• How to migrate pictures from iPhoto Library on external drive to the Photos?

  I deleted my computer today and try to import photos from a backup Time Machine, in Photos. I find the iPhoto library and clicked on "View the contents of the package" to reveal a bunch of files. I'm currently moving the entire iPhoto library on my desk, but it's more than 100 GB in size, so I was wondering if there is a more direct method? (All photos are stored in the folder 'Masters'? Could import from there?)

  Please if someone could help me with this I would be very happy! Sorry for the ambiguity in my formulation of the question and happy New Year! Thank you in advance.

  To migrate the iPhoto Library from a backup Time Machine pictures use Time Machine to restore the iPhoto library to a folder on your Mac. Then drag the library restored on the Photos icon in the Dock to open the iPhoto library. Photos will create a library of Photos transferred from the iPhoto library with all your changes, titles, captions, keywords, assigned albums. If you try to import the folder of masters you will only import the photos, but lose the structure of the library and all your work that you did in iPhoto.

• understand the flow of photos from iPhoto library photos vs vs

  I just transfer a bunch of photos from an external hard drive in my iPhoto library.  I created several new Albums right here.  The problem is that my photos are not displayed when I click on the Photos icon on my menu bar.  Also new albums and photos will appear not on my iPad via the photo stream.  I don't understand how the 3things: I picture library, photos, photo stream, work-sharing app.  How to do all of my albums (and the photos in these albums) duplicate in all (or appear to) all my devices?

  Migrating from iPhoto to a Photos library library affects only the photos in the iPhoto library in time. Photos and albums added to the iPhoto library after that will be in the iPhoto library unless you also import the photos into your photo library and set and fill albums.

  Albums are not spread through my photo stream, only by iCloud photo library.

  The new model is of approximately:

  * Use only the Photos app and the library of Photos on your Mac (s). After the initial migration, ignore iPhoto and its library.

  * Use iCloud photo library as the repository ignoring my photo stream unless you have devices that don't support icloud photo library (for most older iPods). You may need to increase your storage plan iCloud to organize all your photos and videos.

  * Use the Photos app on your iPhone (s) and iPad (s) with iCloud as library active. Again, my photo stream is necessary only if you have devices that don't support icloud photo library. You can use the option "optimize storage' to save the storage space on your iPhone (s) and iPad (s).

• Move photos on external hard drive after migrating from iPhoto to Photos

  I have a lot of photos and have you run out of space on my MacBook.  After doing some reading, I discovered that I should be bale to move my library to an external hard drive, then the point of Photos to run from the external hard drive.

  I have recently updated to El Capitan, and as part of this upgrade that my photos have been migrated from iPhoto to the Photos.  I just checked the current location of my library and I found two.  One is named Photo library and which resembles the pictures one use which makes sense.  However, I also have a file called iPhoto library and it is listed as a library migrated under file type.

  My question is, when I copy my pictures on the external hard drive also I copy the migrated thus iPhoto library?

  My question is, when I copy my pictures on the external hard drive also I copy the migrated thus iPhoto library?

  Yes, if you want to free up your internal disk storage moving two libraries of the iPhoto library you have migrated your external drive and the new library of Photos.

  The two libraries share the storage for the original images and previews.  As long as one of the libraries is always on the internal disk and using storage, storage is not released: see: Photos saves disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture - Apple Support libraries

  Drag the two libraries to your external drive, then double click the pictures library to open it in photos and test it. Once you are convinced that the copied library works well, you can delete the original in the internal drive.  Do the same for the copied iPhoto Library if you have installed iPhoto.

• 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

• Migrating from iPhoto

  I have a late 2008 15-inch MacBook Pro (5.1) with 8 GB RAM on OS 10.11.6 Kingston SATA SSD 480 GB disk without any problem, except that I can't get the Photos app to import my iPhoto (version 9.6.1). library  The process starts off pretty easily, but it stalls repeatedly when it is finished by about 30%.  The library is GB 112.5.  The SSD has 46,85 GB of free space.

  Any suggestions?

  Thanks in advance.

  The library is GB 112.5.  The SSD has 46,85 GB of free space.

  Maybe that's the problem. While the Photos is the upgrade of the iPhoto library it will take plenty of work, even if the Photos are going to try to save the storage by using hard links to the image files in your iPhoto library.

  I will try to make the migration to an external drive.  Copy your iPhoto library to an external drive, Mac OS extended (journaled) format.  Then run the iPhoto Library first aid tools on the copy of the iPhoto library.  There may be a corruption which prevents migration. See post of the old Toad on the reconstruction of the library: Re: iPhoto crashed on a number of occasions, but 2 times also appears to remove several events, including one I'm editing. When I go to re-import the last event, it shows them as already here. But I can't find them.

