Hey thank so much, recently I download all the photos & videos of my wife’s iCloud account to my MacBook signing in to her iCloud account on the web.. would seriously request Apple to allow downloading not only by selecting items but also based on months, I had to manually remember which was the last/first photo/video taken of every month to organize them into monthly/yearly folders in my MacBook.. would seriously be great if there were option to download based on month & year (yes there is a 1000 limit)
I have some videos on iCloud. These are 4k60 videos. How do I just store the unmodified originals in the Photos app on my iPad/iPhone? When I preview the videos, they stream from iCloud, but I want to store specific videos from my iCloud in my photos app on my iPad. How does that work?
It's all or nothing. You either store the full quality or the optimized versions, for all photos and videos. This can be adjusted in settings > name > iCloud > photos.
Hey, how can I select my download options: Unmodified Originals (format as captured or imported), Highest Resolution (best quality for your device; typically HEIC or H.265), or Most Compatible (JPEG or MP4/H.264).
"How good and perfect that you can download only 1000 photos in one go", it helps me trying to understand which 1000 photos i already have downloaded from my 19000 it is so easy and perfect way to download all my photos and know that all of them are there, you just do it 19 times and if something goes wrong you just start all over again, perfect. and if something doesn't work ill just press in my iphone download originals and it will download them on my iphone maybe in one years time and after that i will just take them out. so perfect, super user friendly experience, it would be so hard and useless function if i could just download them all at once. thank you apple for this user friendly and logical way of work.
Apple what is happening to your system can’t find my pictures and videos anymore and I didn’t delete them can’t find them either on my iCloud this is really heartbreaking important video and pictures just went missing like pls do something about it
Thanks for the tutorial. Please advise why when I download ma photos to mac, using "Download Originals to this Mac", I do not have Album names as directory names? This prevents me to do a secondary backup of my photos to my private cloud and I'm losing ~10 years of sorting photos. Is this intentionally to not be able migrate out from apple photos to a different cloud provided?
I can’t believe that if you save or what I thought was backing your photos or videos to ICloud that if I delete a video from my iPhone, IPad or Mac App it completely deletes it for 30 days from the device and ICloud What is the point in having ICloud especially when you keep paying for extra storage. I had 100’s of videos of my fiancé who passed away tragically and I can’t locate a single video of him. Every video has disappeared and it’s not in hidden or deleted photos. I did not delete them. I do have a few videos that are now photos. You can imagine how heartbreaking this can be for someone in my position. I have his old IPhone and IPad and it synced to iCloud and the videos disappeared. If anyone has any suggestions please I would be eternally grateful. Thank you
Will this work even with a iPad/iPhone with lightning Connector?
No
Great tutorial, thanks for sharing.

Please help me my iPhone is lost 😢😢😢😢
PLEASE ALLOW FOR ONLY ONE COPY OF A PHOTO ESPECIALLY AFTER FILING UNDER A FOLDER. DUPLICATION IS NOT NECESSARY.
This is outdated methodology!
This update in app photo is sucks
