Viewing Photo on Mac vs PC

Hi
Ive edited my first couple of photos on my Imac using Aperture 3 - all went well until I loaded up to the internet and viewed on my laptop.
The photos as viewed on the laptop are very, very, very dark and the colour is totally different.
Both the mac and pc colour settings are set to RGB and I have calibrated both screens with the same Huey device.
Any ideas anyone ?
cheers Graham

Is the Gamma set the same on both? Make sure the Mac gamma is set to 2.2. This is the default on 10.6 but in previous Mac versions it was 1.8.

Apple TV and photos on .Mac

I have .Mac account and I do store there my photos in Web albums. How to view them in Apple TV 2.0. Apple TV asks to enter photo gallery name. What name is that? I tried titles for my photo galleries, I tried my log in name. Nothing seems to work.
Does anyone know how to view photos from .Mac?
Thanks

Keep in mind that the galleries can not be password protected for ATV access.
That tripped me up for a week or so, as all of my galleries were PW protected. If so, ATV will only allow you to remove the listing for your gallery; it will not show what is there. I edited one of my galleries to remove the PW requirement, and ATV is now able to display it.

Is there a chance that my mac air took a back up of these photos ? Please say yes and guide me through the steps to recover them. I need URGENT HELP please

If you didn't import them to Photos or copy them to the hard drive there will be no way to recover them.
How did you view them?

How to view (NOT download) photos on mac?

I'd want to use my ipad to view photos that are on my mac, preferably in iphoto, but as jpegs if necessary. Please note that I do NOT want to copy photos to the ipad, just view them using the ipad. And I do NOT want to use icloud.
This should be straightforward. After all, it's really just a file transfer mechanism that feeds into a photo viewer. But I can't find a way to do this. Has Apple really omitted this? Is there an app for this (from Apple or a third party)?
thanks

I use FileBrowser to view files and pictures on my computer.

How do I view photos on my Mac from a SD card without using iPhoto?

I just want to view photos (not make changes) and possibly download some to my harddrive on my Mac (don't want to buy iPhoto). How can I do this?

Here's what you do: First, click out of iPhoto, close the program. Then, go to Finder, File, New Finder Window. Then, do that exact same thing again. You will end up with two Finder windows on your screen. That's a good thing.
Resize both those windows so that they fit on the screen in a way that you are comfortable with. Then you can grab the images or whole files from one window, and drag them into another file on the other window. Voila, the computer will move the files.
For easier organization, you might want to first create a new file for your photos, if they are all of a specific subject. On the destination screen, click on File, New Folder. A new folder will appear in whatever folder you are already in. Type in whatever you want to name it. Then move the pictures into it.
Much more intuitive for all of us old Fortran programmers who migrated from Windows.
Hope this helps, -J

Why is my MacBook Pro slowe when I open it off line to view photo images?

I had recently activated iCloud. I have it set not to copy my photos or data, but only settings and a few other categories. I opened it offline in Preview to quickly view photos on memory cards. I found it slow, with a drop down box periodically flashing open from the top of the screen. It appears to be attempting to copy or save my images. I presume this is to iCloud, though I have it specifically unchecked and do not want it saved to iCloud. I have Dropbox, which I quit, so it is not a factor. I never save my photo images there either. In the past, it was never problem to open and view images with Preview. Now it is extremely slow to open and load images for contact sheet view. All this is recent with the addition of Mavericks and iCloud. Also, I attempted to get out of this by quitting, but had to resort to a forced quit, as it continued to do what it was doing.
Is there a way to be sure iCloud is not copying things and slowing down my computer? Is this a glitch caused by Mavericks?
I have done scans with Sophos Antivirus and it does not appear I have any virus. I have lost all the speed of having a Mac. It is now slower than my old dual core Acer PC. I recently added a Caldigit Thunderbolt dock which has worked great to add USB 3.0 to my early 2011 MacBook Pro which had not 3.0 ability, but this
was bypassed, as my card reader is only 2.0. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
<Edited by Host>

I think I have found the source of my problem detailed above. Apparently, there have been problems with Preview running on OS Mavericks, dating back to October 2013, which Apple has yet to acknowledge or address. Many have had similar problems with photo images loading very slowly to the point of making Preview unuseable.
It may also explain problems I have had with flash drives and hard drives that ran on my Mac Book Pro under Lion no longer working since upgrading to Mavericks. I found other postings on these issues.
It is a shame that I have to resort to Google as the best source to identify problems with my Mac and possible solutions. In many cases, it directs me to the source on Apple Support, which is difficult to find when one attempts a search via Apple Support. This could use some improvement.
I am new to using community support sites and Apple does not seem to provide simple, clear directions on how to get started. Jumping in with both feet, not only did I get wet, but I apparently "splashed" someone, as I got a hostile response from another community member on the first issue ever posted. I never did get an answer to the problem, though. I hope some find these comments helpful.
Oh, and wake up, Apple. We all would hope you monitor and glean information from these postings and act promptly to remedy problems with OS Mavericks.

