iPhoto vs Photos import gaps

• iPhoto/photos in iphoto, but not imported from the HDD to the library

  Hello

  I chose and took some pictures of files in an external hard drive and copied manually in iphoto. It seems that the pictures were not actually copied to the iphoto library. If I locate the disk we see on my hard drive. That's why when I eject the disk, they are impossible to open.

  I don't want to go back on my hard drive and copy each individually, it should always be. I tried to use the double function but it duplicates only hard disk, once AGAIN.

  Then I selected all the photos in question and used the import function. It leaves me only to import the entire folder of the external drive that cancels obviously efforts of choosing.

  Is there an easy way to transfer selected photos (which show when my hard disk is connected and vanish once is not) in my library - permanently

  Thank you

  Are you running a Managed or referenced library?

  A managed, library is the default setting, and iPhoto copies the files in the iPhoto library during import. The files are then stored in the library package

  A referenced library is where iPhoto does NOT copy the files in the iPhoto library when importing because you have made a change to iPhoto-> preferences-> advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files in the library to import) The files are then stored wherever you put them and not in the library package. In this scenario, you are responsible for the management of files.

• iPhoto will not import pictures from iPhone 5 c after updating iOS 10

  Hi all

  After installing iOS on my 5 c 10, iPhoto will not import the photos. It is said that it can not because my iPhone is locked with a password. He does this even when the phone is open, and even though I have my access code is turned off. I use 10.6.8 on a Mac Pro Tour 2006.

  Everyone knows about this problem? Can anyone help? Thank you!

  Hi Mark,

  I guess it's a problem of compatibility between the leopard to snow & iOS 10 but, as a Test:

  Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. In the menu that appears, select 'Create Library'

  Import pictures into this empty library. The problem is repeated here?

• Understand migrations from iPhoto to Photos

  After you migrate an iPhoto for photo library, the file extension of the iPhoto Library is changed in .migratedphotolibrary, and my understanding is that the two libraries share the same files through the use of "hard links". I've also read that if one of the libraries is published subsequently, what causes the link between versions of break. Is this true?

  If so, my questions are:

  (1) If hard links break, this means that storage on hard drive required by the two libraries is increased by the size of one of the libraries? If so, who would not take a little time if the booksellers were important, for example 100 GB or more?

  (2) immediately after the migration, what happens if one of the libraries I move to a different folder? Again break hard links? If so, same question as above.

  No - change or deletion of a form of photos a library does not break the hard link and has no effect on the other library - they are totally independent

  1 - Yes

  2. Yes, I believe that to break hard links - travel for sure as a library to another volume break

  Why move a? Usually simply leave you it where it is for several months until you are sure that you need is no longer and then archive and delete

• Migration assistant will consolidate iPhoto and photo libraries

  I just bought an iMac "towards the end of 2015" to replace my iMac 2011. I'm a Mac (MacBook Pro and iMac) user since 2005 and I am aware of the installation of the Migration Wizard when you first install a new Mac. However, for some reason, I have an iphotos library and a library of photos. Can anyone tell if migration assistant will consolidate in a single library or I have to do (manually?) before migration?

  Two follow-up questions (if you're still reading this...)

  iMovie is now only opens on my iMac 2011 (part of the reason why I bought a new iMac). There are projects that must still be finalized that it contains. Speculation as to whether the data migration is likely to result in my getting access to these existing projects? Worst case scenario would be that everything that is corrupt iMovie on my current iMac is transferred to the new machine. My guess is that what stop imovie to open 2011 on the iMac is not related to the data that make up the project, so that when I migrate to the new machine, I go back to my projects. Can anyone confirm this?

  Last question (base); What are the recommendations for what should be my time machine drive? I currently have 1 Tb internal, more an external of 2 to 3 TB of disk. With the new machine equipped with connectivity Thunderbolt that I will be in the market for a new external hard drive. because the new machine has 2 TB drive internal pot and am looking to get a disc hard thunderbolt of 3 - 4Tb, should I still 5-6 to time machine as backup (assuming I get nearby using all available space my on my internal and external drive)?

  Much appreciated for your advice.

  No, it won't merge.

  Using both programs such as libraries have different content that needs merging? When Photos import iPhoto library, it creates hard links to files, not copy, so they do not all the disk space.

  I can't respond to the #2.

  Your our backup drive should be two to three times the amount of data to back up.

• I just upgraded to El Capitan, which automatically "upgraded" iPhoto in Photos.  When I opened the Photos, my thumb nails is blurred with the exception of those that have been published in iPhoto.  This never happened in iPhoto.  How can I fix?

  I just upgraded to El Capitan, which automatically "upgraded" iPhoto in Photos.  Now when I open the pictures, my thumb nails is blurred with the exception of those that have been previously published in iPhotos.  When you click on a fuzzy thumbnail to select it, the picture is very good. The photos were initially imported into iPhoto via the camera memory card to JPEG.  Is there a way to fix this?  I take lots of photos for a local spca and this will really slow me down in the decision-making process on the pictures to use.  I'm not a very tech savvy person any help with this is greatly appreciated!

  If you pick a few and twist and turn then back it is this resolved? -If this is the case you can do in large groups for the problem photos

• Use iPhoto or Photos for books?

  Hello. I have more than a dozen iPhoto libraries, one for each year. What I do is make albums and then the books for my trips or a book each year. I'm back doing the books. Now with the Photos app (and faster, etc.), I wonder if I should migrate my iPhoto library Photos and allows to make albums and photo books? Is there any advantage in doing that? It would mean that I'll end up with several libraries of Photos, because it cannot allow me to combine several iPhoto Library in pictures.

