Recently the photos I import don't go to into my Library folder. They sit in my Imports folder. Why, and how do I adjust settings so they go into my Library folder?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.14
Most common cause: date on the camera set incorrectly. You can correct the date and time at the Image Menu -> Adjust Date and Time. This will cause the image to appear in the expected location in the library.
Thanks. That did work, but:
1) Photo in questioned appeared in batch of 2015 photos instead of as the most recent photo in Library. I had to scroll way, way back to see if it was there.
2) Why does this happen?
3) Is there a setting to adjust so it doesn't keep happening?
I noticed it just started happening after the latest system update.
Many thanks.
I see that the photo says Jan 1, 2015, but it was taken this week. I will ask my cousin the U.K. who took the photo.
Do you know if there are any settings I need to change so that the photos I import go right into the Library instead of hanging out in Imports and Recent folders? I don't want to have to keep transferring them manually with the method you gave me above.
I am a new member of the Apple Support Community and really hate to bother people. Maybe I should bother the Apple Care advisors instead!!!!! :-)
They do go into the Library, just not where you're expecting them. Right click on one and go: Show IN All Photos
It most commonly occurs when thi reflects the date on the photograph. What does does the info panel report for them?
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
