposed by Apple

    My iPhone Plus 6 had not saved on iCloud since November so I called Apple support.  As I had tried all the logical ideas, they suggest backup on Mac and then by removing everything and restore the Mac.  Now, but the phone will still not back up to iCloud.  iPad has no problem is not a wifi problem.  Any help gratefully received.

    You have tried some of the following:

    Please check that your device is correctly connected to the wireless internet (settings > wifi) and is plugged into a power source, check also that you have enough space in iCloud for your back upward.

    You can check the space available in settings > iCloud > storage and the space needed for the next backup to the settings > iCloud > storage > managing storage > backups > appliance > Back Up Options > next backup size (wait for the spinning until the gear icon).

    Assuming that you are eligible for iCloud upward, you should try a forced first stop, hold down the buttons side in top and home together until the unit stops, then restart by pressing the side/up button.

    Then, try to connect the device to a new location (different WiFi network)

    If your backup continues to fail, you can try to disable the backup on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > BackUp), reboot the device and then turn on BackUp on new.

    If it does not help disable backup again, remove your existing back to the top of the settings > iCloud > storage > managing storage > backup > appliance (scroll down) > delete backup, restart the device and then turn on BackUp.

    If you are unable to make a return to the top, try to connect on iCloud (settings > iCloud (scroll down) > Sign Out (you will need to enter your password at this point), restart the device and sign in iCloud to settings > iCloud.)

    The next thing to try would be to restore your network settings. (Settings > General > reset > reset network settings)

    Reset your network settings will erase your cell phones and wireless network settings, including saved networks, passwords for wifi and VPN settings, that you can use. It will affect to the Internet but will not be an impact on telephone services because these settings are automatically configured by your carrier. It may take a few moments to enter again all your network settings, but it shouldn't cause you any major problems. If you are comfortable re - enter your network settings, you can try this step earlier in the troubleshooting procedure, i.e. after the forced shutdown suggested above.

    If this does not help, try to disable some elements for the back upward in a model to try to establish if your problem is caused by specific data on your device. You can do it with settings > iCloud > storage > managing storage > backup > this device > Back Up Options.

    If you are still not able to perform a backup from iCloud, you can try to restore your phone which you should do by making an iTunes backup via your computer and restore from that.

    Be able to go back to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you have access to a computer or rarely have access to one, however unless you need specifically to use iCloud to go back, you'll find a backup on iTunes much more convenient and possibly more reliable. However if you save up to iTunes be sure to encrypt the back upward if you want to keep your data on health and passwords etc.

  • What happens when you disable and remove iCloud library after 30 days?

    Hello Apple, so today I disabled and deleted iCloud library in my settings, I wanted to know if the application is deleted from your phone after 30 days, to take pictures with your camera what happens after 30 days, and if after 30 days you turn on iCloud Photo library of back?

    If you just stopped synchronization, photos should remain on the device. The 30 days, you mentioned is that if you remove the device. The application will remain even if you delete all the photos. If after 30 days you turn on synchronization, all photos will be synchronized.

  • Cannot open the pictures library after the data transfer to my new macbook

    I transferred all my data from my old MacBook Air to my new MacBook Pro via a restore from time machine.

    My first time to open my library on my News Photos Photos of MacBook says that he must perform the restore procedure (see screenshot in German language).

    After the confirmation of this message Photos responds with a message telling me that it can't open the library (see screenshot in German language). The message to distinguish basically says Photos tried to fix the library, but it was impossible to open it.

    Any ideas that I could do to fix this problem?

    Thanks, Gregor

    Try saving the photo library and hold down the command and option keys while pictures of launch and repair the library it - that sometimes seems to be more successful
