I live overseas and got married last year to a non-US-citizen. I wanted to file "married filing jointly" and followed all of the steps including mailing my wife's passport along with my tax return to the ITIN office so they could issue an ITIN number to add to the return. I'm scared that my parcel containing all of this important info just ended up in a dark hole never to be seen again. I sent via DHL certified mail, so the tracking number says someone signed for it at the IRS ITIN address in Austin. But since then, nothing. We're getting close to 10 weeks, so I'm wondering if there's any additional steps I should be taking at this point.

Thanks!

I'm self-hosting my app's .dmg file, and submitted it for notarization by Apple using the normal method. It was rejected and the reason given was that my ID wasn't yet configured by Apple to have my apps notarized. I followed the prescribed steps, including emailing Apple with the app id and my Team id. That was nearly a month ago, and the notarization reject message persists anytime I try again. So I'm just wondering if others have encountered this situation and if you have any advice. Thanks!

Back during late summer 2025, my wife and I had a project to back up our combined digital photo libraries (we're newlyweds). We saved our 20 years worth of images (over 90,000) to hard drives and then I wanted to back them up to Google Photos as a secondary save, along with utilizing all of the upcoming Gemini features.

So I start with uploading a folder with about 10k images in it, and a few hours later come back to discover that the entire upload stream had halted due to a file being an unsupported format. After some investigating I found that I had thousands of photos that were in dozens of different formats that Google Photos didn't allowed uploaded.

In response to this, I made PhotoPusher, https://photopusher.site/, which is designed to have a seamless feel as if Google had always allowed these formats like NEF, ARW, CR3, RAW, TIFF, GIF, WEBP, etc. It's a lightweight app for macOS and iOS that lets users simply drag their folder of photos into the app space, and it automatically engages in a process of image copy-conversion-upload-delete(copy). Your original image files remain untouched. You can even include AAE edits, XMP sidecars, and albums can be based on the folder/subfolder organization of the originals.

The app received verification from Google, so you log into Google Photos from its interface. It's a one-and-done process, with plenty of customization options such as upload format, how to handle metadata, and you can even schedule upload times. If your drive full of images that you're processing gets disconnected, the app simply pauses, and will resume when the drive is reconnected.

To read more, take a look at the official mac app store page.

There is zero data telemetry outside of you and your Google Photos connection. Absolute privacy with no analytics, no third-party services, and no data retention. All of your data stays with you.

Maybe this app won't help out too many other people. But now my entire 20-year photo collection is in my Google Photos account and I can call up memories just as I'd hoped. And all of the photos that I couldn't use Gemini with now get the full functionality of Google Photos. If the app is something you're interested in, please let me know what you think.