  I thought I would like a link libraries, instead of importing thousands of same photos in the new libraries of Photos. So the main question is whether or not there is an advantage in the migration of all my libraries of iPhoto in the libraries of Photos, or simply stick with iPhoto and make my books there. Thank you.

  You can no longer print books in iPhoto in any case, because Apple has stopped the iPhoto book printing service.  If you want that your books printed by Apple, the new Photos.app as the only option now.  Photos Presto can print your iPhoto books, if export you it to a PDF file.

  If you open an iPhoto photo library, the library migrated will not need a lot of extra storage, see this document: Photos saves disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture - Apple Support libraries

  Long term, it will be best to take Photos for Mac, because iPhoto will be less intense.

  A few options: If you also have the opening, you can easily merge all iPhoto libraries into one before migrating to Photos.

  The app PowerPhotos makes it easy to manage several libraries of Photos, or merge)

• I've recently migrated my iPhotos to Photos, perfectly worked for a few weeks, but suddenly today, I can't open my photos in pictures

  I recently migrated from iPhoto to Photos worked perfectly and I used it for a few weeks, but today I can open my pictures suddenly not in pictures. What's wrong?

  No idea since we can't see you - you must provide details - why you can't open pictures? What is going on? What is you get the exact error message? What version of the operating system and Photos you have?

  and there's a photo for Mac forum, which is where you can ask questions Photos - I will ask to be moved your message

• Migrating from iPhoto to Photos

  I just upgraded to El Capitan and want to start using the Photos, I have followed the procedures to migrate my old iPhoto library Photos with my library of Photos appointed to reside on another internal hard drive.  I tried several times, but shortly after the migration has started I got the message that there insufficient space disc - 10 GIG necessary.  The drive I'm migration towards had 240 available concerts.  I tried to reformat the drive and emptied of all other files so that its complete 250 concerts are available, but the process still hangs on to 8% with the same message - not enough disk space.  Can someone give me an idea as to what is the problem?

  What is the format of the second internal drive where the library s iPhoto stored? How many free space your main internal drive there? What is your iPhoto library

  And since there is no single move procedure and what you are doing is not working, it would be useful for you to actually share the procedure that you use

• iPhoto or Photos?

  Which one should I use? I have both on my computer. I use OS X El Capitan 10.11.3

  Some of my photos (in each program) I can't edit. I click on edit and all the editing options are grayed out.

  

  I have also a large NUMBER of photos that are not displayed. They are a white box with nothing in it.

  

  Any idea what's going on? Where are my photos and what program should I be using? Does this mean photos are doubles and too much room in iPhoto and Photos?

  A question at the same time help

  1 you use is totally personal - support iPhoto has been interrupted for more than a year and one day he will stop working - for those who have only update every five years that is not a problem - if you install each update, it is - and Photos have more features than iPhoto and a stream of completely different work - so you fist need to make this decision

  2 - once you take a decision on the software you want to use, then you will need to provide clear symptoms and doubts, including the version and exact context

  4. with regard to space - not - when you are migrating from iPhoto to Photos both libraries use hard towards the same original photos links and previews same so little extra space is used - Photos saves disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture - Apple Support libraries

  5 - and you're three updates behind - your first step should be updated to OS X 10.11.6, the current version of the operating system - which might or might not help things but is a good idea

• Can see, but can not access, photos of iPhotos migrate Photos for Mac

  Hello

  I transferred my my former (white) mac's iPhoto library to my new Macbook Air. I now see my iPhotos on Photos of Mac, but I'm unable to export or share (nothing happens if I click on these options), or even copy and paste. If I try to contact by e-mail or page that they do not appear on my photos via the Finder (but I can see more recent pictures no iPhotos initially). So basically I can see them, but can do something with them.

  Everyone knows about this problem?

  If this does not occur, my only thought as to what this may be the case is due to an error in the migration? I have now installed Library upgrade on my new Mac (I think I was already use when migrating on the old Mac but don't remember the details), but so that he can see my iPhotos library, it is grayed out, so I can't try and apply the upgrade to the library via new Mac. So I'm stuck again. (if it's the solution, I'm not sure it's..)

  Does anyone have any ideas what is the problem and how to fix? Where is possible it's just a failure of Apple/iphotos old photos have no Photos for Mac features?

  Thank you!!

  It certainly has the feature.

  Have you tried to repair the library: back to the top and then press the command and option (or alt) keys all by launching Photos. The dialog that allows you to rebuild.

• Upgrade since iPhoto empty Photo Albums

  In iPhoto, I had all my pictures organized in Albums. When Apple moved my photos from iPhoto to Photos, it drained all my albums. Is it possible for me to make my album content without having to manually go through all the photos of 15,000?

  How did you migrate your iPhoto photo library?

  You albums should be accessible from the sidebar.  If the sidebar is not open, use the key combination Command-Option + s to open it.

• Transfer the photo library in iPhoto to Photos

  I have just passed my iPhoto library photos on El Capitan (10.11.3) on my new iMac and have lost some pictures, some were 3 years old from the originals and thus lost location information, faces and events.

  Would this be normal?  Can I retrieve the original info. ? or do I have to revisit each of my photos almost 5000 and identify the faces and places all over again?

  NO.

  It's the photo library is exactly the same as the iPhoto with converted albums - events library see How Photos handles content and metadata for iPhoto and Aperture - Apple Support

  You have iPhoto 9.6.1? If not see if you can get it - can not update iPhoto because it is not available in the App Store
