• Move photos on external hard drive after migrating from iPhoto to Photos

  I have a lot of photos and have you run out of space on my MacBook.  After doing some reading, I discovered that I should be bale to move my library to an external hard drive, then the point of Photos to run from the external hard drive.

  I have recently updated to El Capitan, and as part of this upgrade that my photos have been migrated from iPhoto to the Photos.  I just checked the current location of my library and I found two.  One is named Photo library and which resembles the pictures one use which makes sense.  However, I also have a file called iPhoto library and it is listed as a library migrated under file type.

  My question is, when I copy my pictures on the external hard drive also I copy the migrated thus iPhoto library?

  My question is, when I copy my pictures on the external hard drive also I copy the migrated thus iPhoto library?

  Yes, if you want to free up your internal disk storage moving two libraries of the iPhoto library you have migrated your external drive and the new library of Photos.

  The two libraries share the storage for the original images and previews.  As long as one of the libraries is always on the internal disk and using storage, storage is not released: see: Photos saves disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture - Apple Support libraries

  Drag the two libraries to your external drive, then double click the pictures library to open it in photos and test it. Once you are convinced that the copied library works well, you can delete the original in the internal drive.  Do the same for the copied iPhoto Library if you have installed iPhoto.

• Migrating from iPhoto to Photos

  I just upgraded to El Capitan and want to start using the Photos, I have followed the procedures to migrate my old iPhoto library Photos with my library of Photos appointed to reside on another internal hard drive.  I tried several times, but shortly after the migration has started I got the message that there insufficient space disc - 10 GIG necessary.  The drive I'm migration towards had 240 available concerts.  I tried to reformat the drive and emptied of all other files so that its complete 250 concerts are available, but the process still hangs on to 8% with the same message - not enough disk space.  Can someone give me an idea as to what is the problem?

  What is the format of the second internal drive where the library s iPhoto stored? How many free space your main internal drive there? What is your iPhoto library

  And since there is no single move procedure and what you are doing is not working, it would be useful for you to actually share the procedure that you use

• Migrating from iPhoto to Photos from another computer

  Hi guys

  I have an old Mac with Snow Leopard and 2 libraries iPhotos on it (a HARD drive, an external hard drive).

  I would like to transfer these libraries on the photo library to another Mac that sits on Yosemite and then upward

  So basically A Mac has not installed pictures and Mac B is not installed iPhoto.

  Is there a good way to do this?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  Manu

  Move the libraries for the new Mac (network, direct connection or DHM in Mac OS extended (journaled) format and drag them to the Photos icon in the dock to migrate each)

• I've recently migrated my iPhotos to Photos, perfectly worked for a few weeks, but suddenly today, I can't open my photos in pictures

  I recently migrated from iPhoto to Photos worked perfectly and I used it for a few weeks, but today I can open my pictures suddenly not in pictures. What's wrong?

  No idea since we can't see you - you must provide details - why you can't open pictures? What is going on? What is you get the exact error message? What version of the operating system and Photos you have?

  and there's a photo for Mac forum, which is where you can ask questions Photos - I will ask to be moved your message

• understand the flow of photos from iPhoto library photos vs vs

  I just transfer a bunch of photos from an external hard drive in my iPhoto library.  I created several new Albums right here.  The problem is that my photos are not displayed when I click on the Photos icon on my menu bar.  Also new albums and photos will appear not on my iPad via the photo stream.  I don't understand how the 3things: I picture library, photos, photo stream, work-sharing app.  How to do all of my albums (and the photos in these albums) duplicate in all (or appear to) all my devices?

  Migrating from iPhoto to a Photos library library affects only the photos in the iPhoto library in time. Photos and albums added to the iPhoto library after that will be in the iPhoto library unless you also import the photos into your photo library and set and fill albums.

  Albums are not spread through my photo stream, only by iCloud photo library.

