Can I Get Help With This Perfect Photos Workflow?

I've switched over to Photos.
Set up iCloud photo library and seem to be forever uploading... After just over a week I'm still at 12k+ photos remaining to upload of around 18k total. At this rate I have over a month to wait for everything to complete!
The downside of this seems to be that photos taken on my iPhone - simply are not syncing to my Mac via the Photos App. The last iPhone photos are from April 8, since then I have taken around 40/50 more photos. On my phone they show as being uploaded, but nothing on my Mac.
On top of this issue, is it possible to cherry pick which albums etc I upload from my Mac to iCloud Photo Library?
Also, can I stop the upload of every single photo I have but still use iCloud to sync my iPhone photos back to my mac? The Photostream button is checked, but like I say photo syncing seems to have stopped in early April.
Finally, I have optimise storage checked on my iPhone for the photos that are being synced - yet each time I look at a photo is downloads the full res version. Is this the normal behaviour? I would have thought it simply created a smaller file size with a little less detail etc?! It's not really optimising storage if when I look at a synced album it then downloads every image...
Any help or guidance on how to set all this up correctly would be much appreciated!

I have the exact same "issue." I have 8000 more photos to upload to iCloud. My iPhone, iPad, and iCloud (on the website) sync perfectly. However, nothing I take with my iPhone or iPad, after I switched to Photos, goes to my Mac. I'm guessing that once my entire library (previously iPhoto) goes up to iCloud, then it'll add those newer photos as well. I think uploading old photos has a priority over adding newer photos recently taken.
I did a test and tried to make a new, separate Photos library and used it as the System Photo Library but did NOT import all my old iPhoto items, and the Mac synced perfectly. So let's see what happens after the uploading of everything from our old iPhoto library.
Good luck!

  • I have problem with my iphone 4s my battery is not keeping charge. how can I get help with this one. it is less than a year that I purchased this cell.

    I have problem with my iphone 4s my battery is not keeping charge. how can I get help with this one? it is less than a year that I purchased this cell.

    I would like to know the answer to that one.  I realized this was happening just after upgradeing my iOS to 6.  Then when I looked up my purchase date, I was about 5 days past my one year warranty.  So I'm dead in the water.  Apple will replace the battery, but it will be about $80+.  I took it to the Apple store, and they checked a bunch of stuff, but said that it seemed ok.  I'm debating getting a battery for a more reasonable price off of ebay.  But if it's the iOS thats draining the battery, then I'm not going to be able to help it.  I wish I knew a better way to tell if its the battery, the phone, or the iOS.

  • How can I get help with this?

    Hi There
    I am posting this here as my fiancé is pulling her hair out over Verizon's customer service (or lack of it).
    I'm from the UK, my fiancé came to visit me from Florida. Originally for 3 weeks then decided to stay for 6 months. I advised her to contact her cable and phone providers and let them know she was out of the country. She did. Verizon suspended her service and that was that.
    Until we got back...
    We have a bill for 300 dollars. For service we haven't used. She called Verizon and was informed her service had only been suspended for 3 months. Something she was absolutely not told when she made the call or something we asked for.
    The operator who took her call said she could only go by what the notes on the call said. Would not take any evidence from us (I can prove she was out of the country with assorted paperwork).
    They also claimed there had been calls made on the phone. Which is impossible as the handset was off and out of battery the entire time she was with me. The only thing I can think of is she has Google voice attached to that number and as soon as the number reactivated it started forwarding calls to her Google voice.
    Again this didn't occur to us as we were told her phone was deactivated.
    So I have one very cross fiancé. Who's fed up and doesn't want to call again as shes frustrated and upset. I am completely furious. I will be looking for a phone myself over here and I have been completely put off of Verizon.
    I have always praised US customer service as in the UK we don't do it very well. This however is really poor.
    If anyone can offer some advice I would really appreciate it.
    Thanks!

