• 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.

  My friend has a newer iMac running ElCapitan.

  He has an iPhone 6 and wants to create photo collections on his mac and upload them on his iPhone.

  When he tries the photo library iTunes is grayed out.

  Suggestions?

  Hi Jim Climo,.

  I understand that you are looking for help with synchronization of photos from an iMac to an iPhone, but you see not options for it in iTunes. I know it's nice to have your photos updated on all your devices, so I'm happy to provide advice to help with this.

  From what you described, your friend might consider using iCloud photo library, allowing photos stay up to date on all the devices that made possible it. You can learn more about this service here:

  iCloud photo library - Apple Support

  Otherwise, this article provides help with synchronization manually your photos:

• 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

  You have iPhoto 9.6.1? If not see if you can get it - can not update iPhoto because it is not available in the App Store

  Then clean your iPhoto library - Notes on the migration of an iPhoto for iPhoto to Photos for Mac library

  Then drag the library own icon in the Dock to migrate again from Photos

• To a new Mac to iCloud photo library

  I bought a new Mac and you want to migrate my iCloud photo library to the new machine. Currently, I have all my photos stored on my old mac and plan to move the library of photos of the new machine.

  I have 650 GB of photos, so I don't want you must synchronize all the photos again to iCloud. Is there a safe way to migrate my photos for the new iMac?

  The best way is to connect the systems or use a DHM in mac OS extended (journaled) format and drag the photo library intact as a single entity of the original system in the new system images folder and then launch the Photos on the new system

  The new Mac will say it's download to ICPL but it I actually just make sure everything is in sync - it takes time, but less than a download

• Pictures on a new iMac won't start - he's trying to fix the photo library after the migration of my old iMac.  The two are running El Capitan

  Photos on my new iMac won't start - get an error message after trying to fix the photo library.  I just migrated all of my old iMac a new aid of Time machine backup.  Both are running OS 10.11 (El Capitan).

  Get an error message after trying to fix the photo library.

  What does this error message say?  Photos crash or exit gracefully?

  Where your iPhoto library that Library stored? In your pictures folder, or on an external drive?

  Try to copy the library of Photos directly without Time Machine. Connect the two Macs using your network and copy the old Mac to the new library, well as signed in on your new Mac.

  Then try to open this copy in Photos.

• Cannot repair the photo library. The best way to restore from iCloud library?

  The photo library of the system is damaged and cannot be repaired.

  It is said "Photos has attempted to repair the library"Pictures Library 2015 ", but can not open it." .

  
  

  I first met problems with this library a week before and at the time where I could repair and open the library successfully, but lacked a month value of photos.

  Given that it was successfully in the iCloud library, I left it to re - sync - but this process suspended several times before the end, and the photo library of the system now seems to be permanently damaged.

  I have no project of marked or impression of faces in the photo library of the system, then I would be happy just to restore from iCloud.

  My plan is to put in place a new - empty - library and then that designate the library of the system.

  If I understand this right, the new (empty) system Photo library will now resynchronize with iCloud and will copy all the contents of this library of back to my Mac.

  Is this correct? It is the most effective way to restore my library?

  And while I'm here - what is the best way to manage a very large library? I had my photo library become corrupted ten three or four times over the past years and have found it necessary to divide into single years to prevent this. I overlooked this piece of household by the end of 2015, and now it's happened again... Surely, there must be an easier way to manage libraries of images of several years?

  Is this correct? It is the most effective way to restore my library?

  Yes, if you don't have a useful upward on your Mac.

  How do you call a large library, I've never had a corrupt Library, I think that your problems are not the result of the size of the library, but rather something else. From my experience it is recommended to maintain a local upward, I use Time machine, but also have a second to the top using a third-party backup solution.

• How can I delete my photos in the photo library of iCloud?

  I placed my entire photo library - some 40 GB in iCloud photo library.  Everything seems to work quite well.  I keep the originals on my Mac.  I noticed that the optimized on my iPhone and iPad versions are beginning to produce a tightening of the memory on the last two.  I want to do is delete my iCloud photo library and start over with a subset of my main library - just five years with a value of photos that are about 10 GB.  How to achieve this?

  Make sure any time original photos are on your mac and iCloud library off on all devices - will delete all the photos in iCLoud in 30 days - then set the library smaller that the library system and turn on ICPL and the new smaller library will be transferred to ICPL

• Confused about the disk space with the photo library

  I understand that Photos uses hard links, and that therefore the photo library should not take much more space than the old Aperture library. But in a sense, I think that's not strictly true, and ' t actually takes this amount of space.

  My current photo library is 174 GB. The old library of opening that I imported in April is 155 GBs I have a couple of other files in images, representing perhaps 10 MBs. Finder reports my folder of photos using 330 GBs.

