a backup iPhoto problem

Well, I'll give up iPhoto soon, but we come a long way and I used it a lot this past year. So before making big summer travel, I want to make a copy of remote backup of photos from last year, and that's the problem.

Usually what I would do is to save the entire library to Macintosh HD > users > (me) > photos > iPhoto library, but things are not good. The last time I did a copy it was about 20 GB, but now when I hit iPhoto Library / I to get info, I am told that the content is 2.2 MB which should be something else. Photos from last year all are in iPhoto to see and access, so what happens?

Help, please... Strong

You see all your photos in iPhoto, when you launch?

Then, check if your iPhoto library has been moved to a different folder.

CTRL + click or right-click on the word of iPhoto in the title bar of the iPhoto window.  It will show you a drop-down list with the wrapping of your current iPhoto library folder.

Click the folder enclosing in the drop-down list to open it in the Finder.  Now use ⌘I to check the size of the library. Is it different?

  • iPhoto problem. Should I upgrade to the latest version?

    When I open iPhoto (version 7.1) I get no rows of thumbnails.  I have a great picture.  I can browse through the photos.  I can change them.  I can't select or drag them.  I would like to make small thumbnails in the upper part in edit mode.  I've been scanning pictures, lots of pictures on the computer.  I have saved 1 day before this problem occurred, so I have a backup.  Should I try to rebuild the thumbnails (and how I do that)?  Should I try to restore Iphoto from backup?  Or should I try updating iPhoto with a newer version?  Should what version I expect?  I have OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.  2 GHz speed.  4 GB memory.

    Note the slider at the bottom right of the iPhoto window. Try to drag the left.

  • backup/restore problems

    So, recently, my iPhone 6 had a lot of questions (most applications would be closed from the opening, I couldn't update apps, all the texts and iMessages disappeared, Messages turns uses a lot of storage despite the removal of all, etc.) and a person on one of these forums recommended to back up the phone, restore factory settings and then restore the backup to the phone. I got no problem with that, until I tried to restore the iTunes backup. When I try to do, I get the following message: "iTunes can't restore iPhone «...»» "because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone, which is being restored. "I read that to solve this problem, I just need to delete the backup but the problem is that it's the only backup I had to restore my phone. Is there a way to recover this backup or is my only option again?

    Thank you in advance.

    It seems that the backup could have caused all the problems you had. Backup, restore factory settings and then restore the backup are a standard troubleshooting step, but if the backup is corrupt, you can not use and you can not get corrupted.

    You can restart all and try again, but I think that the results will be the same. You need to restore as new.

  • Backup/restore problem: some files not restored

    My hard drive died.  Fortunately, I had a recent backup.  I managed to restore most of my files and also finally got access to my file of Microsoft Outlook data (due to gurus on these forums).

    I'm now trying to recover the data for my financial program.  I checked the files in the backup folder, and they understand the data I want to restore.  However, when I go through the restored files, I don't find them.  I try to avoid having to enter again about 1 1/2 years of data.

    The backup was performed on a laptop Dell running Vista Ultimate and was stored on a USB external drive.  It was made using the backup/restore program that comes with Vista.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you in advance.

    I'm now moving extra files on my USB key for added security.

    I would like to know if there is an easy way to remove duplicate files that take up more space on my hard drive.

    However, the original problem is now solved.

    Thanks again.

  • iPhoto problem

    Hello!

    Can someone tell me what to do how to redownload my iPhoto for my new mac? I bought my camera in the States and brought it here in the Philippines, but I've never used my iphoto even once. its says I need to upgrade. I've recently upgraded to El capitan 10.11.6 v my iphoto application cannot be opened and is not on my shopping list. I tried a few suggestions of fantastic people here but unfortunately is said cannot be upgraded cuz iphoto upgrade is not available in the philippines...

    What version you have now? v9.6.1 iPhoto will run on El Capitan. If you have that or a previous version of v9 the iPhoto which has been previously updated on the App Store, then you must use the supplied Photos.app El Capitan. This can open and use an iPhoto library.