    You can only suspend service for 3 months at a time (with or without payment) and only twice a year.

  • Can I get help with this crash report please

    This is the crash ID
    Crash ID: bp-9d96e2ef-a87c-490d-9ad8-f644e2130205

    hello christhwaites, from the crash report you've submitted it seems like the crash is malware related. the malicious file on your pc causing the crash is named ''enrwsoca.dll'' (randomly generated filename).
    according to reports from other users it should be detected &removed by microsoft safety scanner and kaspersky security scan. please run a full scan with these products:

  • How can I get help with coverage issues at my home?

    My coverage is poor at my home.   Is there any way to get help with this?   Thanks.

    You can try a Samsung network extender ($249) which uses a high speed modem connection, or a signal booster from elsewhere ($250 and up) and that might help.

  • Can I get help with podcasts?  When I try to open the podcasts, itunes crashes, says "itunes has detected a problem and must close", or the spanish equivalent since my xp is in spanish.  everything else works fine, it even downloads podcasts and syncs.

    The only other thing I can suggest is to use the Repair option for iTunes.
    Download the iTunes programme (do not uninstall your current iTunes) and then "install" the new copy. At some stage you should see an option to "install" or "Repair". Take the Repair option.
    Once you've done that, if you still have a problem, I don't know what else to suggest, except to search through the discussions to see if anyone else has had the problem and managed to fix it.

    can i get help with 2 songs that i downloaded on my itunes? it didnt download, said there was an error and then is stuck at PURCHASED.

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store. 
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not downloading properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • Does anybody know how to get help with this one?

    Hello there!  
    I wanted to get an advice on how to get in touch with the appropriate person at BT that could help with my situation.
    I have tried telephone help, complaints by email and unfortunately still waiting for somebody from the customer services to help me out.
    I have recently moved home.  I contacted BT on 26th June to organise the line transfer to the new address. The date was set for 18th July. I also ordered line rental saver and paid for it over the phone. All went smooth, telephone and broadband was working fine at the new place, but on the 23rd July I was sent an email that "BT is sorry that I am leaving". 
    I thought it was a mistake, but the lady in the on-line chat said somebody stopped my service. Later she rang and left a message saying that I must have requested to move to another provider. Did not manage to speak to her again, but phoned the help line this time.
    There a gentleman was trying to convince me that I called BT and cancelled my service on the 18th July and to him I was not a BT customer anymore. The truth is that I did not request to stop my service, anyway - why would I do that after paying for a year in advance. This has no logic, but because computer says so then he thinks I did it.
    He also added that my account is a 'mess'. He then promised that somebody would get in touch to sort it out as my line rental was gone and my phone and internet could go off any minute.
    I did not get any help. After that I wrote to them  3 email complaints to request assistance. They called and aknowledge they will help, but 3 weeks down the line nothing was done to explain the situation. Left the messages to the person from email complaints to ring me or email me -never happened.
    Last week I got 2 emails welcoming me to BT and outlining the call plans that were diferent from each other and the one I agreed to on the 25th June. When I called help line 2 days ago a lady confirmed on which one I am on, but could not sort out the most annoying thing - the 'final' bill. 
    I was sent a bill for over 200 pounds due to premature termination of phone and broadband service , which I never ordered. They already took the money this week. My line saver is gone as well. So I am 360 pounds short. I aslo have no access to myBT to monitor my phone activity or make orders.They also did not send any confrimation of the call plan I am currently on.
    It is a very annoying situation, because somebody at BT made an error and I am unable to get to anybody that could help. Everytime you call the help line you speak to somebody else and despite me thinking the email complaints would be the way forward they are not. Would appreciate some advice on how to tackle these issues: false accusations from them, inappropriate billing, problem with myBT.
    Thanks Lukasz

    Hello,
    Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
    To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
    #Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
    #Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
    #Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
    # Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
    # Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
    # Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
    # Restart Firefox.
    This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
    Does this solve the problem? Let us know.