  The new model is of approximately:

  * Use only the Photos app and the library of Photos on your Mac (s). After the initial migration, ignore iPhoto and its library.

  * Use iCloud photo library as the repository ignoring my photo stream unless you have devices that don't support icloud photo library (for most older iPods). You may need to increase your storage plan iCloud to organize all your photos and videos.

  * Use the Photos app on your iPhone (s) and iPad (s) with iCloud as library active. Again, my photo stream is necessary only if you have devices that don't support icloud photo library. You can use the option "optimize storage' to save the storage space on your iPhone (s) and iPad (s).

• photos from iPhoto import photos

  Upgrade to El Capitan, all of my photos in iPhoto doesn't import it to Photos (only a 70 random 16 000 imported photos) and I can't seem to import manually as 'iPhoto Library' is grayed out when I try to import. All photos (16,000) are saved on an external drive. How can I get the Photo to read photos iPhoto from the external drive?

  You can have more than one iPhoto library. Normally, when the photo is launched, it assumes that your main iPhoto library is on the boot volume, in your pictures folder.

  Check the size of the PhotosLibrary file created in your users > your account > pictures folder. Move it out (you can remove it later). Pictures of launch with down option, select the main iPhoto library to migrate. Give it time, it is a slow process.

• Migrating from iPhoto

  I have a late 2008 15-inch MacBook Pro (5.1) with 8 GB RAM on OS 10.11.6 Kingston SATA SSD 480 GB disk without any problem, except that I can't get the Photos app to import my iPhoto (version 9.6.1). library  The process starts off pretty easily, but it stalls repeatedly when it is finished by about 30%.  The library is GB 112.5.  The SSD has 46,85 GB of free space.

  Any suggestions?

  Thanks in advance.

  The library is GB 112.5.  The SSD has 46,85 GB of free space.

  Maybe that's the problem. While the Photos is the upgrade of the iPhoto library it will take plenty of work, even if the Photos are going to try to save the storage by using hard links to the image files in your iPhoto library.

  I will try to make the migration to an external drive.  Copy your iPhoto library to an external drive, Mac OS extended (journaled) format.  Then run the iPhoto Library first aid tools on the copy of the iPhoto library.  There may be a corruption which prevents migration. See post of the old Toad on the reconstruction of the library: Re: iPhoto crashed on a number of occasions, but 2 times also appears to remove several events, including one I'm editing. When I go to re-import the last event, it shows them as already here. But I can't find them.

  The copy of the reconstruction of the iPhoto library drag Photos icon in the Dock, then let the pics to update the library.  It works now?

• Transfer pictures from iPhoto to Photos

  I transferred all my photos in iPhotos pictures when I first put in place. I imported more photos from my iPhone in iPhotos. How can I transfer the of iPhotos Photos?

  You'd better transfer your photos directly in the Photos, when download you them from your iPhone.

  Photos don't have the tools to move photos from an iPhoto library into an already existing photo library.

  Now that the photos in your iPhoto library, export them iPhoto: select all new photos in iPhoto and use the command "file > export". In the export Panel set 'gender' to the 'Original '.

  Then import the photos exported in the Photos app.  Pictures of launch and use "file > import".

• transition from iPhoto to Photos

  I have several print projects on the road in iPhoto.  Initially, I learned that these projects will not pass to the Photos without any problems.  Maybe so, but I lose some of the formatting and layout when I do.  For example, a layout 6-photo on iPhoto turns into 2 pages of Photos and the text appears in a new font without formatting - e.g., italic, bold, etc.. To help work with the projects that I just upgraded to an iMac 27 ".  What I want to do is to find a download of iPhoto and continue to work in the old application, but I can't find a source for downloading.   Any thought of a download source or suggestions about the hoe maintain the formatting of iPhoto?

  You need iPhoto 9.6.1 - if you have it on any system you should be able to download it from the App store using the apple ID which is joined

• transition from iPhoto to Photos app on iMac

  My application on the iMac iPhoto became atomically Photos. How can I get Photos app on my iMac?

