deleting photos does not reduce library

Hello, I just bought iMac (10.11) and images imported from outside hard drive in Photos (1.1) app.

I knew I had a lot of duplicate photos or not desired I wanted to delete after procrastinating organize my photos.

I started by removing about 20MG of files and wanted to see the size of my library reduced in order to ensure that I am deleting the original file and not only a thumbnail and frees 20 mg.

However, the photo library file is not reduced after the removal of my 1st batch of test photos.  In the Photos, I navigate to preferences in the drop down Photos and then select 'Show in finder' next to the library.  The size of the library has not changed in the finder and it shows the last updated ago 7 hours when I imported last photo from my iPhone.

Is there a better way to ensure that remove photos and make sure the space is being released on my hard drive?

I have read several discussions on this subject and also uses not either iCloud for storing photos or a photo stream so I can isolate reducing photos on my hard drive.

Please let me know if anyone has any suggestions that I don't want to spend hours to clean my Photos without the expected results and thanks in advance.

We need the details - exactly what you have and what you were doing?

Assuming that you have the current software (OS X 10.11.2) and Photos 1.3 you access recently deleted album and remove it now? If you do not they will not be removed for 30 days

and if you migrated an iPhoto library, you must remove the same photos in it to get space in the back.

  • in iMovie... Library of photos does not appear under libraries

    Library of photos does not appear under libraries in iMovie. Is there earlier this morning, then came back, no past once again. Apparently I can't connect to

    It is a problem that has been reported previously in iMovie 10.1.1. Photo library will be displayed intermittently when iMovie is launched. The only solution I know is to open the photos app before the launch of iMovie. That has always worked for me. It seems that if Photos is opened and closed even before iMovie will appear. Once it appears, it will remain as long as iMovie is open. I hope it works for you.

  • Photos does not work in El Capitan

    I recently replaced with El Capitan Yosemite on my Mac Mini last 2014. Everything worked well after the original download, including Photos. Then I closed the computer and went to bed. When I started again this morning, the system does not start, and I had to use recovery mode to reinstall El Capitan. 13 hours later (for some reason that the software took so long to download) the system works again - but not photos. Unlike other Photos post-EC problems, I get no message, just a bar with almost all the options greyed out. One of the few non-grisé options is under the tab 'windows', where, by selecting 'Photos', I get a white box. And that's all. I tried to start clicking on both of my two libraries - nothing. I tried from Photos with the option key - touch nothing. I tried from Photos with maintained command - nothing. All my photos, apart from those of Photostream, stored locally; I have all my pictures on iCloud, and nor do I want to. I'm sure that they are all there, because the library of the main image shows 36 concerts and everything is backed up, but I don't know how to access. Any help much appreciated.

    All my photos, apart from those of Photostream, stored locally;

    Where your photo library is stored? It's in your pictures folder, or on an external drive?

    I tried from Photos with the option key - touch nothing. I tried from Photos with maintained command - nothing.

    try to find out if the problem is system-wide or only happens in your user account.

    Can you launch Photos, if you connect from a different user account, for example the guest user? (see this help page: isolate a problem by using another user account)

    • If Photos does not even from another user account, your relocation was unlikely.  Try to reinstall again with a stable network connection.
    • If pictures work well from another user account, delete the preference files in your Home folder.

    Remove these items from your user library in your folder:

    • Delete complete files - if they are there-

      ~/Library/containers/com. Apple.photolibraryd /.
      ~ / Library/Containers/com.apple.Photos/.

    Log and turn it back on. The files will be recreated when you try to launch again the Photos. But don't try without a current backup of your system!

    Your user library can still be hidden. To reveal the hidden user library:

    • Bring the Finder to the front by clicking on the desktop or the Finder icon in the Dock.
    • Select your folder user/home (with the House icon in the side bar of the Finder)
    • With this window in the Finder in the front window, press the ⌘J key combination to bring up the display options.
    • In the view options panel allow you to "show the library folder. That will make your visible user library folder in your folder.
    • Open your folder, then the library folder, then the containers.
    • Move the entire folder ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Photos/ on your desktop. Move the entire folder, not just the content.
    • Delete ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Photos.plist Similarly, if it exists.

