• How can I move photos from a Photo library on my Mac to a library of photos in an external drive?

  I have 10 GB of photos in a photo library on my Mac Air, which is running out of storage space. I would like to move the photos to another library of Photos in an external drive which already hosts most of my photo archives. How can I execute the move?

  Thank you!

  Marco.

  Copy the library from the internal drive to the external drive. You can then open the library on the external hard drive by double clicking it and check, if the copy does not work.

  Photos has no tools to merge libraries. You can use both libraries alternating, or export the photos of a library and import them into the other library.

  Or use the application PowerPhotos to merge the two libraries move photos from one library to another.

  You will need the full version and paid f PowerPhotos to do.

• How can I transfer my library of Photos to an external HD?

  Hello

  To free up space on my internal hard drive (macbook air), I want to move my entire library of Photos (about 85 GB) on a hard disk external. When I try to drag the library of Photos from my pictures folder, it says that I can't file in the external hard drive. When I copy, he says that I can not stick it in my external hard drive. The hard drive has a capacity of 1 TB and is empty. Any suggestions would be welcome!

  PS - once resolved, I also want to know if there are complications around the pictures if I have my main one on an external hard drive, but still add pictures in Photos on my intern.

  Thank you

  Annette

  The external disk should be in Mac OS extended (journaled) format, a fast FireWire connection, love at first sight or wired USB-related and not used as a backup volume Time Machine - it is best to check ignore permissions in info for the reader window - then just drag the photo library it intact as a single entity , the launch of PHotos while pressing the option key, and then select the new location - this will become the library by default until you change

• I have an ERROR CODE 36 during the backup of my library of PHOTOS from one external drive to another. What is the best way to solve this problem? Also, what is someone used 'dot_clean '?

  I have a MacBook Pro that is primarily used for PHOTOS and use 2 external drives 1 for holding my PHOTO library and one for the back up. I have about 1 TB of data of photos. My back ups have worked perfectly since the establishment more than 12 months ago. However, I just got a CODE of ERROR - 36 problem which prevents the backup after that about 700 GB of data has been processed. I need to find a solution and I was wondering if anyone can advise me on that. I saw something called "dot_clean" on the web and I was wondering if it is safe to consider option.

  If the Photos or iPhoto is running, exit it and try the backup again.

• Can I download originals to iCloud for mac before move library of photos on external hard drive

  I moved my library of photos from my laptop on a thunderbolt 2 TB external drive. I opened pictures (option click) and chose this place to open. Then I opened the photos and click preferences on use this as library of photos of systems. I checked iCloud and he said that I had referenced files that could not be downloaded and consolidate them. I do not know which files are "referenced". These would be photos of the former library of iPhotos that was imported in the Photos. I have more than 20,000 pictures on iCloud. Will they all finally downloaded to my new library of pictures on the external hard drive? Or I have to download the originals on my mac before moving the library of photos on the external drive. I maybe need all start over and do it - except that I don't have enough space on my drive SSD from Mac to keep them all.

  Any suggestions? My plan was to have my photos on iCloud, the originals on disk external hard and then the mac and HD on my time capsule. Access iCloud on my iPad photos air and iPhones, iPad pro.

  When I look at the size of the library of photos in my pictures folder, it is about 12 GB - there is also an iPhotos library in the images folder which is 63 GB. I think I have to combine these files but don't know how to do this. If I also moves the iPhotos library to the new external hard drive which will be done automatically. Obviously I have not deleted the folders in the library on my Mac until it works.

  They must synchronize the external disk if it's where you said Photos your library is (that you have).

• Lightroom cannot import photos from disk hard iMac and extern library

  Using the trial version I can't import pictures from the library drive hard iMac and extern. Libraries are gray and do not react. Why? And what to do?

  At present there are no plug-in to import the new photo App. If you want your photos to display any edition already made in iPhoto/Aperture/Photos, it is better for export versions to the desktop or create new folders in the Finder. Then import duplicates in Lightroom. You can also include IPTC metadata during the creation of new versions.

