• Lost photo library

  I have multiple iPhoto libraries that I regularly accesses via iPhoto. However, I opened a these libraries in Photos iPhoto, which succeeded, but I now cannot locate the original photo library. Y at - it somewhere that I can search to locate the missing library and then restore on Photos? Also, is there a satisfactory means to merge libraries (i.e. old libraries of iPhoto with current photo library, assuming I can find the latter)? I used iPhoto Library Manager to merge previous iPhoto library in the past. Apple provides a tool to merge in the latest version of Photos?

  Photos library is normally located in your pictures folder. However, if it has been moved, you can locate it by a Spotlight search

  or now the option/alt key when you start Photos, this will bring up the dialog to choose library, which will show at all the

  Photos, iPhoto and opening libraries that are on your mac or on the connected drives. Select to open pictures.

  With regard to the merger of libraries I'm not sure I think that you can not open the library up in pictures, export the images to a folder

  then import that their return in the library that you want to merge. Or you can export to iPhoto an iPhoto library,

  in a file and then import them into your photo in photo library.

• Creation of photo library

  I just updated my 2008 PowerBook for a ssd hard drive and have the old internal drive in an external drive. I found the old photo library with externally connected and can select it and see pictures but cannot create a new library on the new SSD without error message when the file is transferred. My plan was to drag and drop it on the desktop and place it in the new folder of pictures and find a picture to make the new library. It seems he just can't copy a file too big, 90 GB and trying, but it is not all the way.  I tried to drag and drop time machine too with the same problem. Do I need an app or is there something about the Photo to get the library directly and create a new one on the ssd? I made a backup direct time machine I wanted a new system not cluttered with all the old debris virtually everything but the pictures are set up on the new SSD at this stage. Thank you!

  Your old photo library may have a corrupt and need of repair before copy you it to the drive internal.  Also, there may be permission and file ownership issues.

  I would first try to repair the photo library - how to fix is described on this help page: https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/?lang=en#/pht6be18f93

  Then try again to drag the library to the internal drive.

  It copies without errors?  If this is not the case, use a software of cloning (Carbon Copy Cloner, Super Duper). to clone the photo library to the new location. This can work around errors in the file.

• How to restore a photo library using iCloud on a MacBook?

  I now use iCloud for back up my entire library (more than 200 GB).  How to restore a photo library (including all data of pictures like faces, events, etc.) on my MacBook Pro when my MacBook Pro needs to be replaced?

  I used historically Time Machine to backup and restore my library when my photo library migration to another laptop.  However, I now do not have a backup Time Machine full of my library because the library is too large to store locally.  So now, I'm opting for storing it on iCloud to Apple servers using their 'optimize' Photos option.  Now, if I replace my laptop, I would be sure that as transparent as Time Machine restore solution is to obtain and import the Photo library (for example, the index of all my photos, events / files, location tags, face tags, etc.) on my new laptop directly from iCloud.

  Enjoy any clarity in iCloud library restore capabilities!

  I now use iCloud for back up my entire library (more than 200 GB).  How to restore a photo library (including all data of pictures like faces, events, etc.) on my MacBook Pro when my MacBook Pro needs to be replaced?

  You can create an empty photo library on your new Mac, and then enable iCloud photo library for this new library of Photos.  The library will download icloud, and most of the elements will be restored.

  But iCloud is not a backup. It's a centralized storage to keep all libraries updated on all your devices.

  There are some things that will not be restored to iCloud, for example the albums faces or your projects.

  This document describes how a library will be uploaded to iCloud to another Mac:

  Use iCloud photo library on several Mac - Apple Support computers and Photos

  After have connected you, these items appear in the Photos on your Mac app:

  • All photos and original videos
  • All folders and albums
  • Smart albums
  • Keywords
  • Keywords from searches of the tile faces
  • Key photo selections

  These items are available only on the Mac where you created the:

  • Books, cards and calendars
  • Slideshows
  • Keyword shortcuts
  • Unused keywords
  • Last album imported (this album contains photos you have imported recently on a specific Mac)
  • Facing tiles and faces of the data

  I is not entirely based on iCloud as a backup of your photos, but sometimes create a copy of your photo library on an external drive. In this way, you can restore your library, even if you are having problems with the internet connection, and it will be faster.