    Restart the mac, after you have deleted the items, then try opening your photo library and see if pictures will now launch properly.

    Think about it logically, is that correct?

    You say: DELETE something that does not exist. The NOT MATCHED block will be executed only when the data being sought are not found.

    AS FAR AS I KNOW:

    For NON MATCHED block, INSERT only is allowed.

    For block MATCHED, UPDATE, and DELETE are allowed.

  • Delete statement does not work properly

    Hello

    The following delete statement does not work correctly.
    If I press DELETE will delete everything in the table of categories
    I don't know whats wrong with it.
    -Delete category line if there is not the infrastructure to support-
    IF: P12_DFCY_SEQNO4 IS NOT NULL AND: P12_DFCY_CATG_C = "7" THEN
    REMOVE FROM DFCY_CATG
    IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT I.DFCY_SEQNO
    OF DFCY_CATG C, DFCY_CATG_INFRSTRCTR I
    WHERE C.DFCY_SEQNO = I.DFCY_SEQNO
    AND: P12_DFCY_SEQNO4 = I.DFCY_SEQNO);
    end if;

    Thank you
    Mary

    You probably the where more clause:

    DELETE FROM DFCY_CATG
    WHERE C.DFCY_SEQNO = :P12_DFCY_SEQNO4
    AND NOT EXISTS(SELECT I.DFCY_SEQNO
    FROM DFCY_CATG C, DFCY_CATG_INFRSTRCTR I
    WHERE C.DFCY_SEQNO = I.DFCY_SEQNO
    AND :P12_DFCY_SEQNO4 = I.DFCY_SEQNO);
    

    Not sure if this is the exact name of your column in the table, but that limit the scope of deleting just a record that you control.

    Hope it will be useful,

  • If I delete photos from my iphone library can I keep them on my macbook?

    The photos on the macbook app is connected to my phone via icloud, which seems to be the only way to transfer photos to my computer. The problem is that my phone is running out of memory and I need to remove photos from my phone. If I delete the pictures from my phone they also permanenty will remove my library of photos on my macbook?

    There are many iCLoud services so the answer depends on the services you use

    If you use iCloud photo library, so you have a single library for any and every change made anywhere is made everywhere

    If you are using MyPhotoStream, then remove a device of form does not affect other devices

    If you are using iCLoud, photo sharing, then you are the owner can delete the photos and they are deleted in the world

  • Some photos does not appear in Photos.app

    Hi all!

    Once again: I already posted this question, but it disappeared. A little bit Wired, because my question is about the pictures that still exist in the folder 'Masters', but not in Photos.app

    I restarted Photos.app twice with ALT + CMD to rebuild the database of photo with nothing doesn't. Is their something I can do? The lack of photos are not deleted or in a hidden folder...

    Thanks for your help

    Marek

    Your original question is still there, Marek: library of repair works is not on the Photo

    See my response to this discussion (link to this post):

    I see a lot of my original photos in... Images/Photos Library.photoslibrary/Masters/2016/... who are not in pictures.

    What is photo library that uses pictures when you launch?  Check the name of the photo library opened on the pictures > Preferences > General:

    The path to the currently-open library will be displayed at the top of the window.

    If Photos used to try different library to open your library in the folder images by double clicking it.  Fix library will repair the library that was used last.  You may have repaired another library.

    .. are not in pictures.

    Have you checked the "Recently deleted" and the album "hidden pictures"?

    Search for the file name of one of the missing photos in the Photos.  If the Photos are in the masters record for 2016 they were imported in 2016, but the capture date may come another year, and they can be in a moment for another year and show among the photos of 1970 or more.

  • photos does not work

    I have a 16 000 images large iPhoto library stored on my hard drive. When trying to convert to photos he stalls on 50% no matter how many times or days, I waited. I tried to repair the library, and when I do, I get to 8% with an error message that the library is not recognized. I can't open iPhoto more because I've updated to El Capitan, and he no longer recognizes iPhoto. So in short, I can't access my photos all and any effort to repair did not work. I also did a repair disk in recovery mode and it made no difference. Help, please

    It's on an external drive? If so is what format?

