The window that appears prominently lists which version you have, such as âOS X Mavericks Version 10.9.5.â Hereâs how to find out which version of OS X your Mac is currently running: Click the at the top left of your screen and choose About This Mac. MacBook Pro: 13-inch, Mid-2009 or newer 15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or newer 17-inch, Late 2007 or newer MacBook: Late 2008 aluminum or early 2009 or newer Youâre in good shape if you have an iPhone 4S or newer, an iPad 2 or newer, or an iPod Touch fifth generation or newer. If your device can run iOS 8, Software Update helpfully offers to install it. On the screen that appears, if you tap Software Update, you see your deviceâs current iOS version. To see which version of iOS your device is running, fire it up, tap Settings, and then tap General. If youâre one of the billions who own an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch and the device is running iOS 8 or later, youâll spot the same Photos icon on your home screen (unless you moved it, that is). Your Mac isnât the only device that can have Photos funâthereâs a version of Photos for iOS, too. In that case, you can haul your Mac to the nearest Apple retail store, where theyâre more than happy to upgrade it to the latest and greatest version for you. If you donât have a high-speed Internet connection, updating your operating system can take a painfully long time and it may never fully download (say, if the connection times out). This chapter arms you with everything you need to know. As youâll learn starting on Migrating from iPhoto or Aperture to Photos, thereâs a fair amount of preparation you need to do in order to smoothly migrate from those older programs to Photos. If, on the other hand, youâve been in the Mac universe for a while and youâve been using iPhoto or Aperture to manage your digital memories, there are some important things to consider before launching Photos. Feel free to skip everything else in this chapter and move to more exciting topics like importing your pictures and videos, which is covered in Chapter 2. This chapter also includes a wonderful strategy for managing Photos in a family situation ( Photos for Families) so that your Photos world doesnât get out of hand. Youâll learn how to get Photos (if you donât yet have it) and read an incredibly helpful overview of iCloud Photo Library ( Meet the iCloud Photo Library), the Apple service you can use to back up and then sync your Photos library onto all of your Macs and iOS devices. (any hints on fixing thumbnails also gratefully received).If youâre new to OS X or youâve never before used iPhoto, then you can breeze through this chapter in no time flat. I thought this question related to the original post as its about library issues etc but if you think this should be a seperate discussion just let me know. I have rebuilt the library for the last time and have not used any of the apps on it (when it crashed this time it was already down to about 50000 so not as bad as original) I have removed the images I believed to be broken (but it still contains some where the thumbnail and the image underneath do not match).įrom your comment and other posts I have read from you, I was wondering what would be your recommendation on these apps, as you say they are tested, should I painstakingly find each duplicate manually or would one of these apps be better than the others for finding the dupes. I used the three apps over many weeks to clean up the library but things went wrong again. After the Mac was finally replaced I talked to Apple about resolving the issues, they advised the best solution was to export everything and create a new library and import everything and then remove duplication etc. I have purchased all three of these apps due to a nasty mess created by a repeatedly crashing Mac which ended up creating a 250000+ image library which only contained about 40000 actual images (duplicates on duplicates, a nightmare) the library also became broken with corrupted images and other complications.
