• Facebook cannot access the photo library

  When I try (on a Macbook Pro) 'create album' or 'add photos' on the women's FB page, I can see, but cannot access its photo library.  Why?  I can, however, access the photos directory - unfortunately, uses Photo pictures are not stored there.   Apple told me that they no longer support iPhoto, but were instead switching to 'Photos '.  So that's where all the images are imported from the camera.  WTH?  It shouldn't be this difficult.

  When you use a web browser or any other application that uses the media browser, you can access your own library of Photos of system, but not of other libraries of Photos.  Only libraries can be designated as the library of the system at the same time.

  The photo library of the system will be available from the sidebar of the selector Panel of file like this:

  

• Cannot repair the photo library. The best way to restore from iCloud library?

  The photo library of the system is damaged and cannot be repaired.

  It is said "Photos has attempted to repair the library"Pictures Library 2015 ", but can not open it." .

  
  

  I first met problems with this library a week before and at the time where I could repair and open the library successfully, but lacked a month value of photos.

  Given that it was successfully in the iCloud library, I left it to re - sync - but this process suspended several times before the end, and the photo library of the system now seems to be permanently damaged.

  I have no project of marked or impression of faces in the photo library of the system, then I would be happy just to restore from iCloud.

  My plan is to put in place a new - empty - library and then that designate the library of the system.

  If I understand this right, the new (empty) system Photo library will now resynchronize with iCloud and will copy all the contents of this library of back to my Mac.

  Is this correct? It is the most effective way to restore my library?

  And while I'm here - what is the best way to manage a very large library? I had my photo library become corrupted ten three or four times over the past years and have found it necessary to divide into single years to prevent this. I overlooked this piece of household by the end of 2015, and now it's happened again... Surely, there must be an easier way to manage libraries of images of several years?

  Is this correct? It is the most effective way to restore my library?

  Yes, if you don't have a useful upward on your Mac.

  How do you call a large library, I've never had a corrupt Library, I think that your problems are not the result of the size of the library, but rather something else. From my experience it is recommended to maintain a local upward, I use Time machine, but also have a second to the top using a third-party backup solution.

• Cannot transfer iPhoto Photo Library - unless the external is plugged.

  Hello

  Before I got my new Macbook Pro today, I copied my iPhoto library on my external hard drive. This library will be important and open the pictures, the new application, ONLY if the external hard drive is plugged - I even tried to copy the old library, iPhoto to my office and open Photos manually, but it will not be read. Is what it means I need to copy my iPhoto images one by one in the new application Photos?

  Thank you!

  I should add here that, once the hard drive is disconnected and I try to open the old library still in Photos, he search the hard drive and is unable to find it. It seems that I can't fix my iPhoto library original as my default photo library.

• photos of start-up cannot find system photo library

  I saw this question in a number of other messages, but I don't see any solution.   When I boot my MacBook Pro and then try opening the pictures, I get the "pictures don't find the photo library of the system".   I am running 10.11.4 but this has happened to several levels of patch El Capitan.   Like other messages, my photo library is on an external hard drive.   The EHD are connected via eSATA.   But I can connect the hard drive via USB as well, and that does make a difference.

  

  When I click on 'open other... '. "I get an empty list.

  

  By clicking on "other library...". "and to my DHM, I can then find my library of Photos and select it.   From there until I restart again, I can close and reopen the Photos without problem.   My library is designated as the library of the system preferences.   I can see my iCloud files box, which also indicates it's photo library system because you can not activate iCloud, sharing photos otherwise.

  I tried to add an alias to the folder of images on my internal drive pointing to the library on my DHM.   But that did not fix the problem.  In the past I would have thought that the alias will appear in the list, choose library.   I did a repair using command + Option keys at startup.   There was no difference after that.  I do not have a list of everything I tried, so I can't put one here.

  Try the following:

  1 - Go to your Home/Library/container folder and move the file com.apple.Photos on the desktop.

  

  2 reboot

  3 launch Photos with down option, and then select the library.

  4 - Close and reopen the Photos to see if she remembers the location.

  5 remove the folder from the desktop as it will be rebuilt as you continue to use the Photos.

  

• Cannot reactive iCloud photo library - think all my images are new

  For some reason any my iCloud library got turned off on my mac.

  Now I can't get back on even if I only shot more than 4 photos on my iPhone.

  Reason: My Mac thinks that all the images stored in the cloud do not correspond to those in the photos app.

  That of why the two guests would be to upgrade my iCloud to 1 TB storage and also told my that I don't have enough space on my mac.

  What can I do about it?

  All download upwards is no choice I have 120 GB of images in the cloud.

  Thanks for you help guys!

