#Powerphotos library switch failed download#

It identified and allowed me to delete more than 5,000 photos from my Photos library and all seems to have synched ok. I do plug the phone in semi-regularly as I have Dropbox set up to grab photos, screen shots, etc.

In theory, I can just leave this alone and never import photos into the Photos app via lightning cable.

Importing them does not change their вЂњnewвЂќ flag (or whatever is telling Photos they have not been imported) вЂ“ Importing them then deleting the resulting duplicates doesnвЂ™t help.

If I import them, they create duplicates in the computer/cloud library.

When I connect the phone to my MBP via lightning cable, Photos says the phone has 483 вЂњnewвЂќ photos to import.

Is there an app that can fix photos on my phone?.

It was worth the 30 bucks and then some!! Huge thank yous to all who recommended Power Photos! Once your routine is error-free it should work as advertised.

If that doesnвЂ™t help and you have no real added metadata enhancements in your database, I would download all photos from iCloud to your computer and rebuild the Photos database from scratch by importing them to a new database and then setup up a sync device by device. Once you feel your database is clean switch sync back on and let it play out. Create some albums on affected photos to force change having to sync. When you get back to fast broadband, I would switch off sync on all devices and clean up your computer database with either Power Photos or just through visual inspection. The picture is exactly the same, but the metadata (and some of it you donвЂ™t see in standard screens) is different, thus it presents doubles. but does not reset the cloud sync perse.Дo you have a lot of faces- and location tagging in your database? because this might create different versions of a photo when there is a sync failure. Power Photos can help clean up your library, de-dupe etc. These have likely been caused by phone migrations or interrupted syncs. Looks like you have collected a number of sync hiccups over time that are playing up.

IвЂ™m going to have to hit pause with 463 items pending upload and close up at the coffee shop (not sure if IвЂ™ll get to high-speed anything for 4-5 more days).ДЇrustrated вЂ“ Thanks for any suggestions and help! How do I get them into the iOS Photos apps with only one copy of each thing and preserve all the date/place data? When I get home, is my fix to export all the photos somewhere, wipe my phone, and wipe out all my photos on iCloud? I really want to use iOS and macOS photos as my вЂњone-true-archiveвЂќ (especially as the camera I often have in hand IS my iPhone and I love the location-info and the ease of use) but it makes it so hard! вЂ¦ I canвЂ™t вЂњimport all newвЂќ items as clicking on the phone, when it is plugged in, shows about 14 duplicates of each one of hundreds of very old photos (one or two iPhones ago), just waiting to be imported and duplicated again.

I have other, longer-lasting issues in this area. Why canвЂ™t the app вЂњseeвЂќ that these are the same photos and not duplicate them? This may have been a mistake: I plugged my phone into my computer and imported a bunch of the recent photos/videos to the Photos app on the computer вЂ“ Now my computer has switched from trying to download the photos to uploading them to the cloud (as if they were new!) and I see duplicate thumbnails for everything I just imported. I really want my computer to have the same photo-set, to manage the photos on computer, ipad and phone and have them synch.Д¬omputer was taking forever (at coffee shop wifi speeds) to download from the cloud to the Photos app on macOS вЂ“ TheyвЂ™re about to close and I found my missing phone cable (USB C to iPhone). This is my third вЂњborrowed InternetвЂќ run. Trying to get everything synched at a coffee shop. I drove to my childhood home and itвЂ™s in the middle of very poor (cellular-only) Internet access. Am traveling and uploaded a lot of photos (and some videos) from my phone to the cloud.
