• Photos and iPhoto Library - transfer both?

  Hello. I'm trying to transfer my library of Photos on an external hard drive to free up space on my Mac. I noticed there is a huge iPhoto library in both images and don't know what to do with it.

  I'm running OS X El Capitan 10.11.5 and was completely out of memory. I already reformatted a WD My Book, 3 t in the correct format and am currently uploading Photos.  My question is, I need to transfer the iPhoto library as well to keep the Photos work properly? I have read conflicting information. It seems that they may share data and deletion of iPhoto could damage the library?  iPhoto is GB 336, Photos is 447 GB.  I have space for both but prefer delete the iPhoto library rather than transfer if that's for sure. He said also, photo transfer will take 4 days and I do not want to make twice as much...

  Separately, I also have a small external hard drive, I moved a partitioned iPhoto library to several years ago. I used iphoto Library Manager software. I have pre 2010 photos out there and no where else other than a backup hard drive. Remove the iPhoto library on my computer effect my ability to use the one partitioned? I would like to merge all to a library of Photos now that I have the space.

  Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

  Yes and no

  There is no connection between the photo library and the iPhoto library - you can move or delete without effect on the other - don't know where your found contradictory information but there is no link between them

  However, if you move one and keep the other won't save you any space - you must move both to save space on your Mac - if you are sure you are finished with the library of th eiPHoto, then you can simple delete it, but it is advisable to keep a copy of archive of it to the case where

  And don't forget that the EHD must meet these requirements-must be in Mac OS extended (journaled) connected via a wired connection format fast as ThuderBolf, FireWire or USB, not used as a backup volume Time Machine and always available before pictures being launched

  And the copy of the library (if you have the good fast wired connection) will not take 4 days - the finder is an estimator of bad weather

  As for the separate iPhoto library again once there is no link between multiple iPhoto libraries - and there is no way to merge them after their migration into Photos (you can merge the iPhotoLibrary Manager iPhoto or Aperture libraries and you can add pictures to a photo library to another) you can migrate the second iPHoto library by dragging it to the Photos in the Dock icon - PowerPhotoscan merge the masters previews in another library and PowerPhotos can be continued to display the two libraries

• understand the flow of photos from iPhoto library photos vs vs

  I just transfer a bunch of photos from an external hard drive in my iPhoto library.  I created several new Albums right here.  The problem is that my photos are not displayed when I click on the Photos icon on my menu bar.  Also new albums and photos will appear not on my iPad via the photo stream.  I don't understand how the 3things: I picture library, photos, photo stream, work-sharing app.  How to do all of my albums (and the photos in these albums) duplicate in all (or appear to) all my devices?

  Migrating from iPhoto to a Photos library library affects only the photos in the iPhoto library in time. Photos and albums added to the iPhoto library after that will be in the iPhoto library unless you also import the photos into your photo library and set and fill albums.

  Albums are not spread through my photo stream, only by iCloud photo library.

  The new model is of approximately:

  * Use only the Photos app and the library of Photos on your Mac (s). After the initial migration, ignore iPhoto and its library.

  * Use iCloud photo library as the repository ignoring my photo stream unless you have devices that don't support icloud photo library (for most older iPods). You may need to increase your storage plan iCloud to organize all your photos and videos.

  * Use the Photos app on your iPhone (s) and iPad (s) with iCloud as library active. Again, my photo stream is necessary only if you have devices that don't support icloud photo library. You can use the option "optimize storage' to save the storage space on your iPhone (s) and iPad (s).

• Linking the Photos to iPhoto library

  My library is on an external hard drive (150 + GB). I installed my MacBookAir from the Mavericks to El Capitan (I jumped from Yosemite).

  I don't want to use iCloud for storing photos.

  How directly the Photos to find my external hard disk iPhotos library?

  Once I connect the photo library, I want the library to stay on the external hard drive. Can I do a separate library of iPhotos library? That repeated the photos or information just cataloguing? In essence, I'm not ready to write off my iPhoto library entirely - I have an old computer that is still running iPhoto.

  A lot of people seem to be confused by the switch of iPhoto for pictures; I have not seen other questions / answers on the forum dealing with my problem though. Sorry if I'm repeating previously answered question.

  Thank you.

  1. Launch Photos with down option, click on another library and select it.

  2. it's automatic.

