  • Can I use iCloud Photo Library on just one of my Devices

    I have an iPhone and an iPod touch. Can I use iCloud photo library on my iPhone and not on my iPod touch? Could I see them on my iPod if I do so?
    The reason I am asking is because I have like 600 photos on my iPod and only like 50 on my Phone so I would like to put the photos from  my phone onto iCloud Photo Library.

    Anyone?

  • When using iCloud Photo Library: Delete photos after iPhoto-import, or not?

    Now this issue may belong into iCloud, iPhoto or iPhone section as well, so I hope it’s ok to put it here …
    Before iCloud Photo Library appeared on stage, I would regularly sync my iPhone camera roll with iPhoto. Then (upon iPhotos request) I'd have them deleted from my iPhone. And finally I'd sync back with iTunes - where I had set it to sync "all photos from last 12 months".
    However, now I have turned on iCloud Photo Library on my iPhone, and am quite happy so far. Nonetheless - as it still is in beta - I prefer to additionally sync with iPhoto, so as to have my originals safely stored locally.
    That said, after importing into iPhoto I wonder if I still should say „yes“ to the "Delete from iPhone" popup? I tested it, and to my surprise all „deleted“ photos remain untouched and available on my iPhone - say in iCloud Photo library! When I agreed to delete them, I expected that they’d all disappear into thin air. But that is not the case.
    So what’s happening here? What is the sense of „yes, delete“ when these pics do *not* get deleted then?
    Of course I'd *want to keep them* in iCloud Photo Library, but anyway, I don't understand this behaviour at all. And as some friends have asked the very same question, I thought to ask you Apple specialists here. Thank you in advance for giving me deeper insight into Apples actual photo handling secrets.

    No idea about this, anybody?

  • I just started using iCloud Photo Library (Beta) and am wondering if I can delete photos from my iPhone and have them remain on my iCloud Photo Library -- is this possible?

    I have iCloud Photo Library Beta on my iPhone 6.  Can I delete photos from my iPhone and have them remain in my Photo Library?

    Yes, that should be possible.

  • Ok so when do we get iCloud Photo Library?

    It seems this will solve a lot of people's problems with the Photo Stream being gone.  I personally would love this!

    @icloud.com addresses are being rolled out over an unspecified period: you will get one without having to do anything, and it will be additional to your @me.com address. You will get a notification email when your account is updated. Please see this page:

  • IPhone photos app crashing consistently with large iCloud photo library beta - how can I completely remove?

    Hi - I turned on the iCloud photo library beta on my phone weeks ago.  Worked fine with no issues.  Then the Yosemite OS X beta 10.10.3 was released with the new Photos app.  Once i loaded that new app, it converted my Aperture library and began to upload around 75,000 photos.
    My iPhone almost immediately became sluggish (I assumed because it was downloading the pictures) and then eventually started crashing every time I go into the app (after a few seconds).  I assumed it was because it showed 75,000 images in my Cameral Roll/Moments so I turned of the iCloud photo library beta.  It prompted to be certain I was ok with deleting the images, which I said OK to.  But it still shows 75,000 images in the camera roll and anything I tried to do with any photo has become completely unusable (generally just crashing each time).
    Did I miss a step in the process?
    Is this just me?
    I'm trying to backup my iPhone but it keeps erroring out with the message "iTunes could not back up the iPhone "name" because the iPhone disconnected".  Otherwise I would just recreate .  Please help

    It can free up some storage but it doesn't work like Dropbox. See the following quotes from iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
    I personally don't use iCloud Photo Library as it is still beta. Additionally, I have a Mac computer and there is not yet a Mac Photos app that is compatible.
    How does iCloud Photo Library save space on my device?
    If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your iOS device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. iCloud Photo Library stores the original, high-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and can keep lightweight, device-optimized versions on each of your devices. As long as you have enough storage, recent photos and videos that you access the most will stay on your device at full resolution.
    To turn on Optimize [device] Storage on your device, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera, then select Optimize [device] Storage. You need an Internet connection to access an original photo or video that’s stored only in iCloud.
    How does iCloud delete photos and videos from iCloud Photo Library?
    Deleting a photo or video from your Photos app will also remove the item from iCloud Photo Library and from your iCloud storage allocation. Photos and videos you remove can be recovered from the Recently Deleted album for 30 days. After 30 days, your content will be removed from the Recently Deleted album. Photos are backed up on our servers for up to 30 days after they're deleted from the Photos app. If you need to recover these photos during that time, contact Apple Support.

