HT6378 How to upload iPhoto library into iCloud Photo library?

Hi,
I am having a MBP mid 2012 w/ Yosemite along w/ iPhone and iPad, all running 8.1. 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.
On the iCloud, All Photos folder just shows a fraction of what's on my Mac iPhoto library, probably the most recent pictures I have taken and there's no sign of any automatic uploading as suggested by all Apple Ads...
Thanks

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.

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.

HT204414 How to import both iPhoto and Aperture library to iCloud Photo Library (Photos app)

Hi all,
Based on the article here (Designate a System Photo Library in Photos - Apple Support) has anyone tried to bring both an iPhoto and Aperture library into iCloud Photo Library so that both libraries are available as one in iCloud and form the one Photos app library rather than being seen as separate libraries. I don't want the two separated as I have 200GB's of space in iCloud which is plenty to hold the two's collective space of about 40GB's.
It seems as though the procedure is pretty simple.
First of all set one of your libraries as the System Photo Library, this will happen naturally with setting up Photos app for the first time. I chose iPhoto as the original library.
Let this library upload all it's photo's to iCloud over a few minutes, hours, days etc.
When finished, enter your other library by closing Photos app and reopening while holding down the Option key (usually Alt). In this case I now opened the Aperture library that it had found.
Under Preferences > iCloud set this library as the System Photo Library and in turn it will have the ability to upload to iCloud.
When it's finished I suppose you will have both iPhoto AND Aperture pictures in the one iCloud Photo Library.
At least I hope the above makes sense.
Anybody already tried this with good / bad results, let us know here.

found it here - 'If you designate a new library as the System Photo Library and then turn on iCloud Photo Library, the photos and videos in the new library will merge with those already in your iCloud Photo Library. If you want to keep the contents of your photo libraries separate, don’t turn on iCloud Photo Library for more than one library in Photos.'
That bit seems clear. You can merge photos from different libraries by making them 'designated' first .
BUT this means that Photos app only shows you library A , or library B, depending on which one you have opened , but Icloud library contains photos from Both library A and library B .
is this correct ?
and if so, does it not get a but confusing ?!?

How to get existing albums to iCloud photo library

My boss is a home builder and he needs albums of homes across his devices and I'm looking for a solution for getting the albums of photos across the devices. Any thoughts? The photos are currently synced from iTunes and when I turn on iCloud Photo Library, it says its going to delete those photos. Whats the best way to get them in the mix?

Given that it is a beta product - which i certainly understand - it still doesn't seem to work as it has been described.
I have updated to iOs 8.1 on my iPhone 5 and iPad 4; I have approximately 1000 photos which are in albums on the devices, and which I have backed up to my computer. Here is what happens when I turn on iCloud photo library:
I get the warning about removing photos from the device and downloading optimized versions back to the device.
The upload begins, but only selects 50 or 60 photos, and NOT just limited to those which remain in my camera roll.
Only that upload lands on icloud.com. The other 900 or so just seem to drop into space, and can only be found on my computer.
Only those 50 or 60 are downloaded back to the device.
I swear with great vigor and volume, and restore my computer back up to the device.
I have the sense that there is some obvious step I'm missing, because this just does NOT seem to way this service is supposed to work, and I would think even a beta would work as described. But I've tried this multiple times on both devices, with the same result. I had great hopes that iPL would work as it seemed to be described and get me out of backing up to my computer, to Google Plus, and to Onedrive. Apparently not, at least not yet.
Would be deeply grateful for any advice.

Photos for OS X stuck "uploading X items" to iCloud Photo Library

21.5 iMac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 (all patches applied)
200GB iCloud Storage with 171GB Free
iPhone 5s running iOS 8.3
When I enabled iCloud Photo Library on my Mac within the New Photos application it uploaded 12,182 out of the 15,125 photos successfully. All 12,182 photos are viewable in iCloud.com and on my iPhone. Photos is stuck "uploading 82 items". I have signed out and back into iCloud on my Mac, rebooted my Mac, rebooted my time capsule, disabled and then re-enable iCloud Photo Library, paused for a day then resumed and left my Mac running for days straight.
iCloud Photo Library works perfectly on my iPhone. When I take a photo it's uploaded to iCloud.com, when it's deleted it's then removed from iCloud.com. Since the Photos application is stuck "uploading" it's not receiving any new photos shot with my iPhone.
Any constructive comments, help or fixes are very welcome.
Thank you

Same here. plenty of storage on iCloud, yet I'm stuck with 500 photos uploaded out of 400 total.
The OS X Photos app is not doing anything and has stopped uploading 2 days ago.
Reboot doesn't help.
Anyone else seeing this issue???

How does a family share an iCloud Photo Library?

I have a wife and two kids, all with iDevices. We each have our own Apple ID, and we have a fifth Apple ID for the family. I'd like to have all four devices see and contribute to one iCloud Photo Library, preferably using that fifth Apple ID. Can I do this?
As a note, I do this with the iTunes Store, happily. Apple allows you to set the iTunes Apple ID as a different one than the Apple ID used for everything else. I don't see that functionality with the iCloud Photo Library.
We could, perhaps, cobble together some solution using sharing to the family library and whatnot, I guess. That may be the only way, but it seems clunky. I will figure it out if I have to.
Thanks!
Danny.

I do want my daughter to be able to download apps or updates to existing apps even when she is not with me, but that doesn't seem possible without sharing passwords.
That is indeed not possible. She'll either need to re-acquire all those apps through her own iTunes Store account, you'll have to give her the password to your account, or you'll have to do all the updating for her.
Regards.

How do I use the same iCloud Photo Library on multiple iPhones?

