Photos app Beta blurry thumbnails
Hi guys,
I'm trying the photo app on the Yosemite 10.10.3 beta, and I love it so far.
Giving that I'm uploading 50k images, it's pretty stable.
The only problem is that I have duplicate of some pictures, and one of the thumbnails of those pics seems to be low res, blurry, and with weird photo info (0Kb, insane ISO, sizes etc..).
If I try to open it or delete it, the app crashes.
Is anyone getting the same issue?
Thanks!

The poster frame thumbnail for my videos shows up everywhere except the Photos App on the iPad. This a big inconvenience when adding a video to Keynote in the iPad. Anybody know why the Photos app defaults the thumbnail to the opening seen of a video instead of the poster frame?
Thanks for the tip, but this just doesn't work for me. I right click to get the contextual menu, select Set Poster Frame, but nothing happens. Tried this as per original post in both separate window and artwork square.
I have also noted that the Artwork add / delete buttons are greyed out. Is this related? -
No thumbnails or faulty (noise) thumbnails in photo app on iPhone 4
I've just received my iPhone 4. I've upgraded it instantly to iOS 4.1.
Now I have a problem with the photo app on the iPhone 4. Nearly all photo's have no thumbnail in the app. I used iPhoto to sync the photos to the iPhone.
I can open the photo's in the app correctly.
Also when I look in the app say in "events view" I see distored noisy thumbnails. Just all kind of funny colors/noise.
The photo's that were taken with the iPhone all have correct thumbnails.
I've tried to remove all photo's and then resynced them with the same result. Also a reboot did not solve the problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Danny" is there no way to add an album or folder on the iPhone itself? "
There is no way. You add folders/albums by syncing them from your computer.
"This seems like a big lame step backwards from the 3GS where I head there's a simple + sign to add more folders'
This has never been a feature of any iphone. You cannot add photo folders from the iphone itself.
You can add folders for apps on the home screen. Perhaps you have this confused with photo folders?
The iphone is not a storage device, it simply mirrors your selected folders. -
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 helpIt 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. -
Blurry Images in new Photos App
I have noticed a problem with the new Photos app and I am uncertain whether it is unique to my system (iMac 2013 21inch). Photos taken in a portrait orientation do not display sharp on the screen. They look a little blurry as if the software hasn't properly rendered the image for preview. If you zoom in to part of the photo and then zoom out again the issue corrects itself and the image is displayed sharp.
Has anyone else had this problem and have they fixed it?Hi, i'm struggling to find a way of merging albums in the new photos app does anyone know how to do this?
Make the sidebar visible. View > Show Sidebar ⌥⌘S
Select one of the albums and all photos in it.
Drag the selected photos to the other album in the sidebar to merge the photos into it. Then delete the now empty original album.You can delete an album by selecting it in the Sidebar, ctrl-clicking it, then use "Delete album" from the contextual menu. -
When I open the Photos app, and I see all the thumbnails of the photos I have taken, I see the filters on the photos that should have filters. For some reason, when I enlarge a photo with a filter to full screen, the filter is removed. But when I go back to the thumbnails, the filter is restored. How can I fix this?
I suggest either learning to use the iPhone or going back to a $15 phone if these are the most important features of a phone to you. Start here: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/

Thumbnails missing on iPhone4 "Photos" app (blank white squares)
After upgrading to the iphone4, I restored from my most recent 3G back up, but most (not all) of the thumbnails in the photo library of the Photos app are just blank white squares
When you click on the white square a picture shows up, but this makes browsing almost impossible.
I tried restoring, and unselecting and reselecting in itunes and cannot get a majority of the thumbnails to show. the photos that do not show are random.If this was happing on your 3G and you upgraded your phone by restoring it from the backup of your 3G, it is also possible that your new phone may have inherited this problem from your old one (i.e., the problem may have been contained in the backup you restored from). I'm not sure what else to suggest you try on your computer and I'm not sure that's the problem. It may very well be something corrupt on your phone. The basic troubleshooting steps (in escalating order) are Reset, Restore, Restore as New. To reset your phone hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignoring the off slider that appears first), and release. To restore your phone follow this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414, backing up your phone at step 6, and restoring from that backup at the end of the process, followed by syncing with iTunes. If that fails you will have to save as much of your data as possible, and restore it as new by following this process again but at the end choosing to set it up as a new iPhone. If the problem persists after restoring as new you probably have a hardware problem and will have to have Apple take a look at it.

