• Photos and iPhoto Library - transfer both?

  Hello. I'm trying to transfer my library of Photos on an external hard drive to free up space on my Mac. I noticed there is a huge iPhoto library in both images and don't know what to do with it.

  I'm running OS X El Capitan 10.11.5 and was completely out of memory. I already reformatted a WD My Book, 3 t in the correct format and am currently uploading Photos.  My question is, I need to transfer the iPhoto library as well to keep the Photos work properly? I have read conflicting information. It seems that they may share data and deletion of iPhoto could damage the library?  iPhoto is GB 336, Photos is 447 GB.  I have space for both but prefer delete the iPhoto library rather than transfer if that's for sure. He said also, photo transfer will take 4 days and I do not want to make twice as much...

  Separately, I also have a small external hard drive, I moved a partitioned iPhoto library to several years ago. I used iphoto Library Manager software. I have pre 2010 photos out there and no where else other than a backup hard drive. Remove the iPhoto library on my computer effect my ability to use the one partitioned? I would like to merge all to a library of Photos now that I have the space.

  Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

  Yes and no

  There is no connection between the photo library and the iPhoto library - you can move or delete without effect on the other - don't know where your found contradictory information but there is no link between them

  However, if you move one and keep the other won't save you any space - you must move both to save space on your Mac - if you are sure you are finished with the library of th eiPHoto, then you can simple delete it, but it is advisable to keep a copy of archive of it to the case where

  And don't forget that the EHD must meet these requirements-must be in Mac OS extended (journaled) connected via a wired connection format fast as ThuderBolf, FireWire or USB, not used as a backup volume Time Machine and always available before pictures being launched

  And the copy of the library (if you have the good fast wired connection) will not take 4 days - the finder is an estimator of bad weather

  As for the separate iPhoto library again once there is no link between multiple iPhoto libraries - and there is no way to merge them after their migration into Photos (you can merge the iPhotoLibrary Manager iPhoto or Aperture libraries and you can add pictures to a photo library to another) you can migrate the second iPHoto library by dragging it to the Photos in the Dock icon - PowerPhotoscan merge the masters previews in another library and PowerPhotos can be continued to display the two libraries

• Synchronize the Photos and iPhoto?

  Photos arrived it imported all my photos in iPhoto. I have not really used pictures so far and now I realize that my library in pictures is a duplicate of my iPhoto library, except that they are not synchronized. My iPhoto library is updated, every photo I want is removed. This is not the case with Photos. Is there a way I can synchronize the two apps so that the pictures is exactly the same as iPhoto is now? Now iPhoto and Photos together use more than 100 GB of space, when in reality I have about half of it in photographs.

  If I can't sync, deleting photos in one application will not delete not them on the other, correct? In other words, I can delete all photos of Photos without deleting my photos in iPhoto, right?

  I have pictures 1.0.1 and iPhoto 9.6.1

  Thank you

  When you open the Photos first, the migration of the iPhoto library and photos of 2 libraries are hard linked to where they do not place additional, even though both show a large amount of data. However, from there, they are treated separately with respect to the addition or deletion of photos.

  You cannot synchronize the 2 applications. They are distinct and have nothing to do with one or the other.

  So, you might want to simply select the one you want to use and go from there. I guess that iPhoto is gradually thereafter. Photos will be more integrated into the system as well as for tasks such as sharing in emails, adding photos to apps like mail and so on.

  Yes, you can remove some or all of the photos in one application and does not affect the other.

• Sync photos and iPhoto

  I still stubbornly use iPhoto (I migrated to El Capitan pictures first came out but I hated it) but pictures of the race is always there and almost corresponds to iPhoto. However, I found the pictures almost 1000 pictures less. Is it possible to synchronize them just in case I have to go to Photos a day?

  Thank you

  Pictures takes your iPhoto library and it migrates into your photo library. Two of them use the same photos and are pointing to the same files on the disk at that time here.

  Now, if you add for example photos in iPhoto, Photos.app will not see, that's why the pictures less. All that done in iPhoto, after the migration will not appear in the Photos. There is no way to keep the two applications and libraries is synchronized.

  You can however remove the photo library and use the iPhoto library to migrate again iPhoto to Photos. Then, this includes all the changes caused to the iPhoto library in the meantime and migrates them to Photos. BUT, if you have made changes with Photos (eg. added a few photos to Photos app instead of iPhoto) these things will be lost.

  To ensure the safety of your photos, I generally recommend to make a backup before deleting libraries etc.

• Hi, I lost Photos and iPhoto even after an upgrade

  Hi, I lost Photos and even iPhoto. I updated by mistake to El Capitan. Ran too slow on the MacBook Air. Maverick RELOADED OSX10.9.5. There is no Photos app anywhere. Photos are stored offline. Help

  If your Mac is running 10.9.5 as you say, then it will not be the Photos app. You must run El Capitan to have.

