• iPhoto Photos upgrade crashes 50% full

  I'm trying to upgrade my library iPhotos (80 GB) Photos and the process seems to stop at about 50%.  He has been at 50% for 5 hours now.  Is this normal and should I wait or something has gone wrong with the upgrade process?

  I would let it run all night - it may be blocked, or it may just be slow - to give him enough time

• How can I keep an iPhoto library, update on two Macs without copying the entire library every time?

  Sorry if this has been asked several times before, I looked but could not find an answer to my specific questions...

  Currently, I keep my iPhoto on two different Macs library by periodically copy the package to the main computer entire iPhoto library to an external hard drive, then loading into iPhoto on the second machine.

  The problem is that it takes a lot of time and I find myself doing less, which means that I am often without recent photos I want to join the second Mac. Is there a way to copy only the new pictures/videos added since the last copy was made on the hard drive, which I can then add to the library on the second machine without replacing the entire library?

  I was wondering if it was possible to use the software of incremental backup to backup on the external drive that I could then use to update the second mac. In this case would be that I have to replace the entire library on the second mac every time, but at least it would be a faster process that also copy entire library since the first mac in the first place.

  Or I can just select the most recent photos and videos in iPhoto and batch export via the external hard drive to the second mac? I think I read that this is not copy all information such as good changes? Or am I wrong?

  If none of this is possible in the way that I'm demanding, could someone suggest an alternative photo storage software for Mac that I can have more control on?

  Yes, you can use an incremental backup or clone (like Carbon Copy clone or SuperDuper) program for updating the second library - this will not libraries merge in order to not do that is you make changes to the second library on this machine - it only makes library 2 exactly as 1 library each time that you run

• The contents of the iPhoto library "copy of iPhoto library" has already been migrated to Photos.  Open the Photos to display your library or use a compatible version of iPhoto to open the iPhoto library. How can I fix?

  The contents of the iPhoto library "copy of iPhoto library" has already been migrated to Photos.  Open the Photos to display your library or use a compatible version of iPhoto to open the iPhoto library.

  What you trying to do?

  You want to open your iPhoto library in iPhoto or the new Photos.app?  and what version of Mac OS X and iPhoto you have installed on your Mac?

  If you have improved your Mac to Mac OS X 10.11,2, El Capitan, you can open your photo libraries or in News Photos for application mac or you can continue to use iPhoto, but only iPhoto 9.6.1 will work on El Capitan.

  IPhoto update (see user tip of Barney: cannot be updated iPhoto because it is not available in the App Store)

  Once an iPhoto Library was opened in Photos the extension will change to ".migratedphotolibrary".  To open this library in iPhoto again, change the extension of filename in '.photolibrary '.

• Moving iPhoto/photo library

  Hello

  I'm moving my iPhoto and photo library to an external hard drive to save space on my MacBook Pro SSD. Once I located in my home folder, then the folder images, both iPhoto and photo libraries are there, and they say they have a capacity of approximately 200 GB each, so about 400 GB in total. When I moved the iPhoto on the external drive library (holding slipped and fell on the command key, so do NOT copy), he moved the so-called 200 GB in just about 15 minutes and when I checked my storage "about this mac" I won only about 6 GB. I have to move all the other files or through any other process to actually moved the library? I tried restart and have begun in iPhoto with the menu to choose the library and it still works fine and it is said that the entire library is on the external hard drive, but the ability is not sensible for me. Thanks for your time.

  they say they have a capacity of approximately 200 GB each, both on 400 GB total

  This is not correct.  The two libraries share the same data on the HDD through hard links initially so that they only take twice the amount of space on the hard disk. They can be copied/saved independently.

  New photos added to each library are independent of the other library.

  Here is more information about hard links:

  Photos saves disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture - Apple Support libraries

  The (hard) link between Photos and iPhoto

  In the future, do not use the move feature.  If there is a problem then its moving target file may be damaged and the source file will be removed leaving you without useable file.

  

• Upgrade Windows 10 stuck at 'Check updates'.

  Recently, I started the download for Windows 10 using 'media creation tool. When the Setup program is started, it got stuck on "check updates", it's over an hour now and it is still stuck at 0%. What am I supposed to do?

  

  There are actually two options in creating media tool:

  • Update this PC now: Automatic Download, Installation.You don't need to do anything. You try this option.
  • Create an installation media for PC:Download an Installation file. When downloaded and opened, you find a setup.exe to run the Inplace upgrade. Make sure you only download the installation media according to your system.

