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.

  • 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.

  • 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,

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Can't re-enable iCloud Photo Library iPhone

    After upgrading to iOS 8 on my iPhone 5s and iPad (4th Gen) I turned on the iCloud Photo Library (beta) on both devices.  Since, I have bought an iPhone 6 and restored my backup to the iPhone 6 from the iPhone 5s backup.  The problem is that my photos didn't show up... so I decided to switch iCloud Photo Library off and on again hoping that the photos will re-download... Now here is the problem I have, when I switch iCloud Photo Library back on, I get the message "iCloud Photo Library Not Yet Available", though it's on my iPad and if I go to iCloud storage settings, it shows that I have a library... so I'm stuck with what to do...
    Any suggestions?

    iCloud Photo Library is in beta (with good reason) and there are a limited number of slots open to users. When you turned off iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone, you opened up a slot for another user. There is nothing you can do other than check from time to time to see if there is now an open slot available for you to re-enable the feature. However, given the trouble many users are experiencing with the service, it's probably not a bad idea to wait until at least iOS 8.1 is released.

  • 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?

  • Is there a way to use iCloud Photo Library WITHOUT syncing?

    The idea I had of iCloud Photo Library was that I could upload my pictures to it and access them from all my devices WITHOUT having to sync them.
    At the end of every month, I move all the photos from my phone to my computer. It helps me save space and keep things tidy. With iCloud Library, I want to access all my photos, but it looks like I must sync them through iCloud, and then to save space in my phone, I have to select "optimise space for iPhone". Is there any way to use iCloud Photo Library as a mere cloud storage? I don't want to keep photos on my phone, neither full resolution or "optimised" ones. I want to put them on iCloud, and when I need them, then I want my phone to download them.
    I realise I could use other cloud storage providers for this, but I have always liked Apple's integration with their own services, so if possible, I would like to use iCloud Photo Library without syncing to my devices. Just keep my stuff in iCloud, and when I tap it, download it.

    Doesn't work well in IE8 (9 I would think is ok), but is fine in the current version of Chrome.

  • ICloud Photo Library: How do I transfer photos and videos only from my iPhone to my iPad but not from my iPad to my iPhone?

    I had iCloud photo libraey turned on on both my iPad and iPhone. As said by the feature, photos and videos were being transferred automatically from each device to each other. I have a 64GB iPad Air 2 and my iPhone 5 only has 16GB of storage so I am lacking much more space on my iPhone than my iPad. I was wondering if there was a way to transfer photos only from my iPhone to my iPad but not from my iPad to my iPhone. Would turning off iCloud Photo library on my iPad do the trick? Thanks hope someone can help me out.

    iCloud Photo Library keeps all of your photos in the Cloud which you then can selectively download. So, unless you download the iPad photos, they are not going to be taking up any room on your iPhone:
    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.

  • 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.