Photos.app black thumbnails due to multitasking?
What possible need is there for photos.app to multitask? I've noticed that if I transfer pics to my computer and photos is still running, it doesn't notice the deletions and freaks out about the missing thumbnails by replacing them with black icons. I have to quit it forcibly before it behaves. Can anyone else verify this?
I'm quite dismayed at the indiscriminate usage of multitasking. Not everything needs it dammit.I'd like to see an app that will shut down all other apps just by launching it. One touch kill-all-apps.
Instead of:
1) click
2) double-click
3) hold finger for 3 seconds
4) touch-dash x number of apps running until they are all really stopped
5) click to return to regular screen..
Maybe some day.... (Yes, I left feedback.) -
No Thumbnails with other photo apps (gorillacam, cppro, etc..) issue
When I use any app other than the included camera app to take a photo there is no thumbnail when I import them to my computer with Adobe Elements Uploader or open the folder to my iphone and view them in the folder. Older photo thumbnails are there but new images thumbnails taken with other apps are not. The thumbnail is a blank gray square. If you double click the blank thumbnail it will open in Windows Photo Viewer and you see the image fine but you can't tell what image you are opening because there is no thumbnail. This occurred after the OS 4 upgrade on my 3GS iphone. This is also occuring on my husband's iphone as well after the upgrade so it isn't just mine.
Same here.
Iphone 4, not jailbroken, with latest revision of iOS4 and I only can see the thumbnails of the photos that I take with the native camera app or the thumbnails of the videos (edited or not). If I use camera+ or try to edit any photo with any app I lost the thumbnails (so far I tested PhotoForge, PhotoGene, CropForFree, Photo Utility & ToonPaint). I tested it with iPhoto on my iMac and with the microsoft camera & scanner wizard on my PC.
This issue didn't happen with my iPad so I must agree with anilsudhakaran and conclude that with the last iOS update the way the metadata is stored changed and the apps dont or cant write it correctly thus the loss of the thumbnails.
I hope this is solved fast, is really a bother to import your photos without seeing what are you importing! -
Thumbnails not showing or very fuzzy after migration to new Photos app with 10.10.3
I updated to 10.10.3 last week. It came with the new Photos app.
But now when I open Photos, about 1/3 of my photos are missing the thumbnail (they just show a light gray box), and about another 1/3 are rotated wrongly and very fuzzy.
I can individually "fix" each bad thumbnail by double clicking on the the empty thumbnail box, then double-clicking again on the large image that shows. Then the thumbnail appears.
To fix the improperly rotated thumbnails and their fuzzyness, I can right-click the thumbnail, and tell Photos to rotate it clockwise 4 times. Then it shows up properly, and is in focus.
This wouldn't be a big deal if I only had a few hundred pictures. But I have about 65,000 pictures.
How can I fix this?
PS, I already tried rebuilding the Photos Library. Nothing changed.In case anyone else has this issue...
It appears that Photos is "fixing" these photos by itself.
I have left Photos open all day (about 12 hours now), and now there are no more photos without thumbnails (that I could find anyway).
There are still LOTS of photos that have fuzzy or improperly rotated photos, but I wonder if Photos is correcting these as well. I think I will leave the program open for another 12-24 hours and see what happens. -
I recently updated my mid-2010 Macbook Pro 15 inch to 10.10.3 Yosemite and I am now using the new Photos app. My Photostream shows missing thumbnails for more of the recent photos, I let it sit for an hour and they still don't show. Any tips to make the thumbnails show quickly? I have tried disabling photostream and reactivating it which didn't work. The thumbnails do eventually show only if I view each specific photo, but it would take forever to select each one to make the thumbnail show
Hi,
Thanks for that tip and I got as far as that as well with Apple Support but for me the subsequent syncing doesn't work.
I have just returned from another visit at the Apple Store where their top level Genius (if such a thing exists) wanted to see it for himself. Rather worryingly, neither he nor Apple head office has an answer for why this isn't working.
To summarise, I connect my iPhone 6 (all up to date) with my MBA/iTunes via USB cable. The sync tab under the iPhone allows me to sync my photos via USB and I get a dropdown menu to chose from iPhoto or Photos Sync. Both libraries in same location but iPhoto works, but Photos says there are 0 pictures and won't sync...
