Deleting photos in the Photos app, still remaining in the old iPhoto library

Similar Questions

• Photos.app didn't rename my converted iPhoto library. Is this ok?

  Hi, I upgraded to El Capitan and Photos.app ran for the first time.  He converted all 660 GB of our iPhoto/Aperture on its new format library and created the "Library.photoslibrary Photos" bundle in the images folder.

  However, I noticed she did not rename the iPhoto library.  Of after what I've read, it should he have named 'iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary', but there are always like "iPhoto Library.photolibrary '.  Is this something to worry about?  All the photos * appear * to be in the photo library, so there is nothing obvious to indicate that the conversion has failed somehow.

  Any suggestions?  Thank you!

  Ah, I solved my problem.

  If, after the conversion of Photos, you then launch iPhoto or Aperture, renamed it the '.migratedphotolibrary' to '.photolibrary '.

• Is anyone else out there they want changes made to the new "photos"? I have again the new app - I want to go back to the old iPhoto!

  I want to split moments as I could in the old iPhoto! As old edition was better than the new. What you change things when the former worked well? Change is NOT always for the better!

  I would also like to be able to see the photo info without having to click on a photo - once more as we used to be able to do in iPhoto!

• I've migrated my iPhoto pictures libraries. I can now delete old iPhoto library?

  I've migrated my iPhoto pictures libraries. I can now delete old iPhoto library?

  I don't want my pictures taking up twice the amount of space as before!

  Yes, but the multimedia files are hardlinked and do not take place twice.

• Try to remove deleted files from the Media Player library

  There are video files in my Windows Media Player library that I deleted, but items still appear in my video library.  When I right click on the file and choose 'Remove', nothing happens.  The video files were originally in the folder my music and I deleted them using the Explorer.  However, they still appear in the Media Player library (even if they are not functional - because I have deleted!).  I followed what Umesh suggested GregRN, but that doesn't seem to work for me.  How can I get rid of deleted files appear in the Media Player library?   I use a HP Pavilion dv4 using Windows 7 (64-bit).

• Do not click on old iPhoto library in Bridge CS5. It converts images of the .pkg file

  Hi fellow users. I'm using Snow Leopard 10.6.4 Adbobe CS5 Bridge and iPhoto 8.1.2.

  I have multiple iPhoto libraries stored in the folder my pictures. If I click on an iPhoto library somewhat current bridge, iPhoto lance and (according to the version of iPhoto package), displays the photo library in iPhoto.

  WARNING WARNING WARNING: Do not THROW OLD iPHOTO LIBRARIES FROM BRIDGE CS5

  If I click on an OLD deck of iPhoto from the bridge, he launched iPhoto but iPhoto doesn't display the library.

  What happens next is bad. Somehow the entire 'Images' folder is now considered by the dysfunctional finder as an iPhoto library or a "package". I had two happen.

  ---------

  The fix. From a finder window, you can right click on the photos icon and 'display the contents of the package. Drag the contents to a new folder. Remove the package of photos. If you wish, rename the new folder "Images". You may help iPhoto find your library again the next time that you open it. You will not be able to pass the package of photos to the Recycle Bin without loggin as user root (Apple can guide you through this).

  Good luck and be warned.

  -Go Steelers

  What happens next is bad. Somehow the entire 'Images' folder is now regarded by

  the dysfunctional finder as an iPhoto library or a "package". I had

  both occur.

  As I don't have a single iPhoto Library I can see the icon and when clicked

  It opens iPhoto forward.

  I don't have much experience with iPhoto and don't like the way you work

  with a library in a package hidden instead of a folder structure opened as

  Bridge of fact.

  Do not understand what you mean with the old library. If you rename the previous

  versions of the iPhoto library or do create you several libraries for different

  projects?

  Anyway, as Lao Tai already said, iPhoto library is a package and therefore

  not supposed to see photos in Bridge.

  Assuming that you have a back up of libraries you can replace without

  a lot of damage but you can first check if you can open the file

  See the contents of the package.

  In the Finder, select the file that you describe and right of the mouse and then click

  choose show package contents from the context menu.

  Do this also with your current library and place them side by side

  Compare the differences.

  The safest way to get your originals is in the same way, choose view

  content and find the "originals" folder

  Copy (if you are still able to use iPhoto, if for some reason any one)

  do) this content to the new folders in the finder (of course outside of the)

  the contents of the iPhoto library) and after doing so point bridge to

  These folders to use images in Bridge and Psalm

• How to import the old iMovie library

  Searched the Internet but nothing helped.

  I finally decided to use the new iMovie app (version 10? 2013 version? is the one with the purple icon). I have been using the old version of iMovie all this time. How to import my old library iMovie and projects in the news? What I found on the internet that says that when I start to iMovie for the first time, it is supposed to prompt me to do it, but it's not.

  Hold down the Alt/option key at startup to iMovie, so that it points to the library. After iMovie will remember.

• What is the relationship between the library of Photos and the iPhoto library?

  I'm asking this question here because I can't find all the relevant information online.

  I was dealing with imac a client recently who had a full boot drive. I noticed that his old iPhoto library used 126GB while she had already made the transition to the Photos. His photo library said that he was using a lot more (200 + if I remember correctly). I copied the iPhoto on an external drive library and deleted. Then, I opened the contents of the package and imported pictures remains in program pictures to make sure that I wasn't actually remove all of his memories. Once the work is finished, I was surprised to see that there are more than 6 GB of free space on his computer. What gives? Is there a relationship between the old iPhoto library and new photo library? If so, what is it? Is what I did without danger? I understand at the time that she will not be able to return to iPhoto. But what I'm missing?

