photos app

I'm running macOS Monterey. Is there a way to extract GPS coordinates from photos on macOS's Photos?

Apple Live Photos are a pair of a still image (.JPEG or .HEIC) and a video file (.MOV). Non-Apple phones can generate these same types of images but when importing to Photos, they won't be associated together as a Live Photo pair and will be imported as separate images. Live Photos have a...

I have my main Photos library on an external SSD, and it works fine except for one thing: from time to time, perhaps once a month, it suddenly does not „see“ the library any more. When I restart Photos, it says the library is used by another program and I should chose another library which is...

I have noticed that the Photos app in iOS 17 thus far has been very slow indeed at saving/applying edits to ‘live’ photos with 'portrait' mode applied on a 15 Pro Max. Feels like a budget phone in this regard. A fix likely requires quite a lot of rewriting/rearchitecting within the Photos...

Hello and thanks in advance for any help. I am faced with two different situations where I wish to upgrade/migrate an existing iPhoto library to Photos.app, and I'd like some advice on best practices before I proceed. SCENARIO ONE This one is the more straightforward of the two. On the...

I really want to clean my iMac, as the 1tb drive is 3/4 full. All my music (all 23,000 songs) are in the cloud, as are all my photos. I want to delete the files off my HD, but I am not sure how to do that without losing anything. I would also like to make safety copies onto externals. Is...

The other day I noticed my Mac Studio had stopped downloading my iCloud Photo Library (about 270GB) originals to the external SSD I have been using since I had my 27 inch iMac. I figured the issue was that it was because I recently started using Plex to share a few video files from it. I decided...

I actually really love my new iPhone 15 Pro Max - the new photo capabilities and lighter design have me won over...I really want to keep it and use it as my actual phone. After a week of use though I think the software, from my experience, is a buggy mess which has spoiled the user experience...

FB13210816 I have a bad bug with iOS 17.0.2 on the iPhone 15 Pro Max. This occurs quite often and I have tried to resolve it by doing a fresh install of iOS, not using my iCloud backup. This doesn't fix it though. A lot of the time, when I go to send a photo from the Photos app to someone via...

I have been working with Apple Support since June 24. When dragged into the Project timeline it a) comes over black, b) has a red banner message about missing remote data, c) come over in a very very low resolution and d, once in a blue moon come over as expected. This is the same set up that...

I've installed Ventura 13.5 on my cMP 5,1 using Open Core Legacy Patcher 0.6.8. Things are working well except for the videos I took with my iPhone 12 Mini. In Photos, they'll play, but there's an exclamation triangle in the upper left corner. When I click on it, it shows an error dialog that...

HI there, I'm a long-time photographer and usually pretty savvy with DAMs (used Aperture for years), however I just cannot wrap my head around the way Apple Photos integrates with iCloud. I'm not an Apple Photos user, but my wife is. She has over 50,000 photos uploaded to iCloud photos, with...

I am looking for help/advice on how to deal with a low storage issue. I have a MacBook Air with only a 128 GB SDD and need to update to a newer version of MacOS. I have deleted everything I possibly can but still don't have enough space on the HDD. However, the Photos App is using 14.17 GB of...

I'm the author of the free open source tool osxphotos which has been mentioned before in the MacRumors Forums. I've released a new version today that includes a couple of features members of this forum might find useful: batch-edit command to perform batch edits of metadata including...

I would like to move the data from these 2 apps to a NAS, which presents it to the LAN as a SMB share. To regularly and conveniently use these apps from my (only) MacBook Air laptop without having to be physically tethered to a USB device... Photos - to be able to simplify the syncing of photos...

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 went on a two week trip and took lots of pictures using my iPhone 11 Pro running iOS 15.5. When I look at the photos during this trip the map information does not show (see gray section on included screen capture). It shows in text the location of the photo but no map data. I did not change...

I haven't used Photos in a while but after a wedding I imported some new content and then some questions came up. I now make backup of my system with Time Machine to my NAS. Is this enough or should I do something else to keep an extra backup of the images? (Never used the recover-function so...

Do you know if it is possible to access a raw image (saved from Procam app) in Photos app on an Iphone ? Photos app shows Jpeg + Raw in upper left corner when I tap on the image, however only Jpeg version is displayed.

Since Sunday I'm in a lot of trouble with Photos: I wanted to try a program that doesn't work on Mojave, but it has been updated on Big Sur that I have installed on an external disk and it's fast ..too fast 😟 . I needed a photo and without thinking I launched the Photo library I use lately...
