I suspect they might be displayed when we imported the photos from her iPhone (via a lightning bolt to USB cable), rather than when the photos were taken. I suspect this, because we'd only import photos once or twice a year, and in iCloud Photos, in 'Photos' (not Moments) the photos seem to be grouped together in big monthly groups, i.e. all photos in 2021 appear under December 2021.
It is intentional. In Photos at wwww.icloud.com the "Moments" are sorted by the date photo has been taken, while the "Photos" tab is sorted by the date the photos have been added to the library. This makes it easy to find recently added photos in one place, even if they are having different capture dates.
The photos in the Photos app on the MacBook display in the correct date order. When my wife turns on iCloud Photos on her iPhone, will the photos from iCloud sync down on to the phone in the correct order?
Thank you. We've just synched the iCloud Photos on to the iPhone and they are displayed in the correct date order. So that's good. it is unlikely that we will look at the photos in a browser on icloud.com
My iCloud Photos Library is syncing with several devices - iPhone, iPad, several Macs.. When I view the "Photos" at www.icloud.com, they are in the same order as the Recents album on my Mac, mostly great blocks of photos imported at the same time, but with very different capture dates.
If you want to download a full-size copy of your photos and videos from the Photos app to your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with iOS 10.3 or later or iPadOS, or your Mac with OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 or later, follow these steps.
So after moving everything to the external HDD and selecting the option to keep originals on my Mac (i.e. HDD), I expected the synced photos to be available on iCloud drive too. I've just tried to access them from affinity photo, presuming they'd show up on iCloud drive, in the same way as they would on say, Dropbox/OneDrive etc. but they simply aren't there. I know they've synced, as they show on my iPhone and iPad, but it seems a bit strange (to me) that I can't access my originals on iCloud drive.
Oh and when I synced, it certainly seemed like the full size files were uploaded, so I'm presuming they're on Apple's servers somewhere. If the only way to access them is through photos or a browser, I may have to rethink paying for a 200gb iCloud Drive where some of the files I upload are effectively hidden. I may be better to use Dropbox or even Flickr and their auto upload facility, which would allow me to access the original files from anywhere, and just switch back to photo stream for mobile photos.
iCloud Photos uses your iCloud storage to keep all of your photos and videos up to date across your devices. You can make more space in iCloud when you delete photos and videos that you no longer need from the Photos app on any of your devices.
You can recover photos and videos that you delete from your Recently Deleted album for 30 days. If you want to remove content from Recently Deleted album faster, tap Select, then select the items you want to remove. Tap Delete > Delete. If you exceed your iCloud storage limit, your device immediately removes any photos and videos you delete and they won't be available for recovery in your Recently Deleted album.
iCloud is a cloud-based service that allows you to share files across your devices. Sometimes, you need to upload photos to iCloud to save your iPhone photos to the cloud storage. While at other times, you may need to get photos from iCloud photos to your iPhone to get the pictures back to your device.
If you are using the same Apple ID and password as the one used in the iCloud on your iPhone, it's quite easy to download photos from iCloud to your device. If not, it's more difficult but still possible to get iCloud photos to iPhone. Alternatively, you can utilize EaseUS MobiMover to transfer photos to your iPhone directly without iCloud.
The easiest way to download photos from iCloud to iPhone is to enable iCloud Photos on your iOS device and then select to download full-size copies of photos from iCloud to iPhone. This way, however, will transfer all photos and videos from iCloud to your iPhone at once, and you have no chance to download pictures to your device selectively. Thus, if you prefer to move specific photos from iCloud to iPhone, go to the next part.
Make sure you are using the same Apple ID and password on your iPhone and iCloud, and there is enough space on your device to save the iCloud photos. Afterward, follow the steps below to download photos from iCloud to your iPhone. (You can follow the same method to download contacts from iCloud to your iPhone.)
iCloud is commonly used to transfer photos from iPhone to iPhone, PC to iPhone, Mac to iPhone, iPad to iPhone, or vice versa. However, iCloud only provides 5GB of space for free and needs a Wi-Fi connection to work. If these requirements are not met, you may encounter the issue "iCloud Photos not syncing."
