How can I use my photos in other programs?

My recently added photos are not available for browsing when I want to access it in another program to say, Shutterfly, or YouTube.  They appear in the photos in my favorites folder, but then they are nowhere go under computer from another program.  They can take days to appear even if I restart my computer.  Also, I can't drag and drop pictures then, how do I use my pictures elsewhere? Thank you!

Using iCloud photo library on your Mac with "Optimize Mac Storage" active? Then, your photos will not appear in the media for other applications browser.

If you don't use icloud photo library, other applications can see your photo library, if applications have been updated to be fully compatible with MacOS X El Capitan and Photos for Mac.

They will see your photo library, if it is the system library.

'Use as a photo library system' should be grayed out in the Photos > Preferences > general tab.

With these option on any compatible application displays your photo library in the file > open dialog box, if you scroll down to the 'Media' item in the sidebar and select the "Photos" icon, like this:

If the application has a Photo as Mail browser, should also be able to view the photo library.  But not all applications have yet been updated to support this.  The screenshot above is from Safari.

You can drag and drop directly in the new messaging windows, open Pages of documents or Keynote documents.

  • How can I use my photo albums as screensaver with Apple TV 4th gen

    How can I use a photo album that I created as a screensaver on the generation of Apple TV 4 because it is not an option in this sense?

    What follows is the Apple TV 4 user guide...

    Screensavers

    Apple TV displays a screen saver when it remains inactive for a predefined number of minutes.

    Air screensaver shows beautiful videos of slow motion of the places of the world, upload to an online server, making the screen saver more engaging and dynamic. For the antenna, you can control how many times Apple TV check and download new videos.

    Change the frequency of aerial screensaver download. In settings, go to general > screen saver and select Download New Videos, and then select an option.

    Return by using Apple TV. When the screen saver is active, press the contact surface to get to some app have been previously using.

    Choose a different screen saver. In settings, go to general > screen saver and select the Type. Then select the screen saver you want to use.

    Select the photos to display. Many of the screen saver options display a slide show of photos - it can include photos provided by Apple, or your own collection stored in iCloud. To choose which photos are used, in the settings, go to general > screen saver and select the Type. Then choose one of the types of screensaver-photographers.

    If you choose my Photos, the Photos app opens. Follow the instructions to put photos as screensaver.

    Set the screensaver time-out. In settings, go to general > screen saver and select the setting starts after, and then specify a number of minutes. This indicates to the Apple TV to start the screen saver automatically if the unit has been idle for the specified time.

    Activate the screen saver immediately. Press the Home button to go to the home screen (if it isn't already), and then press the button twice.

    Hello burtech, I wouldn't recommend using the HP backup program or the Windows backup program to backup my system.

    There have been many members who have reported many problems, try to restore the files by using these programs.

    I suggest you to acquire a hard drive image software. These programs can do a mirror image of the hard drive and save it in another location, on a second hard drive or an external hard drive.

    If the system is damaged, just insert a CD in the optical drive and boot the system, select the hard disk image and restore the system as it was when the hard disk images has been created. It takes less than 30 minutes, depending on the speed of your system.

    You would need to make a new hard disk image from time to time, according to the Windows updates or other changes to your system. I usually do one at least every week, or more often if necessary.

    I use Acronis for that purpose, but there are several other very good programs that do the same thing as well.

  • Can I create a Web site using Muse where classmates can submit their projects photo and other students can search for these photos using keywords?

    Can I create a Web site using Muse where classmates can submit their projects photo and other students can search for these photos using keywords?

    You need a dynamic Server backend. You can't do it just with Muse. You can connect to one of the catalyst for business advanced accounts to implement these features or use widgets from third party services. Otherwise look you in systems such as Joomla, Typo3, Wordpress etc. and not even set up with muse.

    We thank you for your email about my problem with the Brown stick Ribbon at the bottom left of this photo. I attach the screenshot. As I said before, I need to remove the Brown adhesive while maintaining the image of the small low boat left and its mast covering the band. Is it possible to do this with Photoshop?

  • How can I stop my photos be deleted from all my devices when I remove my phone is off

    How can I stop my photos be deleted from all my devices when I remove my phone is off

    With no information can only guess

    My guess is that you are using iCloud photo library and if that is correct, then this is the way ICPL works and why it exists - it synchronizes the libraries on mulciple devices by keeping anyway - any changes made on any device is performed on all including additions, deletions, and modifications

    If this isn't what you want then you should not use ICPL

    For devices with limited storage you put to use optimized photos keep the originals only on iCLoud photo library and any other device with large storage available

  • How can I transfer my photos to an external HD mediathek?

    How can I transfer my photos to an external HD mediathek?

    I m using an iMAC with OS X 10.11.1 El Capitan and Fotos 1.2 9.1.

    Hi NordundSued,

    If you want to store your photo library on an external drive, the process is as simple as (after checking that the photo is not open) copy the existing photo library on the external hard drive, and then at the opening of the Photos with the option key and choosing this library. Once you have verified that the library works correctly from the external hard drive, you can go ahead and delete the original if you want to free up space.

    By default, your system library is stored in the folder of images on your Mac, but you can move it to another location on your Mac, or store it on an external storage device. To use iCloud services, however, the external storage device must be formatted using the format Mac OS extended (journaled), also known as HFS +.

    Switch between any libraries

    1. If photo is open, choose Photos > Photos of quit smoking.

    2. Hold down the Option key and double click on the Photos icon in the Applications folder (or click on the pictures of the Dock icon) to open the pictures.

    3. In the select Library dialog box, do one of the following:

      • Click the library that you want to use, then click on choose a library.

      • If the library you want does not appear in the select Library dialog box, click other library, navigate to the location of the library, select it, then click on choose a library.

    Designate a library as the library of the system

    You can switch to another library and designate as the photo library of the system. For more information on the considerations to keep in mind when it designates another picture of system library, see Overview of the system of the library.

    To designate the current library as the library of the system:

    Choose Photos > Preferences, click general, and then click on use as Photo library system.

    Important: If you switch to another library, Photos automatically turns off all iCloud services. To use iCloud photo library, iCloud, sharing photos and my photo stream with a library of pictures newly designated system, you must activate them again in the Photos of iCloud preferences pane. When you turn on iCloud library after designation of a new library system, photos stored in iCloud are merged with those of the Photo library new system. Once the new Photo system library content is downloaded to iCloud, libraries cannot be split, so it's a good idea to look carefully before modifying your library system.
