Uploading videos to iCloud photo library don't appear with the correct date
When I upload older photos to iCloud photo library beta they appear in the correct date in my "Moments", but when I upload a video it appears under today's date rather than the date the video was actually shot.. wonder if anyone has encountered the same problem?

Why some photos in my Photos library did not upload to my iCloud photo library. Isn't supposed to be automatic?
Is there something special about the file formats? iCloud Photo Library supports:
JPEG, RAW, PNG, GIF, TIFF, and MP4.
And no JPEG must be larger than 16GB.
The photos will not upload, if the original image file is missing. Can you edit or export the photos, that did not upload? -
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:

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 do I create albums and upload pictures from my PC to my iCloud Photo Library?
I enabled iCloud Photo Library Beta and got a message telling me all my previously-synced photos from iTunes would be deleted from my iPhone. That's fine, but how do I create albums and upload pictures & videos from my PC to my iCloud Photo Library?
I am dealing the same issue.. I can upload it for example through icloud.com but all this photos are also in "All photos" album which I don't want to...

I had iCloud photo libraey turned on on both my iPad and iPhone. As said by the feature, photos and videos were being transferred automatically from each device to each other. I have a 64GB iPad Air 2 and my iPhone 5 only has 16GB of storage so I am lacking much more space on my iPhone than my iPad. I was wondering if there was a way to transfer photos only from my iPhone to my iPad but not from my iPad to my iPhone. Would turning off iCloud Photo library on my iPad do the trick? Thanks hope someone can help me out.
iCloud Photo Library keeps all of your photos in the Cloud which you then can selectively download. So, unless you download the iPad photos, they are not going to be taking up any room on your iPhone:

How can I 're-upload' photos to iCloud Photo Library Beta?
iCloud Photo Library a beta is set up to optimise iPad storage, but when trying to clean up my photo library, and opening photos to assess quality (which isn't feasible with the reduced resolution versions stored on my iPad) the full versions have downloaded and wiped out the storage capacity on my ipad! I need to revert to to the 'minimised' version, but can't see how to do this. Any help appreciated!
Are you really in a hurry to move your photos?
iCloud Photo Library is still a beta version. (See: iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ) The Mac part has not yet been released, but all be available early next year. We do not know yet, what the Mac part of iCloud Photo Library will be like. The Photos.app for Mac will be able to upload to iCloud Photo Library. If you simply wait till early next year, it will be the easiest transit. Then you will be able to migrate iPhoto Libraries and Aperture Libraries to Photos and store the photos in iCloud.
Right now, only iPad, iPhones, iPod Touches can upload to iCloud Photo Library Beta. And if you enable iCloud Photo Library Beta on your mobile devices, the usual ways to upload photos from your Mac will be disabled. It will no longer be possible to sync photos with iTunes, and you cannot upload using My Photo Stream. You would have to mail the photos to your mobile devices to upload them to iCloud Photo Library Beta or use Dropbox or similar. -
IPhone not uploading photos to iCloud Photo Library. Why?
I have 2 iPhones 6Plus's both fully updated. I have enabled them both to use iCloud Photo Library. One has synced up nicely, the other has not pulled any photos down from the cloud and says that it has 2,373 items to upload. Any ideas what could be preventing it? I have tried toggling iCloud Photo Library off and on with no success. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
You may not like this solution, but it's the last thing that the apple care support could offer.
Let's say you have a bunch of photos stuck on syncing...
Connect iPhone to a computer via the cable, set iPhone to Airplane mode
Use Photos.app and select your iPhone in the sidebar (enable the sidebar first)
Select the photos you want to import
Select "Import"
Now all your photos are downloaded from the iPhone and then uploaded to iCloud Photo library.
Delete the Photos on your iPhone manually, also from the "trash"
Disable airplane mode on the iPhone
Disable iCloud photo library in the settings of iCloud.
Log out of your iCloud account on the iPhone
Wait till all the photos on the iPhone are deleted as well... delete them manually, also from trash (make sure you have them all in the Photos app on your mac!)
Restart your Phone
Log into your iCloud again and enable iCloud photo library.
All the photos should sync.
I hope this helps, it helped me at least! -
Photos for OS X stuck "uploading X items" to iCloud Photo Library
21.5 iMac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 (all patches applied)
200GB iCloud Storage with 171GB Free
iPhone 5s running iOS 8.3
When I enabled iCloud Photo Library on my Mac within the New Photos application it uploaded 12,182 out of the 15,125 photos successfully. All 12,182 photos are viewable in iCloud.com and on my iPhone. Photos is stuck "uploading 82 items". I have signed out and back into iCloud on my Mac, rebooted my Mac, rebooted my time capsule, disabled and then re-enable iCloud Photo Library, paused for a day then resumed and left my Mac running for days straight.
iCloud Photo Library works perfectly on my iPhone. When I take a photo it's uploaded to iCloud.com, when it's deleted it's then removed from iCloud.com. Since the Photos application is stuck "uploading" it's not receiving any new photos shot with my iPhone.
Any constructive comments, help or fixes are very welcome.
Thank youSame here. plenty of storage on iCloud, yet I'm stuck with 500 photos uploaded out of 400 total.
The OS X Photos app is not doing anything and has stopped uploading 2 days ago.
Reboot doesn't help.
Anyone else seeing this issue??? -
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. -
Hi - I turned on the iCloud photo library beta on my phone weeks ago. Worked fine with no issues. Then the Yosemite OS X beta 10.10.3 was released with the new Photos app. Once i loaded that new app, it converted my Aperture library and began to upload around 75,000 photos.
My iPhone almost immediately became sluggish (I assumed because it was downloading the pictures) and then eventually started crashing every time I go into the app (after a few seconds). I assumed it was because it showed 75,000 images in my Cameral Roll/Moments so I turned of the iCloud photo library beta. It prompted to be certain I was ok with deleting the images, which I said OK to. But it still shows 75,000 images in the camera roll and anything I tried to do with any photo has become completely unusable (generally just crashing each time).
Did I miss a step in the process?
Is this just me?
I'm trying to backup my iPhone but it keeps erroring out with the message "iTunes could not back up the iPhone "name" because the iPhone disconnected". Otherwise I would just recreate . Please helpIt can free up some storage but it doesn't work like Dropbox. See the following quotes from iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
I personally don't use iCloud Photo Library as it is still beta. Additionally, I have a Mac computer and there is not yet a Mac Photos app that is compatible.

