Photos app and image name

I recently migrated to the Photos app on my Mac. I previously used iPhoto. I would often rename my images from my iPhone (ex. 001, 002, 003) in order so that I can burn them to a DVD. However, when the album was migrated to Photos, it no longer shows the image name. I have to manually go in and add a title. Is there a way that the original image name that was given will show up in the Photos app?

I've tried several other browsers, but none of them have worked. iCabMobile looked promising as it has it's own uploading feature, but it didn't work.
I've been in contact with the site admins, so we'll see how that goes.
Thanks for all your comments.

Photos App and images that have no place data

I am considering moving to the Photos App from iPhoto, but I have a large number of old photos and documents that have no location data. Most were scanned several years ago, such as genealogy records, birth certificates, etc. How does Photos handle these images? Do they appear in Collections and Moments like other images even though they have no location data? Must I assign each some arbitrary location if I want the images to stay together? Should I also alter the "time the image was taken" as well? If not, I assume they will be sorted according to the time the image was added to iPhoto.

Photos without location data will appear in the moments based on the date. If the photos have no capture date, the file creation date will be used.
Must I assign each some arbitrary location if I want the images to stay together?
How are your photos stored now? If the are in iPhoto you could assign places to them and adjust the dates of your scans to group them by date in a meaningful way before migrating the library to Photos.
But photos will also allow you to create albums or smart albums based on keywords and other tags. iPhoto events will be mapped to albums.

How do I back-up ALL of my Contacts, Texts, Photos, Apps and Music???

How do I back-up ALL of my Contacts, Texts, Photos, Apps and Music???

backup via icloud or itunes http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

Under Option Summary, the usage includes AUDIO, PHOTOS, APPS and OTHERS. What are the things included in OTHERS? It is using up my storage space.

To add to Nick's comments, "Other" is typically approximately 1 gigabyte. Occasionally for some users, it gets much (many times) bigger because they have some corrupt files. If that's the case, it's best to restore the iPhone.
Plug the iPhone into (current) iTunes, let it sync, then choose "Restore" on the right. If restoring from the iPhone backup does not help, then restore (again) as new and then manaully sync the iPhone.

Will the new photos app and icloud photos library support all formats of pics and videos from my iphoto library?

I will be migrating my whole 200gb iPhoto library 9.5.1 mavericks over to Yosemite iPhoto 9.6.1 and then migrate to the new photos app and hopefully to the icloud.photos online. Does this all support all of my formats such as AVI videos in my iPhoto library. I don't want to lose those through migration.

I have this 31% issue too - when I attempt to update my iPhoto library to the new Photo app.
I have a few libraries - one on my mac, and two on a NAS. I access the NAS via wifi.
The mac based library did update, but the two network albums have yet to be successfully migrated over to Photo.
It's driving me insane!!!

Hi,
How to get the font names and image name in Quarkxpress document file using java?.
Is any third party packages for getting font n image names in QXD?

I believe this may solve it:
Open System Preferences and go to Accessibility. Next, select Display from the source list along the left, then check the box labelled Reduce transparency.

TouchSmart Photo App and Support for PNG files?

Please, somebody tell me that I'm crazy and that the TouchSmart Photo app really can be made to support PNG file types! If not, who designed this software!? Can't browse the network for content stored on an HP MediaSmart Server. Can't view PNG files in the Photo application. What else can't this software do!?

Hi ChrisT,
Thanks for the suggestion. I went to:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=4148...
Which is the software update page for my model. I see 10 items under Software Solutions, 8 of which are just video tutorial updates, not actual application updates (and none of those are for the Photo App). The two application updates are:
HP TouchSmart Recipe Box Application Update
HP Support Assistant Application Update
So, are you saying that PNG file types are supported in some versions of the Photo App and I don't have the correct version? Or in other words, what am I missing?
Cheers,
D

HT4236 So if I update my iphone, I will lose all of my photos, apps and music on my phone?

So if i update my iphone, I will lose all of my photos, apps and music..correct? None of these things are saved on my computer [except some of the music]...

You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would any digital camera. this is covered in the manual.
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
You should transfer all itunes purchases from the iphone to the computer: File>Transfer Purchases.

