Mac Photos app upload to iCloud is stuck

Is been one day that photo app on my mac says "sending 23 625 elements"
I did restart my mac and my iphone and it is the same. I have checked the updates and it is everything up to date.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Same thing here - been sitting at 1278 Items to Upload from my iPhone for a while. Also, the Mac OS X app says it's been uploading 5 items for about 5 days now...
There really needs to be a way to see what the status is...

Ios7 Photo app issue.

I Installed ios7 on my iPad3 and iPhone 5 & see some of the images in the Photo app don’t scale properly & cut off at the top and sometimes right side, never an issue before. You can pinch them down to fit, but they don’t stay that way. I use the iPad to highlight my graphic work and and this is a big issue for me and I would suspect others. It seems random but happens fairly frequently. . Again, same images as before and as i said, never a problem before. It seems to affect not photos as much as images such I scan, get from LOC, various other sources, work on in Photoshop or illustrator, all legit and all fine in 6.14 and earlier. Needs to be addressed. PS, other apps that show images, Photo Manager Pro, for instance, show the same images properly. Anyone else notice this? Happens on my wife's 5 as well.

For the record, just confirmed it happens to photos taken by my iPhone as well. Really hope someone at Apple reads this and runs it down and fixes it. Most annoying to have to awkwardly resize images when presenting to prospective client, or a complete stranger. :-)

Photoshop won't open photos from Mac photo app

I'm just trying to open some of my photos into photoshop to do some editing. When I click "open" then try to go to the photos which are in the Apple Photo app, photoshop doesn't recognize them. That's the only location the photos are in. Someone help?!

Good day!
What do you mean by
the photos which are in the Apple Photo app
Do the images not exist as files of their own in a format like tif, jpg, psd, …?

Compatibility extension for new Mac photos app?

Having just updated iPhotos to the photos app on my Macbook pro, I've just discovered there's no drag and drop function any more into both Lightroom and PS. According to the Apple forum, it requires an extension from the third party, i.e.. Adobe to make this work again. Does anyone have any idea when Adobe might be sorting this problem out?

1. Yes. Select the album named All Photos, not the one named Photos.
2. No. I would suggest setting up your devices to sync up with Photos, then use Dropbox to back up your Photos Library. Ulimately, however, setting up iCloud Photo Library and allowing it to sync everything with everything is the whole beauty of the new Photos app.

Photos app issue

after updating to the latest software I tried to find albums that have been shared with me on the photos app but none appeared. I have photo sharing turned on. Any idea how to get these albums?

Beta software - which is what the Photos app is - is not included on this forum. If you've enrolled as an Apple Beta tester then you'll need to use the beat testing forums.

Can't import from internal SD or external SD to Mac Photos app

I have been using Photos since it was released without any issues except that I can't seem to import from SD cards. Trying to import from either the internal SD slot on my Mac Mini or externally connected card readers fails.
When I choose file, import within Photos and navigate to the SD card source, the "review for import" dialog is grayed out, as are the folders themselves. If I manually navigate to the SD card outside of Photos, I can select the files and choose open with Photos and import like that without issues. My library is on an external drive, if that matters. Any ideas how I can fix this or why its happening?
thanks!

If there is no other way, drag the images to a folder on your desktop and import them from there.
Keep it simple

HT204655 Order prints as gift from Mac Photos app and make sure no receipt included.

I want to order some print products from the Photos for Mac (prints and photo book) as gifts to friends and family. I just want to make sure that my friends receive the products without any receipt showing the costs.

Update - it started uploading "items" to iCloud.

Mac Photos.app doesn't allow external editor

I need to be able to use a more sophisticated editor. I've always been able to do so with iphoto. What's the matter with Apple for removing this function from Photos?
I'll have to keep using iPhoto until they put this function back.
Very disappointed and extremely annoyed!

... I want the IMG_xxxx number to appear under the images ...
If an image or video had no title assigned to it, iPhoto would display the filename in its place, less the extension of the file. This obscured the fact that the title & filename are actually two different things. For better or worse, Photos doesn't do that -- if the item does not have a title, Photos displays nothing, other than the grey "untitled" label when you move the pointer over the title area.
However, léonie (& others) have created scripts & services you can use with Photos to copy the filename to the title. This has been mentioned in many posts in this forum & in this user tip. That service will embed the filename into the title info in the file itself, so even if the filename changes (like in a copy to another drive), the title won't be affected.

Thinking of making the PC to Mac Move, questions about Photos App

Helped my mother on her Mac a little bit and got the Photos App working for her. Now my turn, I have been a die hard Windows user, but I will never use a Windows phone. (Can never give up my iPhone) I have been taking on a huge family project of scanning old photos and dating them. Along with digital photos from early 2000’s. I have probably about 10,000 photos. (And 20,000 more to scan) In Windows I use photo gallery 2012 to organize and date etc. my photos. The thing I like about photo gallery is that when I make a change to a photo it edits the original. The dates and GPS I add to the photo are forever saved to the file in the metadata.
I am very tempted to move to a Mac. (I have an iPhone & Apple TV, I would like to sync across all my devices) I never like iPhoto, the idea of a “non destructive” editing means I have to import and export photos. I think the new Photos app might work for me.
A few questions:
If I move all my directories/folders of my photos to a Mac, will I be able to use the Mac Photo App to edit the photos and the changes I make be saved directly to the photo file in the respective folder? (Or are the photos then saved in a new location after being edited in the Mac Photo App?)
If I turn on the iCloud Photo Library (on the Mac & iPhone) I understand all my photos will be uploaded to the cloud and any changes made on either device will be seen on the other. My question, if I make changes to a photo that is in the iCloud will that change be made to the original photo file that is stored on the Mac? (Basically I want to have at all times a hard drive copy for my personal backup)
With the iCloud Photo Library feature I understand that any new photo I take with my iPhone is uploaded to the iCloud. Are the photos taken on the iPhone physically downloaded to the Mac? I know I can view them on the Mac Photo app, but I want to know if they are downloaded to the Mac and if so where does it save the new photos?
Thanks,
Nick