  Thanks in advance for your comments.

  No - they are totally separate - connection or relationship of any kind is not

  or the other can be deleted without any effect on the other - but it won't save much space at all and is not recommended - which is exactly what you have seen- Photos saves disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture - Apple Support libraries

• 'iPhoto Library' vs 'Library of Photos' on the MBA

  I just found out two separate folders on my MBA (iPhoto Library & library Photos) each with a size of 57,15 GB. I assumed that these documents contain the same photos, so I can just delete the old iPhoto library to save HD space? I could use it of course since my HD has fallen to only 20 GB left. Ideas anyone?

  If you are sure that you don't use iPhoto again, Yes, but photography, files are hardlinked and only take place once while it is in the two libraries, so it will not free anywhere near 57 GB of space.

• Photos app cannot import iPhoto library

  My iPhoto library is quite large, 32 GB for 9 500 items.  I've recently updated my operating system and related applications, and when I use the Photo app to import the old iPhoto library, it shows 'Prepare the library' and starts the import process, but hangs up to 24% each time.  When I look in the pictures folder, I find a folder called "Photo library" normal which is fully navigable (I don't have to display the contents of the package), and find a file titled 'Masters' who is the same size as the iPhoto 'Originals' folder.  I then tried to circumvent the import process by default app Photos, creating a new library, and then import the file of masters - it finds about 9 100 files to import, short of 9 500 originals).  If I anything I'll miss 400 originals, not to mention the modified in iPhoto versions.

  I found a lot of people pointing out the import problems, but none that hangs up the same and every time, and no one Ive seen publishes the solution.

  What version of iPhoto do you have?

  Where your iPhoto library?

  Abd you are not importing the iPhoto library - you migrate - if she has not moved on initial launch drag the iPhoto library to Photos icon in the Dock

• Safe to remove iPhoto Library after upgrade to Photos

  If I understand correctly, when I started using Photos, it improved my old iPhoto library and created a new library of Photos. Basically, it is now a duplicate of the iPhoto library, correct? I am terribly insufficient disk and wanted to delete the old iPhotos library but I want to assure you that this won't make me lose a photo at this point! I use Yosemite but will improve soon as soon as I have enough recovered disk space...

  Thanks much for any help!

  Jacki

  Yes, if you're absolutely sure you don't need it, then you can delete it. But you won't get back as much space as you think. The two libraries share the same original files, so most of the space will not be recovered.

  How much space do you have?

• Could not open the new photos app after update

  I just updated my MacBook Pro (late 2011) from Yosemite to El Capitan, I am now unable to open the Photos app. I don't have iPhoto as he took in the update. Whenever I try to open the Pictures dialog box pops up saying "an unexpected error has occurred please exit and restart the application. I tried to not reopen several times, no change. I reinstalled the update of El Capitan - still unable to open the photos.
  I tried now Option + Cmde pressed at the launch of the app to fix the library - it gave me the option to repair once but could not find a library, now I can't get this option again.
  Does anyone else have this problem or help? Thank you.

  a. you have iPhoto in your list of apps in the Mac App Store - purchased I El Capitan and iPhoto 9.6.1

  b. you have a backup before you upgrade the operating system?

• After the migration to the new iMac 10.11.3 - unable to repair permissions on your Photos App library

  I bought a new iMac running El Capitan and migrated from my old iMac running 10.6.8 and opening of the Photos app after migration ended I see the error "failed to repair permissions on your library. Initially, when I open the Photo app, I'm asked to select the library migrated or create a new. I select the library migrated and then see the above error.

  I tried on my new iMac running disk utility, and there is no error reported. "I tried too hold down the command and option keys when opening the Photo app and I go as far as the window pop up prompting me that" you are about to repair of the 'iPhoto Library' library but after selecting the repair, it returns the error "year error occurred while repairing permissions" and citing is the only option given.

  I then tried to go back to my old iMac and did a full rebuild of my photo library using the command and option keys when opening iPhoto App and also ran disk utility. Then I made another backup from time machine fees and moved once more to my new iMac. This has not improved the question, and I see the same mistakes.

  I also tried the iPhoto App 3rd party download manager but it does not allow me to open the application because it returns the error iPhoto Library Manager, must have iPhoto 8.1.2 or later must be installed. Of course when you run 10.11.3. My App Photo conforms to this requirement.

  I am really confused on this issue and would appreciate any help or advice for this problem.

  Kind regards

• how get the iPhoto in new Photos app library?

  While the installation of El Capitan, iPhoto has been uninstalled and I find no more photos, I had (thousands of them) in the new Photos app. How can I recover the previous iPhoto library into the new application Photos? Right now I feel I've lost memories for many years.

  Thank you.

  1 - iPhoto has not been uninstalled by the upgrade to El Captain - it is always in your applications folder and works fine (you do not have the current version 9.6.1 - if you do not keep your software up to see date cannot update iPhoto because it is not available in the App Store )

  2 - the first time you launch Photos it should migrate the last iPhoto library used in the pictures - if it is not, or if you want to migrate additional libraries simply do them dragging the Photos icon in the dock - migration details, see How Photos handles content and metadata for iPhoto and Aperture - Apple Support