• photos of iCloud in Photos and camera app

  Since coming to iOS X and Sierra when the photos are downloaded from Photos on the cloud, they appear on my phone in pictures as well as my photo app. If I delete my photo app, they disappear from the Photos app as well. I had never planned on camera as being a place of storage for all my photos. One is enough. Any help solving this would be appreciated

  Turn off sync iCloud in the camera app.

• Photos and iPhoto are no longer accesses external drive

  The upgrade of the Mavericks to El Capitan went very well on my Mac (i5, 27 ", 16G of RAM).  I've been running for several days, and so far the only problem I encountered is my iPhoto inherited library.  The error returned is "unable to write in the"iPhoto Library (rebuilt)"Library check that you are allowed to write to the directory of the library."

  The library is stored on a GTech, 2 TB with Firewire 800 drive.  The format is Mac OS extended and my own privileges are read/write.  I also tried to create new libraries on the disk with two apps, but the error "check permissions" is returned.

  The same drive is also used at home from my iTunes library, and is not a problem.  A second identical disk is used for the backup.  There is no problem with the drive itself.

  I have read several other posts and also downloaded iPhoto Manager.  It can read in the library and I have no indication of the library is actually corrupted (again; I rebuilt in 2013).

  Any help would be appreciated.  I can recover photos, but I don't want to store them on the local disk of 1 TB.

  Thank you.

• 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 :-).

  Gadi.

  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?

• Tbird email phone synchronization using IMAP and Mail app?

  Hello

  Looks like I can do this verification but required double. I stopped using the e-mail a little backwards and use Tbird now.
  But I'd like to be able to check your e-mail from my phone on a non-gmail address non-yahoo email. It uses one
  separate domain name.

  Can I use the mail on an iPhone app and set up the Tbird on my computer as an IMAP instead of POP account
  and basically to synchronize two e-mail clients to check the same e-mail address?

  I saw the IMAP and sync in the knowledge base article, which I shall call. I just want to know if
  It's how people check e-mail on their phone.

  I'll reiterate, I don't want to use gmail or yahoo. I have a gmail account and I don't like the
  interface enough also check that particular email using gmail account.

  Thank you
  Jane

  I think you should remove your POP account first and then create a new IMAP.

  It is the opposite.
  http://KB.mozillazine.org/Convert_a_POP_account_to_a_IMAP_account

  In your opinion, is the best way to verify the account, even on an iPhone?

  That's the whole point, to use the IMAP protocol on the phone as well.

  I keep seeing references to add-ons, but I can't find what I'm looking for.

  Do not know what makes reference to tell you and you want to install an add-on in the first place. I got the iPhone expect IMAP support out of the box. Is Thunderbird.

• deleted photos, always playing on live tiles for photo and camera app

  HY, I recently bought a laptop vaio which is preloaded with windows 8 since I am new to windows 8, I'm having a problem with live tile of camera and photo app. I clicked on a few photos of the camera of my laptop and when I removed them from the photo app they were always playing on the live tile of the application but when I open the application there is no picture at all...  I met the same problem even with my windows phone(lumia_525).can someone help me why this is happening as I'm afraid if it's a bug or other type of problem.

  It just need time, the tile updates only on a set timer (to save battery power and performance).

  I think that you can force it to update by going to the start screen, striking to swipe from right (or pointing to the right), then by going to settings > tiles > erase personal information.

• deleted icloud photos

  I have photos on my iPad and the different on my mac; I didn't use the longer cloud for photos, then deleted all the pictures on the cloud.  I didn't know that after only 30 days all the photos of my two devices will be deleted.  How can I keep the photos on my mac and iPad are deleted when the 30 days is up on the cloud?

  On your Mac go to the Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud > Photos Options and disable the iCloud photo library.

  On your iPhone go to settings > iCloud > Photos and disable the iCloud photo library.

  If you optimize Photos in both of the above (settings > iCloud > photo screen on your iPhone or in Photos on your Mac preferences) you will first need to download the originals.

• iCloud music library does not work on my new iPhone

  Hello

  iCloud music library has worked between my Mac, iPhone 6 and iPad Pro. However, it does not work on my new iPhone 7.

  When I try turn it off and on again, I do not get the merge or replace guest library that every site seems to say that I see.

Occasionally (maybe 5 times), several full minutes after activating the iCloud music library, I get the error "iCloud music library can be activated. I tried using different wifi, using LTE networks and to connect it to my Mac. I tried to reboot the device when enabling/disabling iCloud music library. I also tried to use file > library > update to iCloud music library iTunes. I've been at this for about 4 hours now and am about to start rider on my hair. Any help is appreciated.

How can I safely remove them without losing the original photos? I have disabled iCloud photo library now but to delete all photos, the phone is off.

Because you have disabled iCloud photo library on the phone, you can safely remove the pictures on it without affecting anything else.
