photos for mac suddenly acting as first opening

I use Photos on my iMac to work without problem since it has been updated since iPhoto. However, today when I opened the Photos, I was greeted with a welcome screen as if I had never used before! My Photos 9 GB library is always in the users > pictures in the folder where it has always been, so I clicked the Get Started button on the Welcome screen to see if maybe it would be just re - import library. After several minutes of nothing that appears to be happening, I Force Quit on Photos and restarted. This time I checked to see if I could file > import library, but all the options are greyed out.

I opened the disk utility and repair permissions in the hope that might help, but when I opened the Photos I was greeted with the same welcome screen.

I'm not one of those photos for iCloud synchronization at this time.  Any thoughts? Thank you!

Double click on the photo library to open it - what happens exactly?

  • When you create a calendar in Photos for Mac, I can't work on the use of more than one Photo per month

    I created a calendar using Photos for Mac (picture 1,5).

    However, I can't create each month using several photos. It is the first calendar, I've done since the change of iPhoto pictures. I know I used to be able to choose various options for layout, including several photos in iPhoto. I just hope that it is something simple that I forgot.

    Thanks in advance.

    Right-click on a photo placed and select layout options - you have options from one to seven photos here

  • where to download photos for Mac (instead of iPhoto)

    I guess I'll have to go to El Capitan, so I can use photos for Mac instead of iPhoto I crashes.

    Are the Photos of Max, a free program, and where I can get it? I'm looking on the Apple site and find information on how it is good, but no place to download. Thank you.

  • Can see, but can not access, photos of iPhotos migrate Photos for Mac

    Hello

    I transferred my my former (white) mac's iPhoto library to my new Macbook Air. I now see my iPhotos on Photos of Mac, but I'm unable to export or share (nothing happens if I click on these options), or even copy and paste. If I try to contact by e-mail or page that they do not appear on my photos via the Finder (but I can see more recent pictures no iPhotos initially). So basically I can see them, but can do something with them.

    Everyone knows about this problem?

    If this does not occur, my only thought as to what this may be the case is due to an error in the migration? I have now installed Library upgrade on my new Mac (I think I was already use when migrating on the old Mac but don't remember the details), but so that he can see my iPhotos library, it is grayed out, so I can't try and apply the upgrade to the library via new Mac. So I'm stuck again. (if it's the solution, I'm not sure it's..)

    Does anyone have any ideas what is the problem and how to fix? Where is possible it's just a failure of Apple/iphotos old photos have no Photos for Mac features?

    Thank you!!

    It certainly has the feature.

    Have you tried to repair the library: back to the top and then press the command and option (or alt) keys all by launching Photos. The dialog that allows you to rebuild.

  • What is a good replacement for Photos for Mac

    I got my photos sorted by year and month in iPhoto, app Photos The destroyed that.  What is a good replacement for Photos for Mac I had digital pictures in 1999.  It will take me months to recover.  So what is a good replacement, needless organized storage edition, just logical.   Is there a product that I can export Photos to the?   The Photos application is too slow and freezes; It's just all around a mediocre product.

    Migrating from iPHoto to Photos doesn't "destroy" anything - it keeps your albums events and converted into albums - pictures 2.0 vs iPhoto 9.6.1: features and capabilities - how many Photos handles content and metadata for iPhoto and Aperture - Apple Support

    and of course iPhotos 9.6.1 still works very well - if you do not keep your system up to date see can't update iPhoto because it is not available in the App Store

    You can export Photos in keeping the Organization of moments - you can export iPhotos keeping the exporting from iPhoto event organization

    As to products - it's your choice - you can use the finder to organize into folders and preview to display pictures - or you can use one of the many programs available ranging from the free to the very expensive

    I use Photos so am not upward on the different options and I suspect most of the volunteers here are the same and the answer is going to be personal anyway - no one but yo can do

  • Photos for Mac behaves VERY strangely since the upgrade to Sierra

    Hi all.

    I have improved my mid 2010 MacBook Pro for macOS Sierra September 21.

    The first time I launched the Photos app after the upgrade, I got the usual message on photo library updated, but when that reaches 100%, I noticed that he was missing a large number of thumbnails in my library. The photos in question were display in miniature (or 'moments') view as pale gray rectangles with a cloud icon in their breast.

    I don't immediately panic, because I assumed that they would gradually repopulate for a little while. I got "Storage optimize Mac", the value of preferences so all of my original pictures must be in iCloud. I have a Time Capsule, make automatic backups, and I made a backup Time Machine on which, immediately before the upgrade, so I am reasonably confident that I did not really lose my photos, (and all of my pictures and their thumbnails are present & correct on my iPhone).

    But, almost a fortnight after the upgrade, most of my thumb nails is always reported missing since the Photos of Mac application, which makes it very difficult to find pictures of course.

    Last night I noticed that the Photos app showed 'Uploading photos 10 985 nnnnnn' at the foot of the view of the times, with the first digit decreases slowly, so I disabled the options to ensure that my Mac doesn't go to sleep and I let it run until the download was complete energy saving. Then, he showed "updated... "at the foot of the view of the times for a while.

    I was hoping that my thumb nail would be back after that, but they are not!

    It seems that the Photos app is not sync with my iCloud storage, for any reason, or at least if it does not in fact what it has synchronized.

