Location of the copy in Photos

Is it possible to copy the location from one photo to another in Photos as we could in iPhoto?

My iPhone picks up the location but my Sony camera does not work.  In the past, with iPhoto, I could copy the location of a photo with the location of a photograph (taken in the same place) who did not have the location information.  I thought the Photos were supposed to be updated to allow to add/copy the location.

Using OS X El Capitan version 10.11.5 on an iMac

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hi debby0514,

If when you import photos from your camera Sony to the Photos app and the location data is not displayed or incorrect, the best way to solve this problem would be to manually add the location for the pictures once it's in the Photos app. You can do so by following the steps below.

1. Select a badly located photo.
2. choose Image > location > location to remove the menu bar.
3. press on command-I to display the info of the image.
4. at the bottom of the information window, click on location.
5. start to type an address, city, company, or other name of the location. When you type, AutoComplete suggestions will appear. Select the location you want to assign to the image.
6. repeat these steps for any image which has an incorrect location.

Difficulty of the incorrect locations in Photos

You can do this with several photos at the same time. Press on and hold down the SHIFT key, and then select the first photo you want to apply changes to. From there, click the last picture you want to assign to the same place for. Release the SHIFT key and then right-click on one of the images highlighted. Select "Get Info" and follow the steps above to enter the site. This will apply to this location for each image that you highlighted.

This should get the desired location on your photos without delay. Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

Have a great day.

  • Location of the file modified Photos - how I update Photos directory in FCP?

    I recently moved the storage location of all my photo files of my internal HD to an external hard drive that I was running out of room.  When I shot to the top of the FCP to edit videos, I noticed that the list of Photos is now empty where before it showed all my videos/images.  See here: http://screencast.com/t/ThHkIu0B

    So, how to upgrade the Photos folder directory in FCP?

  • import the library of photos of Yosemite to El Capitan

    I'm doing a fresh installation of the El Capitan after I made backup of operating system existing Yosemite on external drive, so I need to import the library of Photos of Yosemite El Capitan.

    How can I do? Suggestions please?

    New facility means fade and clean install? If you have a backup or Yosemite is located on the external hard drive, then go in the user folder/photos Yosemite and restore the iPhoto for the El Capitan record/photos user library. Open iPhoto (or Photos), then set the location of the user folder/photo library.

  • can I save a copy of the library of Photos on a hard drive that is formatted for PC?

    I've seen several references to the requirement that a hard drive be formatted to Mac OS... but here's my situation... I back up my everyday Mac files and folders (with commands simple copy/paste) on a 2 TB disk that has been formatted for a pc. It seems to work fine for me.

    MY QUESTION - can I copy the photo library (mine is now 15G) of this same drive (even once... it is NOT formatted in OS) to provide care? Yes, I'm not going to try to "open" here but I can copy it on the Mac and do work properly. im just trying to be able to recover from a crash of my Mac.  If my Mac crashed, I won't be able to backup the library of Photos of this PC drive formatted to my new Mac, and then open it as usual.

    extra credit question: what exactly is a "library" file I see that it shows with another icon in the finder, compared to a folder or a file.  im guessing that it is some kind of package that has the hierarchy within this user every day didn't need to dive in...? but in the context of my Q... can I copy this library (from 1 location 2 location) as if it was a garden variety file?

    1. no outside a Mac OS Extended format disk image. Note that if the drive is formatted FAT32, the file size of the image must be less than 4 GB.

    2. Yes, it is.

  • Copy past Photos in the Newsroom and lost photo EXIF data

    Mac Pro OS X El Capitan to 10.11.6 and Photos Version 1.5 (370.42.0)

    Question: when I do a copy paste a photo of Photos to my mac desktop, the copy is made, but I lose the photo information (EXIF data) and especially the date that the photo was taken. I need this date to filter all my photos and then rename them all directly in the Finder.

    Thanks for your advice

    That's right (copy / paste Gets an overview of average quality without metadata updates)-the proper way is to export the photos (menu, file == > export) checking metadata fields you want to include

  • Where is the folder 'My Photo Stream' located locally on a Mac?

    Hi all

    I try to access the folder 'My Photo Stream' on an MBA with El Capitan 10.11.3 with the Finder, but can't seem to find anywhere. To be clear, I'm not trying to find my iCloud photo file, unless they are the same thing. My guess is that since the app of my photo stream is an iCloud service, the folder is not actually on my Mac anywhere but straight up into the cloud, somewhere I looked and looked, but the closest location I've seen suggested was " ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub ." which was a few versions of OS X there are and no more seems to exist. Any help is very appreciated.

    Thank you

    They are inside your photo library (or iPhoto Library if you use that).

    However, you will not find a folder that contains them. The screen you see with albums and moments, etc. is all made up using a database to link photos that belong to the given location.

  • iPad is set to optimize the storage of photos from device. App Photoshop Express will edit the reduced size copy stored on the device, or automatically process the iCloud kept a life-size?

    Can someone advise please?  I copy all my photos from SD card in my iPad and the use of the Photoshop Express application to modify.  iPad is set to optimize the storage of photos from device. Edit app Photoshop Express small size kept on the device, copy or automatically will process the iCloud a life-size?

    I guess you'll have to manually lower the file full resolution first. I would ' t think that any application would just go and take it automatically from the Cloud. You may need to check if you have not already.

  • If I copy and paste an image file (jpeg, for example) in the folder of photos on my Mac, is it automatically imported in the Photos app?

    If I copy & paste an image file (jpeg, for example) that I downloaded from the internet to the folder of photos on my Mac, is it automatically imported in the Photos app? Note that the picture on my Mac folder is the folder that contains the file "Library.photoslibrary Photos".

    N ° you must actively import photos with the file-> import... command.

    Given that you can delete the file as soon as it is imported - if you have the copy in the library checked preferences - I use a folder called 'imports' on my desk to separate files that I'm importing. Once they are imported files into the import folder can trash.

  • Photo Gallery can't open this picture because you do not have permission to the location of the file asscess

    I had to format my pc yesterday and I can't access my photos on my hardrive 2ndry can anyone help this is the message I get when I try to view them
    Photo Gallery can't open this picture because you do not have permission to the location of the file asscess RJ

    I recently started having the SAME problem. Windows Photo Viewer working wonder in the past months on the same exact images without any problems.

    I suspect that Microsoft update the code somewhere which pushed as an update - what is now the cause of the problem.

    As a diagnosis, I tried with the right button "open with...". "and chose the paint. The same file opened without any problem.

    All the pictures are generated for all images without problem.

    Still, Windows Photo Viewer cannot display ALL my image files. Paint has no problem.

    Similarly, right click 'open with... '. "and choose Microsoft Office 2010. Loading the image without any problems.

    If the original poster has the same success using other programs - then the problem is with the Windows Photo Viewer - Microsoft of not having it recognize permissions for the code or something.

    It's on Windows 7 Professional 64 - bit. Latest updates applied Microsoft.

    Click on the folder and change your permissions for it and all subfolders and files all rights and if necessary take hand the case (and maybe the parent folder or even its parent - and all of the subfolders and files) until you have the permission you need.  Here are the general procedures to help you:

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

    To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

    Good luck and I hope this helps!
