Confusion of photos!

The Photos app is causing me much confusion!  I have an iPhone, iPad 9.7 Pro, iMac and a MIni iPad and I can't get the pictures that I take for example on my iPhone to my iPad and iPad Mini.  All these flip-flops slider in settings Photos confuses me, I tried more to what they are supposed to do, but nothing helped.  I 1 222 photos on my iPad, 1209 photos on the iPad Mini and don't know how on the iPhone but it is more than the iPad.

What is really confuse me are the two sliders that say 'Optimizes storage iPhone' & 'download and keep the originals '.

The two option say that iCloud photo library will be removed from iCloud within 3 days.

Advice or instructions about what to do with this application, so that any device I use to take a picture, it syncs to other devices including my iMac.

Thank you.

  • Photo of sorting in the Sierra

    I recently returned from a trip and imported my photos in Photos. They are a mixture of photos from iPhone and my camera, but I have synced the time on both, they would then be in the correct order once mixed between them.  Because I was in the mountains, some photos have a geographical location, embedded, and others do not.

    However, in the Photos, it does not seem to be a way to sort everything by time. It is all the photos with the news of geographic location as a moment of consolidation, then showing those without much later in the order. This applies even to try to sort "Oldest first" album. The result is very disjointed and confusing, as photos taken seconds apart on the same subject appear nowhere near each other in the album sorted.

    Other than the manual update of hundreds of photos with an approximate location, or stripping all its location data, is there a way to get around this?

    Make a user photo album - either a standard album or smart album (smart album for pictures between certain dates is probably logical) and you can then sort by date/time, ascending or descending or title album (menu display == > sorting)

  • Import: Image think Photos is already imported

    Hello!

    I had this problem at the time where I used iPhoto instead of Photos as well. The problem persists with Photos.

    When I was important with iPhoto, the rare but not too rare occasions, iPhoto show me one of the images I tried to import next to an old already imported picture, which is completely different from one being imported, asking me if I would like to import this duplicate image already imported. The two images were nothing so much, I do not understand why you would think that they are the same.

    My NEX - 6 has a DSCXXXXX of naming system, the Xs is numbers. I think it started from the beginning once before, after hitting DSC99999, months there are many, but I don't think that's the problem. Only one or two images (off maybe a hundred) imported would be confused with photos already imported.

    Photos seems to do the same thing, but in a most annoying manner. iPhoto will ask if I want to import the "duplicate" in any way, but just Photos sticks Photos under already imported, who can bring mixed with photos in fact already imported. For this reason, I have to format the card on the camera after each import, which is boring and annoying that I liked to carry a portable backup with me on camera.

    Here, the image shows that the images "Already imported" were taken on July 28. It is today. The last import what I did yesterday, I come back from a shoot. I remember taking this picture about an hour ago, and I certainly not imported anything today. Photos of restarting does not solve the problem, or don't take out them and reinsert the SD card.

    The evidence here, the last image was taken on 27 yesterday.

    It's a bit of a pain. Someone at - it ideas? Any response would be highly appreciated! I have not been able to find an answer or a similar position elsewhere, if there is, please excuse me. Thank you!

    I have not seen this, but sometimes I had tell me I was import a duplicate image when both had nothing to do with each other at all - I just short it off as because it's a computer - and I do not have seen all the other posts on this subject

  • How can I select all the photos to download icloud on a Mac?

    I do the thing IT Manager family.

    My daughter moved into a House with the lousy broadband (0.5Mbit / s!).  She had already signed for storage iCloud and used pictures of iCloud for several years with his iPhone & iPad.  She has now a large number of photos & videos (ex iPhone & iPad) in iCloud, but also a large number of old photos in her photo album on his MBP (which she didn't register to iCloud Photos with).  I would get all of his photos on iCloud and in Photos in his MBP, and she can stop trying to use the thing iCloud until she gets a better broadband connection (and just sync with USB, in the traditional way!).

    I use iCloud Photos myself and find it very confusing - iCloud Photos, photo, pictures of iCloud sharing stream...

    However, I don't see an easy way of simply by downloading everything.  If I access iCloud Photos via Safari, I can download photos, but there seems to be no option "Select all", then by selecting several hundred photos will be tedious say the least.

    If I sign his MBP Photos up to iCloud, it goes, I guess, download all her photos to iCloud, ok, BUT, it will automatically download all her old photos on iCloud and probably exceed its storage limit, but also take a long time (45 GB - if I have fiber at home, so perhaps tolerable).

    I did a little research and can find no easy answers.  One possibility is to create an empty photo library on the MBP, sign up to iCloud, wait for synchronization, the export of all photos in a folder, re-import the old library of Photos and then delete again.  Seems possible, but tedious.

    All the best ideas?

    FWIIW, my daughter MBP is a mid-2009 13 ", just updated (by the family IT Manager!) to el Capitan. a little slow and only 250 and only 70 GB available.

    This will put all the photos in the cloud and on Mac.

