So I always looked through the thumbnails on the import screen for what I knew is actually new since last connection.
(I don’t wipe the card after each import so the card has lots of old stuff on it). When I connected it each day the “import new photos” option always wanted to import everything off the SD card which is not already in the Photos Lib, including stuff I have previously imported and deleted in Photos. On the this last point, I also used a Sony cam on holiday and and imported directly from its SD card into my MBP. If you don’t want to use iCPL, when you connect your iPhone, only select for import the photos you know are new since last import, not chose the default “import all new photos” which seems like it will import the older ones too. Perhaps (if I have understood correctly) the way forward for you is eitherĢ. Photo stream is turned off on both (no need for Photostream for me with iCPL turned on). I have iCloud Photo Library turned on on both phone and Mac. I did not connect the phone to the computer.
IPHONE NOT SHOWING ALL PHOTOS ON PC MAC
When I got home iCloud Photo Library sync’d itself automatically over wifi between iPhone and Mac with no duplicates. I showed earlier photos already on my iPhone 6+ to people while on holiday, and I also took new photos on the iPhone 6+ while on holiday. I have just come back from holiday with family and I did much as you. I assume not or you would not have needed to connect your phone to your computer when you got back. I thought Photos for OS X was designed to eliminate duplicates, therefore, shouldn’t Photos have seen these were already in my Photos library and not flagged them for import? Was the keyword and description differences enough to make them look ‘different’ so Photos would want to import them? If thats the case and the process of downloading the photo into a mobile device thereby stripping some meta data, I will always have to deal with these older downloaded photos? What a pain.Īre you using iCloud Photo Library on phone and computer? Somehow when the photo was downloaded to the iPhone, it must have stripped the keyword and description.
The only differences were in the “Get Info” area of the Photos version, the description had the word duplicate(37954) and a keyword of iPhoto Original. I compared the old photo in Photos and old one that wanted to be imported again and the file name, dates are the same. Now I have to remove these and I’m worried that in the future Photos will do the same and unless I am diligent, Photos will make a mess of my library. These old photos already exist in Photos, no edits were done to them while on the phone. I also took pictures while on this trip with the iPhone 6+… When I got home, I connected my iPhone to the computer and Photos wanted to import the new and old photos. I recently made a trip and during this trip, I opened photos from different years of our family to show to our friends… I was showing these photos to my friends on the iPhone 6+. Photos for OS X is set to keep the originals.
