Photos for Mac won't communicate with iCloud

I seem to have all my pictures from both iCloud and iPhoto in Photos for Mac, but my iPhoto library won’t upload into iCloud and any pictures I delete from Photos for Mac don’t get deleted from iCloud. There is no communication between the two whatsoever. I tried turning iCloud off and on and I got this message:
“8 referenced files in your library will not upload to iCloud Photo Library. Select referenced files in your library and choose “Consolidate” from the File menu to copy the original files into the library.”
I have no idea what that means there is no file called “referenced files” any where in or around my iPhoto library. Photos is really good at making my Mac Book over heat though.

Quicken does not work with Lion nor will any PPC-only application. Intuit wants you to upgrade to Quicken Essentials or you will have to get a different application to use such as MoneyDance or MYOB - MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.

  • Why aren't new photos I take showing up in new Photos for Mac? (They are in iCloud photo library)

    all software up to date.  did iPhoto to iCloud photo library transfer move and activated it both on phone and laptop.  (was in beta on phone even from weeks ago)
    only way to get photos on the laptop is to plug in usb and snyc manually.  i assume it's suppose to just be able to sync wirelessly just like  iPhoto did with photo stream?  at least from all I've read it will do that and a lot more.  thanks.

    Sorry no answers here but the exact same problem. New to MAC as well and the guys at the store told me the MAC should be seeing it no problem. Sorry you are having the issue but glad I am not the only one. If I find a solution somewhere else I will try to post it here for you.

  • Photo app (Mac) doesn't sync with iCloud

    Hi All,
    I have taken couple of pictures at home with my iphone which are in my iphone photo library and have by now also made it to the iCloud online.
    However, when I start the photo app on my Mac (OS Yosemite) these photos are still not there. While I expect that they should be there instantly, they have had now couple of hours (within a wifi network) to be synced.
    (Having a flawless synchronisation between apple devices was one of my key factors why I have bought an app. However, this hardly every works.)
    Does anyone know how I can force the photo app only my Mac to refresh and thus get the latest pictures from iCloud?
    I would much appreciate any help!
    Many thanks

    Make sure you have ticked Numbers in System Preferences > iCloud.
    You may need to sign out of iCloud and then back in again to "jumpstart " the syncing.

  • Address book empty on mac, won't sync with iCloud

    Hi everyone,
    I've got a Macbook running Lion and an iPhone running iOS5, I'm using iCloud to sync.  I discovered today that my Address book on my macbook is empty.  On my iPhone, I have all of the sync services turned on in iCloud.  I also have iCloud set up on the macbook, but the contacts box is unchecked.  If I check the box in iCloud preferences, it won't stay that way.  Once I close the preferences pane and reopen it, the checkbox is empty again.
    I'm not sure if this is a related issue, but this is also driving me nuts.  I have an exchange account that I no longer use that will not go away no matter how many times I delete it.  I can delete it from "mail, contacts & calendars" and in my address book, but it comes back every time.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you!!

    Ok, I fixed it.  I had to dump the entire ~Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder.  Once I did it solved both of the issues I was having.  Hooray!

  • Photos for mac does not see my Canon XT1

    Canon XT1, how does one import photo's from this camera into Photos for Mac? No problem with Aperture.....

    I have an SD card from an Olympus OMD, in Aperture it always recognized the card at the Import tab, Photos shows this in finder but the folder is grayed out and I cannot import the pictures. I hope this will be addressed soon, it's very inconvenient.

  • Frustrating  that either my mac can communicate with iCloud alone or my iphone , But the information on my calendar is not merging! My password on my yahoo account is according to icloud wrong , but it isn't ! Only pages and other apps could  be passed to

    Frustrating  that either my mac can communicate with iCloud alone or my iphone , But the information on my calendar is not merging! My password on my yahoo account is according to icloud wrong , but it isn't ! Only pages and other apps could  be passed to the i phone . The local store says I should pay for them solving the problem . I doubt they will listen to all the aspects before I search again and again (and pay again and again??) Allready been there many times, downloaded many things!!

