iPad Select all on iCloud Photos on an ipad

[mrochester]

Hi all

apples website states to select your entire photo library tap ‘select all’ as per point 2 under the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch instructions here:

Download iCloud photos and videos - Apple Support

With iCloud Photos, you can download a copy of your photos and videos on any device. Use iCloud.com or the Photos app.

support.apple.com

I can’t see a select all button. I have a select button which once tapped allows me to individually tap photos to select.

does anyone know where the select all button is?

many thanks.

It says to do this at icloud.com. This means not the Photos apps on your device, but you need to go to www.icloud.com on your computer and do this I think.

I’m doing it on iCloud.com via safari.

Then Apple messed up.

you have to go inside an album on iCloud.com, then the option becomes available.

What exactly are you trying to do?

If you just want to download the full size versions of you iCloud Photo Library, then just go to Settings - Photos and enable Download and Keep Originals. Make sure the iPad is connected to wifi and plug it into the charger so it can download in the background.

I just wanted to see if there was a way to do it. The poster above is correct, you have to go into an album before you can select all.
