• 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?

  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.

• After sleep, the photo library must be repaired

  I often sleep my iMac (El Capitan 10.11.2) and find in the morning that there is a window telling me that the photo library must be repaired, and I can fix it or quit. I chose the option "fix" several times, but that makes no difference. I talked to Apple support about this and was taken by the standard routine, but that changed nothing. Everyone comes through this?

  Hi rowlandfromromsey,

  Thank you for contributing to the communities of Apple Support.

  If you find that you need to repair your photo library after waking up from his sleep, there are a few steps that I would recommend who can help you find the cause of this behavior.

  First, create a new library and import photos as a trial and see if you get the same message. Assistance to the creation of a new library, see using several libraries in Photos.

  Another good step to try at this point is using the function of disk utility first aid to check your hard drive. See disk utility (El Capitan): check a disk or a volume for problems.

  You answer with the results of these two steps may help provide some following steps, too.

  Best regards.

  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:

  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).

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

• 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.

  This help page explains how the import options work:

• Facebook cannot access the photo library

  When I try (on a Macbook Pro) 'create album' or 'add photos' on the women's FB page, I can see, but cannot access its photo library.  Why?  I can, however, access the photos directory - unfortunately, uses Photo pictures are not stored there.   Apple told me that they no longer support iPhoto, but were instead switching to 'Photos '.  So that's where all the images are imported from the camera.  WTH?  It shouldn't be this difficult.

  When you use a web browser or any other application that uses the media browser, you can access your own library of Photos of system, but not of other libraries of Photos.  Only libraries can be designated as the library of the system at the same time.

  The photo library of the system will be available from the sidebar of the selector Panel of file like this:

  

• Deletion of images does not reduce the size of the photo library

  I deleted about one third of my images from my library of Photos (Yes, I went to the "Recently deleted" and clicked on "Delete All") but his 45 GB in size was not afraid significantly at all.

  Is there a hidden method or even the third parties who may release and utilities compact the photo library?

  Is your photo library a library iCloud with optimization of the storage activated?

  In this case, you don't have much control over the storage you use.

  Just to be sure - if you remove photos from albums, did you remove it using 'delete album' or 'remove... photos "?

  The key to delete only delete album - pressing command + delete will delete the library.

  And if your photo library is a migrated iPhoto library or an Aperture, the storage library won't be released, if you delete the photos in both libraries, because the photos in both libraries are connected by hard links.
