Can I house me entire iPhoto Library on iCloud drive

My iPhoto library is 9GB of space taken up on my Mac Book Pro 2011 13"
Can I house my iPhoto Library entirely on iCloud Drive to regain that space or does it need to be on the Mac if I want to grab a pic or two for some small copy/paste situation, or to make a slideshow or burn a DVD?
Or is the size insignificant to make any read write faster if I did house it on Cloud drive or another external drive on my work desk.

Thank you both, now that is a perspective I did not have and the help I needed to sort out this buggy issue in my head.
And i did not know that what's on the cloud drive is still on my Mac, and now that I think of it, THAT'S A DARN GOOD THING and the reason and need for the cloud had just become more clear to me. I was thinking anything I put on cloud drive went there from my Mac and was not on my Mac any longer.
Age does not necessarily equate to wisdom, that's why I need this Apple Community.
Thanks to both of you.

  • How can I share my entire photo library from iCloud Drive?

    I attempted to create a stream, but it only allows 5K photos and I have nearly 14K. Not being able to share iCloud Storage space seems to me to be counterintuitive to the concept family sharing.

  • Can I upload entire iPhoto library to iCloud?

    Greetings. Just bought MacBook Pro. Trying to recreate dynamic replica of my iMac desktop. Beefed up iCloud storage, ditto Dropbox...can I upload my entire iPhoto library to iCloud? And, if not, can anyone explain why not? Or know of an alternative method? Thanks in advance

    No.
    Because that's not a feature of either iCloud or iPhoto.
    There is no alternative. Any folks who have tried running a Library from the cloud find that it is appallingly slow and there is a very high risk of data corruption as the online servers haven't a clue how to deal with the library.
    Use an external disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    Okay?

  • How can i transfer entire iphoto library to icloud?

    I dont want to back up iphoto collection, i would like to be able to access photos other than just shared or photostream. Please help.

    There is not yet any reliable cloud service that can host an iPhoto library offline and let you access it efficiently.
    This will be possible, when the new MacOS X 10.10 Yosemite is released, plus the new Photos.app currently under development.
    With Yosemite and Photos.app you will be able to keep an  iCloud Photo Library, probably early next year.
    The problem is, that an iPhoto library is a database, and not just a collection of photos. Accessing it over network may corrupt the database, if the transactions are interrupted by network dropouts or access from several computers is not synchronised. You cannot simply put an iPhoto library onto an arbitrary cloud storage and sync it there, if the underlying service does not protect the database integrity.

  • Can I publish my entire iphoto library to a sleek webpage?

    I found an old application called Webphoto which allows you to publish your entire iPhoto album to a webpage. I want something newer? Are there other free apps like that? Does iPhoto allow that without add-ins?

    @LarryHN, yes I have looked at the options. It's not very customizable. I want the pics to reside on my server, but the user should be able to see the entire iPhoto catalogue, and choose an album to browse, much like Picasa. I tried exporting a set of albums using iPhoto. It balled all the photos from the various albums into one set of thumbnailed pages.
    @Terence, yes, but as I mentioned above, I want something more feature-intensive.

  • Time capsule stuck restoring iPhoto library from iCloud drive

    I bought a new macbook pro. I used Airport Extreme Time Capsule to upload everything from old mac to new mac. Everything worked fine except on thing. My iPhoto library wouldn't transfer. It showed up in the new iCloud drive with a cloud and an arrow pointing down. I then tried to restore a previous version from time capsule (again it had been stored in iCloud drive), but it has been stuck on "copying "iPhoto library.photolibrary" to "cloud drive"" for many many hours. My iCloud drive has 190GB free and my iPhoto library is 20GB. Can anyone figure out what is wrong.

    You don't remember what the message was?  Not even roughly?
    Hint: when you get an error message, take a screenshot of it so you'll know what it says.
    My network is just a wireless ADSL Router connecting my Mac & TC. If I want to connect via ethernet cable, do I need to connect TC with Router?
    Either connect both your Mac and the TC via Ethernet, or connect them directly.
    because connecting Mac & TC did not work.
    What do you mean?  What happened?  Error messages?  If so, what? 
    Can I connect using the ethernet cable now while the restore is on to speed up the restore?
    Yes.   Once it's connected, and on, make sure Ethernet is above WIFI in System Preferences > Network.  That will insure that OSX will use Ethernet when both are active.
    If it isn't, click the "gear" icon at the bottom and select Set Service Order.  On the next window, drag Ethernet to the top.

