Two "photo library" after the update to El Capitan

Hello

I found two "photo library" file in ~ / images /, one with the old icon names "iPhoto Library", the other with a new icon of Capitan, called "photo library".

Created and last updated date match each other.

I guess that El Capitan duplicate my library during installation. I'm a little surprise to bite, it has not removed the old...

These files are huge: is it safe to delete the old one?

Thank you

These files are huge: is it safe to delete the old one?

Libraries to think big, but they share the storage for images and use less than the total size of the disk storage, see this support document:

Photos saves disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture - Apple Support libraries

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

If you delete the old iPhoto library, you won't win a lot of rear storage. It is save to remove the iPhoto library, but I wanted to wait burn bridges.  Wait, are you sure that the migration went well and no pictures are missing.

In addition, you may need to complete your projects in iPhoto, the projects do not migrate. How many Photos handles content and metadata for iPhoto and Aperture - Apple Support

And if you notice, that you do not like the pictures and want to return to iPhoto, you'll need your old library.

  • iMovie clips are original media events library after the update v10 and visible events in iMovie, but clips do not appear in iMovie

    I've updated to iMovie 10.  He created a new library.  When you use Show Package Contents, I see events and clips are original media.  When I opened the app, I see the events, but there are clips 0 indicated in each event.  How to recognize the clips?

    Hi there Jeffkant,

    Looks like you have imported content in your new iMovie library, but there is no actual clips showing events you have in your library. I thought there might be a problem with the new library, or something could have damaged the library when the import was made, so I would like to start by creating a new library, once again the disk inside your movies folder:

    iMovie (2013): work with multiple libraries

    If the problem persists with the new library, then I create a new user admin on your computer and see if you can reproduce the problem there.

  • After the update to El Capitan 10.11.6 I'm more able to use Excel

    I've updated a Mac Air to version 10.11.6. After the upgrade I'm more able to delete rows in Excel. The error is "Alert not enough memory" file is only 4.7 MB and air shows that I have 1 GB free memory. Is this a bug, and if so is there a work around available? I came to a standstill. worked quite happily on the sheet before the upgrade

    Try to reinstall the update by using this file: Download OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 Combo Update. It can solve the problem, but if it is not the case, then you must reinstall OS X. It is not a bug in Excel because I did not have such a problem arise on my system. However, an alert memory you reported is an OS X error alert that you have not enough memory to continue. Quit all other open applications to free up more memory. See if that helps. Also make sure that report is not disk space.

  • After the update recent import photos disappearednction. Just white where the photos were. Where can I find them?

    After the update new import photos disappeared during the «two processes» service Just white Windows where the photos were. Where can I find them?

    Got a solution - not ideal because I don't always know what's going on or why...

    So - I just encountered the same problem on my first import since the update.  I have a default to apply the average contrast curve to import.

    Fast/temp fix: in library view, select all the pictures, and then change the preset saved 'default' or 'zero '. or to expand the view, select the same default or reset.  Then change back to the average contrast curve... Might work for any option that you select, but that's what I used.
