A few days ago, I downloaded the Mac OS X 10.10.3 Beta, Apples not-yet-ready for launch operating system.

It packs many improvements, the most noteworthy being an entirely revamped photo managing interface.

Gone is Apples multi-prong photo solution that included Aperture for the experts and iPhoto for the rest of us.

In its place is a new Photos app, which takes many a nod from its iOS counterpart.

And lets face it, after six generations of iPhones, with high-quality DSLRs and action-cams aplenty, most of us have more pictures than well ever need, let alone look at again.

Using the Macs touchpad, you can pinch and spread your fingers to zoom out and in on your images, respectively, just as you would if you were browsing your photos on an iOS device.

The most impressive part of the interface is how it renders your pictures instantly, turning icon-sized images into full-fledged photos in a snap.

But without any specific photo missing, I just shrugged and moved on.

But that wasnt possible through the Dropcam app, so I had to save them using Safari on my Mac.

Then I figured Id import them onto my iPad using Photos.

Dropcam engineers: Note, while its possible to share these videos and download them on other devices, its not possible to save them direct to an iOS device.

With my iPad plugged into my Mac, I scrolled through my photos, realizing these were not the photos on my iPad.

I clicked on the apps various tabs, and finally came across my iPads library when I clicked on the Import button.

But the only thing that would let me do was copy the images on my iPad onto my computer so thats what I did, requesting they be deleted from the device once uploaded.

That actually never happened; my iPad still has the images on it, even though they were imported to my Macs photo library.

This is understandable for a beta app, if still disappointing.

And it was then that I realized what was missing between Photos and iPhoto: a sidebar.

As Photos first glance turned into stone-cold reality, it seemed like the new app had forsaken all of these crucial features.

Relieved, and ready to love Photos again, I dragged my videos onto the iPad icon only to wait, this cant be the app wouldnt copy my video onto my iPad.

Think about that sentence for a moment, and maybe give it another read if you need to.

And whats worse, once youre in iTunes, you select your iPad and then the Photos setting to import your video.

Also, once videos are copied to the tablet, they dont appear in the Videos app they are placed into the Photos app, mixed in with your pictures.).

But this experience, while mixed, shows how much further Apple has to go before it untangles the knot introduced by its two distinct operating systems.

Technologies like Yosemites Continuity show the potential of a realm in which all Apple devices work in harmony, but the reality, once you start using it, is still a lot of discord.
