• Solution of fast backup, photos of google or iCloud photo library?

  Hey there Apple community, im in a bit of a situation difficult and need a few thoughts. My iPhone more than 6 s is fully charged to 64 GB of photos and applications. My iMac is fully loaded with photos in iphoto, Yosemite. I have 10% left in my iMac HD. It won't let me save my iphone. I know I go through my iphoto library and organize and delete some photos and consolidate the events before migrating to the new application photos and then move it to icloud photo library, but I'm very limited on time in the next few months and won't be able to do. I wrestle on a quick temporary solution for backup, but don't want to spoil or lose my precious photos and other data.

  But this is what im thinking, tell me if this would mess things up.

  I would like to either temporarily back up all my photos on Google photos for now from my iphone, and then when I'm ready, I'm going to migrate my iphoto library all on my imac to the photo library to icloud and then transfer my photo library from google to the photo library icloud (but not sure. If it works Someone at - it experience with google pictures and Mac?).

  Or I simply activate the iCloud library of photos on my phone while it backs up my current pictures on my phone last year and then optimize my storage on my phone. Then a few months starting now to migrate my iphoto library 268 GB of Photos app on my iMac running Yosemite and then migrate the library of Photos in this same icloud photos library that I opened a few months back from my phone (I understand I will pay $10 per month for the size of the library). I feel like the latest one is the best option, but I'm not sure if I do it my icloud library won't sync and consolidate properly because I started with my current pictures on my phone and then brought in my library of photos together for the last 5 years at a later date. How do you think any community?

  Why not get an external drive and move the photo library of the computer to the outside. If successful, you can then remove the library on the computer, or just keep it as a backup.

  The article is for iPhoto, but the basics are the same.

• Organizer of photos on the top of iMac desktop computer

  I just bought a new iMac and have transferred data from my previous iMac. Also, I transferred the contents of iPhoto to Photos. (total about 13 000 pictures). I used to use iPhoto to organize and view my photos and Photoshop elements 11 as an external editor. I found iPhoto had a system much better organize Photos than if I want to stop to use the Photos. Can someone tell me how I can transfer the content of Photos to a new folder/folders in images. Then, I'll use Photoshop elements 11 and its Organizer I already installed on the computer to edit and organize my photos. I've not yet deleted my data from my old iMac.

• iCloud photo library and airport time capsule

  I'm willing to put in place a back up of my macbook pro and think using an airport time capsule.

  However, I also want to start using iCloud photo library.  I prefer not to keep the original photos on any of my devices to keep the space they use to a minimum.  I was wondering if I can save the originals in the time capsule and also use it for back ups, although I understand that this is not the safest place to keep the two sets of data.  Alternatively, if I can get an external hard drive to time capsule with a job to organize the original photos.  Can the time capsule also back up this external hard drive.

  So I would then:

  • My macbook pro saved on the Time Capsule and, possibly, the iMac to my wife, if possible
  • Pictures saved on the hard drive external and saved on the Time Capsule
  • Photos stored in iCloud photo library

  Seems to me have asked a lot of questions and do not know if it's a very complicated way to get a result.

  1 - iCloud library is not a backup

  2 - question TM are really better ask in the forum OS for your computer - we are users of Photos either way by using TM - not the TM experts - these links are also useful - use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support - http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html

  3 - when you have the original photos on the TM volume you do not have a backup at all - when the TM drive fails, you lose all

  4 - TM I do not (see #2) backup hard drive attached

  5 - Yes, you can back up several computer for a TC - I do hourly

  6. the best IMHO is what I do - a mac equipped with a player of great size that all photos and original and is saved by using TM hourly and a clone of all the more days and other Macs with storage drive limited with optimized photos

• Multiple photo library

  Hello!

  Very simply:

  -My partner and I have separate iPhones.

  -We both share a macbook.

  -J' currently have pictures of store / photo stream from my iPhone on the iCloud.  Back-up of my phone is also on the iCloud.

  -No pictures are stored on the macbook.

  -J' currently use Photo to view my photos to iCloud and use it to organize photos into folders etc.

  I want to backup my iPhone of partners on the macbook.

  I would also like to back up his library on the macbook (currently on an external storage device)

  1. What is the best way to organize and keep libraries and separate backup?  I didn't want the files become mixed, and also when the future backups are completed.

  2. it would make a difference if we create the separate connection for the macbook and log-in and log-out?  We currently share a little a login.

  Thank you!

  The easiest way would be to create a user for your partner account.

  If it connects to his user account before you plug in your iPhone, you will not accidentally import photos into your photo library.

  Create a separate account for her and she can create her own photo library and regularly import new pictures from this library.

  If you do not want to use a separate account, to create a library of Photos second for his pictures, and before you plug his iPhone, double-click its photo library to open it. Then his photos will be imported to this library. Switch to your library by double-clicking your photo library.

  See this Help Page: using multiple libraries

  If she had his own user account, she could use my photo stream automatically transfer photos to the Mac.

• Is it possible to control the Organization of Photos?