  • Can't re-enable iCloud Photo Library iPhone

    After upgrading to iOS 8 on my iPhone 5s and iPad (4th Gen) I turned on the iCloud Photo Library (beta) on both devices.  Since, I have bought an iPhone 6 and restored my backup to the iPhone 6 from the iPhone 5s backup.  The problem is that my photos didn't show up... so I decided to switch iCloud Photo Library off and on again hoping that the photos will re-download... Now here is the problem I have, when I switch iCloud Photo Library back on, I get the message "iCloud Photo Library Not Yet Available", though it's on my iPad and if I go to iCloud storage settings, it shows that I have a library... so I'm stuck with what to do...
    Any suggestions?

    iCloud Photo Library is in beta (with good reason) and there are a limited number of slots open to users. When you turned off iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone, you opened up a slot for another user. There is nothing you can do other than check from time to time to see if there is now an open slot available for you to re-enable the feature. However, given the trouble many users are experiencing with the service, it's probably not a bad idea to wait until at least iOS 8.1 is released.

  • ICloud Photo Library - a really poor support experience (and still unresolved)

    I am using (or should I say trying to use) iCloud photo library on iOS 8.1.2 and on an iPhone 5S with 32Gb memory. I bought 200 Gb of Cloud storage too so was ready to go with about 12 Gb of photos.
    It was about 3 weeks ago when I turned it on and was initially hopeful, as the number of photos left to sync gradually decreased on my device (there are about 4000 to do). I could see they were coming up at iCloud.com and all looked good for the first 600 or so. And then it "stalled" for the first time and nothing seemed to help - reboot, airplane mode on/off. Occasionally it might do a couple more but then it would just stop.
    So, I logged out of iCloud on my device and logged back in again. A long pause whilst everything resyncs and then the photo resync begins again... from the start... 4000 to go. It got further this time, to 800 and every now and then it would process a few more. I left it a week and a half to see what it would do but eventually sure enough it stalls again.
    My first chat session with Apple support and the engineer suggests resetting the network settings... nothing.
    So the a second chat session with Apple support and the engineer suggests logging out of iCloud on the device and turning it on again. I'm reluctant to go the start of the process again, but I do and overnight I'm rewarded by getting to about 1200 photos this time. And then it stops, so I reset the network settings. A few more and it stops again. By now, I'm pulling my hair out.
    So another long chat session and after repeating all of the above an escalation is requested to a senior engineer. A call back is made to me and after a wait of 15 mins on the phone (Apple called me!) the senior engineer begins to lecture me on what beta software is (I know, it's software pre-full release with a few minor issues left to resolve). I politely ask what the next steps might be and the engineer explains to me that I should have no realistic expectations that it should actually work. Her experience is such that uploads may not register with iCloud, downloads may not register with my device and that I may LOSE photos! When I protest, again politely, that this might not be acceptable she hangs up.
    The chat engineer who is waiting for my call promises to complain on my behalf to the management and offers a call rescheduled for later which I take up. That was 30 mins ago.
    The call comes, I wait 15 mins in the queue again (it tells you a 2 min wait!!!) and then guess what, the call hangs up again.
    So here what I am left with. A sync that has now taken 3 weeks and ultimately is no more than a quarter complete. No confidence in the sync process or any idea of what might be causing my connection to fail. 4 hours wasted this weekend with Apple support. The rudeness of staff hanging up on my calls and lecturing me on the merits of beta software. £3 a month paid for storage that I cannot fill.
    I can only conclude that the iPhone photo cloud library is not ready and the support staff feel unable to offer any support on next steps. "Beta" or not, you really have to ask if this is good enough.
    Apple - if you're reading, you still have my outstanding call back on ref:722150884 sceduled for 16:30 GMT on 11th Jan 2015. Your system says this is still outstanding. If you're ready to call back with a genuine bid to help and an acknowledgement of the problem please feel free. If the software just isn't ready, just say and we can all move on with our lives.

