With Apple Photos app

Since trying to migrate 43k photos in about 200 albums to the new Apple Photo App my Apple TV is showing only a small random assortment of photos and no longer albums.
This was a ten year project of putting together family albums of family events. It is not there anymore.....
How do I get Apple TV to again show my albums from before "Photos."?

The only solution seems to be iTunes Home Sharing (go to iTunes, File > Home Sharing > Choose Photos to share with Apple TV). In the window that pops up, choose "Share Photos from", and pick Photos. You then get a choice of "All photos and albums" or "Selected albums".
In case you use multiple Photos libraries, this will only show the primary library albums (the library labeled System Photo Library). There seems to be no way to choose albums from the iCloud Photos library on the Apple TV. I've filed bug with Apple, and encourage everyone to do so if you're interested in this capability.

  • Using an external editor with Apple Photos

    After upgrading to Os X 10.10.3 today and using the new Apple Photos app for the first time, I was very disappointed not to find a way to edit photos in an external editor, as I could do with iPhoto. Sure, I can export the image file, edit it in another program, save it, and then re-import it, but that is somewhat of a kludge IMO compared to the smooth way this function worked in iPhoto.  I'm happy with the expanded editing options available within Apple Photos, but some things simply can't be done within it. Please, Apple, make adding this capability a priority task for the first upgrade to Apple Photos! Or is it available already and I just missed it?
    Regards, Jim

    In my case,  I open Photoshop Elements, then choose Open File.  I find the photo that I want to work with under "Photos".  When I am finished editing, I save the file to "Pictures" giving it a name I can remember.  Then I import it into the new version of iPhoto (called Photos) from "Pictures".
    The Media Browser in the Media section of the Sidebar is very convenient to use the library in other apps, but it will not always pass the original Master file to the When you are using the Media Browser like this, you will get mixed results, depending on whether the photo already has been edited or not.
    When I pass a photo to PSE using the "Photos" icon in the Media section to PSE
    For an unedited photo, PSE will receive the original master file, not as copy, but the original in the Masters folder in the library.
    For an edited photo it will receive an optimised version and not the original file, stored in "resources > modelressources" in your photos library.  As far as I can see, the photos in "modelressources" are the same pixel size, but have a higher JPEG compression than the originals in the Master folder.  The file size is slightly less.
    So, for edited photos you may be using a lesser quality image file, when you access the library using the Media Browser.
    Be careful, when you open unedited photos this way. With "Save as" in PSE you can write your edits directly back to the Masters folder and overwrite the original master file.
    I just tried to edit an unedited photo this way in PSE:
    That is how the Photo looked in Photos before editing:
    After editing a frame in PSE 12 I am seeing this "Save As" dialog in PSE:
    It will write back to the Photos library into the Masters folder.
    After allowing PSE to overwrite file it received the file, I am seeing this, when I try to edit the version.  Photos is now using the replaced original file, that PSE wrote to the Masters folder.
    I duplicated the photo in Photos before sending it to PSE, but since the duplicate is sharing the same original file with the first version, now bothe the first image and its unedited duplicate are both showing the frame added in PSE:

  • Problems with the photo app

    so recently, a day after updating to IOS 5, i was using my camera to take pictures at an event. i was using the camera from the lock screen and snapping with the up button. well as i was taking pics i would look at the pic, as one normally would. after i took the picture, the photo was perfectly clear no problem i was happy with my photos. about an hour later when i went in to view the pics, my camera roll was all glitchy. When i would scroll up or down there was a huge lag. looking through the albums, there were whole rows of blacked out squares where my pics should be. it looked like the pics had gotten corrupt. the biggest problem is when i clicked a picture to view it, it was super blurry. As i mentioned previously, the pictures were clear. normally you select a picture, and you have that second where the app refines the pictures. My phone/app was no longer refining the pictures so they were just blurry. so i restarted the phone hoping that would fix the problem. nope. i restored it to factory settings nothing.
    some other symptoms include, not being able to attach a photo, either to messages, email, or facebook. when i click a photo and delete it, if i select another photo it will display the pic i just deleted. sometimes when i select photos the photo app will just crash and take me back to the home screen. my diagnoses is that my pictures have somehow managed to corrupt the photos app, but i am really not an expert. also if i try to back up my photos, from either iphoto or itunes there are no pictures at all to select.
    i have called apple, they are giving me a replacement. but, hopefully this helps other people because i did not see anything out there related to my problem. i hope the next ios update can fix this issue, if it is one.