Capabilities of Photos App and Aperture

I see a lot of discussion about the new Photos app as being a replacement for Aperture, but most of these discussions seem to ignore many of the key capabilities which make Aperture important to many professionals. And the idea that many of these have been removed but will reappear sometime in the future is ridiculous--nobody could run a business using a tool like that. Are you supposed to go out of business until the time in the future when Apple reintroduces the feature you depended on?
I'm also a little skeptical about how "modern" the app is and what a "streamlined interface" it has if it lacks many key features that already existed in the present software and which professional photographers and heavy Aperture users counted on. It's easy to "streamline" an interface if you just remove functionality. What many of the "reviewers" do not seem to understand is that it could take a year of more of heavy work to reconstruct an existing Aperture library with all that it contains because it is not just a hierarchical collection of pictures with keywords.
If you've been looking at Photos, maybe you can fill in some of the gaps in knowledge of features.
--Will Photos retain the edits of Photos in an Aperture library? Pros may have tens of thousands of photos (or more) with edits done over the past 8 years. Suggesting all of these need to be redone is kind of ridiculous. And why would any photographer ever trust an Apple product again if a corporate move resulted in that!
--If some "tools" are missing, then all of them might as well be missing as far as importing an Aperture library since you wouldn't really know which of your tens of thousands of pictures which had been edited were affected. You couldn't trust the "versions" in your library as some would be missing some of the edits. Is there a list of which "tools" are missing? Almost all of them are pretty heavily used by large numbers of people.
--I hear that the "Curves" tool is missing. What? This is one of the most heavily used tools of all, and one that was added to Aperture because of popular demand. What happens to all the edits done with the Curves tool? Do they disappear, making the library of edits useless? What possible reason would there be for removing something that important?
--Does Photos feature a Web journal which allows collections of photos to be output as Web pages to be shared with clients or others?
--Can I exports groups of files in any size and format (RAW, jpeg, TIFF, PNG., etc.)? You have to be able to do this for the product to be of any use to a professional at all.
--Can I take advantage of multiple monitors to do things like show sets of photos and controls on one monitor and a full-screen image on the other?
--I've hear the flags feature is gone. Why? What happens to all the images I've flagged through the years for one reason or another? Are pros supposed to go through 100,000 images they have stored in their library and flag them all again?
--I've heard that "Stacks" is missing. For professional sports photographers, that is essential. You take bursts of images, you want them stacked on import so it's easy to pick the best from a burst and quickly get rid of the best. Why on earth would this be removed? It was one of the key selling points in early Aperture marketing and a heavily used feature.
--Does the new app show the focus points, hot and cold areas, etc. on the pictures if so desired?
--What happens to books, smart albums, Web journals, projects, folder, albums, etc. One heck of a lot of time has gone in to creating all of these.
--Can I search using any metadata, keyword, etc.?
--Can I customize my display to see the metadata I want in a particular situation. I certainly don't want to see all of it, but there are key fields which may be especially important.
--How long would it take to "import" an Aperture library of, say, 500 gigabytes, into Photos? Would this would require another storage medium to store the new library as well as the old? I'm a little wary here, as the Aperture to Aperture 3 upgrade took 24 hours or more for many people.
--Is iCloud storage of photos really practical for professionals who may have libraries of a terabyte or more? How exactly would all of this information migrate into the cloud? Who's got the bandwith for that?
Anyone who could do a proper comparison of Aperture and Photos, from the perspective of a sophisticated Aperture, and not just gush about how it's an improvement on iPhoto, would be much appreciated. I haven't been able to figure much out from what I've seen so far.

The app is in beta and we're not allowed comment. That's standard policy. What you can glean from reading around the web is the same that we can. My read on what I've seen: It's a step-up for iPhoto uses but for Pro users it's time to look elsewhere. It's not a robust Pro tool.

Can I delete photos app and start again? How?

Ok, I've been really daft and did not ever know that there was a photo trash can in iPhoto. So for years in iPhoto I've been deleting or rather just removing photos and not thinking much of it.
Just did my mac updates and notice I now have Photo. Open up and wow I now have 100s of photos that I thought I had deleted, some years ago.
With over 16,000 photos in total this is not a job I want to go through sifting and deleting the rubbish again.
I opened my time machine but can't work out how to go back. Is there any way of wiping photo and then starting again? It didn't ask me about importing or merging from iPhoto it seemed to have done it on its own. If the photos are still in iPhoto can I delete photo and reinstall after fixing the issue in iPhoto?
Afraid to do something and mess it up further and so looking for advice from someone who actually knows what they are doing!
Thank you!

You can't delete the Photos app as it's part of the system. You can continue to use iPhoto and your iPhoto library. The iPhoto app is still in the Applications folder. If it's iPhoto 9.6.1 it will work with 10.10.3. If it's not try getting 9.6.1 from the App Store following Terence Devlin's instructions below:

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
Regarding the "deleted" photos did you systematically empty the iPhoto Trash bin each time you delete photos?

