HT6378 ICloud Photo Library: batch download photos

How can I batch download photos from icloud.com/#photos to a folder on Windows 7?

I tried to do the same thing, download all my photo library but it's actually impossible to do it easily on PC.
So i just found someone with a macbook to use the "photos" application on his mac...
So yes, i hope they will implement something like a button to download a zip with all your photos on icloud.com
Or implement the photo library sync on PC in the icloud software

I have the iCloud Photo Library (Beta) turned on. The photos from my iPhone do get uploaded to the iCloud. The photos are then downloaded to my wife's iPhone (we share the iCloud account). How do I keep the photos from downloading to my wife's iPhone

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.

HT6378 Can I share my iCloud-Photo-Library with my wife, so that photos from my iPhone and all photos from my wifes iPhone are in the same Photo-Library?

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.

How can I download my photos without icloud photo library

I have IOS8 and I did NOT turn on iCloud Photo library as I don't want to store my photos there. When I go to download them to my PC the files have an .AAE ext and I cannot open them.

I Figured it out----- you can't upload iTunes iphotos to iCloud Photo Library from an iPhone! Can't be done. Must have a Mac to do it--- and it better not be an old one. Thanks apple!

How can i download photos to my IPhone after Disable and Delete ICloud Photo Library?

I`ve started to use Icloud Photo Library, but i`ve decided to not use anymore because just a few photos were uploaded to the cloud.
So, I`ve turned off my ICloud Photo Library entirely at Manage Storage section of ICloud Settings. After that i`ve been trying to re-download my photos to my IPhone, by "Transfer and Keep Originals" set up, but it isn`t working!

You cannot. this is how the iphone handles photos.
ALL PHOTOS synced to iphone can be accessed via the "Photo Library". Those same photos can also be accessed from the folders that you synced. Just as you can find a book in your public library and you find the same book in the fiction section.
Stop trying to resolve it as there is nothign to resolve. All is working as it should.

Icloud photo library won't work unless connected to wifi. If I am trying to attach a pic to a message or email, I get the error "photo can't be downloaded from iphoto library, please try later." If I connect to wifi it works just fine.

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

Pictures in iPhoto were not downloaded to iCloud Photo Library

I turned on the iCloud Photo Library (beta) on my iPad using iOS 8.1 and all my pictures in iPhoto were NOT put in the library. I understood it would take several iterations (limits are 1,000 pictures/hour, maximum 10,000/day) but nothing has changed from the initial download.

I turned on the iCloud Photo Library (beta) on my iPad using iOS 8.1 and all my pictures in iPhoto were NOT put in the library.
iPhoto on your Mac does not (yet) work with iCloud Photo Library Beta. Right now, iCloud Photo lIbrary is limited to your mobile devices using iOS 8, see this link: iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ
I understood it would take several iterations (limits are 1,000 pictures/hour, maximum 10,000/day) but nothing has changed from the initial download.
These limits are applying to the Photo Stream, not iCloud Photo Library. (iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ)
Early next year iCloud Photo library should be available on your Mac as well, when the new Photos.app for Macs will be released.

ICloud Photo Library - iCloud App Video Download

I have recently upgraded to iCloud Photo Library from my iPhone 6. Everything looks good and photos & videos are available in iCloud.
I have also upgraded my iCloud Windows app to version 4.0. It doesn't seem that Videos are automatically downloading to my PC like Photos do.
Should videos not also now download automatically? is there something else that needs to be enabled?
thanks
JV

I was about to ask the same questions since the Help says:
Add new photos or videos
Log in to iCloud.com, then click Photos.
Click Upload and select the photos or videos you want to add.
Click Choose to upload them to your library.
I am wanting to upload a test group of photos that I will export out of my Aperture library to get a feel for how I am going to switch some of my personal organization.
Hopefully they will update iCloud.com even though it's a beta so we can begin trying uploading from a computer.

ICloud photo library download inturrupted

Tried to download a 470Mb video from my iCloud photo library using the website on to a windows PC, anyone else have this issue?

Until the Mac photos app is released I think the only way would be to set "download originals" in the iOS photos setting, then after they all have been downloaded to your device plug it into your computer and download them off the device.

Downloading photos from iCloud Photo Library

Apple removed the iDevice iPhoto app and Camera Roll ability to send photos to iTunes for transfer to my iMac, my iMac is too old by a couple months to use Airdrop, and one can only send 5 photos at a time thru email from the Camera Roll or the Photos app.
I finally figured out that the iCloud Photo Library is now the only way to get the photos out of my iDevices and onto my (apparently outdated) iMac.
I don't anticipate using my iDevices as my primary photo creator, so it is not my intention to permanently store photos in the iCloud Photo Library. But occasionally, I don't have a real camera handy.
Works fine. Photos end up in the iCloud Library, I go into iCloud on my iMac and download the photos to my iMac download folder, move them to my photos disk, and delete them from the iCloud PL.
Okay. all the blah blah blah is done, now my question to which I can find no answer:
How can I stop the download from automatically opening Adobe Photoshop Elements (or any other viewer/editor) for every photo I download.?
Gets pretty tedious when I download 100 photos and have to wait for them to load into PS before I can close PS and get on with moving the photos to their final resting place.

