Just what it says.


You can sync your photos to your device using iTunes OR use the iCloud Phos Library. You can't use both at the same time.


If you continue, the 10.714 photos that you previously placed on your device using iTunes will be removed.


It is assumed you still have those photos on your Mac/PC and can or have added them to the photo library you are planning to sync using iCloud Photos.