    I apologize for not replying earlier after i went to the apple store. but i will explain what the apple rep did.
    first off, i recommend trying several things before you wipe your iphone.
    1.The obvious, reboot your phone by holding the home button. If that does not work then...
    2. Backup your phone, then do a restore from backup. If that doesn't work then...
    3. This is where it gets tricky, my dilemma is that i had taken pictures that i didn't want to lose. Keeping the pictures on my phone was the most important thing to me so i tried a couple different things. In my original post, i mentioned that i could not attach pictures to a message to email them to myself. Otherwise, I would have emailed all 100 pictures to myself, no matter how long it took. There are several Extractor programs out there but they are a bit pricey, in my opinion. The one i used was called "Photo Transfer App". You can find this app on the app store, it costs 2.99, but its an awesome little app. It is worth the money. So if you dont care about anything on your phone, if you dont mind losing all your data, eg. notes, music, or photos, then in the next step you will restore your phone as a new phone. All the above steps were my own way to try to troubleshoot the problem.
    So at the apple store heres what they did...
    First, I showed the girl all the problems i described above. after doing all the steps above, she was like this looks like a real problem. I told her it happened after i updated to ios 5. she said its not the ios, she has seen it on the iphone 3. but i kind of doubt that, because i have not seen anything like this in any forum. but anyways....
    To save my photos she recomended i email them to myself, the Internet at the store was not that quick because
    of all the devices connected so she said i should do it from home.
    but the steps to email (i did not try this method):
    -click photos>click the 'select photos' button (looks like a square with a right facing arrow located at the bottom left corner.)>select any photo you want to email-click share-then select email.
    I had explained that i had already backed up my photos so we continued...she asked me several times are you sure you saved everything. She continued to emphasize that all my data would be lost when we restore as a new phone. i said no problem, i can do without the things i have on my phone. keep in mind when we tried to restore from backup i was having the same problems, so we decided the back up was also corrupt and was no longer useful.
    To restore as a new phone. the lady said this is one of the cool things on ios 5. i'm not sure if you have to be connected to wifi, but i would think you should be connected just to be safe.
    -click settings>general>reset>then click 'erase all content and settings'. this will delete everything. Make sure you select the restore as a new phone.
    this has fixed the problem for me, i have not had anymore problems. The apple rep said that she thinks either something dealing with the photos app or one of my photos has corrupted the hardware.

  • Apple photo app marketing.... Worst ever!

    I can understand Apples move to shut down Aperture and move on to the new Photo App.  I can also understand their implementation of an announcement by letting a few key Photo sites know about the change. Finally, I can also understand Apples need to keep new product specifications secret until its nearly time to release.
    But what I cannot understand is the lack of information for us thousands of loyal Aperture users.  They would not have to say much.  They could say something like... " to our loyal Aperture useres... Photo App will not only migrate all of your current libraries, add iCloud connectiviity, but all the capabilities you had and more will be available in Photo App".  That sort of statement would leave me happy and looking forward to the new release.  And no critical competiton sensitive info is released.
    The problem is that they did not say anything like this.  So either the Photo App will NOT have most or all of Aperture features OR the Apple/Photo App marketing team are idiots.  Because I am left with the feeling that they are dumping us loyal users.  It makes me want to dump Apple for my photo processing and DAM.... Just to get even.
    The last 15 years of my career was marketing and business development albeit a different business area.  But we  also discontinued old but good products that had good customer bases.  But for the most part we NEVER told a loyal customer that we are dumping thier Beloved product and replacing it with a new one with secret capability with no assurance that their same needs will be met.  We would at least say stuff like.... This new product will blow your socks off or  meet all of your requirements and More!
    I think it is nearly unforgivable to leave us loyal Aperture users on the lurch on this.... depending out our loyalty to Apple to keep us a customer.
    Maybe the answer is that this situation has been pulled from the hands of the Apple Aperture team and given over to the Yosemite team.   Where photo processing and DAM are oriented to the Masses who want to do simple iphone like processing like make this photo look like a scratchy polaroid.......

