Waiting for ‘webcourier.push.apple.com’ message

Any solution to this Apple? I need to get 700 photos for work and only got as far as 200.

Now I can’t do any?

I use iCloud to back things up - but need them out the cloud to work on them.

needs a quick and successful resolution!!

Feel like my photos are being held hostage!!! Need to copy/download all my photos as a backup. Pay for storage and now can't do what I want with MY photos!! Frustrated beyond belief

Why isn't the issue being resolved?

Like others said this is frustrating. Was able to download 1,000 photo at once yesterday, then it kept getting smaller amount. I have 9 photos left and keep getting that message this morning!!! Lesson learned, delete the pictures I don't want and download weekly.

Same issue here - I'm on Windows 11 and I am only able to download 3 photos at once...attempt anymore and it brings up the same  "Waiting for ‘webcourier.push.apple.com’ message". Videos will only download singly. Again, like others I am used to simply selecting as many photo or video files as I like and have them all placed into a zipped folder...FIX IT PLEASE!

I am observing that users on Mac, Windows 10, and Windows 11 are all having the same problem. I too could download a lot of photos at once, up to stated limit for as long as I have had iCloud - for years. A week or so ago I started having the "webcourier" problem. Earlier today could download 30 photos, then this evening 6, then none at all. This is a MAJOR problem. Few things are more important to people then their photos. That is what people grab when fleeing their home in a disaster. Apple YOU NEED TO FIX THIS.

Olá,

Estou tendo exatamente o mesmo problema explicado acima com o download de fotos do iCloud.com. Recebo a mesma mensagem "aguardando webcourier.push.apple.com". Ontem, consegui baixar um lote de 1.000 das minhas fotos. Então eu só podia fazer 500, depois cerca de 30 e depois nenhum. Hoje baixei um lote de 500 fotos e, depois disso, nenhuma baixava. A mesma mensagem apareceu. Eu preciso baixar cerca de 10.000 das minhas fotos.

Por favor, corrija este problema o mais rápido possível. Do jeito que está, estou pagando pelo armazenamento do iCloud, mas minhas fotos estão bloqueadas no iCloud.

Its the same all round, Apple are making it so you HAVE to buy an apple laptop to actually use their device. It's anti-competitive as fcuk, and they can do whatever they want. Surely when you pay for a service that can host 2Tb of files, i think most people would assume that its not reasonable to download them 10 at a time. Hey, they could make the acutal app better. indeed even semi functional, but no, fcuk you you PC user. The fact that this whole scam isnt illigal, astounds me!

I think I may have found a solution for this. I'm not sure if it was a setting I changed but all of my iCloud photos are now downloading directly to my pc. I received a pop up when I was in iCloud it said that all my photos are being directly stored to my computer. Go to C:\Users\username\iCloudPhotos\Photos and every single iCloud photo I have was sent there. Its a huge mess as I deal with thousands of photos a week but I was able to find the photos I needed for today and save them to a folder

Same problrm:(

The downloading pictures, it worked wonderfully until a week ago, do not understand what happened it looks like a bug in the system, once lets download 10 pictures once one picture, and once not at all!

Please urgently take care of the malfunction we pay quite a bit of money for the storage,

I urgently need to download pictures and I do not intend to sit for hours downloading a single picture at a time!

And I do not understand why the support does not respond here!

It's really irresponsible!

I’m having the same problem. 😡😡

Apple,

Seriously? You have GOT to fix this. You know your customers have TOOOONS of pictures. Make it so we can download as many as we want at a time! And certainly fix this error! This is ridiculous. You are smart enough to make a phone with endless amount of functions. You’ve to go be smart enough to fix this.

I been working on a project for the last 3 months and downloading at least a 100+ pictures at a time. Today it does not work. I even restarted my computer. How am I to finish my project in one week as a gift to a 72 year old person. You ruined my present!!! You better fix it tonight!!!

I am having the same problem and can’t download more than about 15 photos at a time!😡

what a joke! You would think a company like Apple would have a better, actually working, functionality than this. It’s ridiculous.

Found a workaround, sort of - I connect my iPhone through USB and go in through File Explorer and access the DCIM folder. There pics are in sub folders by month, which is what I wanted in the first place. I move them off to my C: drive using regular Windows copy / paste / delete and there you go. Still, it would be nice if Apple's functionality worked the way it's supposed to, especially when people are paying for it at levels higher that 5GB. So Apple - again, please fix this!

hey i used to copy paste my pictures from DCIM folders to my PC as well but I noticed not all pictures show up in the DCIM folders, any idea how i can fix it? For example, at the first try i would see 100 pictures in Feb 2022 month folder but when i disconnects it and reconnects, it would show 95 pictures lol.

I tried that but I don't have a folder that's called icloud photos. I talked to Apple care twice and to Microsoft twice and nobody found anything wrong. Microsoft put several updates on my computer and I couldn't use my keyboard afterwards and had to uninstall the last update to get it working again. Nobody seems to even have heard of this problem. Apple gave me a link to a Microsoft help page where it said that I should download my photos via Microsoft Photos. I did that in the past and hated it because it often didn't work because it didn't find my phone and if it worked, it never downloaded all of my photos. But I was desperate so I tried it again now. It downloaded 2000 photos even though there are looooots more in my icloud. Microsoft then told me that Microsoft Photos isn't a download app but they didn't tell me what IS. This is so frustrating and annoying. I've spent so much in the Apple care hotline and the Microsoft CHAT (!!!! I don't get it why there is no phone service available because of the big C) and still my photos are "being held hostage" as somebody here said so.
