    Can save to folder, can't access that folder

    So I dislike using iPhoto and because of that I started a separate folder for when I cleared photos off my phone using Image Capture. When I open Image Capture it's still set to save images to that location, and will do so when I plug my phone in. However, I cannot access that folder any more. I...

    Photos trying to re upload entire iCloud photo library. Please help!

    Hi all, I recently noticed that Photos (the macOS app) had been stuck on 'Uploading 499 Items' for a few days. Following advice I found on various forums, I unchecked and rechecked the 'iCloud Photos Library' box in Photos preferences. I thought it would resume uploading the same 499 items, but...

    Retrieve Photos from iPhone in Recovery Mode

    So a few days ago I was using my iPhone 6s when it randomly decides to shut down and try to reboot, except it doesn't get past the Apple logo (stays on it for 3-4 minutes, then the screen just goes off). I've been able to get it into Recovery Mode, and have attempted to use ReiBoot to kick it...

    Photos "Edit With" doesn't support RAW

    Unless I'm missing something, in Photos when you try to edit a RAW photo in a third-party app, like Photoshop, by right-clicking on the photo and selecting "Edit with...", it only opens a JPEG version of the file in the third-party app. Bummer. I was hoping to open and edit RAW photos in the...

    What is the easiest way to manually unify my photos, aperture, and iPhoto's libraries?

    Searching through the internet there doesn't seem to be a solution to merge libraries in the Mac Photos app. I now have 3 libraries, aperture, photos, and iPhoto. I just use photos to import stuff so keeping albums and edits aren't a big deal. What would be the easiest way? Find the content...

    Photo library doubled in size after Time Machine restore

    I've been going through multiple issues with iCloud Photo Library (some advice: don't ever use it) and as part of the solution I had to restore my photo library on my iMac from a Time Machine backup. That part worked, and the images are all there to see in the Photos application, but when I look...

    Online photo storage nightmare

    I'm losing it, and have searched for an hour and found no solution. I have a ton of photos in iPhoto which then got migrated to Photos on Sierra. Apple wants a fortune to store photos in iCloud, but Flickr gives me a terabyte of storage for free. I figured, I'll upload everything to Flickr, then...

    iCloud Photos stuck on "downloading"

    I have iCloud Photos on. Sometimes when I go into edit mode on a live photo, or depth photo, a bubble comes up and says "downloading" it will stay at 0% forever. Sometimes I can get it to work if I reboot the phone, but most of the time its just stuck and I can't edit the picture. Anyone else...

    Photos: what is that "persistent sidebar"?

    All the reviews of Photos mention that there is a "persistent sidebar for easier navigation", but without mentioning what exactly is the difference compared to today. Photos for macOS already _has_ a navigation sidebar which is there pretty much all the time, no? I was hoping that they might...
