HELP - with the new Photos application on Mac

I was working on getting the photos ready and now I have a lot of pics to the new Photos and now have many duplicates, how can I remove them without having to purchase additional software ? Thanks I also need to get this right ASAP

ok Thank you but one other question have you updated your iPhoto to the New Photos? if you did then in settings how do you have yours so a copy of a picture deleted but you don't want it to come back because iI have deleted a lot of pictures and now they are back what the heck is up with that? and Here is what I mean by settings this first pic is the General settings
this second picture is iCloud in settings
so how do I make it so if I already have the picture deleted it doesn't come back in for duplicates or whatever happened! thanks Also I forgot to tell you I did not migrate the pictures from iPhoto to Photos was I suppose to do that?

The new Photo application only goes to 50% after pushing the "Getting Started" button. Is there a work-a-round?

I've tried unsuccessfully to move over to the new Photos application. Every time I press the get started button it does well until it reaches 50%. There it hangs. I do have a large number of raw & jpg images in my pictures directory, but iPhoto seemed ok with it previously. I did leave it running over night and it was still at 50% the next morning. I am running on a 2011 MBP 17" running OS X 10.10.3. I have 400G of free space. I'm ok to throw away my old iPhoto library. I only used it for organizing. I use Adobe PS & LR for editing. I want to be able to do a similar thing with the new Photo Application. Timeline the photos, send them to iCloud and distribute them to my devices ... iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch

How do I move a photo into an album in the new Photos application?

How do I move a photo into an album in the new Photos application?

The simplest way is to show the Sidebar at all times - you can reveal it with options-command-S ⌥⌘S.
With the sidebar visible, you can simply drag the photos from the Moments or other albums to the album in the sidebar. You can select and drag multiple photos at a time by selecting the first photo, holding down the shift key and selecting more photos. If the album does not yet exist, select the photos and press ⌘N for "File > New album" to create a new album with the selected photos.

Anyone having trouble with the new update for 2010 mac book air 10.8.2?

Anyone having trouble with the new update for 2010 mac book air 10.8.2 ? My 2010 Macbook Air has crashed 15times since the 10.8.2 update. Have only once since owning it.

Turned out the hardware was bad. Apple exchanged it for a new Mac Air and the new trackpad works great. Thank goodness it was a defect. If the trackpads all worked like that I would have been bummed.

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.

My photo stream does not seem to be working as before with the new PHOTOS update. some of my devices are not getting the uploads/downloads

My photo stream does not seem to be working as before with the new PHOTOS update. Some of my devices are not getting the uploads/downloads, anyone have this problem?

Recommend that you post your question in "Photos".
Remember, Photos is not a replacement for Aperture.

Just did a Mac update yesterday for Yosemite and I can not open a picture in elements with out it crashing. Spent over 4 hours with Mac and it came down to an Adobe Issue with the New Photo which is replacing the I photo. Elements does not recognize it,

Does anyone know a direct number for adobe that will not cost you to just ask about their program which will not work with a new mac update!

You can do that in iPhoto, too. Just go to the iphoto prefs>advanced, and set PSE as your external editor. Note that the actual editor is not the file at the top level of Applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements < version number >, but rather hidden away inside the Support Files folder:
Then you just right the click the photo in iphoto and choose edit with external editor.
If you have the new Photos app, you can't drag and drop, either.

Syncing photo libraries with the new Photos (Yosemite) on three Macs

Dear list members,
I have three Macs running Yosemite 10.10.3 and a very large photo library (160 gb). I have locally copied this library on all three Macs and manage them with iPhoto, trying to keep them identical to each other as possible with Photo Stream. Yesterday I upgraded to the new Photos app and converted the photo library on one of those Macs (I made a backup of this library in iPhoto format on an external HDD, just in case).
My goal is to have all three Macs with identical photo libraries (locally copied), perfectly synced and available also on my iPhone (for download). So my questions are:
1. How will the new Photos app and the iCloud Photos service deal with those three libraries (which are basically the same, except for a few differences) on the different Macs? Will all of them be synced and become identical after a while, even considering their large size?
2. Just to be sure that the photo libraries will be identical on all three Macs, should I delete the libraries on the other two Macs, let Photos build new ones, and let them be synced through the new service iCloud Photos (to which I subscribed with enough virtual disk space)?
Thank you very much for the attention.

If you are going to use the iCloud Photo Library, I would create new, blank Libraries for the other Macs, set as default.
Then, when you enable Photos and iCloud Photo Library on those Macs, it won't sync anything from them. You can then re-link the old iPhoto Libraries back to iPhoto on each Mac and manually add any missing photos that were only on those two Macs. Just Export the photos from iPhoto and upload them to the iCloud Photo Library.
Ooops, almost forgot.
To create a new Library or to Link to another Library, hold down the Option Key when you start iPhoto.

Withe the new photo upgrade, why can't I edit in Photoshop anymore?

I just upgraded to the new photo upgrade and I can't edit in Photoshop anymore!!! Help????

I just upgraded to the new photo upgrade and I can't edit in Photoshop anymore!!! Help????
External Photo Editors are not supported in Photos. You can export any photo to the Desktop and then pass them the Photoshop for editing and reimport them.
The problem is, that 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. Photoshop and other external editors have not yet been upgraded to support this. I hope, the updates will come soon.
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.

HT204655 Can I create folders and subfolders in the new Photos on my mac?