The Apple genius was going to try it himself tonight at home. He has my number and has promised to phone. In the meantime my question remains. For those of you who do not use the Cloud for storing pictures could you please confirm the sync is working for you as described above. Thanks -
Prior to importing photo's should the thumbnails be of a low quality such that they are blurry?
Prior to importing photo's should the thumbnails be of a low quality such that they are blurry?
I have recently started to use lightroom and when selecting a folder to import from my hard drive the thumbnails are of (in my opinion) very low quality. Once they are imported they are fine, is this correct?The import dialog is there to help you locate And identify the images that you want to import. They are not high quality previews. You shouldn't consider using the import dialog to determine the quality of any image. Use it to identify your images and get them imported. Then let Lightroom generate its own previews.

Finally! Better zoom in Photos app on iPhone 3GS with OS 3.1
Has anybody else noticed that photos taken on the 3GS running OS 3.1 will have a larger version stored in the Photos app? It is still not possible to view the full 3.2 Mpixel photo, but now the image is significantly larger than before. Previously the maximal magnification (by pinching) was about 2x, but now it's around 3x.
Please note, that this applies only to the new photos taken with OS 3.1. The older photos will keep their smaller versions.I am also having this problem, and anxiously awaiting a fix or a provision to revert to OS 3.0. I almost exclusively use smart playlists for listening to media on my iPhone and find this very aggravating. The "turn off live updating" solution just caused the playlist to disappear from the iPhone.
I believe this has been mentioned before, but interestingly, when my iPhone is connected and I am browsing its contents in iTunes 9, the playlists are all correct and in their correct order. While browsing at the same time on the iPhone directly, they're all messed up. -
Photos app bug resurrects long-removed photos (related to PNG alpha)
Wanted to report/discuss a possible privacy concern and image glitch, and understand it better for submission to Apple's feedback page: the iPad (and maybe iPhone) Photos app will consitently resurrect long-deleted photos in your Camera Roll, under certain circumstances. These are long-removed photos (as in removed many months ago, prior to the iOS 5 update), and possibly only the reduced-size thumbnail versions.
Note: as near as I can tell, the deleted photos were NOT originally from the camera roll! That's where they resurface, but I believe they are photos from other albums, maybe once which used to by synched to iPad but which I no longer synch. So "removed" might mean deleted or it might mean "no longer synched to iPad"... the images are so old I can't recall.
So the bug, I'm guessing, it two-fold:
1) The Photos app (and/or iPhoto during wired synch?) is not fully removing photos (or at least, their thumbs). They're no longer visible in Photos app, but are being retained somewhere on the device.
2) A glitch in the Photos camera roll PNG handling (which I think may be new with iOS 5) causes those old images ro re-surface when you add a PNG to the camera roll. (The old photos were JPEG, but the image that triggers the bug must be a PNG with alpha channel)
I have seen this on both an iPad 1 and iPad 2, running iOS 5.
Here's how to reproduce it:
1) Synch some photos to your iPad, then deselect them for synching and re-synch (so they're not there any more). Also, add some photos or screenshots to the camera roll and then delete them. I say to do both because I'm not 100% where the old photos come from, and I'm hoping this covers all bases! Actually, most people have already done these things in the past, and can probably skip this step.
2) Generate a transparent PNG using the art app Procreate (and probably any app that saves PNGs to the camera roll with alpha channel). All you have to do is scribble somethign into a blank Procreate canvas, then export it to your photo album. There is no need to do anything special to get an alpha channel or PNG format: you always get that. (Unless you used the Fill command to completely cover the canvas.) Now in the camera roll there should be your scribble on a transparent background. You can email it to yourself and see that clearly in Photoshop or Preview.
3) Here's the glitch: look at your camera roll (thumbnails view) and you'll see that the alpha-transparent background of the image has become one of your old removed photos! Tap it to enlarge and the alpha becomes black (which is fine, although it may seem odd if you intended to paint onto the default white canvas). But for just a moment, before you see the black, you will get a full-size glimpse of the old photo. (Or, maybe, an enlargement of the thumbnail?)
4) If you keep saving more alpha PNGs, you'll keep seeing more and different old photos coming back to life in the alpha regions of the thumbnails (and, briefly, at full size).
