As far as I can remember, only Siri was released to the public as a beta. It’s interesting that Apple is running a beta for this feature. iTunes won’t let you add photos if you have iCloud Photo Library switched on.
Then iCloud Photo Albums will just pick them up automatically. Right now the best option looks like the amazing Photosync app, and sending the photos direct to your iOS device from the Mac. My iPhone and iPad Air are both working just fine, but as I have like 70GB of photos synced to the Air from iTunes, I haven’t upgraded yet, although I will as soon as I find a workaround for the loss of iTunes photo sync. I’ve been running all the iOS 8 betas on my iPad mini, and it’s having some trouble with several iCloud-connected services, even though it’s now on the iOS 8 GM seed. I plugged my iPhone in overnight and let it do its thing, but it seems to work fine in the background as you keep using the device.Īnd that’s it. Now you just have to wait for your photos to upload to your new iCloud Storage.
