    iOS Progressively Deletes Or Corrupts Photos Over Time, Eliminating Them From Library, Or Corrupting The Files.

    I have seen throughout the years that my early photos have started disappearing and it has gotten to such a point that I know I had a photo of something, but I look back and it’s gone (I also see blacked-out corrupted photos) but not only is it gone, other photos are obviously gone. The idea...

    What computer should I get

    I’m helping my sister buy a new home computer. She loves photography and takes lots of high resolution photos of wildlife and nature as a hobby. She wants a good computer system that will last her another 6-7 years and that’s not slow. She’s currently getting that spinning beach ball on her 2015...

    Downloading Originals iCloud Photo Library Stuck

    The other day I noticed my Mac Studio had stopped downloading my iCloud Photo Library (about 270GB) originals to the external SSD I have been using since I had my 27 inch iMac.

    System Photo Library on External and unable to eject (new since moving to Sonoma)

    Not sure if this is a Sonoma issue or maybe more of a Photos Widget one... I have a 14" MacBook Pro that is connected to an OWC RAID4 as well as a 2TB external SSD. The photoslibrary has lived on the RAID for years and been fine with ejecting all externals when I take the MacBook to work...

    iPhone Photos app not indexing - search function broken

    I've perused the iOS 17 sub-forum and I took a long look here to find that no one else seems to be having this problem (kind of bummed to see that I'm the only one). I seem to have lost the ability to search my photo library. Used to be that typing "Cat" would bring up all the pictures taken of...

    Sensitive Content Warning

    Neither myself nor my friends have been able to get iOS 17's new Sensitive Content Warning feature to do anything at all. All explicit photos continue to be unblurred even after activating the feature in Privacy Settings. Has anybody actually been able to get it to work? Thanks!
