• 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)

• How to recover photos from iCloud in my library?

  For some reason, all my photos in my photo library have moved to iCloud and are no longer visible in my library on my macbook. How to make photos in pictures on my laptop?

  Your photo library must show the iCloud photo library, if iCloud is enabled in Photos > Preferences and you have opened the right library of Photos.

  You may have more than one library of Photos?

  Quit pictures, if it is running, and then press and hold the options while you cast again Photos.  You will see the library selector Panel.  It shows more than one library of Photos?

  If you see a different library here, try this one.

  Also open the preferences of Photos > Panel iCloud.  Check, if iCloud library is enabled.  You see a progress bar? Then, you may need to wait to download everything at the end, before you can access your iCloud Photos.

  

• ICloud using photo library for the first time

  I am considering switching to iCloud photo library for the first time - mainly so I'll be able to use the new functionality of memories in iOS 10. However, I have quite a large library of Photos on my Mac and I'm worried about the mistakes of synchronization, bugs and any damage my irreplaceable photos. I have a Time Machine backup, but each backup on which generally only lasts a week or so, and with a large library of errors can take some time to appear. Should I be worried? Are there precautions I need to take?

  In view of all the people who use it, there are very few messages on issues. Since you have a backup, you can still recover. You can consider to get a 2nd external and make a copy of your photo library in order to have 2 backups. Depending on the size of your library, you may need to purchase additional iCloud storage as free storage space is 5 GB. With a large number of photos, it will take much time to complete the synchronization. Some people have posted their s took 2 to 4 weeks. Our respective synchronization went well and we had no problem.

• iCloud Photo Library Download stuck after changing icloud account

  This is FYI if someone of another encounter the same problem, I've had.

  My daughter Mac and iphone used a common icloud account that has been set up for the family some time ago.   She had a lot of photos stored in icloud, through Photos.  We decided to create account it with his own icloud and itunes recently.

  The first question icloud was in its disconnection from the old account.  The message that you will lose pictures and videos that are not fully downloaded to the Mac we fear for a few days because there is no easy way that we could find to determine in advance what photos and videos were not fully downloaded.  So, we tried for these days download all photos and videos but did not seem to make any progress.  After a few days, we have bet that we could continue with disconnection and risk losing the photos and videos they would be still in icloud under the old account.  Then we saw on the screen depending on who told us that we will lose only 3 photos and 1 video - too bad that the screen has not come earlier.  So we disconnected.

  The second question icloud came after connected to the new icloud account and tried to get his Mac photos to sync up to pictures of icloud.  We spent 2 or 3 days waiting for them to update and 2 separate calls with Apple support but no resolution.  There were two additional things, I noticed: 1) the iCloud library update bar (under preferences/Photos/account) remained empty (i.e., no green progress bar) for 2 or 3 days indicating no progress has been made and 2) next to the heading 'ICloud photo library' was the message in red that I had 29 (then 28 then 27) days to download my photos to icloud prior to their removal.  It made me suspicious that it was a reference to the photos under the old account and I was connected to the new account.  So, today, I bet and disconnected the new icloud account and once again had the same 3 photos and 1 video message would be deleted, that I accepted.  Then I signed in to the new account icloud, got informed that I had too little space on the new account to all the pictures and videos to download, I opted for more space (paying), end connection, then pictures/properties/account and viola, iCloud library update bar now give me 1) a number of pictures to download and green 2) in the progress bar.

  So, to summarize:

  1. If you're worried about losing your photos (or other files) If you disconnect your icloud account, note 1) you should be able to recover if you reconnect to the account and 2) that there is a window that will tell you how much you will lose (even if have never heard you those who), and
  2. If the synchronization ends up with no apparent progress made (especially no count of how many must be synchronized or no visible 'green' progress) then a possible solution is to disconnect, and then reconnect to your icloud account.

  Don't forget to let Apple know it so that they can improve their service to the future- http://www.apple.com/feedback/

• CAN´t Time Machine restore photo library

  Hi all

  I upgraded to the El Capitan Yosemite. Before I made a backup of the files I wanted to with Time Machine, among them was the photo library. Everything went normally, when I tried to reset the library, 'walk back' in Time Machine, I selected photo library file and began to recover, but whenever I do this operation he reached a certain point and opens the Finder error message, as shown in the image below.

  I tried to copy directly to the disc and it pops up the same error. Already looked everywhere and still cannot find a solution. I already have all the permissions.
  None of the solutions encountered solved my problem.

  

  Translation of the error message box: "Finder has not completed the operation because it was unable to read or write data to"Biblioteca do Fotografias.photolibrary".

  (Error code - 36).

• Organization of photo library

  Hello

  I am in the process by putting my main workstation to Windows to Mac. I have a pretty big photo archive (110 GB), that I always organized in the folders as I want - year, photo taken months and I use Bridge and Photoshop for editing (cloud Creative). I really _want_ to take photos but I understand Photos on import organizes all the pictures of the Photoslibrary in folders by date imported. That makes me hesitate. I don't understand. Have tried Googling and Youtubing, but cannot decide what to do. My biggest concern is that if I want to return to using Bridge and Photoshop as my main workflow I'd on the photos in Finder folders organized by photographing year/month - is it possible to export all the photos in the photo library in Finder folders organized by photo date taken?

  Of course, another option is to use the photos without copy photos in the photo library. Is this a bad alternative? Is there any feature that I miss with the option?

  Help a total newbie on Mac out. I'm so confused.

