From Lightroom to iCloud photo library
Is there any way to write from the Mac to the iCloud photo Library? I just want to get rid of Lightroom mobile, but I want a quick sync for all photos. Is there a folder on the Mac where I can write to and which iCloud will pick for the photo Library?
The good thing is, with iCloud Photo library, one could make a publishing service in Lightroom, and any changes one do to a photo would then be published to iCloud photo library (it would replace the actual image) and would be synced to all devices. And you could define the quality of the photo as well.
Lightroom mobile ***** and stores a low resolution version of my photos, which is terrible on a retina device. Also, Lightroom mobile has a bad UI. Its great to look but feels android like. Also syncing to Lightroom mobile is slow and a pain. The only benefit is, that it is unlimited storage.
iCloud photo library is limited to your 5GB, or the plan you purchased. I would get myself 20Gb for 1€/month.
Lightroom gan edit, but to be honest, i'm not going to edit my photos an a mobile device.
Maybe we have to wait until "Photos" for OS X comes out in 2015.

I would like just my imported photos and video in the Photos App to be synced to my iCloud Photo Library, and not the photos and video from my iPhone. Is there a way to do this?
You can either sync them back to your iPhone is you have them saved on a computer, or you can restore from a backup if you have one. Those would be about your only options. iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

Upload photos from pc to icloud photo library
I'm trying to figure out how to upload all of my photos that are on my PC into icloud photo library.while preserving my folder structure. I've spend about an hour or two a day on this for the past 2 months and I've gotten nowhere. I need to keep my photos in my folders/albums because many albums contain photos that were taken in many different locations at many different times but are related to each other.
So far it seems that Apple wants you taking pictures with only your ipad/iphone and not a DSLR camera. The old way of itunes syncing my photos onto my ipad and iphone was working fine but I love the idea of the icloud photo library. I just can't figure out how to get it to work.
Here's what I've boiled it down to:
- I'm using a Windows 7 pc
- I create an album on my ipad (I can't figure out how to create an album on icloud.com)
- I open the empty album on icloud.com (using either Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, or Safari)
- in the empty box in the middle of the screen it says "...upload photos by dragging them here"
- the photos upload into All Photos, not into the Album
Can anyone help me? It seems so simple but I just can't figure it out. You may be thinking that I could just move the photos from all photos into the Albums but I need to do this for about 15,000 photos.
Another option seems to be to just use a service like Flickr to manage my photos but I like the idea of having all of my photos accessible when I'm not connected to the internet.I have this problem too. Photo stream works fine on iPhone+iPad, but the photos are never loaded to my PC (Win 8.1). My shared folders works fine on iOS and PC, but not My photo stram.
In the beginning, a couple of years ago, it work, but not now (2014).
All iOS are updated, and PC-iCloud software/panel is Active, and Photo stream is activated.
What to do??
Reset all streams on PC? I tried, no result.
I can understand that it takes time to reload all Pictures from iCload to my PC, but I wait Days, weeks... -
Is it possible to upload videos from laptop to icloud photo library?
I've been able to upload photos from my laptop but not videos. Does anyone know if it is possible or will be possible to upload videos from a laptop to my icloud photo library?

Sorry to be an absolute pain but the video i'm trying as the link suggests is currently playing in quicktime and i want to put it onto my desktop so that I can transfer it into itunes...
The video in the article is just an example video that you can use while walking through the article.
Since you've already got the videos in iTunes and they appear to be syncing, you can just work with those videos iTunes. Just select your video in iTunes> click Advanced> click Create iPod or iPhone Version and then try selecting and syncing that video in iTunes.
iTunes will convert many video formats, if it cannot convert yours into an iPhone compatible format, you may need to use a 3rd-party utility to convert the video.

Deleting Photos from Device with iCloud Photo Library
How do I delete photos locally from my device when I'm using iCloud photo library? Whether I'm deleting from the Photos tab or Albums > All Photos, I see the same "this photo will be deleted from iCloud photo library on all devices" message. How can I delete the photo from my device, but keep it in the iCloud photo library? Currently, my photos tab and all photos album are exactly the same... whats the difference between these features? Thanks!
iCloud Photo Library is currently only for iOS devices, but it disables syncing with the Mac. It is simply not yet ready.
iCloud Photo Library is still a beta version. (See: iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ) The Mac part has not yet been released, but will be available early next year. We do not know yet, what the Mac part of iCloud Photo Library will be like. The Photos.app for Mac will be able to upload to iCloud Photo Library. If you simply wait till early next year, it will be the easiest transit. Then you will be able to migrate iPhoto Libraries and Aperture Libraries to Photos and store the photos in iCloud.
Right now, if you enable iCloud Photo Library Beta on your mobile devices, the usual ways to upload photos from your Mac will be disabled. It will no longer deposable to sync photos with iTunes, and you cannot upload using My Photo Stream.
To upload photos from the Mac to iCloud Photo Library, mail the photos, put them in your DropBox, or use the uploader on the beta.cloud page (in the photos beta app): https://beta.icloud.com -
Initial sync of Photos from iPhone to iCloud Photo Library freezes
I had about 13,000 photos on a MacBook Pro (10.10.3) in iPhoto. Imported all to Photo, turned on Photo Library and they all transferred and synched to iCloud. Turned on iCloud Photo Library on two iPads (iOS 8.3) and one iPhone 6 and they synched just fine; all four devices now show the same set of photos and changes to any photo on any device are almost immediately reflected on all other devices. Very cool!. But my wife's iPhone 6 got about 15% of her photos synched to the cloud and then the upload/download process just stopped—that was about a week or so ago. I read Walt Mossberg's description of a similar problem he had (a "rare bug") when turning on iCloud Photo Library that required a special fix from Apple. Something to do with a photo having multiple copies on iCloud that caused the sync process to freeze. But I can't find any fixes for the problem except taking all photos off the phone and then synching, and then reloading the photos, but that sounds a bit scary.
Can anyone help? It's frustrating to have had the process work so well on four devices, only to have a fifth freeze. All are updated and all have similar settings.We aren't allowed to discuss beta software in this forum according to the hosts. Try the Developers forum.

