Uncloudable photos

Written early in the evening in English • Tags: , ,

Since switching to the iCloud Photo Library, the Photos app on my laptop has kept telling me that

  • 1 Item on This Mac Only
  • Unable to Upload 9 Items

To identify the oddball photos, I created the following smart folders respectively:

  • [Photo] [is] [referenced]
  • [Photo] [is] [unable to upload to iCloud Photo Library]

Referenced photos can be consolidated into the library and would then be uploaded to iCloud — mine was a duplicate, so I just deleted it. The photos that could not be uploaded were photos that had been deleted, but somehow a reference had been kept or imported.
