ICloud Photo Library won't upload pics from iPhone

Hi all,
So I think it might have been with the 8.3 update, but for some reason any new pics taken on my iPhone will not upload to my iCloud Photo Library. I've tried turning off/on iCloud Photo Library, syncing with my computer, etc. but nothing has helped. Anyone else struggling with this/have a solution getting your pics to sync between devices? Thanks!

I have the same issue. These are my findings so far:

I will be updating that post as I discover more.

ICloud Photo Library won't upload photos from my PC, cites network error

The new photo app for iCloud.com is supposed to allow uploading photos from my PC to my iCloud Photo Library, which will then be accessible from my iPad and iPhone. But when I try to upload photos from my PC I get a message that the upload failed due to "network error." Uploading from the iPhone or iPad works fine. Any suggestions?

Icloud photo library restarting entire upload process after process is complete

Recently turned on ICloud Photo Library, and everything transferred fine from my three devices (two iphones and rMBP), it took about a a week to upload everything (I have 22,000 photos, about 60 gb). The process basically merged my entire photo library from three separate devices. However, i discovered this morning that one of my iphones appears to be 'restarting' the upload process, and is trying to upload the entire content of its library, about 22,000 photos. This includes photos that were not in the iphone 6 originally, including photos from my Mac that was downloaded from the iCloud Photo Library.
Anyone encountered this problem before? My concern is that it will reupload everything resulting in 44,000 photos in my icloud library or at least duplicate some of the existing photos in the icloud photo library.
Thanks in advance.

Ah, one thing I forgot. Despite the fact that I let my Mac running since two weeks to get my Library online, the Photos App NEVER did an update FROM the icloud library. I added some Photos through Ipad and Iphone, but they never appeared in my Photos Library.
It is such a mess I tried to cry, but I cried enough when Mobile Me was around...

How do i avoid from photos getting deleted that were stored in iCloud photo library when i delete them from my iphone?

You can't delete it from your purchased list, as that is permanently maintained by the iTunes store. You can, however, prevent it from appearing in your song list by going to Settings>iTunes & App Store and turning off Music under Show All.

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,

ICloud Photo Library doesn't upload

I have this issue since this morning (I live in Italy, so it's been happening the whole day): when I take a photo (or save it) with my iPhone 6 (iOS 8.3), the Photos app starts to upload it but within a few seconds it stops, and instead of showing "uploading 1 photo" it shows "1 photo to upload" (I don't know if this sentences are right, since I have my iPhone set in Italian). I've already tried soft reset, turning off and then on iCloud Photo Library, and even the whole iCloud, but the issue isn't gone. Please someone help me!

It doesn't seem bad to me, though ...
My Photo Stream upload limits
The My Photo Stream limits below are based on anticipated upload patterns. My Photo Stream upload limits are as follows:
Uploads to My Photo Stream per hour: 1000 photos
Uploads to My Photo Stream per day: 10,000 photos
Uploads to My Photo Stream per month: 25,000 photos
If you exceed one of these limits, your uploads to My Photo Stream will pause temporarily and you might see a notification on your device. Your uploads will resume automatically when you no longer exceed the limit, such as in the following hour or on the following day.
iCloud Photo Sharing limits
These are the iCloud Photo Sharing hourly and daily limits:
Maximum combined number of photos and videos from all contributors per shared stream, per hour: 1000
Maximum combined number of photos and videos from all contributors per shared stream, per day: 10,000
These sharing limits are separate from the upload limits above. For example, in the same day you could upload 10,000 photos to My Photo Stream, then share those 10,000 photos or 10,000 other photos.Some additional limits for shared photo stream usage:
Maximum shared streams an owner can share: 100
Maximum shared streams a user can subscribe to: 100
Maximum subscribers per shared stream: 100 (the number of subscribers on each shared stream)
Maximum combined number of photos and videos from all contributors in any one shared stream album: 5000
Maximum number of comments per photo or video in a shared stream: 200 (a comment can be either a Like or a text entry)
Maximum characters per comment: 200
Maximum number of invites a shared stream owner may send per day: 200

ICloud Photo Library won't sync all photos

I've enabled iCloud Photo Library on my Macs & iOS devices... and have noticed that all my photos are not being sync'ed to iCloud... and the ones in iCloud are not being sync'ed to all my devices. (I'm running Mac OS X 10.10.3 on the Macs and iOS 8.3 on the iPad/iPhone.)
In my master Library on my iMac, I have 20,233 Photos and 344 Videos. According to the Photos app, all have been uploaded to iCloud.
However, according to iCloud - only about half of those photos are uploaded.
(I have plenty of storage on iCloud... I have paid for 200GB and am only using about 40GB.)
On my Macbook - I started the Photos app with an empty photo library, and then turned on iCloud Photo Library. On that computer, it reports a different number of photos - 9,923 photos. And, it too is supposedly "updated completely"
When I browse the Photos on an iOS device, it's about the same as the MacBook - but not exactly.
Anyone have any ideas here? I would expect all the photos from the iMac to show up on all devices.
Is there a log file somewhere I can examine to understand what is being uploaded and what isn't?
Thanks!

