having all my photos stored in iCloud, only those imported/taken in 2016 are downloaded and visible. iPhone is stuck at adding ~9500 items from previous years. I can confirm that photos from previous years are visible on my iPad/old phone/ MacBook.
Tried with no success:
- disable icloud library, reboot, enable iCloud
- reset the device
Any suggestions?
iPhone 6s, iOS 9.3.1
9500 photos is a lot of data to upload. Be patient. Are you sure you have enough iCloud space?
Disable is not wise. The process starts all over again.
iPhone is empty. It's stuck from downloading from icloud to my device. It simply stopped at "adding 9652 items" for more than 2 days.
Same answer. Faster speed. Replace upload with download. If you interrupt the process, it must start over.
Do you have optimize on?
Optimize on. Internet download is 150 Mbit. No progress at all..
How much space do you have on the phone? How much space does your photo library take up? You may not have enough space, even with optimize on.
Optimize has to analyze each image and create a thumbnail based on the amount of space on your phone. For 9000+ images, that is a lot of work. Are you leaving the phone charging on a/c at night?
I would not toggle the library off and on again. I would do a reset all settings though. No data loss, but it will clean up your volatile memory on the phone.
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings. Removes your wifi password, any "remember me's" in Safari and any custom photo on your home screen.
49,7 GB available on the device ;-)
already reset the device and configured as a new iPhone without any success.
OK... than why not just toggle to originals and see if you can get something flowing then. It could be lots of things. A corrupt file.
I assume you are getting your 9500 figure from iCloud.com? Have any images ever downloaded to the phone?
If you go to Settings > iCloud> Storage > Manage Storage > Photos... what is the size of your Photo Library?
Toggle to originals doesn't work either. Seems that I now have issues with iCloud photo library on all my Apple devices (iOS and MAC OS X). Not sure what to do next...
Adding photos from iOS to iCloud doesn't work (new photos for example)
Adding photos from iCloud to iOS doesn't work..
New iPhone, iCloud photolibrary only adds photos from 2016, stuck at adding ~9500 items
