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.

  • Although I disabled the photo library and deleted the photos on my iPad 2, photos app resumes still 1.3 GB. What's wrong? I need this space.

    Check if you have some deleted photos left by a bug that prevented some deleted items of aging out:

    1. go in settings > general > Date & time, turn off automatically game and change the date to 9/1/3013

    2. go to the Photos App and see if you see a folder deleted recently - if so, click on it to see if there are pictures here and if so, select all and delete them permanently

    3. go to settings > general > Date & time, put the value automatically come back on

  • Photos referenced in the photo library are in the iPhoto library

    I have 26 pictures in my library of Photos that are referenced photos. I want to collect my library of Photos. However, when I try to do it says Photos that I need to allow it for the folder that contains these 26 photos. Unfortunately, this folder is inside my old library iPhotos, which is a package and therefore cannot be accessed via the dialog window Photos gives me.

    I tried to find 26 photos manually via the Finder via "Show package content", but I can't find them. A Spotlight search did not help either.

    Does anyone know how add these 26 photos referenced in my photo library.

    The strange thing is all the other photos (over 7,000) migrated my iPhotos library my library of Photos with no problems.

    I have 26 pictures in my library of Photos that are referenced photos. I want to collect my library of Photos.

    Have you tried to select the photos referenced in Photos and then use the command "file > consolidate?  To copy the original image files referenced in the photo library and making photos managed them.

    What happens when you try?  I see that sign.

  • Photos will not open the iPhoto library.

    Hello world.

    I try to open an existing iPhoto library that I register before I migrated to this new Mac Pro desktop, but the new Photos app it will not open. It gives me an error message and then I see a blank screen of Photos.

    How can I convert this iPhotos Photos library and why is - it doesn't happen automatically?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    It gives me an error message and then I see a blank screen of Photos.

    What is the error message?  And where is your old iPhoto Library stored?

    If you try to open the library on an external drive, make sure that the drive is compatible.  The player must be in Mac OS extended (journaled) format and should not be used by Time Machine.

  • Problems with file photo library and music/photo.

    Original title: Photo Gallery

    I have two questions. I have somehow copied mistakeningly my picture folder in my music folder. So I had two large image (18 GB) folders. I thought they were two separate files, so I deleted the one in the photo folder and it delete the two files. I had the backup on an external hard drive.

    So when I tried to open the photos in the Gallery of photos from the disk external hard he told me that I needed to update my photo gallery and I do not know how and why he wants me to do.

    I always have a file in my folder of music called images and when I try to open my photos (the little I have left) it goes into the music file to pick them up.

    I can seem confusing. Hope you can help me.

    Thank you

    Hello

    1. What is the exact message that you receive when you try to open the photos in the photo gallery?

    2 are you referring to the default music library in the library folder?

    To update the Photo Gallery, follow these steps:

    a. launch of Windows Photo Gallery.

    b. in the few minutes library loading completely to the top, you will see a small notification pop window - up in the lower right corner of the window.

    c. If you see such a notice indicating that the updates are available for photo gallery, click on the link to download the updates.

    d. wait to open after clicking on the download of Internet Explorer link. The page that opens will include a download button and specific instructions on how to install the software.

    e. click Download and open the file when the download is complete.

    f. follow the on-screen guests and guidance from Microsoft site to install the updates.

    g. Photo Gallery to restart for the changes to take effect.

    You can move the image folder in the music folder, and then try to open the images.

  • Want to get an overview with the photo viewer and open with Photoshop

    Hello.  In all previous versions of Windows, I was able to do.  Right-click on an image and the 'Preview' option would open the image in the Windows Photo Viewer, and the option 'Open' it would open in Photoshop (or whatever the editor, I had chosen).  I just installed Windows 7 and I seem to be unable to get to do this.  If I select "Photo Viewer" as the default program for jpg files, I have TWO options 'Preview' in the right click menu.  Both will open it in Photo Viewer.  If I select Photoshop as the default program for jpg files, I get a 'Preview' and 'Open' option, but both open the image in Photoshop.

    How can I configure "Preview" with Photo Viewer, and 'open' with Photoshop?

    Thanks for the tips of registry.  I managed to find and fix the problem.  I tried to fix paint.net as the program open by default, and it has open in paint.net and presented in preview in Photo Viewer.  So I thought it was something to go astray with Photoshop.  Under HKEY_Classes_Root\Photoshop.JPEGFile.9\shell, there is a key-file for 'Preview '.  I deleted who, and now it opens in photoshop and previews in Photo Viewer.

    You can uninstall iCloud for Windows completely if you do not use one of its features. If you do, you should let its services run. See what is iCloud for Windows?-Apple Support for more info on what it does.