Photos App and Wallpaper Problems in iOS8

     I'm a fan of photos of Apple because of its retina display (I'm using an iPod touch 5th Gen 32gb)... it gives my images the best quality and real sharpness of every image. But when I updated to iOS8. I found some tiny problems.. well it is tiny, but for a Multimedia artist like me.. its a very BIG DEAL.
The Photos App:
     Whenever I open up some of my photography in the Photos app, it loses it's sharpness. it is not that sharp, and to sharpen it.. i had to zoom in and zoom out. Unlike in the older versions of iOS, the photos (in any given resolution) will be automatically sharp when I slide through my images. In iOS8, it simply don't and it is really frustrating. Try it yourself to see the difference.
note: my photography is straight from my DSLR camera then I just put it in my iPod. You may suggest to resize it, yeah I do, but in iOS7 the sharpness is really good.
Changing my wallpaper:
     I always make my own high quality wallpaper through my photography and my works. And my wallpaper always looked very sharp and great. I haven't changed my wallpaper since I updated to iOS8, last night I created a new wallpaper (in Photoshop) and when I changed it to my iPod... the quality is just not that good. (Problem is similar to the Photos app) The sharpness is just not there. I can't appreciate my "Retina" display anymore.
Hope you guys hear this out and fix it.
P.S. in iOS7 I do the similar stuff and it works just fine, in iOS8 it really doesn't and it is really irritating.

Applescript, the new Photos app and Instagram

I'm using applescript to add images to the new (Yosemite) Photos app. I'm using the following code:
tell application "Photos"
     set ImageFile to POSIX file "~/photos/test.jpg"
     set DestinationAlbumName to "Instagram"
     if not (exists container named DestinationAlbumName) then
          make new album named DestinationAlbumName
     end if
import ImageFile into container named DestinationAlbumName with skip check duplicates
end tell
On the face of it this all works just dandy; album is created if it needs to be, image comes in fine. However, heading on over to Instagram, iphone of iPad, when I look for the image I've just added it's not there, nor is the album. It's in the Photos app on the phone and tablet, just Instagram refuses to see it.
If I add an album with an image in it by hand, Instagram sees it.
Apple have precious little to offer by way of examples on this, does anyone have anything to offer?
Thanks.

If I delete then create the folder by hand back on the Macbook where I ran the script, I can then see it when I browse the Photo library back in Instagram.
Try doing that and then running a script to get the properties of that folder.
tell application "Photos"
properties of container named "Instagram"
end tell
Look at the result. Then delete that folder, run your import script and create the folder, then get the properties again. Compare the two property lists. Is there any difference?

New Photos app and iCloud backup.

I have recently downloaded a beta version of the new Apple Photos App brought in to replace iPhoto. It stores all your images in the Cloud so they can be accessed and viewed on all your devices without the limitations of photo stream. This is what I gather anyway. What is not clear is whether original copies of all my photos will remain on my hard drive, or will they only be backed up in the Cloud and then deleted from computer? I know eventually everything is going to be stored in the Cloud, but I would still like to all my photographs backed up on my mac as well!

You can't at this time. Photos is still in beta and is lacking quite a few of the features that iPhoto has. I strongly suggest you continue with iPhoto until Photos is officially released and has all of the features in iPhoto that you require. Right now it's really not ready for prime time IMO.

How do I delete the Photos App and go back to original

I did not back-up before updating, my bad. Can I simply delete Photos ??. Really think the new Photos app is about ten steps backwards, I tried to EDIT a photo and was sorely disappointed. Any help is appreciated.

The problem is Photos migrates your iPhoto Library file to a file name of Photos Library.photoslibrary. However, it saves this migrated version as iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary. So, you can open this file with iPhoto and you will receive a warning that tells you adding photos or editing will not be seen in Photo. And it will change the name of the file to iPhoto Library.photoslibrary. No big deal since you won't use Photo. You can also duplicate that file and rename it back to iPhoto Library, open it with iPhoto and do the Repair when promoted.
Just keep Photo around in your /Applications folder and use iPhoto again.

Does the new Photo app duplicate images on import (wasting drive space), or simply reference them like Picasa does?

Picasa simply references the original images, and any edits you make to the images leaves the original unharmed. This is the grown-up way to manage images. iPhoto and all, I really mean ALL other photo apps make this mistake of duplication of images on import - but not Picasa. I had iPhoto crash numerous times because it could not handle a large number of images. Picasa is way better than any Apple app thus far - so I'm wondering - does this new Photo app make the same mistake as all the others except Picasa? If it does duplication on imports, then it's doing it wrong.

Instead of instinctively condescending like a grouch, you could have simply replied with the right answer and made me look bad, instead you only made yourself look bad Terence The Devil.
The real answer is that there is an option in the preferences that allows one to select whether to copy images in or just reference them.
Under Importing all one has to do is Un-check the "Copy items to the Photos Library" setting.
The only issue I have at this point is that it should be un-checked as a default.