While we're waiting for the new iCloud Photo Library to make it to OSX, I discovered an interesting way to get photos loaded on your Mac into your iCloud Photo Library. The bad news is it won't handle videos yet.
Assuming you have all your photos in iPhoto, you must first set up a copy on your hard drive. Select the photos you want to put in iCloud Photo Library in iPhoto, then choose Export from the File menu. In Kind, select Original to preserve the quality of your photos, then click Export and select the folder where you want to dump the photos.
Next, sign in to iCloud, click Photos (Beta), then click Upload. Select all the photos you just exported and click Open. After the upload completes, you should begin to see these photos on your other devices - iPad and iPhone - if you have set them to use the iCloud Photo Library. After you finish the upload, you can then delete the exported photos to save space on your hard drive.Your Mac will only show you the images in the Photo Streams. To see your iCloud Photo Library (Beta) use the Photos.app on the iCloud webpage.
https://www.icloud.com
or,if you want to upload to iCloud Photo Library (Beta), use
https://beta.icloud.com
When the Photos.app for Mac will have been released early next year, you will be able to browse iCloud Photo Library (Beta) from the Photos.app on your Mac.

Moving Photos from iCloud Photo Library to Local Storage
Scenario - I've a fully migrated library of photos/videos using iCloud Photo Library on iPhone and Mac. It's near the limit of the iCloud storage plan I purchased and want to retain. I'd like to move older and less frequently used content from iCloud Photo Library to more permanent archival storage.
[This is for two reasons. First, I prefer to use the Full Resolution setting on mobile devices, and that will be impossible as the entire library grows beyond the storage capacity of even the largest mobile devices. Second, I don't feel the need to pay for super-sized iCloud storage for content rarely needed and only needed on a Mac.]
The only option I've identified in Photos to do this is to Export (and delete from iCloud), which exports the original photos, but does not preserve useful Photos metadata and organization, such as Albums.
What one would might like to see is a way to designate selection portions of the Library for local storage only (including backup within the Photos app library package), so those photos can be manipulated within Photos alongside iCloud content, but don't consume iCloud or mobile device space. Or, in the alternative, one would like to see a way to Export content to merge into a separate Photos library package, preserving the metadata/organization. In that way, one could maintain one Photos library as current iCloud synced content, and one or more local-only Photos library packages with archival content (with, importantly, the Export function to move content between the two preserving metadata).
Does anyone know if there's a way to do this? If not, Apple, would you consider coming up with a way to address this need?{quote:title=Nissin101 wrote @ 3:36pm EMT:}{quote}
Well I was able to move photos from the camera roll to the photo library by sending *the pictures via email to my dad's blackberry, then saving them to my computer from his phone, then putting them back on into the photo library*.
This is what I said originally.
{quote:title=Nissin101 wrote @ 4:08pm EMT:}{quote}
Alright I guess that answers my question then. However, just as I said I was able to transfer photos from my camera roll to my photo library, so at least that is possible.
I never said that I did it directly, neither did I mean to imply that I was looking for a direct solution. This I guess is where our misunderstanding comes from. I just did not feel like repeating the whole process I went through. Regardless, I would rather this thread not derail into who said what and whose misunderstanding who. I now know that it is not possible to get pictures from the photo library to the camera roll in any way, so my question is answered for now at least. -
HT204570 iCloud Photo Library Update Failing
