New photo library

• Apple TV, you see only not my new photo library

  I have Apple TV and 2 Macs that use home sharing to display pictures of selected iPhoto library.  It has worked well for years, through several generations of ATV (including this, the latest).  Today, on a Mac, I've converted a library of photos from iPhoto in Photos.  In fact, I have 2 libraries - one of which is a 'starter' library created last week, put up with all my keywords and the structures of startup (to clone for new photo projects) records - he has 11 photos.  The second Photo library (which is the most recently accessed Library / edition) has 900 + photos, created today.

  I am running the latest version of iTunes, under El captain.

  When I get home sharing in iTunes...

  

  .. .to select photos to share, the default value presented is for 'Photos' (Yes, I don't know iPhoto its more long!) - BUT it's the 11-photo 'starter' library, like this:

  

  When I use the drop down menu to choose a different folder (the library populated), I choose the file, but it shows 0 photos, like this:

  

  What should I do to get the iTunes to recognize my populated library?  (I quit and restarted iTunes - I also stop and restart the Mac.)

  I'm tempted to remove the Starter 11-photo Library, so that there is only a single library on the Mac... but I hate the idea that is the solution for iTunes and the Photos app talk to each other.  With iPhotos, I had literally dozens of libraries and constantly under tension between them.  I wouldn't think that the ability is lost with Photos.

  Thank you!

  Ah, ha - think I found the answer.  In the preferences of Photos, there is a "button to specify a particular library as the library of the"System. "  My Library recently populated did not have this set:

  

  I set its State to "on":

  

  and iTunes now sees this library instead of the ' starter when sharing with "Photos".

  The option "Chose the folder" doesn't seem to do anything useful, so it seems that it is the new way to do this when the Photos app is used for photos of the ATV.

• Not recognized by Word or Photoshop photo library

  Work on a MacBook and recently installed Sierra 10.12.  Everything worked fine until all applications 3rd party such as Word, Excel, Powerpoint, (office 11 14.6.8), Photoshop Elements 10 has ceased to recognize the new photo library.  iPhoto and photo booth developed but not the photo library itself. The actual program pictures works fine. I also see the library by email and online (as a download on shutterfly). 2 hrs with tech does support last night and 3 people later no resolution.  Reinstalled Sierra. No change. Everything is updated.

  Just weird it was working one day then stopped working the next day.

  Any suggestions besides to annihilate the entire disk?

  How you are trying to access your photos? Directly (which is not possible) or by using the media browser?

  a work around is to export the photos (menu, file == > export) to a folder on the desktop and use there

• Download Photos library to iCloud

  After converting my iPhoto photo library, the size of the photo library in the finder is 135 GB and the amount of pictures is a testament to the library is 26 673 when the "All Photos" album is selected. The quantities are close to those originally iPhoto library.

  I then started to load the new photo library on iCloud where, during the download process, the dialog box indicates that it is 'uploading 9306 points (xx.xx GB GB 104,46),"where xx.xx is the current amount downloaded so far.

  The difference in quantity and size of the photo is disturbing. Y at - it a reasonabe explanation?

  From what I saw other people post, the number changes often. See types of files that you can use in the linked article. Which may explain part of the difference.

• Delete a photo library, now can bring into the iPhoto library

  I have Photos of El Capitan put in place to manage multiple libraries on the same MacBook Pro internal hard drive.  I was trying to create a new additional library, but seem to have screwed things up.

  I created the new photo library, called "BB_Photos", then introduced in photos from iPhoto to Snow Leopard.  I note that the same name iPhoto library is on a second internal hard drive.  The new library seems to have created OK in El Capitan.  However, I was unhappy and trashed the library of Photos of El Capitan, in the hope of re - create.  Now I can't pictures released Photos a second time.

  In Snow Leopard, the library presented as 'BB_Photos.migratedphotolibrary' and I can line up the pictures of El Capitan.  (Even once, note that these are on two separate disks, because I am dual boot.)  Photos I am trying to re-import or something, but I trashed this library.  Are photos ransacked still hiding somewhere in the Photos?

  

  The iPhoto library is visible from El Capitan pictures inside, but it is grayed out and not available.  However, I can still open and view inside Snow Leopard iPhoto library.

  

  How can I cancel my original error and get "BB_Photos" in El Capitan pictures?  I can't the library of Snow Leopard to be "not migrated" so Photos can see it again?

  Photos does not open "BB_Photos", because the file name extension ".migratedphotolibrary" shows that the library has already migrated to the Photos.

  Simply restore the file name extension ".photolibrary". You can do this in the Info Panel.

