    My Apple Watch counts 15 photos but I don't have any synchronized

    I have seen in the Apple community that there are reports that this has been happening for many years, has Apple still not solved it? Does it happen to anyone else? Is there a solution?

    Hello, I updated my Mac to sequoia and my phone to iOS 18. When I import my photos off my phone using image capture it appears that there are a lot more files generated than normal. When I took a video on iOS 17 and the past version of macOS and tapped the white circle on my phone to take a...

    iPhone Shortcut to save photos to a specific album?

    I’ve just started a trial of the Halide photo app. I’m trying to figure out how photos I take with it can automatically be added to an album which I’ve called ‘Halide’ in the Photos app. I’m sure there’s probably a way of doing this with Shortcuts, but I’ve absolutely no idea how. Can anyone...

    Merging Multiple Photos Databases (External + iCloud)

    I am sure a variation of this request has come up in the past but since software and hardware change so fast, I thought I'd try to be concise and break it down as best as possible. The problem is: I have 2 Photos databases - one is on an external HD and the other is on my Mac Studio/iPhone/iPad...

    Trouble importing photos into Photos

    I've been trying to import photos into Photos and there are a bunch for which I get an "unknown error" when I try to import them. It's always the same photos, so I don't think it's an error like a bad cable. It happens whether I am trying to import directly from the SD card or from a separate...

    When importing photos, will Apple Photos alert me if I am importing photos that I already have?

    I recently came back from a big trip and am trying to import all of my photos. Unfortunately, I've had some hang ups in the importing process where there would be an error and the downloading would stop. If I re-download or find a different way to get the photos into Apple Photos, will there be...

    I’ve been having a nasty bug since Beta 1 - Occasionally, when I take/screenshot/save a photo or video, it ends up being duplicated thousands of times and my phone gets incredibly hot and the battery drains crazy quickly. It’s very annoying, but I absolutely understand bugs are part of the...

    Why does iOS store videos so inefficiently?

    Hi, So even accounting for 60FPS 4K HDR, which I of course know is a lot of information, the files are still huge. They are .mov instead of .mp4 containers for one (does that matter?). When I export one unchanged and inspect it using ffmpeg, the video stream is in the order of 50,000-90,000...

    New Photos App

    With the new photos app in iOS 18, is it possible to share your entire photos library with a family member? That was one of my favorite features of Google Photos, being able to share access to all my photos to my wife. The only thing I’ve ever seen is a shared “library”, which isn’t exactly the...
