After sleep, the photo library must be repaired

I often sleep my iMac (El Capitan 10.11.2) and find in the morning that there is a window telling me that the photo library must be repaired, and I can fix it or quit. I chose the option "fix" several times, but that makes no difference. I talked to Apple support about this and was taken by the standard routine, but that changed nothing. Everyone comes through this?

Hi rowlandfromromsey,

Thank you for contributing to the communities of Apple Support.

If you find that you need to repair your photo library after waking up from his sleep, there are a few steps that I would recommend who can help you find the cause of this behavior.

First, create a new library and import photos as a trial and see if you get the same message. Assistance to the creation of a new library, see using several libraries in Photos.

Another good step to try at this point is using the function of disk utility first aid to check your hard drive. See disk utility (El Capitan): check a disk or a volume for problems.

You answer with the results of these two steps may help provide some following steps, too.

Best regards.

  • Cannot repair the photo library. The best way to restore from iCloud library?

    The photo library of the system is damaged and cannot be repaired.

    It is said "Photos has attempted to repair the library"Pictures Library 2015 ", but can not open it." .


    I first met problems with this library a week before and at the time where I could repair and open the library successfully, but lacked a month value of photos.

    Given that it was successfully in the iCloud library, I left it to re - sync - but this process suspended several times before the end, and the photo library of the system now seems to be permanently damaged.

    I have no project of marked or impression of faces in the photo library of the system, then I would be happy just to restore from iCloud.

    My plan is to put in place a new - empty - library and then that designate the library of the system.

    If I understand this right, the new (empty) system Photo library will now resynchronize with iCloud and will copy all the contents of this library of back to my Mac.

    Is this correct? It is the most effective way to restore my library?

I had my photo library become corrupted ten three or four times over the past years and have found it necessary to divide into single years to prevent this.

    How do you call a large library, I've never had a corrupt Library, I think that your problems are not the result of the size of the library, but rather something else. From my experience it is recommended to maintain a local upward, I use Time machine, but also have a second to the top using a third-party backup solution.

I dragged out of the photo library of backup to disk of the Macbook and put it in the images folder. I opened the Photos and a prompt appears that the library must be repaired in order to work properly. I click 'fix' and it starts. It stopped at 95% and gives me this message:

    I tried to update the computer.

    I tried an older version of the backup of the library.

    I even fixed the permissions.

    Drag you it directly from Disk Time Machine? A library of Photos should be restored by running Time Machine, otherwise the internal links may not work.

    Try to start Time Machine and restore directly from the display of Starwars.

    Select the pictures folder, and then open it.  With the folder of photos open in the Finder more window start Time Machine. Go back at the same time you did your backup, and then select the photo library and click on the button "restore".

  • What does the option "copy photos to the photo library?

    I explore this now app Photos (worst name ever) and I wanted to import photos in Photos. The problem for me is I want to let the pictures where they already are. I'm not interested in a database or the system that hides the pictures of me in the finder. I want to be able to right click and reveal in finder - "export image" is a terrible choice.

    So, I see an option to check in the preferences. It reads: "Copy pictures to the photo library" but has no explanation as to what that means or does. This is what it will move my photos if I select copy? (their disappearance from the original file)? It will resume photos - clutter up my drive? If we make a copy and I update the original in Photoshop - it will reflect this change in the Photo?

    So many questions and I can not find an answer to any place. Even the help files had nothing that I could find.

    It reads: "Copy pictures to the photo library" but has no explanation as to what that means or does. This is what it will move my photos if I select copy? (their disappearance from the original file)? It will resume photos - clutter up my drive? If we make a copy and I update the original in Photoshop - it will reflect this change in the Photo?

    Default is 'Copy photos to the photo library' enabled.  Then the pictures will do exactly that. Any Photo that you import pictures is copied in the photo library and managed by pictures. You can remove the original outside the library after you have verified that it imported properly.

    If you disable the option, pictures reference the file in its original location and does not copy it.

    This configuration is not recommended because you have to manage photos on your own. If you delete photos of Photos, you must delete the original outside yourself. You cannot use iCloud photo library with referenced files and if dot nee restore you from a backup library will need films to another drive, you will need to manually reconnect all originals. It is subject to errors.

    If we make a copy and I update the original in Photoshop - it will reflect this change in the Photo?

    It will not work. Two Photos will ignore changes to Photosho or lose the connection to the original file. To use an external editor in pictures use extensions to change Photos photo editing panel. Let the pics to send the original to the external editor.

    This help page explains how the import options work:

  • Hello! If I icloud library disabled, will be always saved pictures? I know that your backup stores the photo library of all devices and because I'm not all devices to be synchronized I think I'm safe and won't lose my pictures/videos. Right?

    Hello! If I icloud library disabled, will be always saved pictures? I know that your backup stores the photo library of all devices and because I'm not all devices to be synchronized I think I'm safe and won't lose my pictures/videos. Can someone please clarify?

    If you want your photos backed up, you must import them into the photos on the computer application that synchronize you with. iCloud photo library is a repository for all the photos for a given iCloud ID. However, it is not required for the care of your photos. I do not use iCloud photo library - import my photos into the library of Photos on my Mac.

    A backup of your device iCloud will save your current film, but if you remove anything from this film, then it will not be available for retrieval at a later date, because backups replace the previous backup version. A backup is so not an archive safe for your photos or videos.

    Photo stream keeps the last 30 days or 1000 photos taken with your camera if you have Photo Stream on, but once again, it's a temporary storage that gets crushed. Photo stream is intended to provide a method of sharing photos between the signed devices on the same iCloud account, but is not intended as an archive.

    Import your pictures and videos on a computer means that all photos and videos are kept in a library on your computer and will be accessible. It is the only safe way to archive your photos:

  • Share photos added to the photo library via the menu are not visible on the Photos

    Hello

    I started using DxO OpticsPro 10 to process Raw files. When I used the share menu in this application to "Add photo" pictures are exported but not visible in the Photos app. I see that they are in the photo library (Show Package Contents > Masters), but they are not visible in the Photos in the Photos app. However if I use "Export to Application" instead of "Add photo" in DxO OpticsPro the Photos app opens and the image is visible.

    You can't always do and changes directly to the photo library - you must use the program of Photos to import photos - adding photos to the library has no positive effect (and may even cause problems)

    When he tries the photo library iTunes is grayed out.

    Suggestions?

    Hi Jim Climo,.

    I understand that you are looking for help with synchronization of photos from an iMac to an iPhone, but you see not options for it in iTunes. I know it's nice to have your photos updated on all your devices, so I'm happy to provide advice to help with this.

    From what you described, your friend might consider using iCloud photo library, allowing photos stay up to date on all the devices that made possible it. You can learn more about this service here:

    iCloud photo library - Apple Support

    Otherwise, this article provides help with synchronization manually your photos:
