Get my photo library to update on my phone and computer without itunes

I'm trying to find the best way to have a photo library tidy on my computer and on my iPhone without using iCloud photo library. Because I expect to have more images over time, the ideal solution would allow me to have a selection of the best pictures on my phone.

I understand that I must sort, delete, and edit my photos on my iPhone just before I import it onto my mac, other than on my iPhone, am I right?

I think I have to do is:

(1) import pictures on my mac using photos and check the box "Delete imported photos.

(2) synch that some of them back to the iPhone via itunes (for example the ' Favourited' ones)

It seems weird I have to delete all of my iPhone first, before putting (some of) their return. What is the solution?

But what will happen if I delete them import? I have duplicates: iPhone original ones + the 'synched via itunes ones?

Furthermore, if sometimes I think about my iPhone before importing a few photos from the iPhone to the mac, will be those imported in the last/not yet photos deleted?

Thank you very much for your help,

Joss

Photos the photos you take with your iPhone are in the camera roll album. You can edit, share, etc.

Photos that sync you it to your iPhone using iTunes are required separately. You can't change unless you save a copy of the film.  And you cannot import photos iTunes sync for mac easily. In addition, it is not possible delete photos synced directly on the iPhone. You can delete the sync again and omitting the photos that you don't want on the iPhone.

How you manage photos on your iPhone better will depend on the amount of free storage on the iPhone. If you don't have any storage space and not to edit photos on the iPhone and just want to discover your Favorites, import pictures on your mac, check, if the import went well, then delete them iPhone and sync with iTunes.

If the storage on your iPhone is not a problem, remove photos from the iPhone every time you need to free the storage after their recording on the Mac.

(1) import pictures on my mac using photos and check the box "Delete imported photos.

The "delete after Import" is risky. Avoid it. The problem is that if Photos crashes when importing for some reason, your photos may be lost. They will have been deleted from the iPhone, but does not appear in your photo library. Or if some of the pictures has not transferred properly, you can't repeat the import. I would wait until you have checked the imported photos and made the first backup of your library, before deleting the pictures imported from the iPhone or the card.

  • Permanently delete an item from my library and computer - Windows, iTunes 12.3.3.17

    I want to permanently delete an item from my library and computer - Windows, iTunes 12.3.3.17

    I read this post from Apple. But I do not get option 3.

    Can someone please help.

    Link: 12 iTunes for Windows: delete the songs, playlists or other elements

    Option not to get:

    Do one of the following:

    • Remove the item from your iTunes library only: click on a file to keep.
    • Remove the item from your computer: click on move to the trash. The item is deleted the next time you empty the trash.

    The exact behavior on deletion depends on the location of the file in question as iTunes encourage you only to recycle the files located in the iTunes Media folder. Behavior also differs if you are working in a playlist rather than saying the main music source. Shift + delete can be used to remove it from the library while you watch a playlist. Removal of media bought may lead to additional confirmation dialog boxes, as well as the use of iTunes game or Apple's music.

    If you keep your media outside of the folder of media to iTunes standard see KillSelectedFiles for a script that does just what it says.

  • My photo library is renamed to PhotosLibrary.photoslibrary and now I can't change it back. Why?

    My Photos application is accessible from the 'photos' album in my finder and until today he still was named "Photo Library". I went into the album today to learn that he has changed his name to PhotosLibrary.photoslibrary and now when I try to take off the part .photoslibrary an error message occurs and despite clicking 'delete' it then don't let me access the app in this way. Why suddenly changed and how can I change its original name?

    The ".photoslibrary" file name extension is essential to indicate to the system that it is a library of Photos.  You must not delete this file name extension, but you can hide it.

    Open the Finder preferences by clicking on the desktop, then go to the main menu bar "Finder > Preferences.

    In the preferences panel, click on the "Advanced" tab, and then uncheck "Show file Extensions".

    Hi Henryjd,

    Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums.

    I see that you are unable to open the photo and the library on the computer. I would appreciate if you can help me with the following information.

    1. what version of Windows you are using on the computer?

    2. don't you make changes on the computer before this problem?

    Start the computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists, if the question does not persist then perform the clean boot and check if the problem resolves.

     

    Step 1

    Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed. Please click the below mentioned link.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    Step 2

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Note: follow step 3 to reset the computer to start as usual after the boot process.

    Yesterday, I started to have this sound as feedback from my speakers. Unfortunately, it's more that that because my computer hangs up, almost like a hiccup, at the same time, the feedback is coming through my speakers.  Any ideas?

