Unsatisfactory to migrate from library disk space

Dear ILife specialists,

I like to use iPhoto to manage my photos, but as the amount of pictures in my photo library photographer hobby grew to more than 90,000 (high-resolution) pictures. The library itself is about 455 GB. As my internal HD (640 GB) for my iMac 24 "2009 was in full, I had more accidents in addition to iPhoto.

So as advised I moved my library complete iPhoto to a hard drive 2 TB external. Tested the succesfull library iPhoto from the external hard drive and deleted the internal library. With the new free space my system worked better and I was finally able to update with the new application Photos El Capitan.

All successful, but now I want to open/migrate my iPhoto library located on the external hard drive to the Photos. But after 8% it says not enough space on hard drive while there is more than 1.5 TB of free space...? See screenshot.

Can you help me with a solution to migrate my iPhoto library large photos?

Hope to hear from any of you. Thanks in advance!

Greetings from Holland

Best regards, Tom

  • Help return to iPhoto + delete Photos library to recover disk space

    When the Photos were initially introduced, I didn't know what I would get in when I just clicked "convert to Photos" or whatever the wording was.

    A week in the new application I realized that it wasn't for me (lack of some key tools like iPhoto), so just started using iPhoto again instead

    -but only now I realize the new Photos app seems to be "hogging" lots of disk space:

    When I look under the images, I see my iPhotos current library clocking in at about 64GM.

    While the Photos library clocks (now are more used) in a 66GB even higher.

    My question: How do I clear all (assuming that duplicate) photos in Photos and get much needed storage space of hard drive?

    Is it save to just delete the folder from the library of Photos in my pictures folder or I have to delete all the photos in the Photos app?

    If you don't use Photos and has no pictures in you need to trash just the photo library - it will not save a lot of space because of the hard links that are used, but if you use any Photos, then there is no reason to keep the library autour and when you are ready to migrate again (you will need since iPhoto is not supported and an upgrade it) break)

  • Not enough disk space to convert the iPhoto photo library

    My wife iPhoto library has about 9 500 photos. She has a MacBook Air, which has limited hard disk space, so we put his iPhoto library on a SD card (which is still in its SD slot). We decided to convert the iPhone photo library. When the process is started, it happens about 4% on the progress bar when a popup said that there is not enough disk space to perform the task (said to 72GO). How can I complete this process? She wants to ensure its iPhone and iPad Air can all share all the photos via iCloud. Can I put the library of Photos on the SD card too? Once the synchronization of library of Photos with iCloud, not all large digital images disappear from MacBook Air and only a miniature remain (like on the iPhone and the iPad)?

    I decided to try the procedure on my original post on my MacBook Pro.

    I copied the Library.photoslibrary Photos of my MBP to an external hard drive connected to my MBP.

    I did an "Option" + then click on 'Photos' selected the "Library.photoslibrary Photos" on my external hard drive. This produces the following pop-up message:

    "This library contains items to download from iCloud photo library".

    "To download the complete library, delete the incomplete elements, then set this library as the library of the system preferences and activate iCloud photo library. This will disable iCloud photo library on other libraries. »

    "Delete the incomplete items" or "quit".

    I clicked on "Quit" and posted above.

  • After iPhoto deleting Library.migratedphotolibrary why not get all this disk space?

    I've migrated photos on my Mac (OS 10.11.2) months ago.

    I talked to AppleCare just before and I was told that I could remove the old Library.migratedphotolibrary iPhoto after confirmation of everything was in pictures and Photos Library.photoslibrary.

    I did, and they are, so I removed the old library thought I would free 113 GB of disk space on my MBP. The old library was the size and the new library is 128 GB because it has ceased to grow since the migration into Photos, and everything seems to be there.

    So I moved iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary into the trash and empty the trash. It took some time for the trash to empty! But once completed, instead of 113 GB of space to reclaim it seems that I only got back around 10 GB of space.

    Why is this? Were two libraries really sharing pointers to the same pictures?

    Thank you

    Hello.

    We can start from this solution.