In direct answer to your question: I don't connect to my iMac with the iDevices and use iPhoto because I stopped using iPhoto in 2007, long before iDevices came into my life and I've just never had a reason to open iPhoto again. I also like having my photos in folders where I know where they are, and if I recall, importing photos to iPhoto from my own folders ended up placing a second copy in the bowels of iPhoto. I didn't need duplicate copies.
Until iOS 8 came along, I have been able to export photos thru the iPhoto iOS app via iTunes -- grabbing the folder under the "apps" tab "File Sharing" area in iTunes and placing it wherever I wished. I seldom if ever used the iPad for video, but if I did, it was to make a short iMovie and export it via iTunes File Sharing as well. The file sharing option is now gone for photos, although still remains (for the time being) for iMovie.
It never occurred to me to look in iPhoto, so checked out your suggestion, and I do see that you are correct, and connecting my iDevices to my iMac with iPhoto open is assuredly a good way to get both photos and video exported to my own folders.
However, with the iPhoto app File Sharing option gone from the iDevice environment, and no visible way to export my photos/videos to my iMac, as explained previously, I checked out the iCloud Photo Library (beta) option. As I have also stated, I log into iCloud on my iMac (https://www.icloud.com/#photos) and all my photos and videos are sitting there happily waiting for me to do what I will with them. What I will, is to download them to my iMac and delete them from the iCloud Photo Library.
The process works just fine, except that I do have to double-check that all of the selected items actually did download. Often one or two little fellows have to be selected again and downloaded.
Although you have shown me an easier option which I will be using on those future rare occasions when I am without my "real" camera, my question still remains: how do I prevent my editing program (photos) and Quicktime (videos) from opening automatically when I download the respective items.
Since you believe I cannot be using iCloud Photo Library on the Mac, you can't provide the answer I seek.
But I sincerely thank you for providing me with the option I didn't even know existed. I may well turn off the ICloud Photo Library permanently and forget it. However, it would be more handy if I am traveling, since Photo Stream all by itself only makes photos available to other devices where they can be placed in the Camera Roll as backup.
Thanks again for the reply and the option.

HT6378 There is no Pause option in Settings to pause the upload to iCloud Photo Library.

There is no Pause option in Settings to pause the upload to iCloud. How can I pause uploading new photos?
In addition, if you choose to turn off the Photo Library beta, you receive a message that indicates the option will be removed from the iPhone.
CorvusIf you choose to continue to Remove, the app indicated that a number of photos will be removed from the iPhone, although it does state that they will remain in iCloud
But, about this option you can see on Apple site http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT6378 in
(When do photos and videos upload to iCloud Photo Library?
When you turn on iCloud Photo Library on your devices, your photos and videos will begin to upload after you connect to the Internet using Wi-Fi. You can see the status on the Photos tab and pause upload for one day from Settings > iCloud > Photos.
Depending on your Internet connection speed, the time it takes for your photos and videos to appear on all of your devices might vary.)
Anyone have this issue too?

The Delete button is only available in your Photo Streams, Camera Roll or Albums you made on the iPhone. Synced photos from a computer can not be deleted and have to be done through the iTunes sync process.
Tap Photo Stream - My Photo Stream then tap on the Edit button here, there should be a Delete button at the bottom. If not try Resetting your iPhone:
From the Home screen double tap the Home button to view the multitasking bar at the bottom. Tap and hold an app at the bottom till the icons wiggle with the minus button visible. Tap the button to close all apps then tap the Home button to get back to the Home page. Press and hold the Sleep button till you see the Slide to power off message and power it off. Once powered down completely press and hold the sleep button till the Apple icon appears.

HT6378 I "upgraded" to iCloud Photo Library (Beta), my 2000+ pictures between my iphone/ipad has now become 85 photos. Where are the other 1900 pictures--not in the deleted folder?

I upgraded to iCloud Photo LIbrary (Beta) today but my 2000+ pictures have now become 85 pictures on the iCloud/iPhone & iPad. The pictures are not in the deleted folder. These "pictures" were NOT normal with prior IOS upgrades. I could not delete them. Where have all of these pictures gone?

Ok, so here's a solution to this issue:
Backed up my iPhone on iTunes
Did a factory reset on iPhone
Restored the thing from previous backup
Re-entered all my passwords and such
Now it's syncing again.
The whole procedure took me about two hours.
No idea why this happened. Beta, I guess.

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.

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
S

IF all your devices are using the same Apple id I belive it will.
