    iPhone 5S wiped photos, but memory full?

    So last night I tried to backup my iPhone 5S onto iTunes. My phone crashed, was stuck on the Apple logo, so I spent all night updating the software to the new iOS with it in safety mode. When it finally came back on, I could get into my phone but everything was very slow and clunky. This...

    Photos on Passport

    I so hope someone can help me. Last year I bought a My Passport for Mac. I just wanted it to save my pictures to.

    Can the Photo's library be moved to a NAS drive?

    My MacBook Pro 250GB SSD is full and its mostly photos and videos. Is it possible to point the Photo's app to store its library on a NAS drive? This would release 3/4 of my local Mac storage and still allow me to use the Photo's app as my interface which I like.

    Automatic Import of Photos from iPhone to Mac (Photostream?)

    Hi guys, I've always kept a copy of all my photos locally on my Mac. But lately, have been relying on automatic uploads to Google Photos, which houses my 200GB+ photo library.