• Save the library of Photos with faces

  Hello

  I had to reinstall my Mac (clean). I supported my library of Photos (with iCloud than on library) on an external drive. Then all deleted and reinstalled my system. After put my photo library and turning on iCloud, all my 4000 pictures started downloading (and duplication) iCloud even they were already there. I had to stop this, delete my backup of the library of Photos and all photos were downloaded from iCloud. It would have been nice if I lose all my face tags (I spent a lot of time with) so how can I do the next time that when reinstalling my Mac?

  Thanks for the tips.

  It do exactly what you did the first time. Make a backup of your library of photos on an external drive and copy this library back to restore.

  The pictures will download all the photos again and compare with iCloud photo library. It will not recognize the library restored as the same library it used before, but she uses a detection duplicates to prevent adding duplicates. It will take as long as the initial download.

  If you start with a library empty projects and thumbnails of faces will be lost.  (Use pictures and iCloud library on several Macs - Apple Support)  But the restored Library searchable faces tags. You can still search the faces you assigned previously and use to recreate thumbnails of faces more quickly.

  But wait, face detection was performed on the photos downloaded from iCloud photo library.

• ICloud download duplicates if she tries to download a backup library on a new computer?

  General information

  I am running OS X El Capitan on my MacBook Pro. My current setup, I have the Photos.app using a library of Photos on an external HARD drive. The photo library is 136 GB and is synchronized with iCloud library where I have 200 b of storage.

  I reinstalled OS X, formatting the SSD and got all my apps resettled. Then I tried to keep my library of Photos on my internal flash SSD instead of the external HARD disk drive permanently. I copied my library of Photos on the SSD, maintained key Option and selected my GB 136 Photos library as the library of Photos.app.  I went into Preferences and then set this as my default system for the pictures library.

  The question

  When I opened my preferences of library 136 GB in Photos.app the iCloud library option is not checked. When I checked, he warned me that I don't have enough storage in iCloud to accommodate 136 b pictures. I got 84 GB remaining. He asked me to upgrade my 1 TB storage plan. It's not like he's smart enough to understand that the library I've got, the 136 GB of photos & videos, is same Go 136 of photos & videos that he seeks to online.

  When I say just Photos.app continue to use my 200 GB storage plan, he complains that it will not be able to fit all these photos on iCloud. It will re - download all the pictures in my library? Is this enough smart to analyze any libraries (Commons and iCloud) and determine these already exist in iCloud and therefore do not need to be downloaded? I guess it would be, and in the end, I'll have my library connected to iCloud and two places containing 136 GB of data. The way in which their dialogue to explain it but won't let me not confident in this respect. The current situation shows that it downloads again everything that makes me concerned about potential duplicates.

  

  My ISP limit myself to 250 GB a month of bandwidth, so re - download the library consumes half of our data for the month. I really want to start using the library, I had already downloaded before formatting and reinstalling OS X.

  Any guidance would be great.

  Pictures downloads the complete library again at the slightest provocation.  For example, if you repair your photo library, it will download all the photos again, but it is to check in iCloud duplicates and will keep only one copy of identical pictures. But even once will take to download usually as long as the initial download, it may take even more time because of the correspondence with the photos in iCloud.

  What you could do instead was to create an empty photo library on the internal disk, enable this as the library of the system and your iCloud current photo library and wait for the pictures to download from iCloud. It will be faster to download again. The only downside would be that the thumbnails of faces are not stored in iCloud, tags searchable faces, so you should recreate the faces. It will be faster than the initial allocation of the faces, but still a lot of work.

• Plug-in for importing the library of Photos of OSX to Lightroom?

