I enabled the iCloud Photo Library on my iphone 5s (running ios8 betas) and everything seemed ok. When I restored my icloud backup onto my new iPhone 6, my icloud photos never fully loaded on either my iphone or my mini. The option "Download and keep originals" is checked on my iphone but not my mini. I am NOT able to download any of the full resolution photos prior to the beginning of June 2014 on either device. When I click the somewhat blurry thumbnail a little explanation point shows up in the bottom right. When I click "edit" I get the message "Cannot Download Photo. There was an error downloading this photo from your iCloud Photo Library. Please try again later." I'm really concerned that my photos may not be recoverable.
I'm worried that the reason is that I never migrated my iphoto library to the photo app (http://www.imore.com/ios-8-kills-iphoto-messy-transition-photos). A few months ago I did a clean install on my phone and never reinstalled iphoto. When I installed ios8 I never received a message to migrate but, again, on my iPhone 5s (running the iOS 8 betas) I didnt have a problem.
This is EXTREMELY troubling as I have over 5,000 photos that I now can't access, even though I can SEE the thumbnails. If this is temporary & I just have to be patient while they fix up the icloud photo library that's fine... but not knowing if these will eventually restore is driving me crazy. Of course, I do have all photos automatically saving to dropbox but I really like having them in my iOS photo album, in order of when they were taken.
Any suggestions???
