ICloud wants to upload the same photos again...

I just uploaded 24,000 pics to the iCloud. Now when I tick the setting "iCloud Photo Library" and select "Download originals to this Mac", it wants to upload all the photos again... and of course tells me that I have to upgrade my storage plan... I already have the 500GB plan. It's as if iCloud doesn't recognise that all the pics I uploaded from the same computer. Help...

Hmm, no reply so far... so this is what I did. I saw that all the pics were in fact in the iCloud. So I decided to take the risk and delete all the pics and videos on the hard drive (I have a backup!) and then download them all from iCloud. This seems to have worked. Now all devices are in sync.
However, even now after a few weeks, none of my devices, iphone, ipad and Macbook Pro are able to browse all the pics. It's incredibly slow and very often I get the message : Cannot load Photo! Very annoying. Does anyone else get this? It seems the cloud cannot handle this mass of pictures. Surely I am no exception out there with this number of pictures...
I am very frustrated. I just can't find a good solution for my picture library. Photos seemed good, but it's not working smoothly enough. Am looking at Adobe, Amazon Cloud Drive, Flickr - but they all have certain deficiencies - iCloud would have it all - syncing, editing, storing, sharing, uploading RAW files... but it's the most expensive out there... and it's not really working...
Sigh. My Synology station is not doing it for me either. I suppose I am asking for too much.

  • I had ordered a photo book print two years back. I want to reorder the same book again now. However, I have lost the album project in iphoto. Is there any way to see my print order history and reorder the same book for print ?

    I had ordered a photo book print two years back. I want to reorder the same book again now. However, I have lost the album project/photos from iphoto.
    Is there any way to see my print order history and reorder the same book for print ?

    No.  Apple only keeps the pdf file for a book for 30 days.  Without the library and book project you won't be able to reorder the same book.
    Even though the horse is out of the barn the following tutorial might be of help for future books, i.e. create a new library for each book): iP08 - Archiving an iPhoto Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date

  • I just uploaded my iTunes library to the cloud using iTunes Match. When I buy a new song from iTunes, is it automatically put in the Cloud or do I have to push iTunes Match. I certainly don't want to upload the whole library again. Thanks

    I just uploaded my iTunes library to the cloud using iTunes Match. When I buy a new song from iTunes, is it automatically sent to the Cloud or do I have to click on iTunes Match? I certainly don't want to start the whole upload process over again. Thanks

    It should do so automatically, if not check it's staus this way.
    In iTunes press "Command J" or select "View Options," under the view menu. In the popup window check iCloud Status. It will now appear as one of the columns in your main iTunes window.
    This column will show which of your songs are matched, uploaded, ineligible, etc.
    When you navigate to the song you downloaded you will see it's iCloud status.
    If the status says, "waiting," and you want it available on Match now, then in the iTunes "Store," menubar pulldown, select "Update iTunes Match."
    It will scan your drive, and update all status'.
    You will not have to upload everything again.
    Even if in iTunes you turn Match off, and back on again.
    Match remembers you!

  • When i open a page in the history i don't want to see the same page again

    Is there a way to have firefox know that i am searching for a page or more but i don't want to see them again posted because i don't know if i already searched that page.
    Also if there is a way to show the date and time that might tell me the ones i have already open.

    Maybe show the visit count column in the History Manager (Library) via Views > Columns

  • HT1414 How do I totally erase an apple ID? I have somehow got it all wrong. I want to use the same email again.

    Help?

    OK, it seems like we are missing each other.  Here's the situation.  I have my Apple ID which is...[email protected](for example purposes).  I have 3 emails already attached to it...[email protected](The primary), [email protected](an alternate)  and [email protected](another alternate).  All 3 emails are currently attached and working with my Apple ID of [email protected]  Been like this for a year or 2 now, maybe even longer.  I do intend to continue using my own ID ([email protected]) as my own.
    I deleted the [email protected] because I am trying to set up an Apple ID for my daughter using [email protected] as her Apple ID.  It is her email and she's been using it for a couple years.  No reason to have her share my apple ID while using her email.
    The result is that every time I try and create a new ID using [email protected] as the Apple ID, I get the message that [email protected] is already associated with another Apple ID, even though I have deleted it from my ID of [email protected]

  • Execute the same trigger again within the trigger..

