    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...

    ICloud selective use ?

    Hi, I would like to know if it is worthwhile opening an ICloud account to share phtos on a selective basis. What I want to do is to upload only those photos I wish to share with certain friends, not all my photos in Mac Photos. I do not wish to upload all my photos, only the ones I choose. I...

    Purge iCloud Photo Library for space?

    Hi guys. I found something odd with my storage on iCloud Photo Library—my phone is set to keep originals which are 277 photos and 0 videos, taking up 703MB of storage. The odd thing is that my iCloud space says my Photos are taking 1.1GB which does not match what the local storage reports. I...

    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...

    Clarification needed: facetags preserved or not?

    I've been searching the forums and the web for a clear answer to this but am finding contradictory results. When going from El Cap to Sierra, are existing facetags (1) completely lost, (2) preserved but separate from the People functionality, (3) merged into People? I'm not so worried about the...

    Hello guys, I'm having trouble with the newly updated photos app, especially with computer vision. I am trying to search for objects (or words such as "beach, dog, cat") and there are no results.

    iCloud Photo Library not working on GM

    So I noticed my Photos weren't updating from my iPhone to my MacBook Pro and when I went to the iCloud preferences under System Preferences I noticed that Photos is unchecked. I tried to turn it on, but it hangs at "Checking Library" and refuses to turn on. I tried logging out of iCloud and back...

    4:3 and 16:9 photos with iPhone 7

    Why hasn't Apple moved to 16:9 ratio photos as standard with iPhone 7? 16:9 ratio video is standard, why not move as well with photos? 4:3 ratio should always be an option, but the default should be 16:9 ratio. I'm bored with seeing borders on each side of photos on iPhones equipped with a...

    iOS10 doesn't auto full screen 3x2 photos

    Hey guys, just upgraded to iOS 10. I crop all my photos 3x2, been doing this for years. Before version 10 it would always display those photos slightly zoomed in, to fill the entire iphone 6 screen, and remove the black borders. Since the update it doesn't do that anymore. Is there a setting...

    Best strategy or process for storing photos?

    Hi guys! I have a MacBook Pro with a 500 GB SSD. It's filling up quickly, and I am looking at getting a NAS (Synology or QNAP), and moving all my photos over there. However, I understand that linking the Photos app to a NAS library doesn't always work seamlessly, and can mess up things in the...

    iOS 10 Photos and facial recognition

    First, why don't I see a "faces" album on our iPhone 5? we have it on our iPhone 6s. Second, is there a way to add contacts or names in some way to the faces so that this info is in standardized IPTC keywords? Third, assuming one can add names, are the names linked to an area of the photo as...

    iOS 10 Photos: do Memories sync across devices?

    I had the public beta running on my iPad, now installed the release version on my iPhone. I have the impression that the Memories which had been created on my iPad have been synced to my iPhone, although my earlier understanding was that People and Memories didn't sync across iCloud. Does...

    Photos - Face recognition

    So I have a large icloud library of photos - more than 69k of them. As soon as Apple announced that iOS 10 would have new photo library features, I figured it was going to take a while for these to settle down on my phone and ipad, so I'm not surprised they're still indexing etc, and the...

    Photos are randomly ordered on apps

    The latest annoying issue I am having with my iPhone 6s Plus is the lack of order of photos in apps other than the built in photos app. Example: I recently downloaded freeprints app. It has really good reviews, so I decided to give it a try. I was going to print photograph from my wedding...

    iPad Pro

    I've recently seen TV adds touting the iPad Pro as a computer replacement. With my Mac Pro I can attach a Time Machine, load from and send files to several types of memory devices. My dilemma. I want to take an iPad Pro when I'm dry camping where access to the cloud does not exist. No phone...
