    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...

    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!

    Auto sync new iPhone photos to Mac Photos Library

    Until recently when I opened the Library in Photos on my Mac, new photos that I'd taken on my iPhone would appear there if my phone was connected to my home wifi. I seem to remember an iOS setting way back to do it, but I can't find it anymore. It's been working since I had my M1 Max MBP 16in...
