Editing iCloud Library Photos on iPad

I made some edits to a series of photos in my iCloud Library on my iPad. Photos created new versions of the photos but after a couple of hours, these new photos have not made it to the photo library at iCloud.com or my iPhone.
Everything I've read tells me that changes will propagate automatically but then this is beta software.
Is there a simple way to force my edits from my iPad up to iCloud?

You can copy your photos and videos to a wireless flash drive.

Bugfix required : edit shared library playlist from iPad

Hi,
Editing playlist on iTunes using shared library from iPad 3 is faulty. Would it be possible to fix please?
Example of fault:
On iPad using built-in 'Music' app
View shared iTunes library stored on PC from iPad
View playlists
Edit playlist
Add a song to this playlist (still viewing PC playlists)
Click Done.
Finished!
All seems ok on iPad. I can view new playlist stored on PC via iPad.
HOWEVER : all is not what it seems ,
THE PROBLEM:
The playlist on the PC has not changed at all.
The iPad appears to display the newly updated playlist.
But this new playlist is only valid for the current session as nothing has been updated / synced to the PC.
A manual iPad to iTunes sync makes no difference.
Please fix this as soon as possible.
I find this useful when playing my guitar in another room to my itunes shared PC library through my iPad. When I find a new song I like to play, I like to add it to a 'guitar playlist' on the PC for a permanent record for next time.
There's obviously a small glitch as facility is there , it just does not quite work.
Would you folks at Apple please have a look at this for me.
Many thanks in advance.
Alex.

Ok thanks king penguin. Posted it there. In the meantime if anyone else has this problem I'd be interested.
Incidentally I have found a work around but it's a bit long winded
I can edit the playlist from the 'Remote' app but it's just a bit of a long way around for something which looks as though it should work from within the app.

HT204264 iDevice Sync Query - IOS Photos & iCloud Photo Library over filling ipad iphone storage - what happens next?

Device Sync Query - IOS Photos & iCloud Photo Library fills ipad iphone storage - what happens next?
Quick question, when you select IOS Photo / IiCloud storage (photos are optimised etc) what happens when ipad / iphone storage is full and you now need to add new apps, photos etc? In my case I have 3 * 64gb ipads & 2 * 128 gb iphone but these are all filling up with photos since enabling IOS Photo & iCloud Photo Library (as all of my photos on each device are now copbined on every device as well as the cloud). This has become a problem as when I try to sync my idevice I get the device full warning (and I am assuming I now need to delete apps / videos if I want to sync or make more space for new photos etc). As far as I can tell once you enable IOS Photos and iCloud all photos will upload at original resolution and download at idevice resolution and there is no way to select / control the photos you want to keep on phone (eg if you delete photo on phone it will now delete the original on cloud).
Couple of questions / Suggestions:
- Will IOS Photos on IOS device automatically lower resolution of pics or use thumbnails for old photos that are already in icloud to ensure that there is space on device for new photos, apps videos music etc. Eg will old photos that have already been uploaded in icloud be replaced by new apps videos music etc (not sure that the IOS Sync or iCloud currently does this)
- Is there away to limit control or limit the number of IOS photos that sync to each idevice (eg by starring photos)? I had a look and can not see away to select photos you want to keep or remove (without deleting them on cloud). As per above I am hoping that the IOS sync and icloud systems are smart enough to replace Photos that have already upgraded to cloud with a lower quality / thumbnail to make more more room for new photos and apps (but not clear if this occurs)
- If this is a problem now what happens once the new PHOTOS launches for OS Desktop eg will it add in all our photos from iphoto to the icloud then to the idevice as part of the OS PHOTOS UPGRADE. I have 15-30 gb of photos in IPHOTO that are now backing up to icloud, there needs to be away to only select starred photos or albums or every photo try to download to my iphone (which will kill my storage). There also needs to be away to keep photos on idevice (for those times when you do not have internet and can not download from iCloud to iDevice
Apologies if I have missed something obvious and welcome any thoughts & answers.
If there is no solution then Apple needs to look at this and highlight it as a risk to customers who switch as this is being sold as a way to minimise your device storage but can lead to to customers using up more storage for photos on ipad iphone as a result of switch to IOS PHOTOS &
iCloud Photo Library