I do not use ICloud so someone else will need to answer those questions. For question one though... Photos, like Aperture and Iphoto before it, puts your photos in its own filing system. You would need to export the photos to get them back out of Photos. You can export them to anywhere in your mac file system.

IPhone photos app crashing consistently with large iCloud photo library beta - how can I completely remove?

Hi - I turned on the iCloud photo library beta on my phone weeks ago. Worked fine with no issues. Then the Yosemite OS X beta 10.10.3 was released with the new Photos app. Once i loaded that new app, it converted my Aperture library and began to upload around 75,000 photos.
My iPhone almost immediately became sluggish (I assumed because it was downloading the pictures) and then eventually started crashing every time I go into the app (after a few seconds). I assumed it was because it showed 75,000 images in my Cameral Roll/Moments so I turned of the iCloud photo library beta. It prompted to be certain I was ok with deleting the images, which I said OK to. But it still shows 75,000 images in the camera roll and anything I tried to do with any photo has become completely unusable (generally just crashing each time).
Did I miss a step in the process?
Is this just me?
I'm trying to backup my iPhone but it keeps erroring out with the message "iTunes could not back up the iPhone "name" because the iPhone disconnected". Otherwise I would just recreate . Please help

It can free up some storage but it doesn't work like Dropbox. See the following quotes from iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
I personally don't use iCloud Photo Library as it is still beta. Additionally, I have a Mac computer and there is not yet a Mac Photos app that is compatible.
How does iCloud Photo Library save space on my device?
If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your iOS device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. iCloud Photo Library stores the original, high-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and can keep lightweight, device-optimized versions on each of your devices. As long as you have enough storage, recent photos and videos that you access the most will stay on your device at full resolution.
To turn on Optimize [device] Storage on your device, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera, then select Optimize [device] Storage. You need an Internet connection to access an original photo or video that’s stored only in iCloud.
How does iCloud delete photos and videos from iCloud Photo Library?
Deleting a photo or video from your Photos app will also remove the item from iCloud Photo Library and from your iCloud storage allocation. Photos and videos you remove can be recovered from the Recently Deleted album for 30 days. After 30 days, your content will be removed from the Recently Deleted album. Photos are backed up on our servers for up to 30 days after they're deleted from the Photos app. If you need to recover these photos during that time, contact Apple Support.

How can I sync the Mac contacts app with my friends Facebook photos?

Hi,
I have an iPhone 5 and and iPad so I'm not to new to Apple products, however i did just get my first MacBook (I'm in love!) I have a question, is it possible to sync the Mac Contacts app with Facebook so that my friends Facebook photos will show up in the Mac Contacts app like they do on my iPhone or iPad? When I use iMessage on my Mac I would like my friends FB picture to pop up, would someone mind to walk me through this process?
Thanks!

If calendar events are not syncing from the iPhone to iCal on your mac, try Resetting the Sync History as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23030
Then enable calendar syncing in iTunes and choose the Merge option on the initial sync.
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2481 provides additional advanced troubleshooting tips that may help, if the issue persists.

Photos app on iPhone contains photos under Events which aren't in iPhoto on Mac

Hi,
When I open the Photos app on my iPhone 4S there are a series of "Events" which contain photos. None of these events are listed within iPhoto on my Mac and I can't find where it is taking the photos from. All the events are just labelled with a date, for example "17 Dec 2012", but I am unable to delete the photos from my iPhone and because they are not showing up in iPhoto I can't delete them from there!!
Any suggestions?!?
Thanks,
Mark

I figured it out if anyone else is having the same issue. I had to manually kill the photo app and it updated the pictures I just added when I re-opened it.

ICloud photos library for Photos app Yosemite sync issues

Strangely, after enabling iCloud photos library on Photos app. It does sync all the lowres image into Photos app but the downloading of hires is always stuck.
Even if I leave it to sync overnight and it just stay the same until the next morning.
Anyone has facing the same issues?
Thanks.

After two weeks I'm on my 6th attempt (6th from-scratch library) just trying to get the download and sync features to work. As of this morning the sync appears to be working but the fact that after 12 hours of "downloading" my library of 53,000 images is only 9 gigabytes, I'd say, yes, my high-resolution images are not coming down either. I have definitely set to download originals to my Mac.

Import of photos is not working. Moreover 'photos' app is not getting closed, it says 'closing all libraries'. Even it is stopping shutdown/restart of my mac.

Next time you open the photos application hold down both of the keys suggested and then launch the application in the usual way. If you do this you will be presented with the opportunity to repair your library.
