Fix incorrect locations in Photos

If you have pictures in Photos with incorrect locations, you can fix them with the steps below.

In rare cases, Photos in OS X Yosemite v10.10 placed pictures at the wrong geographic location.

This issue is resolved in OS X El Capitan v10.11 for newly added pictures. For pictures placed incorrectly by previous versions of Photos, you can correct locations with these steps:

  1. Select an incorrectly located picture.
  2. Choose Image > Location > Remove Location from the menu bar.
  3. Press Command-I to display the picture's info. 
  4. At the bottom of the Info window, click Assign a Location.
  5. Begin typing an address, city, business, or other location name. As you type, auto-fill suggestions will appear. Select the location you want to assign to the picture.

Repeat these steps for any picture that has an incorrect location.
