When opening photos from iMessage on macOS, it shows a preview, then I have to click "Open With Preview" in the window that shows. Is there a way to merely have it when I open the photo from iMessage it just opens in 'full', i.e. in Preview? So many clicks. Clearly am doing something wrong...

Hi, I've just tried setting this up on both my Mac and iPhone - I specify I want photos of only 3 people included but when I preview the library it includes many photos not within these parameters, including photos of landscapes without anyone in them at all. Is there a known issue with this...

I've got a new Mac and have to temporary offload my pictures on to my Mac before I put them on a NAS or external hard drive. I don't want it on my Mac for longterm storage. I will also backup my NAS or external hard drive to a cloud service (Backblaze?) so everything is safe. My question is...

Just noticed that whilst the photo stream is working between my iPhone and iPad (ie photos from iPhone are appearing in the photo stream on the iPad) for some reason the photos are not being saved into the photos library. I’ve checked through recently deleted (nothing there) but can’t see the...

I currently use my photo's on many different websites. The photo's won't work becuase they are HEIC. I currently have to export the photos out to be able to import them to another program. How can I stop this?? It is too time consuming. I want the photos taken and stored in my. phone to JPEG.

I have an iPhone XR that is not activated on cellular service that i want to basically use as a household shared "iPod Touch" in the living room. I would like to NOT have any of my photos accessible, but even when i turn off Photos in iCloud, they all are still there, and if I go the extra step...

Long story short, the "shared with you" section in my photos app does not show in my new 14 pro max. It is turned on in settings and this phone was backed up directly from my old phone which clearly shows this section in photos and has the higher photo count that is correct. Apple has been no...

Hi. I have a MacBook Air M2, and yesterday when I sat down with my Mac to do some work, the Photos-app wouldn't open. I just opens and shuts down in less than a second, and I get a long bug report. Any idea how to fix this?

Photos library on external SD does not open after edject / reinsert. #ihateventuramightmaketheeffortandgobackto12.x

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 am unable to create a shared album on macOS (Ventura) or iOS (16) and set it to "Public". On macOS, clicking on the "People" button brings up the menu showing "Subscribers Can Post", "Public Website", and "Notifications". I don't really want to use subscribers at all, or notifications, i...

I’ve been importing thousands of photos and videos into a new Photos library on my HDD. Due to slowness, I decided to move the library to a SSD. I stopped the transfer of any media, then attempted to eject the HDD. It wouldn’t eject, so I force ejected it through macOS. I plugged it back in and...

I wasn't planning to upgrade to macOS Ventura yet, I was waiting for v13.1, but yesterday I was forced to. After I installed the latest Monterey minor update from v12.6 to v12.6.1 my MBP became unstable and started getting kernel panics like crazy. It is the first time I have experienced this...

I use iCloud to sync my photos and videos across devices as well as serve as a short-term backup. I don’t want to use iCloud as a long-term backup, however. I like to keep my iCloud library small as I’ve found that Photos runs much more efficiently than hosting my entire vast library. So, I...

Someone on instagram said they could access my phone and all its content. They then proceeded to post photos that were only on my phone. Some of me and my then gf. Nobody has access to my iphone at home. I dont even have photos on icloud. Could this all be my ex gf or could I have been hacked?

Hi! Trying to look through the old posts but I cannot seem to get a clear grasp of if I'm doing something wrong or if there are other ways of solving some missing features in the new shared library. Perhaps a new thread to gather the discussion around shared library and how it's working out for...

I am having an issue with importing photos from my iPhone to my Mac. The app shows that the import was successful, but when I go to the imported section none of the photos are there and they are never actually copied into the library. I looked at the console and I get this PHPhotosErrorDomain...

My wife’s new 14 Pro Max only shows photos from Sept 9 forward. Her Air and icloud account both show 20,000 or so photos in her library. How can I force the Photos app to show them all on her new phone?

One of my favorite features is the photos app and how it automatically generates memories based on date, location, people. But when are we getting the weather as meta data too? ☀️ Wouldn't it be great if you could say: Show me all pictures on a hot / sunny day, show me all pictures on a rainy...

The Actions menu no longer has the ability to “Duplicate” a photo, after upgrading to iOS 16. Did this happen to you also? I certainly hope it returns in a bug fix, because it is an essential part of my photos workflow: I always edit the duplicated photo, to keep the original untouched. This...
