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?

  • Is there a way to use iCloud Photo Library WITHOUT syncing?

    The idea I had of iCloud Photo Library was that I could upload my pictures to it and access them from all my devices WITHOUT having to sync them.
    At the end of every month, I move all the photos from my phone to my computer. It helps me save space and keep things tidy. With iCloud Library, I want to access all my photos, but it looks like I must sync them through iCloud, and then to save space in my phone, I have to select "optimise space for iPhone". Is there any way to use iCloud Photo Library as a mere cloud storage? I don't want to keep photos on my phone, neither full resolution or "optimised" ones. I want to put them on iCloud, and when I need them, then I want my phone to download them.
    I realise I could use other cloud storage providers for this, but I have always liked Apple's integration with their own services, so if possible, I would like to use iCloud Photo Library without syncing to my devices. Just keep my stuff in iCloud, and when I tap it, download it.

    Doesn't work well in IE8 (9 I would think is ok), but is fine in the current version of Chrome.

  • Photos will not open, stuck on "Use iCloud Photo Library Page"

    I have had my photos app running for three days now and it still hasn't created a library. It is stuck on the Second screen after initializing the app for the first time which gives you the choice between use iCloud photo Library and not now. When I try to quit the app a dialog box pops up saying "Photos is creating or opening a library - cannot quit while it creating or opening a library"
    Can Photos be re-installed?
    Bit of background, I have a 3th fusion drive iMac from late 2013 and I am a photographer with about 1tb of photos on the local drive, is it overwhelming Photos?
    Thanks

    Hi VtBoomer,
    Lets see if we can clear this up. When you turn on iCloud Photo Library beta, you are essentially switching from a collection of photos that is stored on your iPhone and moving the photos to iCloud. It does actually use iCloud storage when you do this. What this accomplishes is if you have multiple devices, then they will be in sync across all other iOS and your computer. Take a look at the FAQs page below to answer any other questions you may have.

  • Can I still make a backup when i'm using iCloud photo library?

    I want to know that if i'm using the iCloud photo library, i will be able to make a backup in itunes on my mac?

    But i mean in iTunes.
    Can I change the settings in iCloud, that I only have a backup in iTunes??

  • Upgraded OS: How Can I Get iCloud Photo Library or Photostream to Sync to a Dedicated Mac Folder?

    I'm totally frustrated and confused even after Googling. Hopefully someone can help me understand what it is Apple wants me to do.
    As of yesterday, when I took a photo or uploaded a photo to any of my devices, it would transmit via Photostream to all my other Apple devices (iPad, another iPhone, Windows PC, and MBP).
    Now I found it infinitely frustrating that while the photos would neatly deposit themselves in a specific Photostream folder on each device, even my PC has a dedicated Photostream folder provided by Apple's iCloud app for PC, there was no such folder or provision for Macs!
    In order to access my Photostream on my MBP, I either had to open Aperture or iPhoto, or go to iCloud.com and then import the photo.
    I upgraded to iOS8 on my primary phone to finally to take advantage of iCloud Photo Library and have the photos sent directly to my Mac's (running Yose) iCloud Drive folder --- or so I thought. Not only do I not get photos on my Mac's iCloud Drive Folder, it seems to have broken the link between my other devices!
    To add injury to insult, my Phone sent me a "Could not back up - iCloud Storage almost full" message. Considering I had 2GB of iCloud storage available, I was shocked to read the fine print on iCloud Photo Library ... it uses your iCloud's storage, unlike Photostream which is totally free. 
    Is there any way or program anyone has found to deliver a seamless and intelligent Photostream folder on a Mac that behaves seamlessly and intelligently as it does with Apple's PC iCloud App and iOS native Photostream?

    That's correct but your 10.6.8 machine has no way to put it there unless you manually enter it on the website.
    That to sync data from iCal and Address Book in Snow Leopard to the iCloud server you must manually register and connect to the iCloud.com website which I have done.
    You can't sync from Address Book or iCal in Snow Leopard.