    Once done, turn off iCloud photo library.

    in photo viewer the 'toolbar' at the bottom of the screen (the one that shows the following image, the slide show is running, etc.) obscures information camera, titles, etc., on my picture. How can I see this information?

  • Transfer of pictures in the same resolution

    I have a ton of pictures of vacation that I just edited (first photos most 25 MB).  When I go to transfer them on a disc that they cross KB far the resolution that they are on my computer.  I considered the export, but when I do that, I lose the dates (very important).

    I refuse to believe that Apple has messed up pictures so bad that there is no way to transfer these pictures in their format edited with dates.  Can someone tell me please how to fix this?  Thanks in advance.

    Resolution has nothing to do with the size of the file: it is determined by the pixel dimensions and does not change unless you crop a photo or export with the dimensions of the pixels below

    File size is determined mainly by the JPEG compression that you control completely using the quality options - if you want an image uncompressed export to TIFF uncompressed format (and also the very big because of that)

    As for dates there are not affected by Photos - they are in the /IPTC within the photo EXIF data and stay unchanged when you export the picture - even once you seem to be confusing attributes Photos with file attributes - two totally different and usually unrelated sets of data

  • Confused.  Try to understand the Photo app Syncing iCloud

    Hi, just bought myself an old 5s iPhone which is big for me.

    I have some questions on how the Photos sync app works on my Mac.  I have a Mac mini desktop computer.

    This sharing of photos is incredible, but I am very new to it and get confused what is actually happening.

    I activated the option "Upload automatically to iCloud" on my iPhone but when I look on my desktop Mac that I do not see my most recent photos appear in the folder called 'iPhone' in my desktop version of Photos.  To get my downloaded photos I must actively download them from my phone.

    This folder has appeared after I connected my iPhone to my Mac via the USB cable.  I did this because someone on Facebook said.  This iTunes open for some reason and other things started happening that I don't understand.  I wanted to share pictures, not tunes and he tried to update but the Wi - fi wasn't working at the time so he kept failing.  When I checked the Wi - Fi works on my phone, it updated but iTunes kept trying to update.  Then the iPhone suddenly had all the records that I had done in Photos on my Mac, but the records were all empty.  Yet, all the Photos I had taken on my iPhone that day appeared on my Mac.  Now finally some pictures randomly my Mac on my iPhone as well and I do not understand why.  Then, when I open Facebook on my iPhone, the pictures that I had taken to a family visit appeared there with a musical slideshow!  What is everything?

    How does this work?  It works by sending photos of the invisible iCloud, which means that it requires action by me to make them appear in my desktop?  In this case, this mean I'll have hundreds, maybe thousands of images are circulating in the iCloud I can forget and end up running out of space on my iCloud?  Or do they stay on my phone until I have actively download them on my Mac?  If I turn off the automatic function, will I still be able to send photos to my Mac?

    If I delete a photo on my Mac, it will also disappear from my iPhone (and vice versa)?

    I have a lot of other questions but my poor old brain melting now and I forgot what I was going to ask, so I'll post them later.

    Thank you for your patience.  I'm old (and a bit thick).

  • Catalogue of confusion after the removal of the photos on external hard drive. [was: help!]

    I tried to be smart and I bought an external hardrive to free up some space on my laptop.  I transferred all my photos to the hardrive thought that I would be able to work on these photos in lightroom, as long as I had the hard drive plugged into my laptop.  Well this is not the case apparently.  So I imported all the photos into lightroom from the hard drive.  With the hard drive plugged into the laptop I can access all my pictures, but the catalogs that I was editing have lost all their changes.  I tried to open the backup lightroom from yesterday, and nothing happens.  If I select one of my catalogs that none of the images are there, he also says missing photos.  So I tried to locate all missing photos, and nothing happened.  All the photos are in lightroom, they appear in the library under the external hardrive.  But I can't shoot in my catalogs and cannot roll back changes to the photos I was editing when I put all my photos on the external hard drive.

    Hi Amanda,.

    You get the workflow a bit confused here. It is hard to follow all of the steps you took, but I will try to explain the correct procedure.

    1. you have a Lightroom Catalog and all images in the catalog pointing to a location on the internal drive (ideally, it would be a series of folders under the folder of a high level, to make it easier to step 3 below).

    2. copy the image of folders containing images of the Interior on the external drive. You now have two copies of your images.

    3. open Lightroom and you should see all your images again. Open the files Panel and right-click on the top-level folder that contains all the image files (this is where a single top-level folder is priceless). Choose 'location of folder update... »

    4. navigate to the top level on the external drive folder and choose that. Your Lightroom Catalog is now oriented to the external hard drive.

    At this point, you can go on using Lightroom normally. You can copy, move or delete the images of your internal drive, because Lightroom is their use is no longer.

    Note that in step 3 above, if all your image files are not contained in a single top-level folder, you will need to repeat steps 3 and 4 several times, once for each top-level folder.

