• 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.

  

• Vs iPhoto photos

  When Photos for Mac was introduced, it was installed on my Mac, but I still have iPhoto. How can I get rid of iPhoto and its library connected (so-called Photos has all my iPhoto library and more?)?

  How can I get rid of iPhoto and its library connected (so-called Photos has all my iPhoto library and more?)?

  There is no need to be in a hurry to get rid of iPhoto and the iPhoto library. The image to the iPhoto library files are stored in the same place as image files in your photo library, so both libraries together share storage, see this link: Photos saves disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture - Apple Support libraries

  You can take your time to check, if all the photos in your iPhoto Library migrated well library and if you need to copy captions or titles of your iPhoto Photos on events.

  Also your smart albums and books or calendars may not have been migrated completely, see this link: How Photos handles content and metadata for iPhoto and Aperture - Apple Support

  If you have iPhoto 9.6.1 you can always launch and compare libraries.

  When you are finished, make a backup of the iPhoto library and the iPhoto application and then simply delete them using the Finder. Then empty the trash.  He will not free storage however.

• iPhotos, photos, iCloud?

  I just transferred my huge library of iPhoto (120GB) to Photos app on my iMac, which is not sync to iCloud, but they are all stored on a local hard drive.  I also have iPhone where I backup all of my Photos on iCloud (25 GB) - and can see all these when I go into the Photos on my Macbook Air, where I don't store any separate photos.

  My question is (and I tried Googling and forums search) - if I turn now on iCloud sync on my iMac, photos from the iMac Photos get uploaded to iCloud Photos?  Then the pictures in the iCloud for my phone download on my iMac and get them merged into the local library?  And what of my phone and macbook air?  Can see all the photos of my iMac on the macbook Air (not on the phone, I'm going to assume that this is a one-way synchronization to iCloud only?).

  I'm trying to find the best way to consolidate somewhere, all my pictures from my phone and my iMac...  Without all these transfer to my macbook air does not take valuable storage capacity.

  Thank you!! (And my apologies, I am a newbie in the forums, where my question is not worded correctly!)

  When you enable iCloud photo library on multiple devices, pictures of these separate devices will download to iCloud photo library to create a photo library unified in iCloud. And all the photos that you upload to iCloud photo library will be uploaded to all devices that use iCloud photo library.

  The library will be updated to be the same on all devices.  Do not enable iCloud library on where you don't want to have all your photos uploaded to devices.

  You could disable iCloud photo library on your MacBook Air, or use the "Optimize Mac Storage" option.  While the MacBook Air will only download small and optimized your photo versions and does not store the originals of complete sizes.

• .apalbum files in iPhoto/Photos

  I am running Yosemite 10.10.5 on a Mac mini (mid-2010). 2.66 Ghz Intel core 2 duo 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3.  Updated since the Mavericks in April 2016, now trying to "Restore" saved from the clouds Zip files (so I can wipe) and we found a lot of files .apalbum.  Although I know that these are files of the opening, I never had Aperture, only iPhoto (v9.6.1) & then Photos (v.1.0.1), with the upgrade to Yosemite.  My questions are the following: (1) are these .apalbum relevant/necessary files to my iPhoto & photo files?  (2) if so, how could they be opened without opening?  or (3) If no, why they are there and can I blow them before restoring my backups?

  Chances are that you do not have a usable backup - so far that no base backup is working on an iPhoto or a library of Photos - you have a local backup? Why do you need to restore a backup?

• I've migrated my iPhoto pictures libraries. I can now delete old iPhoto library?

  I've migrated my iPhoto pictures libraries. I can now delete old iPhoto library?

  I don't want my pictures taking up twice the amount of space as before!

  Yes, but the multimedia files are hardlinked and do not take place twice.

• 1.5 vs 9.6.1 iPhoto photos: features and capabilities

  1.5 vs 9.6.1 iPhoto photos: features and capabilities

  There is an excellent summary of the differences provided by Old_Toad for advice.

  There was no justification provided by Apple for all the functions that they took?  If there is, can you point me to what I would consider.  There are a number of these functions that I use on a regular basis.

  There was no justification provided by Apple.  Since the introduction of Photos Apple has added several features and will probably add more in the future if there is enough feedback.

  Then tell Apple what missing features you want restored or new features added in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html.

  There are a number of workarounds available in the Photos for Mac user tips section for various features that were left out.

  

• How do you delete photos imported from a Macbook Air?

  I have a lot of imported pictures that I want to delete but I tried to delete, but they will not remove.

  Can anyone help I need space for other documents.

  Are they in the iPhoto, Photos of the app application or elsewhere?

  How have you tried to delete and what happened when you did that?

• Could not find iPhoto/Photos to import into Lightroom

  Hi-

  I'm new to Lightroom. I downloaded the creative Amazon Cloud literally last night. When I click on the "Import" button, it evokes the access to the essentially all of the files on my computer with the exception of the pictures that have been uploaded to iPhoto/photos for October 2015. I tried all means to find a link to these photos, and it's as if they don't exist to Lightroom. Outside of Lightroom, I noticed now that when I look at 'Images' in my Finder window, there are all my old photos (before 10/2015) and a file called "iPhoto library" and a file called "photo library". None of these files can be opened from the finder. If the photo is opened, all the images are there.

  I feel like there is something corrupt going on behind the scenes that is bad orientation of my photos. Any advice would be much appreciated!

  -ALlison

  Right-click on the photo library, and then select "view the contents of the package. What happens will be many subfolders. One of them will be named Masters. There you will find all your images. But LR cannot access it from this file/folder of the package. You will need to copy or move the Masters folder to another location on your hard drive for LR to see.

• 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.

• 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!

• 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.

• IPhoto/photo storage

  I have a MacBook Pro and upgraded to El Capitan and iPhoto and photo apps are both filled with photos. Photos in each of the applications consume storage?  iPhoto has 60 gigs and pictures has about 80 concerts can iPhoto removed and it will have a negative effect on the application "Photos"?

  Thank you!

  Yes it can be deleted, no it has no effect on the Photos app.

  That said, he will not recover 60 gigs of space for a little magic of unix, the two libraries to manage the same original files on the hard drive, but it will recover the space.

• copy of iPhoto photo book?

  I have a full book in iPhoto 7.1.5 (on my iMac OS X 10.6.8).) Unable to print as not taken in charge more. I have the new MacBook Pro Retina El Capitan 10.11.6.

  Can I transfer book?

  A way to get the printed book without restarting a new?

  Thank you

  Boru8

  If you could the way to do is to copy the library containing the book on the new computer and open it with Photos. However, as the book is to make the system changed it is no way do not move the book you want to do. Out of a pdf file of the old iPhoto and a 3rd party printing service is the way to get your printed book.
