• Photos will not open the iPhoto library.

  Hello world.

  I try to open an existing iPhoto library that I register before I migrated to this new Mac Pro desktop, but the new Photos app it will not open. It gives me an error message and then I see a blank screen of Photos.

  How can I convert this iPhotos Photos library and why is - it doesn't happen automatically?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  It gives me an error message and then I see a blank screen of Photos.

  What is the error message?  And where is your old iPhoto Library stored?

  If you try to open the library on an external drive, make sure that the drive is compatible.  The player must be in Mac OS extended (journaled) format and should not be used by Time Machine.

• Cannot open the pictures library after the data transfer to my new macbook

  I transferred all my data from my old MacBook Air to my new MacBook Pro via a restore from time machine.

  My first time to open my library on my News Photos Photos of MacBook says that he must perform the restore procedure (see screenshot in German language).

  

  After the confirmation of this message Photos responds with a message telling me that it can't open the library (see screenshot in German language). The message to distinguish basically says Photos tried to fix the library, but it was impossible to open it.

  

  Any ideas that I could do to fix this problem?

  Thanks, Gregor

  Try saving the photo library and hold down the command and option keys while pictures of launch and repair the library it - that sometimes seems to be more successful

• 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.

• Photos will not open the iPhoto on an external drive, already "migrated" library

  I moved my iPhoto to an external drive library, updated, then "migrated" photo library with the drive connected. Once I opened the Photos without the drive connected, and there is a library 'Photos' of 9 seemingly random photos. Now, the pictures will not open the old library with the drive connected. Is there a way to change the pictures in the library accesses?

  Here's the disclaimer that I get: the contents of the iPhoto 'iPhoto Library' library has already migrated to the Photos.  Open the Photos to display your library or use a compatible version of iPhoto to open the iPhoto library.

  (But it does not open the library on the external hard drive).

• Cannot open iPhoto Library as it says library version is too old - have tried to download the iPhoto library valuation tool - still does not open.

  Hi, I saved my photos on my passport, since I upgraded my phone and now I can't open the photos as it says that the version of the library is too old. I've uploaded my photos from my old laptop to my new office using my passport and still can't open. I tried to download the iPhoto library valuation tool but still does not open. Can someone please?

  Thank you

  I tried to download the iPhoto library valuation tool but still does not open.

  But install you and run the iPhoto Library upgrade?  Just the download is not enough.  You need to open the library in upgrader iPhoto library and let it prepare the library.  After installation, you will find the iPhoto Library upgrade in the "Utilities" folder in the "Applications" folder

• Opening, lack of masters after importing the iPhoto library

  I have a large (about 14 000 pictures) iPhoto library, which seems to work correctly when opened directly into iPhoto 9.6.1 or directly in Aperture 3.6. When open in one of those, all the "originals" or the "masters" can be located, and there is no problem.

  I want to merge this library in a large Aperture library. I tried to do this using file-> import-> library, who ran with no error message. After the work of import, most photos imported into iPhoto show an error icon, indicating that they are absent from their master. There are about 9 500 photos with masters missing, according to opening. I can use the tool to "Locate the referenced files", and then I see all these pictures with masters missing have "null" as the name of the volume in their way, and their path begins with the year of the import job. Path of the example:

  2012/01/03/20120103-185643/DSC02345. JPG

  To reconnect the master, I can navigate to the iPhoto library container and click the 'Masters' folder in the library container. As soon as I click on the folder of "Masters", the tool referenced files locates the record (since the rest of the path matches). See the screenshot:

  This method will not work for me, however, because the button "Log everything" does nothing. It will reconnect only one photo at a time, then the development of the upper part of the tool files referenced changes, and I need to re - click on the missing file missing, re - click the 'Masters' folder and click on reconnect again. I can't make that 9 500 times.

  Then why Aperture loses these masters when it is important to iPhoto? Is it possible to reconnect all of this?

  Then why Aperture loses these masters when it is important to iPhoto? Is it possible to reconnect all of this?