    The syncing to the same data in Mountain Lion is done via the System Preferences > iCloud, which I have done.
    Supposedly that means the data on the iCloud server is then shared between the iPod Touch, SL and ML, but it is not.
    Because data entered on the SL machine never makes it from iCal or AB to iCloud or from iCloud to AB or iCal, the link breaks there.. You can use a 3rd party app (Soho) and use it instead of AB and iCal.
    But the problem exists on ML as well.
    I get only some Contacts and iCal events transferring.
    What you are seeing is probably from SL account which I use 95% of the time. Particularly my Address Book entries. I hardly entered any of those in ML, they virtually all come from SL and seem to have transferred previously. Possibly before the latest iOS updates, but I can't swear to that as I didn't check before/after.
    The vast majority of my Address Book entries appear in both iCloud.com and my iPod Touch, but not my latest changes.
    This is far from the "It just happens!" promised by Apple.

  • For the love of G-d, can someone please tell me how I can access my iCloud photo library from my phone

    my iCloud Drive is activated in Beta (whatever that means), photo backup enabled and all that stuff. I can't for the life of me figure out how to view photos that are already in my iCloud photo stream on my phone.

    bascially, everyone wants Apple to do a proper cloud storage option for high end media, majority people thought iCloud photo library beta was this great service purchase high storage all in the cloud, sadly the only thing it does decently is sync. If you want a real cloud photo storage option, choose another service. This is a beta so hopefully they wake up. I have NO idea what the point of selling higher tier storage options ( backup???) make any sense for a iCloud photo library user, you will certainly run out of storage on your device crippling yourself with reduce quality media rather then actually making use of the higher storage.
    just really odd, you just simply have to scratch your head on iCloud photo library and the tier cloud pricing lol it's like a joke.

  • Share an album using iCloud Photo Library

    Hello.
    I'm currently using the iCloud Photo Library and it's great.
    But, I want to share an album (or just a few photos). But iCloud Photo Library does still not allow to share an album.
    So, I want to use a Shared PhotoStream Album. And it seems that the iPhone is uploading my files (photos and videos) to the Shared PhotoStream.
    Tell me if it is right... In fact, why the phone is re-uploading the videos/photos if there are already uploaded to my iCloud Library ?
    Best regards,
    Alexis

    If I want to share some pictures and videos, I have to specify which photos, album and person... Yes, of course. But when I want to validate the creation of the album, I'll have to wait a long time, in particular if my Wifi is slow. In fact, if the video is already uploaded in the iCloud Photo Library, Apple should simply copy/paste it in the Share Album...

  • How to transfer old photos from iMac to iPad using iCloud Photo Library

    iMac with Yosemite, iPad with iOS 8.1.  New photos taken on any device are shared automatically with all other devices.  But, older photos on iMac are not being shared with iPad or iPhone.  The options to synch selected photos on iMac with iPad don't seem to be there any more now that iCloud Photo Library is enabled on iPad.
    I imagine that iCloud Photo Library's capabilities only apply to new photos.  Is there a way to move old photos over for viewing on other devices?

    John,
    You can share selected photos to your Photo Stream, if you enable the iCloud features, or create an album of the selected photos and transfer them using iTunes Photo sync.
    For iCloud see: iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ, iCloud: Using and troubleshooting Shared Photo Streams
    For iTunes see: iTunes: Syncing photos
    Or, simply mail them in high quality and save them from your Mail to your camera roll, if it are only a few photos.
    Regards
    Léonie

  • 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?

  • Can you use iCloud to transfer data from one iPod to another?

    Hi, I'm a newbie to Apple. I'm getting another iPod touch with bigger storage, the only data I care about is Clash of Clans. Can I use iCloud to back up the data, and restore it to the iPod I want? Please help, I don't want to lose my data without the right directions.

    Yes.  Back up your current device to iCloud, the when setting up your new one, restore it to this backup.  It will include your apps and app data (as well as other data and settings).  See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109.

  • Running off NAS cannot use iCloud Photo Library

    After re-loading 32000 (190gb) photos into a Clean new library running off my NAS, i decide to turn on iCloud
    photo sharing.
    I then get this awesome message
    iCloud for Photo Library is only available on Mac OS Standard and Mac OS Extended formatted volumes.
    What the !
    Why would Apple care what format the HDD is where my Library is located ?
    I don't have enough space on my internal SSD and it was not very safe running it off
    a USB HDD
    I'm running this off a Synology NAS i really hope they fix this.

    Have a look at this Help page:
                  System Library Overview      
    Among other, it says:
    By default, your System Photo Library is stored in the Pictures folder on your Mac, but you can move it to another location on your Mac or store it on an external storage device. However, to use iCloud services, the external storage device must be formatted using Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format, also known as HFS+.

  • How can I use iCloud to sync to just my account on my iMac and not to my husband's account?
