The conversation about your Photos library has to start with where to store them. If you don't have enough space on your iPhone to keep your entire Photos Library, then consider only syncing the Photo Stream and manually sync any other albums via iTunes.

David, you have become my personal "google" I come to you for everything. From cleaning up my mac to the main reason I found you which is photos. These classes are always so helpful. And as I watch this video after having watched all previous to this. I am so happy to say that thanks to you 40,000+ Photos are organized! Dating back from 2005! Thank you from your biggest fan!
You're very welcome :)
David A. Cox can you explain why the pics added in Photo for Max OS X are synchronized on IPhone randomly and not in chronological order?
If anyone is interested in the greatest info that I have had was by using the Mels Speed Method (i found it on google) definately the no.1 treatment i've tried.
Thank you so much for all the helpful hints! After years of being an iPhoto hold out, I finally had the courage to make the switch to Mac's Photos, Your tricks have helped tremendously especially the one about creating an "Unorganized Photos" Smart Album for finding photos not in albums. I know you said you cannot delete from the Smart Album but I found you can use Command/Option/Delete to do so. It will also delete off of All Photos so reserve this function for pictures you never want to see again!
Thanks for another fantastic tutorial - you are my "go to" when I need help with my Mac. I often come back and replay to refresh my memory, I am one of your "older" listeners and have been previously self taught, I made the switch to a Mac only a year ago.
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas from over here in Western Australia, I look forward to watching more of your content into the New Year.
Your private lessons seem like a great idea to me, I am going to check that out as my New Year resolution.
Thank-you! As always, fantastic!
Thank you so much for going through the process of each step for organizing photos. You walk through things in a clear and concise way that I can understand, as well as you point out with your highlighted pointer. Thank you so much for taking the time. You're awesome! I will be watching more of your videos to better understand how to better manage my photo library.
You explain things wonderfully. Thank you so very much 🥰
Great video as always!
Is there a way to upload high resolution pics from my camera to the Mac and not have them stored on my phone as well, just remain on the Mac?
Thank You for all the great content as always David. You're an excellent teacher.
David, Thank you. Well done and nicely balanced for the wide user base you are trying to reach. I will likely call you for a lesson. All the best. Chris
Thanks,Dave. Need this - most of which I knew, but it's always good as a reminder, and learn something new at the same time!
Very well presented and easily understood, thank you.
Thank you David! This was a great review and brush up on Photos again.. i saw your other video last year but this is a nice summary! Cheers!
David, thank you so much for your instruction videos. They are excellent. I have watched many of them. Please keep them coming. They are greatly appreciated.
Always informative! Thank you
Thank you, that was very helpful.
Very helpful David, thank you for taking the time to put out this piece of public service.
Superb tutorial David. Thank you.
I watch another of your videos at the weekend and I learned more in 10 mins. Than I have in 10 years about photos! Sincere thanks!
Genial!! Gracias por compartir tu conocimiento!!
I would love to see information on how to organize photos when using Lightroom along with Photos on a Mac.
Thank You your classes are GREAT
Loved this. My photos are a mess! Do you recommend a scanner to scan old 35 mm pictures to my Mac?
Hi David!
Thanks so much for your knowledgeable information. I just spent hours deleting thousands of portrait shots created by the photos app on my mac, and I'm not sure what setting is set for my computer to try and pull portraits out of regular photos. Do you have the answer to this question?
Also, I just removed everything from the Icloud storage (it was full), and backed all of my photos from my devices onto my Macbook, and instead of using Icoud, I use shared albums and photo stream. I love the shared albums option!
Another well done video to manage our photos. Easy to follow. Thanks :)
I would like to know how I can see only the pictures that are not organized into some folder/collection?
