New Photos application causing internet issues across my network.

Very odd behavior. Downloaded Photos on the 9th and began to upload to ICloud. I have 200GB storage which is sufficient. On the 10th, our entire wireless and wired internet system was experiencing extreme intermitancy. If my desktop computer (the one running Photos) was hooked to the net, wirelessly or wired, it would register "host not found" on ping tests through the terminal. If you could get it to connect, internet speeds were fine, but package loss was the issue. If another computer was on the internet and the desktop was disconnected, but then tried to connect, the desktop would connect, but boot off the other computers and they would experience package loss or "host not found" errors. We tried this with both MAC and PC computers, the 2nd computer would alway be booted and lose connection. Everything has been tested multiple times, we tested multiple configurations. Modem is fine, airport is fine, cables tested and fine, interference on lines checked and there is none. When I disabled ICloud upload for my photos from the desktop, internet is perfectly fine across the board. Multiple computers can run, this computer can run, etc. No package losses, great speeds. With Photos running, my desktop connects to the internet, then exhibits huge packet losses and drops, and then you are unable to connect without a full reboot. Once re-connected, you stay connected for moments, then are dropped. I have 30Mbps download, 3Mbs upload which for our location is already a Pro Level account. Any suggestions as I can't turn on Photos or the entire system goes down. Anyone else having this issue?

Yes others are seeing this issue…
10.10.3 Nuking My Network
Re: Your internet on life support? Blame Photos app.
It is basic networking - when one device is sending a lot of data on a network other devices cannot send data too - the 'medium is shared'.
Normally applications try to reduce this issue by allowing a certain amount of throttling (reducing the amount of data sent to help others use the same network resources). Sadly Photos has no option to set this. Throttling will make the process take longer.
It effects the internet because outbound traffic gets maxed out by Photos uploads, other devices cannot make requests so they have to wait, sometimes the OS may give up (timeout happens before a result comes back).
This is my summation of the situation, with some workaround ideas (that needs work to apply).

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.

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

IWeb photo galleries cause Internet Explorer to crash

Please help! I am a novice as far as web design goes and have spent a long time getting my site up and going. It works perfectly on Firefox, Chrome, Safari etc but when using Internet explorer the photo galleries cause the browser to crash/freeze.
If you leave it for approximately 5 minutes sometimes it starts working again.
My website is www.hboydwatercolours.co.uk
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Problem with photos in new Photos application

The new photos shows one photo in thumbnail but a different photo when I click or enlarge the thumbnail. Don't want to lose either!Problem

There is a solution!!
After installing iOS4.0.1 update on my 3G, I too had the black
blob in my camera roll. As posted in an earlier thread, here's
one way to resolve this problem. It worked for me!
Just email the photos that don't appear in the camera roll to myself,
delete the offending photos and then re-save them from the email.
A bit of a pain but it's a way around it. Good luck!

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?

Is there a guide to the new Photos application

Having suffered through the loss of perfectly usable applications like Aperture and iPhoto, now we are presented with a further iteration "Photos".
Corruption city here, and before I launch into Photos, is there such a thing as a guide or on-screen manual or whatever?
Steve Jobs must be turning in his grave.

There is the Photos Online-Help, see: Photos Help
And there is a recent book in the "Take Control" series:
I have not read this book yet, but the series is usually very good:
"Photos for Mac: A Take Control Crash Course," penned by Jason Snell, formerly of Macworld and now at Six Colors.

AIrport Extreme-n internet issue with WDS networking

I have 1 AIRPORT EXTREME-n STATION set as the MAIN STATION connected to a modem.
With the following configuration my Internet connection drops every 4-5 minutes and I have to reset modem and Airport Extreme:
- A second Airport Extreme-n (set as RELAY) connected to the main station
- 1 Airport Express unit (set as remote) connected to the main station
- 2 Airport Express units (set as remote) connected to the relay station
With the following configuration my Internet connection does NOT drop:
- Second Airport Extreme-n (set as REMOTE) connected to the main one
- 3 Airport Extreme units (set as remote) connected to the main station
I need to connect everything as in the first case scenario, because two of the Airport Extreme units are quite far from the main Airport Extreme station (I bought a second Extreme station to extend the signal!).
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.6)
Powerbook g4 12 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Not trying to insult you with basics, but there are a few things you can try with your scenario (which is probably one of the most advanced and therefore problem-prone setups). It may also be there are just some issues that Apple has to work out in future updates.
1. Factory reset on ALL 5 units.
2. Changing channels (use only 1, 6, or 11 - there are reasons why).
3. Try changing encryption levels to at least see if that seems to be an issue. I usually start with "None" to eliminate a bad link in the chain.
4. Power levels lowering one or both units may actually help in some situations.
5. Since you are obviously running 2.4GHz with compatibility for BG clients, there are some other settings to play with like interference robustness on/off, multicast rate, etc.
Hope you get it going.

Anything "like" Events in new Photos

I am really disappointed in the new Photos application. I miss having my Events where only one photo was visible. I know Photos has "Moments" however, I don't want ALL of my photos visible. I might have some very personal photos that I don't want people to see while I'm looking for a certain occasion. Does anyone know of a setting or something that will allow me to bring back something like Events?
I will be using iPhoto until this is fixed and if not. I will use iPhoto indefinitely and continue working with Photoshop.

I agree. It's really frustrating having to scroll through 34k+ photos to get to the newest ones!
Although I can get to iCloud Events, it's in a fixed chronological order, and can't be changed.
And will all new imports go into Events?
Looks like this app will need a lot of sorting.
Surely the Beta programme should have unearthed these fundamental issues?