  Select "BB_Photos... migratedphotolibrary" in the Finder, then enter the ⌘I key combination to open the information panel. Change the file name extension in the "Name & Extension" section of the Info Panel.

  You may need to click on, then uncheck "hide the Extension."

• iCloud for photo library

  Hello

  I decided to download all my library of Photos of the iCloud. I bought the 200 GB storage plan.

  I recently bought and started using a new macbook El Capitan running and using Photos for my replacement of my old iMac running iPhoto. I also have a MacBook Air 2 and iPhone 5 s, which are connected to the cloud for all my photos.

  I copied all the pictures of my old iPhoto library in my new photo library.

  My new belonging Photos is about 67GB and is stored on a HARD drive and I started to download on my storage iCloud about 24 hours ago.

  I followed the progress and the very small bar sometimes shows that she is not progressing and then will start to make further progress. He is currently "Download" and indicates less than a quarter full.

  Where can I find the estimated time remaining? Why is capricious and sometimes indicates that nothing is downloading?

  I checked that my internet speed and I'm at a speed about 4 MB/s download.

  What I have to disable all programs and applications on my mac to copy a little faster? I have to do something for my other devices to increase the speed of copying?

  Tips or advice would be a great help because I'm not 100% convinced that this will copy successfully, and I may have to go back to the use of the HARD drive for my library of Photos.

  See you soon!

  It is quite normal that the download will require several days.

  My library with 40000 photos and videos took a little over a week to download in iCloud.

  There will be periods of time where you will see no visible progress. This can result from the conversion of the elements in a format compatible with iCloud, for example, if your library contains many videos.

  Just let it run and not to interrupt, or download will start and be even slower, because the second time, the library must be compared to the elements already in iCloud.

• Why is my migrated size smaller photo library?

  Hello

  I've migrated just my iPhoto for pictures library. He created a new photo library, but it is quite a bit smaller than the migrated iPhotos library. This concerned me. According to Finder, the old library of iPhotos is 105 GB and the new photo library is 90 GB, for a difference of 15 GB. I read in a few places online that said that two libraries should be about the same size. However, I opened the two libraries in their respective applications and did a 'get info' check, and they say they have the same number of photos, videos, size of storage and date range (3870 photos, 658 videos, 84 gb, from date date X). What is the cause of this difference between the two libraries 15 GB Finder?

  Thank you!

• Photo library no new phone

  Hi, I tried to figure this out for a while and I don't know what else to do.

  My iPhone has erupted recently. I knew that I backed up my phone the day before so I had no worries. When I went to the apple store to replace yhe phone, an Apple employee checked to see if my photos were always in my iCloud. He showed me the pictures on the computer. I had no worries. Wanting a fresh start, I put my iPhone as a new iPhone instead of restore point a upward. Yet, when I went to iCloud.com my photos weren't there.

  Are your iCloud/settings on sync photo library? Have you checked the Photos app?

  Soon as your App Photos or iPhoto lost track of your photo library, or there has not been migrated from your old drive. You can create an empty library and probably enable iCloud photo library for photos to upload to the cloud.

• If I turn on iCloud local library, my library on my iMac remain intact and still receive new photos and videos as well?

  I was using iCloud library until I received a message that my storage was almost full on my iPhone and I could take is more new photos or video.  I wanted to delete the pictures and videos from my phone to free up storage space, but it is difficult or not delete my files on my phone would also result in their be removed from the library thus iCloud.  So I decided to disable iCloud photo library and uploaded to my iMac (as I was given 20 days to do so).

  I was under the impression that my local library of Photos on my iMac would always remain in tact and updated independently of the library to iCloud.  Isn't this true?

  All help on this subject never mention 'Download' and 'Download' to and from iCloud, but there is nothing that confirms my library local photos remain in tact and current.  Someone can it confirm please?

  I was under the impression that my local library of Photos on my iMac would always remain in tact and updated independently of the library to iCloud.  Isn't this true?

  It is provided that you activate the photo stream instead.

  but it is become difficult or not delete my files on my phone would also cause their be removed from the library thus iCloud.

  With iCloud library enabled, you cannot delete a photo on a device (or iCloud.com) without deleting each device which uses iCloud photo library (iCloud.com). In order to save space on your mobile devices (and indeed your Mac if you want to) turn on the optimization of the pictures on these devices (settings > photos & camera > optimize storage on your mobile device and Photo preferences > optimize storage on your Mac)

  Dynamic optimization, it reduces the resolution of your photos, if necessary, so that you don't notice it occurring initially. However, when necessary, it is very effective, and users have reported libraries being optimized for much less than 10% of their original size in some cases. My own library is about 9% of its original on my phone size.