    Don't know if she was wrong in safe mode because my audio does not work. I have since solved the problem to restore my computer to 02/12/2010. It must have been one of the updates that were come across.  Everything works fine. These same updates require to be installed again, but I postponed every three months. I'll look more closely at any future ones.

  • Archives photo library of iCloud?

    When I take pictures on my iPhone, my ideal process would be:

    (1) pix from the phone go to iCloud

    (2) pix to iCloud downloaded the photos on my Mac

    3) once on my Mac, pix never get deleted photos except if I explicitly

    In other words, the CMA should be archiving, and I should be able to remove the pictures from the phone and iCloud without deleting the Mac.

    In practice, #1 and #2 work fine. Problem is that if I delete a photo on the phone, it disappears from my Mac as well.

    I can't find a way to keep these photos on my Mac, short export files of Photos. Surely, there must be a better way?

    Note that I don't have the parameter 'Download the originals of this Mac' is enabled in settings iCloud in Photos. This does not seem to prevent the deleted, however the pictures.

    I use OS X 10.11.6 and iOS 9.3.5.

    In practice, #1 and #2 work fine. Problem is that if I delete a photo on the phone, it disappears from my Mac as well.

    That's because iCloud photo library is designed for synchronization, not as an external storage, as your probably know. New photos imported from any device download to iCloud photo library as the centralized storage. Modifications and changes to the photos of any device will synchronize to iCloud and updated on all devices, including the removal of the pictures. iCloud Library maintains library on all identical devices.

    I can't find a way to keep these photos on my Mac, short export files of Photos. Surely, there must be a better way?

    For your desired workflow, Thomas, I recommend to create a second photo library on your Mac, your Photos of Archive library, which is not synchronized with iCloud.

    Let the synchronization of photos from iPhone to your iCloud photo library and upload to the library on your Mac that is synchronized with iCloud. Then transfer them to your library Archive by export and re-import.  Or invest in pictures of power for easy transfer photos between libraries of Photos.

    The alternative, which recommends Apple, is to abstain from remove photos from iOS devices and use the "Optimize storage" option on the iPhone.  Keep your comprehensive library on the iPhone optimized version.

    I have used this approach for a few months. My iPhone and iPad have 64 GB of storage, and that worked somehow, but is a pain, because we cannot control which photos will get 'optimized '. It's a pain, if I want to create a slide show and pictures are underway in iCloud only Internet available.

    I switched back to my photo stream to download new photos from my iPhone and disabled iCloud photo library on my iOS devices, I'm only using iCloud photo library to keep Macs in sync.

  • Why my photo library takes a long time to create or open a library?

    I have my photo library automatically updated to Version 1.0.1. When I click on the "Get Started" button, it is still loading. It was a night.

    There is an important image in my library. What should I do?

    Hi skrxoxo,

    The length of time that it will take to your new to create photo library depends on the number of photos that you have your different libraries and your internet connection speed if you have enabled iCloud photo library.  It could take up to a week if your photo collection is vast. Here is some information on the process:

    Start with Photos for OS X
    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT204655

    If you need to access the image important that you mentioned above, you can use the Spotlight search if you know the name of the file.  Or, you can open iPhoto or Aperture, if the file exists in one of these libraries.

  • How to quickly get 100 + photos from iPhone in pictures on iMac with the download speed very low broadband?

    Hi all

    I have an iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 9.3.1 and a retina iMac running OSX El Capitan 10.1.4.  I use iCloud photo library and I like the idea of having all the pictures synced across all devices.  This works well for one or two odd photos I take here and there.

    I have just been on vacation and taken 100 + photos with my iPhone and want to create an album of photo printed on my iMac, but the problem I am facing is that it takes so long to get the pictures on pictures on my iMac.

    My download speed high speed is very low - on 0.3Mbit / s, so the photos are always download to iCloud from my iPhone now, and I guess it will be another day or two to complete.

    Is it possible to get the photos from my iPhone to the iMac more quickly without creating duplicates or spoil my library?

    It's so frustrating to have to wait 5 days after her return from vacation before you can start making a photo album.

    Thanks for any help,

    Kind regards

    Ben

    You can connect the phone with USB and import or use iTunes sync or Capture of Image - this can cause a problem with duplicates

    And of course, you can stop by a store StarBucks, Apple (or other WiFi hotspot with good service) and complete quickly

  • 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.
