• How can I transfer a photo library (raw and jpeg files) fram without loss of metadata and keywords?

  How can I transfer my favorite photos library on my MacBook to another library on an external hard drive without losing metadata and keywords?

  If you want to keep the metadata, you must export the images as the current versions, edited. File > export > export... images.  Then you can turn on the indicator "Tile, keys, descriptions words":

  

  Choose a high quality for JPEG, not to lose quality.  To the RAWs export them under like TIFF picture.

  You can export the RAWs as "file > export > export original unmodified" and keep it RAW, but which will not include the metadata.  And the Photos will allow you to export an XMP file with metadata, but when I tested, it did not apply the metadata when you import the RAW files again. So the best compromise for the RAW format would be to export as TIFF, another lossless format.

• Transfer the Aperture/Photo library to new Mac: how to manage the referenced pictures

  Here's the scoop.  I was a long-time user of Aperture with half of my pictures handled as pictures referenced to an external drive.  Photos, as I understand it, also sees the photos as mentioned.

  I then acquired a new iMac and want to now all of my photos to reside on his hard drive and I'll give up on opening.

  So, if I transfer the Photos library file to the new computer, how can I get these files referenced on the new computer?

  Do you want the photos to be referenced or you want to group as managed in the Photos?

  If you want to keep the referenced pictures, use Aperture on your old mac to move files referenced in a folder on the new Mac, before opening the Aperture Photo library to convert it to a library of Photos.

  If you are satisfied with transforming the library to a library of the crib, you can use pictures after the migration the photo library to build the library.

  Pictures has the command "file > consolidate" to move the intone library pictures and make managed, it has few tools to fix the referenced files broken, but it can not move the referenced files. No matter what move you want to do, do it in Aperture, while your library is still an Aperture library.

  Opening 3.6.is still work under MacOS X 10.10.3.

  Hello, manoj0910.

  Please visit Apple support communities.

  Looks like you can't synchronize the pictures located on your external drive.  I need a little more information about your configuration to provide a better answer.  However, we will try to sync your photos through the section of the file through the article below.  You just need to direct iTunes to where your photos are stored on your external drive.

  If your photos are in a folder

  1. Select "Choose a folder" from the context menu.
  2. Choose the folder where you store your photos.
     
  3. Click on apply.

  You can arrange photos in subfolders to create photo albums.

• Transfer Lightroom Photo library on customer account

  I want to start building a library of photos on my Lightroom CC account, when put in place and looking good, I want to encourage the customer to subscribe to Lightroom CC and then transfer the entire photo library so that they can continue to manage, add and edit images - is this possible?

  Thank you

  Your library has nothing to do with your CC account. The library 'seat' in your local catalog.

  The only thing synced to the cloud or mobile are marked-to-sync collections.

  That said, you can copy/forward a catalogue (in collaboration with original photos!) without any problems even for subscribers who use LR6.

• "Photo library" transfer off old 4th gen iPod Touch with 6.1.6

  Hello!  Here's a blast from the past.  I just turned on an old iPod Touch I found that has a lot of pictures on this topic.  It is a 4th Gen, 64 GB iPod Touch Works 6.1.6.  I would like to copy photos off, but here's the rub: more precisely the "photo library".

  The iPod has two Albums in there when I open the Photos app: "Camera Roll" with 89 photos and 'Library' with 13 153 images.  I have successfully copied off 89 photos of the film by just plug the iPod on my PC and open it in my computer.

  But how to make photos that are in "photo library"?  They're out there somewhere! I opened the iPod in iTunes, and when I hover over the the bar its use down it shows that there are 15 013 to 9.26 GB photos.

  You need a computer as a phone application view or tap copy to copy photos that have been synced to iPod

  Applications such that I saw were paid apps.

• Transfer a portion of the photo library

  Hi all

  I am currently using a MacBook Pro 2013 Yosemite 10.10.5 running. I have 750 GB of internal storage, but it is almost full. Most of this storage is filled with photos and videos. I bought a 2 TB external hard drive and partitioned it, one for time machine and the other for storage. I have over 300 GB of photos and videos, some of them dating back to 2008. I don't want to send all those pictures in stock, everything up to the last year. (time machine has everything saved anyway) I tried to do this manually, section by section, but it became a right mess. The files were being duplicated in the external hard drive, sometimes up to 8 copies of the same photo. The order went all out of sync even when put in order of date, and some pictures have the same name. I found the instructions on how to move a whole library on an external hard drive, but then I got confused about this becomes your default library or something? I don't want to change the default location of the library, I want to just put a little library in stock, without making a mess. Anyway, I guess my question is the following:

  1. How can I move that part of my library of Photos on a hard drive external, at once, without losing the order and without the hard drive of my library by default?