Hi David, thank you for this video, great information. Can you make a video on how to organize and or remove duplicates contacts in an iPhone please :) thank you
Mr. DC, I hope that no one thinks, this is about others comments; This is sincerely only about my self. I just need to thank you, I am a highly detailed learner and I am an older student of Computer Science, and every piece of information that you are willing to share, I welcome. Happy Holidays
Me Cox. I too, like nrael serutluc a yr ago said, am a detailed learner. I’ve worked with macs since the first ones were available in the 80s. Upgrading software for a newer faster Mac became financially impossible some years
... became financially impossible so switched to a PC. Now a friend just gave me the newest MacBook Pro. WOW!!!! So many bells and useless whistles and tiny type screen reading. If it wasn’t for having iPhones last several years I’d give it back. Have just found you thanks to wonders of marketing to my tastes. Am trying to give a slideshow on a recent trip and your vids are a lifesaver ❣️👌 love the details and repeat of techniques. Despite all my years of experience I find little is intuitive anymore. Mainly because of all the nested controls buried in unexplained new choices. I need an overview of what can be accomplished and then how. So your basic information is invaluable. I’ve designed and built websites, and edited videos I’ve taken but all with more old school technology. And did I mention I’m almost 80 yrs young. So I too am lengthy and loving it. Thank you so much for your thoughtful explanations and repetition as there is so much to add to our mental filing systems. I’ve subscribed and will recommend to others. Cheers 🥂 and happy holidays 💕🌲💕
Hi David,
All the way from Melbourne Australia ( Smokey skies at the moment). Just want to say I love your natural feel to the videos, you do such a good job helping me get a better feel for tasks and your technical photography, light and sound is great, I can see you have put a lot of work into each video and I appreciate your contribution, ps I watch all the commercials and buy some of your recommendations.
David, is there a way to start fresh on photos? I have so many photos and I just want my iCloud to be clean and want to literally start fresh. Is there a way to put them somewhere whilst preserving the date it was taken? Maybe a separate photo library? (I dont think I have enough SSD for that). Please let me know! Thank you.
I have the capture application on my Mac and have COPIED photos from iPhone onto MAC. Not sure if the Capture application copied over duplicates when I used the application when new pictures were added to iPhone with old ones still on iPhone. I want to move all pictures to PHOTOS now on MAC. Does PHOTOS have a show duplicate button or a way to see duplicate photos?
Great video! Can you explain how you got your photo screen to look like you have it? I can’t figure out how to see the library in the list? Thank you!
Hi David, thank you for the lessons. I learned a lot from them.
I finished organising my photos on Mac Photos, but when I sync with my iPhone, the albums and Smart Albums I created on the Mac are not showing up on the iPhone, unless I search from them within the Photos app.
Do you know how to make the albums created in Mac Photos to appear within the iOS app?
Amazing vid, very helpful!
Just received my MacBook you are a great asset might have to play the video a few times in order to familiarise myself with the photo organiser video.
Good morning, Thank you for the lesson. For some reason after importing from my iphone the smart album does not seem to work? Can you give some guidance to get the smart album to work? Thank you again,
Thanks for this careful step by step guidance to remove unwanted folders and how to place and use pistures not yet in folders. I wonder whether there is an other feature, so well known to the iTunes song folders/ playlist: any song can be clicked and questioned for in which playlists it has been placed. I miss this feature for pictures in Photos.
David, this is exactly what I need to help me with my weekend task of FINALLY organising my photos (as you aptly put it in the title). The task I was dreading suddenly looks a lot more manageable. Thank you!
Great! Very helpful!! Thanks
Thanks, that was helpful.
Thanks Dave that was great - holiday greetings from Australia..
Hello David! First of all, I'd like to thank you for your time being spent on us. It is very useful.
I am a new to mac and I have recently been given a mac. I didn't know how or where to store my personal videos/photos and I found this tutorial to be very handy although now I am encountering a problem and no matter how many times I look it up online I cannot seem to find what I am looking for, so you might actually be able to help me.
I have recently gone on a trip and I have a lot of short clips of video which I had transfered to the photos app on my mac. I wanted to make a nice video using Final Cut Pro X but many of the videos are shot in 4K so I cannot see these clips properly using this app. I would need to "downscale" them but there are many that aren't shot in 4K resolution. My question is... "How can I filter my search so that it shows my only 4K video?" I mean, you should be able to do that creating a smart folder but I cannot find this option and it's driving me mad. Please help!!
Thank you in advance.
I look forward to your reply at your earliest convenience.
I beg you to answer. I am still struggling a whole lot because I cannot sort the videos into 4K videos.