Thus, whether you want to transfer photos from iPhone to iPhone or put music to iPhone from the computer, it will help. When iCloud is not working on your device, or you want to send files without using iCloud, apply this tool instead.
It's quite easy to get photos from iCloud to iPhone. But to use iCloud successfully, you need to make sure there is enough free space on your device and there is a stable and reliable Wi-Fi connection. If iCloud isn't working, try an iPhone data transfer tool like EaseUS MobiMover to transfer photos from a computer or iPhone/iPad to your iPhone directly using a USB cable.
If you have activated your new iPhone, you can use the three methods introduced in this guide to transfer photos from iCloud to your iPhone. While if you haven't done that yet, an additional option is to restore the whole iCloud backup to your new iPhone. But before that, you will need to ensure that you've recently created an iCloud backup and that the backup includes the photos you want.
It is easy to access iCloud photos on your iPhone. You can open Safari on your iPhone and go to icloud.com. Sign in with your iCloud account, and then choose Photos. Then, you can see all photos stored on iCloud.
After turning on iCloud Photos, turn on "Optimize Storage" in the Settings. Low resolution photos will AUTOMATICALLY be kept on your phone and the high-res files will AUTOMATICALLY be kept in the cloud. This will prevent your phone from running out of storage. Whenever you do something with the Apple Photos app and a higher-res file is needed, the high-res version will be downloaded AUTOMATICALLY. The only time you should delete a photo is if you never want to see it again. And 2TB of storage for all of those high-res files is $9.99 per month. 2TB is a lot of storage for iPhone photos.
Beyond simply storage, Apple, Google, and Adobe all have AI (Artificial Intelligence) features like facial and object recognition. Search for the word "dog" on any of those services and all of the photos you have taken with a dog will appear. And every month or so I get a slideshow with music from Apple made with photos from a special day or event. I don't tell it what to make, it just knows. For instance, it knows photos taken on December 25th are from Christmas and makes it for me, excluding photos with eyes closed, etc. Pretty amazing stuff.
Since we have some genius on back up. Ive recently ran into the issue of photos and files not showing in many of my message threads. Even in "shared with me" from the photos app, fail to show all of the little bit photos that still do show up in messages..... It wont let me download when tapping on them, photos sent and received in messages.... This occurs randomly in all threads except two.
So some thread will allow to me download from messages some of the time, but two threada wont even start the process. These two particular threads I the contacts have blocked me and deleted the thread(I had someone block me but not delete tge thread and it didnt change ability to download). Neither will any gifs load, only some emojis that I have sent show. Why would photos I sent at the very least be missing off my phone? As "privacy" oriented as apple is supposed to be, this really concerns me...... Now the one thing that have noticed is that furthest image(when viewing from settings -iphone storage-Messages-photos goes back to nov of 21, but its only a from one or two contacts. And not all photos from then to now from those contacts... Only thing which happened then was I add a series one apple watch to my account.
Last thing is I pulled up an iTunes backup from Jan on windows, using a backup extract app to see the data and it implies there was a full back up of all the photos on the device, but many show a blank photo icon with a file name.
You can accomplish #2 by moving your photos to an off-device file storage location and then deleting them from your device (and iCloud photos). You can export to iCloud Drive, DropBox, Google Drive, One Drive - take your pick! Your article bizarrely implies that only iCloud would require an additional copy to a local physical drive, but that's a choice that would be identical among any of the cloud file storage services.
The main difference between a photos or file cloud service, and a backup service, is that a backup service will keep a copy of deleted items around (forever, OR when a timer runs out, OR when the space is needed to fit within your plan's limits). DropBox is not a backup service either. Delete it from your sync'd devices and it's deleted everywhere, just like iCloud Photos (and every cloud file/photo service).
I've used OneDrive for years but at the moment it isn't playing nicely with MacOS. It's complicated my strategy for sure. Of course there was nearly a year where I accidentally messed up my export setting from Lightroom and ended up only saving low-res copies of ALL my photos for that year. So depressing but nothing to be done.