    Hi Guys,
    I want to execute the same trigger again while i am within the same trigger.
    Like for example if this is the when-button-pressed trigger of my button in the block:
    Declare
    abc number;
    begin
    if abc = 9 then
    when-button-presses == should start from the Declare again...
    else
    null;
    end if;
    end;
    This is just an eample i have written a huge code in my when button press trigger.
    Is there any built-in to re-execute the same trigger within the trigger.
    Plis Help,
    Imran Baig

    There is an EXECUTE_TRIGGER built-in, but using program units is preferred. If you look up EXECUTE_TRIGGER in online help, there are reasons given why you probably shouldn't use it.

    No.
    One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
    But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
    Create separate computer logins for each of you.
    This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library).

  • How do I change the icloud account on my iphone? I want to use the same account for all my apple devices (macbook air and imac and iphone). I can't see where I can amend the iphone account because it is in grey?

    I want to use the same account for all my apple devices (macbook air, imac and iphone). I can't see how I can amend the iphone account because it is in grey? I also can't remember the password for this account so i can't even delete it and start again?
    Help!
    Thanks

    Deleting an iCloud account only deletes it from the Device, not from iCloud.  In iOS 8, the name of this setting changed to "Sign Out" as that is a better reflection of what actually happens.  Your iCloud data remains on the server, available to devices still signed into the account, but the device you sign out of the account on is disconnected from the account, and as a result, the iCloud data from that account is removed from the device.  It will redownload to the device should you sign back into the account.
    The only issue you'll run into when you switch between accounts is with my photo stream photos older than 30 days.  When you delete (or sign out of) and account, your photo stream photos are deleted along with the other data from the account in question.  However, unlike other data which remains on the server and can redownload to your device when you sign back in, my photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days.  When you sign back in, you will only get back my photo stream photos added in the last 30 days (as older photos are no longer in iCloud to redownload).  Like other account data, any my photo stream photos on your other devices signed into the account are unaffected by this.  If you want to keep older my photo stream photos on your device as you change iCloud accounts, save them to your camera roll before deleting (signing out of) the account.

  • HT204053 My wife and I each have an apple computer and an iPhone.  Setting them up with the iCloud put us on the same account.  I take a lot of photos on job sites and she takes her own photos we have to scan though each others photos to find our own.  Ho

    My wife and I each have an apple computer and an iPhone.  Setting them up with the iCloud put us on the same account.  I take a lot of photos on job sites and she takes her own photos we have to scan though each others photos to find our own.  How do I separate the accounts without one of us losing our own stuff?

    Decide which device will be changing accounts.  On that device, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll that you want to keep on the device, save them to the camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. 
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The device(s) that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iDevice.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
    Finally, to delete any data that you don't want in each account (such as deleting your wife's data from your account, and vice versa) you will have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete it.

  • The photo print quality from my Mac to my Epson Artisan 810 is poor.  When I take the same photo files (JPEGs) to my PC to print to the same printer without even uploading them to the PC, they print brighter and crisper from my PC.

    The photo print quality from my Mac to my Epson Artisan 810 is poor.  I just purchased my iMac for my photography business in Jan. (this is my first Mac).  When I first tried printing, I noticed the quality wasn't as good as I expected it to be.  Then, I had to print 4-3.5x5s on a sheet, so I e-mailed the image to myself and opened it on my PC to print it (much easier to print that way on PC in Windows Photo Gallery - I think it's impossible to print that way in iPhoto).  That's when I first noticed that when I take the same photo files (JPEGs) to my PC to print to the same printer without even uploading them to the PC, they print brighter and crisper from my PC.
    I've already been on the phone and e-mail w/Applecare many times over this issue. We've tried creating a test user and printing from there, and we've tried reinstalling the OS.  I've tried printing from iPhoto, ImageCapture, and Preview apps/utilities, all w/the same result - no comparison to the PC-printed versions (no enhancements have been performed on the PC).
    I'm out of ideas, and so is Applecare.  They say it's most likely a driver issue b/c the printer is outdated, and that the only solution is to buy a new printer.  BUT it is a pain for me to purchase a new printer - it takes days of research due to the nature of my business and the fact that I need a printer that can print directly onto a disc.  I love this printer and don't want to have to buy a new one if I don't have to.

    Yes.  I've checked for updates, and the driver I installed is the same as the one on Epson's website.  I also spoke with Epson Customer Service, which was a dead end.  Apple says the problem is due to an Epson driver issue (blaming Epson), but Epson says that with the older printers, it's actually Apple who creates the driver, so the problem is actually with Apple.  Typical he-said, she-said...
    Maybe not. Probably worth checking here:

    You'll need to create an Apple ID for each device. Use the new Apple ID for FaceTime, iMessage and iCloud on the device. Use the original Apple ID for Settings>iTunes & App Store.
