Photos Gone after Upgrade to Photos for Mac

I recently upgraded to Photos for Mac. I just opened it for the first time. Out of the hundreds of photos I used to be able to view, only four appear. What happened? What do I do to see all the photos Icould see previously?

Did you complete the migration process from iPhoto Library to the new Photos Library? Did you migrate your main iPhoto Library?
Where exactly are you looking that makes you think not all photos migrated? You might be looking at Albums, not individual images (they kind of look similar).
Double-click to open the Photos or All Photos albums to check the total number of photos you have. It's displayed either on the very bottom of the screen or in the tool bar. Compare that total to what iPhoto has in its library (iPphoto is still located in your Applications folder and remains fully functional).

After upgrading to FF4 for Mac OSX.5.8 the Flash-based website builder WIX will not register any keyboard inputs; eg i cannot type in a title or use command+z to undo something, Why is this?

I am using a MacBook Pro with OSX.5.8 installed. I just upgraded to FF4. I have been previously using the online website builder WIX and now when i open up my website to edit it in a separate browser window it does not register my keystrokes. I can edit with the mouse and make changes but i cant type in any titles or names for save files or anything. Shortcut keystorkes like command+z also do not work.

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Why is the item count in Photos for Mac significantly higher after upgrading from iPhoto?

Since upgrading to Photos for Mac from iPhoto, I've noticed the number of photos and videos in my library is higher than what I had before. Granted I imported some photos into the new app since then but taking that into account there's still a big discrepancy.
In iPhoto 9.6.1, the item count is 13,394 and I have since imported 95 new items into Photos for Mac. The total then should be 13,489 but Photos for Mac lists the item count at 13,626. That's a difference of 137 items.
Even taking into consideration that Photos for Mac might be including the 32 photos and videos that were in iPhoto's Trash (now Recently Deleted) folder, it still wouldn't account for 105 mystery items.
Does anyone have any insight into this difference in the number of items?

Empty Event Folders on OS Devices after upgrade to Photos for Mac

I recently upgraded to Photos for Mac and did the same on my iPhone and iPad. Even though some my iPhoto Events have synced, most have not. What is the reason for this error? Also, How can I add pictures from the Photos for Mac application to my OS Devices?

Events and Albums are not the same thing in iPhoto. Iphoto Events are converted to Albums when you migrate to the new app. Using iCloud library is probably the best way to access these on your iOS devices.

My iPhoto pictures are all gone after upgrade to Photos

Can anyone please help!!! All my pictures from iPhoto are all gone after upgraded to Photos tonight. Anyone know how I can recover them?

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library.
BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

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.

How to delete iPhone camera roll's photos in new version Photos for Mac

Hi,
Before upgrade to new version Photos for Mac. I was using iPhoto + Photo Stream to manage all the photos took from my iPhone.
Photo Stream will upload all new photos to iPhoto; when I connect iPhone to my mac, I can use iPhoto to delete my iPhone's camera roll's photos to clear the storage space.
After I upgraded to Photos; the Photo Stream still running well, all new photos also upload to Photos' library, however, when I connect iPhone to my mac.
Photos doesn't offer me any method to delete my iPhone camera roll's photos.
What I can find is "Import Selected" or "Import All" and "Delete items after import" these functions are doesn't help.
Because, all the photos are already imported by Photo Stream, when I click "Import All", all the imported photos will "RE-IMPORT" again and the photos will duplicate in my library.
This is also a BUGS in Photos because in old version iPhoto when I import a photo which has already imported before, the software will pop-up a Dialogue Box to ask me options to choose between "Skip" or "Overwrite" or "Duplicate".
Do anyone know how to delete the iPhone camera roll's photos by using new version Photos?
Thank you very much.

