ICloud photo library bug

I believe I have found a bug (or not common sense) on the web viewer for the iCloud.com/#photos. when looking at photos full screen using Moments, there are left and right arrows that take you to the next photo. But when viewing using Albums at particular album, after selecting a picture and viewing, the left and right arrows take you back to the Albums page and not the next photo in the album.
Is there somewhere better that I should post this?
Thanks, Michael

ICloud Photo Library resolution bug(?)

Ok..so I enabled iCloud Photo Library after updating to iOS 8.1. Everything seemed ok except the fact that downloading to my PC a picture from beta.icloud.com saves a 2048 x 1536 res picture, rather than the full 3264 x 2448 original photo. Is this normal? I really can't find it's utility and it makes me anxious turning on the optimize storage feature....will this result in me losing all my full-res photos to 2048x1536 ones? Now, I know this is only a beta service, but this type of bug sends it back to a more like alpha stage in my opinion.

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.
Thanks

I 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.

Albums in iCloud photo library

Can I create albums in iCloud Photo Library that are visib across all my devices?
ALso, can I add photo albums from my PC(not taken on iOS device) to my library?

When I drag albums into the correct order in Photos for Mac, they show up in reverse order on the iOS devices. Thus there seems to be a bug in either iOS 8.3, OS 10.10.3 or iCloud Photo Library.
The browser version of iCloud Photo Library (icloud.com) is currently updating. I am waiting to see which way my albums are sorted there.
There is no promise at all, or documented anywhere, how sorting of library items will sync across the devices. This has been haphazard when syncing iPhoto Libraries - synced faces not sorted, synced events not sorted, etc. So it is at least a step in the right direction, in Photos that the albums are sorted at all.

IPhone video sync quality to iphoto after iCloud photo library enabled

I'm still trying to wrap my head around how this works.
Since I opted to enable my iPhone 6 to optimize videos and photos that are stored locally on my phone, I presume this means that after I record a video, this will be synced to iCloud photo library in full quality, and thereafter removed from my phone, only to be replaced by a compressed version of the same video, and thereby reducing the amount of space needed on the phone to store the video in question. Correct?
If so, why is the result of a manual sync with iPhoto a couple days after enabling the feature, all my videos in full resolution? I mean framerate, data rate and resolution is the same as it always has been and doesn't seem compressed in any way. I know how iCloud would compress the file because of the current download bug on iCloud.com also discussed on this forum that only makes it possible to download the compressed version of the videos even though it seems to store them in full quality. The compressed version is only 720p and about 3500kb data rate.
Any clues? Maybe it's just a beta bug. I mean the videos on my phone should all be a compressed since I can see the at iCloud.com and thereby also sync to iPhoto in compressed form.

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.

ICloud Photo Library beta in iOS 8.0.2 - 1134 missing photos?

HI, I foolishly decided to try iCloud Photo Library beta which I activated (after several tries) on my iPad. I chose the "Optimise iPad Storage" option. I had 1189 photos on my iPad, but only 55 are now visible. I checked to see how many were in the iCloud (to do this, on any of my devices I can go to Settings>iCloud>Storage>Manage Storage>iCloud Photo Library> ...it confirms that there are 55 photos in the iCloud. So where are the other 1134?? If I go back to the Photos app and go to Collections, at the bottom it tells me how many photos I have in total - it correctly says 1189, even though only 55 show up. Help please!!

seriously, I don't think there's any bug. I suspect that Apple is aware of everything; I guess they're just testing different configurations on their servers, checking the load etc... another example is that obviously keeping optimized versions of images locally doesn't work for everyone. In my case and in the case of many others who posted here, full res images remain stored locally hours after iCloud has been fully synced, even when the "keep optimized" setting is checked.
Another thing, minor annoyance, updating manually (by clicking on the button at the bottom) doesn't work here; the page must reloaded. Well yes, it all works like a very early beta; shouldn't have been announced and released yet imo.

Icloud photo library doesn't syncr from my iPhone

Hello to everyone,
I Have activated iCloud Photo Library on my iPhone and on my iPod. My iPod sync, but my iPhone 6 Plus has stopped doing it for a long time. I have extra space available on my iCloud account. I've tried to disable and to re-nable the function on my iPhone. I've tried to logout and to logon in my iCloud account, but nothing change, the syncro seems frozen, remain stuck in uploading photos to the cloud, and do not download/show anything. I have uploaded in the iCloud Photo app on the www.icloud.com site more photos that i can immediately see on my iPod (touch 8gb 6th generation), but nothing on my iPhone. I restored my iPhone but nothing again. I know that it's a beta, but I would like to know if I can resolve this big issue for me in somehow.
Anybody here has had the same problem?
Many thanks in advance fo any suggestion/solution.

Trent 1982 solution works!
I tried just about everything that I could think of as well as some of the solutions described above. What worked was syncing my iPad with iTunes and transferring a few photos over to the iPad. Then I turned on iCloud Photo Library and it asked to delete the photos I transferred and then iCloud Photo Library started syncing!
This problem has been bugging me for weeks and I am glad that it is fixed now!