    The thing that annoys me about the "wait and see" argument here is this:  Now that there is a question of whether or not my Aperture library will transition to a Photos application that serves my needs, the last thing I want is to put another 6 months of work into Aperture only to find out then that I need to laboriously move that 6 months of work -- in addition to the years before it -- into another tool.  If I need to transition eventually, I very much want to do it right now to minimize the disruption.
    It would be polite for Apple to provide a rundown of what functionality will and won't be available in Photos at release.  If it's enough of Aperture's functionality (or hoefully better in some ways!) for me to use it, then I will very happily keep using Aperture for a year.  However, if Photos is going to remove stuff that I need, then I desperately want to get working on moving to Capture One or Lightroom right away.  As it is, limiting the promises in the announcement to the ability to move our libraries over, with zero mention of functionality once we get there, certainly leaves the impression that we shouldn't get our hopes up.  If their goal was to truly replace Aperture with something even better, why wouldn't they say that?

  • Has anyone else had trouble with their photo app? everytime I try to edit a picture my phone restarts.

    has anyone else had trouble with their photo app? everytime I try to edit a picture my phone restarts.

    You have to go into your Gmail account settings.
    Then Security.
    Then turn ON 2-Step Verification
    Follow the instructions to link a cell phone to your google account. They will text you a secondary code and once you've entered that your 2-step verification will be set up.
    Then you should have the option on the bottom of the page to add a device. Call it apple tv and then it will generate a secondary code specifically for your Apple TV.
    On the Apple TV itself, ultimately I think you have to enter just the first part of your e-mail address (before the @gmail.com) as your Youtube login username.
    Then you should enter your gmail account password.
    Apple TV will tell you it is incorrect.
    Then, retry and enter the long secondary password that google generated for the apple tv.
    That should do it.

  • Apple Photos app.

    I have been using iPhoto to organize photos on my MacBook Pro, doing complex edits in Elements 13 and archivine to the cloud with Adobe Revel.  OSx Yosemite just "upgraded" iPhoto to Photos, and it seems like a significant downgrade.  Is there one of the Photoshop cloud applications that does everything I need on a Mac/iPad to organize, edit and store in cloud?  I'm a farily serious amature, taking about 3,000 photos a year, with a library of 30,000 images.  If one of the versions of Creative Cloud will work for me, can the Revel library be converted?

    Thanks , I really appreciate the reply.
    In a way, I'm not looking to "compress", almost the opposite. I'd like to be able to export a video file from the (new) apple Photo app that is equivalent the the original file , not a compressed inferior offering !
    I must admit . In the past I used iPhotos and Aperture. Now its a mess. The new Photo app won't do what the combination of both apps once did and  and using Aperture is impractical now its unsupported nd no longer shares the database in the way iPhoto did . Apple exasperate me sometimes !

  • IPhone Sync with Yosemites Photos App

    Hi there,
    I know, it's still Beta, but I am wondering, if I get it wrong somehow... Will it still be possible to sync Photos from Photos App in OSX Yosemite to iPhone via iTunes and without iCloud Photo Library?
    Yesterday I installed the new Beta Release of Yosemite with the Photos Apps, which is quite amazing. Until I tried to sync Photos to iPhone. There is no way to do so. I still can choose to import Photos to iPhone from iPhoto or Aperture or via File, but no Photos App available.
    I definitely don't want to use iCloud Photo Library. Will I be forced to?

    10.10.3 is out now. You can sync photos to the iPhone with iTunes. You don't have to store your photos in iCloud Photo Library.

  • ICloud shared photo stream stopped working with new photo app

    iCloud shared photo stream stopped working since the last OX update with the new photo app.  I don't have access anymore to the sharing albums, even those that I own

    iCloud shared photo stream stopped working since the last OX update with the new photo app.  I don't have access anymore to the sharing albums, even those that I own
    Don't the albums show at all?
    Are you signed in  with the same Apple ID that you used with iCloud before?  And are you currently browsing the System Photos Library? Only one Photos library, enabled as the System Photos library can sync with iCloud.
    For me it helped to disable iCloud Photo sharing in the System Preferences > iCloud > Photos > Options
    and in the Photos. app Preferences < iCloud.
    Then restart the Mac and enable the same Preferences again.
    And wait.
    The Shared albums came slowly back and were all back after one day.

  • What the **** is wrong with this Photo app?

    This new Photo app is not working very well, i can't just simply press "delete" button to delete a photo anymore, really?  And I wish I had not deleted my iPhone app...  ****!

    Appreciate it!  I am more of a PS6 and Lightroom person, I only use iPhone to manage small Albums when I am on a time crunch...  now it seems a little more difficult to do with Photo app.  I guess I will have to get used to that.  I don't do edits in iPhoto, just albums, create and delete after upload them to my website.  Wish Apple would have a "trash" folder on the sidebar like they did with iPhoto, so we can just drag and drop to "Trash" on what we need to delete. 
    or even keep it iPhone looking but add all new features and keep the old ones as well lol

  • Do I have to use iCloud with new Photos app?

