Photos can't be viewed at icloud.com.
Photo Stream merely "pushes" your photos to other supported devices.

Photos iCloud Duplicates

I purchased Aperture before it was updated to include any iPhoto program. I therefore imported into Aperture all my photos from iPhoto (unfortunately losing some data in the process such as faces and places and requiring significant work to redo. Later, with Aperture updates, the iPhoto library was automatically attached to Aperture which created an issue of duplicates. However, out of fear that removing it might cause the loss of photos or data, I left it together. When I moved my file to iCloud, there are, no doubt, many duplicates.
Is there a way to find duplicates in Photos iCloud and delete them?

HI ..
On the new MBAir, open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Photo Stream then reselect it then restart your Mac.

If deleting a photo from any device deletes it from the iCloud Photo Library, "library" may not be the right word to describe its function. Surprised nobody else has commented on this. Am I the only one who got this wrong?
Your iCloud Photo Library is in iCloud, and the main purpose is to sync and update it across all your devices. Any change you do, including deleting, will sync across all devices syncing with iCloud Photo Library.
If you want to save space on your mobile devices use the "Optimize Storage" option. Then you will store only optimized thumbnails on your devices and keep the full resolution versions in iCloud.

Fill your library, not your device.
iCloud Photo Library can help you make the most of the space on your Mac. When you choose “Optimize Mac Storage,” all your full-resolution photos and videos are stored in iCloud in their original formats, with storage-saving versions kept on your Mac as space is needed. You can also optimize storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, so you can access more photos and videos than ever before

HT204264 iDevice Sync Query - IOS Photos & iCloud Photo Library over filling ipad iphone storage - what happens next?

Device Sync Query - IOS Photos & iCloud Photo Library fills ipad iphone storage - what happens next?
Quick question, when you select IOS Photo / IiCloud storage (photos are optimised etc) what happens when ipad / iphone storage is full and you now need to add new apps, photos etc? In my case I have 3 * 64gb ipads & 2 * 128 gb iphone but these are all filling up with photos since enabling IOS Photo & iCloud Photo Library (as all of my photos on each device are now copbined on every device as well as the cloud). This has become a problem as when I try to sync my idevice I get the device full warning (and I am assuming I now need to delete apps / videos if I want to sync or make more space for new photos etc). As far as I can tell once you enable IOS Photos and iCloud all photos will upload at original resolution and download at idevice resolution and there is no way to select / control the photos you want to keep on phone (eg if you delete photo on phone it will now delete the original on cloud).
Couple of questions / Suggestions:
- Will IOS Photos on IOS device automatically lower resolution of pics or use thumbnails for old photos that are already in icloud to ensure that there is space on device for new photos, apps videos music etc. Eg will old photos that have already been uploaded in icloud be replaced by new apps videos music etc (not sure that the IOS Sync or iCloud currently does this)
- Is there away to limit control or limit the number of IOS photos that sync to each idevice (eg by starring photos)? I had a look and can not see away to select photos you want to keep or remove (without deleting them on cloud). As per above I am hoping that the IOS sync and icloud systems are smart enough to replace Photos that have already upgraded to cloud with a lower quality / thumbnail to make more more room for new photos and apps (but not clear if this occurs)
- If this is a problem now what happens once the new PHOTOS launches for OS Desktop eg will it add in all our photos from iphoto to the icloud then to the idevice as part of the OS PHOTOS UPGRADE. I have 15-30 gb of photos in IPHOTO that are now backing up to icloud, there needs to be away to only select starred photos or albums or every photo try to download to my iphone (which will kill my storage). There also needs to be away to keep photos on idevice (for those times when you do not have internet and can not download from iCloud to iDevice
Apologies if I have missed something obvious and welcome any thoughts & answers.
If there is no solution then Apple needs to look at this and highlight it as a risk to customers who switch as this is being sold as a way to minimise your device storage but can lead to to customers using up more storage for photos on ipad iphone as a result of switch to IOS PHOTOS &
iCloud Photo Library

Things are not as dire as they might seem at first glance. My 66GB iPhoto Library became a 40GB iCloud Photo Library (~11K photos, ~300 videos) and only uses 2.2GB on my iPad and 2.4GB on my iPhone. Scaling that experience, a 64GB/128GB iOS device should be able to easily handle a 300GB iPhoto library. My iPad and iPhone are 32GB devices and I expect them to be livable through at least 30-40K of photos.
16GB devices have always been problematic for space even before iCloud Photo Library so I'd expect anybody with a 16GB device and more than a few thousand photos is not going to be able to use iCloud Photo Library with it. They will have to use iCloud Photo Streaming to get photos to iCloud Photo Library and iCloud Photo Sharing or iTunes syncing to get a subset of photos back to the device. Not a great solution but workable. However, it wrecks one of the best features for me which is using my iPad to edit the photos I take on my iPhone.
The part that worries me is the automatic space management routine. The problem it creates is that I might want to add a movie, but there won't be enough space, and my only option will be to reset iCloud Photo Library on the device to get back to all thumbnails on it to see if that gets me the space I need. I've already had to do it a couple of times with iTunes Match and it's not fun. It all depends on how aggressive Photo Library will be in trimming off full-size photos/videos and Apple appears to be leaving it a black box at this point. It would at least be nice to know an estimate of the minimum size so I know how much space I can recapture.