  Pictures displays your photo library in two different views:

  1. The sight of Photos show you the photos organized by "Moments." A Moment is a group of photos taken on the same day in the same place.  The times appear firstly by capture date, oldest chronlogically.  You can change the display of the Moments to a view of collections or year for large groups of photos.  Collections are grouping related moments, so you will find pictures of holidays in a collection. The title of the collections and the moments will show catpture date and location, if your photos are tagged with GPS. I mainly use this view to access my photos to the capture date.  Collections and the 'Moments', years are saving me a lot of work, since the consolidation is carried out fully automatically.  I don't have to create folders named by date ranges and places on my own.
  2. The photos in the album 'Pictures' is sort by the date you imported, so that you can easily access the most recent import.

  And Yes, you can export your photos in folders named by date.  Among the export options is the subfolder option "name of the Moment."

  The Masters folder inside the photo library contains the original images, if you copy photos in the library, but it is not intended as a means to access pictures.  Always use the GUI of photos recover photos and pass them to external publishers.  To edit a photo in photoshop, you open the photo in edit mode and run the extension of "External editors" photo editing and select Photoshop as editor.

  and also: https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/?lang=en#/pht12e7a8015

  Of course, another option is to use the photos without copy photos in the photo library. Is this a bad alternative? Is there any feature that I miss with the option?

  Photos will work this way, but you cannot use iCloud photo library.

  Also, this is not well supported to use the pictures in this way.  Photos has no tools to reconnect the pictures referenced quickly, if you must move the photos to another drive. or if you restore a backup photos, because the leaning reader operation.  You will have a lot of work, if you need to replace your drive with the library or move it to a new computer.  So I can't really recommend.  If you want to manage your photos from the Finder, do not use the Photos for Mac application.

  I prefer to have mage Photos my photos, because it is easy to create albums of the purpose FRO specific to search for photos: the date of capture one titles and legends, the names of the people in the photos, the name of the scene.

  But it is to you, how you want to organize your Photos.  You can use a Mac without the help of pictures.

  If you like Adobe software, why not use Lightroom?  It supports the referenced pictures and integrates well with Photoshop.

• How to remove photos from my iPhone without deleting icloud photo library?

  My iPhone is full and I wanted to remove some photo to release some spaceso I supported the up to iCloud and I started to remove photos. ***? They are endangered to iCloud! Now, they're just gone. It's crazy! Image capture you can import to everywhere, but the function "delete after importing" seems to have disappeared. I'm sure this question has been beat to death, but how you remove photos from their phone without removing them from their photo library iCloud?

  So frustrating.

  Does anyone know of a solution to this?

  iCloud is a synchronization system, not just external storage.  Once you turn on photo library all you do with a photo is on ALL of your devices (including remove them).  See the last section in this article on how to recover pictures that you inadvertently deleted:

  iCloud: use iCloud photo library on your iOS device

  How to remove pictures and videos from a camera using iCloud photo library?

  When you delete a photo or video of your Photos app, also will not delete your photo library and iCloud iCloud storage. You can retrieve your photos and videos from the album recently deleted for 30 days.

• Release of the place on iPhone photo library

  I confess that I find the Apple handle iCloud and photo libraries really confusing way.

  Currently, I only 2.8 GB of available storage on my iPhone and want to free up space. So, if I go to settings > general > storage & use iCloud > manage storage (in storage), it tells me that Photos & camera uses 893 MB of available space.

  Yet.

  If I go into settings > Photos & camera, set to iCloud photo library and optimizes storage and Upload iPhone to my photo stream are all enabled.

  Which does not mean that all my pictures and videos should be stored in iCloud and that therefore my storage should be 0 (or near enough), no 893MB?

  I tried to delete the photos and remove about 100 old and new (I don't take photos if often from new ways a month ago), but this does not seem to make any dent in the 893 MB (and yes I removed them from the recently deleted folder).

  This is how it is supposed to work or is it possible to recover this 893MB?

  iCloud library isn't Cloud Computing to check-in service. The primary purpose of iCloud photo library is to provide a single source where your pictures taken leave of any device will be automatically shared with all devices and computers signed on the same with iCloud library iCloud account signed in.

  iCloud photo library manages your dynamic storage. Removal of the photos from your camera permanently deletes in the world. But if your global library is more than 893 MB (which is likely), the number will not come down. iCloud provided as many pictures optimized for your device as possible, the rest is miniatures.

  Here are some articles to support that may help you understand iCloud library works:

• I lost "photo library", how do I restore it?

  I just tried to open the application 'Photos' (or icon) on my Mac and received a message that says "Photos could not find the system 'photos library.photoslibrary' how can I do to recover it?  I have about 10,000 photos which are lost!   I run a separate hard disk as a time machine which is connected permanently, but I've never had to use it before.  Any help would be appreciated.   Mike George

  Photos first launch with down option and check to see if there is more than one library in the open window:

  

  If it is not shown it follow these steps:

  Download and run to find any file to search for a file named "historicalmarker.plist" in the name of the file. It is a file that is found only in the library of Photos.

  FAF can find areas that Spotlight can not as invisible folders, system folders and packages. If there is a library of pictures hidden somewhere on your harddrive FAF will find.

  Finally, if you still can't find the library, go to your pictures folder and launch Time Machine.  Go back until you see the library of Photos in the pictures folder.  Select it and use the restore button:

• iCloud Photo Library used Incorrect storage

  Hi all

  I have the following problem with iCloud storage of photo library:

  So before you save a 10 Min video I used 1.5 GB on iCloud storage. I recorded the video and takes 3 pictures, I uploaded the video to Youtube and deleted photos and recently deleted, I Wen to iCloud photo library and now I had 3.8 GB used but the video isn't there only 3 pictures, does anyone know how to recover this space?

  You said that you have downloaded the video on YouTube.  Why the video would be in iCloud if you do download in iCloud?  I understand you correctly?