  Hi all, I upgraded a library iPhotos to the new Photos app when it first came out. Since I am aware that Lightroom had a 'Import iPhoto' plugin, I always thought a 'Import of Photos' plugin would be available. But from my research on the Internet, it seems that Adobe has not developed a. My problem is that I have spent a lot of time to organize my photos into albums in the new library of Photos app, and I can't afford to redo all this back in Lightroom. These aren't simple stereotypes that can be simply rearranged by date - they are images of a multi-year research project and have 36 000 photographs relating to very specific categories of information. Given that many photos appear on several albums, it is not as easy as the export of each album as a group to, and then import them into Lightroom to keep separated/grouped.

  I would be grateful for any help on how to import my library of Photos in Lightroom (CC or other) while keeping the organization from the album - the knowledge to see if Adobe (or a third-party developer?) has plans to make a plug-in similar to the one they had for iPhotos. Essentially, the current limitation means that I cannot become a permanent user of Lightroom and will to always be attached to my Photos app.

  PS - open my photo library in iPhoto does not work either - it shows that the albums I've done until I upgraded to Photos, not worth year-end additional organization I've done since. I was surprised by that, because I was hoping it would be a miracle solution (i.e. opening of new photo library in iPhoto, then using "Import from iPhoto" Lightroom plugin).

  You should be able to export versions of Photos with IPTC metadata. Export to the desktop or even better, in a folder on a regular basis using the Finder. Import duplicates in Lightroom and you should be able to quickly use keywords to make collections if you add temporary words prior to export.

• Photos added in the download on my PC "iCloud Photos" folder do not appear in iCloud. iCloud download photo library box unticked by itself after a minute.

  Photos added in the download on my PC "iCloud Photos" folder do not appear in iCloud. In addition, iCloud library box get unchecked by itself after a minute. I had already added a subdirectory with images in the "Uploads" directory that uses 54 MB and I don't see them going to the cloud.

  The problem disappeared after restarting my PC. Thanks to the support of Apple make this stage of growth of fundamental problems.

• Photos wants re - download my entire library

  I recently had my iMac HARD drive replaced under the recall and thought I was smart by backing up my library of Photos on a laptop HARD drive beforehand (so I didn't have to download all the 500 GB to restore). Now, I have my machine backward, I restored the library to its former location, selected photos, on iCloud Photos, set it to the library system and... he wants to download * the entire library to the cloud... even if it is exactly what is already there.

  -A any who successfully restored a local backup of their library and re plugged on iCloud?

  -Am I crazy to think that it should recognize the files on the iMac as what exists in the cloud? I used Dropbox, SugarSync and CrashPlan and they seem to manage it.

  See you soon.

  * I have an asymmetrical connection stupidly (100Mbs down, 2Mbs upward) and both up and down the County towards my quota for re - download isn't really an option. I could remove the library and have it re - download in the coming months, but really?

  There is no help for it.  When you restore a library of Photos, move it to another drive, or even just fix it. Pictures download pictures again to merge with what is currently in iCloud. Must download files to iCloud and compare.

  You can avoid the download to come away with a new library, which will download icloud.

  But this way, you will lose all printing projects - books, calendars, cards.   Thumbnails of faces are not stored in iCloud, so you will need to name the thumbnails of faces again.

• What happens when the photo of system library is on an external drive and then the system creates a library of Photos? How do merge you them?

  What happens when the photo of system library is on an external drive and then the system creates a library of Photos? How do merge you them?

  Your library system can be on an external drive, if the drive is Mac OS extended (journaled) format and mounted on-site.

  But you must be careful, your external drive is always connected and available before the Photos and to import new photos.

  If Photos opens a different library, news, you can switch to the library on your external drive by double clicking on an external library. You can have several libraries, no problem.

  But pictures don't have any tools to merge libraries. You can switch between libraries, then open them alternately.  To merge two libraries export the photos of the smallest library and import the photos exported in the largest library.

  Or use third-party "PowerPhotos" to move photos between libraries.  But the merger is not supported in the free trial version. You must purchase the full version. You can download it here: Fat Cat Software
