  Where the photos are normally stored on a Mac computer?

  The pictures that you have imported into the photo library are, by default, stored inside the package (not file) "Library.photoslibrary Photos" in your pictures folder. The 'iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary' package would contain photos that have been stored in your library, iPhoto at the time of the migration.

  The other files in the pictures folder are that: other files. Also, they can be in libraries if you imported and has not deleted the copies lying around in the images.

  Soon as your App Photos or iPhoto lost track of your photo library, or there has not been migrated from your old drive. You can create an empty library and probably enable iCloud photo library for photos to upload to the cloud.

• If I exported my photos when I import them into another library of Photos, will they still be live photos?

  I plan to export my entire library of Photos on a hard drive, that I will then use import my library to another library of Photos on another computer (with the latest updates). When I export my photos (choosing File > export > export Photos X...), they will still be "live pictures" that is when I import them will be powered?

  For sure if you simply move a copy of the entire library to the new system, you will have all - export and import loses a lot of information and can lose quality if you're wrong - interconnect systems and drag the library photos of the current system to the new system images folder - or use an external hard drive to the Mac OS extended (journaled) format to move in all

• How to import pictures to my library of Photos on Macbook Pro if I moved the library to an external drive to save space?

  Recently, I copied my library of Photos (Yosemite version 10.10.5) on an external drive, so I can then delete it to free up disk space. I've read some older articles (a few years), because I can't find the newest, who speak of creation and management of affairs to a new library, but it does not appear to match the drop-down menus, I work with that.  I myself as much as to rename the Library copy, I still have on my Macbook Pro, but don't know what to do to go from there, since I seem to be outdated instructions.  I have not removed the library still existing on my Mac because I fear that I won't be able to undo everything I do.  Can someone enlighten me please?  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Pictures always open and use the last use library - hold down the option key while launching Photos and choose the library on the EHD (note the EHD must be formatted Mac OS extended (journaled), be connected via a fast wired connection and should not be used as a backup volume Time Machine)-a complete test it and then you can remove the library on the internal disk (test once more before emptying the Recycle Bin)

• Corrupt Library.photoslibrary photos

  I just migrated a Macbook Air to a new Macbook (the one that is light. Years to come).

  IPhoto has started, and he told me this file need to be repaired.  I have run several times and whenever it is said, is working on it for a while and the % increase.  The end result is that it cannot open the file after the "repair" is complete (which stops at 95%).

  How dio to retrieve all my photos.  They seem to all be present in the form of files, but...

  (The product below (Macbook Air) is what I migrated from for the new Macbook)

  Thank you

• Duplication of my library of photos from my wife (once, not persistent) phone

  My wife and I have separate MacBooks and iPhones, with the iCloud separate accounts (and want like that). I know there is no current way to actually "share" our libraries of Photos in a transparent way (grrr), so what I plan to do is to migrate a duplicate of my existing photo library (who currently with all of its photos and mine) on his machine, and then we'll take everything not turn import our photos via USB for some and other computers 'share' to proceed.

  My question is: if I make a copy of the file "Library.photoslibrary Photos" on my MacBook and place it in the folder ~/Pictures on my wife's cell phone, will be his machine to use it properly and start using it as the basis for his own (separate) iCloud photo library? I use iCloud photo sharing with my library of photos (with my iCloud account), but my machine is set to 'Download the originals of this Mac' so I don't think I would transfer all files of complete sizes. I realize, this is a snapshot in time, and once the two libraries are set up on their own accounts of iCloud photo library, they will be Islands separated by itself.

  I know in the past I could just copy to his machine and go, but wasn't sure if the Photos Library.photoslibrary files now somehow contains the link to my account iCloud or something and would not properly be 'work' when adding to his machine. My hope is that when I first copy the file Library.photoslibrary of Photos to his machine, it will only have a local copy of the photos and then when I turn on iCloud photo library on your computer, the photos will begin downloading to her iCloud.

  This will work as expected?

