Reader Stephen Love writes in about uploading photos that are stored in Photos or iPhoto to websites. He knows he can navigate to a photos library—an OS X package that can be opened—and find. Transfer photos from Mac to iPhone with iTunes. When it comes to transferring media from Mac to.
Photos makes it easy to download images directly from your digital camera to your Mac — as long as your specific camera model is supported in Photos, that is. Most cameras are supported, though, and more are added to the supported crowd during every update. You can also connect your iPhone to your Mac using the cable supplied by Apple, and the import procedure is the same.
Photos For Mac Stuck Uploading
Follow these steps to import images:
- Connect your digital camera to your Mac and then turn on the camera.
Plug one end of a USB cable into your camera and the other end into your Mac’s USB port, and prepare your camera to download images. - Launch Photos.
Your Mac will probably launch Photos automatically when your camera is connected, but you can always launch Photos manually by clicking its icon on the Dock (or by clicking the Photos icon in Launchpad). Depending on your camera model, Photos may automatically display the Import pane, but if you don’t see the title Import at the top of the Photos window, click the Import button on the toolbar. - Specify whether the images you’re importing should be deleted from the camera afterward.
If you don’t expect to download these images again to another computer or another device, you can choose to delete the photos from your camera automatically by clicking the Delete Items After Import check box to enable it. (This way, you save a step and help eliminate the guilt that can crop up when you nix your pix.) If you’d rather be absolutely certain that everything has been imported safely, leave the check box disabled, allowing you to delete the images from your camera manually. - Click the Import All New Photos button to import your photographs from the camera.
To select specific images to import, hold down ⌘ and click each photo you want, and then click the Import Selected button.
The images are added to your Photo Library, where you can organize them into individual albums. (More on albums later.) Depending on the camera, Photos may also import video clips.
You’re probably familiar with albums, which you may recognize from older versions of Photos. An album is simply a container you create in Photos that contains specific photos; it’s straightforward. Typical albums might include family pets or photos of your hometown.
Photos also offers three viewing modes — called Moments, Collections, and Years — that help you view photos by date. When you display your library in Moments view, Photos displays sets of images taken at about the same time, in the same location. In Collections view, photos are grouped by locations and dates that are relatively close together. Finally, in Year view, photos are grouped by the year they were taken. Think about that: Arranging old-fashioned film prints by the moments and events they document is tough, but Photos makes it easy!