• Cannot repair the photo library. The best way to restore from iCloud library?

  The photo library of the system is damaged and cannot be repaired.

  It is said "Photos has attempted to repair the library"Pictures Library 2015 ", but can not open it." .

  
  

  I first met problems with this library a week before and at the time where I could repair and open the library successfully, but lacked a month value of photos.

  Given that it was successfully in the iCloud library, I left it to re - sync - but this process suspended several times before the end, and the photo library of the system now seems to be permanently damaged.

  I have no project of marked or impression of faces in the photo library of the system, then I would be happy just to restore from iCloud.

  My plan is to put in place a new - empty - library and then that designate the library of the system.

  If I understand this right, the new (empty) system Photo library will now resynchronize with iCloud and will copy all the contents of this library of back to my Mac.

  Is this correct? It is the most effective way to restore my library?

  And while I'm here - what is the best way to manage a very large library? I had my photo library become corrupted ten three or four times over the past years and have found it necessary to divide into single years to prevent this. I overlooked this piece of household by the end of 2015, and now it's happened again... Surely, there must be an easier way to manage libraries of images of several years?

  Is this correct? It is the most effective way to restore my library?

  Yes, if you don't have a useful upward on your Mac.

  How do you call a large library, I've never had a corrupt Library, I think that your problems are not the result of the size of the library, but rather something else. From my experience it is recommended to maintain a local upward, I use Time machine, but also have a second to the top using a third-party backup solution.

• Cannot restore photo library

  A few weeks ago, my 2010 Macbook Pro began to reboot itself every hour approximately. I ended by wiping and restore with my Time Machine on my Time Capsule backup if the problem was still there.

  My second option was to back up all my files to another disk, then restore again, with a clean slate with my important files. However, when I imported my 80 GB library of Photos (Photos Library.photoslibrary file), it is said there are only 358 photos, not the 20,000 or that I know that I have. I did this once before where all I have to do is select the photo library file in the app Photos and Walla! I have all my photos. It did not work this time.

  I tried to restore it with the Time Machine backup again if she has the same problem (only shows 358 images). Currently, I'm sitting with a new installation of El Capitan and a 80 GB Photo file. What can I do to fix this?

  Already tried:

  -Repair of the photo library

  -Reboot Macbook

  -New installation of El Capitan

  -Using an older photo library file saved in my Time Capsule

  -Upgrade to Mac OS Sierra because why not try when you're desperate?

  Any ideas/solution would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading this. My photo library dates back to 1997, so anything will help.

  My second option was to back up all my files to another drive, and then restore again,

  How the DHM has been formatted and connected to your Mac.  It must be formatted as shown in this screenshot and connected by cable:

  

  One thing you can do is to open the restored library package

  

  and look in the folder of masters to see if your original files are there or you have the 358 Photos or if you have all of them.  Do not make changes, just watch and get an idea whether they are there or not.

  

• How can I make iOS rescan my photo library, searching for old memories?

  When I used iOS 10 beta publice photos do a scan on my photo library in the background. Then I went back to iOS 9.3.2 after that I installed iOS 10 once the same memories where it so I deleted them in DSB to make the photo scan my photo library app once, but since no other analysis was conducted by the application (except the new added pictures). So, what can I do? My memories are lost forever?

  Probably before you started playing with the beta version before you did these multiple deletes and installs, you checked all your photos on your computer, but also backed up all important data?

  If you were using iCloud, when you deleted the photos on the device, you also erased them in iCloud. No photo of iCloud offer service offline archiving permanent photos. If you delete a photo (or any data icloud synchronized) on the device, remove yourself from iCloud.

  As long as backup you and archive your photos elsewhere, you can restore them comes from there.

• How to separate the Raw files of the photo library

  My photo library is over 700 GB. I have a lot of raw files that are 30 MB or more. How can we separate the raw files in a separate file or a separate library?

  Duplicate your photos library in the Finder and then remove all the BULLIES of the first library photos and all photos that are not the RAW files of the second library.

  You can search for RAW photos with a smart album:

  File > new Smart Album

  Then set the rule set to "picture is GROSS."

  Of the other library use the rule 'The Photo is not BELIEVED'.