Things are not as dire as they might seem at first glance. My 66GB iPhoto Library became a 40GB iCloud Photo Library (~11K photos, ~300 videos) and only uses 2.2GB on my iPad and 2.4GB on my iPhone. Scaling that experience, a 64GB/128GB iOS device should be able to easily handle a 300GB iPhoto library. My iPad and iPhone are 32GB devices and I expect them to be livable through at least 30-40K of photos.
16GB devices have always been problematic for space even before iCloud Photo Library so I'd expect anybody with a 16GB device and more than a few thousand photos is not going to be able to use iCloud Photo Library with it. They will have to use iCloud Photo Streaming to get photos to iCloud Photo Library and iCloud Photo Sharing or iTunes syncing to get a subset of photos back to the device. Not a great solution but workable. However, it wrecks one of the best features for me which is using my iPad to edit the photos I take on my iPhone.
The part that worries me is the automatic space management routine. The problem it creates is that I might want to add a movie, but there won't be enough space, and my only option will be to reset iCloud Photo Library on the device to get back to all thumbnails on it to see if that gets me the space I need. I've already had to do it a couple of times with iTunes Match and it's not fun. It all depends on how aggressive Photo Library will be in trimming off full-size photos/videos and Apple appears to be leaving it a black box at this point. It would at least be nice to know an estimate of the minimum size so I know how much space I can recapture.

How can I import photos edited with Photos on iPad to iPhoto on Mac, including all edits??

During a long vakantion trip, I took many pictures and imported them in Photos on my iPad. And during the trip I edited many photos: croppig, changing colors and brightness, etc.
Now back home, I would like to import all these photos into iPhoto on my Mac, including all the edits of course.
I imported a few hundred and saw at once that the edits were not imported completely and not correctly (probably most is not imported).
Can anyone please advise how this should be done.
Thank you very much,
Frans

Making a trip, I import, select and edit pictures, as I have the time to do so. So, when I come back home, I expect importing to the Mac and reviewing only.
You are caught in the transit. If you still had iOS 7, that would have been no problem. Your edits in iPhoto on the iPad would have transferred to the Mac, and you would even have been able to undo the Camera filters. Unfortunately, iOS 8 is ahead of the photo applications on the Mac. The sidecar files with the edits transfer to the mac, but no software that I know of can read them. It will be better in a few month.
Do you know of any other application which can be used on both, iOS and OS X, to edit photos??
Right now, the only app I know is Pixelmator.
Pixelmator on the iPad can save and open files on iCloud Drive. But you would need to upgrade your Mac to Yosemite to use the new Pixelmator for Mac and to be able to access iCloud Drive from the Mac.

HT204264 Do my photos still backup in my iCloud if I don't have my iCloud library beta on?

Do my photos still backup in my iCloud if I don't have my iCloud library beta on?

They are included in an iCloud backup if you don't have iCloud Photo Library turned on. See the following quote from the section of what is included in an iCloud backup from iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
Photos and videos on your iOS devices, unless you turn on iCloud Photo Library beta on your iOS 8.1 device. If you turn on iCloud Photo Library beta, your photos and videos are already stored in iCloud, so they aren’t included in your iCloud Backup.
Be aware that the contents of an iCloud backup are not viewable at iCloud.com and are only usable when doing a full restore to an iOS device or when transferring to a new iOS device. Because of that I also import my photos to a computer for safekeeping. Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support

ICloud Photo Library Photo size

Hey, i started using the iCloud Photo Library Beta and its really good at increasing my storage space..
my question is this:
If i open a photo in my library How do i return the photo to the iCloud storage so its full size wont be at my iPhone but at my iCloud storage?
i tried waiting a while (a week already) to see if the original photo will automatically move to the iCloud storage space but no.. its still on my iPhone space
how can i control this or re-upload the full size resolution photo to my iCloud?
Message was edited by: AmirK390

Yeah i know, i am using this option
but im asking after downloading a photo in full size resolution.. how to i change it back to the small version of the photo to reduce space usage?
in the icloud library it says it changed which photos shown in full size depend on how much i watch them..
but those photos im talkign about wasn't been opened for a week now and they are still in full size..

Sync iPhoto library on MacBook to Photos on iPad

I would like to sync my entire photo library from my MacBook Air (Yosemite) to my iPad (iOS 8.1) but I'm not seeing how. Can YOU help me, PLEASE?

Thank you for your quick reply! Yes, I had that same link but it is for the previous version of iTunes. I have already installed iTunes 12.0.1. I've got the sidebar showing and I've selected "Photos" in the sidebar, but I'm stuck from there. There is no "Device Button in the upper right corner" nor is there a "Sync photos from" choice. At least I haven't found it if there is. (That's when I resorted to asking for help. ) But I didn't know about turning off iCloud Drive on my iPad 1st. I did that just now and nothing seemed to change.
I've waded thru the iPhoto app on my MacBook and I can't find anything offering to sync with my iPad, in case Yosemite had changed things but apparently syncing photos is still done thru iTunes.
Thanks again!

