.apalbum files in iPhoto/Photos

I am running Yosemite 10.10.5 on a Mac mini (mid-2010). 2.66 Ghz Intel core 2 duo 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3.  Updated since the Mavericks in April 2016, now trying to "Restore" saved from the clouds Zip files (so I can wipe) and we found a lot of files .apalbum.  Although I know that these are files of the opening, I never had Aperture, only iPhoto (v9.6.1) & then Photos (v.1.0.1), with the upgrade to Yosemite.  My questions are the following: (1) are these .apalbum relevant/necessary files to my iPhoto & photo files?  (2) if so, how could they be opened without opening?  or (3) If no, why they are there and can I blow them before restoring my backups?

Chances are that you do not have a usable backup - so far that no base backup is working on an iPhoto or a library of Photos - you have a local backup? Why do you need to restore a backup?

  • Vs iPhoto photos

    When Photos for Mac was introduced, it was installed on my Mac, but I still have iPhoto. How can I get rid of iPhoto and its library connected (so-called Photos has all my iPhoto library and more?)?

    How can I get rid of iPhoto and its library connected (so-called Photos has all my iPhoto library and more?)?

    There is no need to be in a hurry to get rid of iPhoto and the iPhoto library. The image to the iPhoto library files are stored in the same place as image files in your photo library, so both libraries together share storage, see this link: Photos saves disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture - Apple Support libraries

    You can take your time to check, if all the photos in your iPhoto Library migrated well library and if you need to copy captions or titles of your iPhoto Photos on events.

    Also your smart albums and books or calendars may not have been migrated completely, see this link: How Photos handles content and metadata for iPhoto and Aperture - Apple Support

    If you have iPhoto 9.6.1 you can always launch and compare libraries.

    When you are finished, make a backup of the iPhoto library and the iPhoto application and then simply delete them using the Finder. Then empty the trash.  He will not free storage however.

  • MAC - impossible to find "Pictures folder" / Iphoto photo library and open the Iphoto Application at all

    Hi all

    I have Apple devices for a few years now, but I still find it difficult to understand the system. I want to put an end to that, so I finally registered.

    I try to look at the tutorials and read the forums, but I can't find concrete answers to my situation.

    First of all, in my application of Photos of my MacBook, I remove hundreds of photos and videos, then I go to recently deleted screen and I delete them all permanently.

    However my disk space is the same before under 'Storage' summary when I check "to about this Mac". I restarted the Mac and waited for days, the space does not release upward.

    Then I read in a forum and found the following answer:

    Your photos has not deleted because they still exist in iPhoto or Aperture, whatever you use. Photos saves disk space by creating links to the already existing files in iPhoto/Aperture, rather than duplicate. This means that if you want to delete a file, you must make sure that it has deleted all.

    If you can live without ever using iPhoto/Aperture once again, go to your Pictures folder and delete iPhoto Library and Aperture Library . In this way, the only copies of your photos will be those photos, and removing free space on your computer.


    The questions are the following:


    (1) after reading this, I decided to look it up in my pictures folder in the Finder to locate the iPhoto library, however it is not there on the left side, after reading the forums, I still cannot locate the iPhoto library anywhere.

    (2) in case I finally find my iPhoto library and delete it, are the images that I see now in the deleted Application Photos?

    (3) another curiosity, when I try to open IPHOTO, the following message appears:

    And then after trying the 'search App Store':

    I did not need to actually use my iPhoto or App Photos in particular, I do not yet fully understand the difference. I want to just my photos to be stored in ONE place and when I take hours to remove them permanently, get my rear space and do not learn, they still exist elsewhere (iPhoto library).

    Also please help me understand what am I supposed to do with the iPhoto application now that gives me these error messages.

    Thank you very much!

    (1) after reading this, I decided to look it up in my pictures folder in the Finder to locate the iPhoto library, however it is not there on the left side, after reading the forums, I still cannot locate the iPhoto library anywhere.

    The images folder must be manually added to the sidebar.