  The problem seems to be the Masters folder offline state.

  have you tried to repair or rebuild the iPhoto library before trying to merge into the Aperture library (Aperture 3 User Manual: repair and rebuild your Aperture library)?

  is the library with the iPhoto in question on an external disk library?  If so, how the hard drive is formatted?

• Delete a photo library, now can bring into the iPhoto library

  I have Photos of El Capitan put in place to manage multiple libraries on the same MacBook Pro internal hard drive.  I was trying to create a new additional library, but seem to have screwed things up.

  I created the new photo library, called "BB_Photos", then introduced in photos from iPhoto to Snow Leopard.  I note that the same name iPhoto library is on a second internal hard drive.  The new library seems to have created OK in El Capitan.  However, I was unhappy and trashed the library of Photos of El Capitan, in the hope of re - create.  Now I can't pictures released Photos a second time.

  In Snow Leopard, the library presented as 'BB_Photos.migratedphotolibrary' and I can line up the pictures of El Capitan.  (Even once, note that these are on two separate disks, because I am dual boot.)  Photos I am trying to re-import or something, but I trashed this library.  Are photos ransacked still hiding somewhere in the Photos?

  

  The iPhoto library is visible from El Capitan pictures inside, but it is grayed out and not available.  However, I can still open and view inside Snow Leopard iPhoto library.

  

  How can I cancel my original error and get "BB_Photos" in El Capitan pictures?  I can't the library of Snow Leopard to be "not migrated" so Photos can see it again?

  Photos does not open "BB_Photos", because the file name extension ".migratedphotolibrary" shows that the library has already migrated to the Photos.

  Simply restore the file name extension ".photolibrary". You can do this in the Info Panel.

  Select "BB_Photos... migratedphotolibrary" in the Finder, then enter the ⌘I key combination to open the information panel. Change the file name extension in the "Name & Extension" section of the Info Panel.

  You may need to click on, then uncheck "hide the Extension."

• Delete the iPhoto library?

  I just noticed that I have a migrated iPhoto Library with 76 GB last opening in April 2015.

  The photo library occupies about 90 GB and update.

  Can I delete the old library to free up space which could be just a left over after the upgrade for the Photos?

  Yes, the media files are hardlinked, so it won't make anywhere near as much space as it appears, it will be. In addition, you will not be able to reopen the iPhoto library.

  I found that if it becomes necessary to use time machine to return to an earlier existence to reinstall the iphoto library, if for some reason, you lose lose, then when you try to synchronize your ipad is not recognized by the computer.  So when you try to synchronize the pictures, they are all removed from the ipad and trying to reinstall everything again.

  This may or may not work immediately.  In my case, only half the photos have been installed, and then the error message came that the rest of 9000 can be installed.

  I contacted Apple support team who has made various suggestions.  Subsequently clicking on a photo list in iTunes were all going again and pictures of 9000 then installed.  When I asked the support team what could happen I was told that it was a "glitch".  I don't like seeds they mean that there could be an error in coding somewhere.

  Here me again.  I use an iMac and iPad.  I don't know why XP and iPhone came.

• I copied the folder iPhoto to my 'images' on an external drive and all photos disappeared both external drive and the iPhoto library. Do you know where they are?

  Hello! I have a big problem!

  I copied the folder "Images" that is default in my Mac on an external drive.

  Inside the 'Images' folder, there is the iPhoto folder.

  When I reopened iPhoto, all photos disappeared from the iPhoto library and the external drive. I left alone with very little, very old photos.

  Do you know where my pictures maybe? Photos in iPhoto has also lost all the flags...

  Thank you in advance for the answer...

  What software (name and version) are you using? What format is the EHD? How is it connected? What exactly did you do step by step

  Bottom line is that correctly copy a package does not remove anything so you did something wrong and we need to know exactly what you have and what you have done to help

• With Photos being out why keep the iPhoto library

  With Photos being out why keep the iPhoto library.

  Because you can use it.

  Because you might not be sure that you want to use pictures.

  A safety net.
