• Cannot transfer iPhoto Photo Library - unless the external is plugged.

  Hello

  Before I got my new Macbook Pro today, I copied my iPhoto library on my external hard drive. This library will be important and open the pictures, the new application, ONLY if the external hard drive is plugged - I even tried to copy the old library, iPhoto to my office and open Photos manually, but it will not be read. Is what it means I need to copy my iPhoto images one by one in the new application Photos?

  Thank you!

  I should add here that, once the hard drive is disconnected and I try to open the old library still in Photos, he search the hard drive and is unable to find it. It seems that I can't fix my iPhoto library original as my default photo library.

• 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

• MAC - impossible to find "Pictures folder" / Iphoto photo library and open the Iphoto Application at all

  Hi all

  I have Apple devices for a few years now, but I still find it difficult to understand the system. I want to put an end to that, so I finally registered.

  I try to look at the tutorials and read the forums, but I can't find concrete answers to my situation.

  First of all, in my application of Photos of my MacBook, I remove hundreds of photos and videos, then I go to recently deleted screen and I delete them all permanently.

  However my disk space is the same before under 'Storage' summary when I check "to about this Mac". I restarted the Mac and waited for days, the space does not release upward.

  Then I read in a forum and found the following answer:

  Your photos has not deleted because they still exist in iPhoto or Aperture, whatever you use. Photos saves disk space by creating links to the already existing files in iPhoto/Aperture, rather than duplicate. This means that if you want to delete a file, you must make sure that it has deleted all.

  If you can live without ever using iPhoto/Aperture once again, go to your Pictures folder and delete iPhoto Library and Aperture Library . In this way, the only copies of your photos will be those photos, and removing free space on your computer.

  
  

  The questions are the following:

  
  

  (1) after reading this, I decided to look it up in my pictures folder in the Finder to locate the iPhoto library, however it is not there on the left side, after reading the forums, I still cannot locate the iPhoto library anywhere.

  (2) in case I finally find my iPhoto library and delete it, are the images that I see now in the deleted Application Photos?

  (3) another curiosity, when I try to open IPHOTO, the following message appears:

  

  And then after trying the 'search App Store':

  

  I did not need to actually use my iPhoto or App Photos in particular, I do not yet fully understand the difference. I want to just my photos to be stored in ONE place and when I take hours to remove them permanently, get my rear space and do not learn, they still exist elsewhere (iPhoto library).

  Also please help me understand what am I supposed to do with the iPhoto application now that gives me these error messages.

  Thank you very much!

  (1) after reading this, I decided to look it up in my pictures folder in the Finder to locate the iPhoto library, however it is not there on the left side, after reading the forums, I still cannot locate the iPhoto library anywhere.

  The images folder must be manually added to the sidebar.

  Open the Finder preferences:

  • Click anywhere on the empty office to bring the Finder to the front, then go to the Finder menu in the main menu bar, open "Preferences".
    Click the tab of the sidebar and add all the items to the sidebar, you want to see.

  

  Now, open the images in the sidebar folder in the Finder.  Is your photo library in iPhoto there?

  Then drag it to an external drive to make a backup copy, then delete it and empty the trash.  Accidentally delete the photo library.

  (2) in case I finally find my iPhoto library and delete it, are the images that I see now in the deleted Application Photos?

  No, the photos in your library of Photos and the iPhoto library are separate files.  It was created by hard links.

  Hard links are new files, which use the same entry in the table. They store the contents in blocks of same on the disks, so the entries are not duplicated, but if you remove one of the linked files, the others will remain. The storage will be released, when the last linked file has been deleted.

• .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?

• 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.

• iPhotos, photos, iCloud?

  I just transferred my huge library of iPhoto (120GB) to Photos app on my iMac, which is not sync to iCloud, but they are all stored on a local hard drive.  I also have iPhone where I backup all of my Photos on iCloud (25 GB) - and can see all these when I go into the Photos on my Macbook Air, where I don't store any separate photos.

  My question is (and I tried Googling and forums search) - if I turn now on iCloud sync on my iMac, photos from the iMac Photos get uploaded to iCloud Photos?  Then the pictures in the iCloud for my phone download on my iMac and get them merged into the local library?  And what of my phone and macbook air?  Can see all the photos of my iMac on the macbook Air (not on the phone, I'm going to assume that this is a one-way synchronization to iCloud only?).

  I'm trying to find the best way to consolidate somewhere, all my pictures from my phone and my iMac...  Without all these transfer to my macbook air does not take valuable storage capacity.

  Thank you!! (And my apologies, I am a newbie in the forums, where my question is not worded correctly!)

  When you enable iCloud photo library on multiple devices, pictures of these separate devices will download to iCloud photo library to create a photo library unified in iCloud. And all the photos that you upload to iCloud photo library will be uploaded to all devices that use iCloud photo library.

