To share photos, create a Shared Album, enter
the recipients’ email addresses, then add pics.


iCloud Photos
in iOS
To activate iCloud Photos in iOS, open
Settings, tap your name at the top,
tap iCloud, tap Photos, and turn on
iCloud Photos (or iCloud Photo Library
in older versions). Choose Optimize
iPhone Storage to save space.

Download originals
On your Mac, choose
Download Originals to this Mac to
save full copies of your photos and
videos. If your startup drive is too full,
you will need to move your System
Photos Library to an external drive:
see bit.ly/mfplsvspc.

iCloud Photos
in macOS
Turn on iCloud Photos in System
Preferences > iCloud > Photos or
Photos > Preferences > iCloud. My
Photo Stream only syncs the last
1,000 items, but this figure doesn’t
count towards your total iCloud limit.

Export originals
Too many photos for iCloud?
Make a new album in macOS Photos
and add items you don’t want to sync.
In Finder, make a folder on a suitable
drive. Select the photos in your album
and do File > Export > Export
Unmodified Original.

iCloud Photos
in Windows
You can also access your iCloud
Photos from a Windows PC with
iCloud for Windows installed, but it
does work differently: new pics sync
automatically to your PC, but uploads
are manual. See bit.ly/mficpwpc.

Re–import
originals
Export to your folder. In Photos,
delete these pics. Uncheck Photos >
Preferences > General > Copy items
to the Photos library, then use File >
Import to import the copies. They stay
in your folder and don’t sync to iCloud.

HOW TO Manage your iCloud Photos


APPLE TV





On Apple TV, the Settings > Accounts
Sign in page has an option to turn on
iCloud Photos. You can then view your
whole collection in the Photos app.
Try the Memories screen for a quick
selection of pics you might enjoy.
Remember, anyone else with access to
your living room can see your whole
library! Alternatively, opt only to view
Shared Albums.
