Orphans of photos in the library, how to locate?

Hi, I recently noticed that some of my videos exist in the library of photo.app but I can't find them anywhere. I checked:

  1. Moments
  2. Album "all photos".
  3. I tried to find them with a search by their file name box
  4. I tried to locate them on the map.
  5. I checked 'Hidden' album
  6. I recently checked "deleted" album

So, it seems that there is no such thing as these videos, but if I try to import I get a notice in duplicate and it shows me that this same exact file is already imported to the library. I checked the master library folder in the Finder and it's there.

I tried to rebuilt Photos.app library yesterday, but nothing seems to change, the videos are not yet found nowhere iCloud library status is stuck on "Update"... ", so, don't know if it will fix later.

I want to find what is happening, because it can have other pictures and videos which disappeared.

Maybe there's a way to dive into the database from photo library and check there?

Also information on how find and duplicate detection work will be appreciated (looks like they check in different parts of the library).

Using iCloud photo library? Which adds an additional level of detection of duplicates when syncing with iCloud.

Photos is pretty smart when checking for duplicates during the import.

When I try to import the exactly the same image file or video twice, I get a warning, if I want to import the duplicate.  If I insist and import a second time, Photos will show the image or empty twice in the next moments, but it will be like using "duplicate".  There will be two different versions of the photo, but the original image file are only saved once in the Masters folder.

And when I rename the image file before you import the same photo again, pictures don't inspire me not an´bout double, but it still won't matter the image file a second time.  It will just create a second, linked to the first original file version and ignore the new file name.

So, try the following to find the original of your video an orphan:

  • Photos of quit smoking.
  • Drag the video out of the folder control on your desktop, and then reimport the photos.  If you see a warning about duplicates, ignore it and import however.
  • Now drag the video in the folder of masters to where you moved since.

Now ctrl and the 'last import' open album click on the imported video. Select 'display in the moment '. That is telling the new side-side with the original import?  Compare filenames, dates, places.

  • photos of the library - why don't I see any?

    I have the latest version of apple tv (3?) but she makes me crackers.

    Set except it not finding my library from my macbook pro on a regular basis (an i have to go through the rigmarole of tie and then share once almost on an hourly basis), I do not understand the available Photos from the library:

    1. they are organized into photos (all), then last import, Panoramas, videos, bursts, then Albums I think - I do not recognize the Albums, unless they were a period of iPhoto? The Albums are pictures pre all move to my new home in April. How is it isn't exactly like the pictures of the menus?

    2. photos 10,000 or more, why are (at least 50%) just a blank grey white picture? Can I sync?

    3 slide show - why it turn on "Loading" and never to show all the photos - it used to work 3 months ago?

    4. my screensaver is related to my photo library and works, seems to be a limited number of 10,000 available photos.

    You can see them all through the 'computers' app if you have sharing enabled. However, the photo app will include only your workflow iCloud or folders that you have identified to 'share '.

    Hello Sarika

    Thanks for your help.

    It's not that simple I thought he'd be when I used your method that whenever I tried to uncheck 'Use graphics processor' Lightroom 6 crashed.

    At least you put me on the right track and I persevered and found the file relevant agprefs of Lightroom web help and followed the instructions to change manually.

    I have changed two files with the same name but stored in different locations.

    Everything works fine now.

    Thank you once again.

  • I lost all my Muse Widgets in the library, how can I get back them?

    I lost all my Muse Widgets in the library, how can I get back them?

    Wait, so you mean the real Widgets in the Widgets Panel?

    Not the library where you can store your own stuff (users also tend to call these widgets...)?

    Could you give the name of this widget that you have installed, which seems to have caused harm?

    I think the best solution is to go to the Adobe CC , this Panel application where you can manage all Adobe applications. Uninstall Museand re-install it.

  • Why when I choose a photo in the library grid view it does not appear in the window to develop up to selected in the Filmstrip below?

    Why when I choose a photo in the library grid view it does not appear in the window to develop up to selected in the Filmstrip below?

