Photos is a completely new designed photo application, designed for Yosemite and the MacOS X versions to come. Many differences are under the hood. It uses the new system libraries and frameworks for more efficient image processing on the new powerful macs, like the mac pro, it is extensible by app extensions, if other developers will add functionality, and most important, it brings integration with iCloud Photo Library. With Photos you can store your photo library in iCloud and sync it across all devices.
Some features are still missing however, and you can continue to use iPhoto, if you like. Or create a small Photos library for testing and explore Photos, while keeping your main libraries in iPhoto.

My photo stream folder in new Photos app for Mac

i tried to use and understand the new photos app for mac, and found that my photo stream folder is continuously hide (I didn't set my photos in the app to store to iCloud library), i don't know if this is a bug or something, the only way to fix the problem is to go to preferences and uncheck and recheck the photostream
anyone has the same problem? or how to fix this problem permanently?

At that size, what copied over is just the reference to the video file, not the video itself. Some suggestions:
1. In iPhoto, select the video, then in the File menu select Reveal in Finder. If this finds the original file, add it manually to Photos.
2. Perform a Spotlight search for the video file title/name. If found, move to Photos.
3. If you imported or modified the files in iMovie, launch it and find/export the originals from there.

How do I change a bad location in the new photos app for Mac?

I am not sure why but hundreds of my photos have the wrong location stored for them. Is there any easy way to change them in the new Photos app for mac?
Thanks

You can't at the present time. There's no such capability in the current version of Photos.
Tell Apple what additional features you want in Photos via both http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html and http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html since they don't have a feedback page for Photos as yet.

New photo app for mac - all photos lost?

I saw there were updates for my mac at the app store so without looking just did the update. Took forever and now I find that I photo has gone and I have a new Photos app. I have been trying to open it and for the last hour it just says "preparing library 1% complete". It is not progressing and I can't shut it. Nothing is happening and I am really worried that all my hundreds of very precious photos have disappeared.
Can anyone give me some reassurance on this.
<Edited by Host>

Your photos are likely fine, however are you saying your updated your computer and do not back it up regularly? If so then you photo library is not only likely fine it also has a backup. If you have not been backing up, you should begin doing this regularly. Sooner or later without a backup plan you will lose precious data. Apple has included Time Machine in OS X for about 7 years so there is absolutely no reason to not be backing up.
So take a deep breath, relax and let Photo's do it's thing and then learn how to use the app.
Finally, giving idle threats to Apple serves no value. I have asked the moderator to remove that portion of your post as it is off topic and violates the Terms of Use you agreed to.

Cannot play video files in new photos app for mac

Hi There,
I recently moved from an older imac to a new one (both had Yosemite installed). I moved my photos over by copying my old photo library file and pasting it to replace the same file on the new mac. All my photos came over fine, however i am unable to play some of the video files. I get a warning saying 'Cannot Play file - Photos cannot play this video. Do you want to try opening it in Quicktime Player?'. If i try in quicktime it won't open either.
What's strange is that when i go to the info tab for these videos they show as .MOV files that were taken on an iphone 5S - but they are very small in size - 5KB or so. Perhaps the size of the thumbnail image only. Any ideas on how i can fix this? When i open them on the old mac i get an other warning issue stating 'The necessary data reference could not be resolved'
Thanks in advance for any help.
John

RAW import from Lumix FZ1000 not working in new Photo app for Mac

I am not able to import from my Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 the RAW pictures into the new Photo Mac app. They are even not shown when inserting the SD card into my MBP.
I am only able to get the JPEG ones.
FZ1000 RAW is supported according Apple and was working with previous app.
Any idea?

I am able to import them, but I cannot edit them as RAW files. They behave like .jpegs. So correcting exposure for example is a horrible experience. My 5D Mark II files behave as they did in Aperture, so it is the FZ1000 RAWs in particular that are problematic.

Alternative to new Photos app for Mac?

I just upgraded, or got upgraded, and cannot stand the new Photos and its facial-recognition feature (and mostly, the apparent inability to turn it off). Now when I open Photos, I see my dead parents, my ex and all I want to see is .. not them. I think it's time to move away from Photos. Any decent alternatives? Google searches don't show much that is current. Thanks.

iPhoto is still in your applications folder and your original iPhoto Library is intact. If you remove the new Photos Library file and then open iPhoto and select the old iPhoto Library, you can just use iPhoto for a while longer. Maybe Apple will eventually get a clue and fix this mess.

