Re: iphoto to photos problem
Did you do do what I mentioned first - Boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down), select Disk Utility and Repair permissions and Repair Disk. Reboot normally and try Photos again.? Is it a USB3 external drive? iPhoto worked perfectly immediately before doing the migration from the external to Photos? What iPhoto Photos libraries are now listed in his Pictures folder what file size are each? 1. Photos Library.photoslibrary 2. iPhoto Library.photolibrary If they are similar file sizes, do the images display correctly in iPhoto if you double-click the iPhoto Library.photolibrary?

Re: iphoto to photos problem
Hi Ronni, Just asking ...why would I do a re-boot into Recovery when the Photos library is on the external drive? Since all this happened he had to completely clean off his computer ( it was filling up space when he was doing nothing...one of the reasons I took off his photos) So he has a clean drive... and he no longer has iPhoto app on it. The iPhotos library now has iphotos.migrated rather than iPhoto library.

transfer non cloud eligible music to iPhone
Hi everyone, I would like to transfer some non-iTunes tracks purchased online for elsewhere, weren’t on iTunes ;-(. but how to do this. They are on my laptop, they show up in iTunes with the crossed-out-cloud icon. with the iPhone plugged in via usb and showing in iTunes I can’t click and drag, can’t use add to phone, manage music manually seems to have gone, probably as I work through the cloud… Can it be done?

Re: transfer non cloud eligible music to iPhone
Interesting question Brian, and I have a variation. Is there any way of preventing iTunes starting up and from transferring tracks from sound files on, say, a usb thumb drive when the thumb drive is plugged into the USB port of my Mac Book Pro with latest operating system installed? I want to listen to recordings without having the content transferred into my hard drive or to some server run by Apple in heavens knows where.

Re: iphoto to photos problem
Hi Rosemary, My comments coloured purple in Situ below On 26 Jul 2015, at 5:07 pm, Rosemary Spark arkaysp...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Ronni, Just asking ...why would I do a re-boot into Recovery when the Photos library is on the external drive? Why?: Because the MacBook Pro has the iPhoto Photos applications, Preferences, Hard Links to all media assets in the iPhoto Photos Libraries that are on the external drive. (Actually I would have done a Repair Disk Repair Disk Permissions on both the Internal Disk the External Drive). Since all this happened he had to completely clean off his computer ( it was filling up space when he was doing nothing...one of the reasons I took off his photos) A reason to have done a 'Repair Disk' 'Repair Disk Permissions' before. So he has a clean drive... and he no longer has iPhoto app on it. Photos for OS X requires iPhoto v9.6.1 to be able to make the transition/import/update from iPhoto to Photos. The iPhotos library now has iphotos.migrated rather than iPhoto library. Are you sure it is iphotos.migrated NOT - iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary”? If it is named iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary Double-Click on the iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary in Home Pictures folder You should then see this message: “Your photo library has been migrated to Photos. You can open it in iPhoto, but any changes such as editing or adding new photos will not appear in the Photos app. and the 'Open Photos’ button would be BLUE for you to click. --- After a successful transition/Import/Update from ‘iPhoto' to 'Photos for OSX’ - you should have these two libraries in your Home Pictures folder iPhoto Library.photolibrary Photos Library.photoslibrary Rosemary, as you have not answered the questions I've asked in my previous emails I'm really unable to help you any further. I can't guess what steps have been done and what files library sizes etc are on the MacBook Pro or External Drive (or if the external drive is formatted 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)’ “Ignore ownership on this volume” and everyone has read/write permission). And connected via a fast hard wired connection) for me to be able to give advice and support. To help via email is difficult enough, without questions being answered and all relevant information being given to people who try to help, it is near impossible to advise how to correct the problem.