Good video and understandable, thank you, may i ask should i be using albums or iphoto events and what the difference? :) thank you
Great David. My photos are already well organised but I did learn a couple of things I didn’t know, so you are always worth checking. out. Incidentally, I can’t use I cloud as the upload speed where I live in the UK is way too slow. So some other people may have that use.
tehn what do you use , prefer?
Thank you for your time and knowledge!
Hi David this might be a silly question,when creating a new album for photos which means I am doubling up in photos will this method use more memory on my computer or iPhone etc
Thanks
The hot key! "I'm kind of a hot key kinda guy, that sounded different than I meant it too." Love it!
Hello, thanks for your video. I'd like to use photos for my workflow but as i'm using raw files, it takes a lot of place in my cloud. So do you have a tip to avoid upgrading my package ? Thanks
Thank you.
David, you talk too much....it sucks !
David.....thanks for the video. If I move my photo events to an external hard drive will they stay in individual event folders? If not, (I haven't used the cloud) but if I remove all my photos and events to the cloud and completely off my Mac 1. Can that be done? and 2. Will they stay in the same event style? THX
David, Great stuff, you are awesome. Do you have any thoughts of having just one mega library that spans the years and has say 50k-100k photos. Have you ever managed such a large library or done a video about it?
Hey David, thank you for your very informative videos! I have a dumb question to ask you. So as you are making all the different albums do the photos move to that album and if you have a photo in more the one album do you have now 2, 3 or more of the same photo or do you have just one photo and the rest are a representation of that photo? What I am asking is are you making more of each photo? Or am I just thick and not following this right. If I look for doubles will find many of the same photo in different albums? I am trying to move my photos to a exHard drive and confused.
David can i please, ask you. I organized my photos with smart albums. If i delete the pictures from the mac, in order to save space, are this way i organized it will stay on my iphone ?
"DRONE-CRAWFORD" made me LOL brilliant!
Having recently come from Windows I really miss Adobe Bridge, specifically the ability to quickly rate photos on a 1-5 scale. I would go through a few thousand photos from a weekend and delete anything with less than a 3 star rating. The remaining photos can be searched and stratified according to rating, and there are other buttons for flagging specific files depending on what I was doing. I was shocked that nobody in Apple thought that ratings might be useful. To have a yes or no favorite option is far weaker, I could never use it to decide what to delete because all the remaining would have to be favorites. Until Apple offer professional options like photo ratings I can't see jumping into the cloud. Is there Apple software that you think might be useful?
spelunkerd Yes, Adobe Bridge
Thank you for the video! Very helpful. I have updated my macbook air (2013 model) to the macOS High Sierra and I have noticed slower actions/commands on my computer, does anybody know why this occurs ?
Can you explain how config iPhone to set and work the option "my photo stream" as same Mac do...pliss...just the iPhone part
Can you do a class on Apple Preview?
Clear info, friendly presentation. Many thanks!
if it doesnt delete from the photos album after deleting it from my personalized photo album am i essentially using extra space and creating a double of the photo?
Hey David! Thanks for the video. I have a question which probably lots of people have. I edit my pictures to add filters etc on my iPhone, so when I saved the edited pictures, it is saved as a new pictures - they lost information such as the geotag and date taken. This stops Photos to actually organise everything accurately. Do you have any tips and tricks on that? Thank you!
Dave, I'm a subscriber-please answer this question- how do I rearrange photos in my "hidden" album? Thanks.
David, I am in the process of moving from PC to MAC. My photos are organized on my PC, for instance, a parent folder of family and then sub-folders of the years and finally sub-folders of the events. There are also other photos of just stuff that are parent folders. How do I keep that organization when I move to a MAC. My last MAC which is still up in the attic was a MAC SE.....Thank you for your help as I have been watching all of your videos
This may become a "go to" video while converting from iPhoto to Photo. Over the last 10 years I've taken thousands of photos of events for a local non-profit. The loss of the familiar structure of iPhoto was intimidating until I saw this video and added PowerPhotos. Thanks!
Thank you!
Thanks for the class. I am fairly familiar with Photos, but still learned a few new tricks. One problem for me is that Photos on my Mac does not have the same options that you showed on screen. Such as, there is no Date Added or Date Captured, just Date. Also no Memories, Places or Media Type options to select. My Mac’s software is up to date. Why would Photos options be different? My Mac is seven years old - could that be it?
