Photos

My iPhotos opens whenever I log in to my MacBook, nothing is connected to iPhotos but it still happens. I do not have open at login checked so I don't know why this is happening. Does anyone know the cause or how to turn this off?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.4

Unable to upload to iPhoto Hi, I have been loading photos into my iPhoto account on my MacBook. There are a significant number of photos that are unable to upload (as shown in the 'Unable to Upload' folder). I have tried the approach that others have suggested on these forums (i.e. export the photos that are unable to upload, delete them from my iPhotos account and re-import them), however that has not been successful. The photos are .jpg's and .mov's files so there is should be no format issue. Other photos taken at the same time, with the same camera, have uploaded fine so I am looking for suggestions on how to proceed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How can I prevent Photos from loading each time I log on to my macbook? After digitizing many photos and importing them into Photos app, I now have the minor, but annoying, issue of Photos loading every time I wake the MacBook. I have checked log in items and that's not the problem. I always close the app when I'm done. How can I stop it from loading?

Just so we're all on the same page you mean the Photos app, not iPhoto, right?

Look in the System/Users & Groups/Login Items preference pane and make sure that Photos is not listed to launch upon boot.

Also when you shut down do not check this check box:
