Step Two: enable iCloud Photos on the iPhone? The iPhone has lots and lots of photos and movies on it, some of which have already been moved to the Mac’s photo library - some via ‘direct transfer’ (usually Air Drop), some via My Photo Stream. I have the 50GB iCloud+ storage plan which should be ample. Leave it be for a day/week (without sleeping) so the initial upload to iCloud can proceed. I assume the First Step would be to enable iCloud Photos on the Mac. So I’m looking for advice on how best to proceed, and avoid the morass I encountered last time. Wasted days/weeks, and swore off iCloud Photos forever.īut perhaps it’s time to embrace the future. Had to delete everything, turn off iCloud Photos, and restore the library from Time Machine. Things went terribly wrong - operator error, no doubt, combined with bugs in the new functionality required for iCloud syncing. At the time, I probably had 5K images in the library on my MacBook. I tried enabling iCloud Photos when it first came out years ago. Objective is one single library of photos in iCloud that all three devices can view, curate, edit, etc.īackground: I’ve been using Apple’s photos applications on my MacBook Pro for years – first iPhoto, then the present-day Photos program. I’m looking for advice on how best to migrate to iCloud Photos for a user with MacBook + iPad + iPhone.