    I see that Apple has eliminated iPhoto and is going to require me to update to the new Photos app. When I read what Apple has to say about the update/change I am worried that I have to put my photos on the iCloud...  I read quotes like "If you shoot a snapshot, slo-mo, or selfie on your iPhone, it’s automatically added to iCloud Photo Library as well" and "iCloud Photo Library automatically keeps all your photos in the cloud" directly from the Apple website. I absolutely do NOT want my photos on the iCloud. I currently take photos on my phone and upload them onto my Mac when I want to, and I want to continue to do this. So I'm trying hard NOT to update my software until I understand better what the new Photos app will require of me. Any help is appreciated.
    Update is OS X 10.10.3, Photos app

    I see that Apple has eliminated iPhoto and is going to require me to update to the new Photos app.
    For the time being is iPhoto still working very well with the latest release of MacOS X 10.10.3.  You can try out the new Photos for Mac app, while you are still keeping your main Photos library in iPhoto.
    With MacOS X 10.10.3 you need iPhoto 9.6.1.  Apple does not sell iPhoto any longer, so you can neither update it nor purchase it. But you can reinstall, if you already own  iPhoto and it is associated with your Apple ID.
    See this user Tip:
    Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS... | Apple Support Communities
    The main idea is to move the iPhoto app to the Trash, so Spotlight does not see it as installed, reload the AppStore, and then to try to download again from the App Store - from your Purchases tab, not from the main page, since you can neither buy iPhoto nor update it, but you can reinstall, if your AppleID is associated with it.
    You may need to unhide your Purchases, if you do not see iPhoto on the Purchases page when you sign into the AppStore with your AppleID:
    See this link:  Hide and unhide purchases in the Mac App Store - Apple Support

  • With new Photos app, I can no longer drag and drop photos into other applications as I did in the past with iPhoto.

    With the new Photos app, I can no longer drag and drop photos into other applications as I did with iPhoto.  For instance, I have a photo collage app that in the past, I could just drag in the photos I wanted to include.  Now, I can DRAG the photos, but they do not DROP.  So, I have to go through the export process.  It is tedious.  What am I missing?  Where can I turn on the drag and drop feature for Photos?

    YOu're not looking in the right palce. That's inside the iPhoto Application.
    You need to look inside the iPhoto Library
    As I sid above:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there

  • GMail is not working with Apple Mail App: Login correct, says "no e-mails"?

    HI everyone,
    I just switched from my iPhone 5 to a new iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 8.1.2. After I put the latest backup to the new device everything was set up fine. Unfortunately Google Mail doesn't work with the Apple Mail App any more.
    I have two factor identification switched on and use the 16 digit long password which I set up with my Google account. The configuration details work (login, password, server details), the account is accepted, no notifications tell me that anything is wrong. The thing is, that the Apple Mail App doesn't show any mails. Also it's impossible to send any emails. The strange thing is, that the GMail App works fine.
    I really tried everything: deleted the account setup, changed mail server from m.google.com to smtp.google.com, set up a new app specific password through two factor identification... no emails appear!
    With my iPhone 5 I was a lucky user of push email, thanks to Microsoft ActiveSync. So I keep trying to configure the GMail account as an Exchange account (I know that Google switched off ActiveSync some time ago, until now everything worked fine with my iPhone 5, even push mail worked!).
    Does anyone of you know how to solve the problem? I don't like the GMail App and really prefer using the iOS Mail App..
    Thanks in advance!

  • Can't open existing library with new photos app on iMac 10.10.3

    I have upgraded my iMac to yosemite 10.10.3, with the new Photos app. I have been using iPhoto Library Manager to create and manage my libraries, which I store on an external hard drive.
    Now, with the upgrade and new Photos app, some libraries open and I can access my photos without a problem, but other libraries don't seem to open. Instead, I get the new Photos windows with the demo slideshow, etc.  I'm worried that the photos within the libraries I'm unable to open are now gone.
    Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice?

    How is the EHD formatted?
    If the external hard drive is not formatted OS X Extended (journaled) Photos will not be able to open them.  Actually iPhoto requires the volume to be formatted that way also but doesn't check the format before opening.  Many users have been able to operated on EHDs that were not formatted properly for a while but eventually ended up with a damage/corrupted library.
