How can I reset (not repair) Photos

Hi all

I have multiple problems with Photos at the moment. I have about a library of 25,000 weighing 180 GB. It was originally and iPhoto library, then an Aperture library and now photos. He was until a few weeks ago the synchronization of photos of 25,000 to my iOS devices. However, now it syncs only 22'000. I tried, repair, removal of Cache and even import photos to a new library. Always on 22'000. I know that there are more pictures than that because I exported manually all at a very low quality jpg (takes too long otherwise) and I'm back to 25'000 again.

Among other things, in spite (painfully the jump) and delete the iPhoto 'album' events also still sync with my iOS devices, but they do not exist in my library of over?

Time to reset the * thing and start over. Anyone have any ideas?

Key points are: photos and their metadata (Inc., time capture, location and peripheral) must be kept. It would be a pity to lose key words and faces, but I can live with that.

Most of them are Raw files that have been published elsewhere were (the files are consolidated) but the exporting and importing countries will fall with this size library.

Can't wait to hear the responses! Thanks for your help!

Here's a simple way to start over with a new library and import the original/master image files which have been imported into your current library. They keep all of the EXIF metadata located in the original files.  All other metadata, IPTC added photos, projects and other organizing efforts will be lost.  And you will lose with all the event represented by albums in the new library, as described in this thing of iPhoto: Moments in Photos are new events

Starting Over from scratch with a new library of Photos.

1 - Launch Photos with the hold Option key and create a new library.

2 - Open your old library with the Finder package as shown in this screenshot:

3. Locate the master file in the old library and drag it on the Photos icon in the Dock.

This will create a new library with the same time as the original library, but will not include the metadata, albums, slideshows of books and other projects.

Note: your current library will be left for subsequent attempts a difficulty if you wish.

Once the completed import check to see if the new library all your photos and work correctly before you remove the old library, problem.

DISCLOSURE: Personally I am not a supporter of the iCloud library because it requires having to buy storage and is a bit slow to respond to printing and using files of origin in slide shows, books, etc.  I have also no need to have all 30,000 of my photos on my iPhone.  This is why I do not recommend to use it.  I also know I'm not the target audience for the iCPL - too old.

  • My iPhone does not to import! How can I appear in the Photos and delete those that are already imported?

    My iPhone does not to import! How can I appear in the Photos and delete those that are already imported?

    My iPad appears fine with an option to import the 'new' photos and then delete them once they are imported. However my iPhone appears not at all on the pictures. Although most is already imported via the cloud, some are not, but more importantly, I would remove at least half of 30 000 photos that are taking place on my phone and a "clear items after button import" would be nice right now! I tried to turn off photo stream on my phone, but it still does not appear in the application.

    What can I do?

    Thank you!

    If you use iCloud photo library you cannot delete pictures after the import (or) - deletions on any device will be on all devices - if storage is a question about a device set to use optimized photos

  • forgot my password for the administrative account.i did not a password reset disk. AlSi o do not have a disk to recover. How can I reset my password or put them on the administrative account? __

    I don't remember what my password for the administrative account.i did not a password reset disk.  AlSi o do not have a disk to recover. How can I reset my password or put on the administrative account?

    If you have forgotten your password, if you have another user who has administrative privileges account you can log in to that account and change the password of your account of origin of the user accounts applet in Control Panel. If you do not have another account like this set upwards or that you do not have the password which you will need to log on to the built-in Administrator account. In XP Home, start the computer in Mode safe. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. This will put you in the right menu. Navigate using your arrow up; the mouse does not work here. Once in safe mode, you will see the normally hidden administrator account. The default password is white.

    In XP Pro, you don't need to go to Safe Mode. In the home screen, do Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in "Administrator" and the password that you assigned when you set up Windows.

    If you reset the password of the account administrator integrated into house or have Pro and don't remember the password, use NTpasswd to change the password of the built-in to a white administrator account. Download the bootable CD .iso image file, burn with third-party burning software such as free ImgBurn , Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Start with the media that you have created. You need to maybe change the boot order in the BIOS or obtain a menu of boot command temporary with the pressure of a special key. NTpasswd will run. Follow the instructions carefully.

    Then, go to the user accounts applet in Control Panel and set passwords that you remember and other changes. WRITE THE PASSWORDS DOWN AND PUT THEM SOMEWHERE YOU WON'T LOSE THEM.

  • My profile is missing for Firefox does not open. How can I reset it then?

    I've been using Firefox since one some time walking, but used a different browser as my main. Now that this browser is obsolete and there is no update available, I wanted to switch to Firefox permanently. Given that all my favorites are only updated on my old browser, I thought it would be much easier, simply uninstall and reinstall Firefox and automatically carried over to my favorites (since that first made some time ago). While looking up how to install it, I came across something that says that the bookmarks are stored in a 'profile' that had to be deleted to be reset. I followed the instructions to remove my profile, then uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox.

    NOW, I'm going to open my newly installed Firefox and a window pops up that says: "cannot load your Firefox profile. It may be missing or inaccessible. »... Well, I wanted to start over completely, so of course I don't have a profile more. But my only option now is to click on this window, and Firefox disappears. No means to access anything whatsoever on Firefox, no options, no nothing so all of the so-called 'solutions' that I've seen (IE: reset the profile...) "I can't do that either!) It is impossible for me to do.

    All I wanted to do was end of beginning completely with Firefox which seemed to be a very simple solution and has now turned into a chore and an unusable browser. How can I reset or create a new profile without being IN Firefox to do? Deleted my profile an error? If so, your help page is very misleading!

    Someone please help. I really don't want to use a DIFFERENT browser.

    Thank you!!

    A possible/probable cause is a problem with the file profiles.ini and the profile marked as the default value = 1 in this file is no longer present on the hard drive.

    • Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\
      C:\Users\ < user > < profile > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.
    • Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/
    • Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox /.

    You can use one of them to make the Creation/use of a new default profile for Firefox:

    • Remove the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile
    • Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile
    • Use "Choose a folder" when you create a new profile to select the location of a lost profile and recover this profile