Photos for mac problems

I can't believe there's no similar questions on here...! Well, after 'upgrading' I've run into problems/glitches and annoyances. Loading photos from my memory card works fine, and I mostly like the upgrade. But my Macbook pro retina- new three months ago with 1tb of storage and 16gb RAM struggles with resolving the photos, taking a few seconds to focus each photo. This was instantaneous with iPhoto. And when editing, it takes even longer to focus, sometimes needing to return to the main photos stream before clicking back in on the single photo to fix it. And instead of running at around 40 degrees, using iPhoto from three days ago, my computer now runs at 75-80 degrees whenever I'm using the Photos app. This is in normal parameters, so I've been told, but why the enormous difference?
Albums. There's a lead photo for each album but now there's nothing else, no clue to the photos contained within when you drag the cursor across. This is crazy and pointless. Especially so with iPhoto events. Nothing.
And a major glitch. If you bring up a photo orientated for portrait and pinch/zoom in, there's a lurch to the right that doesn't happen in landscape. This makes it impossible to zoom in on a certain point until you're half-way zoomed in. Not good.
Final point out. In edit, there's a weird choice, where you have to 'add' the sharpening button, definition button etc. This would be OK except it resets for each photo. this is insane.There's no need to have some of these buttons hidden like this.
There needs to be a way for us to customise Photos for mac. We can't flag a photo any more but have to use a childish 'heart'. We're not all fourteen years old. The white background is distracting. Let us customise it. And there's no drag and drop into Lightroom and some other apps too any more. Crazy, crazy, crazy. Anyone have a work around? Maybe updates will fix some of these. I hope so. But Apples' tendency to remove choice and customisability is very worrying.

Second, I spent months organizing curating my iPhoto library, which consists of 35,000 photos, into various events. The new Photos app has completely obliterated that hard work by removing "events" from the organization and then by jumbling photos into what seems to be, at times, a random ordering. Is there any way to resurrect my events and the prior chronology I had established for my photos? I am absolutely fuming at what occurred.
Use the feedback form to let the developer team know: Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback
This apparent mess is intentional. Photos organization of the library is automatic. It will structure the library by Moments - grouping the photos by location and date.
The only organization you can add are albums and smart albums based on keywords, etc.
However, your events should have been migrated. You should be seeing a folder "iPhoto Events", with albums for each event. Is this folder missing?

Photos for Mac - Important Library Management Question

Hello,
I wanted to make sure that Master files are not imported into the Library database file, as they are already organized in folder on my drive.
So I unchecked "Copy items to the Photo Library".
Now I did a test by importing 66 MB worth of 30 photos to a brand new Photo Library with the above option unchecked. The Photo Library database in the Finder still turned out to be 44 MB!
After opening the folder contents in the Finder I realized that the reason is because it saves the thumbnail version of the files I imported. Even though they are obviously smaller versions of the Master File, and the Master Files are not imported. It's still 2/3 the size of the original files!
So my total photo database is around 100 GB, if I import it all into my photo library and even if it's half the size, that's an extra 50 GB on my hard drive for thumbnails, that's just crazy.
Is there a way to disable thumbnails from being generated at all when using Photos for Mac, or is it inevitable that even with "Copy items to the Photo Library" stays unchecked that the Photos database file is going to have a big file size because of thumbnails?
Thanks,
Nick

This might be an instance for feedback in relation to 'preview' image sizes - if there were some control over size/quality the overhead could be reduced.
Sure, but while that would reduce the storage overhead, it would increase the CPU (& probably memory, both real & virtual) overhead substantially, as well as making the app sluggish when displaying lots of images at once or scrolling through the views.
So I think that once users tried it, they would quickly decide the tradeoffs were not worth it ... & many would complain that Apple should have done something magical to eliminate the drawbacks if that option was to be added to the app.

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.

Arrangement of photos in Photos for Mac

Downloading my library to the new Photos for Mac resulted in the oldest photos (by date) coming out at the top and the newest at the bottom. In iPhoto it was possible, using "View>Sort Events" to organise the library by date order. Does anyone know please how to re-organise the library in Photos for Mac so that the newest photos come up at the top?

I also have a problem which I just noticed with iTunes 12.1.0.50 which I took a screen snapshot of and if I could get an email address and a reference # to track it, the problem is immediately apparent. Its not urgent so if you could send me an email back:
I am listing my songs by Album by Artist and in between
* one album (August & Everything After) by one artist (Counting Crows) and
* another album (Recovering The Satellites) by the same artist (Counting Crows),
I find a track from an entirely different album (Coral Fang) by another entirely different artist (The Distillers).
What's going on?

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?

From Photos for Mac, how does one delete imported iphone photo?

IPhoto had this feature where when after it has imported all of my iPhone photos, it would ask me if I want to delete the imported photos from my iPhone. Also, it has a button to delete all photos from my iPhone if I choose to. Does anyone know if this very nice feature is still available in the new Photos for Mac?
I really like this feature to clear all of my photos with one click, instead of having go thru one by one.

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.
