• Do not click on old iPhoto library in Bridge CS5. It converts images of the .pkg file

  Hi fellow users. I'm using Snow Leopard 10.6.4 Adbobe CS5 Bridge and iPhoto 8.1.2.

  I have multiple iPhoto libraries stored in the folder my pictures. If I click on an iPhoto library somewhat current bridge, iPhoto lance and (according to the version of iPhoto package), displays the photo library in iPhoto.

  WARNING WARNING WARNING: Do not THROW OLD iPHOTO LIBRARIES FROM BRIDGE CS5

  If I click on an OLD deck of iPhoto from the bridge, he launched iPhoto but iPhoto doesn't display the library.

  What happens next is bad. Somehow the entire 'Images' folder is now considered by the dysfunctional finder as an iPhoto library or a "package". I had two happen.

  ---------

  The fix. From a finder window, you can right click on the photos icon and 'display the contents of the package. Drag the contents to a new folder. Remove the package of photos. If you wish, rename the new folder "Images". You may help iPhoto find your library again the next time that you open it. You will not be able to pass the package of photos to the Recycle Bin without loggin as user root (Apple can guide you through this).

  Good luck and be warned.

  What happens next is bad. Somehow the entire 'Images' folder is now regarded by

  the dysfunctional finder as an iPhoto library or a "package". I had

  both occur.

  As I don't have a single iPhoto Library I can see the icon and when clicked

  It opens iPhoto forward.

  I don't have much experience with iPhoto and don't like the way you work

  with a library in a package hidden instead of a folder structure opened as

  Bridge of fact.

  Do not understand what you mean with the old library. If you rename the previous

  versions of the iPhoto library or do create you several libraries for different

  projects?

  Anyway, as Lao Tai already said, iPhoto library is a package and therefore

  not supposed to see photos in Bridge.

  Assuming that you have a back up of libraries you can replace without

  a lot of damage but you can first check if you can open the file

  See the contents of the package.

  In the Finder, select the file that you describe and right of the mouse and then click

  choose show package contents from the context menu.

  Do this also with your current library and place them side by side

  Compare the differences.

  The safest way to get your originals is in the same way, choose view

  content and find the "originals" folder

  Copy (if you are still able to use iPhoto, if for some reason any one)

  do) this content to the new folders in the finder (of course outside of the)

  the contents of the iPhoto library) and after doing so point bridge to

  These folders to use images in Bridge and Psalm

• Deleting photos in the Photos app, still remaining in the old iPhoto library

  I spent hours, removing thousands of unwanted photos to free up space. However this happened that I discover now that they still exist in the iPhoto library. Do I have to repeat all the old process in the iPhoto application?

  Yes. Once migrated, there is no link between the two libraries. You may wonder why you're keeping both.

• 'iPhoto Library' vs 'Library of Photos' on the MBA

  I just found out two separate folders on my MBA (iPhoto Library & library Photos) each with a size of 57,15 GB. I assumed that these documents contain the same photos, so I can just delete the old iPhoto library to save HD space? I could use it of course since my HD has fallen to only 20 GB left. Ideas anyone?

  If you are sure that you don't use iPhoto again, Yes, but photography, files are hardlinked and only take place once while it is in the two libraries, so it will not free anywhere near 57 GB of space.

• Photos app cannot import iPhoto library

  My iPhoto library is quite large, 32 GB for 9 500 items.  I've recently updated my operating system and related applications, and when I use the Photo app to import the old iPhoto library, it shows 'Prepare the library' and starts the import process, but hangs up to 24% each time.  When I look in the pictures folder, I find a folder called "Photo library" normal which is fully navigable (I don't have to display the contents of the package), and find a file titled 'Masters' who is the same size as the iPhoto 'Originals' folder.  I then tried to circumvent the import process by default app Photos, creating a new library, and then import the file of masters - it finds about 9 100 files to import, short of 9 500 originals).  If I anything I'll miss 400 originals, not to mention the modified in iPhoto versions.

  I found a lot of people pointing out the import problems, but none that hangs up the same and every time, and no one Ive seen publishes the solution.

  What version of iPhoto do you have?

  Where your iPhoto library?

  Abd you are not importing the iPhoto library - you migrate - if she has not moved on initial launch drag the iPhoto library to Photos icon in the Dock

• 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.

• Safe to remove iPhoto Library after upgrade to Photos

  If I understand correctly, when I started using Photos, it improved my old iPhoto library and created a new library of Photos. Basically, it is now a duplicate of the iPhoto library, correct? I am terribly insufficient disk and wanted to delete the old iPhotos library but I want to assure you that this won't make me lose a photo at this point! I use Yosemite but will improve soon as soon as I have enough recovered disk space...

