Aperture and iCloud storage

Any idea how I can up,oad images from an Aperture library to iCloud storage? So far I've managed to get some photos to transfer by selecting jPegs and then dragging to the iCloud window. But, apart from being incredibly slow, all I get is a few (up to 20 out of 97) photos transferred. They aren't in any particular order (i.e. not consecutive and not starting with the first image in the set) and it's different images each time I try.
THanks

You're welcome!
It is not yet possible to store a photo library in iCloud. You can share photos (My Photo Steam or shared abums), but trying to put your aperture Library on iCloud Drive will damage it.
iCloud Drib´ve is very different from other cloud storage and that may be confusing. It is not an external storage, and it is not a backup medium.
See: iCloud Drive FAQ
It is meant as a central storage to keep all files updated across all devices. The recent problem with the iCloud servers may have contributed to your problem: Apple - Support - System Status

What happens to my apps, iTunes card, and iCloud storage if I change my Apple ID?

What happens to my apps, iTunes card, and iCloud storage if I change my Apple ID?

Depends upon what you mean by change.
If you update your existing account to have a new primary email address then you shouldn't lose any of the account's past purchases, balance, or iCloud storage - you may have to log out of the old version of your account by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version, and similarly for iCloud (Settings > iCloud > Sign Out).
If you create a new account then your existing account's purchases, balance and iCloud storage will remain tied to the existing account, you can't transfer them to a new account or merge the new account with the old one.

I have the IPhone, IPad and MacBook, IPad and IPhone share the same Apple ID and Icloud storage. Cannot make ID Change on MacBook as it says the ID is already taken. How can I make all three match?

The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
and the iTunes Match services.
(I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
and
iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

Am in Europe (UK) with iPad. Comput er(Mac) at home. Bandought videos and iCloud storage, but still can not download all the videos. How can I get them to store in the cloud and come out a gain to my iPad? Need something to watch at night,etc. tx

Hi all. I. Bought videos from iTunes and also bought the lowest amount of extra iCloud storage. I assumed the videos could be stored in the cloud and called back automatically to the iPad when I needed them. They won't all download, Apple hasn't answered my call for help via e mail, and I don't know what to do. I deleted stuff from the iPad and got rid of some of the videos I'm not watching (hoping to maybe download them again later on).
I don't get how the Cloud works, and I don't really know which article to read for info. HELP?
thanks,
Isabella

Not all video is available for redownload.
Purchasing more icloud storage has nothing to do with itunes purchases.
Itunes purchases ( the ones that are made available for redownload) are automatically available in icloud. you do not have to purchase any icould storage for this.
You should not delete anything. you should always have a backup copy.
Movies are only available for redownload in the U.S:
Learn more about which content types are supported for iTunes in the Cloud by country, as well as where iTunes Match is available.

Whats the difference in regular storage and icloud storage?

Trying to download i0s 7my iphone 4 says not enough storage, go to manage storage. I upped my icloud storage thinking, this would do the trick and increase reg storage. Puzzled.

What you call regular storage is storage that is in the device. iCloud storage is on the network and not in the device.
In order to download iOS 7, you need sufficent storage in the device.
Storage on the network or iCloud storage will not work for that purpose.
You might try do the upgrade to iOS 7 by connecting you iPhone to your computer then doing the upgrade from iTunes. By doing that storage on your computer will be used instead of on your iPhone. This will reduce the amount of storage needed.

OSx 10.10.3 Photos app and iCloud storage

What does OSx 10.10.3 Photo app do if iCloud is enabled and photo library exceeds size if iCloud storage?

thank you for the fat response
actually on system preferences it says 52.8gb of photos and videos
and on photos app 70.47gb
when i go to photos app in finder and go to "show package" and then get info for the folder "Masters" it says 55.45gb
a bit weird but according to the thing you mentioned obviously the uploading process involved uploading specific parts of my library and not the whole thing

Difference between iPhoto and Aperture and photo storage

I'm thinking about upgrading from iPhoto to Aperture but I'm a little confused about the differences in the way photo edits are handled. The iPhoto to Aperture page says that Aperture stores photo changes in one photo rather than duplicating them, therefore taking up less space. BUT they also use a unified shared library. So how is it possible for Aperture to handle edits differently if the library is now shared between the two applications?

