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?

    • Internet Explorer 6?
    • Internet Explorer 7?
    • Internet Explorer 8?

    Yes - the instructions may vary by"version", if you need to know what version (ALT + H, yet the ALT key, release H and press A then all the buttons then in Internet Explorer) Internet Explorer you use.

    For example: to delete your browsing history in Internet Explorer 7

    1. Open Internet Options by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, clicking network and Internet, and then clicking Internet Options.

    2. Click the general tab and then, under browsing history, click delete.

    3. Under history, click clear history, and then click Yes to confirm that you want to delete the history.

    4. Click close, and then click OK.

    To remove all or part of your browsing history in Internet Explorer 8

    1. Open Internet Explorer by clicking on the Start button and then about Internet Explorer.

    2. Click the safety button, and then click delete browsing history.

    3. If you do not want to delete the cookies and files associated with websites in your Favorites list, check the box of data from the Web site preserve Favorites .

    4. Select the check box next to each category of information you want to delete.

    5. Click Remove.

    As for the rest of your question - you need to better define what you mean by "go private" because if all you want to say is do not keep a history - just sure the value 0 days or put empty when you close Internet Explorer.  I wouldn't consider that private browsing, but some might if they are simply hidden some of their most obvious pieces of the local prying.

    You can change the dates before you import using Preview software or third party or after importation using the time command to settle in Photos

  • I have two libraries 'photos' and only want one. How Merge/consolidate their?

    I have two libraries 'photos' and only want one. How Merge/consolidate their?

    Photos has no tool to merge two libraries by importing each other.

    • You can export the photos of the smallest library and import them into the largest library,
    • or merge libraries in iCloud, if you sign up for enough storage iCloud accommodate the merged libraries.  To merge in iCloud activate one of your photo libraries as the photo library iCloud and wait for the pictures to download on iCloud, then proceed to the second library, enable this as the iCloud photo library, wait for the pictures to download. iCloud will download the pictures of the first library to the second, and you'll have a library merged in the second library.

    Or buy PowerPhotos.  This tool allows you to move photos between libraries and can help you merge some libraries. You can buy it here:

    If you are on subscription, you just install it on your new computer and sign in with your ID Adobe that you used to buy PS when you arrive up to two installs, it will tell you that you have exceeded you install limit and asks if you want to disconnect other computers. Just so disconnect you. No need to have to disable or call Adobe!