    Open the Finder preferences:

    • Click anywhere on the empty office to bring the Finder to the front, then go to the Finder menu in the main menu bar, open "Preferences".
      Click the tab of the sidebar and add all the items to the sidebar, you want to see.

    Now, open the images in the sidebar folder in the Finder.  Is your photo library in iPhoto there?

    Then drag it to an external drive to make a backup copy, then delete it and empty the trash.  Accidentally delete the photo library.

    (2) in case I finally find my iPhoto library and delete it, are the images that I see now in the deleted Application Photos?

    No, the photos in your library of Photos and the iPhoto library are separate files.  It was created by hard links.

    Hard links are new files, which use the same entry in the table. They store the contents in blocks of same on the disks, so the entries are not duplicated, but if you remove one of the linked files, the others will remain. The storage will be released, when the last linked file has been deleted.

  • Could not find iPhoto/Photos to import into Lightroom

    Hi-

    I'm new to Lightroom. I downloaded the creative Amazon Cloud literally last night. When I click on the "Import" button, it evokes the access to the essentially all of the files on my computer with the exception of the pictures that have been uploaded to iPhoto/photos for October 2015. I tried all means to find a link to these photos, and it's as if they don't exist to Lightroom. Outside of Lightroom, I noticed now that when I look at 'Images' in my Finder window, there are all my old photos (before 10/2015) and a file called "iPhoto library" and a file called "photo library". None of these files can be opened from the finder. If the photo is opened, all the images are there.

    I feel like there is something corrupt going on behind the scenes that is bad orientation of my photos. Any advice would be much appreciated!

    -ALlison

    Right-click on the photo library, and then select "view the contents of the package. What happens will be many subfolders. One of them will be named Masters. There you will find all your images. But LR cannot access it from this file/folder of the package. You will need to copy or move the Masters folder to another location on your hard drive for LR to see.

  • What is happening in the original file of the photo when I import it in Photos and I have the "Delete after import" box checked?

    What is happening in the original file of the photo when I import it in Photos and I have the "Delete after import" box checked?

    When organizing photos for Photos for Mac app, I find that the Photos makes "copies" of files within the library of Photos and must reference a file if your settings are such that you do not copy the original files in the Photos app.

    Trying to manage the disk space for the Macbook Pro.

    The delete after import is available only when you import a device - a camera, card, an iPhone, but not when you import files from a folder on the system drive.

    You can delete the local image files of your system drive yourself, once you have imported the Photos and they were copied in the photo library.

    I would never use the option "delete after Import. The files will be deleted until you can check if the files have been imported correctly. If you find out later, that some of the imported files are corupted and illegible, it will be repeated o toolate import, because the files have been deleted from the device. Or worse, if pictures should plant a reason any during the import, all the pictures will be lost, if you have enabled "delete after import.

  • 1.5 vs 9.6.1 iPhoto photos: features and capabilities

    1.5 vs 9.6.1 iPhoto photos: features and capabilities

    There is an excellent summary of the differences provided by Old_Toad for advice.

    There was no justification provided by Apple for all the functions that they took?  If there is, can you point me to what I would consider.  There are a number of these functions that I use on a regular basis.

    There was no justification provided by Apple.  Since the introduction of Photos Apple has added several features and will probably add more in the future if there is enough feedback.

    Then tell Apple what missing features you want restored or new features added in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html.

    There are a number of workarounds available in the Photos for Mac user tips section for various features that were left out.

  • The file size of Photos library don't to shrink when I remove the images from the library

    Subject line pretty much sums up it.  Let's say I have create a library of Photos and import of 100 photos. The file "Library.photoslibrary Photos" grows to a certain size, as expected. But if I remove some of these pictures does not take the size of the file photoslibrary. If I import images more library file grows again, but it never reduces when I delete the images from the library. This happens with both a library of referenced files and images copied to the library.

    What happens here?

    You must either wait 30 days or go to the recently deleted album and remove not for the final to do deletion

    and note that Photos doesn't manage referenced good libraries, it was reported here that they can use more space than a managed library and they are not recommended

  • Why files of my photos decrease (10 MB + 1.5 MB or less) that I have Edit and export?