  I finally bit the bullet and improved Mavericks with El Capitan and who now have to deal with pictures. I understand that pictures is designed to look like my iPhone and the iPad, but I don't store 64 000 photos on my iPhone. I'm not interested in using iCloud, so the fact that the Photos work well with iCloud is questionable. I got my photos carefully classified into events in iPhoto, often also the keywords tag and gathered in the smart Albums. I know that these events still exist on the sidebar in Photos, but I can scroll is no longer if they visually, using the key photos to see what event I'm (and scroll through a list of 450 events in a sidebar is quite heavy). There is no way to quickly scroll through my large library AT ALL. When I look at the years/collections/moments 'organization', it looks like big piles of photos, with no logic in how they are organized. You can not just get a representative of the group photograph, he must see all (& they are so small, that really nothing appears if you go at times for each & every group). They have random dates (sort of chronological, but not always), random places, that was (I found a lot of crazy places assigned - for example, a group of photos that were all taken home with a unknown place not assigned - in another State, no less!) - in short, not useful organization. If I want a picture in particular of January 2013, it will take a little research.

  I would like to put pictures together into groups that make sense to me. Is it possible to do that, far from putting a keyword on each. unique. Photo?

  p.s., Maybe someone else has already asked/answered my question, but when I tried to search for similar issues, the search engine could not do. It turns out that "Photos" can also be read as simple 'photos', so the search engine came up with hundreds of responses - any question with the word "photos". Note to Apple: choose a single word to your photo in the future program, please. Sheesh.

  Events are dead as a concept for the organization. Photos used Moments.

  You can change the size of the images with the zoom slider.

  You can use the search tool to quickly get to January 2013 - just type Jan... and see suggestions.

  If you want to group images by your own categories can use keywords or smart Albums Albums. It's really no different than iPhoto.

  Other than that, it's perfectly reasonable to find that the app is not good for you. It is not mandatory to use it and there are other managers of photos out there that would suit your workflow better. This is especially true if you have no use for the photo Cloud element.

• Photoshop Elements, organizer & mobile photos from Mac to PC

  Hello

  I have currently more 70 000 photos in iPhoto, I edit in Photoshop Elements.  I have myself treated just for an upgrade to 14 items and organizing see during the installation process reminded me that I should see how to store and organize my photos.  At some point soon, I intend to spend my Macbook to a PC.  14 items came with a disc of Mac and a PC drive, so I guess that I would be able to use it on a Windows laptop with no problems.  What I wonder is seen my photos on my Mac, organized to the Organizer if is going to make it easier or more difficult to transfer them to PC?  If I want with iPhoto to organize my photos for now, or take the plunge immediately and use Organizer? My understanding is that it will be a big headache in any case (advice gratefully received, but a little off topic!) to transfer my photo library from Mac to PC.  Is there a way that organizing can help the transition as I could use it on both Mac and PC?  I'm guessing not, but thought someone knowledgable might be able to help!

  Thank you

  Yes, the boxed version is "double platform.

  I'm not a Mac user, but there are two ways to work with iPhoto: either use iPhoto as the organizer and send images to change to the item editor. You do not use the Organizer in the process. Or you use the option to send your entire library to the Organizer, which duplicates all your library iPhoto hidden on your computer and allows you to use the Organizer.

  http://barbarabrundage.com/2010/11/

  So, I can see the following process:

  1. be sure you are using the second solution, to import your ENTIRE library in iPhoto on your computer so that your files are no longer hidden and private iPhoto files; the Organizer all will keep them in its catalog.

  2. perform a full backup of the Organizer on an external drive

  3 - install the 14 on the PC

  4 - Use the recovery menu in the Organizer to restore on your computer. Who restores your catalog and all of your media files.

• SUGGESTIONS NEEDED: Graphic designer who needs to organize my graphic library

  Ive been wanting to find a better way to organize my extensive library of what follows (art of vector and Raster): Raster/vector designs, Logos, icons, vector graphics, backgrounds, Fonts (I use FontBook), print & web templates, Stock Photos, a large NUMBER of vector art, something frills to multi color images complex Web Design stuff (icons (, buttons, banners, etc) and last but not the least swatches native Adobe CS, patterns, gradients, actions and brushes.  I'm sure I've left out some, but you get the idea.

  I build my large collection for the period of 4-5 years and has grown to 40g of HD space to house these vaguely catergorized subfolder (i.e., vector Art, Stock Photos, plugins (degraded, brushes, etc) PS backgrounds/Textures, so on and so forth.)  I would like to store my data on the outside but with the speed of the USB flow, am not wanting to slow deck more than it does already. But help with external storage and quick access to the files would also contribute to

  As your probably thinking he is trying to become difficult to manage and even worse finding or searching for items, whereas many generically is Ive gained package names (132456.eps. flower00234.jpg, etc.)  Bridge helps a lot, but I'm trying to catergorize records and the Word key, or images that as clean as possible I hope to do it manually on a system recommended or using a 3rd party software to apply metadate as keywords that will be available is IDEAL!

  I started using Lightroom 3 to manage and catalog my collection (no), but like the keywords functionality and features meta data in LR.

