• Synchronize the Photos and iPhoto?

  Photos arrived it imported all my photos in iPhoto. I have not really used pictures so far and now I realize that my library in pictures is a duplicate of my iPhoto library, except that they are not synchronized. My iPhoto library is updated, every photo I want is removed. This is not the case with Photos. Is there a way I can synchronize the two apps so that the pictures is exactly the same as iPhoto is now? Now iPhoto and Photos together use more than 100 GB of space, when in reality I have about half of it in photographs.

  If I can't sync, deleting photos in one application will not delete not them on the other, correct? In other words, I can delete all photos of Photos without deleting my photos in iPhoto, right?

  I have pictures 1.0.1 and iPhoto 9.6.1

  Thank you

  When you open the Photos first, the migration of the iPhoto library and photos of 2 libraries are hard linked to where they do not place additional, even though both show a large amount of data. However, from there, they are treated separately with respect to the addition or deletion of photos.

  You cannot synchronize the 2 applications. They are distinct and have nothing to do with one or the other.

  So, you might want to simply select the one you want to use and go from there. I guess that iPhoto is gradually thereafter. Photos will be more integrated into the system as well as for tasks such as sharing in emails, adding photos to apps like mail and so on.

  Yes, you can remove some or all of the photos in one application and does not affect the other.

  iPhoto is an old (now obsolete) image, photo management application is its replacement.

• Sync photos and iPhoto

  I still stubbornly use iPhoto (I migrated to El Capitan pictures first came out but I hated it) but pictures of the race is always there and almost corresponds to iPhoto. However, I found the pictures almost 1000 pictures less. Is it possible to synchronize them just in case I have to go to Photos a day?

  Using OS X 10.11.2 on an iMac 21 inch late 2009

  Thank you

  Pictures takes your iPhoto library and it migrates into your photo library. Two of them use the same photos and are pointing to the same files on the disk at that time here.

  Now, if you add for example photos in iPhoto, Photos.app will not see, that's why the pictures less. All that done in iPhoto, after the migration will not appear in the Photos. There is no way to keep the two applications and libraries is synchronized.

  You can however remove the photo library and use the iPhoto library to migrate again iPhoto to Photos. Then, this includes all the changes caused to the iPhoto library in the meantime and migrates them to Photos. BUT, if you have made changes with Photos (eg. added a few photos to Photos app instead of iPhoto) these things will be lost.

  To ensure the safety of your photos, I generally recommend to make a backup before deleting libraries etc.

• Bought last week a new iMac and iPhoto does not come as an option to download photos from Facebook...

  I used an iMac for years... bought a new iMac * last week and used my time machine back up to transfer data... ok, it has done that... now I have the toolbar "photo" and "iPhoto"...

  Until now, when I right click on a photo, I was giving the option to iPhoto to transfer photos from Facebook... now, the only option I have given is 'photo '... I don't really want to use photo... I think iPhoto is easier to use...

  So, how can I get iPhoto returned as an option?

• I've recently migrated my iPhotos to Photos, perfectly worked for a few weeks, but suddenly today, I can't open my photos in pictures

  I recently migrated from iPhoto to Photos worked perfectly and I used it for a few weeks, but today I can open my pictures suddenly not in pictures. What's wrong?

  No idea since we can't see you - you must provide details - why you can't open pictures? What is going on? What is you get the exact error message? What version of the operating system and Photos you have?

  and there's a photo for Mac forum, which is where you can ask questions Photos - I will ask to be moved your message

• Understand migrations from iPhoto to Photos

  After you migrate an iPhoto for photo library, the file extension of the iPhoto Library is changed in .migratedphotolibrary, and my understanding is that the two libraries share the same files through the use of "hard links". I've also read that if one of the libraries is published subsequently, what causes the link between versions of break. Is this true?

  If so, my questions are:

  (1) If hard links break, this means that storage on hard drive required by the two libraries is increased by the size of one of the libraries? If so, who would not take a little time if the booksellers were important, for example 100 GB or more?

  (2) immediately after the migration, what happens if one of the libraries I move to a different folder? Again break hard links? If so, same question as above.

  No - change or deletion of a form of photos a library does not break the hard link and has no effect on the other library - they are totally independent

  1 - Yes

  2. Yes, I believe that to break hard links - travel for sure as a library to another volume break

  Why move a? Usually simply leave you it where it is for several months until you are sure that you need is no longer and then archive and delete

• iPhoto or Photos?

  Which one should I use? I have both on my computer. I use OS X El Capitan 10.11.3

  Some of my photos (in each program) I can't edit. I click on edit and all the editing options are grayed out.

  

  I have also a large NUMBER of photos that are not displayed. They are a white box with nothing in it.

