Photos Photos-library refer to iPhoto Library

Hello

I have a huge problem. Long ago, I migrated to the Photos.

Now, I realized that many of my Photos in my photo library are only references to my iPhoto library that no longer exists.

But there are no Photos in my Photo folder (I can find them via "show package-contest" in the finder)

So there are a lot of pictures, showing in my photo library, but the reference to the original file is in the folder/library-iPhoto-rather to the pictures library folder where the file exists. This causes an error message when I try to do something with the Photo that is referenced.

How can I fix? I always tried to repair my library with no result.

The attached Message is German. But it shows, Photos trying to find several Photos in:

/ Volumes/Macdata/Pictures/iPhotoMediathek...

Instead of:

/ Volumes/MacData/pictures/Fotos- Mediathek...

where the Photos exist. In my Fotos-Mediathek there is a folder called/2014/12/30, and there are Photos!

Any ideas?

Thank you

Kwicks

Copy the Masters record photos in your photo library to a record Volumes/Mac data/Pictures/iPhoto-MediathekXXX/masters...

Once you have copied the folder there, rename/iphoto iPhoto-MediathekXXX - medial.photolibrary.

So try, if Photos can now find the originals it. T it?

  • 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."

  • Moving iPhoto/photo library

    Hello

    I'm moving my iPhoto and photo library to an external hard drive to save space on my MacBook Pro SSD. Once I located in my home folder, then the folder images, both iPhoto and photo libraries are there, and they say they have a capacity of approximately 200 GB each, so about 400 GB in total. When I moved the iPhoto on the external drive library (holding slipped and fell on the command key, so do NOT copy), he moved the so-called 200 GB in just about 15 minutes and when I checked my storage "about this mac" I won only about 6 GB. I have to move all the other files or through any other process to actually moved the library? I tried restart and have begun in iPhoto with the menu to choose the library and it still works fine and it is said that the entire library is on the external hard drive, but the ability is not sensible for me. Thanks for your time.

    they say they have a capacity of approximately 200 GB each, both on 400 GB total

    This is not correct.  The two libraries share the same data on the HDD through hard links initially so that they only take twice the amount of space on the hard disk. They can be copied/saved independently.

    New photos added to each library are independent of the other library.

    Here is more information about hard links:

    Photos saves disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture - Apple Support libraries

    The (hard) link between Photos and iPhoto

    In the future, do not use the move feature.  If there is a problem then its moving target file may be damaged and the source file will be removed leaving you without useable file.

  • 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.

  • Is iCloud photo library space use doubled if I use Photos and iPhoto apps?

    IPhotos and Photos apps right now: If an image appears at the same time it

    No, you can not use iCloud with iPhoto and Photos at the same time on the same computer.  Photo library only at a time can synchronize with iCloud (My Photo Stream, shared Albums, iCloud, library).  If you enable iCloud for a Photo library, it will be disabled for the previous library.

    Sine you use Yosemite - in the first versions of Yosemite was a problem, and it was possible to activate my photo stream in iPhoto and iCloud library in Photos at the same time. But my photo stream does not count against your iCloud free storage, that is used for library iCloud, there is no overlap in iCloud photo library.

  • Not enough disk space to convert the iPhoto photo library

    My wife iPhoto library has about 9 500 photos. She has a MacBook Air, which has limited hard disk space, so we put his iPhoto library on a SD card (which is still in its SD slot). We decided to convert the iPhone photo library. When the process is started, it happens about 4% on the progress bar when a popup said that there is not enough disk space to perform the task (said to 72GO). How can I complete this process? She wants to ensure its iPhone and iPad Air can all share all the photos via iCloud. Can I put the library of Photos on the SD card too? Once the synchronization of library of Photos with iCloud, not all large digital images disappear from MacBook Air and only a miniature remain (like on the iPhone and the iPad)?

    I decided to try the procedure on my original post on my MacBook Pro.

    I copied the Library.photoslibrary Photos of my MBP to an external hard drive connected to my MBP.

    I did an "Option" + then click on 'Photos' selected the "Library.photoslibrary Photos" on my external hard drive. This produces the following pop-up message:

    "This library contains items to download from iCloud photo library".

    "To download the complete library, delete the incomplete elements, then set this library as the library of the system preferences and activate iCloud photo library. This will disable iCloud photo library on other libraries. »

    "Delete the incomplete items" or "quit".

    I clicked on "Quit" and posted above.

  • Photos app cannot import iPhoto library

    My iPhoto library is quite large, 32 GB for 9 500 items.  I've recently updated my operating system and related applications, and when I use the Photo app to import the old iPhoto library, it shows 'Prepare the library' and starts the import process, but hangs up to 24% each time.  When I look in the pictures folder, I find a folder called "Photo library" normal which is fully navigable (I don't have to display the contents of the package), and find a file titled 'Masters' who is the same size as the iPhoto 'Originals' folder.  I then tried to circumvent the import process by default app Photos, creating a new library, and then import the file of masters - it finds about 9 100 files to import, short of 9 500 originals).  If I anything I'll miss 400 originals, not to mention the modified in iPhoto versions.

    I found a lot of people pointing out the import problems, but none that hangs up the same and every time, and no one Ive seen publishes the solution.

    What version of iPhoto do you have?

    Where your iPhoto library?

    Abd you are not importing the iPhoto library - you migrate - if she has not moved on initial launch drag the iPhoto library to Photos icon in the Dock

  • Help return to iPhoto + delete Photos library to recover disk space

    When the Photos were initially introduced, I didn't know what I would get in when I just clicked "convert to Photos" or whatever the wording was.