Photo iCloud: selective backup & referenced library

Hi All,
Is there any information if an update of Photo iCloud will have these missing features
1. selective backup (just cloud copy my favorited/tagged 100GB of 500GB library)
2. referenced library support (don't force me to move 500GB referenced photos into one library blob)
Thx!

Macs cannot back up to icloud. Only iOS devices. You need to use Time Machine or something similar and preferably to an external hard drive. iCloud cannot be used like Dropbox to store miscellaneous files. Look into Dropbox for that. (The former MobileMe had a service called iDisk that acted as a remote attached drive, icloud does not offer such a service.)

Photo iCloud optimisation not working.

Hi, here's the scenario. I had 270 ish photos viewable on my ipad while using the optimise with iCloud storage feature and the storage on my iPad was being optimised. I had roughly about 9GB spare . A few days ago I deleted all my iCloud photos and videos and reuploaded them again (wanted to manually remove duplicate photos). Now when I view my iPad on iTunes the spare storage space is about 3GB. In the settings I had optimised between iCloud and iPad checked and I've disabled and enabled this feature a few times incase that was the problem, unfortunately though the storage no longer seems to be optimised and now there's much less space on my iPad. If anyone has any ideas to fix the optimisation that would be great as it's always nice to have space to stockpile movies for a long journey, thanks.

Toggling the setting won't help, optimisation takes place when the items are first added or when you start to run out of space on your device. Are you also aware that if you open a photo once it's been optimised it will download the full resolution version which will stay that way until you start to run out of space.

How can I change "ownership" of my Photos iCloud to a new computer?

I started using Photos with iCloud a couple days ago, and have my library stored successfully in iCloud. However, now I'm migrating to a new MacBook (via Time Machine), and the sharing is screwed up. Specifically, when I go into Photos Sharing, it does not any of my shared items, and if I toggle around the iCloud enablement settings, I get a warning that there isn't enough space on my drive to store the originals: essentially, Photos is recognizing this is a different computer and thinks it needs to pull *down* the iCloud copies. But really, I want this new computer to become the owner of the iCloud copies. Does that make sense?
I'm hoping I don't need to wipe out my iCloud stored photos and start over from the new Mac.

i figured out how to do it from the account section.... not sure how to delete my post. thanks

How to import external HDD iPhoto library to internal storage Photos+iCloud

I have a larger iPhoto library of +250GB on a external USB drive, I want all of that in iCloud with the new Photos app, however I would also like to have them on my internal drive on the 'optimized storage' options so I have access to them (and if need be the full version can download from iCloud to my internal drive). How do I do this?

So here's how I think this could work:
1. Upload the library on your USB drive to iCloud, note that the drive needs to be formatted HFS+ in order to work based on this article: https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/?lang=en#/pht211de786
2. Create a new library on your internal drive
3. Make that library your System Photo Library in Photos Preferences
4. Turn on iCloud Photo Library and set the preference to 'Optimize Mac Storage'
Doing this will no longer sync the library on the USB drive with iCloud.

HT6378 Missing Photos iCloud Photo Library

I'm uploading my photos to iCloud Photos using the beta web client. They appear to upload fine and can see them all appear in my iCloud Photo Library on my IOS 8.1.1 devices, however the most recently added photos are not showing in the web client. There are no differences in photo format - in fact
Also, the total number of photos as shown in IOS8 and the web client is different. I know the web client is in beta but this seems like a strange issue. Any thoughts?
Regards,
David

I think I have found the solution on another thread. Am consolidating the referenced files which will hopefully solve the problem. A bit puzzling that I didn't get the warning some people mention, that the referenced files would not be uploaded to iCloud.

Photos Dropbox Photos iCloud

I have over 1000 photos in Drobox taken with a camera, scanned, and otherwise not originating in an iOS or OS X device. Dumb question: how to I get the photos from Dropbox into the Apple Photos Cloud so that they might be manipulated? Thanks! Steve

Launch Photos. App and then import them to the Photos Library. (File -> Import to Library).
Then enable iCloud Library to get them online.
Then delete them from Dropbox as they're duplicates wasting disk space.

When i'm trying to download apps from app store, it show a icloud icon, which i do not sync my photo icloud. what should i do now?

i can't download apps , coz it appear an icloud icon instead of "free"

The cloud icon means you've already downloaded those Apps in the past and they are in your purchased history.
For payed apps this would allow you to redownload them without having to pay again.
Just tap on the cloud icon to start the download.

Lost photos: icloud msg - deleted photos - gone from iphoto too- help, lost photos: icloud msg - deleted photos - gone from iphoto too- help

HELP! It appears as though I have lost most of my photos from 2012/13. Could be any number of issues. Most likely: i-cloud sent me a msg saying I was running out of space and suggested I make room by deleting stuff. I did. I deleted photos as I thought I had them all on i-photo. Now they're just gone. I've checked my different libraries. I tried to open a library I backed up to an external hard drive but it wouldn't open, saying I needed to update using updater. I installed up-dater. Nothing happened. Still get the same message. And now I can't open iphoto at all. Was updated when I installed Maverick, was it not? Anyway, app store says its updated. So perhaps the issue is Maverick?