  

  Any idea what's going on? Where are my photos and what program should I be using? Does this mean photos are doubles and too much room in iPhoto and Photos?

  A question at the same time help

  1 you use is totally personal - support iPhoto has been interrupted for more than a year and one day he will stop working - for those who have only update every five years that is not a problem - if you install each update, it is - and Photos have more features than iPhoto and a stream of completely different work - so you fist need to make this decision

  2 - once you take a decision on the software you want to use, then you will need to provide clear symptoms and doubts, including the version and exact context

  4. with regard to space - not - when you are migrating from iPhoto to Photos both libraries use hard towards the same original photos links and previews same so little extra space is used - Photos saves disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture - Apple Support libraries

  5 - and you're three updates behind - your first step should be updated to OS X 10.11.6, the current version of the operating system - which might or might not help things but is a good idea

• How can I use iPhoto importing photos from card reader?

  Aloha all, I really prefer to use iPhoto, or opening when importing photos from card, but Photos opens whenever I put in my camera card. In the preferences of the Photo, the choice to select what app to use when importing is gray. How can I make iPhoto, or even simply to capture Image open rather than Photos? I put iPhoto preferences to do this, but it seems pictures somehow overrides it. Tips, tips out there? Mahalo

  Try to set the default application to open the General preferences in iPhoto window:

  

  Do you know that iPhoto is no longer supported by Apple print shops so that all projects must be created and controls through Photos?  Just a heads-up.

  If the above does not work, you can kill all apps to open when a camera is connected with the following command in the Terminal application, posted by JadedEye:

  Re: Prevent DEFINITELY the Photos to open automatically

  in response to leonie

  OK, it worked for me on El Cap

  Open a terminal window

  Type the following in the terminal and press enter

  defaults write currentHost - com.apple.ImageCapture disableHotPlug - bool YES

  (followed by the return key or enter - ed)

  The exit of the terminal.

  Photos will run if you run, but it will not autolaunch on each connection to a camera or the card or reformatted the card.

  If you want to return Photos auto-launch almost everything, use the same command change YES no

  This correction has set my workflow back to normal without Photos of gd lance all the time.

  You must then manually run the application that you want to use with the memory card or camera.

  

• Use iPhoto or Photos for books?

  Hello. I have more than a dozen iPhoto libraries, one for each year. What I do is make albums and then the books for my trips or a book each year. I'm back doing the books. Now with the Photos app (and faster, etc.), I wonder if I should migrate my iPhoto library Photos and allows to make albums and photo books? Is there any advantage in doing that? It would mean that I'll end up with several libraries of Photos, because it cannot allow me to combine several iPhoto Library in pictures.

  I thought I would like a link libraries, instead of importing thousands of same photos in the new libraries of Photos. So the main question is whether or not there is an advantage in the migration of all my libraries of iPhoto in the libraries of Photos, or simply stick with iPhoto and make my books there. Thank you.

  You can no longer print books in iPhoto in any case, because Apple has stopped the iPhoto book printing service.  If you want that your books printed by Apple, the new Photos.app as the only option now.  Photos Presto can print your iPhoto books, if export you it to a PDF file.

  If you open an iPhoto photo library, the library migrated will not need a lot of extra storage, see this document: Photos saves disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture - Apple Support libraries

  Long term, it will be best to take Photos for Mac, because iPhoto will be less intense.

  A few options: If you also have the opening, you can easily merge all iPhoto libraries into one before migrating to Photos.

• naming and export a photo

  I El Capitan and am only accustomed to the use of iPhoto.

  First of all, I don't like.

  A 2007 "answer" to a similar question by another included stuff like that.

  '1 the name Version for 'Master Filename' drop.

  2. open the Inspector of the metadata - a preset which will display the Version name. »

  Never heard of these Master, or Version designations.  OK, so I look/click/Open all the tabs but can not see one of these words.

  Back to my problem (in real English): when I have finished editing a photo that I dragged in 'Photos' [and BTW, why appoint an application something like 'Photos' (when it looks so much like a word - like pictures - that you can use in a question?)] ...  I then choose to export the new version on my desktop.  I have a drop down menu to choose the format and only three options for the use of their title, filename, or sequential mode.

  I click on 'EXPORT', and a menu down to where I want to export the photo.  I chose the office.  There is no room to give me a name to the picture.

  I decide to go forward; I find the photo on my desk which gives him name pictures.

  But after clicking 'EXPORT' (new) there is no picture on my desk.  If I knew what the name was, I could just it search by name and my Mac could help me to find it.   Just so you don't get not technical all that is something I learned to do on a MacMini 2008 without any search on the web for instructions, it would be useful that you could just tell how to name this photo of my own choice.  How strange is that?