How do I delete photo library from my iPad?

how do i delete the photo library from my ipad?

Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen or via the Edit button in thumbnail view. If you want to select and delete a lot of photos then in thumbnail view tap the Edit button and then try touching the first photo with two fingers and then slide the two fingers (not too quickly) across the photos that you want to remove and they should get ticked (it might take a few attempts)
Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from on your computer and then re-syncing - if you want to delete all synced photos then try selecting and syncing an empty folder.

When I'm streaming photos to ipad from my PC, those will be in a streamed area. They do not show up in "pictures", and I'm not able to put them into an album. I'm using icloud. Are there any solutions of my problem?

I would like to make an album at my Ipad. The first pictures I transfered, did get into "pictures", and I could make a photo album. Later I did get them into streamed areas, but they did not get any ways to make an album. They did not apply to "pictures", and when I make an album and tries to import the pictures, the streamed pictures do not show up. What can be done?

How can I delete photos from iPad but not iCloud?

Before setting up iCloud, my girlfriend downloaded photos from her camera to her iPad. We now have iCloud set up, but the photos on her iPad remain in the "Photos" album instead of Photo Stream. I would like to delete the photos from the iPad to free up storage space, and move them to the Macbook. I'm guessing that I would need to somehow move them to Photo Stream then delete the old album where they were stored on the iPad... Any ideas?

I recently purchased icloud storage for my iPad Air. I want to store photos in the cloud and learn how to retrieve them. I need help.

I recently purchased iCloud storage for my iPad Air so that I can store my photos in the cloud. I don't know how to do this. I want to be able to retrieve them as well.

Hello Janet
With that iCloud storage that you purchased, is used for mainly for iCloud Backup for your iPad Air, app data as in games and documents for like iWork and other apps that save data locally within the app. Dealing with photos in your Photo Stream they actually do not count towards that storage plan. If you don’t think that the storage is going to work for you, then cancel the upgrade you just made.

Is there a way to really empty the Photo Library on an iPad?

I wanted to delete a couple hundred photos in the Photo Library on my iPad 3.
In the Photos app on the iPad, I used the "tap-to-select" method and trashed some of the photos, but this was way too slow, so I connected the iPad to my iMac via USB cable, and from within iTunes synced the iPad Photos to an empty folder. This cleared out the Camera Roll. (The "Photo Database" it created in the empty folder contains 892 bytes). The app window now says "No Photos or Videos."
In Settings/General/Usage/Photos & Camera/, the three menu items now show:
Camera Roll - 0 bytes
Photo Library - 642 MB
Photo Stream - 0 bytes
There, doing a "swipe-to-the-left" on the Photo Library bar brings up a red DELETE button. Hitting the button has no effect. It just takes me back to the previous menu (Photos & Camera) which also still shows 642 MB.
I have opened Preview.app on the iMac and looked in the iPad. There is nothing to delete.
Also, I opened Image Capture.app and had a look in the iPad. There is nothing to delete.
The Photos & Camera menu still indicates 642 MB are used.
Thanks for any suggestions.

sberman: My iMac is running iTunes 11.0.2 already. As well, the Photos tab in the iTunes window shows that "Sync Photos from" is un-checked. And in the box to the right of it is the greyed-out empty folder that I previously synced to in order to remove photos from the Camera Roll.
Ralph9430: I did a reset (Home + Sleep) earlier when I was trying everything I could think of. I have also re-synced a couple of times. No luck.
Thanks anyway. I was hoping someone out there would tell me they've experienced the same problems (non-functioning DELETE button, and persistent data in Photo Library), even if they haven't found a solution. Then I could assume it's a iOS 6 bug. All I can think of to do next is a full iPad restore.

I had to erase my hard drive and then reinstall everything back from my passport external hard drive. Now my iPhoto edit is not working. I get a blank screen when I want to edit. The photos show up in the library but I cannot edit them. Help?

I had to erase my hard drive and then reinstall everything back from my passport external hard drive. Now my iPhoto edit is not working. I get a blank screen when I want to edit. The photos show up in the library but I cannot edit them. Help?

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
*1. Permissions in the Library* : Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
*2. Minor Database corruption*: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
*3. A Damaged Photo*: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
*4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
*5. A corrupted preference file*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Regards
TD
