    Problems with Photos app functionality

    I like most of the changes to the new Photos app, but I've run into a few problems with my workflow. They all apply to the Mac version as well. 1. "Recently Viewed". There should be a way to disable this. Or at least clear the history. It's a privacy issue. 2. Slideshows. There no longer...

    Photos App on iPad/iOS 18 Stutters

    Really poor experience when using the new Photos app, the side menu stutters and jumps when you click through Albums. The stutter seems to affect the device for a short while after minimising/closing the app. Poor layout and unnecessary side bar entries which cannot be removed or edited...

    Apple's "Photos" App freezes up intermittently

    Why is Apple's "Photos" App freezing up on my Mac Mini M2, 24gb RAM with Sonoma 14.6.1? This just started a couple of weeks ago. I had to force quit the first time. Tonight it froze again. I was able to close it. I opened it again and it froze again, but only for a moment. ~gwd

    Apple photos-RAW files

    Hello all. I haven't found my answer on the web so I'll try here and see if anyone knows. I imported a bunch of RAW files in my photo library and I would like to export them as RAW to edit them in my photo edit app. Apple photos do not let you export them as RAW. Is there a reason? How can I...

    Photos app creates green bands in JPEG/TIFF exports of HEIC images from iPhone.

    When I now export HEIC picture on my Intel Macbook running Monterey to JEPG or TIIFF, I get strange green bands in the lower half of the image. I attach a sample export at the bottom of this post. What can I do about this? Is this a Monterey thing? Or a Intel Mac thing? Can I use another tool...

    Resolved missing photos in Family Sharing

    I’m having a small issue with Family Sharing in my iMac’s Photos app, and hope someone can help me get it sorted. The problem is that, in my user account, Family Sharing shows only the photos that have been shared since getting the Mac a few months ago. However, in my wife’s account everything...

    makelive: Convert non-iPhone photos/videos to Live Photo pairs

    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...

    Photos app loses connection to library

    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...

    Photos app slow to save edits to ‘Live Portraits’

    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...

    iCloud, Music and Photos

    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...

    Downloading Originals iCloud Photo Library Stuck

    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...

    iPhone 15 Pro Max Very sadly returning - so many issues, it's like a beta phone

    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...

    Photo won't send - stuck 'Preparing'

    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...

    MP 1,1-5,1 OCLP 6.8: Photos.app - "Unsupported Video Format" for iPhone 12 video

    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...

    Photos: "Download Originals to this Mac"

    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...
