When I connect my iPhone and launch Photos I get about 50 pictures that always show as "new" when they are years old and I cannot figure out how to correct this. If I select the pix then Photos thinks I want to import them but I'd rather select them to designate them as not new.
How to test an issue in another user account on your Mac
Let us know and we'll go from there.Yes, the photos I see have already been imported. Years ago, in fact. I followed the steps listed in the link you provided (I did not have a second user, so I created one) and connected my iPhones, launched Photos and Imported all that it would import (it was not the same group of photos that led me to ask this question) and I could not duplicate the issue. The link you provided does address what to do if the issue does not duplicate itself but since I am not receiving any error messages when this Photo issue occurs, I'm not quite sure what to do next.
I've tried again after a few days and the same photos that always appear to need importing still show as needing importing when I know they're already a part of Photos.
The link you provided and the steps I followed seemed to only make one thing different: when viewing my photos on my iPhone, the photos are no longer in chronological order. Photos from 15 years ago appear as if I just took them yesterday and I cannot find a way to view them by date on my iPhone.
Are you using iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone, Anthony?
Have the fifty photos been edited or have filters applied? The iOS 11 upgrade turned photos into new photos, if the photos had the old camera filters (Chrome, Instant, etc.) applied, because Photos on iOS 11 does no longer have these filters and needs to save the photos with old filters applied as new photos.
Yes, I am. None of the photos have been edited or had filters applied. This problem preceded iOS 11. In fact, I have yet to even put iOS 11 on my iPhone.
Old photos showing as new?
