Adding the location to a photo in Yosemite
Does anyone know how to add a photo's location from within the Mac Photos app (or at least without any 3rd party software and iPhoto).

Where is the location of isight photo for new osx account?
Hi all - my first post....
When a new account is created and the (inbuilt) isight camera is used to take a login photo, where on the OS is that photo stored and in what format?
Sorry if it's basic, but I've searched high and low for ages...

While your question may be basic, the answer is not so simple.
Yours is actually a question about how OS X works rather than iSight.
See Niel's Nov, 2006, response to Bernhard VonZastrow1's question in:
http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=3532758
Because this old post has been archived and will be removed from view before this topic is, I quote Niel's response here for the record:
The login picture can be anywhere on the hard disk; to find its current location, open the NetInfo Manager in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder, and check the picture property for your user account.
To find this property for a system other than the one currently used to start up the computer, open the Terminal application in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and run the following command:
sudo nicl -raw '/Volumes/volumename/private/var/db/netinfo/local.nidb' -read users/username/
This command will prompt you for your administrator password; nothing will appear in the Terminal window while it is being typed. Look for the picture line in the output to find the path.

If Niel's response answers your question, please let us know, but wait for Niel to post here so you can credit him with the "Solved" points he deserves.
If you need more help of info about this topic, you might want to post in Tiger Forums > Administration, Accounts & Login Discussions. Niel and other very smart folks will help you with your OS X questions there.

HT204478 How do i change the location of a photo in new Photo
I just upgraded to the new photo app on my mac and the locations that it says where the photos were taken is wrong, but I don't see a way to change it. Help please. Thanks. H
To clarify the metatag location within the photo, not the location of the photos on my hard drive.I requested Apple to include the same design feature next software update, to edit location metadata.
However the reason why I need to edit photos is because Photos imports the files incorrectly. As a result, any photo NOT taken from a geosynced iPhone automatically is imported as a file photographed in Tibet or Kyrgyzstan. What is going on here?

I can't figure out how to change this. I have an older PC laptop that barely has enough space to operate with itunes on it. I have most everything on an external hard drive and would like to move the photo stream folder there.
Do you mean on your Time Machine backup drive? Or are you actually accessing the backup? In either case you shouldn't be doing that. If you haven't space on your HDD to store the iTunes Library, then at least put it on another external drive.
Since you did not provide any information about what's actually "on my time machine," here's what you would do. The entire iTunes folder should be stored in the /Home/Music/ folder. Within that folder you would have three folders: imm Media, iTunes, and iTunes Playlists. -
How can i set the location of my pictures in photos app for mac osx?
Not every photo I import into my MacBook have all the metadata in them. iPhoto allowed for setting the location, but in Photos I cannot manage to do so. Is there another way to do it or perhaps it's coming with an update?
Thanks

Photos 1.0Adding location data is not yet supported in Photos.
And we do not know, if future updates will support this feature. It might help, if you send back feedback to Apple with a feature request. You can use this form: Apple - Photos - Feedback
As a work-around, use third party apps to add location data before you import the photos to Photos.
You could, for example, first import to iPhoto, add the locations, batch change the titles and captions, do all the things that are not yet supported in the new Photos, then export the photos from iPhoto and import them to Photos.
Or use the free exiftool, if you like the Terminal.
See: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/exiftool_pod.html#geotagging_exampl es
To install exiftool: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/%7Ephil/exiftool/install.html
Other convenient apps are Jetphoto Studio, Geotagalog, there are many more ..
I use Jetphoto Studio, but it is not free. -

I edit the location in the info pane, but it doesn't show up in Places!
Hi everyone, I have recently started to use iPhoto '09 but having a little difficult with Places. I do not have geotagging, so I am editing the location of my photos manually (nothing too specific, just the city). When I first attempted it, I used the info pane for the event, added the city (saw a pin drop in the appropriate location on the mini-map in the info pane) and then clicked done. However when I went to the Places window...no pins were on the world map!
I closed the computer and decided to try again the next day. Although I cannot imagine I did anything different, this time it worked! Yeah!
But today I added new photos and again edited the locations in the info pane (clicked the little 'i' in the right bottom corner), but while the info pane shows the correct location both in words (Location) and on the mini-map...when I go to the Places window, the pins are no where to be found (only see the pins from the previous day).
Am I missing something simple here? It's driving me nuts! hahaha...I'm going from memory since this is done from work, but I believe you have to use semi-complete addresses (IE., 'Chicago' by itself won't work, you need to use 'Chicago, Il.' or 'Chicago, Illinois'. IF the address is for a 'Place' iPhoto knows (and it knows hundreds if not thousands of places) it will pop up and allow you to choose that location. If nothing happens, that probably means iPhoto doesn't know that 'Place' and you need to provide a more complete or more accurate name for it. Like I say, try getting in the habit of using at least a City and State... you can also choose the 'Locate on Map' feature and it will actually show a map of the place and you can Move the Pin to exactly where you want it, choose from Satellite View, Terrain View, Map view, zoom in, out, or enlarge or reduce the area covered by the Pin (the Blue Circle around the pin. Hope this helps...