Aperture may save you some space if you choose not to generate previews, but then you won't be able to integrate with other apps.
As Terence Devlin says. But being able to manage the Previews is quite a space saver. In Aperture you can selectively generate previews only for the photos that you want to share with other applications, and you can specify the size and quality of the previews you want. iPhoto on the other hand will always create previews for all photos, and all in very high quality. In Aperture I delete previews for redundant photos and keep the previews only for my highest ratest photos that I am likely to share with other applications and want to use as a screensaver or slideshow.
If you share your photo library between Aperture and iPhoto and edit a photo in iPhoto, then iPhoto will add a preview for this photo, even if you disabled previews in Aperture.

Hi folks -ipad2 and iCloud storage....

I've taken the plunge and have come over from the darkside and bought my first Mac device!
I have a 16gb iPad2 and I want to use it primarily for photo work. I use Nikon DSLR cameras and want to load pics onto the 'pad (via the camera connection SD card reader), retouch and upload to iCloud to store them indefinitely in full resolution. I would then delete them from the 'pad (with the originals still on the SD card, which is backed up elsewhere) Is this possible? I don't think I want to make use of photostream's rolling access as I do not have any other mac devices. I guess I'll have to buy more storage? That's no problem though.
Am I on the right track here? Be gentle as I'm a mac newbie!!
TLG

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately, iCloud does not offer that sort of storage solution. You might try a third party solution such as dropbox or sugarsync. The iPad will do everything else through the new iPhoto app.

Match and iCloud storage limit

My iCloud account for the first time has sent me a message saying that my storage has reached it's limit; also advising that my iPhone can not be backed up any longer. Is my service with iTunes Match affected by this status, meaning that Match also cannot take on any more files from my iTunes?

Hi Jimzgoldfinch:
I have two simple questions about iTunesMatch: Can you check on how much it currently being stored in Match or do you just have to wait until they notified you that it's at the limit. Also, whenever I get new music I put in my own label for genre - I also sometimes change the date to be to the original vinyl release instead of the "incorrect" CD date, though I never change the actual name of the song file. Does changing this information make Match think of the file as a distinct file that they do not have and thus must be uploaded into my memory space or can Match determine a match even though I've changed some of the info on the file?

ICloud photo library and iCloud storage

How do I clear up my iCloud photo library because I uploaded all my photos to my Mac so they're safe and I deleted a lot from my phone because I had no use for them since they're on my computer but I still have like no storage on my iCloud. So is it best that I turn off I loud library to clear and then after 30 days turn it back on ?

yeah, I don't think they are allowing you to do this. You can only optimize the locally stored photos, and if the phone fills up with those, it will then dump some from your phone but keep them in the cloud. Like you, I was hoping that once you store a photo in iCloud, you could remove the local copy of the photo. and worse, if you do start deleting photos from your phone, it sounds like they automatically get deleted off of the cloud, after 30 days that is. Doesn't make sense to me. Finally, on your mac, if you have more photos than you have iCloud photo storage, it just stops syncing, rather than just storing your most recent pics?!?

Aperture and iCloud - what happens to MobileMe galleries?

Anyone have any insight on whether icloud will host aperture photo galleries?