5) If you delete all those PNGs and then save some new ones, you'll see the same sequence of old photos reappear again.
Needed fix: removed phtos/thumbnails should be properly purged, and alpha PNGs should show simply black (or some default background) at all times.Ok, I replicated it and I don't like it! I didn't use the one you marked cause I couldn't call it up properly but I did Bing
transparent gifs and loaded up 3, one was totally invisible in the thumbnail and I could clearly see one of my pics perfectly in the thumbnail but when I brought it to page the gif filled the frame.
I have no idea where the pic came from, I mean I recognize it but from where in the album I have no idea.
Oh yeah, I was wrong about the first pic coming to page, it wasn't the same image but a different one...and I have no idea how the one that came up, (what i thought was the underlying pic) did, or how it got there or even from where.
This is some weird stuff though not as weird as that silly *** movie, what a load of tripe; I should have just spent my
time on this, it's infinitely more enjoyable!
Ok, here's the consensus from my layman iPad view:
What happened now and most probably before was a 'transparent gif' or a partially transparent gif like the one I spoke of first that I could see the edge of or the outer perimeter of, the underlining image with the gif taking up say 3/4 of the thumbnail; this it what it was.
This is totally apparent to me now because of your having me import a totally transparent gif which was invisible over my pic, thus the freaky part I didn't like...keying the thumbnail with one thing and ending up with something totally different when brought to page.
Still doesn't explain where this silly iPad is grabbing these pics from?
But here's something funny; my camera roll shows say 9,200 pics but my, 'iMy System' app say I have like 11,300 which I always thought was a fluke, that it was just reading wrong but maybe it's seeing something we're not. What if all those pics we're deleting to save space or just generally culling have never left the system? Maybe that goofy app is really reading the true count!
Those others up above us here who mentioned privacy concerns.. this could be whats going on, there's a ghost
in the machine and it be our old pics and god knows what else floating around in that iPads memory.
Ok, I'm crazy tired and I have to wrap this up. Least now we know how to replicate this but on the other hand I think we opened up an even bigger can of worms... the mystery of where all those images are hiding in our iPads?
I haven't hardwired to a computer since I upgraded to ios5 so whatever's going on here, leastwise for me is iPad
based and can't be blamed for synching issues like you discuss up above unless what I'm grabbing here is old stuff
reimported back into my pad from the mainframe when I was backed up for the ios5 upgrade?
Oh well, let me know what you think. Please do forgive my not getting back to you sooner on account of the movie
but you already know I regret choosing that over this! Hope you had a good night and thanks... -
Why is the new iOS 8 photo app slow handling photo raw files
I Have been importing my photos to ipad using the camera kit since the first iPad was released.
Originally I only imported JPEG, however as my photographic interest grew I switched to photo raw.
I have since being importing and edit pentax PEF photo raw files through the various versions of iOS, however since this new version the experience of editing and viewing my photos is slow, and unpleasant.
Choose a photo to view, and a blurry picture appears, and a second or 3 and the blurry images clears and I can view my photo, now swipe left to the next picture and the photos move as they should then stick half of the first picture is shown and half of the second, wait 2 / 3 seconds and the second picture is revealed, blurry, and wait another second or to and it clears. It carries on in this fashion, and it turns a pleasant experience, into a frustrating one.
on previous versions of iOS there would be a small pause as images loaded, but it was always smooth to move from picture to picture.
i Have tried switching to RAW+ hoping that only the attached JPEG would be imported. This did not appear to work with the whole image being imported.
please anyone how can I get back to the iOS photo app that worked better with raw photo files?Briansyddal - you might be able to manage your phone without a PC, but many of us can't, especially those of us with large iTunes libraries. How do you propose I manage my 250GB of music using only a phone? Maybe I could go out and buy 10 iPhones and spread my library out among them!
Catz537 - I have the same problem as you and I've spent hours on the web trying to find a solution to it. It was a problem with iOS 7 and 8.1.1 doesn't fix it. The the only advice from Apple is completely useless because it requires you, effectively, to delete and recreate your iTunes library and lose all your metadata, album art, notes etc and there's also no guarantee it will work. I wish I could be more help (even more - I wish Apple could be more help) - I updated to 8.1.1 at 1400 today. At 2200 I'm still "waiting for changes to be applied" for a measly 16GB of music transfer.