HT204570 iCloud photo library taking up all available iPhone storage
Recently upgraded from iPhoto to iCloud Photo library. It's great, except that it's now taken up all available storage space on my iPhone and I can't even take additional pictures on it. If I delete any pics from my iPhone (to try and free up space), it deletes them from my library and from all of my other devices (Mac mini, MBP, iPad, etc.). I don't want to get rid of the photos, I just want to remove some from the iPhone so that I can actually use the phone. My iCloud Photo library is rather large, and I pay for additional iCloud storage just to be able to accommodate it, but understandably so, my iPhone storage can't accommodate the full library, and I wouldn't expect it to, either.
I've had a similar problem. For me the best solution is to save the photos to my Mac, and then delete them from my phone. This does not however solve the problem with not wanting them to be gone on other devices. Unfortunately, I do not know of a way to exclude a device from having the photo deleted off of it (Wink*Wink* Apple- iOS 9/OS X 10.11? Cough*Cough*). Anyway as for saving space, for me, if I turn off iCloud photo library and then turn it back on again, it will make a lot of space open up. Note: still not total space. I assume that you have a lot of music/photos/apps or something because I have this problem on my 16 GB iPhone, but I don't see how a 64 Gb iPhone can accidentally run out of room. In conclusion, try turning off iCloud Photo Library on and off again. This is my best solution, and it works for me pretty well. Anyway, I hope this helped.

ICloud Photo Library (Beta) - Can't view older photos from before 2014
Hi All,
I turned on iCloud Photo Library (Beta) on an iPhone 6 and an iPhone 5s. These two phones had different sets of photos at the time. After the synch process completed the two phones now show the same photos. However, only the photos from 2014 are visible on both phones.
Interestingly, if I go to iCloud -> Storage -> Manage Storage -> iCloud Photo Library -> I can see that more photos have been stored than are visible. Storage reports 2600 photos, but I can only view 1800 through the photos application.
I'm hoping this is simply a Beta bug and my photos have not been lost. With luck they will become visible after a future update.
I'm curious if anyone from Apple can confirm this is a known limitation of the Beta. Or if anyone from the community has seen this same behavior.
ThanksI really wish I could like iPhoto, but I don't know what in the world it is doing, and by locking me out of the Finder access to the iPhoto folder and doing things like duplicating photos without my asking, I've lost trust in this piece of software.
First thing is: It's a Photo manager. That's the basic key thing you need to grasp. Your photo is not the same thing as the file that contans it. That's why Finder access is not relevant. Import the Photo, manipulate the photo - losslessly - and then if you want to use the Photo in a document, upload it, whatever, put it into a new file designed for that purpose.
The illustration I use is as follows: In my iTunes Library I have a file called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles.mp3'. So what is that, exactly? It's not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. They wrote a tune and lyrics. They recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in the mp3 file. So the file is just a container for the recording. That container is designed in a specific way attuned to the characteristics and requirements of the data. Hence, mp3.
Similarly, that Jpeg is not your photo, it's a container designed to hold that kind of data. iPhoto is all about the data and not about the container. So, regardless of where you choose to store the file, iPhoto will manage the photo, edit the photo, add metadata to the Photo but never touch the file. If you choose to export - unless you specifically choose to export the original - iPhoto will export the Photo into a new container - a new file containing the photo.
So as long as you're hanging on to the idea that Photo=Jpeg iPhoto is never going to work for you.
If you're willing to let go of that - as you do with Addresses, as you do in iMovie, Lightroom, Final Cut, APerture - then you can begin to make sense of iPhoto too.

ICloud Photo Library: How to prevent some photos from being uploaded/synced?
When iCloud Photo Library is on, every photo will be auto-uploaded and synced to all linked devices/computers, is there any way to specify which ones not to be uploaded? I know I can 'hide' photos so they won't appear in 'All photos', but they are still accessable from Albums.
No you can't be selective with what gets uploaded to the cloud. You might consider having a second library for photos you don't want in the cloud.