It is absolutely, inequitably wrong for Apple to to abandon all the MobileMe users with its faltered plan to discontinue the service. Synching aside, it was and is the best and most economical way to share files and data for small companies like mine. I was screwed when Apple discontinued dotMac after having spent days and weeks developing a web site utilizing the now defunct service. I purchase the 60GB plan at roughly $200.00 per year and It's like DejaVu all over again. Shame on you Apple if you stop supporting this wonderful product.
I remember a company that was once proud to say "We think outside the box!"
If that were true, then you would not pull the carpet out from under us again and again.
The following info "Information about the MobileMe transition" Last Modified: June 06, 2011 Article: HT4597 is useless for planning my future business moves.
Summary
What's happening to MobileMe?
Effective June 6, 2011, if you had an active MobileMe account, your service has been automatically extended through June 30, 2012, at no additional charge. After this, the MobileMe service will no longer be available.
Products Affected
MobileMe
What will happen to the content I have on MobileMe?
Apple has announced a new service called iCloud which will be available this fall and free for iOS 5 and OS X Lion users. When you sign up for iCloud, you'll be able to keep your me.com or mac.com email address and move your MobileMe mail, contacts, calendars, and bookmarks to the new service.
When iCloud becomes available this fall, more details and instructions will be provided on how to make the move.
Can I create a new MobileMe account?
You can no longer create a new 60-day trial account or start a new subscription using a code contained in a MobileMe box. However, if you have a Family Pack subscription, you can still create new family member accounts
I think "alansky1" has the right idea:
Please visit the MobileMe Feedback Page and let Apple know how you feel about this issue. It may do no good, but it certainly can't hurt.

Aperture and icloud

I am an Aperture user and realize that MobileMe and related galleries will go away soon. I've learned that journals publised via my iPad/iPhoto will publish in iCloud, much like galleries currently publish via MobileMe. Is there a way to publish in iCloud through Aperture. My SmugMug account is expiring and I prefer to go the iCloud/Aperture route for sharing journals, but can't duplicate the process I discovered with iPad/iPhoto. Any guidance or suggestions is appreciated.
Wm.

Roger,
Thank you fr the clarification. Do you have any thoughts or recommendations re how to handle gallery sharing going forward? Again, I am just trying to determine if there is an Apple solution before renewing my SmugMug subscription.
Thanks.

Macbook Pro and iCloud storage questions/help

Hi all, Im needing help here as my Macbook Pro has become extremely slow and sluggish, is this because there is too much stored on it? Having iCloud should help take extra room up on the Macbook should it not?
Just general help and advice regarding these matters would be appreciated.

iCloud is a syncing facility, not a separate storage one, and any data on iCloud is duplicated on your Mac. You would do better to buy an external hard disk and use it to store bulky data such as media files.

Calendar and iCloud storage

In Calendar, an exclamation point appears beside my iCloud calendars, showing the message 'there is insufficient storage space for account iCloud'. Yet if I go to Settings-iCloud the display tells me that I'm using 3.17 GB of my 5 GB allowance. I'd happily pay for more storage, if necessary, but can't believe that my iCloud calendars take up 1.83 GB.

HT4847 Don't understand the purpose of icloud storage

Hello,
Maybe I'm alone on this one, but even after reading Apple's articles on iCloud and iCloud storage, I don't understand the purpose of it. I am only using 23.5 of a 25 Go storage (all of it is backup of all my apps and files (not sure the movies and music is covered even though the iPad general setting info implies this since I'm in Europe) and yet, if I delete the app files from the iPad, I also delete them from the cloud. So for instance, I want to update to the latest iOS and it says I'm short 312 Mo and need to delete stuff from the iPad.
If I understand correctly, the only way to do this safely is to make sure a duplicate is on my PC via iTunes. So then what do I need the iCloud extra storage for (for which I am paying)? Is this like a SkyDrive or Dropbox or not???
Please someone clear this up in simple, step-by-step type language. I feel like I'm getting a round around when I read or take to Apple folks via email. Thanks in advance!

Movies, music and apps are not part of your back ups, they are all available already on Apples servers as part of the iTunes Store. Backups consist of settings, photos and other data which cannot be obtained from elsewhere.
iCloud is not general online storage like Dropbox, in addition to back ups it keeps all your app data from apps such as contacts, calendars etc so it can be accessed by all your devices and keep them in sync. But in keeping with the mobile system structure the data is accessed through the app rather than a folder structure.
