Re: Dvd Player

[John Thompson]

Thanks to Ronni and Peter for their input.  I havelocated the app and it now 
resides in the Dock and all works perfectly.

 Hello John,
 
 The simplest way to open DVD Player in MacOS Mojave 10.4 is through 
 Spotlight:
 
 Hit Command + Spacebar to bring up Spotlight (or click the little 
 Spotlight icon in the upper right corner of the screen) and search for 
 “DVD Player”, then hit Return / Enter to launch it.
 DVD Player will launch and you’re ready to use it to watch and play DVD 
 video from a disc as usual.
 
 Kind Regards,
 Ronni

Don’t bother trying to locate it John. Launch it with Spotlight as recommended, 
then once it has launched, right- (control-) click its icon in the dock. Choose 
Options from the popup menu followed by “Keep in dock”. Much easier.

Re: Photos woes

[Susan Hastings]

Hi Rosemary, did you really mean 263 mb free? You need about 10% of your HD 
free for things to work. Hopefully when that big library finishes deleting you 
will have at least 10% free.

Re: Photos woes

[Susan Hastings]

Hi Rosemary, sounds like your five year libraries might still be too large for 
Photos to easily handle. It could possibly be related to the specs of the iMac 
as well. It would be useful to know the size of your photo libraries and how 
much RAM and hard drive space you have.

I upload my photos to the Mac using adobe Bridge, which allows me to set up 
albums and import photos into folders in date order. Then, I import to Photos 
and Lightroom, starting a new library each year.

I’ve found both Apple Photos and Lightroom don’t like large photo libraries. 
Even with the Photos libraries set to optimise storage on my Mac meaning that 
most of the files are in the Cloud. With Lightroom, I add photos without moving 
them into the catalogue.

Have you tried setting up a new Photos library and just putting a few photos in 
it to see how it runs? This would clarify whether the problem is the size of 
the libraries.

Cheers, Susan
