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.

  • Transfer of the photo library to new Mac via iCloud

    I bought a new iMac to replace an old MacBook Pro.  Rather than a Migration Assistant, I opted to do a fresh install of things since the MBP had years and years of junk on it.  In any case, of the MBP, I downloaded the very large library of Photos to iCloud (which eventually took more than two weeks).

    On the new iMac, in pictures, I checked 'use iCloud' and ' download origiovals full resolution for this Mac. "   Now I see in the preferences in pictures (on the iMac), it now says "DOWNLOAD files 13 500 to iCloud.

    I'm confused by the present, since there is no native picture on the iMac, then what, exactly, he's trying to do? All photos should not be a descendant of the cloud, does not extend to it?

    Furthermore, if I deleted the file PhotosLibrary on the iMac and copied the file PhotosLibrary of my old MBP and continue to synchronize with iCloud, the process would be quite smart to know tha all these pictures are already in iCloud and don't have reuploaded (or may have duplicates of everything)?

    Life was so much simpler before decide me to (try to) link to the photos between my Mac, iPhone and iPad via iCloud.  Come on, Apple. "What happened to"it works"

    Furthermore, if I deleted the file PhotosLibrary on the iMac and copied the file PhotosLibrary of my old MBP and continue to synchronize with iCloud, the process would be quite smart to know tha all these pictures are already in iCloud and don't have reuploaded (or may have duplicates of everything)?

    Whenever you open a library to use with iCloud photo library, the Mac will download and compare all the pictures with iCloud.  He will try to avoid duplicates and probably succeed.

    If you have already invested a lot of work in your library on the MBP, if you have created projects - book, calendars, appointed the faces, it would be better to copy the library. The names of faces will not iCloud, also download your books and calendars will be missing.

    But if you don't need to save the labels of faces and projects, it should be faster to download the photos to iCloud.

  • How can I move photos from a Photo library on my Mac to a library of photos in an external drive?

    I have 10 GB of photos in a photo library on my Mac Air, which is running out of storage space. I would like to move the photos to another library of Photos in an external drive which already hosts most of my photo archives. How can I execute the move?

    Thank you!

    Marco.

    Copy the library from the internal drive to the external drive. You can then open the library on the external hard drive by double clicking it and check, if the copy does not work.

    Photos has no tools to merge libraries. You can use both libraries alternating, or export the photos of a library and import them into the other library.

    Or use the application PowerPhotos to merge the two libraries move photos from one library to another.

    You will need the full version and paid f PowerPhotos to do.

  • Missing originals after copying photos for a new mac external HARD disk library. How to fix this?

    Move the library of photos hosted on an external HARD during a new mac disc.

    I can open the app and import new pictures, but I can't change any of my previous photos because he complains that the original is not found. The "Use as system library" button is gray which implies that the current library of photos on the new mac is defined as the system library.

    I still have access to the external HARD drive that I imported a couple hundred new photos for the new mac.

    How can I fix?

    How did you set up your library.  You use a library "referenced"?

    If Yes, then you have lost the links with the original files.

  • Photo library no new phone

    Hi, I tried to figure this out for a while and I don't know what else to do.

    My iPhone has erupted recently. I knew that I backed up my phone the day before so I had no worries. When I went to the apple store to replace yhe phone, an Apple employee checked to see if my photos were always in my iCloud. He showed me the pictures on the computer. I had no worries. Wanting a fresh start, I put my iPhone as a new iPhone instead of restore point a upward. Yet, when I went to iCloud.com my photos weren't there.

    Are your iCloud/settings on sync photo library? Have you checked the Photos app?

  • After the transfer of the library to new Mac, all the songs are duplicated

    I got a new iMac and launched iTunes and signed on my Apple account, where all my music presented themselves as available in iCloud.

    I then transferred the iTunes library to the iMac for my old Mac laptop.  Now each song appears twice, once with the cloud, indicating that it is not on my computer but in the cloud and the cloud is dashed outline, indicating that the path on my computer is awaiting transfer to the cloud.

    I don't know if it's just another bug of iTunes/iCloud or if I messed up the transfer.

    Any suggestions?  Thank you!

  • iCloud photo library with new imac

    Hello

    I have about 30,000 photos in my iCloud library. I had to buy a new iMac earlier. I opened the Photo and it comes up with the right number of photos, a few pictures are loaded, others are white squares with the little cloud symbol in there.

    It seems that the program does not download anything. ICloud preferences are configured to download the originals. However, at the bottom of all the photos he says still 30495 photos download... When I open some pictures it start downloading it, then the total number changes, but I'm not anxious to open images, was waiting for them to download.

    It is still an action following the program to start download them all on my new iMac?

    Thank you!

    If you check the download for the Mac originals, photos full size will start downloading. Be aware that 30 000 pictures full size will take awhile to download.

    I don't know that's what you have set, but let a few hours before checking it in.

    Running an SSD internal.

    I got a Thunderbolt Laëtitia 1 TB external help to solve problems of space, love at first sight works very well and quickly to any folder and the size.

    But for the transfer of the library, it takes days! Go slowly upward and upward over time.

    Is this just a temporary framework of transfer? Passing complex data? It will speed up out of no where?

    Just a bit annoying!

    None of the above - it is poor to guess by the finder - patience is a virtue - let him go and he won't take nearly as long
