Photos for MacOne cna only guess what you are doing since you do not give details
the correct way is using the media browser - in the window that appears when you use the attach command go to the bottom of the source pane on the left and look under media ==> photos ==> PHotos - the contents of your Photos library organized as it is in Photos is there (if it is not quit your browser and restart it)

Nov 24, 2015 9:17 AM in response to LarryHNby Swiss Miss Lugano,Well, basically I will be in an application like Facebook. I click on "change photo" and my Macbook will pull up the "photos" folder so I can choose a photo on my hard drive. When I click on the folder, I am thinking that it will open up all my photos but instead it actually tries to upload the entire photo folder which is huge and it fails (of course). No individual photos appear.
Why won't it offer up all of my photos so I can choose one like it does when I am looking up my photos directly in my hard drive? My PC does not have this issue with third party programs. I can easily pick from the photos on my hard drive. But my Mac just doesn't want to cooperate in the same way.