  Also, I liked iPhoto. I didn't know it at the time, but now we have pictures, I love iPhoto. When he updated a year ago I just left, because I assumed that it had to be this way. Now that I try to spend it in stock I realize even once how the poor Photos, if...

  2 is it too late to return to iPhoto? If I do how I move all the newly imported (last year) photos in iPhoto as well?

  I wouldn't say my technical abilities on the Mac is that great at all so any help is appreciated.

  See you soon

  1. How can I move that part of my library of Photos on a hard drive external, at once, without losing the order and without the hard drive of my library by default?

  Drag your photo library on your external drive, and you'll have a copy. You can switch between libraries by pressing the options then you launch Photos. Allows you to select the library you want to open.

  . I don't want to send all those pictures in stock, everything up to the last year. (time machine has everything saved anyway)

  You know that Time Machine will remove the older items in the backup, if she needs to release new backups storage?  If you the elements removed from your computer, they do not stay on Time Machine forever. What is your Time Machine partition? It must have at least 2.5 times the size of the disk of your Mac system. This will ensure that backups do not get deleted so quickly.

  And Time Machine backup impossible a second partition on the same drive. It would be better to move the copy of your photo library to a separate data disc, not a partition of data on your Time Machine disk, so time Machine can include in the backup, and you'll always have a backup of the photos that you moved out of the internal drive.

  2 is it too late to return to iPhoto? If I do how I move all the newly imported (last year) photos in iPhoto as well?

  you will quickly become frustrated with iPhoto too. Apple is no longer supports. You can order is no longer iPhoto print products. So, it can break completely.

  To resume work with iPhoto, you must upgrade to iPhoto 9.6.1.

  You can only update iPhoto iPhoto 9.6.1, shows among your purchases on the App Store. Check the tab fourth appstore - purchases.  If you see iPhoto you can update by removing iPhoto in the Applications folder (do not empty the trash), then restart the App Store and click on "install". To install iPhoto 9.6.1.

  Tip to see Barney:

  Can't update iPhoto because it is not available in the App Store.

  To move your latest photos to iPhoto export them photos and import it into iPhoto.

• 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.

• Transfer the photo library in iPhoto to Photos

  I have just passed my iPhoto library photos on El Capitan (10.11.3) on my new iMac and have lost some pictures, some were 3 years old from the originals and thus lost location information, faces and events.

  Would this be normal?  Can I retrieve the original info. ? or do I have to revisit each of my photos almost 5000 and identify the faces and places all over again?

  NO.

  It's the photo library is exactly the same as the iPhoto with converted albums - events library see How Photos handles content and metadata for iPhoto and Aperture - Apple Support

• Transfer of the photo library to new Mac via iCloud

  I bought a new iMac to replace an old MacBook Pro.  Rather than a Migration Assistant, I opted to do a fresh install of things since the MBP had years and years of junk on it.  In any case, of the MBP, I downloaded the very large library of Photos to iCloud (which eventually took more than two weeks).

  On the new iMac, in pictures, I checked 'use iCloud' and ' download origiovals full resolution for this Mac. "   Now I see in the preferences in pictures (on the iMac), it now says "DOWNLOAD files 13 500 to iCloud.

  I'm confused by the present, since there is no native picture on the iMac, then what, exactly, he's trying to do? All photos should not be a descendant of the cloud, does not extend to it?

  Furthermore, if I deleted the file PhotosLibrary on the iMac and copied the file PhotosLibrary of my old MBP and continue to synchronize with iCloud, the process would be quite smart to know tha all these pictures are already in iCloud and don't have reuploaded (or may have duplicates of everything)?

  Life was so much simpler before decide me to (try to) link to the photos between my Mac, iPhone and iPad via iCloud.  Come on, Apple. "What happened to"it works"

  Furthermore, if I deleted the file PhotosLibrary on the iMac and copied the file PhotosLibrary of my old MBP and continue to synchronize with iCloud, the process would be quite smart to know tha all these pictures are already in iCloud and don't have reuploaded (or may have duplicates of everything)?