  3. the cataloguing information will be duplicated, but not photos. If you choose to reproduce photos, Option-do drag the photo library to a different location on the same disk in the Finder.

• 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?

• Import iPhoto Library after upgrade of the Sierra

  I upgraded to Sierra and now try to import some of my photos from iPhoto library that I had saved to Time Machine. The Photos App says 'nothing to import' - everyone has figured this out? Thank you!

  Belongs to the iPhoto Library always Time Machine backup?

  Can restore to a different drive. You cannot migrate the library as part of a Time Machine backup or a disk Time Machine.

  To migrate the iPhoto for photo library, drag the Photos icon in the Dock or launch Photos while holding down the button options. That will bring up a panel of library selector. Now select the iPhoto in restored library.

  The Photos App says 'nothing to import' - everyone has figured this out? Thank you!

  Photos cannot import libraries and merge them into existing libraries. He can't open a library to create a library of Photos converted.

  If you already have a library of Photos, read the help page on how to switch between several libraries of Photos:

• iPhoto library picture problem - what is their actual size, I can delete?

  Hello

  I'm trying to fix a friend's Mac airbook. It is insufficient on... out of 120 GB hard disk space, only 5 GB remaining who is causing trouble.

  Now at some point, she has improved iPhoto to photos! On his computer, there are now two files... and it size differs depending on what software I use:

  OmniDiskSweeper:

  iPhoto Library 30.2 GB

  Photo Library: 15.2

  Daisydisk:

  IPhoto library: 18, 7 GB

  15.2 GB photo

  ---

  total: 33.9

  GrandPerspective:

  iPhoto: 27.9

  Photo library: 3.46

  -

  total: 31,36 GB

  Finder (information)

  IPhoto library: 30 GB

  Photo Library: 15.7 GB

  1. If the size is the iPhoto library? 30.2 GB, 30 GB, 27.9 GB or 18.7 GB? And what size it the photo library? If information can I trust?

  2. can I remove one of the libraries?

  I really need to make room for her and have tried everything... the real solution appears to tackle this problem of libraries of photos.

  Help, please!

  PSI don't know exactly how it migrated data. In any case I read much online and some people say that I can remove the old library, some people I can't say... or even if I do, saved on hard drive size won't matter.

  beawre: this lady has no backup anywhere! (I know, crazy... but that's how she made things... I cannot now buy one for her, so I need to be careful before deleting anything)

  If it does use iPhoto, you can delete the iPhoto library but you should check it first just in case

  as for its size can in no way anyone without access to the computer can tell

  as for space economy it will probably save a lot because it seems that she has a lot of deletions of his photo library or use iCloud photo library with optimized photos - immediately after the migration, two libraries share links to the originals and previews and deletion either saves very little space but that changes are made to one and not the other potential savings grow - my guess is that in his case, the savings will be a lot, but the only way to know is to archive the iPhoto library and delete it and restart

  And be very careful about programs like OmniDiskSweeper - if you use it to remove pictures of each library it will destroy the library - you should NEVER directly remove anything on a Photos or iPhoto library - always use the program to remove things

• Cannot open iphoto library after copy old HARD drive to the new HARD disk

  I had to buy a new MacBook and recover my files, the old MacBook HARD drive is connected to the new via a USB connection and support base.  I have successfully transferred all my files to the new disk.   However, I can't open the iPhoto library that I just moved through without going through the old drive still connected.  I get a message like "cannot open the migrated library.   However, the new iPhoto on the new laptop is accessible OK.

• Cannot transfer iPhoto Photo Library - unless the external is plugged.

  Hello

  Before I got my new Macbook Pro today, I copied my iPhoto library on my external hard drive. This library will be important and open the pictures, the new application, ONLY if the external hard drive is plugged - I even tried to copy the old library, iPhoto to my office and open Photos manually, but it will not be read. Is what it means I need to copy my iPhoto images one by one in the new application Photos?

  Thank you!

  I should add here that, once the hard drive is disconnected and I try to open the old library still in Photos, he search the hard drive and is unable to find it. It seems that I can't fix my iPhoto library original as my default photo library.

• How to transfer the old macbook pro iPhoto library

  I got a new Macbook and wanted to transfer my photos from my old computer in a fairly simple manner. Thank you

  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:

  http://osxdaily.com/2015/04/17/move-iPhoto-library-to-photos-Mac/

  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.