How do I get the new photos albums from my imac to sync to my iphone?

Last week my iMac did the software update that replaced iPhoto on my iMac with the new Photos application.
Since then, I have migrated all my iphoto library to the Photos library and have been able to further sort my photos in the albums area.
I have backed up my iPhone 6, and then completed a sync so it would be updated accordingly with the photos app as opposed to the previous iPhoto app. In iTunes everything looks fine, in Photos everything looks fine, and there was a bit of a hiccup once or twice with trying to complete the sync process (although I imagine this was simply due to the mere nature of the number of images have to sync as I do photography and I model so over 32000 photos to sync). Finally I was able to complete the sync process, and all seemed fine.
I then went in to Photos app on the iPhone 6, and all the photos are there, all the albums are there, but all the albums are empty even though the photos are on the phone in the photos sections???
I would really like to know how to get the albums to sync properly to my iPhone 6 from an iMac, does anyone know what to do?
Also, my iPhone since then has been dropping battery life significantly and getting very warm over short periods of time, but I have had no applications open, the phone has not been in use at the time and has been locked screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Synced photos can only be deleted by syncing again with iTunes and deselecting all synced items.

New Photos not sync'ing to iTunes

I think this happened before... I noticed that the Photos on Mac is changed. Though I don't really like the interface, I am trying to get used to it... however, once again, the photos are not sync'ing properly to iTunes... I need help... For example: there are more number of photos on my laptop after importing from my phone... Then I grouped them into different Events. However, I am not seeing these being sync back into my phone via the iTunes.
I happened before, and for some reasons, it get fixed by itself. DO you acknowledge these is a problem?

HI,
Maybe try it this way this is what I did with mine because I did not migrate and didn't know about that either.
and really have the sidebar so because it will help you get the pictures organized
Photos application for Mac Instructions that might help!
On your iPad,iPhone keep the iCloud on in settings for Photos.
if you have not opened the New Photos application yet to have it transfer your photos from iPhoto let it Transfer the Pictures.
once you have all the pictures from iPhoto to Photos then in Photos go to Preferences
there is general and iCloud tab and go to the iCloud and only uncheck the iCloud button that will make it so it doesn't sync with your iPhone and iPad for Photos.
Then in Photos go up to View and press show sidebar because with that view you can move your pictures easier to albums snd delete or move any pictures or make new albums
For Duplicates if you have a big pile in a row and I mean not like every other picture of the same pictures on the keyboard Hold down the shift button. or the other way is to Hold down the Command buttom that is right by the space bar then on the trackpad or mouse click once on the picture you want to delete and do a bunch at a time then on the last picture of that pile either right click the picture and delete or go up to the edit button which is next to file on the top left and click delete in edit.
when you are all done with moving around your pictures or whatever go back to Preferences and turn on iCloud and make sure you have the optimize Mac Storage and then you are done! I hope this makes sense and works for you! here are the 2 pictures I'm talking about in settings.

How to create borders and watermarks in the new photos app?

In iPhoto we could create borders and watermarks amongst other features when going to the Export Option under File.
Does anyone know if/how we can do both in the new Photos App?
If not, what's the next best option for creating borders and watermarks, and does Photos support plug ins?
This is my first question of what Im guessing will be a series in getting to know and utilize Apples forceful technology.

You're not missing anything. You're correct in your finding that adding/modifying location data in the new Photos application has been removed.
With that said, in a proactive manor you can submit feedback (do it at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html since there is no section for Photos yet) and request that location modification be added. The more people who do it, the more likely it is to be added.

Copy Pictures out of the Photos Application

Hi, I am having troubles dragging out pictures from the new Photos application on my MacBook Pro, into safari and webpages like google drive. I need to export it onto the desktop and from there drag it into google drive. Exporting it like this is a pain, especially when dealing with large numbers of photos. Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks

Make a Folder on your Desktop, “Exported Images”, for example
Within Photos.app, click "Photos” on the left hand pane
Press COMMAND+A (or Edit > Select All), to select all the images in your library.
Then, File > Export > Export [number of selected images] items...
Select the Desktop folder created in (1) as the destination

HT204320 Help needed organsing my photo files in the new Photos program

The new Photos application has reorganised all my picture files and displays them according to the EXIF data. As many of them were scanned from vintage sources a photograph taken in 1900 now turns up in the wrong place. In iPhoto I had the pictures sorted by file name so they were chronological. Can Photos sort my pictures according to the file name?
I have also found that organising the pictures in Photos on my Macbook Pro does not mean they will retain that organisation when displayed on my iPad Mini 3 and iPhone6+. I have wasted so much time on this.
I have already tried using 'EXIF Editor' and 'Photo Meta Edit' (both recommended by the Apple App Store) to change the EXIF data. After paying for these apps and spending many hours editing numerous picture files they have now spontaneously reset themselves to 1st January 1970. Aaaaaaargh. Two pictures of my great grandparents (taken in about 1900) now have a generated 'created on' dates for themselves of Monday 7th July, 2036.
I need Photos to allow me to organise my pictures according to the file name. HELP!!!
Geoff

Moments in Photo are the new Events, i.e. groupings of photos sorted by date taken.
When the iPhoto Library was first migrated to Photos there was a folder created in the sidebar titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events (which are now Moments) are represented by an album in that folder. To open the sidebar if it's not already open use the Option+Command+S key combination.
There's a way to simulate events in Photos.
When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N. Name it as desired. It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the iPhoto Events folder
When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window.
The downside to the simulation is that the Album/Events can only be sorted automatically by Title. But they can also be sorted manually, either in the sidebar or in the folder's window at the right.
Ask Apple for more sorting options in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html.
