   Hi there,
   I use PowerPhotos. It can create new libraries, find duplicates, move
   photos from one library to another ...or merge them. They've been
   around since iPhoto and are still going strong. Pretty good support
   when things go wrong...even from driver error!

Thanks Daniel

Some creative ideas there. I can see how they would work. Thanks. 

We’re living in Beverley which is an awful lot hotter than down the hill at the 
moment, so I’m needing to entertain myself with inside projects.

Re: [WAMUG] Splitting iPhoto library connected to iCloud

[Daniel Kerr via WAMUG]

Hi Tim

There’s probably a few ways you could tackle this (And others may have some 
other options),..but the way’s I would think of doing it would be as follows - 
(And this can depend on how many albums and things you have).

1. You could do as you mention, and stop it sharing with iCloud then start it 
again. But sometimes this can look like it’ll take ages to stop and restart it.

2. Duplicate the whole “Photo Library” in your Pictures folder. Once duplicated 
you can rename it to something like “Photo Library Archive”. Then open this new 
one you’ve just made and remove all the current photos you have in your iCloud 
Library (the main one). And delete all the new photos. This will make this one 
your “archived” old photos. So nothing new in this one.
Then open your “main” library and remove all the old photos from this one, just 
keeping the new ones you want.
This would then give you two Libraries. Library A being the “main one synced 
with iCloud” and Library B being the Archived photos. Both would then be 
different sizes.

3. Create a new Library and call it say Photo Library 2022. 
From your main Library create a Smart Album with the criteria of photos from 
01/01/2022 to 31/12/2022. 
Export all these photos out into a folder. Then import them all into the new 
Photo Library 2022. Once all there you can then delete them from the “main 
Library”.
Repeat this for other years. Eg Photo Library 2021. Another Smart Album with 
date range 01/01/2021 to 31/12/2021. 
And so on for each other year.
Once finished you’ll then have lots of Photo Library  and your “main” 
Photo Library (Sharing with iCloud). Each would be a smaller library and lots 
of them. And can be opened and saved to external drives.

4. Another option I haven’t thought of yet? The above are the main ones that 
come to mind off the top of my head anyway,….

Of course, with any of this,…make sure you have 2 copies backed up everywhere 
before (and after?) you start as well, so if anything goes wrong you’ve got 
things to go back to.

Hope something there may help?

Kind regards
Daniel

[WAMUG] Splitting iPhoto library connected to iCloud

[Tim Law via WAMUG]

Good afternoon. 

I’m using Ventura 13.2, the latest software on a 2017 iMac. I have a 180Gb 
iPhoto library connected to iCloud and am reaching the 200Gb limit. I don’t 
want to purchase more data from iCloud and want to split off library into 
separate libraries.  All photos are also stored on my computer, then backed up 
with Time Machine and also onto two separate disks using Carbon Copy Cloner. 

I have found the way to create a new library, but when I try to import photos 
from the large library, I am blocked access as it is being shared with iCloud. 

My thought is that I stop the sharing with iCloud, then import the photos. 
Reconnect the original library to iCloud and delete them. 

Any tips or links to useful tutorials that are written to be relevent to things 
such as Shared Libraries available since Ventura would be appreciated. 

Thanks

Tim

Hi Matt,

Check back in your WAMUG emails to the list around when I helped you privately 
?Offlist? and ?Onlist? with problems after upgrade 10.8.5 to 10.10 Yosemite... 
From 19Dec to 30th Dec.2015
There were numerous emails back and forth, eventually sorted and we updated 
iPhoto app to 9.6.1 and upgraded you to Yosemite.
I sent you a copy of  the Yosemite 10.10.5 combo update on a Thumb Drive
I then put the subject messages back on WAMUG & I replied to your post with 
further details  - installing the Yosemite 10.10.5 combo update and the 
transition to Photos - how to migrate/import to Photos from iPhoto. 

