    I'm not expecting any fixes from the forum, but putting this out in case others experience the issue. I took several photos yesterday throughout the day.

    iPhone Photos app not indexing - search function broken

    I've perused the iOS 17 sub-forum and I took a long look here to find that no one else seems to be having this problem (kind of bummed to see that I'm the only one). I seem to have lost the ability to search my photo library. Used to be that typing "Cat" would bring up all the pictures taken of...

    Sensitive Content Warning

    Neither myself nor my friends have been able to get iOS 17's new Sensitive Content Warning feature to do anything at all. All explicit photos continue to be unblurred even after activating the feature in Privacy Settings. Has anybody actually been able to get it to work? Thanks!

    Will logging in to another iCloud account erase existing photos on new iPhone?

    Ok my situation is this, I’ve been using my iPhone 11 to take pics with a test iCloud account. If I now log into another iCloud account, will it erase the existing pics that are now in my phone? Or will it merge them?

    Auto sync new iPhone photos to Mac Photos Library

    Until recently when I opened the Library in Photos on my Mac, new photos that I'd taken on my iPhone would appear there if my phone was connected to my home wifi. I seem to remember an iOS setting way back to do it, but I can't find it anymore. It's been working since I had my M1 Max MBP 16in...

    iCloud "This iPhone cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available." but more than 2TB are available

    This is weird and annoying: I'm getting "This iPhone cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available." when I have more than 2TB free in iCloud. See screenshots below. I have shot 280 GB of long videos recently, and they are also stuck with iCloud Photo Library saying...

    Favorite photos unfavorited!

    My favorite photos were “deleted” from favorites album. Any solutions? I noticed because I’d favorite a bunch of photos after the last ones “favorite-d”, my last ones were from January and since that month I’ve added a lot more to that folder. And today when I was looking for a photo, they were...

    Combine imovie slideshow with a few movies in funeral loop?

    Dear Community, I usually enjoy researching things myself, and I've done enough to know I can create a slide show in the new Photos. (I'm just up to Catalina on my laptop and HIgh Sierra on my iMac to be able to use some legacy software.) What I'd like is a continuous loop that combines...

    Photos: "Download Originals to this Mac"

    HI there, I'm a long-time photographer and usually pretty savvy with DAMs (used Aperture for years), however I just cannot wrap my head around the way Apple Photos integrates with iCloud. I'm not an Apple Photos user, but my wife is. She has over 50,000 photos uploaded to iCloud photos, with...
