photos app

hello all I recently had to re install macOS Sierra on my Mac before the new installation my Photos Library was stored in iCloud on iCloud System Preferences I can see it takes roughly 110 gb of space now on my freshly installed Mac , I chose the Photos library on my drive and tried to turn on...

I have an iPod Touch purchased last August. How can I turn off the unwanted music that plays during a slideshow? I take nature videos and would like to hear the recorded natural sounds. I sure miss the ease of doing simple slideshows, with or without music, on my (much) older devices. You...

Hi all, i've often found it annoying when editing photos on my iphone 5s as the Photos app doesn't match the MacOS version. Specifically I'm referring to the 'Brilliance' adjustment setting in 'Light' options. Searching on google it shows this is a setting that should be there on the iOS...

Hello all, I have a question about my Photos library and the amount of space it is taking up. According to my About this Mac panel I have around 66GB of photos on my internal SSD drive, Athena. However, that is the same size as my photos library that is on an external HDD named Odin according...

I have a MacBook Air running 10.12.1 Sierra. Loaded a lot of photos into Photos app. When I scroll through them full size, using the arrow keys, some of the photos look blurry UNTIL photoI zoom in and then zoom out - then it's clear and sharp. It's a problem because I'm going through them...

I am relatively new to Mac and I would like to know my options for backing up my photos on my Macbook Pro (from the PHOTOS app to an external drive etc) I know about Time Machine and use it, and I know you can drag my WHOLE Photos library to an external drive (and I do that too but what about...

Hi, I have a new iMac and want to move my photos library from an external drive to the iMac. Is there a simple way to do this? At the moment I am in progress of switching libraries to the one on the external drive, so the library is updating. Thanks for any help! Lisa

Does anyone know if there is a way to export all my pictures out of Photos without losing the metadata, like the date taken? I know I can export the unmodified originals but I'd rather not lose all of the edits I've made over the years. According to Apple support, there may be some other piece...

I use Photos (OS X) to keep my comics library organized and read them on my iPad mini using Photos (iOS). After iOS10, iTunes downloads my photos to my Photos app (iPad) from my Photos app (OS X), but the albums don't show. Any advice?

I hope this is posted in the right place. I'm a fan of Facebook's "memories" or "taken on this day" photo notifications where it'll show a photo you've posted x number of years ago. It's a really great use of photos posted, I think. Instead of never seeing them again, you see them every year on...

This may sound like an app promotion at a first glance but it's a real question. In my startup we developed an app called Utiful that is a complementary photo library for mobile devices (available for iOS and Android). It allows for easy and fast organization of photos into folders, and this...

Hi all, I've recently updated my iMac with a new SSD - and to start it fresh, I decided to do a clean install of El Capitan on here. I previously had Mavericks, together with iPhoto - but as I've just noticed, iPhoto has been fazed out, and I'm now equipped with Photos. I keep a Time Machine...

I take all my photos with iPhone and DSLR. All photos move to my iPad/Mac over iCloud synchronizing or importing (Lightning SD Card). This works very well. As a next step, i tag the best pictures as "favorites". But how to delete all the untagged "non-favorite" photos? In the iOS Photos App...

There has been a little talk here and there about the new Memories feature, and I was curious to hear about other people's experiences with it so far. I think it's a great addition to the Photos app, and the instant content creation is a great tool for the average consumer that either doesn't...

Been using iCloud Photo Library for awhile now... Upgraded to the 1TB plan a few months ago as I had gone over 200GB. I've been using "Optimize Storage" on all devices for awhile but stopped trusting Apple so much and decided I should have a good local copies well. I set up Photos on another...

Are these two the same concept but re-branded and resold under a new moniker? And if so, has anyone found that their existing Faces that they've spent so much time categorizing gets carried over to the People part of the new MacOS/iOS systems? I'm sorting out People now on my iPhone and it is an...

I'm having a frustrating time organizing my Photos library. I have two Macs. An iMac for work (photo editing) and a MacBook for play. I want the ability to browse my iCloud Photo Library on my iMac without it downloading every single photo in my library. There is the "Optimize Mac Storage"...

Hi all as a new switcher to mac (macbook pro 13") from my full on gaming pc 4k bells and whistles,i am having real issues with "photos" app . I have a external drive with all my photos on from my pc some 300gb but when i import them to photos i get a file called photo library and its only 172gb...

I have just switched to a Macbook from using Windows all my life and all of that intuitive stuff is no longer of any use to me! The Mac OS is SO different :( All I want to know is how to open a photo in Photoshop directly from the "Photo" app. For the life of me I can't work out how to do it...

I have numerous videos that I have shot with my iPad. I have backed up the videos on my Mac, and have deleted some of them from my iPad. I cannot figure out how to get these videos back onto my iPad. I can view them on my Mac in the Photos app, but cannot sync them to my iPad. Any ideas...