Locate this email either on your Mac (if you kept it) or on WAMUG mailing list

If you can?t locate it I?ll post to WAMUG list for you to read.
-

The "iPhoto Library Mon? you mention in the email below? I have no idea where 
that has come from, it must have been much older iPhoto Library than the one we 
imported into Photos app?
And nothing is in them anyway: 22bytes, 12bytes?.
> ?Library.iPhoto? - Kind iPhoto Library 22 bytes and ?Library6.iPhoto? - Kind 
> iPhoto Library 12 bytes.

You might be able to import the Originals images (9.16GB)?

I?ll wait to hear your reply after reading the emails from your pervious

Re: How to move iPhoto images from Ext HD to Photos

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Matt,

Check back in your WAMUG emails to the list around when I helped you privately 
“Offlist” and “Onlist” with problems after upgrade 10.8.5 to 10.10 Yosemite... 
From 19Dec to 30th Dec.2015
There were numerous emails back and forth, eventually sorted and we updated 
iPhoto app to 9.6.1 and upgraded you to Yosemite.
I sent you a copy of  the Yosemite 10.10.5 combo update on a Thumb Drive
I then put the subject messages back on WAMUG & I replied to your post with 
further details  - installing the Yosemite 10.10.5 combo update and the 
transition to Photos - how to migrate/import to Photos from iPhoto. 
 
Locate this email either on your Mac (if you kept it) or on WAMUG mailing list

If you can’t locate it I’ll post to WAMUG list for you to read.

The "iPhoto Library Mon” you mention in the email below… I have no idea where 
that has come from, it must have been much older iPhoto Library than the one we 
imported into Photos app?
And nothing is in them anyway: 22bytes, 12bytes….

You might be able to import the Originals images (9.16GB)?

I’ll wait to hear your reply after reading the emails from your pervious

How to move iPhoto images from Ext HD to Photos

[Matt Falvey]

Hi, I have just found a series of images on an Ext HD. I would like to know how 
to transfer/import them into the new Photos application? If possible into one 
library.

The iPhoto library I found is called “iPhoto Library Mon”, (which was dated 
25/09/2009 and last opened 3 Jul 2001) and is 11.96GB. 

I clicked on “Show Package Contents” and it has a long list of various files in 
it. Two that I am unsure about are, “Library.iPhoto” - Kind iPhoto Library 22 
bytes and “Library6.iPhoto” - Kind iPhoto Library 12 bytes.
These are unable to be opened as “Show Package Contents” is not available for 
them. I am not sure if they are a part of the “iPhoto Library Mon” library or 
independent libraries?

The “iPhoto Library Mon” also contains the “Originals” file (9.16GB) and the 
“Modified” file (1.44GB).

I am concerned that the images would have been processed in an old version of 
iPhoto and may need to be somehow updated before transferring or importing them 
into Photos. 

I would appreciate any information or comments on how to do this properly and 
if possible into one library.

Take care.

Matt.

How do I get iPhoto 9.2.3 from older iMac to Newer one

[Matt Falvey]

Hi, I am trying to repair some, many in fact, lost photo’s from various iPhoto 
albums that are located on an old iMac  and on a couple of external HD’s.

I have cleared a newer iMac an early 2008 20 inch running 10.9.5 to give me 
961GB of free space to be able to hopefully get everything onto the hard drive.

The problem is that as I cleared out most of the applications to make space, as 
they were transferred onto the iMac that was bought to replace it, I deleted 
iPhoto too.

I thought I could just copy iPhoto and its albums across from the old one, 
using target mode but it is greyed out.

I have looked through all of my back up disks and can’t find iLife 11, which I 
must have diced too. I have tried online but I can only locate updates not the 
original iPhoto 9.0.

I don’t want to move to Photo’s as the older iMac would not be able to upgrade 
its OS to handled that and I want to use like for like as iPhoto is a hard 
application to mess about with.

Anyone have any ideas as to how I can get it from the old iMac to the newer or 
where can I should look to find an original version of the iPhoto 9.0?