My iCloud Photo Stream is not syncing correctly to my Windows 8.1 laptop or my Windows 7 PC.

I have been going through the forums for the last few weeks and nothing has helped. Both computers are x64 bit.
Problems I am experiencing
A. Windows 7 PC has not synced photo stream since September 25
B. Windows 8.1 laptop has not synced since a little before that.
C. I can't upload any photos (.jpegs) to the photo stream. An error pops up saying that they cann't be uploaded as they are not in a format supported by iCloud, even though they are jpegs.
D. Photos are syncing ti my ipad 3 perfectly fine, so clearly there is a problem with my computers but I am totally stumped.
I have un-installed, deleted all icloud photo stream folders, restarted and then re-installed the iCloud control panel on both computers, and it has created new folders and re-synced maybe 30 photos before it stopped again.
I have uninstalled every single Apple program on my Windows 8.1 laptop and reinstalled iTunes, iCloud and Quicktime and that didn't help.
I have toggled the Photo Stream on/off button in setting on my iphone, and that seemed to kick start the sync on my Windows 7 PC this morning, so far I've got 70 photos on my Windows 7 PC and that's where it has stopped but its a really random selection, and doesn't include the photos I took yesterday or today.
Two of my colleagues at work where my Windows 7 PC is located - their photo streams are working fine, both using ios7 and icloud control panel, however their computers are x32 bit.
I have also simply logged out and signed in again multiple times, however that doesn't do anything.
I have unticked the "read-Only" permissions on my photo icloud stream folder, but that didn't help either.
I have followed the troubleshooting from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989 - however that also did not help.
I have tried changing the folder path for iCloud photo stream, however that did not help either.
I tried the steps from someone who said they spoke to an Apple rep (steps copied from forum and I put them in italic) on this forum: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5381738
Anyway, the Apple rep had me sign out of iCloud CC on my PC.
Then on each iOS devices Settings/iCloud/Delete Account.
Confirmed all the warnings.
Then re-entered my iCloud id and password on the iOS device.
Things restarted and the iOS Photo Streams got loaded with the number of photos that
iCloud has.
Signed in on iCloud on the PC. It synced the same way.
Tried taking pictures on the iPhone and iPad. They synced everywhere.
So I'm back in business.
I just deleted everything on my iOS devices when I exited iCloud.
My interest is the PC syncing when I take a photo on my iPhone.
ME: Okay so these steps again refreshed the photostream on my iPhone 5. I can see that the photos I took yesterday and today have been uploaded to the photo stream as I can see them there on my device. I have also now signed back into iCloud on my Windows 7 PC and it is slowly syncing again, but just recognising the same photos it downloaded previously as per Step 3 which I did just earlier this morning.
I have also just tried uploading photos via the upload folder from my windows 7 PC, and they uploaded perfectly.
This is really, really frustrating. I've tried everything I can find on these forums but nothing has helped fix the issue 100%.
Can anyone offer something else I can try to reslove this issue?

Hi all. I can’t tell you how to solve your iCloud 3.x issues. Heck, I don’t think they’re even solvable.
But if you had a previous version of iCloud that was working correctly then I can definitely tell you how to solve the “iCloud Photo Stream is not syncing correctly to my Windows 7 PC” problem. …without even a re-boot.
Log out of iCloud 3.0 and uninstall it.
Open My Computer and then open your C:\ drive. Go to Tools/Folder Options and click on the View tab. Select the “Show hidden…” radio button and click on OK.
Open the Users folder.
Open your user folder
Open ProgramData (previously hidden folder)
Open the Apple folder – not the Apple Computer folder.
Open the Installer Cache folder
In Details view sort on Name
Open the folder for the newest entry for iCloud Control Panel 2.x – probably 2.1.2.8 dated 4/25/2013
Right click on iCloud64.msi and select Install.
When finished, the synching between iCloud and your PC will be back to working perfectly as before the 3.0 fiasco. The pictures will be synched to the same Photostream folder as before the “upgrade”. Now all you need to do is wait until Apple/Microsoft get this thing fixed and working before you try the 3.x upgrade again.
I think the iCloud 3.0 software was written by the same folks who wrote healthcare.gov with the main difference being that healthcare.gov might eventually be made to work.
For those of you who hate to go backwards, think of it as attacking to the rear. Which would you rather have, the frustration of no synching or everything working on an older version?
Good luck…

My wife and I share an iCloud account for photo library and iCloud drive mainly for our family photo management, but we use different accounts for iMessage/facetime/calendar/etc. With Yosemite, I can't use continuity/handoff without dumping the photo

my wife and I share an iCloud account for photo library and iCloud drive mainly for our family photo management, but we use different accounts for iMessage/facetime/calendar/etc. With Yosemite, I can't use continuity/handoff without dumping the primary photo iCloud account and thus our shared photo system. We are running yosemite OS X 10.10 and iOS 8.0.2... Is there any way to do this?
