Photo backup not file photo library

I have a lot of pictures, all placed in my library of Photos under Photos OS X App folder.

This file is supported by the Time Machine software and backup to CrashPlan.

But I also want to save all my photos in the form of images - not inside a folder of Photos (just in case that the photo library will be unavailable)

Is it possible to backup all my pictures from Photos App AS a pictures?  (Like before you import them to the Photos APP)?

Thank you

You can export the Photos.app pictures in a folder on an external drive, if you want to save the original separately.

Pictures of launch, then select all the photos in the photo album all by opening the album and entering ⌘A.

Now use the command "file > export > export original unmodified for... elements.

And select the oldest on the external drive as the destination.

  • Time Machine backup not my home library folder

    After having updated my system to El Capitan in Sierra, I decided to clean my external drive for Time Machine in order to launch a new series of backups TM Sierra.

    The problem is that Time Machine now stops back up when it arrives in the library folder in my home folder.

    He used to work flawlessly when I ran El Capitan.

    I then cancel the backup process which stopped at about half of employment (360 GB 201,85 Gb).

    If I dig in the time Machine ""current " file in the folder Backups.backupdb, I find my record library home tagged a red button with a sign less in its lower right corner."

    It seems to be a weird permissions issue here.

    No explanation of what's going on here? Any solution?

    I would like to launch utility disk-> first aid on the disk and partition just to be sure, it is not a file system inconsistency.

    If that doesn't fix it, I would check then the console logs (applications > utilities > console.app) to see if it is reporting the issue during the backup.

    If you still have no joy, I'd start to screw up files from your library folder (do not empty the trash so you can put back them) until I found what was causing the problem. Use menu bar to access the library in the Finder, and type in the library.

  • Rescue and Recovery backup not file system - without error message

    I use, since 1985 the first IBM, Lenovo then. I was very happy, my next Lenovo will be bought next spring.

    But I'm just very disappointed. Daily tracks of rescue and recovery on the local disk, which later are copied to a backup drive.

    The program has never shown an error on the screen and still run perfectly-, I thought!

    A few days ago, I got a Windows error for the first time. There are a lot of missing files.
    I restored the system on the R & R and reboted. But cannot start.
    With a boot disk, I booted the system and could now see that all the Windows directory was empty!

    Unfortunately, I can not in R & R files see what files and directories contain a backup? Or can you?

    Question 1:

    So I would like to know how if someone can enlighten me.

    Then I started to investigate on what had happened. In c:-Library SWSHARE I found some files that I see is connected to R & R.
    In the engine.log file, I see R & R has written a large number of error lines, of which a part is reproduced below. File dates to 2011 and there are errors all the way

    Question 2:
    Why the program not onscreen when R & R run display errors, so that the user knows there are errors?

    Now I'm sitting at the bottom with a long nose, after 2 days and nights, trying to find a solution and restored the system several times and do not know how the file system works will come back on my PC so normally again.

    Be more happy if someone can tell me how to solve this problem.

    Here is a selection of error lines:

  • How to exclude the missing files or library locations that are on a network backup and restore of Windows 7 Professional drive

    How to exclude the missing files or library locations that are on a network backup and restore of Windows 7 Professional drive. To give you more information, I have photos stored on a network drive to the following address: Wirelessspace\LaCie\MyPhotoGallery\Family. This folder is a location of library under the images. Because this folder is on a network drive backup backup not file Wizard.

    In addition, the following file locations is not found because they no longer exist. So why the backup wizard continues to look for and how to remove the backup set? I guess the error code following each line means simply that records cannot be found. Is this correct?

  • Hello! If I icloud library disabled, will be always saved pictures? I know that your backup stores the photo library of all devices and because I'm not all devices to be synchronized I think I'm safe and won't lose my pictures/videos. Right?

    Hello! If I icloud library disabled, will be always saved pictures? I know that your backup stores the photo library of all devices and because I'm not all devices to be synchronized I think I'm safe and won't lose my pictures/videos. Can someone please clarify?