  The library will be updated to be the same on all devices.  Do not enable iCloud library on where you don't want to have all your photos uploaded to devices.

  You could disable iCloud photo library on your MacBook Air, or use the "Optimize Mac Storage" option.  While the MacBook Air will only download small and optimized your photo versions and does not store the originals of complete sizes.

• What PHOTO library is the library of real photos that I use now

  What PHOTO library is the library of real photos that I use now.

  I'm in 1.3 PHOTOS

  In the finder, located in the PICTURES folder there are 3 library of as I will show here.

  

  I'm confused because of the dates that are associated to these. When iPHOTO became PHOTOS is iPHOTO Library.migratedphotolibrary who became now the PHOTO (ORIGINAL) LIBRARY. PHOTO LIBRARY

  OR the PHOTOS IS LIBRARY.photoslibrary the current collection of photos.

  each has a different file size and date:

  

  

  

  If someone can explain to me I would give thanks, that is the library that I use now, 1.3 PHOTOS

  Thank you

  jojoguitar_mn_usa

  Could be one of them - you decide - person other than you, who controls - hold down the option key while launching Photos and the use of the select Library window to test each - quit Photos while you what to use as a default is defined as pictures opens always the last library used when you start so it is available

  One you use is shown in the photo ==> of general preferences to the right of the location of the library

• Library share of photos stored on external hard drive

  I currently have a library that is much too large for my MacBook Pro. I use Aperture with a referenced library, stored on an external hard drive.

  I would like to be able to share our library on my MB Pro, my wife and our iPhones and iPad MacBook. When the pictures came out, I was informed that I couldn't use iCloud with a library referenced and sharing across different devices iOS and mac. (In fact, I would need only to share a part of the library on our computers and devices. Some must be on my MBP.

  Is this possible with pictures?

  Or anyone has any other suggestions how I can share the photos I have with my wife book Mac and iPhone?

  Thank you very much.

  None

  There is no way to share a library with Photos Aperture - there is no way to share a portion of a photo library (or iPhoto or Aperture) - library iCloud requires pictures and that's all or nothing - you can have several libraries with the photos you want to share in one and all the others in another

  as for ways to share Photos and opening - a third-party site like Flickr or export to DropBox and import from there

• 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 use iCloud photo library to share photos on my Mac, make the stay of the files full original size on my Mac or they stored in the cloud?

  If I use iCloud photo library to share photos on my Mac, make the stay of the files full original size on my Mac or they stored in the cloud?

  Thank you!

  The photos full size will always go to the cloud. They also remain on (or download) your Mac depends on if 'Download this Mac originals' or 'Optimize Mac storage' is ticked in Photos > Preferences > iCloud. If it is enabled, it also depends on how much storage is available on your Mac.

• 1.5 vs 9.6.1 iPhoto photos: features and capabilities

  1.5 vs 9.6.1 iPhoto photos: features and capabilities

  There is an excellent summary of the differences provided by Old_Toad for advice.

  There was no justification provided by Apple for all the functions that they took?  If there is, can you point me to what I would consider.  There are a number of these functions that I use on a regular basis.

  There was no justification provided by Apple.  Since the introduction of Photos Apple has added several features and will probably add more in the future if there is enough feedback.

  Then tell Apple what missing features you want restored or new features added in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html.

  There are a number of workarounds available in the Photos for Mac user tips section for various features that were left out.

  

• Perfomance with large library (85 000 photos)

  I've successfully migrated in pictures a large Aperture library (85 000 + photos, 700 GB). The library currently resides on an external drive USB 3.0 on my iMac with 8 GB of RAM at the end of 2013.

  Once the library is open performance is good considering the size, however, opening of the library takes about 55 seconds. Most of the time, the main window of Photos found empty white with a top in progress in the Middle, and you can hear the external hard drive being played continuously.

  Two questions:

  1. those of you with similar-sized libraries, is this similar to your performance?

  2. any way to optimize launch time? Maybe move the library on a thunderbolt drive?

  Mike

  PS beautiful migration has all of my video thumbnails corrupt (which appeared at the opening after a restoration of the Aperture by Time Machine library months ago) have been put in pictures, always corrupted at first, but over time (perhaps an hour) have been solved automatically.

  If you can hear the rotation of an external hard drive, it is not an SSD without doubt and could be the reason for your slow performance.

  On the recommendation of an Apple specialist, I moved my library (26000 photos) on an external SSD drive last month, and despite having an older iMac are not USB 3 performance is not that much different from having it on the internal drive - about 7-8 seconds to open pictures.

  The only change that I noticed, and it's always interested me is that when I export files on the desktop, Finder does not see these minutes (so that Spotlight concludes that they are immediately). Maybe nothing to do with the player.

• 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.