I have a large library of photos that I'm adding to iCloud --17K+ from my MacBook Pro (running Yosemite). The upload is failing, though, and I'm getting pretty frustrated. The upload appears to be working for a few minutes and then randomly, and for no apparent reason, iCloud Photo Library disables itself (unchecked) and the updating is paused. I have the ability click the Resume button but it doesn't resume the upload-- it still indicates that "iCloud Photo Library updating is paused". Restarting the Photos app is the only way to continue the upload, but eventually, it fails. See the screenshot attached -- I've clicked "Resume" but apparently the upload is still on paused.
Any advice or guidance would be very greatly appreciated!I've had a similar problem. For me the best solution is to save the photos to my Mac, and then delete them from my phone. This does not however solve the problem with not wanting them to be gone on other devices. Unfortunately, I do not know of a way to exclude a device from having the photo deleted off of it (Wink*Wink* Apple- iOS 9/OS X 10.11? Cough*Cough*). Anyway as for saving space, for me, if I turn off iCloud photo library and then turn it back on again, it will make a lot of space open up. Note: still not total space. I assume that you have a lot of music/photos/apps or something because I have this problem on my 16 GB iPhone, but I don't see how a 64 Gb iPhone can accidentally run out of room. In conclusion, try turning off iCloud Photo Library on and off again. This is my best solution, and it works for me pretty well. Anyway, I hope this helped.

Photos on my Mac are not visible on my iPhone despite having enabled iCloud photo library.
I have iCloud Photo Library enabled on both my mac and my iphone. I have ~17k photos on my mac - many of which were not taken on my iphone. All 17k photos have been successfully uploaded to my iCloud Photo library (and are visible on icloud.com). However, when I open the Photos app on my iphone, instead of being able to access all 17k photos, I can only see the 80 or so that I recently took on my iPhone. The 80 photos on my phone are being uploaded to the iCloud photo library and are visible from my Mac - just not the other way around.
I am running iOS 8.3 and the latest Mac OS (which has the new photos app).
Any help is appreciated!Don't know if it will help or not, but you might try going to Control Panel>Programs & Features>Uninstall, then right-click on "iCloud" and choose Repair, restart your PC and try photo stream again.
Also confirm that the photos are appearing in the my photo stream album on your phone (which will confirm that they are being added to photo stream). -
ICloud photo library (beta) problem
Hello, I updated my iphone 6 to iOS 8.1 and was trying to activate the iCloud photo library (beta) but I have a problem.
When I turn on the option a popup says that the sync will start when the device restore from iCloud will be finished.
Obviously I'm not doing any restore from iCloud at this time. I restored from an iCloud backup a month ago when I purchased the new phone and everything seems to be perfectly fine: I have all my apps, photos, contacts, etc.
One thing I noticed is in my photos app there's a spinning wheel saying the photos are syncing (see screenshot) but that's not true: all the photos are there and there're no unfinished downloads.
I also tried to erase the phone and restore a backup from itunes but it didn't solve the problem.
Does anyone have the same problem? Is there a solution?I'm running 10.10.1. I'll try updating that in addition to the phone OS.
Don't forget to make a full backup of your Mac, before you upgrade, better safe than sorry.
With iCloud Photo Library Beta enabled, you could download your photos directly from iCloud, while your Photo Stream will not work:
If you enable iCloud Photo Library (Beta) on your iPhone, the iCloud webpage will change for you:
This page https://www.icloud.com will show an additional app:
And if you click the Photos.app on that page, it will take you to a page showing your photos, https://www.icloud.com/#photos
That link is dead for you, as long as you are not using iCloud Photo Library. It will show you the Moments and Albums, just like the Photos.app on the iPad or iPhone.
