How to add old photos to iCloud Photo library

I want to put all my photos to one place, how to upload old Photos to iCloud Photo library, not making separate folder in iCloud what is not visible on iPhone Photo app.

As I understand it, you need to wait until the iCloud Photo app is launched next year. I got round it a little by sharing some of my albums, but not to anybody in particular. I can see these shared folders on my iPhone 5s, but they still don't show in iCloud.com>Photos.

Hi, My recent trip pics on my iphone are more than 30 days old and my icloud photo sharing had been turned off. How do I now share them to my PC which is on the icloud photo sharing? I want to save/print these once shared to my PC. Help?

My trip pics are more than 30 days old and my icloud photo sharing was turned off. How can I now share them to my PC for saving/printing? My sharing is now turned on but it's not loading them? Help?

That list includes all the apps that you installed to your device directly from iTunes on the computer, or which were purchased on the iOS device and subsequently transferred to iTunes on the computer.
If you right click on any item in that list and choose "Show in Windows Explorer" it will open your iTunes application installer directory on your computer, which should be:
C:\Users\User\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Mobile Applications
In there are all your saved application installers (*.ipa files). You need to delete those actual installer bundles and then make sure to NOT allow the "transfer purchased content" when you sync or backup in iTunes (as that will just put them back on your hard drive).
One caveat to removing those, is that if you ever wish to keep a specific release of a particular app, and the developer replaces the iTunes/App store version with something else, your sole source for your older version will be your own stored copy of it. So for example, when PDF expert released their iOS 7 update, and charged everyone full price for it, if you wished to keep using the previous version on your own devices, then you needed to keep a copy of the installer on your own computer as that older version is no longer available in the store front.

How to upload local photos to icloud photo library

with the new icloud photo library(beta) that was introduced in iOS 8.1, I tried to turn it on to upload my photos on my iphone 6 to icloud drive, but it warned me those photos I uploaded from my mac to my iphone will be removed.....
So does it only upload and syns those photos I took using iphone? what about those local photos on my mac or PC, that were uploaded to my iphone using iPhoto or iTunes? Is there a way to upload them all to icloud drive?
Thanks a lot

I logged onto https://beta.icloud.com/#photos and only found a download tab, so how to upload photos to iCloud Photo Library?

How can I 're-upload' photos to iCloud Photo Library Beta?

iCloud Photo Library a beta is set up to optimise iPad storage, but when trying to clean up my photo library, and opening photos to assess quality (which isn't feasible with the reduced resolution versions stored on my iPad) the full versions have downloaded and wiped out the storage capacity on my ipad! I need to revert to to the 'minimised' version, but can't see how to do this. Any help appreciated!

Are you really in a hurry to move your photos?
iCloud Photo Library is still a beta version. (See: iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ) The Mac part has not yet been released, but all 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, only iPad, iPhones, iPod Touches can upload to iCloud Photo Library Beta. And 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 be possible to sync photos with iTunes, and you cannot upload using My Photo Stream. You would have to mail the photos to your mobile devices to upload them to iCloud Photo Library Beta or use Dropbox or similar.

How do I download and immediately delete original photos from iCloud photos?

How do I download and immediately delete all original photos from iCloud photos? This way, I have a local copy of all my iPhone photos, and my iPhone and iCloud space will be reset and empty.
Using the online iCloud web app, you can only select one photo at a time. There is no select all or download all. And when you try to select one by one multiple photos and download, it opens a download "save-as" window for each one! Not one download window for all the selected. So if you select one hundred photos, one hundred download "save-as" windows will pop up, and you have to click the save button one hundred times.
Using my Windows 7 PC, the iCloud app doesn't have iCloud photo sync, only the Photo Stream photos, which is separate.
After researching online, they said the Apple OS X Yosemite Photos app could do this. So I tried my wife's MacBook Pro, and there is a iCloud photo sync, BUT, it tries to merge with her local photos. My 20 GB iCloud is full with my iPhone pictures, and her local photo library is about 50 GB. So it doesn't not even merge or allow the iCloud photo sync to turn on without buying more storage! The Apple OS X Yosemite Photos app doesn't even have a download only feature, OR access the iCloud like a folder to drag and drop photos or like an FTP. WHAT THE?!?!
So there IS ABSOLUTELY NO OPTION SO FAR to download and remove immediately all photos in the iCloud photo storage with ANY device, unless maybe I delete all my wife's photos on her MacBook Pro, which is not an option. Or select one by one thousands of photos on the online web app.
Am I missing something? or is Apple not so user friendly as they seem to be?

Open iphoto. Connect camera.
Import photos.
Does that not work?

Uploaded photos to icloud photo library, now how can I remove them from iphone

I have finally uploaded all my photos to icloud photo library, however it has still kept them all on phone - granted they are smaller versions and I have some more space but still want to remove most to make more space - but be safe in the knowledge that they are backup to icloud - a bit like how drop box works. Can anyone tell me how I do this - do I just delete them from iphone, or will that delete from icloud too?
It all seems unnecessarily confusing this icloud photo business.
Thanks
Using iPhone 4s ios 8.1

if you really want to be safe and be for sure that your pictures are saved.
Then import them to your computer Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support then you can delete it off your phone.

HT6378 How to copy iPhoto albums to iCloud Photo Library?

I have several years of photos in my iPhoto library. How do I copy these into iCloud Photo Library, retaining all my albums? I don't want to just copy all the photos without keeping my organization.

