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...
So ever since I got my iPhone 15 Pro, ONLY photos taken by me and my iPhone are organized correctly (once imported to PC and put in a specific folder then put back on my iPhone). Photos and videos sent by people (even with iPhones), and even videos that I shoot, are ordered by the date they were...
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...
I had a shared photo album with thousands of pictures and videos shared by multiple people. One day, it stopped working - dropped all the collaborators, and the videos gave an error and could not be played back; they also cannot be shared to a different album or exported. The album does not...
Hi Everybody!
I have a very frustrating issue with photos app! I am trying to edit the RAW photos with the built in Photos app, and if i open the photo for editing there will be a black line in tghe 1/4-th of the image! If i am trying to export the unmodified original, the problem stands there...
Has this happened to anyone? My Photos app suddenly started freezing. I can open the app, see the Photos home screen, scroll up and down, but the moment I click on any photo or the search bar it freezes. Volume still works and I can force quit it.
My only workaround right now is to go to the...
Does anyone have a Pixel (or other Android suppose), but still use Mac, and have iCloud Photo library?
I currently have an iPhone, Mac, iPad, subscribe to iCloud 2Tb, and have all my pics and video (over 1Tb), synced using Mac Photos and iCloud photo library. I'd like to stick with this, as...
Hello
Basically what the title says.
I am looking at a picture in Library > All Photos and trying to find a way to know which albums it has been saved in. Is this possible without looking through each album individually? This would be very cumbersome.
I am using Apple Photos in macOS Sonoma...
Hi all
I just downloaded/saved a whole bunch of photos that were sent via Messages over the past couple of years. After saving them to Photos, they all show the date when they were downloaded, not the date when they were taken.
Is there any way to order them by the date they were taken?
Instead of storing all my media solely on iCloud, I regularly move my iPhone photos and videos to the Photos app on my Mac. If I have optimized storage activated, which replaces full-resolution media with smaller versions, I wonder if the transfer retrieves the originals from iCloud or the...
I realize I may be looking for something that doesn't exist, but figured I'd check in with y'all and see if anyone has stumbled across this...
I have a TON of clip art/stock photos that I bought a number of years ago. Like, 100 GB worth.
I would love to find an app that would ingest all of...
Hi all, I've purchased a second hand 2020 M1 Air for a roadtrip.
Its the base model with only 256gb of storage.
I had hoped to reduce my photos library footprint by ticking the 'Optimise Mac Storage' option, in photos/settings, rather than 'Download originals the this Mac'
My 80gb photos...
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...
Hey guys, what I want to do is to merge two sets of photos on two different phones with two different iCloud accounts, keeping all the albums, favourites and edits. After googling, this is the solution I've found. Would appreciate it if someone can confirm this.
iPhone A is the target phone I...
My wife and I both have our own iCloud accounts, though part of a family account. She has her own Photos and I have my own Photos. Is there any way to see/view/edit them on the same computer?
In other words, can I have two iCloud photo libraries that I can view and work with on the same computer?
Mine and my partner's Photos libraries are each around 350GB in size. Because I am downgrading my iCloud storage, I want to export all the downloaded originals from Photos to an external drive. ('Download Originals to this Mac' is selected in Photos settings). The library files are already...
I’ve got an old external hard drive containing photos from my 2010 android phone and my 2013 Samsung phone. The photos are contained in ten different directories and there are duplicates.
I know that Photos for a Mac has a feature that helps identify and delete duplicate photos. However...
Have any of you guys had this problem? I have 22,199 photos on my phone.. but icloud shows there are only 22,177.. so there’s a missing 22 more photos..
I’ve tried constantly hitting sync under settings/icloud/photos but so far that hasn’t worked. Just recently signed up to a bigger plan btw...
I just bought a 2TB SSD to move both mine and my partner's Photos libraries to. I will choose the 'Download Originals' option within both libraries, as I eventually want to stop using iCloud to store our photos and move to either Carbon Copy Cloner or Time Machine to back up the originals. Each...
So suppose I get a new iPhone 15 right before I go abroad on holiday for a few weeks.
My old iPhone that I've used for everything over the years is a 2016 SE, and I take it with me, using it for everything I've always used it for.
I'd prefer to transfer everything on that SE to my brand new...
