Opening, lack of masters after importing the iPhoto library

I have a large (about 14 000 pictures) iPhoto library, which seems to work correctly when opened directly into iPhoto 9.6.1 or directly in Aperture 3.6. When open in one of those, all the "originals" or the "masters" can be located, and there is no problem.

I want to merge this library in a large Aperture library. I tried to do this using file-> import-> library, who ran with no error message. After the work of import, most photos imported into iPhoto show an error icon, indicating that they are absent from their master. There are about 9 500 photos with masters missing, according to opening. I can use the tool to "Locate the referenced files", and then I see all these pictures with masters missing have "null" as the name of the volume in their way, and their path begins with the year of the import job. Path of the example:

2012/01/03/20120103-185643/DSC02345. JPG

To reconnect the master, I can navigate to the iPhoto library container and click the 'Masters' folder in the library container. As soon as I click on the folder of "Masters", the tool referenced files locates the record (since the rest of the path matches). See the screenshot:

This method will not work for me, however, because the button "Log everything" does nothing. It will reconnect only one photo at a time, then the development of the upper part of the tool files referenced changes, and I need to re - click on the missing file missing, re - click the 'Masters' folder and click on reconnect again. I can't make that 9 500 times.

Then why Aperture loses these masters when it is important to iPhoto? Is it possible to reconnect all of this?

Then why Aperture loses these masters when it is important to iPhoto? Is it possible to reconnect all of this?

The problem seems to be the Masters folder offline state.

have you tried to repair or rebuild the iPhoto library before trying to merge into the Aperture library (Aperture 3 User Manual: repair and rebuild your Aperture library)?

is the library with the iPhoto in question on an external disk library?  If so, how the hard drive is formatted?

  • 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.

  • Where is the iPhoto library import addon

    I'm trying to import my iPhoto library in Lightroom 5.7.  I can't locate the plugin that was supposed to be released in October last to facilitate this. Adobe research lead to no results.

    Dear Wilhelmina

    I think the product you are looking for is the opening. You can find it here: https://creative.adobe.com/addons/patches/5117 although if you have upgraded to the latest version of Lightroom, it comes as standard.

    What you trying to do?

    You want to open your iPhoto library in iPhoto or the new Photos.app?  and what version of Mac OS X and iPhoto you have installed on your Mac?

    If you have improved your Mac to Mac OS X 10.11,2, El Capitan, you can open your photo libraries or in News Photos for application mac or you can continue to use iPhoto, but only iPhoto 9.6.1 will work on El Capitan.

    IPhoto update (see user tip of Barney: cannot be updated iPhoto because it is not available in the App Store)

    Once an iPhoto Library was opened in Photos the extension will change to ".migratedphotolibrary".  To open this library in iPhoto again, change the extension of filename in '.photolibrary '.

  • 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."

  • Delete the iPhoto library?

    I just noticed that I have a migrated iPhoto Library with 76 GB last opening in April 2015.

    The photo library occupies about 90 GB and update.

    Can I delete the old library to free up space which could be just a left over after the upgrade for the Photos?

    Yes, the media files are hardlinked, so it won't make anywhere near as much space as it appears, it will be. In addition, you will not be able to reopen the iPhoto library.

  • iPhoto and photos, delete the iPhoto library?

    After that I've migrated a default iPhoto library during installation of the Photos, I no longer intend to use iPhoto,

    Delete the iPhoto library?

    If so, which file to remove - see PHOTO...

    All this without losing any data.

    PS

    I also use iCloud photo library - with my iOS and OS X devices - what is here?

    Thank you.

    You will not lose data if you delete the iPhoto library - you don't have an it's one you delete

    However is it discouraged because it will save very little space and you may want to or have need of the later - iPhoto library it is best to wait at least three months and when you remove it remember to archive everything first just in case where you want or need

  • Importing Photos iPhoto library

    I watched the improvements coming from the Photos app for several months and I'm ready to take the plunge to move my 30 k iPhoto library more photos to Photos.  I do not use any storage cloud based. I have my iPhoto on my local disk library, saved on a disk external hard connected through time machine, as well as a complete copy on another external hard drive.  I spent a lot of time marking the faces; that is the most important for me and I want to make sure that they give.  What is the best way to get all my current iPhoto library metadata to the new photo library?

    I know I ask a simple question, but I'm being too cautious with that.  Thanks for any help you can provide.

    To migrate your iPhoto library to a library of Photos for the first time all you have to do is drag the icon in the Dock of Photos in the iPhoto library.  Who will migrate your iPhoto library to a library of Photos and place it in the same folder as your iPhoto library.  Should not be used twice the space on your hard drive for Photos uses hard links to access the photos used to create the iPhoto library.  These two documents describe how hard links work:

    I found that if it becomes necessary to use time machine to return to an earlier existence to reinstall the iphoto library, if for some reason, you lose lose, then when you try to synchronize your ipad is not recognized by the computer.  So when you try to synchronize the pictures, they are all removed from the ipad and trying to reinstall everything again.

    This may or may not work immediately.  In my case, only half the photos have been installed, and then the error message came that the rest of 9000 can be installed.

    I contacted Apple support team who has made various suggestions.  Subsequently clicking on a photo list in iTunes were all going again and pictures of 9000 then installed.  When I asked the support team what could happen I was told that it was a "glitch".  I don't like seeds they mean that there could be an error in coding somewhere.

    Here me again.  I use an iMac and iPad.  I don't know why XP and iPhone came.

  • I copied the folder iPhoto to my 'images' on an external drive and all photos disappeared both external drive and the iPhoto library. Do you know where they are?

    Hello! I have a big problem!

    I copied the folder "Images" that is default in my Mac on an external drive.

    Inside the 'Images' folder, there is the iPhoto folder.

    When I reopened iPhoto, all photos disappeared from the iPhoto library and the external drive. I left alone with very little, very old photos.

    Do you know where my pictures maybe? Photos in iPhoto has also lost all the flags...

    Thank you in advance for the answer...

    What software (name and version) are you using? What format is the EHD? How is it connected? What exactly did you do step by step

    Bottom line is that correctly copy a package does not remove anything so you did something wrong and we need to know exactly what you have and what you have done to help