    A week in the new application I realized that it wasn't for me (lack of some key tools like iPhoto), so just started using iPhoto again instead

    -but only now I realize the new Photos app seems to be "hogging" lots of disk space:

    When I look under the images, I see my iPhotos current library clocking in at about 64GM.

    While the Photos library clocks (now are more used) in a 66GB even higher.

    My question: How do I clear all (assuming that duplicate) photos in Photos and get much needed storage space of hard drive?

    Is it save to just delete the folder from the library of Photos in my pictures folder or I have to delete all the photos in the Photos app?

    If you don't use Photos and has no pictures in you need to trash just the photo library - it will not save a lot of space because of the hard links that are used, but if you use any Photos, then there is no reason to keep the library autour and when you are ready to migrate again (you will need since iPhoto is not supported and an upgrade it) break)

  • Photos referenced in the photo library are in the iPhoto library

    I have 26 pictures in my library of Photos that are referenced photos. I want to collect my library of Photos. However, when I try to do it says Photos that I need to allow it for the folder that contains these 26 photos. Unfortunately, this folder is inside my old library iPhotos, which is a package and therefore cannot be accessed via the dialog window Photos gives me.

    I tried to find 26 photos manually via the Finder via "Show package content", but I can't find them. A Spotlight search did not help either.

    Does anyone know how add these 26 photos referenced in my photo library.

    The strange thing is all the other photos (over 7,000) migrated my iPhotos library my library of Photos with no problems.

    I have 26 pictures in my library of Photos that are referenced photos. I want to collect my library of Photos.

    NO.

  • iPhoto and photo library on hard drive storage

    I'm trying to free up space on my HD, and I've got this huge 'other' file.  Further investigation, it seems that he might actually reflect my pictures on my computer, despite photos apparently only 12.42 GB of space.

    But then my pictures folder contains 80,21 GB of data.  So, the 'library of Photo migrated' iPhoto said he composed 24.96 GB.  And the photo library makes 53,11 Go.  Can I delete the iPhoto library (is it a duplicate because it was migrated?)

    Yes. But you claim back so much space that you think that both applications share the masters BLAH common to both pictures.

  • MAC - impossible to find "Pictures folder" / Iphoto photo library and open the Iphoto Application at all

    Hi all

    I have Apple devices for a few years now, but I still find it difficult to understand the system. I want to put an end to that, so I finally registered.

    I try to look at the tutorials and read the forums, but I can't find concrete answers to my situation.

    First of all, in my application of Photos of my MacBook, I remove hundreds of photos and videos, then I go to recently deleted screen and I delete them all permanently.

    However my disk space is the same before under 'Storage' summary when I check "to about this Mac". I restarted the Mac and waited for days, the space does not release upward.

    Then I read in a forum and found the following answer:

    Your photos has not deleted because they still exist in iPhoto or Aperture, whatever you use. Photos saves disk space by creating links to the already existing files in iPhoto/Aperture, rather than duplicate. This means that if you want to delete a file, you must make sure that it has deleted all.

    If you can live without ever using iPhoto/Aperture once again, go to your Pictures folder and delete iPhoto Library and Aperture Library . In this way, the only copies of your photos will be those photos, and removing free space on your computer.


    The questions are the following:


    (1) after reading this, I decided to look it up in my pictures folder in the Finder to locate the iPhoto library, however it is not there on the left side, after reading the forums, I still cannot locate the iPhoto library anywhere.

    (2) in case I finally find my iPhoto library and delete it, are the images that I see now in the deleted Application Photos?

    (3) another curiosity, when I try to open IPHOTO, the following message appears:

    And then after trying the 'search App Store':

    I did not need to actually use my iPhoto or App Photos in particular, I do not yet fully understand the difference. I want to just my photos to be stored in ONE place and when I take hours to remove them permanently, get my rear space and do not learn, they still exist elsewhere (iPhoto library).

    Also please help me understand what am I supposed to do with the iPhoto application now that gives me these error messages.

    Thank you very much!

    (1) after reading this, I decided to look it up in my pictures folder in the Finder to locate the iPhoto library, however it is not there on the left side, after reading the forums, I still cannot locate the iPhoto library anywhere.

    The images folder must be manually added to the sidebar.

    Open the Finder preferences:

    • Click anywhere on the empty office to bring the Finder to the front, then go to the Finder menu in the main menu bar, open "Preferences".
      Click the tab of the sidebar and add all the items to the sidebar, you want to see.

    Now, open the images in the sidebar folder in the Finder.  Is your photo library in iPhoto there?

    Then drag it to an external drive to make a backup copy, then delete it and empty the trash.  Accidentally delete the photo library.

    (2) in case I finally find my iPhoto library and delete it, are the images that I see now in the deleted Application Photos?

    No, the photos in your library of Photos and the iPhoto library are separate files.  It was created by hard links.

    Hard links are new files, which use the same entry in the table. They store the contents in blocks of same on the disks, so the entries are not duplicated, but if you remove one of the linked files, the others will remain. The storage will be released, when the last linked file has been deleted.

  • My iMovie includes an iPhoto library but not my photo library. How do I update to include Photos?

    I didn't use iMovie for awhile, but have been the installation of the updates. Now, I want to start a new project with pictures of my request for Photos. The photo library is not displayed in the list of iMovie libraries. How do you get pictures of Photos for use in iMovie?

    Try opening the pictures before you open iMovie. Some reported that they can open pictures and close it, and then open iMovie. IMovie is inconsistent about the display of the photo library, sometimes it works ok and other times it is necessary to open the first photos to iMovie of wake-up call that it is all over.
