No access to the media of the Photo.app to other applications

Hello. I migrated to the Photos.app iPhoto as soon as he was released. The migration process seemed to go well and I have access to all my photos and videos, now in the new Photos.app. The iCloud photo library has also all the pictures. It is all well synchronized. There is a small problem. Applications such as Apple Mail have a multimedia browser that allows you to access photos in the Photos.app. In my case, that some of them are appearing. Example: I have an album in the Photos.app called "funny pictures". It is a at least 100 photos in the album, but in the broser media appear only around six. Other albums are empty. Others seem to be complete.

This support article, I checked: OS x: If you can't see the images in other applications iPhoto - Apple supported and pretty much done all the steps. I say almost because there is a step that requires you to find the AlbumData.xml file and move it to the desktop to force the creation of a new. I opened the package from the photo library, but there was no AlbumData.xml. I checked Macbook Air my wife and she has the file with a bunch of other files preferences and the flea market that I don't have a reason any.

Obviously something is wrong. Apparently the migration process I messed up somehow.

If someone could point me in the right direction, I really appreciate the help.

If the pictures do not show in the media browser, check, if your current photo library has been activated in the system library in pictures > Preferences > General.  'Use as a Photo library system' should be greyed out.

After you import new photos, it is best to quit the Photos and the application that accesses photos. This will force Photos to update databases of library for the media, and Safari browser or other applications of closing force it to refresh caches read from the media browser.

In addition, you use iCloud photo library.  You have active "optimize Storage"? Photos download still pictures of iCloud, or full synchronization?

  • How can I access my photos on my macbook air without opening the Photos app

    I can't find my photos when I want to upload a picture on the internet. I don't want to make copies of these photos to another folder on my mac. "Show file referenced in the finder" is gray! I'm a new mac user and I find this very frustrating.

    If you use your Mac then this is the app that photography is another device/app to see (and edit and arrange if you wish), your photos. Do you have an objection to the use of the Photos app?

  • the Photos App in Mac Book Air how hide

    My friends:

    I want to hide the photos app on my MacBook Air (biblioteca fotos) see attached.

    OK, these pictures are in my iCloud with a security copy, allows you to delete these photos from the photos (photographs) (MacBook Air) app disappear icloud?

    Another question about it; How can put key for photo (biblioteca foto) app in my MacBook Air to access than me?

    Thank you my friends.

    You can't hide it, but you can change its location.

    If you want to keep it private use a different account for your photos and store them in the folder "Pictures" of this account so they will be inaccessible to anyone not connected to this account (unless they have administrator rights and change this folder policy)

    third question is similar to lock the application only you can access. Short to install on a suppression device, you take with you, or install it on a folder in your account that nobody else can use you will probably need a 3rd party app like Mac App blocker, which is supported by the developer, not by Apple.

  • Can I really not import the Photos app in iMovie?

    Hello

    I use iMovie 10.0.8 on a Macbook Pro running El Capitan 10.11.4. I am the only user of this Mac and its running in standard mode administrator/Overlord. There is no guest user account, or anything else.

    I have a Nikon camera, when I import pictures and video of the Nikon, it goes directly into the program the picture of Apple. It is very good.

    However, when I want to import photos or video in iMovie he won't let me. I have to physically move the things I want in a new folder on the desktop and then iMovie has no problem to see and import.

    Am I stupid? I simply click on the button import into iMovie, look in Macintosh HD but the photos app is grayed out! I just want to be able to empty all in Photos and then import from there, as I want to!

    iMovie shows you all the libraries of pictures in the section 'my media '.

    For example:

    Click on 'My media', and then click the photo library in the sidebar and wait a bit.  Photos will show you every moment, and albums, ready to drag the photos and clips to the timeline of your project.

    My screenshot is iMovie 10.1.2.  You can update iMovie for El Capitan 10-11, 4.

  • Photos deleted from the Photos app after importing and deleting off iPhone

    As the title says, today I was importing my photos and video of my iPhone for free space and to save my photos of my MacBook Pro. After everything has been imported, I deleted all the photos from my iPhone. Began shortly after the deletion, all the pictures I imported "up-to-date" and by removing themselves from the Photos app (on the macbook) and the iCloud photo library.

    I'm a bit frustrated because it was the exact opposite of why I import me my pictures and video on my computer. What is happening and is there a way I can retrieve media? Thank you.

    iCloud photo library has a single purpose - to share a library among multiple users to keep all the identical libraries so nothing added, it is added, removed or modified in a deleted or changed in all - it is a solution for streaming to the synchronization of all libraries - it is not a backup or a place to store a part of a library

  • My photos and videos are not in chronological order, when I export the Photos app

    Hello. When I export my photos and videos from the Photos app on my iMac all the photos and videos are not in order. I need all the photos in good standing - I need to export about 5 000 pictures of the application in order for a meeting next week! Help, please!