  The copy of the reconstruction of the iPhoto library drag Photos icon in the Dock, then let the pics to update the library.  It works now?

• Can I delete this file from iPhoto library?

  I'm going through old files and found a library iPhoto 44.7 MB file and it is listed as a photo library migrated under kind in the Finder. I don't know what it is. Can I delete it?

  Thank you!

  It may be the iPhoto library you were using when you all first positioned on the Photos which have moved from the iPhoto library, then renamed the original as you can see.

• Comments on missing photos after photo import from iphoto library

  I use iphoto extensively for my company and I recently updated my OS to El Capitan and discovered that it didn't work anymore.  There was a note which directed me to download the latest version of the app store and when I did it it says there is no download available.

  So I tried to go to the pictures.  I started the pictures and it prompted me to import my iphoto library, which is about 70 gigabytes.  Import ran for a long time and all images now appear in the Photos, but there is a problem.

  Before the upgrade, when I downloaded photos in iPhoto, they went to a group and have been dated from and prepared accordingly. But I would add notes and/or descriptions so that when I entered a search for specific photos, they came to the top and I didn't need dates. Apparently, when photos have been imported into the new program, they are listed by date and descriptions are gone. Do you know if they're hiding, or if we can find them? Otherwise I have no idea where the first photos are and I have to visually through the 22 000 photos.

  If not, is there a way to return to iphoto for El Capitan?

  There was a note which directed me to download the latest version of the app store and when I did it it says there is no download available.

  Apple sells iPhoto, is more then the tab update of the AppStore works is no longer.  You can update only by reinstalling, see user tip Barney:   cannot be updated iPhoto because it is not available in the App Store)

  Apparently, when photos have been imported into the new program, they are listed by date and descriptions are gone.

  Are the descriptions of the events?  If you open the sidebar with the albums, (enter the ⌥⌘S - command-option-S key combination), you will see a folder iPhoto events.  It will be an album for each of your events.

  See also: How Photos handles content and metadata for iPhoto and Aperture - Apple Support

  If you enter titles and captions for each photo, you will see them in the Panel information for each photo. Titles can also be displayed under thumbnails, if you enable it in the view menu > metadata.

• 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

• Migrating from iPhoto to Photos from another computer

  Hi guys

  I have an old Mac with Snow Leopard and 2 libraries iPhotos on it (a HARD drive, an external hard drive).

  I would like to transfer these libraries on the photo library to another Mac that sits on Yosemite and then upward

  So basically A Mac has not installed pictures and Mac B is not installed iPhoto.

  Is there a good way to do this?

  Thank you very much for your help!

• to access the clips from the library with the name of Dynamics?

  trying to create a new MC on my stage using an ala dynamic name:

  var jpn:Sprite = "jpn_andy";

  var sample = new jpn();

  addChild (sample);

  Is there a way to do this? I tried a few variations of the foregoing, but nowhere was fast getting. Help, please.

  BJ

  Here's a code from a different point of view, that may be what you are looking for:

  var dynamicClassName:String = "xmlString;
  var classRef: Class = getDefinitionByName (dynamicClassName) in class;
  var img:MovieClip = new classRef();

  It still requires that objects with the ID of the class defined in the library... it's the only way to get the content library in.

• Unsatisfactory to migrate from library disk space

  Dear ILife specialists,

  I like to use iPhoto to manage my photos, but as the amount of pictures in my photo library photographer hobby grew to more than 90,000 (high-resolution) pictures. The library itself is about 455 GB. As my internal HD (640 GB) for my iMac 24 "2009 was in full, I had more accidents in addition to iPhoto.

  So as advised I moved my library complete iPhoto to a hard drive 2 TB external. Tested the succesfull library iPhoto from the external hard drive and deleted the internal library. With the new free space my system worked better and I was finally able to update with the new application Photos El Capitan.

  All successful, but now I want to open/migrate my iPhoto library located on the external hard drive to the Photos. But after 8% it says not enough space on hard drive while there is more than 1.5 TB of free space...? See screenshot.

  Can you help me with a solution to migrate my iPhoto library large photos?

  Hope to hear from any of you. Thanks in advance!

  How did you do that? Where your iPhoto library that Library stored?  In your pictures folder, or on an external drive?

  Photos may not be not open your photo library in iPhoto on an external drive and created a library of Photos empty with only a few pictures Photo Stream, if most of your pictures are missing.   Have you tried to migrate the original iPhoto Library again by dragging the icon of Photos?

  Why will it erase all the pictures on my computer?  How can I save them?

  You don't have to do anything.  When you open your iPhoto library with the new photo app that the existing library is migrated to a new library of Photos.  However, as with any operation should have a current backup before proceeding.