  Whenever you open a library to use with iCloud photo library, the Mac will download and compare all the pictures with iCloud.  He will try to avoid duplicates and probably succeed.

  If you have already invested a lot of work in your library on the MBP, if you have created projects - book, calendars, appointed the faces, it would be better to copy the library. The names of faces will not iCloud, also download your books and calendars will be missing.

  See: use Photos and photo library on several Macs - Apple Support iCloud

  But if you don't need to save the labels of faces and projects, it should be faster to download the photos to iCloud.

• iCloud photo library and FIRST photos in iOS

  I would like to enable capture of RAW files in iOS 10. I have a 256 GB 7 iPhone +, but at 30 MB per DNG, storage will be used quickly if I don't get the photos on the phone regularly.

  It is true that I am still unclear on iCloud photo library works. I activated on my iPhone, but I think it means it stores the photos on the phone and also downloads in the cloud?

  If I had to come home every day and transfer the DNG on my Mac and remove them from my phone, I assume that they will have is no longer a storage space on my phone, but would take place in iCloud if they were downloaded before I moved out of my phone?

  Looks like I should cut iCloud photo library if I am shooting RAW, since I would like to download very large photos that I don't necessarily want to keep?

  iCloud is a synchronisation/mirroring service and not a traditional cloud solution based.  If you are looking for a more traditional based cloud solution, then consider using an application third, for example Dropbox, Flickr or Google Photos.

• Bigger photo folder after iCloud photo library

  Hello

  I have just transferred all photos and albums to the library to iCloud and that you have selected the option optimize storage Mac (I did the same thing on the iPhone).

  It took a few days to transfer all the photos and they are now synchronized correctly in my two devices (iPhone and Macbook air).

  However the library folder is still large (23 GB), which leaves only 11 GB on my Macbook.

  Could someone please tell me why?

  Thank you

  However the library folder is still large (23 GB), which leaves only 11 GB on my Macbook.

  Optimization is dynamic. Photos will remove the originals over time, when more storage is needed. But as long as all the pictures to adapt, this does not alter the existing originals. It may take a few weeks up to what your library will get thinner.

  If you are wanting to free storage, and you are sure that all your photos are now in iCloud, you can make a backup copy of your photo library, and then delete it. Now wait for the optimized versions download icloud.  This method has a raffle draw-back: books of projects like one also faces albums are not synchronized to iCloud. If you need to keep a copy of your library of origin on an external drive, if you want to save the project and faces.

• Photo library no longer sync to iCloud

  On a whim, I decided to check to see if my photos on my MacBook Pro (in OS X version 10.11.3) have increased on the library in my iCloud account and found out that the were not the pictures. It seems that other than 2 pictures (of many) on 24 December, nothing has been transferred to iCloud for my Mac since October 9. Photos taken with my iPhone 5 s appear in the iCloud library, so this seems to be just a problem with the Mac. I also see that the changes I made on the Mac for iPhone photos are not sync iCloud or my library on my iPhone. I signed up for storage iCloud around August or September 2015, while I could use as a backup of my photos and have them sync between devices. In System Preferences/iCloud/Photos, I remember selection iCloud photo library, but not my stream of photos or iCloud, photo sharing. However, when I look at these options today, iCloud that library is not checked and My Photo Stream and iCloud, sharing of photos are checked. I thought I could change it right back, but when I check the option library iCloud now, it shows that I don't have enough space on the cloud. I plan to store 200 GB and only 56 GB left, because the majority of my photos (144 GB) is already there. How can I get new photos and retouching to iCloud and ensure that it continues to work as it should? Of course, I don't have photos that are already in place in iCloud to redownload. Which took several days to get them right the first time! Thank you very much for your help!

  I suspect that it is a temporary problem until you get you Mac fully synchronized with the cloud again. You should not, but I guess that if you have subscribed to the plan of 1 TB for a month, the problem may resolve itself and you might return to the 200 GB plan. If you went down this path I'd be inclined to contact Apple first to see if you can not re-credited for your temporary subscription.

  The other alternative would be to stop iCloud photo library on your phone, manually transfer the missing photos on your Mac, delete all the photos in the cloud and then turn it back on in iCloud photo library on the Mac. I'm not sure I want to try it myself.