    To start your computer using the last good known Configuration, follow these steps:

    1. Start your computer.
    2. When you see the message "Please select the operating system to start", press the F8 key.
    3. When the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, use the ARROW keys to select last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked)and press ENTER.
    4. If you use other operating systems on your computer, use the arrow keys to select Microsoft Windows XP, and then press ENTER.

    If this does not help, we think of something else.

  • If I bring in photos from Iphoto, I use more disk space on my hard drive. I don't want to replicate my entire file. I have 26000 photo photos in I.

    If I bring in photos from Iphoto, I use more disk space on my hard drive. I don't want to replicate my entire file. I have 26000 photo photos in I.

    You need to duplicate pictures unless you want to use the PSE as external editor for iphoto. In iphoto, your photos are stored in a library owner, which should never be marred with programs other than iphoto. Written to the iphoto library from outside iphoto is the best way to corrupt and lose all the photos it contains.

    So you can either set PSE as external editor and send the photos of in iphoto, or you export photos from iphoto to use them outside of this program.

    It's exactly what you expect.

    While iPhoto and the report of libraries of Photos using 400 concerts or more, it has the same 400 concerts. The two libraries called the original photos of their own through Unix hard links and share a few minor elements. So, screw up the iPhoto Library recovered space that was exclusively used by iPhoto only.

    This forum does not the letter nor did pay extra for punctuation.  Please try to write in complete sentences.

    Simply connect your external drive to your computer will redirect the import of files from the CD.  You don't always have enough space on your internal drive - at least that's what seems to be the case of the incomplete information provided.

    Full error messages are needed to accurately diagnose problems.

    There are a number of things you can do to- temporarily - free up disk space.  The only real solution, however, is to get a bigger internal hard drive.   You can move the data to your external drive, but if it's the data that you use frequently, slower access times may annoy you.  Therefore, I do not recommend that you move your My Documents folder in its entirety on the external drive, but you can certainly do this by following the related instructions. You can also move your iTunes folder there (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1364)

    • You can run Disk Cleanup (start > run > cleanmgr > OK)
    • You can reduce the size allocated for the restoration of the system to about 1 GB (right click on desktop > properties > system restore > settings)
    • You can disable hibernation (if you don't use it) (right click on an empty spot on the desktop > properties > screen saver > power > Hibernate)
    • You can disable the indexing of the drive, which will also speed up your computer a bit (http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp)
    • You can reduce the size of your Internet browser cache (depending on the browser that you use)
    • You can remove most of the $NTUninstallKBxxxxxx files $ following the directions here: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Hotfix_backup.htm (read the warnings in the gray box first)

    But none of these answers you will earn really large amounts of space for very long.  The term solution time is a bigger hard drive.

    In the meantime, download and run JDiskReport, that will show you graphically what files take up more space and seem to so indicate what files you must move it to your external drive.  If you want to move an application, you will need to uninstall and then reinstall it specifying your external drive as the installation location.  You can not simply move the files.

  • I receive a "Low disk space" message and to free up space (d) car which seems full of backup files dating from when I got the laptop in 2008.

    I receive a "Low disk space" message and to free up space (d) car which seems full of backup files dating from when I got the laptop. Now I also have the message 'the last backup impossible' because I don't have enough space on this drive.  He had originally 110 GB Local disk (d :)) and it fell to 7.44 MB of free space.) Can I remove the back of the 'safeguards' located in the 3 files and start on the 17/04/2008 right up to 2011-01.05 and just keep the last backup or removing the back will cause problems? Can someone help thank you.

    Hi KarenRoss56,

    You can try to remove the old files of backup from 2008 to 2010 and check.

    Note: When you delete these files and later if you perform a restore, you will not be able to get previous data. If you need one of these files, you can transfer the files to an external drive before you delete the system files.

    You can also use Disk Cleanup to reduce the number of unnecessary files on your hard disk to free up disk space and help your computer run more quickly.

  • Photos saving disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture libraries.  Should which library I use to remove old photos?  If I delete old photos in iPhotos appear in pictures and vice versa?

    Should which library I use to remove old photos?  iPhoto or Photos?

    If you migrated a library iPhoto to Photos and you want to release the storage, you should remove the pictures of these two libraries.

