    Large video files aren't deleted correctly – they get stuck in iCloud!

    Earlier this year, I frequently recorded large 1080p videos (1 hr long @ 3-4 Gb) with my iPhone connected to iCloud. After a while I noticed that the iCloud storage space occupied by Photos/Videos was massively increasing at a steady pace – even though I always deleted the videos from my iOS...

    How do you quickly label photos imported into Photos?

    I am a Realtor. I take tons of photos and videos. They are on an SD card that I insert into the side of my iMac and bring into Photos for editing and labeling before using for marketing purposes. The first problem is that Photos does not give you a way to create an Album before you import the...

    iPad What is the "Apple Way" to Store Photos?

    Apple seems to be pushing iOS devices as a main computing platform, and without connecting to a PC or Mac the best way to store photos seems to be iCloud Photo Library. But the best I can find is that they still recommend a PC or Mac to back up the library. So there's no real way to drop the PC...
