Comments on missing photos after photo import from iphoto library

I use iphoto extensively for my company and I recently updated my OS to El Capitan and discovered that it didn't work anymore.  There was a note which directed me to download the latest version of the app store and when I did it it says there is no download available.

So I tried to go to the pictures.  I started the pictures and it prompted me to import my iphoto library, which is about 70 gigabytes.  Import ran for a long time and all images now appear in the Photos, but there is a problem.

Before the upgrade, when I downloaded photos in iPhoto, they went to a group and have been dated from and prepared accordingly. But I would add notes and/or descriptions so that when I entered a search for specific photos, they came to the top and I didn't need dates. Apparently, when photos have been imported into the new program, they are listed by date and descriptions are gone. Do you know if they're hiding, or if we can find them? Otherwise I have no idea where the first photos are and I have to visually through the 22 000 photos.

If not, is there a way to return to iphoto for El Capitan?

There was a note which directed me to download the latest version of the app store and when I did it it says there is no download available.

Apple sells iPhoto, is more then the tab update of the AppStore works is no longer.  You can update only by reinstalling, see user tip Barney:   cannot be updated iPhoto because it is not available in the App Store)

Apparently, when photos have been imported into the new program, they are listed by date and descriptions are gone.

Are the descriptions of the events?  If you open the sidebar with the albums, (enter the ⌥⌘S - command-option-S key combination), you will see a folder iPhoto events.  It will be an album for each of your events.

If you enter titles and captions for each photo, you will see them in the Panel information for each photo. Titles can also be displayed under thumbnails, if you enable it in the view menu > metadata.

    I use a PC and I used LR3. I'm a newcomer to LR, so patient with me! My problem is related to the import function.

    I have a photo library on an external hard drive. I've slowly been import previews of the photos selected from the library in my catalog, adding them during the import process - well. But now, I hit a problem. Another folder in my library contains several subfolders, each containing a number of photos (a mixture of RAW steals (naves) and jpg). I was importing found in my catalog each Subfile in turn, using the Add function, usually of the jpgs only from each Subfile. It works fine, until I reached a particular Subfile. For some reason when I try to import from it and select the secondary file as a Source, only the RAW (NEF) images appear in the preview pane (sorry, forgot the correct term for it!). I know that jpg files are in this auxiliary file on the external hard drive, because when I view its content in Windows, they are all there. But try as I can (choose the file under source, select the folder parent as a source, try to copy or move them, instead of adding them), nothing seems to work. Since they do not appear in the preview pane, I can't import them. It does appear that this a Subfile where the problem exists, but I don't see anything that is different from the others (names of files under all use the same structure - yyyy-mm-dd_custom name, and pictures in all subfolders are adopting the same denomination structure too - yyyy-mm-dd_sequential number_custom name.) NAVE/JPG. So what I am doing wrong? Any ideas please.

    It is possible that the images in this particular subfolder were taken in your camera in RAW + JPEG.  If so, you will need to go to preferences under the general tab and make sure the box "processing JPEG files files next to raw as separate photos" is checked.

    However, assuming that this is the case, there is really no reason to import the JPEG file if you already have the RAW file.

  • understand the flow of photos from iPhoto library photos vs vs

    I just transfer a bunch of photos from an external hard drive in my iPhoto library.  I created several new Albums right here.  The problem is that my photos are not displayed when I click on the Photos icon on my menu bar.  Also new albums and photos will appear not on my iPad via the photo stream.  I don't understand how the 3things: I picture library, photos, photo stream, work-sharing app.  How to do all of my albums (and the photos in these albums) duplicate in all (or appear to) all my devices?

    Migrating from iPhoto to a Photos library library affects only the photos in the iPhoto library in time. Photos and albums added to the iPhoto library after that will be in the iPhoto library unless you also import the photos into your photo library and set and fill albums.

    Albums are not spread through my photo stream, only by iCloud photo library.

    The new model is of approximately:

    * Use only the Photos app and the library of Photos on your Mac (s). After the initial migration, ignore iPhoto and its library.

    * Use iCloud photo library as the repository ignoring my photo stream unless you have devices that don't support icloud photo library (for most older iPods). You may need to increase your storage plan iCloud to organize all your photos and videos.

    * Use the Photos app on your iPhone (s) and iPad (s) with iCloud as library active. Again, my photo stream is necessary only if you have devices that don't support icloud photo library. You can use the option "optimize storage' to save the storage space on your iPhone (s) and iPad (s).