  • How can I export my entire iPhoto Library to an excernal device using the structure of my iPhoto event names? (creating folders automatically)

  • 2nd gen apple tv not seeing entire iphoto library

    Here's something weird - anyone know why I can't see my entire iPhoto library on my 2nd gen. Apple TV?
    I have my entire library shared in iPhoto
    I have home sharing turned on in iTunes and am signed in using my Apple ID on the apple TV
    I see my whole iTunes library and am able to stream movies etc to Apple TV
    What's weird is only certain (two) events show up in the Photos section under "Computers"  but when I select computers/photos it says "my iTunes."  ALSO, when I go to iTunes/devices on my computer, I don't see my 2nd gen Apple TV listed - only my 1st gen Apple TV...
    Any ideas out there, Apple Gurus???
    Thanks!!!

    You select the photos that are shared to your Apple TV from the advanced menu in iTunes.
    Apple TV 2 is not intended to show up under the devices list in iTunes.

    That will take ages, buy an external drive (or a large enough flash drive) and copy it there, do it soon.

  • How do I back up my entire iphoto library to an external hard drive that I have dedicated for photos only?  Can I simply drag the iphoto library onto my seagate (hard drive) icon?

    How do I back up my entire iphoto library on to an external hard drive that will be my second back up plan.  I already have one back up that is also synched with time machine.  But now I want to back up my iphoto library to a new hard drive to have a second copy. Can I simply drag the whole library onto the icon on my desk top?  THX

    WHile you can do it that way, the next time you back up you'll end up copying the entire library again, and,as you'l see, once a library gets bigger that can take a considerable amount of time.
    Try using an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

  • I tried moving an album from iPhoto to Pictures.  It took the entire iPhoto Library.  Now I can't use it, and I cannot open it.  How do I get it back to just iPhoto?

    I tried moving an album from iPhoto to Pictures, but the entire iPhoto Library moved.
    I now cannot open iPhoto.  How can I get it back?

    A folder named Library popped up in Pictures.  I didn't want the entire Library, just the one album.
    When I open the Library Folder in Pictures, I get sub folders dated with years.
    When I open the subfolders, I just keep getting more folders.
    This looks like you were viewing your iPhoto Library; the contents of the Masters folder. Is your original iPhoto library still there?
    Where do you keep your iPhoto library? In the default location in your "Pictures" folder? 

  • Please help!! Ive suddenly lost my entire iPhoto library..says it doesn't exist although I can see the photos all in grey-but also the menu is in grey, can't do anything

    Please can anyone help! Ive suddenly lost my entire iPhoto library while I wss cleaning up…sometimes I can find them, they're there but all in grey and so is the menu for iPhoto…so I can't open or do anything…

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • I have never activated time machine and my entire iPhoto library is missing. How can I restore the library from the last back up??

    I am using a MacBook Pro version 10.7.5.
    Ive just noticed my entire iPhoto library is missing except for tonights last sync.
    I have never activated Time Machine. I am worried if i activate it now, i would have no chance of retrieving my iPhoto library.
    Can i restore the iPhoto library from the laptops memory? Or have i clicked the wrong thing while syncing, with no chance of seeing my life again?

    I was distracted at the time and have forgotten but I thought it was something like "are you sure you would like to replace all photos on this divise for the ones in your iPhoto library" I was confident as both the comp and my phone have been together for years now.
    Im questioning wether the iPhoto program had its own problem before tonights sync. Syncing photos is something i would do regularly without problems, but I've had about a six month break.
    Luckily i have made some folders and copied photos out of the iPhoto program. iPhoto was my default photo program and had so many photos from my travelling.
    Also I remembered Facebook syncs photos privately, I trying to go way back in time to see if there are any i can save there.
    I respect your honesty, if you believe there is no way i can get the program back to normal just say so.

  • I would like to download / backup my entire iPhoto library, but want to do so in a manner where each event is saved as a distinct folder.  Can someone please advise if / how this is possible?

    I would like to download / backup my entire iPhoto library, but want to do so in a manner where each event is saved as a distinct folder.  Can someone please advise if / how this is possible?

    See Terence Devlin's User Tip on exporting from iPhoto: 
                     Exporting From iPhoto  https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    To write events to separate folders, use "File > Export" and select the subfolder format "Event Name". But that will only backup the photos and not your iPhoto library and all the work you invested in organising it.  For backing up, see:                    iPhoto and File Management