Take care.

Matt.

Photos will do what it does when importing an iPhoto library. On my system in

Re: iPhoto will not open.

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Matt,

Yes, older version of iPhoto used Google Maps for places look up. 
That licence expired a few years ago and now iPhoto uses Apple Maps for the 
job. 
Older version require an update to use the Faces feature also.

The maps in iPhoto 9.4.3, 9.4.5 and Aperture 3.4.5 continued to work till 
August this year.  
Since then the Places view will no longer show the Google Maps and only iPhoto 
9.5.1 or later and Aperture 3.5.1 or later will show the maps. 

Re: Checking Application Compatibility for upgrading your OS X, a good first 
place to check is:
RoaringApps  - Application Compatibility Table 

El Capitan 10.11 - Yosemite 10.10 - Mavericks 10.9 - iOS 9 - iOS 8

<http://roaringapps.com/apps <http://roaringapps.com/apps>>

Make sure you do the proper preparation of cleaning up your Mac - Review and 
uninstall any programs that you no longer need.
Review Login Items (accessed from System Preferences | Users & Groups), 
disabling any applications that do not need to automatically load at startup, 
thereby reserving resources for other programs.  And BACKUP BACKUP!!

If you require my normal post to WAMUG for installing OS X Upgrades, let me 
know.

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: iPhoto will not open.

[Matt Falvey]

Hi Ronni, sorry for the mix up with the duplicate posting. The first reply had 
not been posted, so I sent the second one and about an hour later both showed 
up.

Anyway. Yes, my iMac is completely up to date.

I made a cope of iPhoto and deleted the files ' googlemap.html ' and 
?googlesearch.html'

Opened iPhoto and it works perfectly apart from the geographic map has 
disappeared.

I had a quick look on the web and most pundits say this is because Apple's 
contract with google has expired and all versions of iPhoto earlier than 9.5 
have lost the function location (mine is 9.4.3). The general census seems to be 
if I want to have this function with is now supplied by Apple maps, I should 
upgrade to Yosemite (or beyond as I can only see El Capitan in my software 
update list) and instal iPhoto 9.6.1

From memory the reason I did not go to Yosemite was that I might have had 
compatibility problems with some of my existing applications, previously when 
updates became available there was a little application or document that was 
available that would show you applications that would not work or potentially 
fail, are you aware of any that came with Yosemite or El Capitan to enable me 
to compare them to 10.8.5 ? 

Once again, thanks very much.

Matt.

Hi Matt,

Is your Mac completely uptodate, have you installed updates when Apple notified 
to update?

Anyway -  So iPhoto opens now after Rebuilding the Library; but iPhoto crashes 
when you open the Info panel?
It seems to be problem with the Google maps that are no longer supported.

1. Go to /Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/Resources
2. Delete the files ' googlemap.html ' and ?googlesearch.html'

Removing the two files ' googlemap.html ' and googlesearch.html from iPhoto's 
application bundle prevents the javascript inside from being executed and 
causing the crash.

To access the files inside the iPhoto application select it in the Finder and 
Control-Click it. 
Then use the command "Show Package Contents" from the menu.  
Open the subfolder Contents, then Resources.
Scroll down to find the files.

NOTE: Don't try this fix without making a copy of the iPhoto application before 
you try to remove the two files from the application bundle.
It?s just safer to have a copy of the application before digging around inside 
the application; just as a precaution, in case you accidentally delete the 
wrong files.

Re: iPhoto will not open.

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Matt,

Is your Mac completely uptodate, have you installed updates when Apple notified 
to update?

Anyway -  So iPhoto opens now after Rebuilding the Library; but iPhoto crashes 
when you open the Info panel?
It seems to be problem with the Google maps that are no longer supported.

1. Go to /Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/Resources
2. Delete the files ' googlemap.html ' and ‘googlesearch.html'

Removing the two files ' googlemap.html ' and googlesearch.html from iPhoto's 
application bundle prevents the javascript inside from being executed and 
causing the crash.