I want to be able to use iCloud photo library on all my i-Devices, with the same photo library. I can log in with the same iCloud account on all devices, but, then I can't get FindMyFriends to work, because each IOS device needs it's own iCloud account for FindMyFriends.
Suggestions?

it tells me it is already in use
You will need to contact the previous owner of the iPhone in order to change the Apple ID.

How do I get rid of iCloud photo library beta?

the iCloud photo library beta seemed like a good idea - but it deleted all of the photo that had been automatically shared from my iPhone. Basically doing exactly he opposite of what I understood it to do. So I want it gone.

I came on this site for a similar reason. Where did my pictures go that I saw in my photo library prior to upgrading to this iCloud beta crap?

How to delete empty albums from iCloud photo library

Finished migration to the new Photos for OS X, and my library across all devices is now the same. However, if viewing Photos through iCloud,com (via Mac), I still see many unused empty Album folders. These folders (albums) do not appear on any of my OS X or IOS devices. I can;t seem to find a method to delete these folders.
Any help would be appreciated
THX

You cannot select an album on cloud.com! You can only open it. And if you right-click on it, there is only the custom safari menu.
By the the way the empty albums are only visible is 3 cases:
1. They appear on results while searching on searching field.
2. They are visible on iCloud.com.
3. They are visible through "Documents 5" application by Readdle.
In all the 3 cases you cannot delete them.
... or I don't know how.

ICloud Photo Library: How to sync iPhoto/Aperture albums?

After installing iOS 8 and trying to access Photos, users are presented with a notification titled, "iCloud Photo Library (Beta)." A subsequent message warns, "Photos synced from iTunes will be removed. Syncing photos via iTunes is not supported when iCloud Photo Library is turned on. (#) photos will be removed."
What is this supposed to mean?
Mac users may currently organize photos into events and albums using iPhoto or Aperture. Until now, they could also select specific albums and events to sync to specific iOS devices via iTunes. According to this message, if the user turns on iCloud Photo Library then these synced photos will be deleted from the iOS devices and they will no longer be able to sync them with iTunes. However there is no explanation of whether, when, or how this functionality will be replaced.
My hope and expectation is that the upcoming Photos app for OS X will allow users to import their iPhoto or Aperture library with all events, albums, and meta data intact, provide the option to upload their collection to iCloud Photo Library, and then allow specific photos, albums, and/or events to be viewed and/or downloaded on to specific OS X and iOS devices.
Assuming this assumption is correct, though, we'll have to wait until next year's release of Photos for OS X to regain this functionality. If that's the case, this advisory should explicitly say so.

Because IMO Apple has never cracked photo management, I organise all my photos on my MacBook and sync the photo's folder to my iPad and iPhone via iTunes. This gives me the organisation I require, but it means I cannot do much at all with the synced folder except view the photos on my iPad and iPhone.
I just enabled the iCloud Photo Library on my iPhone, this deleted all the iTunes synced folders from my device, I expected it to upload all those photos to the cloud and then delete them from the device, but it actually just deleted them all and uploaded a few odd's and sods I had in my camera roll.
I am currently unsure how to get my main photo library into the cloud as the Photos app is not yet available for Mac!
So do not enable it if you manage your photos like me and you want your back catalogue!!
I am very hopeful that Apple is about to crack photos management in an MASSIVE way, but until the Mac Photos's app come out continuity between iOS and Mac OS is still very broken.

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...

IPhone 6 not uploading to iCloud photo library

Yes I know that apples iCloud photo library is still in beta but very often my iPhone 6 will get stuck trying to upload photos (most that were taken by the phone itself) and my iPad Mini 2 has no issues. And now the iPhone 6 - when connected to wifi - is trying to upload 8 photos that were already uploaded my my iPad. Any suggestions besides a total factory reset - I am on vacation and don't have access to my iTunes backups.

Three were taking by the iPhone so they were originally on the phone. Two were uploaded and it got stuck on the third one. The other photos were transferred to my iPad mini by Canon's app from my camera and the iPad did upload them to the iCloud photo library. I then transferred those photos from the iPad to iPhone using Airdrop and now - even though the iPad already uploaded them to the cloud, the iPhone is stuck trying to do the same thing

ICloud Photo Library Differences Across Devices

I have updated to Photos on my Mac and using iCloud Photo Library and I'm having issues as the number of pictures is different in my Mac, iPhone and iCloud library. I have always used iPhoto as my main library so upon upgrading to Photos, I uploaded that library to iCloud Photo Library. It uploaded all night and now is showing ~7,500 photos with 168 to be uploaded. Those 168 to be uploaded hasn't changed since last week which is strange given Photos is otherwise working well (ie. properly processing edit / delete I did on my phone). I didn't wanted to have to deal with duplicate so I deleted all photos on my phone and turned on ICloud Photo Library. While there was some hiccups along the way (it worked fine at uploading pics until it started to upload only ~75% of pictures with the remaining staying gray which I then had to manually open), it now show that it is fully uploaded, yet it is only showing 6,539 pictures. When I check iCloud photo, I see it has just been updated, yet there is 6,617 photos. I can't really explain the difference in # of photos across the libraries as it should be the same. Anyone having the same issue and / or know how to fix this. I can't manually go through the libraries to see if there are discrepancies.

Thanks,
Unfortunately, I have already clicked the "importing: copy items to Photo Library" box. I only had about 6,600 photos in iPhoto so I am not sure why Photos is telling me I have ~7,500 pictures. I think the large number is due to some double counting of pictures due to my Photostream being uploaded first. When I first opened Photos, it did not recognize my iPhoto library (it's store in my Google Drive folder) so it loaded my photostream. When I realized the mistake, I loaded the iPhoto library, made it the default library and deleted the Photos library that only contained pictures from my photostream. However, Photos never adjusted the # of photos to reflect the fact that I had deleted the library.