    This is a user-to-user support forum, not a way to communicate with Apple regarding a support call or issue. (Just trying to save you some more frustration when you don't get a response to this post from Apple).
    As a user, I can note that it is beta software, I don't trust it with my photos and I'm not willing to spend the time dealing with issues that can be involved in beta software. There are a number of more proven 3rd party cloud storage options available.

  • Can I organise photos into albums within iCloud Photo Library?

    i Understand that edits / deletes etc in iCloud Photo Libary will be reflected on all my iOS devices but can I organise my photos into albums using iCloud photo library?
    basically I want to take photos on my iPhone, review them on my iPad, delete the ones I don't want and keep the good ones in a relevant album (e.g. "Summer holiday 2014"). Then I want to be able to see identical albums on both my iPad and iPhone. From what I've seen so far, when I create an album and save a photo to it then that album is only local to that device?
    please help.

    Are you saying it showed 800 photos before turning off iCloud photo library or that the 800 photos disappeared after you enabled iCloud photo library for the first time, the distinction is quite important.

  • How can i download photos to my IPhone after Disable and Delete ICloud Photo Library?

    I`ve started to use Icloud Photo Library, but i`ve decided to not use anymore because just a few photos were uploaded to the cloud.
    So, I`ve turned off my ICloud Photo Library entirely at Manage Storage section of ICloud Settings. After that i`ve been trying to re-download my photos to my IPhone, by "Transfer and Keep Originals" set up, but it isn`t working!

    You cannot.  this is how the iphone handles photos.
    ALL PHOTOS synced to iphone can be accessed via the "Photo Library".  Those same photos can also be accessed from the folders that you synced.  Just as you can find a book in your public library and you find the same book in the fiction section.
    Stop trying to resolve it as there is nothign to resolve.  All is working as it should.

  • My ipods screan is black and it wont turn on but it still makes a noise when i plug it in to the charger. can anyone help?

    my ipod isnt turning on but it still makes a noise when i plug it into the charger can anyone help me?

    Hey there cameronw99,
    It sounds like you are unable to see your iPod Touch screen, as it stays black but it makes the connection tone when you plug in the USB cable. Use these steps to resolve the issue with the iPod from the following article:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    chttp://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • My speakers are not working but it still makes a sound when it boots up

    my speakers are not working but it still makes a sound when it boots up.

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
    1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article.
    2. If your model has an audio-out (headphone) port, and a red light is coming from it, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
    If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
    3. Boot in safe mode. Don't log in; just reboot as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
    4. Reset the NVRAM.
    5. Reset the SMC.
    6. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
    7. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

  • Can I still make a playlist of podcasts with the new podcast app?

    Can I still make a playlist of podcasts with the new podcast app?

    No, for some reason it's not included as one of the features of the Podcast App.
    If you need playlists (as many of us do), then delete the Podcast App and podcasts will return to the music app, complete with podcast playlist functionality.

  • HT4059 If I have downloaded journal articles in a PDF format in IBooks, can I still make notes and highlight?

    If I have downloaded journal articles in a PDF format in IBooks, can I still make notes and highlight?

    Are they ibooks, epubs, PDFs ?  If they are epubs or ibooks then you might be able to either double-tap or press and hold a word and you should get a popup with one option on it being hightlight (though at least one of my ibooks doesn't get that option) - you can drag the grab points at the start and end of the word to extend the hightlighted text.  You can then view your highlights by tapping the bullet point icon next to the Library button at the top left of the screen.
    If it's a PDF then I think that you will need to find a different app, I don't think that you can do it in iBooks e.g. GoodReader might do what you want.

  • How do I make a backup when there are 4 users on my mac

    How do I make a backup when there are 4 users on my mac?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If you have more than one user, the backup is just the same as if you have one user. All users are backed up and there isn't any difference between a backup made on a Mac with one user and on a Mac with multiple users. Then, if you want to restore that backup in the future, you will be able to select which users you want to restore