    Why files of my photos decrease (10 MB + 1.5 MB or less) that I have Edit and export?

    Yes!  I used your suggestions of 3000 x 5400 pixels in the settings and my Pelican cropped in J {for example is now more than 5 MB.  Phew!  I guess I really need to BONE up on top of megapixels and compared my new camera.

    I have a 5 d Mark iii with two good glasses (zoom of Canon EF100-400 mm 1: 4) 5 - 5. 6 L IS II USM and Canon zoom EF 24-70 1: 2.8 L II USM).  Problem is that right after getting the camera, I had my first surgery of cataract and have not been able to read that much without a large magnifying glass.  My 2nd cataract surgery is in two days.  I want 'the blind Lady with the right camera' and have been relying on Auto Focus in just a few parameters. Hoping that my vision is coming SOON.

    Thank you all very much!  If anyone knows where I can study and more re: pixel during export, I would be very grateful.

    Once again, so happy.  Thank you!

  • Library double (iPhoto + Photos)

    Hi all

    I've been struggling with little space HARD drive for a while now, so a few months ago I decided to finally begin to organize and sort my photos correctly, eliminating the double, bad pictures, etc.

    I released a certain GB (7 or 8) yesterday, so I was very shocked when I received the message "you do not have enough space" this morning. I went to check if the library had reduced in size and I noticed that I have not one, but two libraries: iPhoto Library and photo library. The former has not changed in size (always around 100 GB), but the latter has (it is now 93BG). I suspect the two libraries are the same, except that I was changing the photo library only since I installed El Capitan in March.

    Can I safely delete the iPhoto library or I'll lose the 'event' files I used from there? I can still see the pictures in a separate folder, so I'm not sure that they have been transferred to the new library correctly...

    What do you suggest me?

    Thank you

    Hey Martyroxx,

    I understand that you see two different libraries and fear that it may take more space than necessary. In fact, I came across something similar when I tried to clean my internal drive.

    An excellent article explaining how to operate the two libraries is Photos saves disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture Libraries.
    He explains how the two libraries will only use no extra space.

    See you soon!

  • copy of iPhoto photo book?

    I have a full book in iPhoto 7.1.5 (on my iMac OS X 10.6.8).) Unable to print as not taken in charge more. I have the new MacBook Pro Retina El Capitan 10.11.6.

    Can I transfer book?

    A way to get the printed book without restarting a new?

    Thank you

    Boru8

    If you could the way to do is to copy the library containing the book on the new computer and open it with Photos. However, as the book is to make the system changed it is no way do not move the book you want to do. Out of a pdf file of the old iPhoto and a 3rd party printing service is the way to get your printed book.

  • Moving iPhoto/photo library

    Hello

    I'm moving my iPhoto and photo library to an external hard drive to save space on my MacBook Pro SSD. Once I located in my home folder, then the folder images, both iPhoto and photo libraries are there, and they say they have a capacity of approximately 200 GB each, so about 400 GB in total. When I moved the iPhoto on the external drive library (holding slipped and fell on the command key, so do NOT copy), he moved the so-called 200 GB in just about 15 minutes and when I checked my storage "about this mac" I won only about 6 GB. I have to move all the other files or through any other process to actually moved the library? I tried restart and have begun in iPhoto with the menu to choose the library and it still works fine and it is said that the entire library is on the external hard drive, but the ability is not sensible for me. Thanks for your time.

    -Gmanrockstar31

    they say they have a capacity of approximately 200 GB each, both on 400 GB total

    This is not correct.  The two libraries share the same data on the HDD through hard links initially so that they only take twice the amount of space on the hard disk. They can be copied/saved independently.

    New photos added to each library are independent of the other library.

    Here is more information about hard links:

    Photos saves disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture - Apple Support libraries

    The (hard) link between Photos and iPhoto

    In the future, do not use the move feature.  If there is a problem then its moving target file may be damaged and the source file will be removed leaving you without useable file.