• how get the iPhoto in new Photos app library?

  While the installation of El Capitan, iPhoto has been uninstalled and I find no more photos, I had (thousands of them) in the new Photos app. How can I recover the previous iPhoto library into the new application Photos? Right now I feel I've lost memories for many years.

  Thank you.

  1 - iPhoto has not been uninstalled by the upgrade to El Captain - it is always in your applications folder and works fine (you do not have the current version 9.6.1 - if you do not keep your software up to see date cannot update iPhoto because it is not available in the App Store )

  2 - the first time you launch Photos it should migrate the last iPhoto library used in the pictures - if it is not, or if you want to migrate additional libraries simply do them dragging the Photos icon in the dock - migration details, see How Photos handles content and metadata for iPhoto and Aperture - Apple Support

• Transfer the Aperture/Photo library to new Mac: how to manage the referenced pictures

  Here's the scoop.  I was a long-time user of Aperture with half of my pictures handled as pictures referenced to an external drive.  Photos, as I understand it, also sees the photos as mentioned.

  I then acquired a new iMac and want to now all of my photos to reside on his hard drive and I'll give up on opening.

  So, if I transfer the Photos library file to the new computer, how can I get these files referenced on the new computer?

  Do you want the photos to be referenced or you want to group as managed in the Photos?

  If you want to keep the referenced pictures, use Aperture on your old mac to move files referenced in a folder on the new Mac, before opening the Aperture Photo library to convert it to a library of Photos.

  If you are satisfied with transforming the library to a library of the crib, you can use pictures after the migration the photo library to build the library.

  Pictures has the command "file > consolidate" to move the intone library pictures and make managed, it has few tools to fix the referenced files broken, but it can not move the referenced files. No matter what move you want to do, do it in Aperture, while your library is still an Aperture library.

  Opening 3.6.is still work under MacOS X 10.10.3.

• Transfer of the photo library to new Mac via iCloud

  I bought a new iMac to replace an old MacBook Pro.  Rather than a Migration Assistant, I opted to do a fresh install of things since the MBP had years and years of junk on it.  In any case, of the MBP, I downloaded the very large library of Photos to iCloud (which eventually took more than two weeks).

  On the new iMac, in pictures, I checked 'use iCloud' and ' download origiovals full resolution for this Mac. "   Now I see in the preferences in pictures (on the iMac), it now says "DOWNLOAD files 13 500 to iCloud.

  I'm confused by the present, since there is no native picture on the iMac, then what, exactly, he's trying to do? All photos should not be a descendant of the cloud, does not extend to it?

  Furthermore, if I deleted the file PhotosLibrary on the iMac and copied the file PhotosLibrary of my old MBP and continue to synchronize with iCloud, the process would be quite smart to know tha all these pictures are already in iCloud and don't have reuploaded (or may have duplicates of everything)?

  Life was so much simpler before decide me to (try to) link to the photos between my Mac, iPhone and iPad via iCloud.  Come on, Apple. "What happened to"it works"

  Furthermore, if I deleted the file PhotosLibrary on the iMac and copied the file PhotosLibrary of my old MBP and continue to synchronize with iCloud, the process would be quite smart to know tha all these pictures are already in iCloud and don't have reuploaded (or may have duplicates of everything)?

  Whenever you open a library to use with iCloud photo library, the Mac will download and compare all the pictures with iCloud.  He will try to avoid duplicates and probably succeed.

  If you have already invested a lot of work in your library on the MBP, if you have created projects - book, calendars, appointed the faces, it would be better to copy the library. The names of faces will not iCloud, also download your books and calendars will be missing.

  See: use Photos and photo library on several Macs - Apple Support iCloud

  But if you don't need to save the labels of faces and projects, it should be faster to download the photos to iCloud.

• To a new Mac to iCloud photo library

  I bought a new Mac and you want to migrate my iCloud photo library to the new machine. Currently, I have all my photos stored on my old mac and plan to move the library of photos of the new machine.

  I have 650 GB of photos, so I don't want you must synchronize all the photos again to iCloud. Is there a safe way to migrate my photos for the new iMac?

  The best way is to connect the systems or use a DHM in mac OS extended (journaled) format and drag the photo library intact as a single entity of the original system in the new system images folder and then launch the Photos on the new system

  The new Mac will say it's download to ICPL but it I actually just make sure everything is in sync - it takes time, but less than a download

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

  Try to copy the library of Photos directly without Time Machine. Connect the two Macs using your network and copy the old Mac to the new library, well as signed in on your new Mac.

  Then try to open this copy in Photos.