To access the files inside the iPhoto application select it in the Finder and 
Control-Click it. 
Then use the command "Show Package Contents" from the menu.  
Open the subfolder Contents, then Resources.
Scroll down to find the files.

NOTE: Don't try this fix without making a copy of the iPhoto application before 
you try to remove the two files from the application bundle.
It’s just safer to have a copy of the application before digging around inside 
the application; just as a precaution, in case you accidentally delete the 
wrong files.

Re: iPhoto will not open.

[Matt Falvey]

Hi Ronni, I rebuilt the library and it opened without a hitch. I had good look 
through everything and it seemed to be working fine.

Then any time I pressed "info" for a photo, it displays the info details side 
panel for a couple of seconds and then quits and the "iPhoto quit unexpectedly" 
message comes up.   When I hit "Reopen" it reopen's instantly and is perfect 
apart from the above problem?

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Matt.

Hi Matt,

If you don't have a current backup of iPhoto I suggest you do a backup first.
Remember to Quit iPhoto before backing up.
Then Rebuild the iPhoto Library:

Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.

Cheers,
Ronni

iPhoto will not open.

[Matt Falvey]

Hi I have a problem iPhoto will not open for very long.

I am using OS 10.8.5 and iPhoto 9.4.3. and I have Aperture 3.4.5

Initially, iPhoto when I tried to open it would not work at all. It would start 
to run and I would get an "iPhoto quit unexpectedly" note with three options, 
Ignore, Report and Reopen. I tried them all, could not make head nor tail out 
of the report and the Reopen just repeated the cycle.

I thought I would try opening the library in Aperture as it is link to both. I 
ran Aperture and it said something like as the library keeps crashing you 
should try one of these three options. I think the first one was repair the 
permissions, the second one was repair the library and I am not sure what the 
third one was but it involved a more robust option.

I chose the second option and Aperture rebuilt the library and it opened up. 
All of the info that I had typed onto individual photos in iPhoto was there as 
were the albums , etc.

So I thought I would push the envelope as I already had a back up of the iPhoto 
library. I closed Aperture and tried to open iPhoto. This time it opened and 
stayed on the last page that I had displayed in Aperture for about 10 secs 
before shutting down and the  "iPhoto quit unexpectedly" message came up. I 
tried Reopen and the "iPhoto quit unexpectedly" came up immediately.

I went back to Aperture and that opened straight away, everything the same as 
before.

I have two questions:

- Should I do a back up know? As it appears I have a working library thanks to 
Aperture. (In the meantime I am keeping it open just in case)

- What should I do to try and get iPhoto to work with what it obviously a 
working library?  

Thanks

Matt.

Re: iPhoto will not open.

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Matt,

If you don't have a current backup of iPhoto I suggest you do a backup first.
Remember to Quit iPhoto before backing up.
Then Rebuild the iPhoto Library:

Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.

Cheers,
Ronni

Thanks Peter. I had already looked at the Dropbox website and the "Use Carousel 
…" was not checked.

When I looked in the Dropbox App just now I found "Enable camera ..." was 
checked so I have adjusted it as you suggested.

Presuming you have the Dropbox app installed on your computer, click its icon 
in the Menu Bar, then click the Gear Icon at the bottom of the window. Choose 
Preferences from the popup menu, then click the Import icon in the Preferences 
window. You will see a check box “Enale camera uploads for:”. Make sure this is 
unchecked. Also click the button “Import Photos from iPhoto”, then click the 
button “Never” on the resulting window.

If for some reason you don’t have the app installed, you’ll need to log into 
your account on the Dropbox website. Click on your account name at the top of 
the window and choose Settings from the dropdown menu. Make sure the check box 
“Use Carousel web as my default photos experience” is unchecked (it’s down the 
bottom under “Photos tab settings”).

iPhoto Opens then Quits

[Diana & Graham Stevens]

Hi everyone

iPhoto opens then quits immediately on my MacBook Pro [Early 2011, 2GHzCore i7, 
8 GB 1333 DDR3, OS X 10.8.5 (12F2560)].