  • 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?

  • Lightroom: Time to Capture for videos imported from iphoto does not appear in the metadata

    Hi, I imported all my photos and videos from iphoto to Lightroom recently with iphoto import plugin.  I think that all my photos have been imported, but I noticed that all my videos have no capture time, while they became grouped in my collections.  But I think that I can still see their capture time in the 'gray' text on each photo.  Why did this happen and how to solve this problem?  I really want my time to capture in video metadata, and I also want to see my videos in chronological order on the right with my videos.   Strangely, the videos imported into Lightroom directly from my camera SD card do not have this problem, don't do that those imported from iphoto.  Thank you!

    LR does not correctly manage video metadata in general, and in particular, he often misses capture time.  Sometimes it works: choose a video, make metadata > edit Capture time and then click all change (without actually modifying the corrected time).  If that sets the time of capture at the right time, you can select all the videos of problem, metadata > edit Capture time, and then click all change.   If you have a small number of videos, you can manually fix the capture time to help change the Capture time.

    See for more information in the official forum for feedback from Adobe for more details, vote on it and give your opinion: Lightroom: metadata applied to videos in Lightroom is not available in other applications

  • Can AE copy a good imported from the library of cloud in the folder that the file of the project resides in?

    Currently, it seems any assets that you import from the library is saved in your user and not side by side with the project file. First will create a folder "CC libraries downloads" which makes much more sense...

    Or am I wrong?

    Thank you

    Ryan

    In a future update, we intend to make the location to which the library assets are recorded an option defined by the user.

  • Can I delete photos on my iPhone after them have been imported into iPhoto library?

    Hello!

    It is at this time of the year when you wanted to take pictures of summer vacation right on your iphone, but you found out that you have less than 500 MB of memory space. Well, it's happened to me.

    I imported my iPhone on my Macbook iPhoto pictures, and I would like to delete these photos on my iPhone. I would like to know if I could do it in iPhoto or iTunes.

    In addition, it would be possible for me to re - upload photos from iPhoto to my iPhone?

    Kind regards

    TL

    Assuming you are using iPhoto and not the new Photos.app, Yes.

    You can bulk delete via Capture of Image (in the Applications folder)

    Create a picture Album that you want on the phone and you can share them on the phone via iTunes.

    Similar goods are available with Photos.app and photo library to iCloud, but work in different ways.

  • Import from iPhoto - Meta-data missing?

    I am importing photos from iPhoto in pictures, but it seems that most of the metadata is not transferred.

    The process is to select the file-> import in pictures, select the pictures at the bottom of the left sidebar in the dialog box, choose iPhoto-> events and select an event for import.

    Transfer photos, and that they retain their location data. But the descriptions, tags, and faces are lost.

    Photos had imported the entire iPhoto library originally, but there were a few problems with former segments of the library. (I have not been able to correct some problems, so I am looking to re - import an event at a time, for a couple to organize the reasons and then delete the duplicates) In this import, all the metadata has been chosen. So, it seems possible to import it. But it does not work in this case.

    The media browser does not give you the metadata - select photos in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder by checking the boxes of metadata you want in the export dialog - export from iPhoto - and then import these images into pictures

    And you never import an iPhoto photo library - you migrate and migration keeps metadata - you only import pictures of libraries

  • How to migrate pictures from iPhoto Library on external drive to the Photos?

    I deleted my computer today and try to import photos from a backup Time Machine, in Photos. I find the iPhoto library and clicked on "View the contents of the package" to reveal a bunch of files. I'm currently moving the entire iPhoto library on my desk, but it's more than 100 GB in size, so I was wondering if there is a more direct method? (All photos are stored in the folder 'Masters'? Could import from there?)

    Please if someone could help me with this I would be very happy! Sorry for the ambiguity in my formulation of the question and happy New Year! Thank you in advance.

    To migrate the iPhoto Library from a backup Time Machine pictures use Time Machine to restore the iPhoto library to a folder on your Mac. Then drag the library restored on the Photos icon in the Dock to open the iPhoto library. Photos will create a library of Photos transferred from the iPhoto library with all your changes, titles, captions, keywords, assigned albums. If you try to import the folder of masters you will only import the photos, but lose the structure of the library and all your work that you did in iPhoto.
