So much wasted time, now I just use image capture to import and organize directly.
Still get errors from time to time.
Apple needs to hire more quality control, their software integration is going from a positive to a negative.
Seamless integration was a large part of Apple's initial hook, and continues to be a part of their drive to push services, it should be a priority.

Well, not an Apple fan personally but on this they are just top of class. Even if this story involves an Apple Watch and not an iPhone, my father-in-law some time ago fainted (due to an underlying heart issue we late uncovered), knocked his head on the toilet when he got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. He lost consciousness for a brief moment and when he regained it, there was already someone fro…
My phone is off at night and I don't have a watch. I try not to let these huge companies FUD me into thinking that I appreciably change my odds of surviving an accident by buying their technology, but I get that others see it differently.

iPhoto still works just fine, and I refused to move. And I never have it or anything else be the only place an image exists. Storage is cheap.
I wouldn't say that out loud. Apple's motto with software is move slow, break backwards compat anyway.
As an Olympus shooter this is good to know. But good gravy that troubleshooting path got expensive real fast. Replacing the laptop and the camera? Why not start by trying something other than Photos? It doesn’t even need to be a paid product; the Olympus software is free not to mention a good baseline since it - of all the applications - should be able to import photos without corrupting them. Edit to add: delete on…

There is a very popular professional audio website called Gearspace that had a much spicier name for a long, long time. https://gearspace.com/ https://www.reddit.com/r/audioengineering/comments/mftc0g/ge...
Oh wow, I'm surprised the name change appears to be so universally appreciated on reddit. It doesn't strike me as different from "porn" i.e. "unix porn" "food porn" etc, which are at least somewhat widely accepted. I assumed it was self-aware/deprecating humor, as in the people there recognized they were frequently replacing which gear they used beyond what might be strictly necessary. It was colorful, in the way a l…
I’ve been seeing this happen on older photos that had imported properly, and I just use my iPhone and view photos on my Mac and iPhone. Looking back, I’ve lost whole chunks of my photo library. It’s a bigger problem than I realized. I don’t have these backed up elsewhere.
You work in IT right? always backup
I feel like this is a URL that I don't want in my history

> Just buy a new one it's so cheap anyway Not a good idea, you are going to have piles and piles of SD cards that will be hard to manage, and you will burn through $$$.
I do the same (though not for personal photos, only for my professional wedding work). SD cards are small, I have a stack in a safe. Every professional/paid client I shoot for, I do on new SD cards. I have dual slot cameras, so one card just permanently lives in my camera and gets formatted between shoots, the other I treat as a one-time use card. Doesn't eat into my margin too much, and I appreciate the extra redund…