Videos not appearing in my Apple TV library after activating iCloud photo library

Hi
Ive activated iCloud photo library on all my devices (other than mac). All seems to be syncing and playing correctly on my iPhone, iPad and iCloud.com however, when I view on my Apple TV none of the videos show in the list. Ive updated the software to the latest version.
Am I doing something wrong perhaps?!
thanks for any help on the matter!
Nick

I'm not a 100% sure.
I had som many duplicates after my import to Photo (from iPhoto), and while some were zombie files, and others because I had screwed a little with my iPhoto package. But when I imported I did have several albums shared, and they were all duplicated.
I unshared all my albums, and I'm currently working on cleaning up my library before sharing again (so I have a good base to start from).
Here is what I think might be happening (or at least hope, otherwise it's a big bug): When you share an album... as far as iCloud is concerned, they are probably treated as separate items in the cloud. Which means Photos is creating a copy. I have the feeling that if you delete the original in your library, the copy you have shared will remain.
But the thing that probably shouldn't happen, is that Years/Collections/Moments is displaying both the master version you had originally, and the version that is shared.
Remember... these are only my thoughts, since I'm not at the point of testing this yet.

ICloud Photo Library with automatic photo upload services such as Dropbox and Google

After enabling iCloud Photo Library in iOS 8, do automatic photo upload services such as Dropbox and Google+ still upload photos in full resolution?
Or do they upload the low resolution file?

About iCloud Photos Library Beta, it is yet more a preview than a beta
Do not rely on it to store full res Photos/Videos even if you have a 200GB iCloud Store
Major Bugs (according to help description of fonctionality):
-only IOS8 Photos manually edited are uploaded full res from IOS ! If you do not edit you get low res photos in iCloud Library
-uploaded 1080p videos from IOS are converted to 720p 5mb/s as in existing Photo Sharing and not originals.
-No upload button in web iCloud photo Client on MAC for many (all?) users
Also very slow and very often stuck doing nothing.
I am afraid we would have to wait for next year... or later
What is unbelievable is that there are no information at all by Apple about what should word on the beta, and known problems, nor any release date, that is definitely not a beta, just powerpoint preview. I am very angry after all the fuss they have done around "new" iCloud and my 200GB monthly payment that I cannot use.

ICloud Photo Library taking up too much space

I am using iCloud Photo library, and noticed that it was taking up too much of my iCloud memory. I have 4 photos and no videos, and that uses around 300 MB of storage. What can I do to change this? Is this a bug?

If I upload my entire Photo Library to iCloud Drive, then delete photos from my Library (on my computer), can I still access those deleted photos on my iCloud Drive?
An iPhoto library will not work properly on iCloud Drive. It will be corrupted by the syncing. An iPhoto Library needs to be on a locally connected volume or on your system drive. Move your iPhoto Library to a small portable drive as described here: Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library
A second problem is, that you cannot save space on your computer by uploading to iCloud Drive, because iCloud will keep local shadow copies of all items in your user library. Moving files to include Drive will not save any space at all. (iCloud Drive FAQ)

Photostream and iCloud Photo Library Mutually Exclusive??

I turned on the iCloud Photo Library on Monday after upgrading my devices to iOS 8.1. I recently noticed that the Photostream portion of the Photos app disappeared, and I can no longer see any of my wife's photos in my library (she is not using iCloud Photo Library).
My take away is that if you enable iCloud Photo Library, then Photostream is disabled (or doesn't function the same). Is this true? In the iCloud and Photos settings page, there is sitll an option to enable Photostream, but my iPhone is no longer pulling those photos off of the Photostream.
This seems like a poor strategy for mechanization since the iCloud Photo Library is not fully supported within OS X, but Photostream is. Why not keep both for the time being, especially since Photostream does not go against your iCloud quota, but the iCloud Photo Library does.
Apple should at least let you use both until iCloud Photo Library is fully supported within OS X.
Can anyone confirm my suspicions or provide more information? I maybe forced to disable iCloud Photo Library just so my wife and I can share pictures...

Yes, your Photostream album goes away. The idea here is that Photostream and "iCloud Photo Library" are covering the same particular area (which is in common with each other) and that area is the "photo sharing" part.
Now, in regards to why can't Apple include them both when you choose to activate the "iCloud Photo Library" ... is simply that you choose to be a "beta tester" in "iCloud Photo Library" ... so you get what you choose in that regard. No one is required to be a "beta tester" and they shouldn't be, if they are not suited to doint that sort of thing. But, you decided you wanted to be a "beta tester" ... so that's what a beta tester gets ... they get to "test out the system" and report any problems and bugs to Apple so that Apple can bring the "beta program" to "final status" and release it to the general public.

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.

Can I share an iCloud photo library between family members?

I am searching for a good photo and video backup solution for my entire family. Previously I was backing up photos to a Windows Home Server that did a weekly backup to Amazon's cloud storage; however, the system disk on the home server blew up, leaving me with the choice to rebuild the server or alternatively look for a more seamless, lightweight solution. I have large quantity of photos and video on a home server data drive, as well as a large number of photos that have been recently scanned to my MacBook pro. We have almost completely transitioned to Apple products and use Time Machine for Macbook backups, so that function of the Home Server is no longer useful.
I like the concept of Apple's iCloud Photo Library; however, I need a solution that allows photos from at least my wife's and my devices to be seamlessly backed up to the library. We use different iCloud IDs. The ideal use case would be that photos taken on any of our devices (across a set of iCloud IDs) would be shared within a single library.
Family Sharing allows you to share a number of things across family members, but currently the photo library doesn't appear to be one of them.
Any pointers on how to proceed? Will the OS X Photo app and the move to bring iCloud library to the Mac make any difference? Any alternative solutions?

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 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.
