    Some photos I duplicated are gone

    Hi, I guess you're all aware of the "duplicate" button inside the Photos app on iOS. So recently, I've duplicated a few photos that I really liked to edit those duplicates inside the Photos app (I like to keep several versions of the same photo to be able to compare). However, when I imported...

    Hi there, I've just bought an new iMac 27" and am looking for a better solution to get my Photos library across. Currently my "master" library (the one with all the original photos, metadata, Faces information etc) is on the old iMac. I have very slow internet (especially upload) and this...

    Camera/photos: option to use JPEG instead of HEIF?

    Hi there! I've been an avid Public Beta Tester for a year now and haven't regretted it, sending in dozens of reports. Using iOS 11 as a daily driver scares me away. And in a big way. Simply because I'm taking a lot of photos with my phone and enjoy doing so. Apple's announcement to shift from...

    How to search within favourite photos?

    I want to search the photos on my phone for photos taken in 2016 of a certain person (so far so good) - but only include Favourites. I can search photos taken in 2016 & for a named person (596 results). As soon as I add 'Favourites' to the search, there are 0 results. If I go into the...

    Slideshows in iOS 10 Photos App

    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...

    'Brilliance' missing from Photos

    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...

    Photos App representing space wrong?

    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...

    Getting away from iPhoto/Photos

    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...

    Importing Photos albums from iTunes to iPad won't work anymore?

    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?

    "Taken on this day" Photo Notifications

    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...

    Is a complementary, folder-based photo library an improvement to the iOS photo management?

    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...

    Photos app - some albums showing as grey boxes

    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...

    Memories Discussion

    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.