I was backing up my iPad before updating to iOS 9.1, first I import the few 
photos I have saved from emails and delete them from the iPad. This time I 
found they were being transferred to DropBox, I must have ticked a wrong box 
somewhere during a senior moment. I then tried to transfer them to iPhoto but 
it kept quitting.

I restarted, repaired permissions, zapped the PRAM all with no luck. I gave up 
and updated the iPad via iTunes with the photos still there.

Can anyone suggest what might be wrong with iPhoto and how to fix it please? I 
have copied the top portion of the report below my signature.

Also how can I stop the photos going to DropBox? I have looked in the 
preferences for DropBox and Photos but can see nothing I can change.

Best wishes to all from Diana

Re: iPhoto Update ?

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Stephen,

Ok, here are more detailed instructions:

Can't Update iPhoto because it is not available in the App Store

NOTE: First Step 1.
Move iPhoto from your Applications folder into the Trash and make sure there 
are no disks mounted that have a copy of iPhoto on them before going to the App 
Store to look for iPhoto 9.6.1.

Just as a precaution, copy iPhoto from your Applications folder onto an 
external disk or USB stick and eject that drive.

If you didn't update your 9.x version of iPhoto prior to updating OS X Yosemite 
to 10.10.3, you cannot update the app through the App Store. 
Support for iPhoto was dropped with the release of Photos in Yosemite 10.10.3.
 
While you still cannot update iPhoto, you can re-install the app which will 
download the current version.(9.6.1)
Note that you must have iPhoto version 9.x for this to work. If you never 
purchased the 9.x version of iPhoto, you will not be able to update it to the 
Yosemite version.
 
Step 2.
Go to the App Store, Purchases tab, and make sure iPhoto is in the list of 
purchased software. 
It may be hidden, so check for that: Hide and unhide purchases in the Mac App 
Store - Apple Support.  <https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202320>
If it is not in your Purchases list, this will not work, so don't bother 
continuing.
 
Step 3.
Make sure no other users have iPhoto open in the background. 
It is best to have all other users logged out.
You might need to Restart before iPhoto will clear from the App Store memory 
(it it is still showing Update on the button in Purchases).

If it is still showing as Update, try searching Spotlight for iPhoto. There may 
be a copy on a mounted external disk that it is identifying.

Step 4.
You should now be able to go to the Purchases tab and find iPhoto with the 
Update button now labeled "Install"

Click "Install" and it should download the current version which works with 
Yosemite.
When I first tried, after authenticating, it posted a 503 error and asked if I 
wanted to Retry. When I clicked "Retry," it started downloading.
It's about 1.2 GB, so it takes a little while to fully download.

Cheers,
Ronni

[Stephen Chape]

Hi Ronni,
Where should I find the Purchases List in App Store?
I found my Purchases but the only iPhoto there is way back in Dec 2012.

Re: iPhoto Update ?

[Stephen Chape]

Thanks Ronni.
Mm  !!!
The only iPhoto on my iMac is 9.6 so I can’t figure that either.
However I will visit the App Store as suggested.

Re: iPhoto Update ?

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Stephen,

What version of iPhoto app do you have installed?

'Photos' requires 'iPhoto v9.6.1' to be able to make the 
transition/import/update from iPhoto to Photos.
So I'm wondering how you could have done the transition of your iPhoto Library 
if you didn't already have iPhoto.app version 9.6.1?

The message you are receiving is indicating you need to update iPhoto to 
version 9.6.1 and as it is no longer available at the App Store, you need to:

1. Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. 
If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
 
2. If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto.app (not the library, just 
the app) to the trash
 
3. Install the iPhoto.App from the Purchases list - App Store.

Cheers,
Ronni

iPhoto Update ?