    If you want your photos backed up, you must import them into the photos on the computer application that synchronize you with. iCloud photo library is a repository for all the photos for a given iCloud ID. However, it is not required for the care of your photos. I do not use iCloud photo library - import my photos into the library of Photos on my Mac.

    A backup of your device iCloud will save your current film, but if you remove anything from this film, then it will not be available for retrieval at a later date, because backups replace the previous backup version. A backup is so not an archive safe for your photos or videos.

    Photo stream keeps the last 30 days or 1000 photos taken with your camera if you have Photo Stream on, but once again, it's a temporary storage that gets crushed. Photo stream is intended to provide a method of sharing photos between the signed devices on the same iCloud account, but is not intended as an archive.

    Import your pictures and videos on a computer means that all photos and videos are kept in a library on your computer and will be accessible. It is the only safe way to archive your photos:

    PHOTO IMPORT IOS ON MAC/PC

    Good luck

  • Why the pictures/Photos Library.photoslibrary/Database/metaSchema.db rewrite? It seems to be causing large backups

    Since going to OS X 10.11.4, I was make great daily backups (+ 3 GB) on time machine. This seems to happen even if I hadn't used the machine so far here. I noticed that the Photos had a new date of all everyday even if I had not opened it or loaded new pictures, I looked at his files using Terminal.  It seems that ' Photos/Photos Library.photoslibrary/Database/metaSchema.db' was the file with the new date of every day. In my system, it is about 3 GB.

    What is the explanation for the file being rewritten every day? More importantly is it possible to prevent it? (Or Plan B: is there any similarly to tell Time Machine to ignore it when it finds files modified - assuming the metaSchema.db reconstruction is something that could be done without too much damage, if I already had restore the pictures of the machine time?)

    There is continually a synchronization process with your system photo library.

    And if you use iCloud the cloudphotosd library is also synchronize with the library, even if you use any Photos that day here.  Your system photo library is continuously in use.

    To avoid this, you need to have a library empty your library of the system, but then you cannot use Photos with the media browser or iCloud.

  • Send photos to iCloud photo library - referenced files

    I am trying to transfer photos to ICloud library and get the message error "775 files referenced in your library don't download not to ICloud photo library" when doing the research on this site I found how to make a smart file of the "referenced files" and selected "consolidate."  When I do that, it says "Allow photo to access your media" and tells me to choose a folder "sub" and where to find.   When I find the folder and select it I get the message "Cannot find the original file IMG_4515.JPG" when I go out and look for this Image and as always is a duplicate I then go back and go through the process again only so he could tell me another photo it does not remove it.  I get the sense he'll browse all 775 files in this way?  Help?  What should I do to get rid of these referenced files?  and if I find them in the photo and delete them is that going to help?  When I search the photo in the finder can't find something?  I am, once again, at a loss?  It seems that my system continues to download on iCloud, as the number of downloads is moving?

    and get the message error "775 files referenced in your library don't download not to ICloud library"

    It is not an error message, this is just a warning.  You can ignore other photos upload nevertheless.

    What should I do to get rid of these referenced files?  and if I find them in the photo and delete them is that going to help?

    If you are sure, that all of the referenced photos are duplicates, delete the photos in your smart album "referenced". I would create a copy of your photo library on a backup drive, before you do. In this way, you will be able to come back later, if you notice any missing files.

  • iCloud Photo library of backup hard disk external

    Assuming that you don't use referenced files, copy & paste "Library.photoslibrary Photos" package to a hard external lead backup all my pictures in Photos? If I open this file on another computer, I will be able to access my photos?

    Assuming that you don't use referenced files, copy & paste "Library.photoslibrary Photos" package to a hard external lead backup all my pictures in Photos?

    Yes, you can simply drag and drop the photo library on an external drive.

