photos

I will be going on a two week trip and I could use some advice on the best workflow for syncing my photos while traveling. This is my current gear: iPad Air 2 - 64 GB MacBook Air circa 2011 - 256 GB HD Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX85K will be shooting in JPG I am trying to figure out the best...

I've got Time Machine backing up my main drive but due to lack of storage space on it, I've had to move my Photos Library to one of the other internal drives on my Mac mini (180GB library). Any way to set Time Machine to backup just the Photos Library file on that drive, rather than the other...

I just updated to 10.12.4, and now, when I open Photos, my iCloud album in the sidebar is gone. Is this a bug or a "feature"? I have no idea why Apple would have removed it. (Photos are still downloading into Photos from iCloud, but I can't see my actual iCloud stream.) Thanks.

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...

Hi! I'm not sure what happened. I have 12 photo albums in my photo library, and suddenly they're all empty. The albums are still there and titled correctly, but all of my pictures have been deleted. The only pictures that are showing up are five that I took on my phone yesterday. I connected...

Alright so recently my phone has been having all kinds of problems and I'm really not sure what to do about it. My iMessage keeps crashing and whenever I try to send a text, the text sends but then the app crashes. Some of the photos I take end up as solid gray photos. My wi-fi will not function...

Hello, I am beating my head on this as it poses a threat to both of my Macs. First I am running a iMac (2012) 27in with 2 internal drives ( 1TB HHD and 250SSD), along side a Macbook Pro (2012 Pre Retina), with one internal 500GB SSD. Both machines running Sierra. Here is my issue, I am trying...

Hi folks, Hopefully I have listed this in the correct area as I have tried to look for my issue but haven't found anything exact to list it under. Anyway my problem is, I have just purchased a Mac Mini i7 16GB 256GB SSD (2014) from a friend. I have done a complete wipe and fresh install of the...

Some weeks ago I've been planing to finally archive all my photos in the right way. Mi iPhone is full of pics and my free iCloud account can't store all my Reflex photos. So... my plan is to setup Photos on OSX as my main Library, without sync it with iCloud. So, that way I could store all my...

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...

Hi all, I am a long term photographer, and recently I decided to migrate my library to Photos on MacOS and iOS. Overall, I really love it. It is great to know that a hard drive failure won't result in me losing all of my photos and also that my pictures are available on my device. The photo...

Hi, I have +1000 photos on my mac, each of them nicely tagged with multiple tags using OS X tags. I would like to view a bunch those photos on my IOS, with the possibility to search them by tag, directly on my iPhone/ipad... Is there somehow a way, an app, a trick, to do that ? I don't care if...

Odd. I seem to remember in earlier versions of Photos that using an external editor would automatically create a dupe, so after you edited and saved…you would have your original next to your edited pic. Now it seems (on all my computers) that editing only edits the original, without...

I've been set the task of transferring about 2500 photos to an iPad. Sounds simple. I used to do this using iTunes but with the latest release i'm unable to drag n drop them into the iPad. It only says that iCloud photos is on, and i can can download them onto my device via wi-fi or cellular...

Hi! My wife's SSD in an old 13in MBP stopped working today. She restarted it due to some problem and then it got stuck on the start-up screen, and after multiple attempts to fix the problem with no luck, I've given up on the SSD. However, I was able to use Date Rescue to copy the files over...

So last night I tried to backup my iPhone 5S onto iTunes. My phone crashed, was stuck on the Apple logo, so I spent all night updating the software to the new iOS with it in safety mode. When it finally came back on, I could get into my phone but everything was very slow and clunky. This...

I so hope someone can help me. Last year I bought a My Passport for Mac. I just wanted it to save my pictures to. I never realized this before but it seems once I save them from My Photos to the Passport it changes the "created date" to the date that I actually saved it to on the Passport. Now...

Hi, As an all time Windows user I just recently switched to a macbook pro while still using my Desktop PC. I have a lot of pictures to organize and I need some help on a few issues I've encountered so far. On Windows 10 I just save my pictures in folders named like this f.e. "2016_12_24...

I'm former android user and I had always flagship phones before. After many years I decided to buy iPhone because I wanted to change system and to have smaller yet powerful device with great camera. So I bought iPhone 7, latest and greatest. He has everything great except.... Camera. Well using...

I am trying to make more room on my mac's hard drive by moving my photos to an external hard drive. I need to be able to transfer a copy of the photos I want to move to the external hard drive and then make sure that all extra copies (previews, thumbnails, and masters) are erased from my mac...
