photo library

hey my friends, my iCloud Photos library is having serious issues downloading the originals from the iCloud Photo Library. I did two factory resets & signed in & out of iCloud. I have the m1 Mac & high speed internet over 100mb download & upload & I'm only downloading 1 item every hour. so I did...

I've got a new Mac and have to temporary offload my pictures on to my Mac before I put them on a NAS or external hard drive. I don't want it on my Mac for longterm storage. I will also backup my NAS or external hard drive to a cloud service (Backblaze?) so everything is safe. My question is...

I’ve been importing thousands of photos and videos into a new Photos library on my HDD. Due to slowness, I decided to move the library to a SSD. I stopped the transfer of any media, then attempted to eject the HDD. It wouldn’t eject, so I force ejected it through macOS. I plugged it back in and...

Hi! Trying to look through the old posts but I cannot seem to get a clear grasp of if I'm doing something wrong or if there are other ways of solving some missing features in the new shared library. Perhaps a new thread to gather the discussion around shared library and how it's working out for...

I have been making this app for more than two years. Features including: - Support photos on the iCloud photo library. - "On This Day" photos. - Quickly add a photo or multiple selected photos to multiple albums. - Pinned photo albums/media types. - iOS 14 widget for showing a specific photo or...

Hi I probably be unusual about this. I use Photos app on my Mac. I have 2 library. iCloud library and Mac library. End of year I export photos/videos from iCloud and save it on Mac library as backup copy with files names changes I do in Finder. I get new iPhone 12 Mini so that first time I get...

I'm currently using about 130 GB of iCloud storage with photos and videos taken with an iPhone over the past eight years or so. I have a separate photo and video library on a hard drive of about 300 GB taken with non-iPhone cameras (not RAW - keeping those archived on a dedicated drive). I've...

Hey guys, my research has unfortunately not brought any results. I have always used backups when moving from one iOS and one iPhone to the next. Now, as my storage space gets smaller and smaller without any identifiable reason, I figured that a clean install would be the best solution to go...

I have a Photos.app photo library on my Mac which is about 178GB. I had this successfully synced with iCloud until a couple of months back when it stopped syncing properly. To fix this, I tried disabling iCloud Photo Library (on all my devices), but rather than delete all the photos from my...

Does the update to iOS 11 automatically reformat existing Photo Library content to the new space-saving format or do I need to do a Reset and Restore to reduce the library size?

80% of my photos and videos aren't visible on my Photos app? They were all there after the initial upgrade to iOS 11 but I was unable to send some videos through Whatsapp. Then yesterday evening most of them disappeared off the photos app. I checked on my iPad which is also linked to the same...

I did a full reset of my phone after doing an iCloud backup (and have all my photos naturally uploaded to iCloud). Since then, none of my images have shown up in my photos app. Steps i've taken - Did a second reset - Went into iCloud > Photos > Turned off iCloud Photo Library, Turned in Back...

Hi I would like to export my photo library to a Window 10 PC. The size of the library is over 150gb of photos and videos. What is the best way to do this or if any software can do the process automatically. Thanks Hassan

Hi, Recently I am collecting lots of photos from Twitter. I usually save them to either Notes or Photos but neither of them are suitable. In Notes I cannot browse nicely between them, and in Photos they clutter my personal photos. Indeed there are alternative for this like Droplr; but since I...

Wondering if anyone else is seeing this on the GM (16A319)? When deleting faces that have been automatically found by Photos, a blank gray thumbnail is left behind on the "Add People" screen. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Photos in 10.12 GM 2. Allow Photos to finish scanning for faces if it has...

This may sound like an app promotion at a first glance but it's a real question. In my startup we developed an app called Utiful that is a complementary photo library for mobile devices (available for iOS and Android). It allows for easy and fast organization of photos into folders, and this...

Hello! I'm new to this forum. I was getting annoyed with all of the "storage almost full" settings so I turned to a website that said to turn off icloud photo library, and so I did; thinking it would do nothing. But then, when I went back into my Photos app only pictures saved from safari showed...

Hello all, So I have been contemplating switching on my iCloud Photo Library for the first time to use the space in the cloud (50GB / 23 used by backups which is including my camera roll) and my phone (64GB /500MB free) more efficiently. I have around 22GB of photos on my iPhone right now, I...
