• How to move photos all photos and remove iPhoto and Aperture libraries?

  How can I move all the my iPhoto and Aperture photos to Photos and remove iPhoto and Aperture libraries?  Photos automatically links to the old library on migration to save space with two libraries.

  As a related issue, there don't seem to be anyway to determine if a picture is stored when viewing Photos.  Incredibly frustrating when there are duplicates because how do you know who I should delete?

  No - nothing is connected - once you migrate a library it is independent and did no link to the original library - you can remove it if yo want

  However the removal of the original library will save the little space and is not repeated because it uses hard links to the original and previews so the new library uses little extra space

  As duplicates - what difference does make? They are duplicates so delete an and smells like another - even - you do not have any what visibility of the underlying files (and do not need to do this) in pictures

  Pictures is a new program and this is a learning curve - and is not a professional software like Aperture, so it is not expected at all what Aperture is - is better than iPhoto and get closer to the opening, but I doubt it will ever open

• Photos saving disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture libraries.  Should which library I use to remove old photos?  If I delete old photos in iPhotos appear in pictures and vice versa?

  Should which library I use to remove old photos?  iPhoto or Photos?

  If you migrated a library iPhoto to Photos and you want to release the storage, you should remove the pictures of these two libraries.

  Related photos storage only comes out, after that the last linked file has been deleted.  If you do not use more of the iPhoto library, move it to a backup drive. Then simply delete the photos of your new photo library.

• I just upgraded to El Capitan.  Our photos are in both iPhoto and Aperture.  Is it possible to include both libraries in Photos (El Capitan)?

  Our photos were in iPhoto and Aperture until the upgrade to El Capitan.  Photo and the opening are now gone.  Is it possible to include both of these libraries in Photos of El Capitan?  (When I added the second library of Photos, the first library disappeared.)

  Use PowerPhotos or the library to iCloud to merge; If necessary, launch Photos with Option key button and choose another library.

• Photos matter multiple Aperture libraries?

  I have a very large file to open, and I would like to export to smaller libraries of the project (e.g., by calendar year), and then import each of them in the Photos. My concern is that if I try to export the great opening file, there will be errors, which I hope to minimize creating smaller, annual project libraries.

  I use an iMac early 2016, with Yosemite OS X I have the latest version of Photos and opening.

  I'd appreciate any help.

  No, although there are third-party applications that allow photographs be used with several libraries.

  The best approach is to combine your Aperture libraries in a library before migrating it to the Photos.

• Multiple Aperture libraries

  I have a lot of Aperture libraries, all managed, one for each year for the past 6 years.  What is the best way to implement the CC with Lightroom?  I want to keep the pictures of the year on my internal hard drive and other photos from other libraries of the opening, on an external hard drive.

  Thanks in advance,

  Tom

  Hi Tom,

  You need to import all Aperture Libraries individually by clicking on file > import Extras > inside Aperture library

  You can specify the location of the copy of images of opening for each different library but not the specific images in the library

  Kindly, see this article for the FAQ and follow the steps:

• Former iPhoto and Aperture User grieving

  Before you convert it to El Capitan (ver. 10.11.6), I appreciate the help I havepicture and the opening.  Although the pictures replace actually I havethe Photo, there are situations where I liked having the deep characteristics of the opening.  After having not read all the subtleties, I learned the hard way that these applications would be will stop working during the execution of El Capitan.  i picture is not so much a problem, but losing Aperture is a bitter pill to swallow, especially considering what I paid for the application.

  The App store continues to send updates to I havepicture and the opening, but the OS does not allow me to apply.  Is it preferable that I delete these apps from my system (iMac), move forward with Photos?  At a minimum, what is the solution to stop doing updates?  In the ideal, is there an option somehow continue to use Aperture?

  Your expertise and your interest is really appreciated.

  Sincerely,

  Phillip McDowell

  You need to be a little more specific I have spin El Capitan and I always use Aperture. Certainly, it is no longer supported, but it certainly still works with El Capitan (I don't know if it still works with the new OS coming out this fall if). Besides, the fact iPhoto. Photos is installed by default, but it does not remove iPhoto - when you open a photo, you can just bring up the get info window by selecting the photo icon, then pressing command + I. Then modify the application you want to use with this photo - or all of them - to iPhoto.

• Migration assistant will consolidate iPhoto and photo libraries

  I just bought an iMac "towards the end of 2015" to replace my iMac 2011. I'm a Mac (MacBook Pro and iMac) user since 2005 and I am aware of the installation of the Migration Wizard when you first install a new Mac. However, for some reason, I have an iphotos library and a library of photos. Can anyone tell if migration assistant will consolidate in a single library or I have to do (manually?) before migration?

  Two follow-up questions (if you're still reading this...)

  iMovie is now only opens on my iMac 2011 (part of the reason why I bought a new iMac). There are projects that must still be finalized that it contains. Speculation as to whether the data migration is likely to result in my getting access to these existing projects? Worst case scenario would be that everything that is corrupt iMovie on my current iMac is transferred to the new machine. My guess is that what stop imovie to open 2011 on the iMac is not related to the data that make up the project, so that when I migrate to the new machine, I go back to my projects. Can anyone confirm this?

  Last question (base); What are the recommendations for what should be my time machine drive? I currently have 1 Tb internal, more an external of 2 to 3 TB of disk. With the new machine equipped with connectivity Thunderbolt that I will be in the market for a new external hard drive. because the new machine has 2 TB drive internal pot and am looking to get a disc hard thunderbolt of 3 - 4Tb, should I still 5-6 to time machine as backup (assuming I get nearby using all available space my on my internal and external drive)?

  Much appreciated for your advice.

  No, it won't merge.