    It was the strangest thing, but I think I solved the problem. Use the CC version 2015.1 on a Wacom tablet using Win 8.1 and inadvertently from the same batch of photos, I had downloaded twice and it was very confusing because it did not prevent the duplication of files, but the files where not really there. I didn't know whether to remove or delete the files with question marks for fear of destroying a link or something so merged files and now everything works as it should, once chosen in the library that the photo appears in develop mode.

  • Cannot download photos in the library

    Using the free version of Revel for the first time on Android 4.2.1 device.

    Trying to upload a photo in the library, its saying not enough space (or something in that sense).

    The device features 1 GB (about 300 + Mb is free) ROM flash and 12 GB (10 GB is free) user-space. 1 GB (+ 400 MB is free) ram. No external SD card (do not have a yet, but the support of up to 32GB calss 10).

    My camera settings are stored to the file size of 1 MB for the generated image.

    Deleted cache.

    Looks like revel does not connect to the online library. Has installed Grouppix too and look forward mostly to work.

    Looked like the app permissions and it asked for protected storage and card SD read write all were allowed during installation.

    John

    Revel was released for devices that meet the technical specifications you will find on the link below. Looks like you don't have enough free memory. If you want to upload a bunch of photos and you don't have enough memory, the other option is to download from adoberevel.com on a computer.

    Android 1.0

    Android OS 4.0.1 or newer

    Samsung Galaxy S2 or newer

    A HTC or newer

    Revel Android requires 500 MB of free space on the device, photo cache while they download and store thumbnails of pictures for viewing. The app can be moved to an SD card, but the data will be stored in the device memory.

  • Windows Media Player - How to save photos in the library media player on my hard drive?

    I have recently more written inadvertently a lot of a very important .jpg files in my folder of photos but I found them in the windows media player library... However there is no record available option... How to save them in a folder that can access my photo editing software?

    There are 343 photos in a folder under my pictures... I crushed 42 photos... they appear in the library media player as the photos that more wrote the originals... but the media player library shows other 299 photos but they are NOT in the original folder... and I don't find them by searching even with the file name, the entire computer to research.

  • How to filter only rejected photo for the library

    Hello

    for a quick view to my imported images, I like to see all of them expect of the rejected (display x) ones.

    So I want to see all sorts of markings: stars, color and white flags in any State, but not rejected photos.

    It gave me the ability to quickly select all my photos in the comparison view

    Any selection I made, filter the photos also marked with a star.

    Do you have any idea, thanks.

    Detlev

    Any selection I made, filter the photos also marked with a star. ... in my file photo 10 photos, some with a star, some with more stars, some with one color indicator, without any marker and 3 with the rejectetd flag, my filter should see the photo everyone is waiting for the three rejected image.

    To test my understanding, you think that you have set your library filter bar to exclude rejected photos.  But the bar seems to be filtering for the pictures that are marked with a star, excluding photos that have no star.

    Make sure that the filter bar looks exactly like this:

    The first two indicators must be selected and the third not selected (it can be very difficult to tell when a flag is selected due to the poor design of the user interface).  Also make sure that the side is set on "> =" and no star is selected. Additionally, make sure that 'Text' and 'Metadata' are grayed out.

    If your bar looks like this, and it is still showing only photos with a star, then try resetting your preferences: http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?25197-Resetting-the-lightroom-preferences-fi le-update . Very rarely, the filter bar "merges" corrupt preferences and reset will clear the problem.

  • I can't find my photos in the library, although they are accessible through the office. spent hours trying to get the library to open with them in windows 8. any suggestions before I go to apple?

  • Can I use the delete button to remove photos from the library (that is, any computer) when I'm in the album view?

    I like to use the album view to find the photos I don't want and it is easy to just hit delete. However, these pictures are just removed from the album, not the library. Configure the delete key to delete these photos of the whole library instead?

    Hold down the command key by pressing the button Delete. Then the picture will be deletedd and not just removed the library.