    She was as frustrated as I and was going to kick the problem "upstairs."  She felt that by now iCloud had been out long enough for them to have resolved the issues without having to resort to fixes from the outside (so in essence, I would have to say that she agrees with you that they should be able to provide a resolution for their own software).
    I have more than just that issue on my MBP (iPhoto keeps asking me to "upgrade" everytime I open it, old Safari windows open when I restart or turn the machine on from a shutdown....I think it's possessed.  I'm able to do everything that I want to do, but it's very annoying....) and so I'll be working with her again when she returns to work on Monday.  I do have to say that she doesn't rush and has spent at a minimum 2 hours each night for the last 2 nights with me over the phone (talk about califlower ear!) 
    She had me do a reinstall of Lion last night and as far as I can tell, it fixed nothing....  

  • Using an external editor (e.g., photoshop) with photos for mac

    Hi,
    I'm just trying out photos for mac. So far it seems to make life a lot easier in terms of syncing libraries. However, I have been using Lightroom 4 and photoshop before and I am missing out on some of their combined functionality (not much I have to confess). What I want to know is this - is there an easy way to open files with an external editor e.g., photoshop so I can use it (photoshop) to stitch together panoramas or merge HDRs?
    I'm surprised this functionality isn't included in photos from the beginning. I can see there is talk of plugins but can't find ANY online at the moment.
    Thanks.

    Mr Ben,
    I am having similar difficulty finding programs that offer 'extensions' within the Photos App.
    I think that gone are the days when we could perform an 'Edit with...'
    My understanding is that Apple has only opened 'Extensions for Photos editing' for IOS.  It hasn't yet made it available as an option for OS X.
    I hope this changes, as many serious photographers migrating from Aperture and now using Photos on OS X will want to perform additional edits with third party software without having to export and then re-import images - as seems to be the only solution at the moment.
    Hopefully, behind the scenes there is a mad flurry of activity by App producers to create extensions for OS X that will eventually be switched on by Apple.
    I would love to know. Can anyone from Apple please advise?

  • I have set up all my mac devices to sync with iCloud and all work except for email. When I delete on one device, the delete doesn't occur on the other devices.

    I have set up all my mac devices to sync with iCloud and all applications work except for email. Incoming messages appear on all devices but when I delete on one device, the delete doesn't occur on the other devices.

    Thank you for your interest. I use apple mail to access my two accounts -I guess they are 3rd party accounts. One is a gmail acount and the other is a bigpond account. I admit to a lack of a high level of literacy when it comes to the language around all of this. For example, I am aware that I have an iCloud email account as I managed to set it up, but don't really understand the purpose of it as the last thing I need is yet another email account to oversee.

  • Photosmart C4795 Wireless. Won't communicate with Mac Computer unless its through Ethernet cable

    Hello,
    I recently just purchased a new router (MediaLink) and had to change the name of my wifi account. Before, my printer was communicating and working perfectly with my Macbook Pro (10.6.8). Since I installed the new router, my printer is not being recognized by the computer. It states it is "not connected."
    My first step:
    I used HP Setup Assistant to reinstall my printer and configure it to the new wifi name.
    It went through and connected to the internet, HOWEVER, when I got to the IP page, with the printer connected via USB, it said that "Device is not connected" and mentioned that my COMPUTER was not communicating with the wifi (even though I had full bars and was on the internet at the time).
    Then I unplugged the printer and plugged in the ETHERNET Cable directly from the router and the printer was immediately recognized. I was in the other room and printing. But when I unplugged the ethernet cable, the printer disapeared! and went back to its original state! "Not connected/found"
    My second step:
    I proceeded to search MANY online forums AND call HP (they were no help since my warrenty is out) and did a few different steps:
    Uninstalled and reinstalled HP setup and software
    Downloaded softwere compatable with Mac Os 10.6.8
    Unplugged printer, computer, and router and then replugged it in
    Reset printer
    Reset printer to factory settings
    Reset printing system on my computer via system preferences
    Tried manually adding printer via IP address
    Adding printer normally from system pref. (the printer was not found UNLESS I was plugged into the Ethernet cable)
    AND I HAVE HAD NO LUCK AT ALL!!! Before the new router, the printer has been fine! and was so easy!! What is happening and what can I do to fix it? Im considering purchasing a new printer Im so frustrated.
    Please help!
    Thank you.

    You don't need a new printer, you need a new router - one that supports Bonjour, which your Mac needs to communicate with your printer.
    Is this router supplied by your ISP?  Did you contact them about it?  If you bought the router yourself, I recommend returning it and getting a standard router like Netgear or Linksys.

