  1. Aug 26, 2019  My Live Photos don't seem to be available to the Mac - and other photos that are not live show up in the photos app under 'Live Photos'. Apple has really dropped the ball since they deserted Aperture IMO. I still haven't moved away from Aperture to a 3rd party app (a few large libraries) - Apple Photos app os useless for most thingsI need.
  2. Why Are My Imported Photos Not Showing Up Under Photos? On my MacBook I had my wife Airdroped me photos. I see them in “Imports” but do not see them in “photos”. In the past when she airdroped me pictures I could see them in photos. Has IOS11 changed a setting? —– David Korte.
  3. Not all photos that show in the Photos app are showing when I click on Photos Library in iMovie. Went to My Media in iMovie, clicked on Photo Library and selected My Albums, and only some of the pix in the Album I need for this show up.

Follow these steps to designate the current library as the System Photo Library:

  1. Choose Photos > Preferences.
  2. Click the General button at the top of the Preferences window.
  3. Click Use as System Photo Library.