I managed to fix the problem articulated above. I think only photos that are copied into your Photos Library can be synced via iCloud. And, the approximately ~10,000 photos missing from iCloud were not in my Library.
On the iMac Photos Library, I selected all the photos (Cmd-A) and choose File->Consolidate from the menu... and this popup emerges:
I clicked "Copy" which apparently copies all the original images from my Pictures folder into the iCloud Library itself. Once this was done ... it uploaded missing files. Now - on all my devices I see the exact same number of photos and videos.

How do I make a photo book with low grade pics from iphones?

Hello,
Can Anyone give me some help I am trying to make a photo book with low grade photos from iphones.
Thank you!

What exactly is your question?
If you have low resolution photos then they will have to be printed smaller and the quality not be as good as if you had better photos - there is no way to make a poor photo better
And in general iPhone photos are not low resolution - what are the pixel dimensions of the photos? What size photos are you trying to print?

Iphoto won't upload pictures from iphone anymore

Hi there, whilst I was uploading my photos from my iphone to iphoto, my macbook battery died (eventhough it said 35 mins left-but that's a different story!) when i reconnected everything iphoto won't let me upload - it keeps saying 'iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image.' No pictures are actually in iphoto from the upload when the battery died so I don't know why it keeps saying this. I tried using Image capture but this didn't work either...Can someone help please?

I updated my phone to iOS 7.1.1 since writing my post, and that seemed to fix the problem. Thank you!

IPhoto won't upload pictures from iPhone

I'm having trouble uploading photos from my iPhone 4 to iPhoto on my MacBook. When I connect my phone to the computer, iPhoto doesn't automatically open like it use to. However, if I manually open iPhoto it recongnizes that my phone is connected. When I click on my device it shows that there are no pictures to import, when infact, there are. The last time I uploaded photos from my phone to my computer was at the end of December. I believe there has been at least one or two updates to the iPhone since. Could that have something to do with it? Does anyone have any advice? Thanks!

I updated my phone to iOS 7.1.1 since writing my post, and that seemed to fix the problem. Thank you!

TS3989 Issues uploading pics from iPhone 4S to PC with Windows Vista

I have added Photo Stream on my PC. Only 65 pictures from my iPhone have been uploaded (most recent ones), I cannot find on any forum any reference to this issue and how to upload all the pictures.
How can I get all pictures, not only latest ones?
Thanks. Brian

Hello, OcnBrez.
I know how important these are to you and will do my best to help. The first question I have is how are you importing these videos? Any error messages received when attempting to play these videos? Video importing does require Quicktime 7.6.2 or later. Below, I have listed the article on how to import your photos. I have also included the download link for the latest version of Quicktime for Windows.

Went from Mountain Lion to Yosemite on 2009 MacBook Pro. Safari now randomly shuts down; Word doesn't work properly; iPhoto will not upload pics from iPhone; EVERYTHING is horribly slow. How to I go back to Mountain Lion?

Is there a way to go back to Mountain Lion after updating to Yosemite? Yosemite has caused nothing but problems in multiple programs. Mountain Lion ran fine. Not sure why I even updated. I am NOT a computer guru so instructions I have read for the many Yosemite fixes blow my mind. Should I be taking my MacBook Pro to the Genius Bar at the nearest Apple Store (2 hours away)? I have been a Mac user and lover for many years and am SO frustrated and disappointed in all of it right now. Please advise on what a non-tech frustrated Mac user can do.

Technically, you can downgrade if you have the following:
Your computer must be elligible to run Mountain Lion. If your computer came with Mavericks or Yosemite out of the box, you can forget it.
You need an already existing Mountain Lion installer file. If you still have that somewhere, for example in your Applications folder, or anywhere else, it's usable- note that it needs to be originally downloaded with your own Apple ID and password. If you made a Mountain Lion USB installer or DVD back then that would work too. If your Time Machine back-ups go back to the days of Mountain Lion or Lion you could check your Applications folder from inside Time Machine and restore it to your computer.
To not have data loss you need a Time Machine back-up that goes back to when you were still running Mountain Lion. Please note that this will revert your data to exactly the date that you choose. If you installed Mavericks 2 months ago, you will loose 2 months worth of data.

ICloud Photos Disappeared after enabling iCloud Photo Library

Hi,
I have quite a complicated problem.
About two weeks ago I bought a new iPhone 5S (now running iOS 8), to replace my ageing iPhone 5.
All my photos were backed up on the iPhone 5, and then restored onto my 5S.
Recently, when I enabled iCloud photo library (Beta) on my 5S, all of my photos from a period of time (January to October this year) became grey thumbnails on my iPhone. When I looked at an individual photo, a message: 'loading' was where the photo should have been.
The loss of all of these photos is seriously troubling for me, and anyone who can give me a solution to this problem will receive huge respect from me.

Hi goblue123,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that some of your older photos appear to have been removed from your iPhone after turning on iCloud Photo Library beta. Please read over the attached article for why this may have happened. If the photos are still on your computer, you can sync them back to your iPhone.
iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
What if some of my photos are missing after I turn on iCloud Photo Library?
iCloud Photo Library won't upload lower resolution photos and videos synced to your device from iTunes. You can use these steps to move the photos from your computer to your iOS device.
Best regards,
Joe
