ICloud Photo Library has stopped downloading.

I have successfully uploaded my collection of photos to the iCloud, around 85GB.  All of the pictures appear on my iPad and iPhone and I have edited pictures on the phone and these then appear on the iMac within seconds.  On my MacBook Pro only about 50% of the pictures have downloaded and it will not download any further pictures.  The MacBook has 350GB of disc space free and I have unlimited broadband, is there anyway I can "reboot" the Photos App?

I had the same problem and restarted my Mac, quit all other Apps, especially iTunes, and then it eventually worked. 
In the previous version, all the latest photos used to show up automatically in my Photo Stream on my Mac and in the Events Library in a new folder created for that Month.  You then could move them into your own folders as you wished.  This no longer happens. You have to create a new folder in your Events folder and then share the photo with that Event folder.

  • ICloud photo library has not updated in 73 days

    "Connect to wifi to update"
    Phone is rarely not connected to Wifi, obviously.
    Anyone else getting this?

    Hello Welles13,
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. iCloud Photo Library beta requires a Wi-Fi connection to upload photos and videos:
    iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT6378
    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.
    Cheers,
    Matt M.

  • Icloud photo library on windows pc not syncing

    I have an iPhone 6 and activated iCloud Photo Library.  I downloaded and installed iCloud for Windows on two different PCs.   Neither of those PCs have all of the photos in their iCloud Photo Library that are on my phone.   There are 316 pictures on the phone, while one PC has 110 photos and the other has 151 photos.  The most recent photos on the PCs are from March 28th, which is about 3 weeks ago.   Obviously the syncing is "stuck" but I haven't been able to unstick it. I have tried turning off iCloud Photo Library in the iCloud control panel on the PC and then turning it back on.   that doesn't help.

  • Does iPhoto 9.6 work with iCloud Photo Library at all?

    I have iOs 8.1, but I have not enabled iCloud Drive or iCloud Photo Library yet, and I have not updated to Yosemite yet. I don't want to activate those until I know how photos between thee mac and iPhone will work after they are enabled.
    Does iPhoto 9.6 interact at all with iCloud Photo Library? Does it even "see" iCPL photos similar to PhotoStream? Can it import from there? Do any of the crops and edits come through in iPhoto from the iOS photos app (whether imported from the iCPL or even via direct d/l from the phone via usb?

    So what are you guys doing to manage your photos until the OSX Photos app come out? Just not using iCloud Photo Library at all I assume?
    Can you use iCloud photo library but still manually import photos into iPhoto from USB import?
    You can view your iCloud Photo Library (Beta) and download from iCloud Photo Library (Beta) at https://beta.icloud.com  or https://www.icloud.com  on your Mac, if you click the "Photos" icon. Click the "?" mark, to view the help for "Photos". But you cannot yet upload directly from your Mac to this library, even if the iCloud Photos Help is saying otherwise.
    You can download to your mac from your devices using USB, but with iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled on your iPad or iPhone, you can no longer sync photos to them using iTunes Photo sync. So it is hard to get any photos onto your devices at the moment, other than using Photo Stream. To upload  photos to your iPad/iPhone using iTunes you have to disable iCloud Photo Library. And the synced photos will be erased, when you enable iCloud Photo Library again.

  • My photos library has been loading for four days.  Any idea what the issue might be?

    My iCloud photos library has been trying to load for four days.  What is the issue?

    Greetings ok_takem,
    After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an issue with photo syncing. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    How to restart
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
    Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    How to reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • I am receiving an error message that "photos has stopped respoding" when I try to upload photos to icloud photo library

    I keep receiving an error message "Photos has stopped responding" when I try to upload photos to icloud photo library.

    Hi, I had the same problem. I finally figured it out. Plug in the USB cord to your ipad, but beofre plugging it into your computer make sure your ipad is not in the locked or sleep mode. Once I did this, my photos showed up and started downloading. Hope that helps you!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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.
