    You have posted in the Apple Music forum. I'm going to ask the moderators to move it to the Photos for Mac forum ( Photos for Mac ) where there are a number of people who can help. You may also want to reply to this post with more specifics about what questions you have.

    Follow FoxFirth's suggestion and post your questions, and maybe someone can answer them. This is not a chatroom with immediate responses though.

    Sure

     

    You can post your question in the Photos for Mac forum - include system details and context as we can not see you and know nothing except what you post - this article will help you ask good questions - Writing an effective Apple Support Communities question

     

    You also have free Apple support for an initial period (I believe it is 90 days)

     

    And your local Apple store has classes

     

    Often the biggest learning curve is moving from a file management paradigm  to a photo management paradigm - in Photos you have your photos in a database and they are never modified until you export them - all edits are virtual and recored in the database so the editing is nondestructive and no matter how many edits yo make there is no image degradation and your digital negative is alway preserved and available - this means that nothing is ever done directly by everything is done using the Photos program

    I would first like to know how to make a album within on album if you know what i mean?

    for exemple (that's how i did it in my windows laptop)

    - Album : Traveling and within that album i would like to make albums with ; USA, Paris, Italie, Spain ,...

    - Album : DisneyLand Paris (I'm from Belgium) and than in that album other albums with the dates that i go (and of cours always pictures in it ) ?

    is that something possible or not?

     

    And i would like to know how to keep my pictures in my Mac but that it doesn't share it in my iPhone trough the iCloud? (certainly not those who i take with my reflex Canon my iPhone is getting full , and i don't need it in my Mac & iPhone )?

     

    And i tried to call to the Apple support and there not that good over here in Belgium maybe i could try and take some lessons for it but i just need to find the time with my work

     

    Thanks for your answer

    You can not make an album within an album - you make albums and then you make folders to organize the albums - albums only hold photos, folders hold albums or other folders

     

    To have photos only on your Mac do not use iCloud Photo library or MyPhotoStream as those services will send photos to your IOS devices

    this describes both ICPL and iTunes sync - Keep your photos safely stored and up to date on all your devices - Apple Support

    Hi LN,

     

    sorry for the late respond but i haven't been a lot at home Sorry for my way of expression but you understood what i meant i know it's maybe a lot to ask but can you help me? How do i make an album and files in the albums? i searched everywhere but i just can't seem to get it al worked out .. i just want to organise al of my photo albums ... Like how do i work with finder and put albums or my pictures in there? And can't we just select some pictures to go in iCloud and some not?

     

    i'm sorry for asking so much it's the first time i work with an Mac computer and it's not that easy to understand it

     

    Thanks for everything

    You can not use the finder with your Photos photos - using the finder on an Mac is the same as using the Windows file management system and does not involve Photos for Mac in any way - you can not use both on the same photos

     

    If you are working with the finder rather than Photos then you upload the photos you want in iCloud using Safari and uploading to iCloud.com - again this does not involve Photos for Mac