  • Confused about the removal of the photo

    I have my photos synchronized so when I get one on my phone, it shows up on my mac and everything is also saved in the cloud. My question is when I want to delete only one way I do is delete it from my phone, and then also remove from my mac. What I have to then remove it from the Cloud? This seems a long way to go on the removal of the pictures so I guess that I'm doing it wrong. Is there here to erase a picture once and it will remove 3 everywhere (Mac, phone and cloud)?

    If you use iCloud photo library on all devices then all devices will be the same - any changes (addition, deletion or an edit on any device will be on all devices, including iClud.com)

  • Confused about the disk space with the photo library

    I understand that Photos uses hard links, and that therefore the photo library should not take much more space than the old Aperture library. But in a sense, I think that's not strictly true, and ' t actually takes this amount of space.

    My current photo library is 174 GB. The old library of opening that I imported in April is 155 GBs I have a couple of other files in images, representing perhaps 10 MBs. Finder reports my folder of photos using 330 GBs.

    Worse still, the disk hard integer (which is 500 GB) said I have only about 8 GB of free. When I look at the files that take the place, it seems that the GBs 330 is exact, so the vast majority of the use of the disk is duplicated libraries.

    I kind of thought maybe I had actually an extra GBs 155 or something, because old files of opening were now linked to the photo library. But this doesn't seem to be the case.

    Can someone explain this to me? I want to blow the Aperture library, because I have no intention to never use Aperture again, but I'm afraid that there are files in this library that have never in Photos, so duplication.

    Thank you!

    My current photo library is 174 GB. The old library of opening that I imported in April is 155 GBs I have a couple of other files in images, representing perhaps 10 MBs. Finder reports my folder of photos using 330 GBs.

    Storing hard linked files is reported incorrectly.

    This is because the hard linked files are identical to the original files, and so the storage is counted twice by the Finder.

    See: Six colors: the (hard) link between iPhoto and photo

    The library of Photos that is created from your Aperture library should have approximately the same size as the original opening library, but the image inside the library are stored on the same disk as the same pictures blocks in the original Aperture library.

    But once you start working with the new photos of library, more links will break for the preview images.  If you change a photo, a new preview will created, and who will no longer be linked to the preview in Aperture. It will be saved there less storage, so. Also, if you used a custom size for previews in Aperture, the new extracted in pictures will need extra storage.

    Or, if you use iCloud library synchronization with iCloud may break references.  Original on your Mac could be replaced by iCloud original during synchronization and verification duplicates.

    If you no longer use the Aperture library, move it to an external drive to free storage on the internal drive.  If you discover missing photos in the photo library, you can access the Aperture library on external drive as well.

  • Imported photos and delete from the iPhone are confused - I can fix?

    I imported the photos taken with the Photos app on my iPhone 5, with "Remove items after importing" lit. But in pictures the pictures are not good: the photo was cropped in half, if that makes sense, with this half duplicated and that appears twice and a thin line grey narrow between duplicates. And a tiny tiny version of the picture properly, appears at the top of this thin grey line. Thus, for example, that if a photo needs to be "XO", it's rather "XX", with a tiny version of XO appearing at the top of the grey line in the middle of the XX.

    This did not happen for all the photos I just imported, only about half of them; and the system then told me some pictures could not be imported due to an error. I then tried to import the remaining pictures once again, and they are fine.

    The originals have been removed from the iPhone - can I somehow fix those images? Does anyone else have this problem?

    And I guess that's a warning against "remove items after the import. I've never had a problem with this before.

    Thanks in advance!

    Are only thumbnails in Explorer corrupted, or the photo also shared in two, if you click on it to enlarge?

    If the enlarged photo is fine, try to recreate thumbnails by rotating the photo back. You can select several photos at once and click on ⌘R, the ⌥⌘R.

    Try to open the photo in edit mode and try to "Return to the original", if it is available.

    You have a recent backup of iTunes to your iPhone? The pictures of the camera should be included in the backup, if you don't use icloud.

    If you can not fix the pictures imported by turning, try to restore your iPhone to the latest backup to restore the camera.

  • Need help with the huge problem of first Pro Photo. Confused beyond belief.

    Ladies and gentlemen, I've been at this for two days and am desperately needing help. At the moment my editing in Premiere Pro is completely blocked because of a bizzare picture problem. I am 100% glued and impossible to change.

    When I add a picture of my bin, it's ok. Then I add a second and it seems fine. But all the photos I add after this show as the first image. Never forget that the name of the file appears correct.

    The image itself, as well the thumbnail and the image in the timeline, etc. are just the first image.

    I restarted, rebooted, started new projects with new settings, cleared the cache first Pro... Nothing works.

    Video is not a problem. Only images. And now I'm dead in the water as a result.

    Look at this screenshot. See how the other as the second picture they are all the same? Well, they shouldn't be. But they are. And I'm stuck and cannot change at all as well.

    WTH is going on here?

    I have Premiere Pro 5 on a PC from Adobe Production Premium.

    Is a question I've had recently in the middle of editing that Premiere Pro will start in line video that has already been fulfilled previously.