[Stephen Chape]

Hi folks,

I have noticed I have a reminder for an iPhoto update from March 2015.
Trouble is I got Photos when it was released.
So when I try to download this update (simply to get rid of the reminder) I get 
a message telling me it is not available at this time.

Any idea how to write off the reminders please ?

Stephen Chape

Re: iPhoto Update

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Michael,

You have to go to the Purchases section of the App Store to download iPhoto 
9.6.1

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then 
it will be v9.6.1
 
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the 
app) to the trash
 
Install the App from the App Store.
 
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. 
See this article for details on how to unhide it.
 
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928 <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928>
 
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
 
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the 
iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT 
you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Cheers,
Ronni

I’ve been trying to download that update, but keep getting a message that it is 
not currently available on the Australian Apple Store.

What can be done?

iPhoto Update

[Alan Smith]

App Store has notified that an update is now available for iPhoto (vers 9.6.1) 
which was released on 20 March 2015.  Notification just received!   My current 
installed version is 9.5.1 which has a diagonal cross on the Finder 
applications icon.  I am using Yosemite OS X 10.10.5.  I also have Photos (ver 
1.0.1) installed.  I think I use Photos as my working app, but don’t know if I 
fully transferred any associated libraries from iPhoto. 

This morning I trashed all files in ~/Library/Caches to fix a stubborn iCloud 
problem. These included an item named Photos_Cache.noindex.

Should I download and install the App Store iPhotos update?

Alan

You can't update an Application if the Application is not already installed.

That is correct.

That is correct. So the iPhoto Library is there and also the Photos Library

Hard Facts about Hard Links
On import, Photos makes a Hard Link to all iPhoto media assets in its own 
library package, using the same directory structure as iPhoto (The libraries 
say they’re roughly the same size, but in fact, they’re sharing disk space via 
hard links).
Think of hard links as a cousin of Finder aliases—rather than existing in one 
place with an alias in a different location, files that are 'hard linked' 
appear to live in two places at once, but only take up the space of a single 
file.

Your old library won't be converted, just imported, so you can still open it in 
Aperture or iPhoto if you like (though once you import, if you do anything new 
with that library in Aperture or iPhoto, it won't carry over to the Photos 
version).

1.  Connect the external drive to MBP, then click to select it (highlight the 
drive icon)
2. Go to: File > Get Info (Command-I)
3. Click the arrow beside ‘Sharing & Permissions’ to show the complete window
Under 'you can read and write'
Name:   Privilege
(me)Read & Write
staff   Read & Write
everyoneRead & Write
4. At the bottom right in the window you will see a ‘Lock’ 
5. Click on the Lock - type in the Administrator password
6. Tick “Ignore ownership on this volume"
7. Click the lock again to lock

Don't go fiddling around in the Libraries. The file sizes you mention of both 
Libraries indicate the photos are there but not visible.

Make the above changes on the external drive, then open iPhoto.app and see if 
it locates the iPhoto Library on the external drive and eventually shows images 
(give it plenty of time to populate the photos)
Then open Photos.app and test it as well.

Post back with your results please.
I will be busy with clients for the rest of today and most of the week-end. But 
will check WAMUG messages when possible.

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: iphoto to photos problem

[Rosemary Spark]

Hi there Ronni,
​I'm sorry I took so long to get back with a report.


Finally got my hands on RJ's computer!
​(he's a writer, it's very hard to get it out of his hands)

I did repair permissions on his local and external drive.

 ​
I
​also ​
re-did the repair disk on the usb backup disk, and the boot to Recovery on
his new hard drive on his MacBook Pro.
​ ​

Some of the problem
​must have been
 because with updating his computer he didn't have any version of iPhoto on
his computer
​. We re-loaded that and re-did the convert to Photos app.​


​Now there is
*iPhoto Library.photolibrary​ and ​*Photos Library.photoslibrary
​ on the external drive​.

