Hi

Most of my photographs are now in 'Photos'

However, I do have many photographs/pictures in my 'Pictures' folder 
which are NOT yet in Photos.

Is there a simple way to put them there?

Drag and drop or File > ImportÅ . If you have a whole it might take some

Sorry to be so naive - but which windows(!) would you have open to do 
this, Roger?

If for some reason "Drag and Drop" isn't working for you just try 
"Import" in Photos.
With Photos open go to File->Import.
From the import dialog navigate to the folder which contains the image 
files you want to import.
Select the files and go through the final import steps in the dialog.

Where, specifically, are you trying to drop them within the Photos
window? 

There are several places that will accept dragged photos, and you can
tell which items accept drags by simply observing the way they highlight
while you are dragging them. If you are relatively new to Macs or
inexperienced, this may not occur to you immediately; but it makes
perfect sense once you make the observation. And it applies to most Mac
apps. 

Here are some ways:

1. Drag them into the "Photos" item at the top of the sidebar on the
left side of the Photos window. You will see it highlight when you hover
over it while dragging. Once it's highlighted, let go of the mouse
button. 

2. Drag them into any album in the sidebar that is not a "smart album".
This includes "All Photos" or any album you have specifically created,
but *not* the special albums: Faces, My Photo Stream, Selfies,
Panoramas, Videos, Screenshots, and Recently Deleted albums.

3. With any album (or the top-level "Photos" item in the sidebar
selected, drag them into the big area on the right side of the window to
add them to that album.

4. Drag them into the Photos icon on the Dock at the bottom of the
screen (or on the side if you moved the Dock).

Thank you so much for this very helpful information, 'Roger'.

Sadly, nothing worked. :-(

So, falling back on past experience (limited!) I ran First Aid from the 
Disk Utility and then shut down my machine. After making a coffee, I 
restarted my iMac and booted into Safe Mode. I tried moving Photos as 
you described ...... and I COULD do it! :-D

When I restarted my computer I found that I could STILL drag and drop my 
photos from my 'Pictures' folder (is it called a folder on a Mac???)

I've no idea at all what might have been amiss.

Anyway, job done. Thank you for your help.

Hmm... I haven't ever seen that behavior.

Did it say that it needed to be repaired when you ran it?

Very interesting. It's possible Photos or Finder was in a bad state that
restarting was able to reset. Probably just a glitch! At any rate, I'm glad
you got things working again. : )

It doesn't work like that in El Capitan.

I'd have thought YOU would have known that!

Thanks. FYI, though, it's still not QUITE right. :-(

It all works fine if I use my other, 'clean', persona.

Using THIS one though, when I click on 'SHARED' I cannot see anything 
other than big grey boxes. Ine has a cicle with an '>' in it. When 
clicked, it opened up a video which DID work.

I'm a bit baffled, but remember THIS 'persona' was imported from a Time 
Machine backup a few weeks ago! ;-)

If you or anyone else has any bright ideas, please let me know.

Your help here in this group is much appreciated. :-)

My apology for not yet responding to you, good Sir!

I DID try to do what you suggested but it was to no avail. :-(

How so? Here's the output from running First Aid on my Mac Pro running
El Capitan:

If the volume needs repair, it will say so.

Hmmm. That is EXACTLY what *I* see!

My apology for doubting you. In previous flavors of OS X in First Aid 
there WAS a 'Repair' button. Now there is not.

Have you ever SEEN an instance of 'repair' in El Capitan? I haven't.

Troll much nym-switch? How's that for a bright idea? You got 'em goin'
so milk it again. And a high five to all you others who respond. These
threads double to quadruple the newsgroup activity, so go for it!
Otherwise, this newsgroup would die from boredom.
The OS is tight. The iOS is tight. Anything of interest is arcane or
happening during transitional periods for either OS. I love this group!

"Thoth is a Mac Usenet client that was popular many years ago, long 
before the days of Sickbeard and NZBs. Brian Clark made it largely 
unavailable in the mid-00s because it was (surprise!) so widely pirated. 
To get a copy updated for Lion or Mountain Lion (and prior), you had to 
email him and beg to be given the opportunity to purchase a license. 
He'd respond with a very odd and cynical mail saying that you aren't 
serious and you really shouldn't try to get Thoth. But the PayPal door 
was left open, so if you could get past all the negativity, you could 
purchase a copy and get sporadic updates, always accompanied by the most 
morose, whiny prose."