I've just started using the new Photos app in the latest Yosemite update on my Macbook Pro.
Until recently I was using Aperture to sort all my photos into folders and subfolders - I think they were called "events" or "projects" in Aperture.
In Aperture, I was creating folders like "1993", "1994", "1995" or "Best of My Family".
Then I had subfolders within those folders - things like a "Christmas 1995", and perhaps some subfolders within that like "Christmas 1995 at Home", "Christmas 1995 at Parents" as well as things like a "favorite 1995 pics".
And sometime non-date related folders - things like "Children as Babies" subfolder or "Parents on Vacations" subfolder within the "Family" folder.
These folders and subfolders seem to have been carried through to this new Photos app as "iPhotos Events".
But I dont seem to be able to continue sorting - like creating new subfolders within folders.   For example, in Photos I don't seem to be able to create an album within in an album.
Am I missing a trick here?
Is Photos unable to do this?
Or, is the community please able to suggest another alternative solution - like, would using the Pictures folder in Finder be better, perhaps in conjunction with DropBox instead of iCloud?
Or another photo organizing app that is able to sort folders and subfolders?
Thank you for your help in advance!

One way to create folders, subfolders, albums, is to make sure you have your Sidebar showing (menu - view > sidebar) and then use "Control + mouse click" on a folder you want to create a subfolder or album in to bring up the contextual menu.   You can also do these things in the upper right of the Photos window using the + icon but that always seemed to put those items in the top level of the sidebar so I would have to drag and drop them to the folder where I wanted them to go.

Need some Help with the new Genius Mixes on iTunes 9

I would like to know how to use the New Genius Mixes on iTunes 9. I don't quit know how to use it yet and like all of us we're all just learning how to use the Genius Mixes. I did watch the KeyNote but they didn't go into great detail on how to use it. Does Apple have a web site that has more detail instruction on how to use the genius Mixes? I did find some info. on how to use the Genius mixes but it didn't go into great detail on how or what to do with the genius Mixex and thats what I need.
when I click on the genius Mixes icon under the "Genius", what shows up is a Big square with four album images of my music that I have in my music collection, I go and roll my mouse over the Big square with my four music albums and click on it to play the music and it'll play what ever I have in the Genius Mix list plus as I roll my mouse over the Big Square, under it it says "Jazz Mix" with some text writings under the Jazz mix.
I want to change the Jazz mix Title and I want to know how to add more music square boxes to my Genius Mixes just like they show in the Keynote and I would like to edit and create my own four square music boxes in my Genius Mixes.
I never used my music genius list, I always created just a play List, now I am just learning how to use this music Genius lists and I don't know how to use it at all and I need someone that knows how to use thr Genius Mixes list to help me how to use it since there isn't a how to book yet for the new iTunes 9.
Can someone Please help me with the new genius Mixes on iTunes.
Thank you,
Mrs Trisha Foster

Today, I was getting an array out of bounds exception on a split
I don't see how that could happen with the 'split' method since it creates its own array.
For this particular string, ordSplit.length = 24 and commas = 26.
PERFECT! That is exactly what it should be!
Look closely at the end of the sample string you posted and you will see that it has trailing empty strings at the end: '1096200000000242505,,,'
Then if you read the Javadocs for the 'split' method you will find that those will NOT be included in the resulting array:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#split(java.lang.String)
split
public String[] split(String regex)
Splits this string around matches of the given regular expression. This method works as if by invoking the two-argument split method with the given expression and a limit argument of zero. Trailing empty strings are therefore not included in the resulting array.
Just a hunch but your 'out of bounds exception' is likely due to your code assuming that there will be 26 entries in the array and there are really only 24.

Help with the News Widget

I am having some issues with the news widget and I don't know what I am doing wrong to have it come up like this. (I have attached a screenshot) Nothing is overlapping to make an error like this. Can someone help me?
It is supposed to be next to the grey text, not below it.

Figured out a workaround. I needed a convenient method to access the rows of the table from JavaScript. It turns out that the following works (on IE 6, anyway), though it depends on the HTML <div> tag:
<html>
<head>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f" %>
<script language="JavaScript">

var d = document.getElementById('occurs');
var tbl = d.getElementsByTagName('TABLE')[0];
var r0 = tbl.rows[0];
var r1 = tbl.rows[1];
var r2 = tbl.rows[2];
r0.style.display='none';
r1.style.display='none';
r2.style.display='none';

if(tab == 'tab1')
r0.style.display='block';
else if(tab == 'tab2')
r1.style.display='block';
else if(tab == 'tab3')
r2.style.display='block';
-->
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="javascript: selectTab('tab1');" >
<f:use_faces>
<h:form formName="entryform">
<h:selectone_radio id="EventOption" layout="PAGE_DIRECTION" valueRef="EventEntryBean.eventOption">
<h:selectitem itemValue="daily" itemLabel="wee" onclick="javascript: selectTab('tab1');"/>
<h:selectitem itemValue="weekly" itemLabel="Not-so-wee" onclick="javascript: selectTab('tab2');"/>
<h:selectitem itemValue="monthly" itemLabel="Freakin HUGE" onclick="javascript: selectTab('tab3');"/>
</h:selectone_radio>

How can I connect my iphone to my computer with the new upgrades? My mac (old) cannot support the new itunes and my phone can't connect to it.

I have a macbook that I purchased in 2007 with operating system Mac OS X Version 10.5.8. I recently did the new software upgrade on my iPhone and now my iPhone and my computer cannot connect. I tried downloading the newest iTunes but it is not supported by my software. What can I do now? (Other than buy a new computer).

Is the new iTunes library on a different computer, or the same computer?
Are you concerned about photos that you have taken with the iPhone in the Camera Roll, or photos you have synced to the iPhone from your computer?
Contacts should be configured to sync with an app on your computer. You set this up in iTunes on the Info tab with the iPhone connected. You will not lose any contacts if the app on your computer has at least one contact.