F
​iles ​
& library sizes etc are on the
​e​
xternal
​d​
rive
​ for Photos and iPhoto are similar​. (though not identical)
​
The ​
external drive
​wa​
s formatted 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled
​)​

And
​it was ​
connected
​with

​the (not particularly fast) usb ​
connection
​ that came with the hard drive (seagate)​


​The ownership was greyed out on the volume,  There was no place to add
him.
Where would I select  "ignore ownership"?
I added him to all the folders.​

​Unfortunately with the change from his old to "new" computer ​or the move
from the external hard disc* the photos have disappeared*. The structure is
still there but they only show up as grey boxes in Photo...and iPhoto. I
did an investigation on package contents and there are *no* photos in any
of the folders!

There certainly were at one point...but when that was is a little hazy,
certainly before his computer was re-done.

I tried to find an old fully functioning version of iPhoto from Time
Machine, but was very tricky as I'm not sure how far back it was working.
RJ is very hazy about that.

Also when I did find a folder in TM that looked hopeful there is a problem
with ownership, and though I tried to give him read/write permission it
took forever and seemed to timeout!...at which point RJ grabbed the
computer back!​

I know most of the photos will be in a folder organised by Picasa "Imported
from iPhoto" because iPhoto was flaky.
They will have to be added folder by folder as you can't seem to import
from within folders!

A job for another day!

Thanks for all the help!

Cheers
Rosemary

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).

A reason to have done a 'Repair Disk' & 'Repair Disk Permissions' before.

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.

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: iphoto to photos problem

[Rosemary Spark]

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.


Cheers

Rosemary

Re: iphoto to photos problem

[Ronda Brown]

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"?

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: iphoto to photos problem

[Ronda Brown]

Hello Rosemary,

Also, depending on the speed of reading & writing of your husband's MBP from 
the external drive that holds the iPhoto Library being imported & upgraded to 
Photos.
It can take quite some time for the library to fully load for the first time. 
A lot of activity is going on - as well as Spotlight reindexing in the 
background.

If you click on any of the blank images do they open and display the photo?
It might just need more time to populate all the images. 

Is your husband's external drive a thunderbolt connection?

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: iphoto to photos problem

Hello Rosemary,

The thumbnails are damaged and Photos doesn't have a specific first aid 
procedure to rebuild thumbnails like iPhoto does. 
 
A long shot would be to 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.

Cheers,

iphoto to photos problem

[Rosemary Spark]

My husband's computer and mine are very similar
Both running Yosemite 10.10.4
Both Macbook Pro 2012. His is 13in mine 15in.
We both had an iphoto library on separate external hard drives.
With each opened I opened Photos and pointed to the iphoto library on the
external drive
Both seemed to run the same way.
He now has iPhoto migrated, and Photos folder.
Mine is fine, all photos present and correct
He now has iPhoto migrated, and Photos folder.
His Photos has dates and grey boxes, lots and lots of grey boxes! For both
photos and thumbnails.
The only ones he can see is the Photostream.
No sign of either thumbnails or photos.

I did a re-build to no effect.

Any suggestions?

Re: Problem importing photos from iPad to IPhoto

[Susan Hastings]

Matt, you mentioned the iPhoto library being on an external HD. Have you tried 
clicking on that library to open iPhoto? Maybe your iPhoto is opening a default 
library on the iMac instead of the one on the external HD.

Re: Problem importing photos from iPad to IPhoto

[Matt Falvey]

Hi, Ronni, I am not sure what Camera Roll or Photo Stream are on the iPad. I 
have never used one it is my wife's and I just connected it up to the iMac and 
it showed up as a device.

I did try to import all the 5,000 in one go as that was the only option.

When I go to "last import" there is nothing, nor is the anything for the last 
12 months and as I mentioned before the event in its entirety has disappeared. 
Even though I had imported and looked at all the photos in it by opening the 
event in iPhoto and scrolling through it.

Thanks

Matt.