  Using both programs such as libraries have different content that needs merging? When Photos import iPhoto library, it creates hard links to files, not copy, so they do not all the disk space.

  I can't respond to the #2.

  Your our backup drive should be two to three times the amount of data to back up.

• What is the advantage of using the Photos to iPhoto or Aperture?

  They are all the same?

  Photos is much better at sharing between devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac) that what is iPhoto. It's really good to keep all your photos accessible on all your devices; It's great if you take lots of photos with an iPhone and you want to "automagically" appear on your Mac. You can also synchronize all your changes between everything instantly.

  Adaptability of the photos is on par with iPhoto. I would like to say, it is a good replacement for iPhoto, as in almost every sense is as good or better.

  The opening is a very different beast. Organizational abilities Aperture and image adjustment capabilities (with curves, adjustments, etc.) were far beyond what the pictures offers today. If you are a serious amateur or pro photographer and openness really effect of leverage, and Photos is a big step backward. But for 95% of users, it probably isn't.

• Remove photos already imported into iphoto using several libraries

  Hello

  I am running iPhoto 9.5.1 and due to the large amount of photos that I take and trying to stay organized, I have multiple iPhoto libraries. I'm in a situation where I have pictures on a card of the camera, which belong to two different libraries. When I opened one, I see all of the available import photos (as I have never imported it none of them, but want to import some of them). When I opened another library, I see some already imported and some available import (as I already imported some). At this point, I want to delete only on the map, those that were imported, so that when I open the first library, the only photos showing import, are those who are new and have never been imported in the previous library. A bit complicated, I know, but I will not reproduce in several libraries. So my question... when I see the line of photos already imported into iPhoto, is there a way to select and iPhoto just delete them camera card? I tried, but I can't seem to make it happen. If not, does anyone have another suggestion how to proceed (if all goes well simply), making sure that I don't accidentally lose pictures?

  Thank you very much in advance for any help

  It's complicated! How many photos are on the map? To really have control, I would probably want to delete the photos using the finder. But for this, you have to have a master list of what to get rid from that should be kept. I think you want to close iPhoto before deleting anything.

  Fat Cat Software has a program called iPhoto Library Manager that really made these much easier questions for me. He made comparing libraries and move photos between libraries much easier. I don't think that you can use for your problem exactly, but you would be able to load it all into a library to be sure you had everything and then move or copy photos as needed. I recommend it if you plan to keep this multiple configuration of the library. http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iPLM/

• Library double (iPhoto + Photos)

  Hi all

  I've been struggling with little space HARD drive for a while now, so a few months ago I decided to finally begin to organize and sort my photos correctly, eliminating the double, bad pictures, etc.

  I released a certain GB (7 or 8) yesterday, so I was very shocked when I received the message "you do not have enough space" this morning. I went to check if the library had reduced in size and I noticed that I have not one, but two libraries: iPhoto Library and photo library. The former has not changed in size (always around 100 GB), but the latter has (it is now 93BG). I suspect the two libraries are the same, except that I was changing the photo library only since I installed El Capitan in March.

  Can I safely delete the iPhoto library or I'll lose the 'event' files I used from there? I can still see the pictures in a separate folder, so I'm not sure that they have been transferred to the new library correctly...

  What do you suggest me?

  Thank you

  Hey Martyroxx,

  I understand that you see two different libraries and fear that it may take more space than necessary. In fact, I came across something similar when I tried to clean my internal drive.

  An excellent article explaining how to operate the two libraries is Photos saves disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture Libraries.
  He explains how the two libraries will only use no extra space.

  See you soon!

• 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

• Why I can't mount images in InDesign from the 'images' as I did with "iPhoto" before?

  Why I can't mount images in InDesign from the 'images' as I did from "iPhoto" before?

  Browser multimedia lla only will show you photos from your photo library, if the library is your system library.  Check in Photos preferences > general, if 'use as a Photo library system' is UO greyedcrossed, as it should be.

  and the application must be fully compatible with El Capitan, or it can only show the iPhoto and Aperture libraries.  You may need to update your copy of inDesign. I don't know, if there is a newer version.

• Where is it save to save a photo library? Requirements for the external hard drive

  Apple support documents have been somewhat vague about the requirements for a player welcome photo library.

  It is not yet clear if Photos can run a file system, is not HFS +: this restriction is mentioned only for the system of libraries of Photos, which syncs with iCloud (https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/?lang=en#/pht211de786)

  By default, your system library is stored in the folder of images on your Mac, but you can move it to another location on your Mac, or store it on an external storage device. However, to use iCloud services, the external storage device must be formatted using the format Mac OS extended (journaled), also known as HFS +.

  But it is experiences during the migration of libraries, that Photos cannot migrate libraries iPhoto or Aperture libraries to a photo library, if is not filesystem HFS +.  It will try to create the library migrated on the system drive instead (probably because he can't create links hard disk) and generally not running out of storage.

  Apple less did today, confirmed that he is not sure store of the photo library in a synchronized cloud storage, see: update to iPhoto to Photos for OS X - Apple support

  If you store your photo library in a place that is part of a Cloud Computing service (for example, Dropbox, box or Google Drive), your library might be damaged by the synchronization process. So, you might lose photos.

  To see your photos on all your devices, you can use iCloud photo library. To back up your library, you can use Time Machine.

  I still have not found supporting documentation, that clearly indicates if a library of Photos can be stored on a NAS. If it cannot be used as a library of Photos of system.  For the opening of libraries or libraries of iPhoto, the recommendation of Apple was clear: use locally mounted volumes extended, Mac OS X for your Aperture library

  Does anyone found a similar document for the Photos?

  Is it possible to store original files referenced on iCloud by car or in a box?