  All download upwards is no choice I have 120 GB of images in the cloud.

  That is good.  When you enable iCloud library once again, or after you have moved a library, restore it from a backup, or simply fix it, the Mac will be to download it again. That cannot be avoided.

  But while downloading Photos will compare the pictures to be uploaded photos already in iCloud and essentially merge in the existing library in iCloud. If enough iCloud before storage, make a return current copy of your library and go ahead with the download.

  I had to do the same after that I needed to fix the library and move it to another drive. Photos warned that the amount of storage iCloud is not enough, but let me still allow iCloud, and it worked. No duplicates in iCloud.

• How to display a photo library?

  When I fist started Windows 8 on my laptop after the upgrade, I noticed that Photos in the start menu tile showed images at random, including the personal that I thought were inappropriate for work (photos of family, children make faces, etc.) While I quickly learned that I could disable "live tiles" but I've always wanted to see pictures of the other directories, photos and sources such as facebook and skydrive. So I hid the main (local photos) photo album. I don't remember what we called the album but it was on the left. When you clicked on the pictures tile on the start screen.
  Now, I have two problems:

  One, I can't find a way to unmask the album or at least recreate it?

  Two, even if I hid it, when I click on "Live Tiles One turn" once again, I always see pictures of the hidden/missing album that I can't access into actually clicking on the pictures tile on the start screen. I didn't uninstall (and reinstall if possible), because I have no way of knowing if this will fix my problem or potentially just deletes the photos.

  (I know where the photos are in the Solution Explorer, but it of as if I deleted the album that was created from them and the only way to see them is via the Explorer, not the tiles who now doesn't give me access to Facebook, Skydrive, Flikr and peripheral).

  1. Clicking on the tile of the App Store on the start screen
  2. Right click above to access 'down '.
  3. Chose "your Apps".
  4. Click the arrow in the selection box down
  5. Choose "All Apps"
  6. Click on "Photos" app tile (kind of tile has been exposed in green with small white arrow appeared in the upper-right of the tile).
  7. At the bottom of the screen, I chose to uninstall *.
  8. I restarted my computer.
  9. Returned to the App Store
  10. Right clicked to bring 'down '.
  11. Chose "your Apps".
  12. Click the arrow in the selection box down
  13. Choose "All Apps"
  14. Click on "Photos" app tile (kind of tile has been exposed in green with small white arrow appeared in the upper-right of the tile).
  15. At the bottom of the screen, I chose to install.

  Everything has been fixed, (the library returned.)

  * I noticed that after having reinstalled the Photo app, 'Uninstall' was no longer available. So all I can understand is that something in the operating system recognizes the app like uninstall "incomplete" and allowed to be available.

• Organization of photo library

  Hello

  I am in the process by putting my main workstation to Windows to Mac. I have a pretty big photo archive (110 GB), that I always organized in the folders as I want - year, photo taken months and I use Bridge and Photoshop for editing (cloud Creative). I really _want_ to take photos but I understand Photos on import organizes all the pictures of the Photoslibrary in folders by date imported. That makes me hesitate. I don't understand. Have tried Googling and Youtubing, but cannot decide what to do. My biggest concern is that if I want to return to using Bridge and Photoshop as my main workflow I'd on the photos in Finder folders organized by photographing year/month - is it possible to export all the photos in the photo library in Finder folders organized by photo date taken?

  Of course, another option is to use the photos without copy photos in the photo library. Is this a bad alternative? Is there any feature that I miss with the option?

  Help a total newbie on Mac out. I'm so confused.

  Pictures displays your photo library in two different views:

  1. The sight of Photos show you the photos organized by "Moments." A Moment is a group of photos taken on the same day in the same place.  The times appear firstly by capture date, oldest chronlogically.  You can change the display of the Moments to a view of collections or year for large groups of photos.  Collections are grouping related moments, so you will find pictures of holidays in a collection. The title of the collections and the moments will show catpture date and location, if your photos are tagged with GPS. I mainly use this view to access my photos to the capture date.  Collections and the 'Moments', years are saving me a lot of work, since the consolidation is carried out fully automatically.  I don't have to create folders named by date ranges and places on my own.
  2. The photos in the album 'Pictures' is sort by the date you imported, so that you can easily access the most recent import.

  And Yes, you can export your photos in folders named by date.  Among the export options is the subfolder option "name of the Moment."

  The Masters folder inside the photo library contains the original images, if you copy photos in the library, but it is not intended as a means to access pictures.  Always use the GUI of photos recover photos and pass them to external publishers.  To edit a photo in photoshop, you open the photo in edit mode and run the extension of "External editors" photo editing and select Photoshop as editor.