Differences between BI Mobile 4.0 for iPad and SAP BO Mobile 3.0

Hi:
What's the difference between BI Mobile 4.0 for iPad and SAP BO Mobile 3.0
I need something licence for BI Mobile 4?
Mobile 4.0 is only for All in one?
I have SAP BO 8.81.
Thanks.
Christian.

Hello everybody,
thanks to Deepu I managed to get the iPad app connecting with our BOXI server now, too.
Once again, you need to have/install
>> BOXI 3.1 SP4
>> BOXI 3.1. Mobile Server SP4 ( First I was not aware of this product - be sure to install SP4 for this component as well!)
Having that you find MobileBIService.war within the folder <installation folder>\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\java\applications. Copying this war file to Tomcat's webapps folder should automatically result in the deployment of the corresponding Web application.
One additional remark: I could not open the MobileBIService web application via my browser, i.e. calling the URL http://<server name>:<port number>/MobileBIService/ lead to an error. I ignored this because I guess the web application serves only as a kind of middleware between the app and the "classic" BOXI server.
After deploying the WAR you have a folder <installation folder>\Business Objects\Tocat55\webapps\MobileBIService where you can find the mobi.properties file in subfolder WEB-INF. I let the properties file unchanged, i.e. the only category is "Mobile".
The idea of the categories is, that all Web Intelligence files which are "tagged" with this category can be downloaded/displayed in the iPad app. All other WebI reports are not accessible via iPad.
On iPad I specified <server name>:<port number> as "Server URL", i.e. I did enter nor "http://"neither the name of the web application (MobileBIService), just server name and port number! I specified the "CMS Name" together with the port number (normally 6400), i.e <CMS name>:<port number>.
And then it works...
...finally!

What is the difference between the sports edition apple watch and the normal edition, is it the bands different or do the they have different apps. Also could you take the bands off and put new ones on(change the bands)?

Whats the difference between the 4th gen iPod touch and the new one ?

whats the difference between the 4th gen iPod touch and the new one apart from it being white?

Yeah it sadly appears to be only color, I guess Apple and thier infinate wisdom decided iPod touches dont need to be as fast as the new iPhone. If it had a5 it could do Siri:(

What is the difference between the new version of lion and the one manufactured last year.

I just bought a new iMac. I found out it is the version of lion from mid last year and not the latest version. What is the difference?Should I return it and buy the latest version?

Not really. Lion is Lion, last year, this year, it is still Lion.
Yes, but it's a different version. Very cleverly said Barney
Pete
No it is not. The newest update just adds some things to it, no new features and only fixes bugs. It is still Lion OS X 10.7.x. It is not 10.6 or 10.8.
It is just a "Point" release and not a New Operating system. All Macbook Pros that could run Lion from last year can run the newest Lion Point release from this year.
Oh and by the way Barney was talking about Mountain Lion, 10.8. Which is a NEW OS X operating system and has nothing to do with Lion 10.7.x. And it is not out yet.
lol. Don't bust a blood vein. The comment was made in jest, but if you want to be serious, then OK 10.7 and 10.7.1 were different than 10.7.2 and 10.7.3. Why? Well one little thing called 'iCloud' for a start.

Sorry, there was absolutely no mention of the upcoming 10.8 that I could see in Barney's comment.
Cheer Up. Life can't be that bad.

What is the difference between the new 13" MacBook Pros and the previous version of the 13" MacBook Pro? I purchased an "old" one from Best Buy the day before the announcement of the new models.

See the specs:
Compare Notebooks - Apple Store (U.S.)
Compare with your model. If you are within 14 days of purchase you can exchange for the new model for the difference in price, if any. Be sure to have all the original packaging and your receipt.

Note that iStatPro has not been updated in quite awhile and may not be reading the guts of a totally new system correctly. IIRC, the Late 2011 MBPs were beginning to tax iStatPro already, as they had newer sensors the older code was completely unaware of.
For strictly measuring temps on the guts of these newer Macs, maybe use Marcel Bresink's free Temperature Monitor? Last updated in March 2012. In my Late 2011 15" MBP, it picks up all 18 sensors...

Or go whole hog for his Hardware Monitor, for oodles more info from the Mac. Follow the Products link from above.

What is the difference between on new focus and do prepare out put methods

Hi,
what is the difference between on new focus and do prepare out put methods.

Hi Divya,
DO_PREPARE_OUTPUT method is triggered each time the view is prepared after each event. Normally we redefine this method in order default the initial values based upon the parameter iv_first_time = 'X'. There can be certain other scenarios like putting data validations where this method can be helpful.
For details on ON_NEW_FOCUS, refer to this [thread|on_new_focus event;
Thanks