I do not want all the photos from my iPhone downloading to my wife's iPhone from iCloud? We share an iCloud account. How can I prevent the download to my wife's iPhone from iCloud. .The "Upload to My Photo Stream" is turned off on my iPhone. . I am running 8.1.3.
I have a related question. In order to same space on my iPhone is there a way to upload the photos to the iCloud and then delete them from my iPhone.The way to keep the photos from downloading to your wife's phone would be for her to go to Settings > iCloud > Photos > and turn off iCloud Photo Library. If that isn't an option, the other option would be for her to have her own Apple ID ( and possibly explore the new family sharing options https://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/family-sharing/ )
Regarding the "related question" see the quotes below from iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
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.
If you want to reduce the space used by photos on your phone, rather than deleting them see the following:
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.
You can turn on Optimize [device] Storage from Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera > iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You need an Internet connection to access an original photo or video that’s stored only in iCloud. -
I have a Apple-ID and my wife has her own Apple-ID, but I want to use only one iCloud-Photo-Library. Is that possible?
I have created a Family-Sharing, but when I now set Foto-Library to on at both of our iPhones, I have one Library for my wife and another one for me.
Is there a trick?Someone else can probably answer the family sharing question better than I can, but I wanted to respond with an alternate suggestion. I didn't find the features I wanted in family sharing, so I didn't give it much of a chance. It did seem like you'd have a separate album for each family member.
I just recently started using Flickr and it's great. I looked into it a few years ago and there were limitations on how many MB's you could upload per day and I don't remember being impressed by the amount of free storage. Now Flickr gives you 1000 GB for free and stores the image in the original quality and size. If you download the Flickr app on your phone, you can set it to automatically upload all of the new pictures on your iphone, ipad, etc. If you and a family member share a Flickr account, you can both auto sync your camera rolls into the same Flickr account.
Personally, I'm using Flickr as a way to automatically back up photos for free. I quickly ran out of free icloud storage and I haven't wanted to pay for more.In Flickr, the auto uploads from your phone are set to private by default, but you could use flickr to share albums with friends who don't own any apple products... unlike icloud photo sharing, that only allows your friends with an apple device to view shared albums. -
My wife and I currently have a iPhone and iPad each.
We share my apple ID account for apps and I also use this as my main icloud account on my devices.
My wifes devices have a different main icloud account.
We also have a iMac with separate users configures, which are tied to our individual icloud accounts.
Now that OSX photos has been released we want to make use of it including icloud photo library.
We take photos. Lots of them.
And we want the photos from all our devices to be aggregated automatically into a single osx photos/iCloud photo library.
1 - because we want a single library which includes all our photos from the last 15 yrs
2 - because we don't want to pay twice for storage
Seems to me there are two options - but I would be happy to hear any others.
1) The family sharing route
This seems to be the official solution, but it has major limitations.
Set up family sharing. I'll be the organiser since its my apple id thats used for app purchases already
Add my wife to the family
Ah... but now she has to manually share every photo or moment from he device
And it seems that these moments are not incorporated into the photos database in same way as the icloud library account users (me) are
2) Family iCloud account
I didn't test it yet, but no reason that I can see why it should not work
Create a new icloud account for the family
Make this family account the primary icloud account on all devices (could be a big disruption for icloud enabled apps)
Add our personal apple ids as mail/contact/calendar account
Make a new user on OSX for photos which has the family icloud account configured
No all devices should share the same photo library
Unfortunately:
We lose bookmark, keychain, etc sync between devices and osx accounts
We lose imessage (maybe).
We lose the new ios8/yosemite features like handoff
Or worse we get crazy imessage/handoff between all devices from all accounts
Both methods have major downsides.
Anyone know of a better way?
Why doesnt apple allow multiple separate icloud accounts to be configured and select which features each can use (where some features may have to be unique to a single account). To me this would seem to be the best option...My wife and I currently have a iPhone and iPad each.

I had iCloud photo libraey turned on on both my iPad and iPhone. As said by the feature, photos and videos were being transferred automatically from each device to each other. I have a 64GB iPad Air 2 and my iPhone 5 only has 16GB of storage so I am lacking much more space on my iPhone than my iPad. I was wondering if there was a way to transfer photos only from my iPhone to my iPad but not from my iPad to my iPhone. Would turning off iCloud Photo library on my iPad do the trick? Thanks hope someone can help me out.
iCloud Photo Library keeps all of your photos in the Cloud which you then can selectively download. So, unless you download the iPad photos, they are not going to be taking up any room on your iPhone:

If I am trying to attach a pic to a message or email, I get the error "photo can't be downloaded from icloud photo library, please try later." If I connect to wifi it works just fine. If it's truly "storing" a low res version on my phone it shouldn't have to download anything. I can understand the uploading of pics to library only being done over wifi, but there are plenty of times I'm going to want to send a pic when I'm not going to be near a network. It does work occasionally, but the norm is that I get the error.
Hi Ed,
There is issue with Windows 7 when you send the email. It gives the message you specified.
But you can always use Adobe Email client to send your images. In this workflow also you would get the error message but you can ignore it and continue to send the mail.
Thanks,
Sourabh
