Photo albums in iCloud/Photo Stream?

Hello everybody,
is it possible to create photo albums in iCloud?
I would like to have albums of my last trip's photos uploaded into iCloud, so that I can access them from my iPhone/iPad without using up the devices' limited storage space. Uploading photos into the Photo Stream just results into "one big album", without any structure....
I love the comfort of iPhoto and iCloud and cannot believe Apple is not offering this basic cloud feature.
Thank you for your help!

have you looked at a shared PhotoStream for thos photos? that way you can share different sets of photos - much like albums

  • HT6378 How to copy iPhoto albums to iCloud Photo Library?

    I have several years of photos in my iPhoto library.  How do I copy these into iCloud Photo Library, retaining all my albums?  I don't want to just copy all the photos without keeping my organization. 

    After having upgraded all devices to latest version, I wonder how do you get now the Mac iPhoto library into iCloud Photo library? iCloud Photo Library setting has been enabled on all devices.
    iPhoto on your Mac is not supposed to work with iCloud Photo Library. The new "Photos" app for the mac will be able to do it. The release of this app  has been announced for "Early next year".
    For now, only your mobile devices can upload to iCloud Photo Library.  So you have to upload your photos to the mobile devices to get them into iCloud Photo Library Beta.
    That is not easy, because you cannot upload from your iPhoto library to your iOS 8 devices using iTunes with  iCloud Photo Library Beta enabled on the device. It will disable syncing photos with iTunes. As long as you are using  iCloud Photo Library Beta, mail the Photos to your devices or upload using Photo Stream.

  • Can I organise photos into albums within iCloud Photo Library?

    i Understand that edits / deletes etc in iCloud Photo Libary will be reflected on all my iOS devices but can I organise my photos into albums using iCloud photo library?
    basically I want to take photos on my iPhone, review them on my iPad, delete the ones I don't want and keep the good ones in a relevant album (e.g. "Summer holiday 2014"). Then I want to be able to see identical albums on both my iPad and iPhone. From what I've seen so far, when I create an album and save a photo to it then that album is only local to that device?
    please help.

    Are you saying it showed 800 photos before turning off iCloud photo library or that the 800 photos disappeared after you enabled iCloud photo library for the first time, the distinction is quite important.

  • Share an album using iCloud Photo Library

    Hello.
    I'm currently using the iCloud Photo Library and it's great.
    But, I want to share an album (or just a few photos). But iCloud Photo Library does still not allow to share an album.
    So, I want to use a Shared PhotoStream Album. And it seems that the iPhone is uploading my files (photos and videos) to the Shared PhotoStream.
    Tell me if it is right... In fact, why the phone is re-uploading the videos/photos if there are already uploaded to my iCloud Library ?
    Best regards,
    Alexis

    If I want to share some pictures and videos, I have to specify which photos, album and person... Yes, of course. But when I want to validate the creation of the album, I'll have to wait a long time, in particular if my Wifi is slow. In fact, if the video is already uploaded in the iCloud Photo Library, Apple should simply copy/paste it in the Share Album...

  • 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.

  • How to create Album in iCloud Photos on Mac?

    Anyone know how to create an album in iCloud photos on the Mac?  It has a section for "My Albums" but I have no clue how to create one.  I want to put all photos into named albums instead of just moments.  I see how to do it on iPhone but it doesn't sync to the iCloud on Mac to look the same.  Let me know what I am missing or not seeing here.  Thanks

    You cannot yet create albums in the iCloud Photos.app, only in the Photos.app on your mobile iOS 8 devices, or in the Photos.app for Mac that has yet to be released.

  • Syncing selective Albums through iCloud Photo Library?

    Hello, I would like to know whether there is a way to sync selective Albums through iCloud Photo Library? For example, I want album A and B to show on my iPhone but want to see all albums on my Mac. Is this possible?

    I don't think so... looking to do this myself...

  • I have yet  to update my iPhone 4 to the latest iOS software. How do I save photos to my iCloud photo stream that were taken before I activated my iCloud account and photo stream ?

    I have yet  to update my iPhone 4 to the latest iOS software. How do I save photos to my iCloud photo stream that were taken before I activated my iCloud account and photo stream ?

    You have a couple of options:
    Open the photos one at a time and take a screenshot.  This will add a new low resolution copy of the photo to the camera roll, which will then upload to your photo stream;
    Email the photos a few at a time to yourself, then save the attached photos to your camera roll.  This will add a copy of the photo at full resolution to your camera roll and upload to photo stream;
    Use an app like PhotoSync, which will allow you to wirelessly transfer copies of all your old photos to your computer all at once.  Then delete these photos from your camera roll and use PhotoSync to transfer them back from your computer to your camera roll.  These will be the original resolution and will upload to your photo stream.  (You need an app like this because iTunes will not transfer photos back to your camera roll, where they must be in order to add to your photo stream.)

  • How to copy photo from camera roll to created photo album or to photo library

    how to copy photo from camera roll to created photo album or to photo library

    I have been trying to figure out a work aroundof this issue too.  It defeats the purpose of photo stream in my eyes.
    You can copy a picture from your photo stream to your camera roll and then crop, etc.  But you can't then file that picture into a folder of your choice!?!?!?!  If I have to file the picture on my computer and then resync to do it then photo stream is mostly pointless!!!