  So what I am trying to accompish:
  1. organize all my art in of specific catergories
  2. I hope use metadata and keywords within the operating system program or a 3rd party manufacture easily searchable items in the Finder or Adobe Bridge.
  3. properly manage and store the art as it comes to me several times a day to keep everything up-to-date if I make a backup of all my design files, every month or so to keep stored on computer or on the cloud.

  Of the suggestions(software/procedures), links or general help on this issue is greatly appreciated!

  Thanks again for any help lended! Anyone who is willing to help me with this and is interested in Graphic Design or graphics tools, I can certainly share ANYTHING from my collection to help

  Indeed, you will need another place for them... Spotlight comments using would be necessary.

  Check http://www.publicspace.net/ABetterFinderRename/ for the name change.

• My Camera Roll and times got all the order as soon as I turned on iCloud photo library. My pictures are both old and new, please help

  All my photos are out now since I turned on IiCloud library. How can I fix?

  This - see album iCloud photo library

• Removed all icloud photo library, 1.9 GB still in use

  I deleted all of my photo, My Photo Stream etc. flows including shared library iCloud.

  I have also ensured that the recently deleted album is empty. I disabled iCloud photo library on each device. It should not be a trace of left.

  However, I always told my library back 1.9 GB of my storage iCloud. There is an option to turn it off completely but it will take 30 days, which is a long wait when I don't know if it will work.

  Any ideas that he could be taking all this space? Or if there is a way to reset all empty without waiting for 30 days?

  I use the latest version of iOS on my iPad and the iPhone, and the El Capitan on my Mac if that helps.

  Have you tried to log in to your iCloud account, then sign in again?

• iCloud library download not any photo library

  Hello

  I decided to start using iCloud photo library, so I checked the option "Préférences"-> "iCloud" Photos (version 2.0). He started to download items very well, but I noticed it is not downloading the entire library of Photos. My photo library contains 7065 photos and 151 videos, but Photos only started to load about 2500 points on iCloud library after activating what is 16.5 GB (see screenshots). When you look at the size of "Library.photoslibrary Photos" is 46.5. Does anyone know a reason for this difference? Thank you

  

  

  It'll take some time according to the signal from your ISP and Wi - Fi.  Make sure that your signal is good.

• Not recognized by Word or Photoshop photo library

  Work on a MacBook and recently installed Sierra 10.12.  Everything worked fine until all applications 3rd party such as Word, Excel, Powerpoint, (office 11 14.6.8), Photoshop Elements 10 has ceased to recognize the new photo library.  iPhoto and photo booth developed but not the photo library itself. The actual program pictures works fine. I also see the library by email and online (as a download on shutterfly). 2 hrs with tech does support last night and 3 people later no resolution.  Reinstalled Sierra. No change. Everything is updated.

  Just weird it was working one day then stopped working the next day.

  Any suggestions besides to annihilate the entire disk?

  How you are trying to access your photos? Directly (which is not possible) or by using the media browser?

  a work around is to export the photos (menu, file == > export) to a folder on the desktop and use there

• Should I Photostream if I use iCloud photo library

  Hi, I use iCloud library on my MBP, two iPhones and iPad and I still active Photostream.

  I'll try to find our knowledge if I need Photostream as well as use iCloud.  I have more than enough storage for the moment in the cloud then from what I can tell Photostream is not something that would fail me if I turned it off.  At the same time, I can't find a definitive answer anywhere!

  Grateful that if ever I decide to stop using the cloud, I can turn Photostream for my last few thousand photos.

  I also try to work if there is anyway that I can reduce the amount of space on my iPhone which currently takes about 13 GB of photo library.

  Any help would be welcome.

  Thank you

  Matt

  If you do not use my Photo Stream, turn off all devices.

  You need my photo only, stream if you also use older devices with iOS 7 or more, which can not support iCloud photo library. But if all your devices are set to synchronize with iCloud photo library, you don't need my photo stream. It might even cause problems.

• Relink 'Library of Photos' to iCloud photo library

  This question relates to a clean install of Mac OS Sierra

  I have my library of Photos in pictures file, and there all my uploaded images. When I format my computer, how can I create a link to this file with iCloud photo library, so I don't have to download anything new?

  I still did not understand the exact procedure for this and want to avoid download it all again as I have in the past. There must be a way to link to the top, since I downloaded them all already.

  You can not

  If you restore a library or repair one that it triggers a total upload to make sure that everything is in harmony, there is no way to avoid that - you just start a new library and let ICPL fill the iCloud - he loses people and all

• How to separate the Raw files of the photo library

  My photo library is over 700 GB. I have a lot of raw files that are 30 MB or more. How can we separate the raw files in a separate file or a separate library?

  Duplicate your photos library in the Finder and then remove all the BULLIES of the first library photos and all photos that are not the RAW files of the second library.

  You can search for RAW photos with a smart album:

  File > new Smart Album

  Then set the rule set to "picture is GROSS."

  Of the other library use the rule 'The Photo is not BELIEVED'.
