icloud photo library

Hello all, I have a weird thing going on where I have both my Photos Library backing up to the iCloud backup and the iCloud photo library is turned on too... It was my understanding that this should not happen, and it is also stated as such in Apple’s support documentation. My question is...

Hi there I am using the iCloud Photo Library with about 30k photos. The face analysis on my iMac, iPhone and iPad was no problem but somehow on my MacBook it does not want to run properly. I was running it in background for the last few days and now it has only analysed about 3000 out of the...

Hi guys. I found something odd with my storage on iCloud Photo Library—my phone is set to keep originals which are 277 photos and 0 videos, taking up 703MB of storage. The odd thing is that my iCloud space says my Photos are taking 1.1GB which does not match what the local storage reports. I...

So I noticed my Photos weren't updating from my iPhone to my MacBook Pro and when I went to the iCloud preferences under System Preferences I noticed that Photos is unchecked. I tried to turn it on, but it hangs at "Checking Library" and refuses to turn on. I tried logging out of iCloud and back...

Hello! I'm new to this forum. I was getting annoyed with all of the "storage almost full" settings so I turned to a website that said to turn off icloud photo library, and so I did; thinking it would do nothing. But then, when I went back into my Photos app only pictures saved from safari showed...

I've been on iOS 10 (Public Beta) since it came out, and it's great, except for one issue. It's gotten rid of all my free space. At the time of installation, I had about 1.3 GB of free storage. I now have "Zero KB" coming up on the display, despite the fact I deleted a number of apps earlier...

Been using iCloud Photo Library for awhile now... Upgraded to the 1TB plan a few months ago as I had gone over 200GB. I've been using "Optimize Storage" on all devices for awhile but stopped trusting Apple so much and decided I should have a good local copies well. I set up Photos on another...

Hi all, I'm in the process of uploading all my photos from my Mac to iCloud so I can look at them on my Apple TV, iPad etc. It would be nice to have access to the photos on my phone but as far as I know when iCloud Photo Library is enabled on the phone it'll send my phone photo library to the...

Apple seems to be pushing iOS devices as a main computing platform, and without connecting to a PC or Mac the best way to store photos seems to be iCloud Photo Library. But the best I can find is that they still recommend a PC or Mac to back up the library. So there's no real way to drop the PC...

i just bought a 256GB iPad Pro, and have iCloud Photo set to download originals to the device (not "Optimize Storage") ... Unfortunately, the iPad doesn't actually download anything other than a preview thumbnail unless I view the images, one by one. This is in contrast to Photos on MacOS, which...

Are there any rumours on new features in iCloud Photos for the next big software update (iOS and OS X) this year? I'm considering moving my iCloud Photo library to Google Photos where one of the big advantages is that both my girlfriend and I are able to use the same Photo library without...

I apologize if this has been covered before ad nauseam, but I can't seem to get an accurate answer even from the Apple Store reps. In an alternate life, when Apple still had your Photostream as one album and your Camera Roll as another, you could delete a photo from your Camera Roll after it...

I have 41,000 photos on my iMac Photos library. I have an iPhone 6s and iPad Air (wifi only). Most photos are transferred when traveling to my iPad which then transmits them to Photostream when I have wifi access, usually in a hotel room. When I get home they are transferred via Photostream to...

Hello folks:) I've experienced a, in my opinion major, problem with the iCloud Photo Library. I love taking fotos (iPhone & Camera) and then add it to my library and edit them on my iPad/iPhone. Since iOS 9.3 (even in beta) the changes I made with the photos app and Snapseed won't made it to...

Hello all, So I have been contemplating switching on my iCloud Photo Library for the first time to use the space in the cloud (50GB / 23 used by backups which is including my camera roll) and my phone (64GB /500MB free) more efficiently. I have around 22GB of photos on my iPhone right now, I...

Okay, maybe I'm missing something. Here's the setup. iPhone 6+ iOS beta 9.3 (whatever the recent public release was), macbook pro OSX (10.11.3) duplicate photo fixer pro (comes into play later) I have iCloud Photo Library (full res stored, preview on devices checked) turned on for both my phone...

Hi, New to macs and not quite sure how iCloud Photo Library fits in with time machine backups. This is my set up: MacBook Pro with huge photos library. Fully backed up to iCloud Photo Library. Time machine backup to usb drive once a fortnight ish. What I'm not clear on is how the iCloud Photo...

Let me explain. Live Photos ARE syncing from my iPhone 6S to my other devices though iCloud Photo Library. However, I cannot see the "animation" in my iPad Air 2, only the "plain" image. This doesn't happen on OS X, where I can see the animations just fine. Also, note that if I send the image...