Thank you, David! This helped a lot. I think I’m ready to take on my own almost 10,000 pictures, yikes
When highlighting a photo or group of photos and dragging them to a folder and dropping them, am I seeing correctly they show they are now in the new folder, but are still showing in the original place also? Any way of changing this as to not get confused of the ones you've already taken ad dropped and the ones you still haven't done yet?
Love your work David from Darwin Australia
Thanks David that helps a lot.
One thing I was not aware of is that when you save your photos to the cloud the photos are removed from the computer so now I have to download them, save to a second storage them upload them gain, grr, very frustrating.
David great tutorial. When everything is in albums what do we do with the old smart file? Move it to trash if empty?
Thank you for the video! What I am confused about---
When I delete photos from my phone that are automatically on my Mac, are they also deleted from my Mac?
good question I wish we can get an answer....this question has been sitting here for 2 years now
David, thank you!! Quick Question: Under "My Albums", I have a lot of iPhoto Events that didn't go into the Smart Folders. Do you have any advice?
I have scanned in all the photos our family had and imported them into Photos. I also have a ton of video in Photos and iMovie and I'm running out of disk space. I don't want to pay for iCloud storage so I've totally disabled the iCloud for Photos.
Is it possible to have two photo libraries? One on an external harddrive and one on your internal disk? And keep some photos external, some internal?
Where are my photos physically on my iMac anyway?
Thanks,
Brad
why not just pay for it? icloud i mean
Hi, i created some albums after watching you video but I'm wondering how to delete the photos once I have moved them to the newly created albums? I was trying to clear out the photos tab and just have the photos in their respective albums, but if I delete them or hide them, they delete/hide in the albums too? I would appreciate any advice you can give and thank you for all of the great tips. I have a multitude of photos that I desperately need to organize!
Any photo/video you delete in Album folder cannot be deleted from the main Photos tab. So I suggest you right click all the nude photos you got and click hide maam. Then you can check the hide "the Hidden Album" by going in to the menu. Hope this helps.
Hi David. I’m trying to copy my videos from my iMac to an external HD but the videos are just coming over as a photo, any ideas why this happening please? Thank you so much, I love your videos
Dear Dave. Thank you for very good tips and suggestions. While creating my smart albums I have encounter a problem. As suggested, I first deleted all my previous albums. I then created a Folder for a specific year, and then created a smart album with the two suggested rules. When introducing the first rule (date captures-is in the range-date interval) for the specific date interval, I got all the photos for that specific year. BUT, when I introduced the second rule "album-is not- any), the number of photos went from 3912 photos to 293. Apparently the program is still remembering that some photos used to belong to other albums. Do you have a tip to avoid this error?
What a great voice too! 🤩
When you say the software recognizes the dates of your photos, does that mean the date that you uploaded the photos or the date that the photos were actually taken? I want to upload some photos that I took two years ago. Second question what is the storage capacity of Mac Photos, i.e. how many photos can I expect to be able to store on my Mac?
@ David , with my DSLR I'm always shooting in RAW +J-peg fine , but when I import to my Mac I only seem to be able to see the J-peg file ? . what happens to the RAW files ? does "photos" handle RAW files ? do you have a class that covers this area ?
Thank you in advance for any help / keep up the good work !
David - Is there a way to delete an album in iphoto events after I move the photos to another album?
I have read through the comments and I do wish so many of the questions that have been asked ( which are some of the many I have as well) would be addressed and answered - Updated to Mojave and photos seem to be a mess!
Hey David, my deer cam caught an object that looks like a drone, can you take a look at it and let me know what you think? I wanted to share a video with you but don’t know how!
Thank you very much for the class. Is there a way to save all the pictures from iPhoto and Photos together in just one place?
Google Photos?
Another great video David. I love how you explain things and it’s easy to follow you. On another note though, do you do Macintosh user group presentations? Either via in person or FaceTime? Let me know.
I do. Reach out to me via our Facebook page and give me your email address.
I sent you my information via Facebook message from your site.
Excellent - thank you.
Hey David, do you know how you can change the location of Photo library and iCloud Drive on a Mac? I have two drives: a small system SSD and a big HDD. I'd rather keep my Photo library which is synced through iCloud and iClould drive itself on that HDD. Can I do that?