Can I view photos and movies from my external hard drive? I used Time Machine and a WD Passport for backup. Since my drive on my MacBook Pro is filling up I was planning to delete some of the movies and photos.

Hello, eco1.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like you are wanting to move your iTunes media folder to an external drive and have iTunes this folder from this location. If this is the case then I would recommend taking a look at the article below.

Can't view photos or stream videos from websites on iPad 3

When I go to a website with safari, I can't stream video or view photo galleries. It tells me that I need adobo flash player. That is not supported for this device. How do I see photoographs or stream video from websites??

Jenpre.... keep your head down in that hurricane, and good luck. I hope it moves away soon for you all.
When I say "more modern", from what I've read many sites recognise that Flash can be a problem on mobile devices (phones and tablets) because it's very power hungry. So, if I understand things correctly, many sites are putting up html5 versions, which is supposed to be much easier on computers / devices. Quite oftne when I go to a site on my iPad it auto-diverts to the "mobile" version of the site, and I haven't found a single case where I can't see a video. To be truthful, even if not directed to a mobile version, I don't have much trouble with any of the sites I visit..... I can see most videos and pretty much all graphics, the same as I can on my Mac, which does run Flash.
Still, I'm sure a computing expert will know much more.
Good luck in that hurricane....
PS... there are quite a few good hurricane tracking Apps you know....

I can't view photos in the cloud from my iPhoto. Any one else have this problem?

I cant view photos from iphoto in the cloud.
I have turned on icoud in iphoto but nothing appears in the cloud.
Anyone have any suggestions?
David Winters

Do you mean at icloud.com you can't see your photos? If so then that's normal. They are only viewable on Macs running iPhoto 9 or later and on mobile devices running iOS 7.
So where are you not seeing the photos and what system and iPhoto versions are you using?

Cannot view photos in the stream on iPhone 6 but can with my other 4 iOS devices

I just purchased an iPhone 6 and the setup smooth but one thing..photo stream. I can take pictures and they go in the stream and I can view from my other iOS devices but I cannot view photos taken with other devices on the iPhone 6. All use the same iCloud ID.

Hi JinnaWinkas,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Try these steps first if the Photo Stream on one of your PCs is not updating:
you can't connect to the Internet, iCloud Photos will not be able to send or receive updates to My Photo Stream. If necessary, troubleshoot your Internet connection on your PC, Mac, or iOS devices.
Open the iCloud Control Panel and make sure that you're signed in to the same iCloud account that you're using on your other supported devices.
In Windows 8.1, go to the Start screen, click the down arrow in the lower-left corner, then click the iCloud app.
In Windows 8, go to the Start screen, and click the iCloud tile.
In Windows 7, choose Start menu > All Programs > iCloud > iCloud.
Make sure that iCloud Photos or Photo Stream is turned on in the iCloud Control Panel. Click the Options button and make sure that My Photo Stream is turned on.
Close and reopen the iCloud Control Panel.
Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it does reinitialize your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.

How do I hide and unhide photos in Photos for Mac

How do I hide and unhide photos in Photos for Mac ? Also, how do I delete an Album ? It appears that Photos is a work in progress that is only about 10% done. The Help in Photos is essentially useless. Where can I find the equivalent of a manual or instruction book?

How do I hide and unhide photos in Photos for Mac ?
You can hide photos in the Photos view, but not in the albums:
Select some photos, ctrl-click, select "Hide". Unhide from the Hidden Album.
Also, how do I delete an Album
You can only delete albums that you created, not the built-in albums.
Select the album in the Sidebar. Ctrl-click it. Select "Delete Album".
The Help in Photos is essentially useless. Where can I find the equivalent of a manual or instruction book?

What are the options for viewing photos with Apple TV 2?

I have an old Apple TV, and load the family photos on the Apple TV itself. On the Apple TV 2, I know you can connect to MobileMe and Flickr.
Aside from MobileMe and Flickr, are there other options for viewing photos on the new Apple TV? Can you stream them from a Mac, or can you stream them from an iPhone/iPad?
If so, how is this initiated from the Apple TV, Mac, or iPhone/iPad?

You can stream from a Mac via itunes selection (iPhoto events or a folder) - it has 8GB of solid state temporary storage, but quite how things are cached/flushed from here is a bit of a mystery - you cannot say designate 2GB to hold photos or prioritise photos over other material.
Even rentals seem to flush if you've watched them and they haven't expired - relative fell asleep during a rental yesterday so i suggested she watched it today and it downloaded from scratch again, and the AppleTV hadn't had anything but music playing in the interim. Silly this really. There's a post on another section where someone used 17GB of their data allowance to watch a HD movie as it kept reloading!
Yes you can stream photos from iPod/iPad using Airplay, but to be honest i don't think ATV2 offers that much over ATV1 for photos (yet anyway), and in some ways it's inferior.
ATV2 is far more responsive/uses less power etc but I'm not convinced you get anything groundbeaking unless you have a lot of guests who could use it via Airplay from their iphones (and with ipads currently without cameras, photos would have to come from somewhere else in the first place).

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.
