Ios 13 Not Uploading to Icloud Photo Library
- #one
Having a bit of an issue. I've upgraded from the iPhone 11 Pro to the 13 Pro, same storage size for both, 512GB. I upgraded my iCloud plan recently to 2TB so that I tin upload all of my photos. When I did this, information technology started syncing ok. I woke upwardly this morning expecting to see everything uploaded only was surprised that out of 26,000 photos and videos, 10,000 were in the 'unable to upload' album and it had actually only uploaded around 5,000.
I've done everything that'south been suggested on the internet, toggling iCloud photos, sign out of iCloud and signing back in, restarting the device etc. Each time, it will commencement to upload again just the majority of the photos end upwardly in the 'unable to upload' album. This is even the case for photos taken today, they get straight into that album. No issues with space on either the phone or iCloud. The phone is connected to power, information technology'south on Wifi and can connect to iCloud.
I also bought the new iPad mini on launch 24-hour interval and it does not have whatever of these issues, everything uploads absolutely fine.
The annoying matter is, there are no error logs or warnings to try to work through, they simply just don't upload.
Has anyone experienced this issue?

Yes, I practice sympathize it will take a few days. I just a bit concerned that items are specifically moving into the 'unable to upload' album. I don't understand why that would happen. I guess I'll accept to wait until everything that tin exist uploaded has and then see what is left.

same here with my iPhone thirteen Pro, they take forever to upload. I think this is an iOS problems non the phone'southward error.

It'southward not unreasonable to imagine that iCloud servers get overwhelmed at times - especially right after launch mean solar day when everyone on earth is slamming them.

I'd semi be ok with this every bit a reason, just I wouldn't expect the phone to specifically move photos to an album that information technology won't try to upload. That is what concerns me, and non knowing why. Information technology seems entirely random.

Is it moving photos to the 'unable to upload' anthology? I'g ok with it taking a long time, and then long as information technology does really complete!

oh no, the photos just sit down there, and I see either upload pause or says uploading forever....but after like a couple of hours I exercise see the photo/video on all my devices and so the progress bar is just messed upwardly.\
another bug, attempt editing a video, just add together a filter or whatsoever consequence. when you hitting done, you won't run across the progress bar and if yous try to use that video for anything like to use it in iMovie or upload it to Instagram, it'south not usable because the edit is nonetheless in progress but we don't accept a fashion to know since there is no progress circle.
PS: My iPhone 13 on iOS 15 was set up up as a new telephone not even restored from a fill-in then there are no conflicting settings / apps in that location.
Uploading to iCloud paused message…

So things practise seem to accept improved. It is uploading ok now, with no growth in the 'unable to upload' album although there'due south all the same nigh 5000 entries there. I guess it must have been a temporary result.

some other bug, attempt editing a video, only add a filter or any issue. when you hit done, y'all won't run into the progress bar and if you endeavour to apply that video for annihilation like to employ information technology in iMovie or upload it to Instagram, it'southward not usable because the edit is withal in progress but we don't accept a way to know since at that place is no progress circumvolve.
Uploading to iCloud paused message…
Yeah same for me.

Well it has uploaded everything that it didn't put into the 'unable to upload' anthology. I'm going to effort toggling iCloud photos on and off to see if it will endeavor over again.

Well, same behaviour, it's simply filling up the 'unable to upload' album over again. This fourth dimension with some of the aforementioned photos but also some new ones besides...
I guess I'k going to accept to speak to Apple.

Hey handymanuk,
Whatever luck asking Apple about the issue @handymanuk ? I'm having problems with the cloud sync likewise. I setup the iPhone thirteen Pro by cloning it from my sometime iPhone 11. Non sure why it has to upload all the photos to the cloud once more, they were copied in the process and therefore the new telephone should already be in perfect sync with the cloud. Yet right now it'south trying to upload all the 130.000 photos simply some randomly seem to exist 'unable to upload' (around 10k right at present). I can not find a pattern on which.
Read some random commodity well-nigh format issues merely this doesn't seem to exist the case hither as information technology fails to upload old as new photos.
Thanks

Then apparently it resolved itself. After the initial upload finished information technology somehow retried the 'unable to upload' folder. This time it was able to upload almost all of them except for around 200 photos. All of them are new. Every bit a workaround I was able to create duplicates for those and delete the originals - the duplicates were uploaded.
Even so would capeesh whatever update on the issue @handymanuk, hope y'all tin fix it.
Cheers

Thanks for the tip well-nigh duplicating. I've got but xi photos left out of 27,000 that won't upload at present. It seems to have uploaded both the duplicate and the original. I am assuming that I can delete the duplicate now?
I have not contacted Apple nonetheless. To exist honest I can't really cope with beingness told that I'd probably have to restore from backup. I'd rather try to figure it out myself and avert the pain.

Probably trying to upload ane of your videos. I hope yous don't have a thirty minute + video in 1080p or 4k. Depending on your isp upload speeds. Videos lone could accept days as that one file could take 12-14 hours to upload on 10-30mbps upload speed... if you could, become somewhere that has a super fast cyberspace. 1gb upload speeds and see if that will help…222 gigs is a lot to upload. But it will eventually get thru it

Tin can you go to the unable to upload folder and see what's not uploading? What's at the top of the list? Is it a video?