Thanks for putting out such helpful videos. hmmm I want to see what's in your hidden photo album :-)
Hi David, When you create a Album and you move your photos into that Album can you delete photos your originally dragged in because now they are in a Album? Not sure if that makes sense? Or if you create a Album those photos will be in 2 places?
Hi David! Amazing videos by the way, I am now sorting all my pics out (over 15,000) a really simple way (after getting frustrated by doing it manually for a long time). I have a question, after I have created a smart album (which I did exactly as you explained - called 2019), my iPhotos on my mac wasn't 'grabbing' all of the photos in that year. I went back to check and make sure the date was within that year which it was. Could this be because the photos were taken on a drone? And not on the iPhone? Hope you can help :-)
hey Dave, I am having trouble transferring my photo library to WD My Cloud drive. but i keep getting a Mac Error Code 36, when ever i try to transfer it. do yo have any solutions on how to manage this
I notice there are two different areas to put photos. One in the flower in the dashboard and another I accidentally ran across and can't find again. Do you know why? And I also deleted photos in an album and they deleted from all photos also. I don't have a recently deleted option like you showed. Any suggestions on how to retrieve them?
David, as always a good presentation. However, can you do a presentation on a more advanced level? For example, how can I add a title or description to multiple photos rather than one at a time. I'm fairly adept at Photos and I get the whole concept of albums, folders and favorites. But, I'm trying to straighten out the main "Photos" tab of the 40,000 + pictures I have. I have scanned and converted 35mm slides and photographs to digital. Problem is that are dated when I scanned them and not when they were taken. I know I can change the date, but only one at a time. There must be a better way to change dates all at once or in batch. Also, I know putting text on a photo can be done through the edit mode but again it's one at a time. Is there an easier way to add text directly to a photo. For example, when I use my Apple TV to show photos (not slide show) without a description or title on the picture, people will ask me where's that or who is that. I use Proshow Gold to do great slideshows and absolutely love the product. But when it comes to straight photos, and showing them I need to arrange the main inventory of all my pictures. Again Thanks
I’m new to the world of iMac having only used Windows before. The tutorials have been invaluable to me and liked the thought of eventually organising my pictures. I’m now pulling my hair out as I seem to have lost the sidebar in Photos. It WAS there then Poof! It’s gone and I can’t figure out how to get it back. Under the ‘View’ tab the turn on sidebar button is ‘greyed’’ out. Can anyone help a man of advancing years (!) get back on track and suggest a fix to get the sidebar back?
great video. well explained!
Thank you. Great video!!! What is frustrating with Apple Photos in not knowing whether a photo was moved into a folder or not because it always appears in Photos. What I love about Windows is once you move the photo into an album, it doesn’t show up anymore in the pictures folders. Yes, I know I get a duplicate warning if trying to move it, but it is very frustrating. I wish Apple photos worked like Windows. Are there any plugins or Apps that make working with photos easier more like Windows? Thank you for your time. Brad
How do I rename an individual photo? So, in other words, change it from IMG_1234.JPG to dogpicture.JPG, for example? Is it possible?
Staying home and getting organized. I’ll Venmo donation soon. Thanks! The best advice was to delete and start over with albums that I had already started. I am organizing what I already have but I am also scanning in old photos from regular albums. After I import a batch, I change the date and put them in the wonderful albums that you have helped me set up. My Import Library is really filling up. I would love to put those somewhere. Can I/should I hide them? I can’t delete them, correct? If I don’t have any photo marked as a favorite and I select that, I would be hiding them right? Some of them are photos that I have scanned in, some are imported from my GoPro, and some of them I am not sure why are they are there but maybe from my daughter’s camera! If they are there, then they are someplace else as well, in my regular photo library, correct? Thank you. And look for that Venmo donation soon, I promise.
Help. I was organizing my photos using the Add Album 2016 . then add Smart Album. When I went to do the second step of adding 2nd filter with Album, is Not, Any it went from 5,000 photos to 29,000. What am I doing wrong and can you help?
Hi, David. My photos album file had reached to 1 TB and became very slow. Is there any way to divide or archive it?
Thanks David 🤓
