I specifically asked him whether that could result in data loss. The support rep told me to deactivate and then reactivate iCloud Photos on each of my devices. Since I didn’t see a smart way to proceed, I called up AppleCare and asked them what to do. In the process, my MacBook told me that there wasn’t enough space on my disk to keep all originals (which is in itself weird, as I had about 40GB left on my drive and before uploading the pictures, all pictures were solely on the MacBook). I noticed the next day that the count of pictures and videos differed an each device: Device

A couple days later, my Photos were successfully synced to my iPhone, iPad and Mac mini - or so I thought… I also did this one device at a time and waited until Photos was done downloading thumbnails). To avoid further trouble, I first imported any remaining pictures from my iPhone and iPad to the Mac the old fashioned way via a cable and only activated iCloud Photos after deleting every photo left on the device (and also removed it from the ‘recently deleted’ folder). I did cost me some time as I have all my pictures sorted into albums which meant that I had to sort them all again but I was happy that I could finally enable it on my other devices. After importing them again, they were uploaded without any problems. Then I manually exported the pictures as originals out of my library and imported them back in. Of course, as I was about to do a serious change in my library, I made another backup. But the pictures were a mix of HEICs, JPGs and RAWs from different iPhones and cameras. I then investigated whether there was a particular picture file format or camera was causing the problem. Unfortunately, the result was the same - still about 1600 photos could not be uploaded. As a safety measure, iCloud deletes pictures after 30 days, so I had to wait.Īfter the 30 days, I tried it again.
So I decided to deactivate iCloud Photos on the Mac, went into the iCloud preferences and deleted all my pictures from iCloud. restarting photos.app, restarting the Mac, giving it some additional time while plugged into power). At that point, I was not very concerned and tried some general troubleshooting (eg. Once the upload was finished after a couple of days, it told me that about 1600 of my 40,000 photos could not be uploaded to iCloud. That’s were a month-long journey started…

Shortly after, I made an additional backup of my library and then checked the box to activate iCloud Photos on my MacBook Pro where all of my photos were stored. So I upgraded to the 2TB plan which then basically gave me iCloud photos ‘for free’. Additionally, at that time, I was on the 200GB plan which was starting to get just a bit too small for my document storage needs. On the one hand, the changes to Photos in iOS 13 were compelling. After holding off of iCloud Photos for a long time, I decided a few months ago to finally make the jump, mainly due to two factors.
