How Do I Download My Old Photos From Icloud

iCloud Photos works seamlessly with the Photos app to keep your photos and videos securely stored in iCloud and up to date on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and on iCloud.com. If you take a photo on your iPhone, for example, you can see that same photo on your other devices and on iCloud.com, too.

When you set up iCloud, you automatically get 5GB of storage. You can use that space for your iCloud backups, to keep your photos and videos stored in iCloud Photos, to keep your documents up to date in iCloud Drive, and more. You can always check how much iCloud storage you're using in Settings on your device or on iCloud.com. If you're running low, you can manage your storage to make more space or upgrade to iCloud+ any time.

If you're getting low on storage in iOS 17 or iPadOS 17 or later, you can go to Recommended for You in your iCloud settings and check if there are photos, large files, or backups that you might not need anymore and can delete.

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.

Before you delete anything, make sure that you back up the photos and videos that you still want. When you use iCloud Photos and delete a photo or video on one device, it's also deleted on all other devices where you're signed in with the same Apple ID.

If you are part of an iCloud Shared Photo Library, photos added to the Shared Library only count towards the storage of the person who created the Shared Library. To delete items that count towards your iCloud storage, make sure that you're viewing your Personal Library.

To reduce the size of your Photos backup, save your photos and videos to your computer, then manually back up your device. If you want to keep your photos and videos on your device, you can turn off Photos in Backup or upgrade to iCloud+ for more storage. If there are any photos that you don't want to keep, you can delete them:

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.

You can manage and delete folders or files you store in iCloud Drive from your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or PC. If you're a participant in someone else's shared folder, it doesn't count towards your iCloud storage.

On a PC with iCloud for Windows, you can manage your iCloud Drive files using Windows Explorer. You can pin a file or folder to Windows Explorer, or use these steps to add an iCloud Drive folder to Windows Explorer and delete it from iCloud Drive:

You can free up iCloud space when you delete email messages from your iCloud email account. You can also move email messages from your iPhone or iPad to your Mac or PC, where they no longer count against your iCloud storage.

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 trouble is, within each big group (that share the same date added to the library) the photos are not displayed in (date taken) order. So if we added a years worth of photos to the library at the end of a year, the photos within that group are mixed up.

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.

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.

Now, what if something crazy happens and Apple loses all of your photos? Very doubtful, but possible. Then you can protect yourself by signing-up for another service like Google Photos. Any photo you take can be set to also AUTOMATICALLY upload to their service. So, you can have your photos flowing automatically to 2 places, Apple and Google.

Another option for photo enthusiasts is Adobe. You can put Lightroom on your phone and set it up so all of the photos would flow into Adobe's cloud. Then if you have Lightroom Classic on your computer at home, you can set the high-res files to download there onto a drive of your choice. So, with Adobe, you can get BOTH cloud and local storage automatically by using Lightroom. I have the Photography Plan and 1TB of storage with Adobe for $20 per month. That gives you Lightroom, Lightroom Classic, Lightroom mobile (iPhone and iPad), Photoshop, Premier Rush (for video), Portfolio and more. In fact, I am a commercial photographer and use Portfolio for my primary website:

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.

Apple's iCloud Photos and the Photos app on Mac are a complete train wreck. I spent some time recently revisiting Photos on Mac and iPhone hoping to make sense of it all and it always comes up short. The biggest heart ache recently was discovering that Photos on Mac was corrupting all Apple Raw files upon import. Being a professional photographer I would suggest something like Adobe Lightroom as a permanent database solution to manage photos. Much safer than trusting anybody's cloud. I will use iPhoto for keeping a handful of selects on my phone for memories and use Photos on Mac to facilitate management of that.

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.

Jefferson, this article isn't just bad, it's dangerous. You're advising people to disable backing up their entire device as a ham fisted way to temporarily try and suppress photo deletions from syncronizing to the cloud, in a bizarre attempt to force a photo synchronization service to be a photo backup service. People SHOULD NOT DISABLE ICLOUD BACKUPS. You can disable just iCloud Photos syncing all by itself, using the on/off button in your 2nd screenshot.

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. ff782bc1db