  Use method 2 from here and follow as said.

  Use the recommended options for this PC check that you use the ISO to improve the current system. Skip step 6.

  Then after the download is complete, you must run the Setup program to upgrade your system. This is the guide:

• .apalbum files in iPhoto/Photos

  I am running Yosemite 10.10.5 on a Mac mini (mid-2010). 2.66 Ghz Intel core 2 duo 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3.  Updated since the Mavericks in April 2016, now trying to "Restore" saved from the clouds Zip files (so I can wipe) and we found a lot of files .apalbum.  Although I know that these are files of the opening, I never had Aperture, only iPhoto (v9.6.1) & then Photos (v.1.0.1), with the upgrade to Yosemite.  My questions are the following: (1) are these .apalbum relevant/necessary files to my iPhoto & photo files?  (2) if so, how could they be opened without opening?  or (3) If no, why they are there and can I blow them before restoring my backups?

  Chances are that you do not have a usable backup - so far that no base backup is working on an iPhoto or a library of Photos - you have a local backup? Why do you need to restore a backup?

• Problem with Iphoto/Photos

  Hey there!

  I've updated my mac from the software for OS X Yosemite 10.10 10.6.8 and can't now open Iphoto or upgrading the application.

  Photos of the app has not been installed with the upgrade, what can I do to find/open all the pictures I had on my computer?

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  What version of Yosemite have you?   Photos for Mac will be installed with MacOS X 10.10.3 or later.  If missing pictures, look at the tab updates on the App Store and update at least MacOS X better 10.10.3, to 10.10.5 to get all Yosemite bug patches. Then, you will be able to use Photos for Mac.

  To be able to use iPhoto, update iPhoto 9.6.1. However, it will be possible, if you use iPhoto 9.x.x.

  9.6.1 iPhoto works well with Yosemite and El Capitan. See tip for user to Barney, if you did not yet Update 9.6.1 iPhoto: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-8431

• Vs iPhoto photos

  When Photos for Mac was introduced, it was installed on my Mac, but I still have iPhoto. How can I get rid of iPhoto and its library connected (so-called Photos has all my iPhoto library and more?)?

  How can I get rid of iPhoto and its library connected (so-called Photos has all my iPhoto library and more?)?

  There is no need to be in a hurry to get rid of iPhoto and the iPhoto library. The image to the iPhoto library files are stored in the same place as image files in your photo library, so both libraries together share storage, see this link: Photos saves disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture - Apple Support libraries

  You can take your time to check, if all the photos in your iPhoto Library migrated well library and if you need to copy captions or titles of your iPhoto Photos on events.

  Also your smart albums and books or calendars may not have been migrated completely, see this link: How Photos handles content and metadata for iPhoto and Aperture - Apple Support

  If you have iPhoto 9.6.1 you can always launch and compare libraries.

  When you are finished, make a backup of the iPhoto library and the iPhoto application and then simply delete them using the Finder. Then empty the trash.  He will not free storage however.

• How to transfer pictures from iPhoto photo app /icloud app

  my photos on an external hard drive in iPhoto app, when I switch to camera app, there is no way to sync my pictures with iTunes, what do I do now?

  I want to transfer pictures from iPhoto for photo app, I want to synchronize my phone with iTunes, I have 50 GB iCloud because I don't have enough space for the pictures on the mac pro book / that's the reason why I have external hard drive storage photos in iPhoto app / and finally, iPhoto app is not God to keep photos and synchronize with iTunes no more?

  And finally, iPhoto app is not God to keep photos and sync with iTunes, not more?

  You can use Photos to keep your library and you can use iTunes to sync the photos in your iPhoto library or a library of Photos on your iPhone.

  Only, you can not use iTunes to sync photos to your iPhone, if you use iCloud photo library on your iPhone.

  But what application now do you use on your Mac to store your library of photos - news pictures for Mac application or you use iPhoto?  It's not quite clear to me your question, because you MENTION both applications.

  iTunes can sync photos of two applications for your iPhone, as long as the iPhone is not synchronized with iCloud photo library.

• Blocked mail in "upgrade of the library" since 10.11.2 set at level

  Since the upgrade to 10.11.2 my mail app wanted to put the library updated, who took 7 hours time CPU. Now 100% on the progress bar, but still running.

  

  What should I do?

