Why so much photo shows on iPhone if I iCloud?

I shows that I have more than 17 GB of photos on my iPhone.  Why do I have so much storage taken up so I use iCloud photo library and I also have optimize enabled on my iPhone?

Dynamic optimization, it reduces the resolution of your photos, if necessary, so that you don't notice it occurring initially. However, when necessary, it is very effective, and users have reported libraries being optimized for much less than 10% of their original size in some cases. My own library is about 9% of its original on my phone size.

    My iPhone is full and I wanted to remove some photo to release some spaceso I supported the up to iCloud and I started to remove photos. ***? They are endangered to iCloud!

    What are the parameters for iCloud > Photos on your iPhone?  Is iCloud library enabed storage "optimize"?

    Then, your photos are actually in iCloud and not all photos can be imported from your iPhone.

    If iCloud library is not enabled, the photos on your iPhone could have been synced to the iPhone via iTunes.  Photos you sync with iTunes on your iPhone are not in the film and you can not download using a USB connection.

    • Photos shows the iPhone connected?
    • Photos shows not all photos in the import Panel?
    • Capture of images shows the photos on the iPhone?

    A common reason for the Photos.app does not display the iPhone for importation could be iCloud photo library.  If iCloud library is enabled on the iPhone, can not show at all only a few pictures, because photos are stored on iCloud and not on your iPhone.

  • Why the 75 GB of videos on the iPhone when I iCloud, photo sharing on?

    I'm sure Im missing something, but I thought the whole point of iCloud, photo sharing was photos and videos to publish servers iCloud and you download the photos high resolution or video streams as required. However, 75 GB of videos is on my iPhone. I got iCloud, sharing photos over many months. I currently have 200 GB of storage, take Photos and videos, 154 GB and theres about 45 GB free. I have all the movies or TV shows from the iTunes store than sync.

    (Maybe wrong), I assumed it would just automatically happen, and I wouldn't have to worry about filling my memory of iPhones.

    If you use iCloud photo library and if you have settings > iCloud > Photos > Optimize iPhone storage enabled, optimized for the smaller versions will be kept on your phone "If your iPhone is low on space" (this quote is from the screen of the settings above). Does not the validation of the amount of free space on your phone, but optimization can not occur if space is not needed.

  • Live photo showing 2 different files in photos app on mac!

    Hello

    I recently imported photos from my iphone to my Mac using photos for OSX app. But after graduating successfully imported it shows me two different elements i.e. photo itself & a short video. So for my 300 live photos it's show me 300 photos and 300 videos.

    So why it shows two different files, I suppose, that it should show only direct photo because it shows on my iPhone.

    I also tried to repair the library command to open the photos app, but it did not work. Help, please!

    Thank you

    Amar

    Live webcam picture is two files, a picture and a video - what it is

    where are you seeing the two files?

    If you really have OS X 10.10.1 and Photos 1.0 as you say then that's the problem - you are updated to eleven or twelve behind and these updates included support Live Photo - you must upgrade to El Captain OS X 10.11.6 and Photos 1.5

  • Deleting photos on an iPhone 6 after importing Photos

    I used 6 (iOS 9.2.1) photos to import photos from my iPhone but can't seem to delete them from my phone because I'm running out of space. I can't find an option in Photos for me to do. I use iCloud library but tired of receiving messages telling me I am out of space and need to buy more. I was using the iPhone Optimize Storage option, so when I try to turn off iCloud, he tells me I'm losing photos. I guess that it space to store all of the photos uploaded to iCloud original is much more than the space I have left on my phone. So why would I back up my photos to a photo library. Yes, I could go through frame by frame making sure that they are all there, but there are more than 2500 and would prefer to delete automatically the picures copied after importation. Make sense?

    Import Photos Panel has a check "Remove items after importing" below the toolbar. If you enable this, before importing items, they will be automatically deleted.

    You don't see this check box, because you have activated on your iPhone photo library iCloud.  As long as you use iCloud photo library, the Mac cannot delete the photos, because they are stored in iCloud and only mirrored on your iPhone.

    "Remove items after importation" is to risk anyway. I would not use this option. First, it is safer to check if the import was successful before deleting the photos from the iPhone.  Sometimes it happens that photos will be removed from the device, even if the import was not successful.

    So why would I back up my photos to a photo library. Yes, I could go through frame by frame making sure that they are all there, but there are more than 2500 and would prefer to delete automatically the picures copied after importation. Make sense?

    Since all the pictures are in the library of iCloud, download them by creating a new library of Photos on your Mac and enable it in your library to iCloud.  It will download all photos in iCloud.

    You are you sure, that all the photos are safely on your Mac, disable iCloud photo library on your iPhone.  Then you can connect the iPhone to a USB port and use Image Capture to remove all the photos from the iPhone.

    You can also download pictures from iCloud by using the web interface of your iCloud to www.icloud.com account.  Launch the Photos.app on this page and select the photos to download.

  • Import photos from 6s iPhone to Mac

    If I import film of 6 of my iPhone in the Photos of my Mac app, shouldn't these pictures already be in the Photos app if I enabled the iCloud photo library?

    If you have iCloud library enabled on the iPhone and the Mac, Yes, all photos must transfer icloud library of Photos for Mac via the network.  The download may take some time, and you need a Wi - Fi connection.

    See: iCloud Photo library FAQ - Apple Support

    When you turn on iCloud photo library on your Mac or iOS device, your photos and videos will download once you connect to the Internet with a Wi - Fi connection and your battery is charged. You can see the status and pause the download for a day, when you do the following:

    • On your iOS device, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos.
    • On your Mac, click on Photos > Preferences > iCloud.

    Depending on your Internet connection speed, the time it takes for your photos and videos to appear on the Photos app on iCloud and all your devices can vary. Make sure you put on iCloud photo library on each device.

    You need only to upload photos via the USB connection, if you do not have access to Wi - Fi for long periods.

    Why do you ask?  Are pictures showing as news, that are already on your Mac?
