I've tried to move library file to onedrive, but it's failed. Do you have any idea ?

[patricklaundra]

Mr. Fell, I’ve looked at a number of your videos and some other presenters as well, but don’t find what I’m looking for help on. I don’t use a Mac. I do have a Windows 10 machine, but don’t do much in iCloud with it. I primarily use my iPad (256 GB, lots of free space) and an iPhone (64GB, with 13GB free). I use Photo Stream so I can pick and choose what photos get saved to the respective devices; mostly iPhone to iPad as I take very few photos with my iPad. Since Photo Stream is going away, I’ve decide to start using Apple Photos. What I’m not clear on is what will happen when I turn off Photo Stream, turn on, Apple Photos. Will I wind up with a ton duplicates as my two devices upload photos to iCloud - many of the photos on my iPad are duplicates of those on my iPhone, some not? I also want to keep local copies of photos on both devices? What impact if any will this have on my Albums on my respective devices? How does the Recently Deleted folders work on the respective devices? Thanks for any help you can give me.

Your videos are great! My iMac photo libraries are good, finally. I have my photos on an external Harddrive and when I attach it to my MacBook Pro, it shows up but it says it can’t be used by my MacBook Pro ? My MacBook Pro needs replacing bc it’s almost out of memory storage, but I thought I’d still b able to use it and do some editing on LR and use the external Harddrive? Any thoughts? Thank you

Joel, Thank you so much for all your tutorial. You are fantastic 👍👍🥇🏆🇺🇸🇮🇱

I have found that Photos does not maintain the shot order of pictures when they are imported or when pictures are copied from one album to another. How can I get Photos to keep the same order. I never had these problems when using iPhoto.

After I subscribed, this is the first vid to watch. Feel like to learn again Photos from the beginning.

I’m new to MacBook and own the 2021 m1 pro .. when I import the images to Mac I put them in photos app .. but later when I want to import them to Lightroom photoshop etc I can’t do that I can’t find photos there .. even I can export images form Lightroom to photos app, why ?

[ChristiannTyler]

One thing I don’t understand is how to avoid having loads of photos in your import folder? Is this avoidable? I noticed if I delete from imports even after putting them into a folder they delete from the entire MacBook.

Great video, only the music get's annoying, could be a little bit quiter. :)

[stanleynowak]

Joel, Bro as a former professional radio DJ for a major network take my word for it. We all know that you can't see our faces. However, you're learning.

[mostirreverent]

with the photos imported, where the date is given as a title, is there a way to also give that date a name, like iPhoto used to let you do?

Question: am a photographer and I take over 1, 000 photos a shoot. Most photos are exactly the same with very minor differences like a small branch in the way or a fly in the picture. I want to be able to view the photo full screen before import. Is that possible? I'm using mac

[richardfichera]

Irreconcilable differences with my Windows 10 system have resulted in a parting of the ways, and I am expecting my new 27" iMac to arrive momentarily. Will the Apple migration tool successfully pull over all my pictures or should I wait and import directly from an external hard drive that I have cleverly filled with my documents and pictures?

So far I am really enjoying your videos - very clear and task-oriented approach to teaching as opposed to "here are 10 best tips" or "here is my superior way to do things".

Thank you Joel, I always got new information from your videos .. I have question for you .. when I try to open one of my library I got error msg said : The library could not be opened, Photos was unable to open the library "iPhoto Library" ( 4302 ) .. Have you ever see same this msg ? Do you know how to open this library ?

[agalIam]

how to get pics to the desktop after editing.. it just wont let me? after decades of doing this

[beniciomoldenado]

I found your channel by accident and subscribed immediately. Being a retired IT guy, I know my way around a computer reasonably well and have been using Apple products since I retired. One thing that has always confused me is Apple's Photos app. Before Apple, I used Windows machines and did a fair amount of work in Photoshop and Lightroom so my photos are in a Lightroom library. I have never been sure about the purpose of the Apple Photo app. Your video shows how to get photos into the Photo library on my Mac but what next. Is this app supposed to be another photo editor? I don't really need another one. What I am hoping to do is have the ability to move photos back and forth from my computer to my iPhone. I may have photos in my Lightroom library that have been edited and I want to move them to my phone, and vice versa. I cannot find a way to do that. Am I trying to do something the Photos app was not intended to do? If you know the answer, great; or if you know a place where I can learn how to do that, even better. Thanks!
