I turned off iCloud Photo Library and switched it back on, and now it says my photos won't fit on my Mac.

I migrated my iPhoto Library to the new Photos app with no problem, and when it finished migrating, I switched on iCloud Photo Library, again with no problem. My entire photo library uploaded, and I chose to keep the originals stored on my Mac.
This all went according to plan, but I just switched iCloud Photo Library off, and then on again, and now it says that the "full-resolution photos and videos stored in iCloud will not fit on this Mac." This is can't be the case, because the full-resolution files are already on my mac, that's where they came from before I even uploaded them to the cloud. It seems like it's trying to download them all again, without recognizing that the same photos that are in the cloud, are already on my Mac.
Any advice on how I can solve this?

You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.

    IF you have successfully imported your pictures to your Mac http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083  then it's safe to delete it from your phone.
    If you want the pics back on your phone, just sync them back using itunes http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

  • MacBook Pro turned off on its own and now won't turn back on.

    MacBook Pro turned off on its own and now won't turn back on.  Battery had 41% just before this happened and green indicator on power cord is showing, so it seems like it's charging.  What should I do?

    The led on the power adapter should be amber if it is charging.  Green just indicates that it is supplying power to the MBP.
    Try a SMC reset:

  • Will turning off My Photo Stream also turn off iCloud Photo Sharing?

    I don't like the new Photos app in iOS 8.  I was a frequent user of the iPhoto app and am sad to see it go.  It was the best app I found for quick white balance fixes (you could point to skin on a picture and it set the white balance appropriately).  It was also great for seeing EXIF data, location data, and for sending photos to other editing apps.  The Photos app has limited support for sending to other editing apps, actually it doesn't send photos to any of the editing apps.  It also does not readily display photo informations.  The edits in the Photo app leave something to be desired (since it meant the demise of iPhoto).  I am also not a fan of how camera roll and Photo Stream are meshed together.  My family uses the iPhoto desktop app which is tied to my Photo Steam.  In iOS 7 it was easy to just ignore the Photo Stream since it would include everyone's photos and work on my camera roll, but now it's a cluttered mess.
    Since I have a subscription to Adobe Lightroom there is no need for the Photo Stream backup, so I am tempted to turn My Photo Stream off.  As indicated in the title, I would like to know if turning off My Photo Stream will also delete photos I've shared in iCloud with other users.  I would like those photos to stay and the ability to share photos going forward.  Since My Photo Stream and sharing on iCloud are two different options in Setting, I assume that turning one off won't affect the other.  Can anyone verify?

    Save your photo stream photos to your camera roll by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  Then you can delete them from photo stream and the copies in the camera roll will remain on your phone.  Note: deleting them from photo stream will delete them from iCloud and all your devices.

  • While syncing last time the computer turned off during the process and now when I try to get ont oitunes the phone is read only as a camera device and I cant  sync my phone.  I have tried re installing itunes and have turned every thing off and on. Help!!

    While syncing my Iphone the computer turned off and now Itunes doesnt read the connection. A message appears that I have plugged in my camera on my pc.I have gone through turning every thing off and on and re installing Itunes but still no luck. Any suggestions?

    If iTunes cannot see your iPhone.
    First, try soft-resetting your iPhone.  Press and hold sleep/wake and home button, ignore the slide bar - keep pressing.
    When you see the Apple logon, let go.  When the phone has restarted, plug into PC. Will iTunes see iPhone now?
    If not, you'll have to do a DFU restore - please note that this will wipe everything on your iPhone. If you have a recent backup (iTunes does this by default), then you're in luck and you can restore everything back.
    If not, then...hmm well... Oh bum.  Maybe you have an iCloud backup? I haven't tried this so I can't comment.

  • HT1539 My computer shut off during the download and now it says my code has been used but it did not download to my iTunes, is there another way to download it?

    Can someone please tell me what to do if I was downloading a digital copy of a dvd from and website and my computer turned off in the middle...now it tells me the code has already been used but it did not download, ugh.
    Thanks

    You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode for it to be recognised by your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad and re-sync your content to it.

  • Turn off iCloud in iTunes 11 Library?

    I recently upgraded to iTunes 11 and am somewhat disapointed with the results. The new features are great, however, one annoys me very. Is there a way to turn off iCloud in my music library? My music library is now flooded with tracks that I want nothing to do with. Please help.

    Go to Prefs>Store, uncheck Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases
    If you still see them:
    Go to your music, then View>Hide iTunes in the cloud.
    Select each of your media types in kind (Movies, TV Shows, etc.) and go to View>Hide iTunes in the cloud
    To further decouple your library from the Store/Cloud:
    Go to Store>Turn Off iTunes Match and Turn Off Genius.
    Go to Prefs>General, uncheck Genius
    Go to Prefs>Store, uncheck Sync playback info, Automatically download album artwork, share info with Apple

  • How can i recover my photos if i restored my phone but turned off icloud backup?

    how can i recover my photos if i restored my phone but turned off icloud backup?

    Do you have any backup at all for your device? If you do, then you can restore from that backup and get any photos that were on it. If you have imported your photos to your computer, you can sync them back to your device via an iTunes sync. If you had Photo Stream turned on, you can recover your Photo Stream for the last 30 days or 1000 photos on that Photo Stream (whichever comes first) by signing onto the iCloud account that the Photo Stream was turned on for.
    Cheers,

  • Can't turn on iCloud Photo Library

    I'm trying to turn on iCloud Photo Library on my iPhone as I understand it'll help free up storage space.
    However, when I go to settings>iCloud>photos I only have the option to turn on 'My Photo Stream' rather than iCloud Photo Library and can't work out why that is!
    Any help would be much appreciated

  • My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can i fix this without turning off iCloud?

    My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can I fix this without turning off iCloud?
    I am at a new office that uses Outlook (not Outlook Exchange) which does not sync with my mobile... I just got iCloud set up on my PC to sync my contacts, calendar, reminders, etc... The sync worked (not without flaws, but the other issues seem solvable... I think), so that i can now see all my appointments on both my phone and on my PC. The problem I am having is that iCloud moved all of my calendar items from Outlook into iCloud calendar and now when I send out meeting/calendar invites the recipients may accept them, but the meeting does not get added to their calendar. This is a huge problem and may mean that i need to turn off iCloud.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks!

    I am replying to my own post here as I seem to have fixed the problem.
    I do have some calendars that are shared. Some of those are shared with users who have time zone support turned on. So i activated time zone support on my iphone, then deleted my icloud subscription. I then signed in to icloud again and voila... problem solved.
    It is a weird one as the other calendar views were always fine and when you opened an event that appeared in the wrong day (on list view), the correct date of the event was shown in the information...
    one more bug in a complicated system I guess
