there was an error downloading this photo from your iCloud photo library

Thanks, that helps for the future. I had switched it off, but the issue was getting all my low-res photos back to high-res on my iPhone. Through persistence, what I've found is that by using the Photos app, not the Camera app, I can get them back from the cloud one by one by trying to edit them. About 90% of the tries I'll get the "Cannot Download Photo" error, but occasionally it will complete. So eventually I may be able to recover all the photos from the iCloud to my iPhone. At which point I'll cance iCloud and never use it again!

Hi. Pllllease help me clarify this a little more. I am having the same issue and cannot edit any of my videos i have saved on my icloud. I use my photos app and go to the video and press the little button for editing and it gives me the " cannot download video, there was an error downloading this video from your icloud photo library" what did you do? Did it work?

I have done all of that, turned off low battery, closed all open apps and shut down but I still get the error.....I have not signed out if my iCloud though - too scared to in case I lose everything - is there actually an Apple fix for this?

This is ridiculous. Apple why don't you solve this???

Lately I have been having a lot of issues with the Photo iCloud storage. Photos don't load or it takes 2-3 tries (yes not 1 or 2 but more tries) to edit pictures, or you get the icloud error message.

My resume you cannot trust this service if you need it for documents it will fail you!

I tried this one but when I signed in and then checked my photos, i couldn’t find anymore those photos which has an error downloading from icloud photo library. what should I do? How can I recover those photos again?

This has nothing to do with the issue discussed here.

It's similar, but it's not the actual problem.

Because the exclamation point and the blurring and the inability to edit or share with other apps happen without the low battery mode being turned on.

I think that's the problem. It's what I'm having anyway.

I never use Low Battery Mode and I still have the same issue happening.

Can't find a solution, still. Unforetunately.

I shut down iPhoto. Restarted. Turned off all other apps. No luck.

iPhone takes a copy out to iCloud (right when I shoot it) and leaves me with a blury one that I can't edit or share.

Uploading it is the point of me turning on syncing with iCloud. But, there's this issue of not being able to load the recently taken photo that happens almost 70% of the time.

Very frustrating. Help is needed & greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I find it a bit ridiculous that this was posted three years ago and people are still having this problem...maybe instead of pumping out new phones Apple should worry a bit more about fixing issues on their existing products.

Continuing on my post above, in case they really are missing from iCloud, I also found that there is a recently deleted folder which stores deleted photos for 30 days. You can try that. Here's the link.

Hello. I have the same situation. What did you do? Thanks

I agree. Its because they’re basically a monopoly and can do whatever they want
