Next step: delete all pictures from my iPhone with Image Capture (an app built-in OS X). If I decided to let the process go for a long time, the process would probably still jammed at the same stage: uploading xxx items.Ī possible conclusion: iOS 8.1.2 is having an issue with one or more items in the picture database that freezes the uploading process. This could explain why more than 4 gigs of space were still consumed on my iPhone. My understanding is this: turning off iCloud Photo Library did not erase the local database of pictures.
#REPAIRING PHOTOS LIBRARY STUCK UPDATE#
I waited for the process to update a few minutes and found out that the uploading was still jammed! But, Since I didn’t want to get duplicates all over in my iCloud Photo Library, I stopped the process by turning iCloud Photo Library off again.
The iPhone stated that 711 pictures had to be uploaded to iCloud. Turning on iCloud Photo Library again didn’t produce the expected behaviour. Photos & Camera should be at the top of the list. Here is how iOS shows the space usage before turning back on iCloud Photo Library: I decided to go ahead and execute the rest of the initial plan, turn iCloud Photo Library ON and see how things go.
This is not what I would call a clean state. I then opened Settings.app and General / Usage / Storage and finally Photos & Camera was showing something unexpected: Photo Library was shown taking up 4.3 gigs of space. The reboot completed and then I came back to the Photos.app and still, all pictures were there and the same behaviour while trying to browse them. I was curious to see what has left on the Photos.app so I launched it… What a surprise, all pictures were there but browsing them produced black spaces all over… I decided to reboot my iPhone. After doing that, iCloud Photo Library (beta) was off and I waited a few minutes for my device to reclaim the space (I use a notification center widget called iMonitor to monitor the status of my device).
This warning was also expected because of my first choice. I choose “Remove from iPhone” since I wanted to “clean” my library on my device.

My understanding of this warning is that I can choose to download all my pictures currently on iCloud to my device (thus replacing what is on my iPhone). Turning off iCloud Photo Libray on my iPhone gave me two warnings:

Transfert pictures not uploaded to iCloud to my Mac with Image Capture (I didn’t want to lose them by executing the next step).And yes, I know, this piece of iOS is still in beta.Īfter looking at Apple Discussion Forums extensively, I decided that none of the plans could help me fix the issue. I was tired of waiting for Apple to fix the issue with a more stable release of iOS, so I decided to spend some time fixing the issue. This discussion has been viewed by more than five thousand users. See this discussion on Apple Support forums for more information. I experienced the issue many times in the past. If you are like me, you may be experiencing the famous “iCloud Photo Library” stuck uploading items problem on one of your iOS devices.