  Yes it will work as expected with this comments

  You must set the library you transfer only the system library in his Photos preferencs

  and it will not replace iCloud pHoto Library - it will merge in it (elimination of duplicates in the process)

• Why the pictures/Photos Library.photoslibrary/Database/metaSchema.db rewrite? It seems to be causing large backups

  Since going to OS X 10.11.4, I was make great daily backups (+ 3 GB) on time machine. This seems to happen even if I hadn't used the machine so far here. I noticed that the Photos had a new date of all everyday even if I had not opened it or loaded new pictures, I looked at his files using Terminal.  It seems that ' Photos/Photos Library.photoslibrary/Database/metaSchema.db' was the file with the new date of every day. In my system, it is about 3 GB.

  What is the explanation for the file being rewritten every day? More importantly is it possible to prevent it? (Or Plan B: is there any similarly to tell Time Machine to ignore it when it finds files modified - assuming the metaSchema.db reconstruction is something that could be done without too much damage, if I already had restore the pictures of the machine time?)

  There is continually a synchronization process with your system photo library.

  And if you use iCloud the cloudphotosd library is also synchronize with the library, even if you use any Photos that day here.  Your system photo library is continuously in use.

  To avoid this, you need to have a library empty your library of the system, but then you cannot use Photos with the media browser or iCloud.

• import .mov files in pictures for Mac?

  I took a few videos a short holiday with my digital camera. Saved on my EyeFi Mobi card before sending them on my iPad.

  Now that I'm Home I want to import videos into pictures on my iMac.

  I sent them from my iPad to my iMac via AirDrop. But I'm having trouble getting the files. When I open them a black box appears which says conversion. They seem to be JPEG files now, not the MOV files.

  I want to import these movies Photos for Mac, but I'm stuck.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you

  Connect the iPad to your Mac with USB cable and use Image Capture to download video files to iPad.  Make sure they are playable in Quicktime player and then import them into your library.

  

• Can I download originals to iCloud for mac before move library of photos on external hard drive

  I moved my library of photos from my laptop on a thunderbolt 2 TB external drive. I opened pictures (option click) and chose this place to open. Then I opened the photos and click preferences on use this as library of photos of systems. I checked iCloud and he said that I had referenced files that could not be downloaded and consolidate them. I do not know which files are "referenced". These would be photos of the former library of iPhotos that was imported in the Photos. I have more than 20,000 pictures on iCloud. Will they all finally downloaded to my new library of pictures on the external hard drive? Or I have to download the originals on my mac before moving the library of photos on the external drive. I maybe need all start over and do it - except that I don't have enough space on my drive SSD from Mac to keep them all.

  Any suggestions? My plan was to have my photos on iCloud, the originals on disk external hard and then the mac and HD on my time capsule. Access iCloud on my iPad photos air and iPhones, iPad pro.

  When I look at the size of the library of photos in my pictures folder, it is about 12 GB - there is also an iPhotos library in the images folder which is 63 GB. I think I have to combine these files but don't know how to do this. If I also moves the iPhotos library to the new external hard drive which will be done automatically. Obviously I have not deleted the folders in the library on my Mac until it works.

  They must synchronize the external disk if it's where you said Photos your library is (that you have).

  Try to create a new smart album to see what is not downloaded.

• Which photos stay permanently in my library of Photos on my Mac, not only in the photo stream?

