When storing photos on iCloud to use space on the iPhone too?

I have an iPhone 6 Plus.  If I store photos in iCloud there also use space on my iPhone? The reason why I ask is because I have a friend who has a Samsung phone and it has several thousand pictures on this topic, but it can install an SD card inside the phone and is where his photos. It uses no space on his phone.  I wonder if I can do the same thing using iCloud?

iCloud is a synchronization system, not an external 'hard drive '. If you remove them on your device, they will remove icloud. To increase the available space, go settings/iCloud/Photos and select optimize iPhone/iPad storage. That will reduce the space required by 90% when it is fully effective. There is no SD card option.

    I have a couple of server 08 R2 machines where the P to V conversion fails.  I did some research and the problem seems to be related to the system reserved Partition that has 0% available 100 MB free space.  Conversion fails with the error below.

    VSS snapshots cannot be stored because there is not enough space on the source volumes or because the source computer has not all NTFS volumes. Error code:
    2147754783 (0x8004231F).


    Someone had this problem and came to the top with a solution or to get around?


    Thanks in advance

    Guessed it.  My snapshots Appassure did not also exist with a similar error, so that's what I did to solve it.  My servers now converted without any problem.

    1. Open disk management.
    2. Look at the partition of the PRS and see if it is 100% full.
      • If Yes, proceed to step 3.
      • If this is not the case, check if there are readers who have no more of 300 MB free (minimum requirement to use VSS).
    3. Click a drive, select properties and then select the instant snapshots tab.
    4. Ensure that all shadow copies are disabled and no limit on all players.
    5. Go to the partition of the SRP and assign the B:drive letter.
    6. Open the B: drive via disk management, and then locate the folder System Volume Information. Note: if necessary, change the folder options so that you can view hidden files, folders and drives.
    7. Right-click the System Volume Information folder, and then select Properties.
    8. On the Security tab, click Edit, and then add the group with full control everyone in the folder.
    9. Open the System Volume Information folder (you should see log files are full), open a running as an administrator command prompt and then type the following commands to unload the filter driver.
      • B:
      • B:\>FLTMC UNLOAD AAFSFLT
    10. Navigate to the System Volume Information folder, and then type the following commands:
      • B:\>CD System Volume Information
      • B:\System Volume Information > AALOG_ DEL * (this will remove all of the log files, and then re-create a new)
      • B:\System Volume Information > CD\
      • B:\>FLTMC LOAD AAFSFLT
    11. Close the command prompt window.
    12. In Windows, right click on the reserve system folder and remove the Group everyone.
    13. In Disk Manager, remove the B: drive (and click Yes when prompted with a warning window).

  • activation lock (iphone 6s) told my MAID ID Apple"cannot be used to unlock the iphone. »

    I reset my phone to delete all data and settings. Don't want to sell I just did this because I wanted to clear space and I have always done this way without any problems. Once I reset it asked me to choose my language and country, then WiFi. After I walked in that I see the lock of the Activation screen. I get my Apple ID, I used with this phone and password and he told me '[email protected]' cannot be used to unlock the iPhone. "After you enter my apple ID and password several times, I tried using past apple ID and they no longer work. I don't know what to do, I tried to remove my camera of find my iPhone after I saw that as an option in the face of this problem, and that didn't work either because my phone showed "offline". Help, please.

    When you went to iCloud.com since a desktop browser and saw the device as long as it is in offline mode, do you have it removed from your account? You should be able to do after you have selected the delete option (even if it is in offline mode) or in the drop devices, there should be an 'X' next to your device. After that, reboot your device and start implementing screens.

    Do your you're on Wi-Fi good during the editing process. Bottom line, a manager of the Apple Store may remove the lock, but you'll need a receipt.

  • keep the photos in icloud, but remove them from the iOS device?

    Hi, need help to keep my old photos in the cloud, then to remove them from my iphone device. I can also keep on my mac but still once, how can I make sure that when I delete from my iphone I can still access them in the cloud or on my big Mac? My phone is getting to the maximum it can hold up to now need to move them to a storage for later viewing device, editing or other.

    Thank you

    You cannot store pictures on iCloud and remove them from your device. Remove them on the phone also icloud removes them. You can set for storage optimized on your device that compresses the resolution of the device stored photos, keep the originals in iCloud.

    If you want to be able to todelete pictures from your phone and store them elsewhere, you must use subscription such as Dropbox cloud storage or store them on your computer.

  • How to create the new library of Photos to iCloud without it merging with the former?

    I started my iCPL in January 2015. It is now 104 Gb/8000 photos. In a year I need to upgrade my plan of storage iCloud.

    So I think I would make the existing one a regular photo library, and start a new photo library iCloud.

    If I start a new library now and make the iCPL, merge it with the existing iCPL. I want to replace the existing in iCloud.

    I could do (I think): -.

    1. make the existing a non-iCPL and rename it.