  • HT204264 "If you exceed your iCloud storage limit, photos and videos won't upload to iCloud, and your library will no longer stay up to date across your devices."  Really?  Can't we support the existing "last 1k photos will be available in the cloud" mode

    "If you exceed your iCloud storage limit, photos and videos won't upload to iCloud, and your library will no longer stay up to date across your devices."  Really?  Can't we support the existing "last 1k photos will be available in the cloud" model?  If we don't do this, won't this kill auto-sync of new photos from iOS devices to our libraries on our Macs (if the Mac's Photos app has auto syncing with the cloud turned on) once we go over our 5gb limit?  I have 350GB of photos in my Mac Photos library - I am not going to pay $20/month for 1tb iCloud storage.  Please advise, Apple.  Thank you.

    I agree and am baffled by this also.  At first I was really excite about this new feature.  Mostly because I would be able to seamlessly sync videos along with my PhotoStream.  I just assumed there would be some systematic way to handle large libraries.  Like removing older files as the current PhotoStream does.  However, it appears that this new feature will simply 'shut down' when you reach your storage limit.  This just makes no sense to me.  I would have to double check, but I have all my photos and videos in iPhoto and stored on a 3 TB external hard drive and I think the full library is over 1 TB.  So, even if I was willing to pay $20 a month for photo syncing (which I am not) I couldn't do it because my library is too large.  Again I am just baffled why Apple cannot blend this new service with the existing PhotoSteam model.  My favorite aspect of PhotoSteam is that is uploads all my iPad and iPhone Photos to my Mac for permanent storage and it seems this is lost in the new version.

  • No photo stream on Photos for Mac?

    I upgraded to Photos for Mac and loving the new look. I also have the latest iPad and the iPhone 6 both running iOS 8.3. I loved the photo stream feature when all my photos, or at least the most current, would appear automatically on my 2 other devices. Its still happening for my iPad but not anymore on Photos for Mac. Photo stream option is enabled on all my devices' iCloud settings and on Photos for Mac preferences so not sure what am missing?

    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.

  • Problem importing videos using Photos for Mac

    I just install photos for mac, everything seems ok since I moved iphoto library to new photos library.
    But there is one problem, I can not import videos from my iphone, every new photo was imported but not a single video.
    The application said the format file is unrecognizable file type.
    I am using macbook air with Mac OS X Yosemite ver 10.10.3 also iphone 4s and iphone 5, each idevice using latest ios.
    Thank you in advance

    iPhoto did not support video syncing over iCloud. The new Photos app does. If you synced, or transferred your videos to iTunes, they should have migrated yo Photos. Enable Sidebar in the View menu, then check the Videos special Album.
    Your old iPhoto app and iPhoto Library remain on your drive and work as before. The iZphotolsb is in your Applications folder.

  • My iphone calendar won't sync with icloud

    I just set up iCloud for the first time.  Everything seems to be working however the calendar on my iPhone 3GS (w IOS 5.0.1 update) calendar is not syncing with iCloud.  What am i doing wrong?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    When you say it won't sync with iCloud, do you mean with iCloud.com or iCloud on a mac.

  • Photos for Mac stuck importing photos from iPhone

    I recently upgraded to Photos for Mac from Aperture. Upgrading the library went fairly smoothly. On my first attempt to import photos from my iPhone 6, Photos is now stuck in the import process.
    The import tab (device selected) shows the following:
    Already imported (2,509 items)
    New items (442 items)
    No thumbnail images are visible (just the default grey squares indicating items)
    At the top of this screen is an import progress bar that has not shown any progress. This progress indicator says "Importing 442 items" but the bar itself remains grey; I'm assuming there would be either a black or colored indicator showing some progress when the import process is working correctly.
    After about an hour with no indication of progress, I selected the "Stop Import" option, with no noticeable results. I tried clicking the Stop Import button several more times, still with no results. Let things be for about five minutes, with no change in status. The import still seems stuck; clicking the stop button does nothing.
    Next, I quit the Photos application. An error sheet appears: "Do you want to continue importing? Photos is currently importing files. If you quit the import task will be canceled." I select "Quit".
    Now Photos gets stuck closing the library. All app windows close except for a tiny square that says: "Closing the library..." The library does not close and I run out of patience waiting for it to do so and force quit the application.
    I am using a 27-inch late-2009 iMac
    8GB memory
    2.66 GHz Intel Core i5
    177GB storage space available
    Photos 1.0
    Photo library is approx. 107GB

    Update: Force Quitting and restarting the app apparently solved whatever was preventing importation of photos from the iPhone.