    Did you sync those photos from iPhoto or and photo program, you would need to delete them on your computer then connect your iPhone and sync.

  • Sync iPhoto album with iCloud photo stream

    I have a couple of albums - used basically as categories.
    I want to be able to sync the albums with iCloud. I know you could just add the photos to an iCloud photostream, but it takes a couple extra minutes each time when you do that.
    So basically, I want my albums to be copied as iCloud albums, and then just updated automatically when I add a new photo to that album.

    Not possible.  Send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

  • HT201317 How can I transfer photos from my photo album to my photo stream?

    I have a new iPhone, same phone (4s) & I'm trying to transfer everything using iCloud, but some of my pictures are in my photo album & some ate in my photo stream.  Only the photo stream photos are transferring to the new device. How do I move my photo album pictures into my photo stream so I can transfer them to my new phone?  Thank you.

    If your pictures in your camera roll, you need to restore your phone from back up of the old phone. If your pictures in the albums that were transferred from computer, you need to get a hold on that computer and transfer again. Instructions on how to create back up and restore from that back up found here.

  • How to get existing albums to iCloud photo library

    My boss is a home builder and he needs albums of homes across his devices and I'm looking for a solution for getting the albums of photos across the devices.  Any thoughts?  The photos are currently synced from iTunes and when I turn on iCloud Photo Library, it says its going to delete those photos.  Whats the best way to get them in the mix?

    Given that it is a beta product - which i certainly understand - it still doesn't seem to work as it has been described.
    I have updated to iOs 8.1 on my iPhone 5 and iPad 4; I have approximately 1000 photos which are in albums on the devices, and which I have backed up to my computer. Here is what happens when I turn on iCloud photo library:
    I get the warning about removing photos from the device and downloading optimized versions back to the device.
    The upload begins, but only selects 50 or 60 photos, and NOT just limited to those which remain in my camera roll.
    Only that upload lands on icloud.com.  The other 900 or so just seem to drop into space, and can only be found on my computer.
    Only those 50 or 60 are downloaded back to the device.
    I swear with great vigor and volume, and restore my computer back up to the device.
    I have the sense that there is some obvious step I'm missing, because this just does NOT seem to way this service is supposed to work, and I would think even a beta would work as described.  But I've tried this multiple times on both devices, with the same result.  I had great hopes that iPL would work as it seemed to be described and get me out of backing up to my computer, to Google Plus, and to Onedrive.  Apparently not, at least not yet.
    Would be deeply grateful for any advice.

  • Getting photos back from iCloud Photo Stream

    I just thought I would put this here as a way to fix at least one issue with iCloud Photo Stream. This was on my iPhone 4.
    My kid plugged my iPhone into my wife's computer. It basically put all her information and set up on to my phone. I finally got it all set back up, but none of my photos or videos from photo stream were showing up on my phone. Everything else came back over, mail and contacts, but the photos did not show up. Usage showed that 2.5 out of my 5G still being used so it looked like they are there somewhere, they just wouldn't sync.
    This is how I fixed it. At least somewhat. As of this time my videos have not come back yet, but they were rather large and it may take a while. I will try to update later as to whether they come back or not. All the photos are back.
    > I made sure that iCloud backup was ON, on the iPhone.
    > Turned off Photo Stream sync. This warns you that it will "Delete all photos on your phone". Make sure you dont have anything you care about on the phone currently. If you do, I would backup and then come back. Click Delete.
    > Turned Photo Stream back on.
    > Restart iPhone and plug in so it will be charging and make sure you have a wifi connection.
    It may be that you should restart the phone before turning Photo Stream back on, but I actually turned it back on and then restarted. Anyways, this fixed this particular issue I had. Follow at your own risk .
    I still think its ridiculous that you cannot view photo stream photos on iCloud.com. I really can't see paying for this service with the lack of features and bugginess.

    Are you sure about the videos thing? I have 2.6G used on my iCloud account. The only things being synced were Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Bookmarks, Photo Stream and Find my iPhone. I only had 50 photos. There's no way that stuff takes 2.6G worth of storage space.
    Secondly, I know all about backups. I do Apache webserver support for a very large university. But when something happens spur of the moment that you don't have control over, its very possible to lose stuff. I don't need to be quoted the manual. I was just trying to be helpful and share something that worked for me to get my photos back since there seem to be a large number of people with similar issues.
    Frankly I find Apple's software to be extremely frustrating regarding iTunes and iOS. I have been in IT for 15 years and rarely have I found a software set that is so obtuse as iTunes and iOS. The error messages are NOT clear at all, the manual is equally muddy, and, for example in the case of a "Photo Stream" viewer in the iCloud.com, obvious features are COMPLETELY missing.  I cannot imaging actually paying for iCloud with the lack of features it currently has. For as much money and time Apple spends on researching device user friendlyness, I do not understand why their software is so UNuserfriendly.  I am NOT the only one with this opinion.