  The Photos.app will be automatically installed if you upgrade your Mac to Mac OS X 10.10.3 or a newer system.

  The system listed in your signature profile Mac OS X (10.5.2), does not support the new Photos.app.  What system currently installed?

• iPhoto or Photos?

  Which one should I use? I have both on my computer. I use OS X El Capitan 10.11.3

  Some of my photos (in each program) I can't edit. I click on edit and all the editing options are grayed out.

  

  I have also a large NUMBER of photos that are not displayed. They are a white box with nothing in it.

  

  Any idea what's going on? Where are my photos and what program should I be using? Does this mean photos are doubles and too much room in iPhoto and Photos?

  A question at the same time help

  1 you use is totally personal - support iPhoto has been interrupted for more than a year and one day he will stop working - for those who have only update every five years that is not a problem - if you install each update, it is - and Photos have more features than iPhoto and a stream of completely different work - so you fist need to make this decision

  2 - once you take a decision on the software you want to use, then you will need to provide clear symptoms and doubts, including the version and exact context

  4. with regard to space - not - when you are migrating from iPhoto to Photos both libraries use hard towards the same original photos links and previews same so little extra space is used - Photos saves disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture - Apple Support libraries

  5 - and you're three updates behind - your first step should be updated to OS X 10.11.6, the current version of the operating system - which might or might not help things but is a good idea

• How can I migrate iPhotos to Photos - reflection I did but I seem to have two libraries

  I thought that I migrated my Photos iPhotos and then my library to iCloud, where I have more than 26 000 photos and video. Now, I'm moving the photo library on an external drive. On my iMac in the pictures folder, there is a library of photos and and the iPhotos.migrated library. But on my macbook pro (which is currently my main computer) the pictures folder has a library of Photos and iPhotos library in the pictures folder. It does not specifically say 'iPhotos migrated' as it does on the iMac. So when I move the library of photos on the external drive and designate it as the system - there's something missing. I want to have my entire library of photos on the hard drive external and download all original there. But I did not all 26 000 more pictures on the local external hard drive - only in the cloud - even after checking the Mac's original download. I wonder if something was not working at the moment where I first migrated my iPhotos to the pictures library. All of the suggestions.

  Sorry, but 'something' is missing is not what we can answer - what exactly you see as missing and whence?

  When you migrate from iPhoto to the iPhoto library is migrated - changes if you open it using iPhoto Photos ask you if you want the iPhoto library or photo library and if you open the iPhoto migration library is deleted since you can now make changes causing it to be different from the photo library

  When you move with Photos or iPhoto library you break hard links, so all the pictures are copied to the destination

  If you have a library of Photos that is optimized shape iCloud photo library you must first download the originals

  I hope this helps - learn to give clear details of what you have and what is your question

• How to transfer pictures from iPhoto photo app /icloud app

  my photos on an external hard drive in iPhoto app, when I switch to camera app, there is no way to sync my pictures with iTunes, what do I do now?

  I want to transfer pictures from iPhoto for photo app, I want to synchronize my phone with iTunes, I have 50 GB iCloud because I don't have enough space for the pictures on the mac pro book / that's the reason why I have external hard drive storage photos in iPhoto app / and finally, iPhoto app is not God to keep photos and synchronize with iTunes no more?

  And finally, iPhoto app is not God to keep photos and sync with iTunes, not more?

  You can use Photos to keep your library and you can use iTunes to sync the photos in your iPhoto library or a library of Photos on your iPhone.

  Only, you can not use iTunes to sync photos to your iPhone, if you use iCloud photo library on your iPhone.

  But what application now do you use on your Mac to store your library of photos - news pictures for Mac application or you use iPhoto?  It's not quite clear to me your question, because you MENTION both applications.

  iTunes can sync photos of two applications for your iPhone, as long as the iPhone is not synchronized with iCloud photo library.