  Of course, another option is to use the photos without copy photos in the photo library. Is this a bad alternative? Is there any feature that I miss with the option?

  Photos will work this way, but you cannot use iCloud photo library.

  Also, this is not well supported to use the pictures in this way.  Photos has no tools to reconnect the pictures referenced quickly, if you must move the photos to another drive. or if you restore a backup photos, because the leaning reader operation.  You will have a lot of work, if you need to replace your drive with the library or move it to a new computer.  So I can't really recommend.  If you want to manage your photos from the Finder, do not use the Photos for Mac application.

  I prefer to have mage Photos my photos, because it is easy to create albums of the purpose FRO specific to search for photos: the date of capture one titles and legends, the names of the people in the photos, the name of the scene.

  But it is to you, how you want to organize your Photos.  You can use a Mac without the help of pictures.

  If you like Adobe software, why not use Lightroom?  It supports the referenced pictures and integrates well with Photoshop.

• iMovie and photo library

  How can I open my of Foto-photoslibrary in iMovie (10.2.2 It is gray and I cannot import into iMovie.

  You do not import the photo library in iMovie. iMovie automatically displays the photo library. When you say that it is grey, I assume you mean in the preferences of Photos. This means that it is the library system, which is what you want. If you don't see the photo library in the library list in iMovie try opening the pictures before you launch iMovie.

• What does the option "copy photos to the photo library?

  I explore this now app Photos (worst name ever) and I wanted to import photos in Photos. The problem for me is I want to let the pictures where they already are. I'm not interested in a database or the system that hides the pictures of me in the finder. I want to be able to right click and reveal in finder - "export image" is a terrible choice.

  So, I see an option to check in the preferences. It reads: "Copy pictures to the photo library" but has no explanation as to what that means or does. This is what it will move my photos if I select copy? (their disappearance from the original file)? It will resume photos - clutter up my drive? If we make a copy and I update the original in Photoshop - it will reflect this change in the Photo?

  So many questions and I can not find an answer to any place. Even the help files had nothing that I could find.

  It reads: "Copy pictures to the photo library" but has no explanation as to what that means or does. This is what it will move my photos if I select copy? (their disappearance from the original file)? It will resume photos - clutter up my drive? If we make a copy and I update the original in Photoshop - it will reflect this change in the Photo?

  Default is 'Copy photos to the photo library' enabled.  Then the pictures will do exactly that. Any Photo that you import pictures is copied in the photo library and managed by pictures. You can remove the original outside the library after you have verified that it imported properly.

  If you disable the option, pictures reference the file in its original location and does not copy it.

  This configuration is not recommended because you have to manage photos on your own. If you delete photos of Photos, you must delete the original outside yourself. You cannot use iCloud photo library with referenced files and if dot nee restore you from a backup library will need films to another drive, you will need to manually reconnect all originals. It is subject to errors.

  If we make a copy and I update the original in Photoshop - it will reflect this change in the Photo?

  It will not work. Two Photos will ignore changes to Photosho or lose the connection to the original file. To use an external editor in pictures use extensions to change Photos photo editing panel. Let the pics to send the original to the external editor.

  This help page explains how the import options work:

  The left pane is a "choose one". "All photos" are just that. 'G' is a different option.

  Lightroom is not a file Explorer. He knows only the drives and files that you have imported the photos of. If LR shows not all of the photos that are on your hard drive, it is because you did not import all photos.

  If LR shows you a photo in "all photos" but do not show it in the folder you think he is in, go to "all photos", select the image, right click "view in the library folder. This will show you where LR think the picture is.

• How migrations (El Capitan) not come to the photo library?

  Hello

  I want to use the Migration Wizard to move my user account for my MacMini BUT put the photo library on a separate hard disk from the system drive.

  My MacMini has two internal drives, the library is huge.

  The MacBook (early 2008 - running Snow Leopard) old a MacMini (late 2009 - El Capitan cool running).

  How migrations (El Capitan) not come to the photo library? It seems to only be set for the entire account.

  If I do this, put the library on a separate disk. How to use Time Machine to back up the library?

  The separate HARD disk transfer photo library, and then delete the disk that you are migrating.

  Time Machine backup disks all connected, unless you put them in the list of exclusions.

• Trouble with the migration of my photo library

  I migrated my old MacBook Air to my new MacBook Air by time capsule, most things moved smoothly, but my pictures library does not open on the new computer. It says "Photos has attempted to repair the library 'Photos', but is unable to open it." Then closes.

  Is your photo library in iCloud online? If so you can just leave Photos download photos on the new computer. First, open your pictures folder and delete the photo library. Don't forget to empty the trash.