Thanks for the tip near duplicating. I've got only 11 photos left out of 27,000 that won't upload at present. It seems to have uploaded both the duplicate and the original. I am assuming that I can delete the indistinguishable at present?
I have not contacted Apple even so. To be honest I can't really cope with beingness told that I'd probably take to restore from backup. I'd rather try to figure it out myself and avoid the pain.
Fugitive the hurting of being asked if your WIFI is on.
Did you 'select all' -> 'duplicate' out of the 'unable to upload' folder?
Was this done for just the xi left overs OR for a whole agglomeration of them?
Which photos so ended up every bit doubles in the cloud? Only old (taken with the onetime iPhone) ones VS all of them? I would recommend to bank check information technology by logging into the cloud via the browser.
Have you been able to detect whatever blueprint on the remaining xi Photos? For example are all taken with the new iPhone?
For me it went every bit follows:
1-> cloning iphone11 to iphone13 pro
2-> iphone13 starting to upload all 130k photos to cloud again
iii-> for quite a while it was doing and then with good speed
4-> after like 3,5h it got super tedious and later I realized that now all photos end up in unable to upload folder
5-> I restarted my telephone which solved it for at present
Stride four & five repeated itself
vi-> Merely too one or two random former photos were unable to upload
7-> afterwards it finished, it somehow retried all the ~10k that were unable to upload
8-> succeeding for all only around 230
9-> those were all new photos, when I duplicated them, only the duplicated ended upward in the deject
^ is this somewhat comparable?

I'yard reviving this thread since it's the simply relatively contempo one I can find that has dealt with the "unable to upload" Mac Photos issue with syncing to iCloud Photo
Subsequently getting a new MBP (running Monterey) in Oct and upgrading my iCloud storage to 2TB, I finally turned on iCloud Photos on my MBP to sync my Photos library to iCloud for the first fourth dimension ever. (Note that I did Non plough iCloud Photos on any other Apple device I own.) Almost immediately, the "Unable to Upload" folder appeared in Photos and started populating. Out of approx 50k items (95% photos, the rest videos), about one-half of them concluded up in the "Unable to Upload" folder. Some are onetime photos/videos imported into iPhoto fifteen years ago -- some are new photos from the last year. Some were photos edited in iPhoto/Photos/Photoshop -- some were unedited originals. Some are older JPGs -- some are HEIF. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason.
Things I've tried so far, unsuccessfully:
- turning iCloud Photos off and dorsum on
- rebuilding/repairing my MBP Photos library and turning on iCloud Photos
- copying the Photos library to a different brand new user business relationship on my computer and doing the upload
- doing the upload in safe mode
- deleting the sync record in the Photos library file (at least based on the instructions I was able to detect online) and doing the upload
- turning off iCloud Photos and deleting all the successfully synced photos on the iCloud web portal (1000 at a time) and also deleting them from the "Recently Deleted" web trash and and so turning iCloud Photos back on.
None of these permutations worked. I have spoken to several AppleCare reps and my side by side step would be to talk to someone in technology, which I haven't done yet. I do wonder if there's whatever sync record/preferences on my Mac that still could be the culprit. Or perhaps something on the server side. It'southward truly bizarre and extremely frustrating since it's the reason I upgraded to a 2TB iCloud business relationship and having all my photos/videos available across my diverse Apple devices would be extremely useful for my workflow at this bespeak.
Has anyone else experienced this issue, specially on this scale? If information technology were a few dozen photos, I'd just duplicate or export them. But the idea of Apple tree'southward workaround of exporting "unmodified originals" and consequently losing thousands of edited photos is untenable. And the idea of duplicating over 20k photos - modified or not - so deleting the originals is as well a nightmare, particularly given all the albums I've created over the years that would be obliterated.
Whatever thoughts/advice would be great appreciated!

Hey Human,
What practice you mean y'all "did not TURN iCloud photos whatever other device"?
Has it already been enabled at that place? How come that that the new MBP is the source of the files? What settings do you use for iCloud photos, e.yard. storage optimized, go on format, etc..
Cheers

Hey Man,
What do y'all mean you lot "did not Plow iCloud photos any other device"?
Has information technology already been enabled there? How come that that the new MBP is the source of the files? What settings do you lot apply for iCloud photos, e.g. storage optimized, continue format, etc..Cheers
Hey haggel! I didn't enable iCloud Photos on my iPhone or iPad to avert uploading photos from multiple devices at the aforementioned time. I wanted to do the upload systematically, one device at a fourth dimension, in case annihilation went wrong (as it did). Every bit for why the new MBP is the source of the files... I transferred my data from my onetime MBP to my new one in October and, afterwards years of delaying on trying iCloud Photos, I decided to finally pull the trigger and enable iCloud Photos to sync my fifteen+ years of accumulated photos/video in my Photos library. I chose "Download Originals to this Mac" since I'chiliad not concerned about space on my MBP and I always want the full library to exist locally.

Took me a week to upload my library from my windows machine in bulk when I moved from Google photos over to iCloud. I had 300gb or so of stuff.
I didn't pay a ton of attention to it but seemed like it would batch a certain amount of stuff out and and then sit idle and practice another batch. They might not allow anyone exceed a certain corporeality of bandwidth per twenty-four hours or who they hell knows but information technology eventually all got uploaded.

Hey Fatus - alas my event isn't about how long information technology takes to upload the photos, just rather that approx 50% of the photos won't upload at all and end up in the "Unable to Upload" folder in Photos on the Mac.

Cheers for the tip about duplicating. I've got but 11 photos left out of 27,000 that won't upload at present. It seems to have uploaded both the duplicate and the original. I am bold that I can delete the indistinguishable now?

How-do-you-do, I am currently facing the same problem. I just wanted to ask for an update from you, if your images were then uploaded to ICloud from the "unable to upload" folder and what steps did you do to make that happen? Did the "unable to upload" binder upload to Icloud on its ain with fourth dimension when plugged to the power and wifi? Thank y'all