  Bad luck.

  a few things

  If you don't like iPhoto, why do you use? It is completely optional

  You can not 'name' photos in iPhoto - you can give them a title and a description

  As for export, it's simple - select the photo and export (menu, file == > export) - there are many options when exporting - see this user exporting from iPhoto - including one for trick use the title as file name

  As for your tip 2007 - you understand that it's more than nine 9 years - I don't know what it is, or what is his intention, but you told about it does not apply to all versions of iPhoto

  You use iPhoto ro Photos? You say both of them, so I don't know - but the answer for the pictures, it is the same (except that you may need to open the export options to see them all - if you use the pictures and do not have the options then clikc on the v of the thr right of JPEG to open the full set of options)

  and the rest of your post makes no sense at all - I'm not sure if this is the part of your question or just hiking

  If you need more help read this user tip on a responsible question - wrote a matter of Apple Support effective communities - a hint of base - no editorials and clearly a question and include the details of what you have and not long of foreign things like 9 years older stations which have no applicability to the question

• Captions and text in Photos

  I want to add text to my images in the photos and the new version doesn't seem to have that (unlike iPhoto).  I use Keynote to create a slideshow?  If so, are there and an easy way to transfer an album in Keynote or must I copy each image?

  What do you mean by

  I want to add text to my pictures in photos

  You can add a title exactly as you might in iPhoto - in the view menu == > metadata check titles - just right-click on a photo and info and enter the title it

  Similarly, you can add a description in the Info window

  If you want to have the text on the photo you need an external editor, exactly as you did in iPhoto - preview can do and to use it as an external editor, you need external for extension of photo editorssince the App store

  and you can create slide shows of Photos that you could in iPhoto

  Please explain what you want and exactly what you are doing and what is the question

• How can I migrate iPhotos to Photos - reflection I did but I seem to have two libraries

  I thought that I migrated my Photos iPhotos and then my library to iCloud, where I have more than 26 000 photos and video. Now, I'm moving the photo library on an external drive. On my iMac in the pictures folder, there is a library of photos and and the iPhotos.migrated library. But on my macbook pro (which is currently my main computer) the pictures folder has a library of Photos and iPhotos library in the pictures folder. It does not specifically say 'iPhotos migrated' as it does on the iMac. So when I move the library of photos on the external drive and designate it as the system - there's something missing. I want to have my entire library of photos on the hard drive external and download all original there. But I did not all 26 000 more pictures on the local external hard drive - only in the cloud - even after checking the Mac's original download. I wonder if something was not working at the moment where I first migrated my iPhotos to the pictures library. All of the suggestions.

  Sorry, but 'something' is missing is not what we can answer - what exactly you see as missing and whence?

  When you migrate from iPhoto to the iPhoto library is migrated - changes if you open it using iPhoto Photos ask you if you want the iPhoto library or photo library and if you open the iPhoto migration library is deleted since you can now make changes causing it to be different from the photo library

  When you move with Photos or iPhoto library you break hard links, so all the pictures are copied to the destination

  If you have a library of Photos that is optimized shape iCloud photo library you must first download the originals

  I hope this helps - learn to give clear details of what you have and what is your question

• PSE 8 for mac and iphoto 09

  I read on the elements 8 for mac page it works easily with iphoto. My question is how?

  I don't see anything in the documentation of the elements on the use of iphoto and when I try to access the iphoto library via file > open and select iphoto library and click Open, I get a message telling me that my request could not be performed because of a program error. I use iphoto 09. I am new to both the elements and the mac. Can anyone help? How the components work with iphoto?

  Thank you.

  With iphoto, you have two choices:

  1. set the PSE as external editor for iphoto, then send your images in iphoto to PSE when you want to work on them. Save, not to save as, and iphoto will remember a version set + original, although you may need to change the preference on first save in EPS to allow you to do.

  2. export your photos on the desktop, open them in PSE via drag and drop or file > open, save files published under a new name, and then reimport the files edited in the form of new images.

• Migrating from iPhoto to Photos

  I just upgraded to El Capitan and want to start using the Photos, I have followed the procedures to migrate my old iPhoto library Photos with my library of Photos appointed to reside on another internal hard drive.  I tried several times, but shortly after the migration has started I got the message that there insufficient space disc - 10 GIG necessary.  The drive I'm migration towards had 240 available concerts.  I tried to reformat the drive and emptied of all other files so that its complete 250 concerts are available, but the process still hangs on to 8% with the same message - not enough disk space.  Can someone give me an idea as to what is the problem?

  What is the format of the second internal drive where the library s iPhoto stored? How many free space your main internal drive there? What is your iPhoto library

  And since there is no single move procedure and what you are doing is not working, it would be useful for you to actually share the procedure that you use