    If you change the suffix of file on the library of .photoslibrary of migratedphotslibrary you will be able to open with iPhoto.

    Option 1

    Save and try to rebuild the library: press command and option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. The dialog that allows you to rebuild. Choose to repair the database. If this does not help, then try again, this time to help to rebuild the database.

    If this does not work:

    Option 2

    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its function of reconstruction. (In early versions of the Library Manager, this is the file-> command Rebuild.) In versions later it is under the menu library.)

    This will create a completely new library. It will then copy (or try) your photos and all associated metadata and versions to this library and as close as possible to what you had in the damaged library fix it. It does this based on the information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but it means that things not shared won't be there, so no slide shows, books or calendars, for example - but it should recover all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places.

    Because this process creates a completely new library and does not change your old, it is non-destructive, and if you are not satisfied with the result, you can simply go back to your old.

  • Photos does not detect iPhone

    I've recently updated my 2010 MacBook Pro at El Capitan (10.11) and several problems with the forced migration in iPhoto for pictures.

    Previously, I've kept my iPhoto on a HDD library external Western Digital. Yesterday, I threw some Photos while holding down the Option key and imported all my photos in the iPhoto library on disk external HARD in Photos.

    Now I would like to import photos from my iPhone 5s in Photos. When I plug my phone into my laptop with a USB cable, however, nothing happens. Photos do not show my phone, still less the opportunity to import pictures of her. I tried a soft reboot of my iPhone, but that has not changed anything. I don't think I have iCloud sharing to set up Photos, nor what I want.

    Thanks much for any help.

    Exactly what you were doing - launch while the option key is pressed does not matter or move whatever it is - it just gives you a window to select another library or start a new library is empty

  • Canon 7 d "*" button does not reduce the magnification during playback

    My Canon 7 d "*" button will not "reduce the image / display thumbnails" while reviewing images (described on page 165 in the official Canon 7 d docs.)

    What the "*" button made during the review of the images is complete the review process and return the camera to normal operations.

    The "*" otherwise performs duties as announced during the filming of the photos and the camera works fine.

    1. Does anyone else have this problem?
    2. Is my camera broken?
    3. If Yes, can it be repaired?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    PJoseph,

    Not going on the notes and advice, there are no known problems with the EOS 7 d that you describe.  It is unusual, and if you are still having trouble with this, I recommend that you have the camera assessed by our authorized Service Center.

    To start this process, you will need to fill out a service request on our Web site.

  • Photos does not not in Oulook

    Hello and thanks in advance.

    I recently upgraded ATT (reminds me of AOL technical support lately :)) LIS in U Verse. Before the upgrade, I could go to my photos, select images, then click on send this file. Outlook opens and I could send pictures. Now when I try to do, an ATT Web site page is trying to open and I can't send pictures. I have to open Outlook and tie. ATT said it is impossible that their settings for new modems etc nothing changed. They do not support Outlook and they refuse to help me. I have nothing to change my settings except click their guests to set up email. Suddenly, I got a new default in my email and when I tried to send Outlook however, I got a pop up saying that Outlook was not my default mail. It was until I loaded the new ATT software. It was easy enough to fix. I deleted the new information in Outlook, but that does not solve the issue. On my laptop, I was not asked to change the settings, and Outlook works fine with the number of the photo. Can you please tell me what I need to change?

    Thank you very much!

    JO

  • Photos does not appear in the parent folders or all photographs

    After upgrade to LR3 LR4 when I go to the library and click on "All photographs" none of my 86000 photos appear.

    The same thing happens in the module files... for example:

    1. my photos in folders titled 20120306

    20120201

    2. these files are siored in a "single parent" folder called 2012

    3. all records of the year of 'parent' are in a folder called HAND

    When I click on main it does not display the photos but it tells me how many photos are in the folder

    When I click on 2012, it does not display the photos but it tells me how many photos in the folder

    When I click on 20120306 then it allows pictures.

    I don't know why clicking on 2012 he not show me ALL photos taken in 2012, it's what did LR3...

    Please help as I am very intrigued by this!