  • updates iPhoto problem

    I have updated to OS X El Capitan and iPhoto to photos to Mac about a year ago. But every week or so my computer tells me it has updates installed for iPhoto. I try to run the updates and it tells me that it can not be downloaded from this ID. I can't remove the update of the sweats, and I can not download it, I think because I changed for the new program of Photos. Yet, my computer keeps trying to download and install the update.  Any suggestions?

    What version of iPhoto currently installed?

    If you have the iPhoto 9.6.1, you are running the latest version.  Update does not at all, not in the AppStore updates pane. You can only be updated by reinstalling.

    If your current version is not iPhoto 9.6.1, open the fourth App store purchases.  IPhoto is listed among your purchases in your purchase history? If so, move the iPhoto application to the trash in the Applications folder. Do not empty the trash.

    Reopen the AppStore and the purchases of the AppStore tab.  You should now see 'Install' right of iPhoto. Click on "install".  It will install the last update.

  • Opening iPhoto library from a backup Time Machine in pictures

    I'm trying to make sure I have backups of all the photos of my old iPhotos library (something that I can open the individual files in the Finder, not just a copy of "iPhoto" Library). I turned on my old iMac that is not used much more to make copies, and when I open 'Photos' my iPhoto library is not linked. When I hold "option" at the opening of the Photos app, I see these options:

    I think I'm trying to access the old iPhoto library, so I click on it, but then I see this message:

    I tried to go to disk utility to repair permissions, but the problem persists. My next thought was to open an old Time Machine backup and try and open the backup iPhoto library, but when I do that, I see this screen:

    Any suggestions on how to access my old photos? What I am doing wrong?

    Thank you!

    Are these old libraries or backups Time Machine? TM backups cannot be opened directly, you must first use TM to restore the disk

    and where are these libraries? On the main drive or on an eternal drive? If on a DHM what format is and how is it connected?

  • Problem with the PC Backup on the external DRIVE on the network drive home.

    I made backups of my laptop wirelessly through my router to my connecting external hard drive attached to my desktop, when I used Microsoft OneCare. Since then, OneCare is being abandoned, I decided to go to the basics of Microsoft (MS). Unfortunately, Ms Essentials doesn't have the features of OneCare. I try to perform a backup using the backup and Restore Center, however, I get an error message when I put backup settings to location network - error code: 0 x 80070534, no mapping between account names and security IDS was done... the results. Is there a KB or a fix for this problem? I've looked everywhere for answers and keep looking, however, I have found no solid solution (especially scams, i.e. pc scanners and fixers of registry error). How is it that I could make a backup without problem with OneCare (that I have no more:{{class=fontblue}} {.}) Now I try to do through the Center backup and restore, the backup does not work! It makes no sense at all!  I have Windows OS: Vista Home Premium 32-bit 2 Gb RAM SP2; HARD drive external: Maxtor 3200 (320Gb) hdd personal

    Thanks, I found the problem. I had to uncheck the ReadOnly property on the folder that I traced to use for my backup location on my HARD drive. In truth, the property read-only (checkbox) is not checked, it is filled (designates the system setting) with a green square in the box (on my Windows XP desktop). I'm sure that others have missed this little nuisance. It's cheating. I don't know how many times I looked at the folder that I use for my backups, forget to realize that the ReadOnly is the default setting for the file. I no longer get the error message: 0 x 80070534, no mapping between account names and security IDS was done. I can't believe it's just as simple as that! My backups work fine.

    Karena, R, thank you for your time and help in any way.

  • Am having a problem with Microsoft Backup (Windows 7) on my new 2 TB HDD

    Just replaced my 320 GB HARD disk with a 2 TB HARD drive, cloned it & has developed according to the recommendations of Microsoft on 32-bit Windows 7 backup system.

    Have a 2nd internal drive (1 GB) I use to make automatic backups - my problem is that backup time went from 2 hours to 8 hours - probably because of the need to compress the data because the disk is much larger, although the total data remain the same, with about 200 GB.

    Have already run a full on C & E readers CHKDSK until a virusscan complete by using MS Security Essentials. No problem.

    Other than replace my backup (& TV recording) 'E' drive to another instead of the 1 TB 2 TB existing one, are there suggestions to speed up the process of MS Backup?

    Thank you