    2. create a new lib Photos and make the library system iCloud.

    3. the new library (empty) will download and merge with the former in iCloud, so it contains now 8000 photos of the original lib.

    4. delete all the 8000 photos in the new.

    5. start put new photos in the photo library now empty iCloud.

    Is there a better way? I do it too difficult?

    I can see what I've described above taking a long time to settle on all devices, even if I can avoid 30 day waiting by removing the deleted record recently.

    Thank you

    You use "Optimize Mac Storage" on your Mac? Then, you will need to make sure that all the photos to download to your Mac before you copy your current library corresponding to your backup disk and start deleting iCloud.  Is there enough free storage on your Mac to do this?

    I would also like to than my thin iCloud library. My iCloud library has only my favorite photos of many years, I want on all my devices as well as the most recent photos that I'm still trying. Because the iCloud library must be the library system, only in iCloud library photos are available in the media for other applications browser, so I keep all the photos here that I can use in other applications.

    What I do to save bandwidth and download time is to have two libraries:

    1. A large library where I keep all the photos I want to keep - it's my photo archives. This library is on an external drive that is supported by Time Machine and is currently still an Aperture library.
    2. A smaller library iCloud in my pictures folder.

    I import new photos first to the iCloud library, remove all the bad moves that do not need archiving, then I export the originals at the library of the archives.

    And then I start editing the photos in the library to iCloud and learn by removing and keeping only the best photos.

  • Moved from my library of Photos to iCloud by car and now the pictures will not open it...

    I thought being smart and transfer my library of Photos to iCloud by car so I can access all my devices, but now the pictures won't open it. I hold down the Option key when starting the Photos and told to open the library moved in my world of iCloud drive. He complains about the library in an incompatible format (or something similar). If I move just back off iCloud drive to any where in my regular Finder file system then pictures is perfectly fine opening of the library. What the heck! Anyone know what is happening or that seemingly obvious thing does not work why?

    Yes... I think the library should be 'local' to your Mac. It can live on a USB key and maybe even a network drive, but I do not expect any level of performance with her on the cloud. If you think you can avoid to keep your phone synchronized with iCloud and still have access to all of your library, it won't work.

    Apple don't tell you not to do it, but they said this without mentioning iCloud drive...

  • Cannot take account of 11.5 GB used space on the drive "C".

    Hi, I have a Dell Dimension 5150 with an internal drive. Win XP SP3. According to 'My computer' 'C' drive is GB 229 with free = 156 GB 73 GB used. That's what it also shows when I check 'properties' for drive 'C '.

    I checked the 'properties' of what I see on the drive "C" (from Windows Explorer - properties) and when I add I just only 62 GB used. So, I can't explain for about 11 GB of used space.

    Does this sound right? I show the 'hidden' files, so they are taken into account. All the ideas that I can't see?

    Thanks for any help/tips

    I'd be interested to see a report of Disk Defragmenter. Open Disk Defragmenter and click analysis. Select view report, and then click Save as and save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents folder. Open the file, place the cursor anywhere in the file, select Edition, select all to select all the text and copy and paste into the body of your message. To do this, before you run Disk Defragmenter because it is more informative.

    Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter

    Using the system restore option is most appropriate when your system is slow and you need to increase the free disk space on your C partition. If you have errors that could be solved by using the system restore to your system settings back to before that the error occurred initially, do not use this option.

    Select Start, Control Panel, Folder Options, view, advanced settings and check the box in front of "show files and folders" and 'Hide protected operating system files' are unchecked. You may need to scroll down to see the second element. You should also make sure that the box before "Hide extensions of known file types" is not checked. Notwithstanding, there are some files that are hidden. Again, you will not see the System Volume Information folder.

    Access to the System Volume Information folder

    Some files to hide the backup software and these can be very large. Usually, they fragment and so will appear in the list of more than Fragment files in a Disk Defragmenter report.

    Some security software also hides files. Symantec may have started this practice when they first introduced Protected Storage. Others followed, then consider this option if you do not find the reason of an unexplained gap during reconciliation occupied disk space more saved disk space for the capacity of the disk.

  • RDM use space on the store data or SAN

    Dear all,

    According to my understanding, RDM creates a mapping file in the data store in the folder of the virtual machine, but it consumes all of the space on the data store, but yes, on SAN. I have a virtual machine with 50 GB vmdk and a physical RDM 50 GB, the machine's memory is 8 GB so vsphere client, seems space put into service for machine to 108. So it means that 50 GB of RDM is also included in funded space shown in vsphere client.

    The same look at space of data store, the space of data store configured showing also 50 GB RDM counted in the space provided, where, as the data must be on the SAN, can someone explain why in the data store space calculation as rdm as space accrued on himself.

    Please let me know if my question is not clear.

    Thank you

    As the rdm file uses no space disk (only a few bytes of the header/descriptor file), the disk space is still available for other virtual machines.

    André
