I am trying to help a customer out in regard to retrieving 13GB of photos. They were originally in iPhoto but he cannot recall what OS his 2013 Macbook Pro was running when he upgraded to Big Sur. He is a bit vague on the full details so I am too unfortunately. He says that the 13GB of photos...

Hello, I need help please. I bought a Portable SSD T7 (Samsung). My old portable hard drives had iPhoto libraries stored on them. The tech support at the store transfered my stored photos onto the new SSD. He knew I used a MacBook and formatted to that effect. My question(s) (and I have tried...

This thread is about how to run software that I own and a newer computer, and the software is associated with an old AppleID but the new computer I have uses a new AppleID. This is not about the merits of the software. I was a die-hard longtime user of iPhoto since its first version, so you...

Hello All, I'm a long-time Mac user, and I had a 2011 (maybe 2012) Mac mini I was using a few years. In early 2018, I upgraded to a new Mac mini. Somewhere in this time, iPhoto became Photos. And then one day, I noticed one series of photos from a single trip I took were missing. Just...

I make a calendar every year for my mom and i used to use iPhoto back in the day to make it with iPhoto. Now what i do is make the calendar in iPhoto in my REALLY old MacBook Pro (2008) and then use the PDF to send to Mimeo to make the calendar. However, my MacBook Pro is SOOOOOOO slow and would...

I have an old 2011 iMac which I need to pass on, but there’s an issue with iPhoto/Photos. The iPhoto library on that old Mac goes back to my original G4 Mac, being transferred to subsequent Macs as I upgraded. However, there was a spanner in the works when Apple replaced iPhoto with Photos. I...

HI! I've recently tried to convert all my photos (155k + many home videos)...taking up around 500GB of Google Photo space. I downloaded and uploaded all the pictures to iCloud from my MacBook and it seems to work fine except for storage on my iPhone. I have Optimize storage switched...

Can i make for eg. the iMac’s iPhoto as the basic collective app for all the pics in all of the devices? Even if i have to do it manually, by using showing Package Contents of...

I am using iTunes for music (large library on external USB drive) and iPhoto (large library on external USB drive),both on my 2017 MBP running Mojave.

I've got an old iPhoto library that I thought I'd merged successfully with my iCloud Photos/Photos on Catalina, but I was mistaken. The iPhoto library is larger than the iCloud Photos, so I've got a thought, and I need to be talked into it or out of it. If I take my current Photos library on...

Hi there! So I've been doing some house keeping of my photo libraries. I've found that about 80% of 'Live Photos' from a roughly 1/2 year period have created their own small 2/4 second video clip alongside the live photo itself. - Ie you've see your selection of photos you can hover over that...

Hi, I faced a weird situation when the address in question being typed into the "To:" field, composing the message within iPhoto app, does not populate it when selected from the dropdown menu, although it auto-completes as soon as I start typing it. At first, I thought this can be a formatting...

Hi All, I have saved my photos from an older work iPhone on an external LaCie Drive under a folder called iCloud Photos. The reason I did it was because they were all sitting in my professional iCloud account and wanted to move them to my personal iCloud account. When I try to import them into...

I know, I'm old school. I still sync photos to my iPhone XS from my Photos library, via iTunes. How else would I get DSLR photos from my Mac to phone? In their proper album? There's no way that I know of. So in iTunes, I go to the iPhone screen, then the photos tab on the left, and check...
