Syncing photos via iTunes is not supported when iCloud Photo Library is turned on
26.6080 Photos and Videos will be removed
I see this terrifying message when I'm turning on iCloud Photos on, this is not logical at all
is there any meaning of this and a solution please?
iPhone XS
It's either or.
You can sync using iCloud, or you can sync using iTunes. You can't do both.
i don’t find this logical!!
Logic has nothing to do with this. It's how Apple has designed the process.

I am done trying to help you.
You have the solution to keep your photos in one place, which is ICloud Photo Library.
I am assuming, because you have not provided details to the contrary, the photos being synced via iTunes ARE ALSO in your local photos library.
If so, ALL of your photos in your local Photos Library will sync to iCloud and after that, will sync to your device. One library in 2 "safe" places.
As part of that process, you MUST remove the iTunes synced photos from your device. After that the iCloud Photo Library syncing process will put them back on your phone. You have no choice.
Please read the documentation for iCloud Photo Library. Nobody here can read your mind to figure out what you want, what you know and what you don't know.

ok...
The iCloud Photo Library "process" REPLACES syncing with iTunes. As technology moves forward, so do processes and features.
When iTunes first synced photos with devices, the "cloud" did not exist at the consumer level.
I am a bit confused. You don't want both libraries synced, correct?.
If you read the message, the photos ON YOUR DEVICE will be removed. Isn't that what you want?
but my old synced iTunes photos about 26K photos and videos didn’t want to sync to iCloud from my iPhone XS MAX
If you want to maintain BOTH libraries syncing with iCloud, you can't using 2 syncing methods.
To keep my photo library safe on iCloud, and access them everywhere,

thats was the source of this issue
If the photos and videos are in iCloud, they will sync to your device. You can't have photos synced from the computer on a device that is syncing to iCloud.
What i mean by logic, Apple should design anything to keep my 500GB photos library, i didn’t design iTunes or iCloud, it’s their products, i paid for 2TB iCloud storage to keep my photos safe, so it’s not logical at all for all these Apple services to not work in harmony,
what i need is how to keep this dumb photo library without deleting half of it for Apple’s defective design sake?!

No amount of moaning or appealing to logic here in this community will change this.

You have choices - accept this and move on, provide your Feedback where it may influence the developer or get another product.
I just submitted a feedback, i hope they get rid of this,
in other hand if i import all my library to macOS then sync it, will it do the job?
i mean sync everything my iTunes synced photos and original photo library?
Best Regards.
will it do the job?
I don't know what this means.
If you use only iCloud Photo Library, have enough storage space on iCloud AND on your Mac, your photo library will be the same in both places.
Is that what you want? Why did you want to enable iCloud Photo Library in the first place? You have not said why.
No, I’m done with iTunes syncing, it’s been 2-3 years last time i synced photos back to my iPhone,
now i bought a 2TB iCloud storage and i want to backup all my 500GB photos library to iCloud photos, that’s where i saw that terrifying message that says to delete a 26K iTunes synced photos
i need a solution to keep all my photos in one place synced to iCloud photos
and sure without deleting those 26K photos
Yes maybe you’re right there’s a lack of information
i have now all my photos on my iPhone
i don’t have them on my my 256GB MacBook Pro
thats why i hav to sync them to iCloud photo from my iPhone
if i get a MacBook with more storage and import all my iPhone photos to macOS photos, will i be able to sync them all to iCloud photos from the Mac?
All photos are synced to my iPhone, i faced this issue when i want to sync everything on iCloud,
i don’t find this logical!!