    But make sure, that the file system of the disk is Mac OS extended (journaled).  Otherwise, you may experience problems with errors in the file. (such as described here for Aperture: using Mac OS X extended, for your Aperture library locally mounted volumes)

    Turn the meter of "Ignore ownership on this volume" for the external drive, if you want to open the library of another Mac.

    If I open this file on another computer, I will be able to access my photos?

    Yes, if the first mac has the same version of Mac OS X installed. Versions of Photos must be the same.

    Using iCloud photo library? In this case depends on your preferences to "Optimize Mac Storage".  Optimize Mac storage' active your original photos will be in iCloud and not on your Mac and not copy on the external drive.  "Then you will need to disable optimize Mac storage" and wait for your photos to download before copying the library.

  • 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

  • How to separate the Raw files of the photo library

    My photo library is over 700 GB. I have a lot of raw files that are 30 MB or more. How can we separate the raw files in a separate file or a separate library?

    Duplicate your photos library in the Finder and then remove all the BULLIES of the first library photos and all photos that are not the RAW files of the second library.

    You can search for RAW photos with a smart album:

    File > new Smart Album

    Then set the rule set to "picture is GROSS."

    Of the other library use the rule 'The Photo is not BELIEVED'.

  • 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.

  • Solution of fast backup, photos of google or iCloud photo library?

    Hey there Apple community, im in a bit of a situation difficult and need a few thoughts. My iPhone more than 6 s is fully charged to 64 GB of photos and applications. My iMac is fully loaded with photos in iphoto, Yosemite. I have 10% left in my iMac HD. It won't let me save my iphone. I know I go through my iphoto library and organize and delete some photos and consolidate the events before migrating to the new application photos and then move it to icloud photo library, but I'm very limited on time in the next few months and won't be able to do. I wrestle on a quick temporary solution for backup, but don't want to spoil or lose my precious photos and other data.

    But this is what im thinking, tell me if this would mess things up.

    I would like to either temporarily back up all my photos on Google photos for now from my iphone, and then when I'm ready, I'm going to migrate my iphoto library all on my imac to the photo library to icloud and then transfer my photo library from google to the photo library icloud (but not sure. If it works Someone at - it experience with google pictures and Mac?).

    Or I simply activate the iCloud library of photos on my phone while it backs up my current pictures on my phone last year and then optimize my storage on my phone. Then a few months starting now to migrate my iphoto library 268 GB of Photos app on my iMac running Yosemite and then migrate the library of Photos in this same icloud photos library that I opened a few months back from my phone (I understand I will pay $10 per month for the size of the library). I feel like the latest one is the best option, but I'm not sure if I do it my icloud library won't sync and consolidate properly because I started with my current pictures on my phone and then brought in my library of photos together for the last 5 years at a later date. How do you think any community?

    Why not get an external drive and move the photo library of the computer to the outside. If successful, you can then remove the library on the computer, or just keep it as a backup.

  • How migrations (El Capitan) not come to the photo library?

    Hello

    I want to use the Migration Wizard to move my user account for my MacMini BUT put the photo library on a separate hard disk from the system drive.

    My MacMini has two internal drives, the library is huge.

    The MacBook (early 2008 - running Snow Leopard) old a MacMini (late 2009 - El Capitan cool running).

    How migrations (El Capitan) not come to the photo library? It seems to only be set for the entire account.

    If I do this, put the library on a separate disk. How to use Time Machine to back up the library?

    The separate HARD disk transfer photo library, and then delete the disk that you are migrating.

    Time Machine backup disks all connected, unless you put them in the list of exclusions.

  • Change the referenced files photo library photos

    I know that I can import pictures into a photo library in the form of referenced files. But if I already imported pictures directly in the library can I reinstall them on an external drive?

    No, is not possible in Photos.The only thing you can do is to group them in your library and turn it into managed photos.

    To transform the photos managed photo referenced, you need to export them, delete them from your library and reimport them. Referenced photos are weakly supported in Photos. I'd only in this way, your photo library is too large for a single disc.

Maybe you are looking for
