I noticed there is no intuitive way to eject the iOS device from Photos. No up arrow, and right clicking does not bring up an eject option. I do not want to enlarge the "other" space of my iOS device by not ejecting it properly.
iPad, iOS 8.3
Photos on what?
Yosemite 10.10.3 on an iMac. New Photos App doesn't have eject option for iOS Devices when they are plugged in.
Is there an icon in Finder or your desktop?
No, there is not. When I sync the iOS device, iTunes and Photos open. There is an arrow in iTunes, but no eject option in Photos.
If so, Drag it to trash. If not, I'm sorry but I'm not a Genius
Thank you for taking the time, but that's is not the solution. Just need to know if and how to eject devices from the new Photos App on the Mac. Anyone? Bueller?
I too have noticed this. Yesterday after downloading photos from my iPhone 5s to Mac Photos for the first time since iOS and OSX updates on the weekend. I do not have the option to sync this phone to iTunes when connected ticked so only Photos opens. After download I wanted to eject the phone but noted no eject arrow in Photos, I went to a new Finder window and was surprised to see the phone was not listed under Devices so I had to launch iTunes and allow a sync to complete before I could eject. This is plainly not right, the industry and Apple themselves tell us constantly that we must "Eject" before removal of a USB device. If not one usually gets a dialogue box to say the device was not properly ejected.
I've experienced this too. It could potentially a bug. Apple, please fix it ASAP. My temporary solution is to quit Photos/iTunes apps before unplugging iOS devices.
As MorrisSoak mentioned, recently there was an update that would allow one to use photos you're synced. You should be able to find them by tapping the "Photos" icon on your Dock. The capability occurs when you're syncing with the new update for the first time.
I don't recall having to "eject" any devices. After you're finished syncing, just unplug your device.
that doesn't work either. i have the same problem
poikkeus1 - hmm- thanks! i used to get an error message if I just unplugged without ejecting. i just tried it and it was fine.
How do you eject your iOS device from photos? Right clicking does not bring up the menu.
