    iPhone Duplicates in Photos Imports folder and Albums?

    I have 200 GB iCloud which is full. Most of it is images and videos, so I try do a bit of cleaning. I have 18000 images in total and 8000 in Imports. If I delete an image from imports it will be deleted from All Photos. But it seems if images are imported and moved to an album they will not be...

    iPhone Storage indicator wrong?

    Hi, yesterday I realized a strange behavior of my iPhone and I am not sure if this is intentional or a bug. I did some google research but couldn't find anything. I am right now on vacation and I take a lot of videos on my iPhone (64GB), naturally videos take up a lot of space. Thats why I...

    Photos app automatically merging two separate people

    I want to know if anyone else has seen this bug. Also, I did submit a bug report to apple, but I do not expect that to go anywhere... In the photos app I have my father's person/face defined and my son's person/face defined. I connected each of them to the contact I have for each. The contacts...

    Trouble migrating Photos library

    I know that, in theory, one can just drag the photos library to an external disk (just dragging across the Photos package). Photos is running fine on my Mac but it has gotten too large and I need to move it. When I try to do so I get a -43 error and it won't copy. This is on OS X 10.10.5...

    Replacing image files in Photos

    So for some reason years ago when I was exporting my RAW files to jpeg's, I decided to do them at varying lower resolutions since displays were not capable of much higher. Now I would like to export full resolution files. I have been doing faces and tagging in the Photos/iCloud photos. Is...

    iPhone X Photos taken don’t show up in camera roll anymore

    Today we took some photos with my iPhone X. When looking back, I can’t find them in the camera roll/Photos app. I could see them however via the camera app. But after a while they were gone there too. There is one photo left that I can see in the Photos app via Photos -> Years -> Places, but the...

    Storing/managing photos on multiple Macs

    Hi all. I recently bought an MBP in addition to my previous iMac. Having both is great, but it has been quite tricky to manage my files between the two computers. Of interest, I have not found a good way to manage my photos. Previous (when I was only using iMac), I used Photos to store and...

    Photos App 'Set Desktop Picture' - degrades quality

    If I set a photo as a background image from the Photos App, the quality is degraded. For eg. a super high quality 5000x3000 13MB gradient image looks color banded when done in this way. But if it's set a background image from the file itself in Finder, it's perfect. What am I doing wrong here...

    iCloud Photo Library Sync Broken

    I have a Photos.app photo library on my Mac which is about 178GB. I had this successfully synced with iCloud until a couple of months back when it stopped syncing properly. To fix this, I tried disabling iCloud Photo Library (on all my devices), but rather than delete all the photos from my...

    Photo chaos - ludicrous, exciting, unnerving!

    Could somebody please shed some light on these matters... About 3-4 years ago my photos went berzerk. I'm not exactly sure, when it happened, but in any case I didn't have any appropriate hard drive backup with which I could have fixed this problem. I mean I had some, but they didn't help in...

    Migrating from iPhoto to... what?

    I have an iPhoto library that contains about 65,000 images. I rely heavily on iPhoto's proprietary features, and have been since I started using the first version of iPhoto when Apple released it well over a decade ago. Apple's concept of a well-designed "digital shoebox" has proven itself...

    Photos app/VTEncoderXPCService severely slows down my Mac

    Hi ;) Is anyone else seeing performance issues with the Photos app in High Sierra? My Mac is so slow when the Photos app is open, that I nearly can't use it. All the face detection and syncing of the 5000 pics in my iCloud Library is over and done. I've set the format to the new size saving...

    Resolved iOS 11 GM - How to add people to "People" album in Photos app

    Has anyone figured out how to ADD new people to the "People" album in the Photos app? I've let it run with the power connected to the point where I no longer get the "Scanning photos.." message at the bottom. But for the life of me I can't figure out how to add new people to this album.

    My iPhone Camera Roll has over 70,000 pics/vids that were somehow synced from my Photos app. Mind you this phone is only 64GB. Hell no it can fit all those files in there. I don't know how or why it took all my pics and vids from my Photos app from my iMac, but it definitely slows down my phone...

    This is a question to everyone that has deployed iOS11 beta. My concern is that Faces may sync during the beta period but then need to resync after full release. Also, does anyone know how iCloud handles Face syncing when consolidating from photos tagged on different devices? Does it act...