After having upgraded all devices to latest version, I wonder how do you get now the Mac iPhoto library into iCloud Photo library? iCloud Photo Library setting has been enabled on all devices.
iPhoto on your Mac is not supposed to work with iCloud Photo Library. The new "Photos" app for the mac will be able to do it. The release of this app has been announced for "Early next year".
For now, only your mobile devices can upload to iCloud Photo Library. So you have to upload your photos to the mobile devices to get them into iCloud Photo Library Beta.
That is not easy, because you cannot upload from your iPhoto library to your iOS 8 devices using iTunes with iCloud Photo Library Beta enabled on the device. It will disable syncing photos with iTunes. As long as you are using iCloud Photo Library Beta, mail the Photos to your devices or upload using Photo Stream.

Hey everyone, I sent all my photos to icloud photo sharing, and I want to know if I can reset my iPad without the photos gone? Please help!!!

Hi. Everyone, I want to reset my iPad but I sent all my photos to Icloud photo sharing. Now I'm wondering that if I reset my ipad, will all the photos go? if they will how can I prevent that? I'm also using and iphone with the same Apple ID if that helps!!!

Restarting or resetting the iPad does not delete the shared albums in iCloud (http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201559).

Photostream keeps your photos for download to other devices for 30 days, once they are gone, you can find them on other devices that you have enabled photostream to work with. So if you have Computer, and use photostream - they are in photostream folder in pictures or iphoto. If you didn't use computer, they are gone.

Iphone 6 stalls uploading photos to iCloud photo library

i have an iPhone 6 with the latest version of ios. Pretty often - generally at least once a week - it will attempt to upload new photos to iCloud photo library and just get stuck. Usually I have to either turn iCloud photo library off then on or sign out of my iCloud account to get it to start. But for the past few days (and of course I am on vacation so it can't do a full reset because I have no access to my iTunes backup) it just hangs. First trying to upload one photo, then whatever new photos I took - including photos that I airdropped to my iPad mini and are already in the icloud photo library. Now I again tried tuending my iCloud account on and off and it is sitting trying to upload over 1,100 hundred shots.
Any suggestions I can try before I get home and can try apple tech support of s full factory reset and restore?
Thanks

You may not like this solution, but it's the last thing that the apple care support could offer.
Let's say you have a bunch of photos stuck on syncing...
Connect iPhone to a computer via the cable, set iPhone to Airplane mode
Use Photos.app and select your iPhone in the sidebar (enable the sidebar first)
Select the photos you want to import
Select "Import"
Now all your photos are downloaded from the iPhone and then uploaded to iCloud Photo library.
Delete the Photos on your iPhone manually, also from the "trash"
Disable airplane mode on the iPhone
Disable iCloud photo library in the settings of iCloud.
Log out of your iCloud account on the iPhone
Wait till all the photos on the iPhone are deleted as well... delete them manually, also from trash (make sure you have them all in the Photos app on your mac!)
Restart your Phone
Log into your iCloud again and enable iCloud photo library.
All the photos should sync.
I hope this helps, it helped me at least!

I am receiving an error message that "photos has stopped respoding" when I try to upload photos to icloud photo library

I keep receiving an error message "Photos has stopped responding" when I try to upload photos to icloud photo library.

Hi, I had the same problem. I finally figured it out. Plug in the USB cord to your ipad, but beofre plugging it into your computer make sure your ipad is not in the locked or sleep mode. Once I did this, my photos showed up and started downloading. Hope that helps you!

How to add a radio station to the library

just loaded itunes 6 (windows box) and can't find out how to add a radio station to the library

If your current stations in WMP are .pls or .m3u URL's, they may work in iTunes also. Use the "Open Stream" command from the Advanced menu and put in the URL that includes .pls/.m3u. If the URL is a .mwv variety, those are Windows proprietary format and not supported by iTunes. Same with .ra streams (Real Audio).
.pls & .m3u usually indicate MP3 based streams supported in iTunes. It's up to the original radio station/streaming site to select the format and make it available. Shoutcast.com & Live365.com are great resources for mp3 based streams.

I'm trying to figure out how to add my music to my iTunes Library..?

I have an iPod Classic, almost full of music... I'm trying to figure out how to add my music to my iTunes Library (so I can then sync with my iPhone). When I try to sync, it gives me an alert: Are you sure you want to sync? All existing content will be removed and replaced with songs from your iTunes Library. How can I add my songs? I don't mind backing my files up and restoring my iPod, but I can't even find how to do that. Please help?! Thanks.

Are you using Mac or Windows?
With Mac you can click file on the top left, on the dropdown box 'Add to Library...'
With Windows you could have the folder with the music in open, and simply drag it into iTunes.
Or simply stick the CD into the computer and let it do it's work
If you want to backup, it should already do it for you, then once your iPod has been restored it lets you choose from the backups that iTunes has created. That's just me though it may not be the case for you.

How do I add photos to iCloud Photo Library?

Hi All,
Hoping for some help as I'm at a loss.
So iPad and iPhone, both upgraded to ios 8 last week and thought I would take advantage of the new iCloud Photo Library. Works great, I take a photo on my phone and it automatically catalogs it and appears on my iPad via the iCloud Photo Library.
Now here's the issue, how do I add photos to my library from my computer?
If I plug either device in and load up iTunes, select my device and click on the Photos tab, I am told the following:
iCloud Photos is On
**********'s iPhone can access photos in iCloud. Photos can be downloaded to your device via Wi-Fi or mobile network.
I rang Apple Support who kindly told me that I had to disable iCloud Photo Library on my device so that I could then sync it with iTunes, then re-enable it again so it would merge the two. This all worked up until re-enabling iCloud Photo Library which prompted me to delete all the photos I'd just synced.
So now I'm at a loss, how do I get photos on to my iPad now that I have this nice new feature enabled? All I want to do is make sure all my photos are in the iCloud library.
Thanks