    Ethan.

    This is not photo - it is a function of the viewing program (probably the finder) - once the photos are exprted form pictures you can see then in different ways which you control, Photos does not - by the finder you can view by name of son, byt several dates, by file size, etc.

    Usually, the best way to accomplish what you want is to export using the names of batch file numbeing and then sort by file name in the program viewing

  • The people in the Photos app clock?

    The people in the Photos app supposed to sync between Mac OS and iOS? Is this an element broken or not supported? Someone please tell me that Apple does not expect me to organize people over and over again on all my devices? That would be quite ridiculous. I've never used the faces feature in previous versions for this reason.

    Unfortunately not.

    Using Photos has just been updated for Sierra, and we finally have it in writing:

    https://help.Apple.com/photos/Mac/1.2/?lang=en#/phtf5e48489c

    Note: Persons identified in the album people are not synchronized between devices.

    And as far as I know, it really does not synchronize between my libraries of Photos on the MacBook Pro and my iMac.

    It's different in the 10 user guide iOS for the iPhone and iPad:

    http://help.Apple.com/iPhone/10/#/iph9c7ee918c

    People are synchronized between devices where you are connected with the same Apple ID.

    I can't test on iOS devices, because only my iPhone can be updated to iOS 10, not the iPad and iPod touch, but the iPhone will not sync with my Mac people.

  • Update iOS10 to post the photo app shows for 2 GB with no photos

    After updating to iOS 10

    Hi 38sanjudas,

    I understand that you see 2 GB of space used by your Photos app, despite not having anything that is stored. I know it's important to get the most out of your storage space, so I'm happy to help you.

    It is important to note that when you delete a photo on your iPhone, it is not permanently deleted and will go to the album recently removed in case it needs to be recovered. If it is not emptied, he can fill and take a storage capacity as well. You can learn more about this in our article here:

    Permanently delete photos

    If you want to permanently delete your pictures or your videos within 30 days, you can remove them from the album recently deleted. When you delete a photo in this album, you can't get it back.

    1. Open the Photos app and go to the Albums tab.
    2. Open the recently deleted album and press Select.
    3. Click on each photo or video that you want to permanently delete.

  • How to copy photos in the photos on a cd application, it was easy in iPhoto, but seems to be missing

    I need to make a cd of the photos app, and he took on the transition of the photos from iPhoto app, it seems. also if you copy high resolution images that have been implemented phot they now photos when you copy them

    You must have upgraded from an earlier version of iPhoto because the option was not in any recent versions. In addition, burning a CD in iPhoto burned a library, not copy the pictures, so anyway, the process to engrave pictures on the disc is the same as it's always been:

    Export images from the application (file-> export) to a folder on the desktop and burn with the Finder.

    also if you copy high resolution images that have been implemented phot they now photos when you copy them

    Pretty much depends on what you mean by "copy". Use the Export command and you can choose the size of photos, quality of the files, and many other variables too. This was written for iPhoto, but it's about 95 percent even in Photos.

  • Help needed on the export of the Photo App

    I'm a photo hobbyest with thousands of photos stored in my Mac using the Photos app. I already saved them on Time Machine and iCloud. However, I try to upload some on an external hard drive but can't.  The Photo app continues to CHANGE the resolution of my images when I export them.  Here is what happens...

    • I have uploaded a JPEG of 5 MB in the Photo app earlier this year.
    • Now, I'm ready to take a copy of this picture on my external hard drive.
    • If I just move the original photo to the Photo app on my counter top, the resolution GOES from 5MB to 2.1 MB.
    • If I export 'The Original unmodified' I lose all the changes that I made in the Photo app.
    • If I export the 'High' quality jpeg image, it DROPS my resolution of 2.1 MB.
    • If I export the photo to the "Maximum" quality jpeg, it INCREASES my resolution to 14.3 MB!
    • I found NO WAY to download my original photo size!

    Question... How to export or copy an image from within the app of the Photo on an external hard drive with the resolution of the EXACT SAME as it is?

    Thank you!

    You first need to understand the resolution - the file size is not resolution - the resolution concerns the dimensions in pixels of the image - file to a JPEG file size is determined by the compression you choose - compression of the image does not change the dimensions in pixels of all - compression removes the donnΘes form the pictures and all JPEG in theory is inferior finial an uncompressed image as TIFF - but for practically all the uses, it does not matter

    When you export a modified version of the photo you create a new file that contains the image and the size of the files is determined by the selections you make and has no resolution at all to the original file

    Photos has limited control over file size - ir you want a file size, then export a copy of very high quality (maximum or even a TIFF uncompressed) and use another program that gives you more control to compress in the JPEG compression you want

    But at the end of the day the size of the file is really no different and it is very likely that the big JPEG will give you the same results as an uncompressed TIFF