    A double click on these thumbnails blank to open the photo is not consistent either. On some that I try to open, they do not open, and when I return to the thumbnail display the thumbnail is now also. But on others I try to open I just see a completely white area where the photo should be. However (and this is really weird!) when I return to the thumbnail display after those I see very very briefly the photos as they will shrink to the size of the thumbnail, and then they are virgins thumbnails with clouds still...

    I wonder if I should change the preference of Photos of 'optimization of storage' to 'download the originals' in an effort to recover my thumb nails. It seems that I have almost 62 GB of free space on my Mac, and my Gallery of photos shows that there are currently 31GB. Or do I have to re - install the Photos app? (Is it possible?)

    Or is there a better solution to the problem please?

    Thank you for all the helpful tips.

  • Using facial recognition on Photos for Mac (Sierra)

    It seems that iOS synchronize recognition with Photos of the faces for Mac, nor between iOS devices, which is disappointing.

    However, the face recognition function seems to be a great improvement in the identification of faces (maybe wrong, but it does not use the faces generated by manual detection).

    I'm working on how this happens when I leave the Mac from one day to the next.  He says that the faces are profiled in the Photos app is not in use and that the Mac is plugged.

    Does this mean that the Photos app must be closed and the trendy Mac and open? Or if the app can be open (but not in use) and closes the Mac?

    Thank you

  • Such Photos for Mac works on El Capitan?

    I measured exceeds internet satellite. Yes, I know you think it's deplorable, but it's that or dial-up, where we live.

    I had a program of transfer of massive amounts of data at speeds that I didn't even know was possible thanks to our service, over 1 GB in 3 minutes. After some detective work, it seems that the pictures for Mac app was auto-charger on my Icloud account. I was able to stop the program with Little Snitch. Since then, I found the setting in the preferences to stop.

    So tell me if my interpretation of the pictures is correct: the default setting is it auto-upload of photos on your Mac to your Icloud account and it will also automatically download photos from any iPad or iPhone recorded via your Mac with the same account.

    My understanding is correct?

    Thanks in advance.

    So tell me if my interpretation of the pictures is correct: the default setting is it auto-upload of photos on your Mac to your Icloud account and it will also automatically download photos from any iPad or iPhone recorded via your Mac with the same account.

    This is not the default. You must activate iCloud in the pictures library > Preferences > iCloud for this to happen, also in system preferences > iCloud > Photos.

    And being before you allow it to make sure that, if you are registered with a storage with enough storage iCloud iCloud plan hold a large and growing photo library.  Without a subscription you have 5 GB of free cloud storage, and it won't work, if your photo library is large.

    If enabled, iCloud photo library will keep your library synchronized and identical Photos on all devices that have iCloud library enabled and use the same AppleID to iCloud.     iCloud Photo library FAQ - Apple Support https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT204264

  • is it possible to import photos from an iPad in smart folders in Photos for Mac

    Is it possible to import photos from the Photos on an iPad to smart for Mac photo albums?

    You cannot import into the smart albums.  You can only import into your photo library and then create a smart album with the constraints that you want.

    To import photos from your iPad connect it to your Mac with a USB connection and download the photos you want on your Mac in your photo library.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro for Mac CC 2015 does not open.

    Hi, I, ve downloaded Adobe Premiere Pro for Mac CC 2015 and spin OS Yosemite.

    When I try to launch the app, it goes through the boot process and then closes (or does nothing).

    I tried to uninstall and then re - install, but the same thing happens.

    Anyone got any ideas?

    Thanks in advance.

    Having had an online chat with Adobe, they have taken control of my mac and came to the conclusion that it was a permissions problem. They advised me to repair permissions with disk utility. I did and it did not work.

    They also advised me to create another administrator user account, it worked, however it is not convenient switch to another user account.

    In the end I did some research and found this solution.

    If you right-click the hard drive icon, info, unlock the padlock at the bottom and give full read & write to (your username (me)) it will ask you if you want to apply to all the files, I said yes.

    It took a few minutes to complete and then voila, I could open up, no problem.

    I hope this helps.

  • Synchronization of photos through photo for Mac vs iCloud

    Hi all! I searched for days for assistance with this and can't find anything, so first of all, I apologize if it's there and I have not found.

    I am running OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.6, Photos 1.5 and have an iPhone 6 more on iOS 9.3.5

    I have tons of photos and videos on my phone. I would like to delete some of them, but I use iCloud. I understand that iCloud will remove my photos from all devices when I delete it from my phone, so I have not been removing whatever it is I want to keep.

    If I do a sync of my photos and videos on my Mac via a USB port, my pictures will be in a permanent folder on my hard drive? I hope that in this way I can remove what is in my phone but I know that they are saved in my library of Photos.

    Another question (although the partners), it is that I currently have tried to download my photos and video for days now, and it always seems that miss me a lot of my photos. Should I be worried, or just let it run its course? I'm not more connected via USB, but Photos program says that it is still important. Where it is important if my phone is not plugged? I see some of my photos in the sidebar of Photos, but then when I click on all pictures MANY of my photos are totally absent. I see photos of iCloud under the Photos heading, but only photos imported in all Photos?

    Thank you in advance.

    I found the last part of my question, but I'm still looking to see if the photos are constantly in my library of Photos on my drive hard if I delete them from my phone, because I use iCloud.
