Now with the advent of iCloud syncing, what I wanted to do is start over…wipe out all the names of people I had previously entered and then begin again on my iMac, knowing that all those newly identified people would also sync to my MacBook, iPhone, and iPad.Įverything I read in Apple help or on the internet described how to rename one person at a time. In my case, over the past couple years I have been haphazardly naming people in Photos on each of my computers and IOS devices, none of which synced, which left me with 4 separate People albums with a lot of inconsistent naming. So if you wanted to see all the pictures of Uncle Ralph, you could go to the Peoples album and click on the image of Uncle Ralph, and voila, all the photos where you identified Uncle Ralph appear grouped together on each device you own. But now with Apples latest software updates syncing is available so that if you name someone on your mac, that name syncs over to any other device or Mac using the same iCloud account. There was no syncing of peoples names between devices sharing the same iCloud account. Prior to the release of High Sierra and IOS 11, it was necessary to name people on each computer or IOS device separately. It’s not perfect but definitely better than having to sort through each of my 15000 photos trying to name all my friends and family members individually. In addition to us naming people ourselves, Photos app uses its own algorithms to identify people and that helps quite a bit in moving the naming process along.įor example, Photos app would try and find all the photos that have pictures of Uncle Ralph and then offer to add Uncle Ralph’s name to each and add those photos to the ones I had also named with Uncle Ralph. Sort of like keywording, but using the person’s name instead. You probably know that the Photos app on Mac and IOS has a feature where we can name people(s) in individual photos and then those people will be grouped together and added to the default People Album in the app. Special Guest Post by Rick from Baltimore