Can I move the location of my iCloud Drive and/or Photos Folder?
Hi, I currently own an iPad Air1 64GB with current IOS, as well as 2 Windows 7 64b PCs and one brand new Windows 8.1 Pro 64b PC. On my two desktops, is there any way to move the location of the iCloud Drive Folder from its default location at C:\Users\Brian A, which is on my System SSD, to my 6TB RAID5 Data Array. I'd rather not take up room on my SSD. If I cannot move it, this will lead me to using iCloud for little more than backup. and make it unlikely I'd ever pay for more space. I'd think at this point, more than a few people have SSD drives they might not want storage/data folders on.
I am clueless as to what Apple is attempting with iCloud Photos, as that only ever comes up as a link and under Devices and Drives, with no folder location, and no properties, seemingly making it immoveable. I'm not sure what the thought process was there, but this makes my want to use it even less than iCloud Drive.Drag it there, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down, and point it to the new location.

I have an external hard drive that I would like to pre-make a new folder before I import photos into it. Even though I added the new folder app to by toolbar, it is not highlighted and I cannot use it. It will only let me create new folders if I upload to iPhoto. That is not where I want to store everything. So I need to figure out how to turn on or activate New Folder on my toolbar for all possible downloading options.
If it's a drive that you've previously used with a PC, just double-check the format - click the drive once on the desktop to highlight it, and click cmd-i (the command key and the i key together) to see the Info window. That will tell you, under Format, how it's formatted.
If it's "NTFS", that's the current Windows format. You can read but not write to it with a Mac. If you want full read/write access, you should look into Paragon NTFS, which allows you to do both. Note that some features of te Mac (Time Machine, for example) will only work with Mac-formatted drives.

How can I change the date or location of multiple photos in Photos OSX?
In iPhoto it was easy to change the date, description, title or even the location of a bunch of photos at the same time, is it possible to make it in the new Photos App?
It's possible to adjust the date and time, and pretty much the same way as in iPhoto. For the others, search the Photos forum, folks have posted Applescripts that will help.

i was somewhat helped. but still i am getting problem to delete my photos that i synced last night via itunes on my pc. problem is i deleted the photos from the location on pc after getting them on my device, so i am unable to resync them, deselect and remove them as per i was helped by this communities i am new to use apple products so please help me as it has taken lot of memory in my device/
you say:- You need to keep the photos on the computer, since the ones that are synced to the iPhone are of reduced resolution and cannot be moved anywhere else. You can always remove the other folder if you do not want it.
BUT I DONT HAVE THE PHOTOS ON MY DEVICE(MY PC) I DELETED THEM.
further i tried this:-If you do not have another folder of photos that you can sync, then create an empty folder on the computer and sync that folder. That will delete the photos from the iPhone, then you can go back to iTunes, remove the checkmark by the empty folder and sync again, removing that folder from the iPhone.
Trying this it just removed the checkmark nothing else it did
i think i have no other option rather than to keep those synced photos on my device> -
I can't get my subscribed work calendar to show up on iCloud. I have deleted it and re-added it. I have made sure that the location is set to iCloud. Ideas?
Apple have not announced any such plans. It was the same during the whole MobileMe period from 2008 - 2012, so it doesn't seem to be a high priority issue for Apple.

On iPhone 6, How do I display the date, time, and location where a photo was taken
On my previous iPhone (4S), I used the "Info' option in iPhoto to see where and when a photo was taken. I have a new phone (iOS 8.3) and iPhoto is not supported, so I have to use the Photos app. I cannot figure out how to see where and when a photo was taken in the Photos app. Thanks for any insight anyone can provide.
Hello there, marklewis.
When wanting to find location information of photos on your iOS device in iOS 8, the online User Guide provides some great information for how to search:
View photos and videos - iPhone
View by location. While viewing by year or by collection, tap . Photos and videos that include location information appear on a map, showing where they were taken.
While viewing a photo or video, tap to show and hide the controls. Swipe left or right to go forward or backward.
Search photos. From Albums or Photos, tap to search by date (month and year), or place (city and state). Search also keeps your Recent Searches on hand and gives you a list of suggested searches.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.