  Worse still, the disk hard integer (which is 500 GB) said I have only about 8 GB of free. When I look at the files that take the place, it seems that the GBs 330 is exact, so the vast majority of the use of the disk is duplicated libraries.

  I kind of thought maybe I had actually an extra GBs 155 or something, because old files of opening were now linked to the photo library. But this doesn't seem to be the case.

  Can someone explain this to me? I want to blow the Aperture library, because I have no intention to never use Aperture again, but I'm afraid that there are files in this library that have never in Photos, so duplication.

  Thank you!

  My current photo library is 174 GB. The old library of opening that I imported in April is 155 GBs I have a couple of other files in images, representing perhaps 10 MBs. Finder reports my folder of photos using 330 GBs.

  Storing hard linked files is reported incorrectly.

  This is because the hard linked files are identical to the original files, and so the storage is counted twice by the Finder.

  See: Six colors: the (hard) link between iPhoto and photo

  The library of Photos that is created from your Aperture library should have approximately the same size as the original opening library, but the image inside the library are stored on the same disk as the same pictures blocks in the original Aperture library.

  But once you start working with the new photos of library, more links will break for the preview images.  If you change a photo, a new preview will created, and who will no longer be linked to the preview in Aperture. It will be saved there less storage, so. Also, if you used a custom size for previews in Aperture, the new extracted in pictures will need extra storage.

  Or, if you use iCloud library synchronization with iCloud may break references.  Original on your Mac could be replaced by iCloud original during synchronization and verification duplicates.

  If you no longer use the Aperture library, move it to an external drive to free storage on the internal drive.  If you discover missing photos in the photo library, you can access the Aperture library on external drive as well.

  See this document on what kind of reader to use: use locally mounted volumes extended, Mac OS X for your Aperture library

  I am owner of a MBP and I created an additional user to my father on the Mac and its code of Apple-related. I created a new library of Photos, linked to its own ID iCloud and imported some 10 years of his photos on the photo library of his account. It will take several days to download.

  Now, I disconnected from his user account and I'm on my own user account.

  Question: the Mac will download his photos to the iCloud while my user account is only open?

  Thank you!!

• How migrations (El Capitan) not come to the photo library?

  Hello

  I want to use the Migration Wizard to move my user account for my MacMini BUT put the photo library on a separate hard disk from the system drive.

  My MacMini has two internal drives, the library is huge.

  The MacBook (early 2008 - running Snow Leopard) old a MacMini (late 2009 - El Capitan cool running).

  How migrations (El Capitan) not come to the photo library? It seems to only be set for the entire account.

  If I do this, put the library on a separate disk. How to use Time Machine to back up the library?

  The separate HARD disk transfer photo library, and then delete the disk that you are migrating.

  Time Machine backup disks all connected, unless you put them in the list of exclusions.

• What does the option "copy photos to the photo library?

  I explore this now app Photos (worst name ever) and I wanted to import photos in Photos. The problem for me is I want to let the pictures where they already are. I'm not interested in a database or the system that hides the pictures of me in the finder. I want to be able to right click and reveal in finder - "export image" is a terrible choice.

  So, I see an option to check in the preferences. It reads: "Copy pictures to the photo library" but has no explanation as to what that means or does. This is what it will move my photos if I select copy? (their disappearance from the original file)? It will resume photos - clutter up my drive? If we make a copy and I update the original in Photoshop - it will reflect this change in the Photo?

  So many questions and I can not find an answer to any place. Even the help files had nothing that I could find.

  It reads: "Copy pictures to the photo library" but has no explanation as to what that means or does. This is what it will move my photos if I select copy? (their disappearance from the original file)? It will resume photos - clutter up my drive? If we make a copy and I update the original in Photoshop - it will reflect this change in the Photo?

  Default is 'Copy photos to the photo library' enabled.  Then the pictures will do exactly that. Any Photo that you import pictures is copied in the photo library and managed by pictures. You can remove the original outside the library after you have verified that it imported properly.

  If you disable the option, pictures reference the file in its original location and does not copy it.

  This configuration is not recommended because you have to manage photos on your own. If you delete photos of Photos, you must delete the original outside yourself. You cannot use iCloud photo library with referenced files and if dot nee restore you from a backup library will need films to another drive, you will need to manually reconnect all originals. It is subject to errors.

  If we make a copy and I update the original in Photoshop - it will reflect this change in the Photo?

  It will not work. Two Photos will ignore changes to Photosho or lose the connection to the original file. To use an external editor in pictures use extensions to change Photos photo editing panel. Let the pics to send the original to the external editor.
