    Migrating iPhoto library (MBP Late 2008, Mavericks) to Photos library (iMac 2017, Sierra)

    I finally replaced my old MacBook Pro Late 2008 with a 5K iMac 2017. I had added additional RAM and replaced the HDD with a 1 TB Samsung Evo 840 SSD. But, actually, I was not using the old MBP very often in the last two years. I decided to start the new iMac with its clean pre-installed MacOS...

    Downloaded 10.3.3 and Now Having Problems

    I just downloaded the 10.3.3 OS for my iphone 5s (I think that is the model number). Anyway, now the iphone and my MacBook are not syncing. I plug in the phone and it asks if the computer can be trusted, and I say yes, and then iTunes says it cannot connect to the phone because of an error...

    Can save to folder, can't access that folder

    So I dislike using iPhoto and because of that I started a separate folder for when I cleared photos off my phone using Image Capture. When I open Image Capture it's still set to save images to that location, and will do so when I plug my phone in. However, I cannot access that folder any more. I...

    What is the easiest way to manually unify my photos, aperture, and iPhoto's libraries?

    Searching through the internet there doesn't seem to be a solution to merge libraries in the Mac Photos app. I now have 3 libraries, aperture, photos, and iPhoto. I just use photos to import stuff so keeping albums and edits aren't a big deal. What would be the easiest way? Find the content...

    Photos Distorting Images

    When I make edits to my images in the Photos App and click "done", I see the preview of the image look distorted and mis-rendered (see attached picture). I can fix this distortion by making slight tweaks to the edits that I have just made, but sometimes that does not always work and I have to...

    Went from iPhotos to Photo.

    This problem is two fold. I have a lot of unwanted JPG's populating my new Photos library, like thousands, apparently from Apple. I also have the problem of the photos from the former iPhoto I used for years not populating the new Photo library. These problems started when the hard drive...

    Handling Photos' AI and manual keywords

    Dear all, I just updated to Sierra and got the new Photos application which, as one says, is enough (artificially) intelligent to assign keywords to my pics. I have been manually assigning keywords to good old iPhoto for years, which is, doing it thoroughly, a quite time-consuming process...

    Importing olden iPhoto Libraries into Photos for iCloud Sync

    I have a hard drive with a few old iPhoto libraries from backups of past Macs. I want to import them into iPhoto so they back up to my iCloud account. When I drag the icon into Photos, it asks if I want to switch libraries. I'm not sure if that's what I want to do. Does anyone have experience...

    a few Photos questions; just moved from iPhoto today

    I just got a new 2016 MBP and decided it was time to switch from iPhoto to Photos, especially since a few features I liked have been brought back (the map, the ability to add or edit a location, etc.). A few quick questions: 1. From reading, I expected the face-scanning to take a long time...

    iCloud Photo Library messing with iTunes photo sync

    I'm having an issue with iCloud library talking to my iOS devices. I don't know when things changed, but I am running 10.0.2 on my iPhone and 10.1 beta on my iPad. My Mac is running Sierra. I have had my photos on iCloud Photo Library for 6+ months. When I first started to use it, I remember...

    Open Photos to see your photos

    Is Apple ever going to fix this absurd problem? I was hoping that this issue would be fixed with Sierra and a Photos update. I've sent a lot of feedback to Apple about it. But evidently, usability is no longer a priority. For those unfamiliar with it: try to access your Photos library from...

    Merge iPhoto libraries without 3rd-party software?

    Just got a Mini to replace an old iMac as media server in the house; now that I finally have all my Macs on El Capitan I need to start the slow transition to MacOS Photos from iPhoto. I have at least 5 iPhoto libraries I'd like to merge into a master library I'll keep in Photos on the server...

    Deleted photos keep popping back in iPhoto

    No matter how many times I delete photos, empty the trash....THEY COME BACK, over and over and over and over and over again. Who at Apple thought this was a good idea...or just a joke on users?

At the end of each year I also export my iPhoto (yes, I have an old Mac)into external hard drive. However I noticed that once I transfer my iPhoto library onto the external hard drive...

    Resolved How can I get iPhoto back on OS X Mavericks 10.9.5?

    I was prepping my 2009 MBP OS X 10.9.5 Mavericks to give away, and wiped my hard drive and reinstalled the same OS. I don't have iPhoto anymore, but would like to reinstall to organize my photo library one more time before messing with Photos in a newer MBP. How do I go about downloading it...

    Hello guys, it would be so nice if you could help me out. The Thing is, that I am sick of El Capitan on my mid 2012 MacBook Air, 4gb. I have the Feeling that my OS got slow ever since I upgraded to Yosemite and El Capitan. In my opinion, Mavs was the fastest OS. After upgrading to Yosemite, I...