  I just upgraded to El Capitan 10.11.6 and now tries to use the new Photos app, version 1.5. I have not activated icloud photo library on the computer or the iPhone or iPad and do not want. I would like to know what pictures, cases, will actually stay in the library of Photos on the hard drive of my computer and only be in photo stream and how to make sure than I think I am importing actually stayed there.  I took some pictures with my camera and imported using an SD card, so I guess they will stay there. I also a few iPhoto events that have been converted into pictures when I first opened my latest iPhoto photo library, so I guess they will stay there. But when I receive an email with a picture and try to save it in the mail for the pictures, it seems that in my photos and not constantly flow in the Photos. Same thing happens when I drag a photo in the Photos of the office - it doesn't seem to be there permanently, in the photo stream. I really miss the Camera Roll function that I have on my iPhone and iPad running OS 9.3.2. Anything in my film I know is permanently on the device. I fear that eventually some of the pictures I think that are permanently in the pictures library on the Mac will disappear just when my Photostream deletes. The only way I seem to be able to tell which photos are really, that he must pretend to remove one in the folder "Photos" at the top of the list in the sidebar (the one that displays the photos in Moments, etc.) and then a window pops up asking you if I want to delete the photo or if I want to delete the picture from my photo stream. To summarize, my questions are once again: How can I know which photos will stay permanently in my library of Photos on my Mac and not just be in the photo stream? And how do I get the photos that I drag or that you import pictures to remain permanently in the library of Photos on my Mac? Thanks for any help you can give.

  But when I receive an email with a picture and try to save it in the mail for the pictures, it seems that in my photos and not constantly flow in the Photos.

  How you save for the email to Photos?

  If you ctrl - click the attachment of email and use "of exporting Photos", the photo will be imported to the Photos.

  Saving Photos from other applications is a little annoying, because the pictures do not appear in the album "last import. But you will see them in moments.  Only, you nned to scroll the way back, if the date of the photo capture is old. The photos will appear in the moment for the correct capture date.  If you see the pictures in my workflow so hoto, select them, ctrl-click and use ' Show in time.

  . I really miss the Camera Roll function that I have on my iPhone and iPad running OS 9.3.2. Anything in my film I know is permanently on the device.

  On Photos for Mac was added permanently to your library of Photos that you see in Photos with time display, Collections, the years.

  And how do I get the photos that I drag or that you import pictures to remain permanently in the library of Photos on my Mac? Thanks for any help you can give.

  The pictures that you have imported this way must have been added to your photo library, or you would not see them in my photo stream.  The photo stream shows all the photos that you have recently added to the library, to transfer them to other devices.

  You will find all the photos in your photo stream in Moments?  If this is not the case, there is a corruption in your library of Photos, then post back.

• Library of photos on a NAS file server?

  Hi guys,.

  We are about to move to OS 10.11 and therefore immune from iPhoto in Photos.

  A NAS file server currently holds all of our image files; on our different Macs iPhoto libraries have albums and lists that refer to these images, but the original files are only on the server. We have more than 300 GB of images. iCloud is therefore out of the question for the storage of files.

  We want to continue to keep our files image centralized on the file server, accessed by our different Macs. Is this possible with pictures? We are confused by the fact that almost all the discussions of Photos mentions iCloud at one time or another. ICloud is mandatory for the Photos and if so why?

  Thanks in advance

  John / Bauatelier

  iCloud is not mandatory.  It is an option to synchronize photos between several devices that are connected to the same iCloud account.

  Although technically Photos can function as a reference library with some source files on a NAS server is not a stable configuration.  It is not nearly as robust that Aperture was referencing Server source files.  Most of the users end up with a library damaged at some point.

  If you want a reliable library then consolidate your library of Photos into a managed library and put it on your boot drive or on an external HD which is being shaped as shown in this screenshot and directly connected to the Mac by USB cable, Firewire, or Thunderbolt.

  

  If you want to use the iCloud photo library to sync with all your devices, you will need to purchase enough storage iCloud to house the library and should read these Apple before committing to the iCPL:

• Open and access files from within a library of Photos?

  I have a backup from a library of Photos from my Mac before it crashed. I want to go through it and remove the pictures and videos of her without merging with my existing photo library. I intend to do by clicking right on it and choose to view the contents of the package and just I hope get a preview of the photos/videos and delete the ones I don't want and copy ones I want on another drive. I want to just make sure that doing it this way no problem or corrupt the file, etc.

  Thank you.

  This isn't a good idea. Rather than to do this, why not hold the option key while launching Photos (that is, when you click on the Photos icon in the Dock or in the Launchpad). Which will allow you to select which libraries of pictures you want to work with.