  Thanks much for any help!

  Jacki

  Yes, if you're absolutely sure you don't need it, then you can delete it. But you won't get back as much space as you think. The two libraries share the same original files, so most of the space will not be recovered.

  How much space do you have?

• Opening iPhoto library from a backup Time Machine in pictures

  I'm trying to make sure I have backups of all the photos of my old iPhotos library (something that I can open the individual files in the Finder, not just a copy of "iPhoto" Library). I turned on my old iMac that is not used much more to make copies, and when I open 'Photos' my iPhoto library is not linked. When I hold "option" at the opening of the Photos app, I see these options:

  

  I think I'm trying to access the old iPhoto library, so I click on it, but then I see this message:

  

  I tried to go to disk utility to repair permissions, but the problem persists. My next thought was to open an old Time Machine backup and try and open the backup iPhoto library, but when I do that, I see this screen:

  

  Any suggestions on how to access my old photos? What I am doing wrong?

  Thank you!

  Are these old libraries or backups Time Machine? TM backups cannot be opened directly, you must first use TM to restore the disk

  and where are these libraries? On the main drive or on an eternal drive? If on a DHM what format is and how is it connected?

• Old iPhoto migration

  I have some old white MacBook 2007 with the latest os x Lion and iPhoto on it. Problem is that the system is super slow and iPhoto barely works. I want to go back to older iPhoto and Leopard/Snow Leopard. Is it possible to do? Can I just move specific folders to the iphoto library in old iPhoto library folder and it will work? Does anyone know what file determines the version of the iPhoto library? Thanks for the tips.

  It is not possible to 'return migration' - you can go back to restore a backup system full when you want to return to-this will give you exactly what you had when you made the backup - all changes made to all data from the backup must be stored separately and subsequently applied to the system

• Deleted but iPhoto library not disk space

  Hi guys,.

  -I'm on a Macbook pro with an upgrade end 2011 1 TB SSD (Crucial) on El Capitan

  - and just deleted my old iPhoto library (which was 420 GB) and emptied the Recycle Bin

  -Unfortunately has no free space, my photo library is 440 GB and the size of the Pictures folder has reduced 880 GB 460 GB

  - BUT my SSD (drive) is always also shows 120 GB of free space only. When I emptied the Recycle Bin only about 20 GB released instead of 420 Go

  I've tried so far:

  -waiting for Finder to catch up

  -empty the trash again

  -restart

  --redemarrer reboot into recovery mode, run disk utility, first aid

  -tried to copy a 200 GB file on the SSD drive to check if the space is truly free, showing everything simply does not, but he said not "enough space on the SSD.

  All suggestions and help very welcome!

  Thank you

  Daniel

  It's exactly what you expect.

  While iPhoto and the report of libraries of Photos using 400 concerts or more, it has the same 400 concerts. The two libraries called the original photos of their own through Unix hard links and share a few minor elements. So, screw up the iPhoto Library recovered space that was exclusively used by iPhoto only.

• What is the relationship between the library of Photos and the iPhoto library?

  I'm asking this question here because I can't find all the relevant information online.

  I was dealing with imac a client recently who had a full boot drive. I noticed that his old iPhoto library used 126GB while she had already made the transition to the Photos. His photo library said that he was using a lot more (200 + if I remember correctly). I copied the iPhoto on an external drive library and deleted. Then, I opened the contents of the package and imported pictures remains in program pictures to make sure that I wasn't actually remove all of his memories. Once the work is finished, I was surprised to see that there are more than 6 GB of free space on his computer. What gives? Is there a relationship between the old iPhoto library and new photo library? If so, what is it? Is what I did without danger? I understand at the time that she will not be able to return to iPhoto. But what I'm missing?

  Thanks in advance for your comments.

  No - they are totally separate - connection or relationship of any kind is not

  or the other can be deleted without any effect on the other - but it won't save much space at all and is not recommended - which is exactly what you have seen- Photos saves disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture - Apple Support libraries

  You could try & use migrate manually move (copy) data from one Mac to another...

  Not all the elements of an older Mac or its OS X should be moved into a new. Be wary.

  • OS X: manually migrating the data from another Mac - Apple Support

  There is a section that says what to try once you have the iPhoto library

  moved to the folder of Photos, and if it is not recognized, a link to info on what to do.

  • How to move a photo for Mac iPhoto library:

  Remember to make backups and separate archives for your computers so that they does not work

  out of storage space. and a device size enough drive for Time Machine, too.

  This is a source of information that can be useful beyond the investigation of libraries of photos.
