I don't think this is necessary or appropriate. See my answers this related discussion for an alternative (including "hide" the two updates): http://answers.microsoft.com/thread/0138da5b-1ecb-44fe-bdd9-6e4cf558afd8

  • has obtained several photos and iphotos files and you want to merge all of this.

    Hello.

    I want to thank the members of the community to help :-).

    I have a macbook pro, mid-2012.

    OS version: 10.11.3 (El Capitan).

    I had to format my computer and installs all the photos/iphotos files I had in the cloud (dropbox), but now, after having copied the folder to the back, I noticed that I have a problem - history

    I see 4 different folders, all under the iPhoto library:

    1 iPhoto library

    2 iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary

    3 iPhoto Library.photolibrary

    4. photos Library.photoslibrary

    I remember I have started a sort of fusion between iPhoto & Photos once Apple has released the new Photos app, but frankly, I never understood the concept, what I'm doing and why (sorry, that was my mistake, and maybe I should have approached support that).

    So, my questions:

    1. How can I configure the app Photos to point to the appropriate folder, and the folder where it should be?

    2. How can ensure me that ALL the images I've ever taken are covered in this folder (merged correctly), in order to avoid the lack of some of them?

    3. I would like to delete unnecessary records because they take a lot of space, but how can I be sure I'm not losing images?

    Thank you :-).

    Hi Gadi,

    must remove or libraries, until you find one that works... Frankly, Dropbox is not a safe place to store some libraries. Libraries, I tested in Dropbox have been corrupted by the synchronization.  SO keep all of them, or copies of them, until you found one that works.

    To find the best look of the library for the file size and the date last modified.  You have imported new photos in your amber iphoto library library you first tried to open the new Photos.app?  If this is not the case, try to move the Photos Library.photoslibrary Photos icon in the Dock.  The photos must be able to open this library.

    If Library.photoslibrary Photos is only small, try opening the largest of iPhoto Library.photolibrary or iPhoto Library in pictures by dragging one of them on the Photos icon.  One of them works?

  • My camera has reached 9999 photos and started renumbering 0001 but in a different folder.  If I import new photos in iPhoto, the older photos with the same numbers are overwritten?

    My camera is renumbering pictures from 0001, but a new camera case.  If I import new photos in iPhoto, they replace the old photos with the same numbers?  The camera knows that they are in a different folder, but what happens when I import into iPhoto?

    iPHoto manages very well duplicate file names - each import is in another folder in the database - no problem

  • DSLR-A380 will not take photo and resets all settings

    My DSLR-A380 has had this problem under and turned off for a while now, but now it seems finally kaput. The camera turns on good and works as normal, except that the pictures will not save. When the trigger is depressed, it looks like he took the picture, the FVO screen goes black as if previewing the image loading, but then it resets and there is no saved photo. I had several people try to take photos and in different scenes/light, and it's the same problem. For a while, this seemed to happen randomly whenever I turned on the device. Sometimes it would work. Sometimes not. Now, it seems to be permanent. I tried to change all of the possible settings, but the given parameters to zero when I take a picture, including the aperture, shutter speed and ISO. The same problem occurs with Auto, manual or any other scene/priority setting.

    Battery is fully charged. Memory card room, is released and inserted correctly. The only reason I can think is that I dropped the camera on the concrete on a year and a half. He fell from lens face down. But I use the camera since then. It's only this week that it is dead.

    The camera needs to be repaired or replaced? I wouldn't replace the camera if there is a small patch.

    Strange things happen when the rechargeable batteries are aging. The fact to keep settings to reset is the most significant symptom, and that being the case, I don't think that there is more need to do a "hard reset." In fact, he wouldn't have enough 'juice' to format a new card.

  • error code while trying to open the photos include JPEG and BMP files: C:\Documents and Settings\Jim\My Documents\My Pictures\img005.jpg is not a valid Win32 application

    I withdrew just a very good old scanner which apparently couldn't handle the recent installation of Windows XP Service Pack 2 or 3, and went with a rather nice Epson V330 Photo.   I uninstalled all old software, want my images to JPEG and BMP to open in Adobe PhotoShop Elements 8 for editing and development.  It is my job and my hobby and means of photography technique.  I reinstalled the scanner by removing the Arcsoft software with which it has been furnished, which is not really suitable for what I do.

    Now, I can not open JPEG in PhotoShop Elements 8.0 and here I get the error message:

    C:\Documents and Settings\Jim\My Documents\My Pictures\img005.jpg is not a valid Win32 application

    It seems to have something to do with the hack with the folder options after that I spilled the Arcsoft as any kind of primary program.

    BUT I have to open JPEG files, and it MUST be in PhotoShop Elements 8, I bought.  I can see, overview and could open to the limited capacity of some of the ArcSoft stuff, but I'm not interested in distance using that.

    How can I get these files/folders to open in something useful?  I was able to create JPEG on the new scanner, but now my computer opens not those or 'old' of my files.   See the warning message.

    I'm trying to uninstall all the software now and do not reinstall the stuff of Arcsoft, which would not be useful for me in any setting.   But I do not think that this will be the solution, as my computer can not open these key files in PhotoShop Elements 8.0.

    I think it's something I did during the passage, but I did system restore and NO RESULT.  NONE!

    If you open a directory of photos and go to the thumbnail view in Explorer, they display the thumbnails correctly?
     
    I think that you need to reset the file association for programs that open the image files.  Try a right-click on a jpeg file and go to properties and click on the button to edit, and then designate PS elements 8 as the top program open with, and then see if it works very well.
     
    You can also check the settings in the registry for the types of image files.  Seewww.oehelp.com/noimg.aspx , which deals with a related issue.