    Related photos storage only comes out, after that the last linked file has been deleted.  If you do not use more of the iPhoto library, move it to a backup drive. Then simply delete the photos of your new photo library.

  • Can save us from the Windows updates to another drive to increase disk space

    Hi I want to ask I can save the update of Windows to another example of player: as d ' drive, or an external hard drive, because the update are by default save to my c drive. And my c disk space becomes low.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

    Thank you for your query details.

    I also appreciate that fact that you want to save the updates of Windows on another drive or location in order to increase the free space in C; drive.

    Save updates of Windows on another drive location is not recommended because it can cause corruption in the system files which can lead to some unstable operating system. It can also affect Windows start the process.

    Updates are automatically downloaded into the subfolder "C:\WINDOWS\Software Distribution\Download".

    If you want to increase the disk space, I suggest you run Disk Cleanup and check if it helps.

    Please see this link:
    Delete files using disk cleanup
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/delete-files-using-disk-cleanup#delete-files-using-disk-cleanup=Windows-7

    It removes temporary files, empty the "Recycle Bin", and removes a variety of file system and other items that you no longer need.

    Note: When running Disk Cleanup on the disk hard if bad data files are found, all these data could be lost.

    I also recommend move your data files stored on drive C: to another drive to increase disk space.

  • 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.

  • Try to use the System Image to migrate from Windows 7 for SSD for boot upward

    Hello

    I have a new computer Windows 7 operting.   I'm trying to migrate my OS to SSD for faster boots, etc..

    I first tried various 3rd party applications such as EaseUS Partition Master and Reflect, all futile for unknown reasons.

    Now I'm having problems using the built-in tool "Create a System Image" Windows 7.

    The Image of the system seems to be created properly and is listed in the appropriate folder.   The next step is to use the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool to save the ISO file, then use this ISO on the DSS file.

    Unfortunately, despite all that I've read to the contrary, the file created by windows wasn't an ISO... it saved as a VHD file.   The download tool cannot copy VHD - only ISOs.

    Microsoft technical support suggested that I have post the question.   All the patches?

    Thanks in advance!

    What happens when you boot the system repair disc?  If necessary, you will need to enter your BIOS Setup utility and make your optical drive the first boot device.

    You have created the system image includes everything: the files of your operating system, your application to the program folder and your data.  Assuming that you have already used your system for awhile and so Windows, your installed programs and files total user more than 128 GB, the image does not fit on the SSD.

    If everything except your totals of less than 128 GB user files, then a possible scenario would be to backup all your files from user to some external medium data, confirm that the backup is valid, and then delete the files from the current hard drive.  Then make an image of system of what's left (which is now less than 128 GB) and restore that image on the SSD.  You create a new user profile and then copy your files from backup data on disk 1 to and link to your user profile in the user data (see tip below).

    Another alternative, especially if you have more than 128 GB used even without your data, is to do a clean Windows 7 on SSD install, reinstall all your application files, specifying as much as possible of the facilities is located on the 1 TB drive and your profile link to the data of the user on the 1 TB drive.

    This trick of sevenforums.com can help with the problem of having windows on the SSD and your data on the disk rotation:

    If you are simply wanting to save files HARD disk space in your user folders, you might consider this below in order to access the files in your library with the actually located files where you want to place. This way you won't have to worry about the potential problems that come with mobile user folder locations.

    To do a clean install of Windows 7 on your SSD, follow the instructions here to get a file ISO of Windows 7 to the same version of Windows 7 that is preinstalled on your computer: https://www.heidoc.net/joomla/technology-science/microsoft/67-microsoft-windows-and-office-iso-download-tool burn the image on a DVD (Note: you can not just copy the files, use the built-in tool to burn dvd of Windows 7 or free third-party tool like ImgBurn).  Use the product key from the label on your computer (not the key retrieved by using a key finder program) to activate Windows.  See https://techingiteasy.wordpress.com/2012/04/13/how-to-activate-windows-7-oem-license-using-a-retail-disc/

    If this all sounds complicated - it is, and I haven't provided all the details - you can consider getting the help of a local independent computer repair shop (not a chain of stores).  Just make sure you get a real installation of Windows 7.

  • 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?