  The new version of Mail stores its database in a different format that the old, so the database must be converted before Mail can use it. Sometimes, the conversion fails because the old database is damaged. What you should do depends on what type of e-mail accounts you have.

  If you know that you have IMAP or Exchange only e-mail accounts

  The easy way to recover is to delete the old database and start over. You can do this without losing all the messages, provided that:

  ☞ All your incoming mail accounts are on an IMAP or Exchange Server

  ☞ You store messages sent on the server

  ☞ You have no mailboxes "on my Mac".

  Independent mail services the best-known as iCloud and Gmail are inspired by the IMAP. On the other hand, hosted by ISP e-mail services often use pop. If your ISP is one of your providers of mail services (or the only), you cannot use this procedure. See the section below in this case.

  If you know that the above conditions are met, please continue to do so.

  Quit Mail runs. Back up all data.

  Open the pane Internet accounts in system preferences. Make a note of the settings for each Exchange or IMAP account, then delete the account. Messages remain on the server. Open the preferences window.

  Open your home folder's library folder by pressing the option key and selection

  Go ▹ library

  in the Finder menu bar. Inside, it is a subfolder named "mail". Move this folder on the desktop. You do not move the e-mail application; you move a folder named "mail".

  In the Internet Accounts pane, re-create your email accounts other than iCloud with the same settings as before. To re-create an iCloud email account, open the iCloud preferences window and check that the Mail box.

  Launch of Mail. If all goes well, your mailboxes must be restored automatically. The messages will be downloaded from the servers, so it can take a long time if you have very large mailboxes. Some people have mailboxes in the gigabyte range, and which can be a problem if your bandwidth is measured.

  If the mailboxes are created successfully, you can delete the folder that you moved to the desktop. You may have to re-create your rules, signatures and custom stationery Mail. While it is very important for you not to have to do these things, ask for instructions before you delete the folder.

  If you have POP or "on my Mac" mailboxes, or if you don't know what you have

  This discussion is a good example of how to do to recover from the error. Details such as the names of the mailboxes will be different in your case, but the technique must be the same.

• stuck on configuring updates, help

  I upgraded my pc, it is stuck on configuring updates 1 of 3, 0%, which can do to restore it, I have no cd boot and you cannot get into safe mode, I am running vista, please help

  Hi Julie1212,

  I suggest to organize for a Windows Vista disc that is the same edition as it is installed on your computer, then try the steps in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.

  An update is not installed successfully when you try to install the update in Windows Vista and Windows 7

• Screen stuck during the update

  Believe the computer was turned off during the installation of the updates. It is now stuck at ' Configuring updates 1 3-0% complete. Regardless of what I do, I can't get out of this screen. The circular icon that shows the activity/progress moves in a clockwise direction all the while.

  I left it for hours with absolutely no progress. I turned the machine off & on and off & on in Safe Mode without success. The screen remains the same.

  Restore point:

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

• Could not find iPhoto/Photos to import into Lightroom

  Hi-

  I'm new to Lightroom. I downloaded the creative Amazon Cloud literally last night. When I click on the "Import" button, it evokes the access to the essentially all of the files on my computer with the exception of the pictures that have been uploaded to iPhoto/photos for October 2015. I tried all means to find a link to these photos, and it's as if they don't exist to Lightroom. Outside of Lightroom, I noticed now that when I look at 'Images' in my Finder window, there are all my old photos (before 10/2015) and a file called "iPhoto library" and a file called "photo library". None of these files can be opened from the finder. If the photo is opened, all the images are there.

  I feel like there is something corrupt going on behind the scenes that is bad orientation of my photos. Any advice would be much appreciated!

  -ALlison

  Right-click on the photo library, and then select "view the contents of the package. What happens will be many subfolders. One of them will be named Masters. There you will find all your images. But LR cannot access it from this file/folder of the package. You will need to copy or move the Masters folder to another location on your hard drive for LR to see.

• If I upload my photos to the iCloud library remain my original photos on my MacBook Pro?

  If I upload my photos to the iCloud library remain my original photos on my MacBook Pro?

  Yes, they do. See:iCloud photo library - Apple Support

  Note that if you open the Photos on your Mac and go to preferences and click on iCloud at the top of the preferences window, there are 2 options: 'Download the originals of this Mac' and 'Optimize Mac storage.' If you choose the option optimize and your Mac is low on storage space, then the originals can be replaced with smaller optimized versions.
