    It NEVER has made sense to me why people get sick when the temperature outside drops. Bacteria and viruses are likely to multiply in a WARMER climate. I wish people would make more a connection between HEATING THEIR HOME and the growth of bacteria and viruses and getting sick. It’s OBVIOUSLY linked to the warmer temperatures inside peoples homes (maybe also to do with the ‘dryness’ in the air too). Like, MAYBE the shock of the newly colder temperatures caused your Immune System to temporarily stop making immune cells?! I wish people would stop taking too many photos – like YOU’RE NOT A PHOTOGRAPHER, STOP ACTING LIKE ONE! Really, people and their camera phones – you should see them! They just walk around like their some Facking celebrity or MEGA ARTIST and take shots of everything – even bumblebees and blades of grass and grains of sand! Smh. 3:00 That heart is deadly! Watch out for that heart! :O. 3:50 I don’t have a Menu Bar at the top of my iPad :(. I may stop watching this now!

    I've been wondering if photos have any feature of categorising pics by keywords. Thanks for covering it Dave.

    Once you have created a new folder and a smart album for a specific event, can you delete the folder together with the smart album and leave the newely created Albu.m

    Links are dead.

    Apple NEEDS to give people the option to delete photos in the main library when they are deleted in an album. How do I find a photo I want to delete in my library if the album has been deleted?

    I hate Photos. Very few of my photos have the correct date. All my pictures were in albums of mY choosing in iPhotos but after getting a new computer, iPhotos was not included but Photos. Upon downloading all my photos (50,000+) I had no albums and photos were everywhere. We are now trying to re-organize our photos and so far it's taken about 4 full time days and we're still not done. Hate that someone decided they know better how I want my photos arranged and where they should be. Remember Apple: KISS (Keep it simple stupid). iPhotos was simple. please make a separate app we can use again.

    dumb question… I always had Microsoft computers so I backed up my photo onto a new iMac desktop.now I have folders scattered across my iMac desktop. I am afraid to drag the folders to the photo icon for the iMac. will this create duplicates if I do this? or will the photo be safely moved to where they belong. I don't want duplicates and I also like to sort through the photo with the file format on the desktop but I have too many folders on the desktop and isn't a good way to organize without using the iMac album feature. what I mean is I have too many photo to realistically be organized on the desktop and using the desktop for every folder and photo appears overwhelming on a desktop. yes I am new to iMac so I can navigate through micrfosoft easily but id like to become familiar with his and would like to be sure I can drag the photo folders to the photo icon of the iMac introducing the photo into the photo area or application if the iMac. I have photo backed up from android phones and Microsoft computers over 10 years worth and I am attempting to safely consolidate these photo onto a new iMac thanks for your time.

    Thank you, Dave. Enjoyed your video: organized, easy to understand the step by step directions, visual steps on the computer made the steps easy to see, get to, understand the progression.

    hi! I've watched a couple of your videos on organizing photos. What I'm trying to figure out is how to make an album and only have those photos In that album and no where else. Is that possible or do they have to remain in "All Photos" album? Thanks!