• iPhoto/photos in iphoto, but not imported from the HDD to the library

  Hello

  I chose and took some pictures of files in an external hard drive and copied manually in iphoto. It seems that the pictures were not actually copied to the iphoto library. If I locate the disk we see on my hard drive. That's why when I eject the disk, they are impossible to open.

  I don't want to go back on my hard drive and copy each individually, it should always be. I tried to use the double function but it duplicates only hard disk, once AGAIN.

  Then I selected all the photos in question and used the import function. It leaves me only to import the entire folder of the external drive that cancels obviously efforts of choosing.

  Is there an easy way to transfer selected photos (which show when my hard disk is connected and vanish once is not) in my library - permanently

  Thank you

  Are you running a Managed or referenced library?

  A managed, library is the default setting, and iPhoto copies the files in the iPhoto library during import. The files are then stored in the library package

  A referenced library is where iPhoto does NOT copy the files in the iPhoto library when importing because you have made a change to iPhoto-> preferences-> advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files in the library to import) The files are then stored wherever you put them and not in the library package. In this scenario, you are responsible for the management of files.

• How can I transfer iPhotos to an iMac like photos in a new MBPro?

  • Or export photos from iPhoto on your old mac and transfer the photos of exprted on a MacBok Pro and then import them to Photos. The import Panel may be able to detect duplicates and warn you, if you try to import the same files.
  • Or copy the iPhoto library into the new Mac and open it in Photos to transform it into a library of Photos. Alternatively, you can open libraries in the Photos. If you use iCloud photo library and enough iCloud storage, you can download the second library iCloud and s witch then return to your library. The libraries will be merged in iCloud.
  • If you have PowerPhotos you can use to compare your two libraries, find duplicates and merge libraries.

• How to copy an iPhoto Library AND photos

  With the help of iPhoto Library Manager I made a copy of my iPhoto library to a new external drive, but I noticed that when I opened the library copied, the photos it contains are always referenced to the original photos, no copies on the new drive, as I had hoped.

  If as expected, how a copy an iPhoto Library AND photos referenced to a new location, on an external drive, as is any independent on the new drive?

  Thank you

  Geoff

  Simple:

  Go to your pictures folder and find the iPhoto library here. Drag it to the external hard drive. It will make an exact copy it

  Fact.

  Warnings: the player must be directly connected (USB, lightning etc.) and Mac OS extended (journaled) format

  Are you running a Managed or referenced library?

  A managed, library is the default setting, and iPhoto copies the files in the iPhoto library during import. The files are then stored in the library package

  A referenced library is where iPhoto does NOT copy the files in the iPhoto Library when importing because you have made a change to iPhoto-> preferences-> advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files in the library to import) The files are then stored wherever you put them and not in the library package.

  If you have a library that is referenced, then it is much more complicated.

• transfer problem from Leopard to Snow Leopard iPhoto library

  I have a G4 Mini Leopard (10.5.8).  A year ago I accidentally moved the iPhoto library to a flash drive, instead of just copying what I intended, so after that I could only see my photos in iPhoto via the flash player.

  Now, I have an Intel Mini under Snow Leopard.  I want to get my photos in iPhoto on this computer.  I found this answer of discussion on how to do it at this link: 11 iPhoto library: Lion to snow leopard

  "- Together to connect the two Macs (network, fashion target firewire, etc.) or use an external hard disk formed Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder on the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready to move on."

  I checked my flash player, and unfortunately it is in MS-DOS (FAT 32), not Mac OS Extended journaled format.  I'm afraid that if I put the i photo library it is about that in the pictures of the Mini Intel folder it will cause a BIG problem.  It will be? I suppose that if I tried to reformat the flash drive, I would lose the content above, right?

  If so, the only other place I have my photos on a disk external bootable with OS 10.5.8 I was support of the mini G4 up to it on a regular basis with Time Machine.  Is there a way I can make use of this to get my pics on the Intel mini?  If so, how?  I don't really know how to use Time Machine, so give me the specific steps to be extremely important and very useful.

  As a senior, I'm out of my depth here, so all the ideas/help will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

  As a start connect the last drive on the new Mac and drag the iPhoto library folder pcitures and launch iPhoto - it works - it could, if it test and you sholud b fine - if it's not then psot for help in restoring the backup TM

  BTW - TM is not bootable backups