Problem importing photos from iPad to IPhoto

[Matt Falvey]

Hi, I have been trying to imports about 5,000 photos from an iPad into iPhoto 
with the library located on an external HD.

I am using iPhoto 9.2.3 on OSX 10.6.8 and IOS 8.4 on the iPad.

The import locked after it had said the photo's had been imported. I looked up 
what to do on the net and the best answer was reboot.

I did this and checked all the photos were there in the event. I closed iPhotos.

Later I wanted to something else and opened iPhotos and I can't find the event 
or photo's anywhere. 

In the meantime I had deleted the photo's from the iPad,

So I am now panicking, anyone have any ideas as to where I should look to see 
where the photos are?

Thanks.

Matt.

How to load Photos from iPhoto 9.4.3 to Facebook with descriptions attached?

[Matt Falvey]

Hi Ronni, thanks for the reply and the info. I am up 700 so far so when I get 
to the 1000 I will follow the instructions and export them and see if FB will 
display them on import into it.

I particularly like the idea of being able to change the file name to the title 
as even if FB does display the description, the title will have it there anyway.

Thanks.

Matt.

Hi Matt,

I don't use FB and don't know if FaceBook can handle (IPTC) metadata.
The only way you can get Photos out of iPhoto including Titles & Descriptions 
is by exporting the images.
You can export an Event (which includes your photos that you have already 
titled etc)

I normally create a folder on my Desktop with the same name as the Event I'm 
going to export.

Basically it is: File > Export 
Kind: JPEG 
JPEG Quality: Maximum (which will create a large file size) or what you wish to 
use
Include: Title and Keywords & Location information
Size: Full Size
File Name: Use Title
Subfolder format: Event Name

Detailed information.
How to Export Photos From iPhoto with Titles and Descriptions:

?Exporting? your photo out of iPhoto is the trick, but even then you have to 
select the right settings to make it work.

Once the image has been exported, your titles, descriptions, keywords and even 
location information (if you so choose) is then saved inside the image so you 
will no longer need the help of iPhoto to access and view this information.

Additionally, you can then also email this exported image to someone with 
whichever email software you choose (not just with Mail) and still maintain the 
title and description.

Something to keep in mind though, some image programs still don?t handle this 
(IPTC) metadata yet, so you can?t expect universal access to it. But just know, 
as long you don?t accidentally overwrite this information with another program, 
your information will always be saved inside of that image you just exported.

1.  Select (highlight) a photo or multiple or Event and then click on 
?File? from the top Menu Bar and then click ?Export? from the list. (Optionally 
you can hit SHIFT-COMMAND-E) If you would like to export a large quantity of 
photos, I would recommend selecting an entire ?Event? full of photos and 
exporting it to its own folder named the same as your iPhoto Event.

2.  Choose the ?File Export? tab from the top of this new window. The main 
thing you?re looking for here is the ?Include:? boxes in the middle of this 
window. 
You want to put a check mark next to ?Title and keywords? if you want your 
metadata such as title, description and keywords to be ?embedded? into your the 
image that you are about to create in the export.

Unfortunately, for whatever reason Apple has, you can only choose this box if 
you choose ?JPEG? or ?TIFF? from the ?Kind? option at the top. 

For the ?File Name?, you can choose ?Use Title? if you would like the new image 
to be labeled now with the title you gave it inside of iPhoto.
Click ?Export? and then choose where you would like to save this new image ? 
such as your desktop ? and then click ?ok.?


3   Click ?Export? and then choose where you would like to save this new 
image ? such as your desktop. The filename will default to your given ?title? 
if you chose that in the prior menu. 
When you are done click ?ok.?

So now, if you look on the desktop or in the folder where you told iPhoto to 
export your photo, you should see your image. You can do with it as you please.

Understand that this is a duplicate copy. Exporting is not moving, it?s 
copying. So your original image is still safely saved inside of iPhoto. By 
exporting, you created another copy of it with the options you chose in the 
process.

Cheers,
Ronni

When you upload a photograph to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, … the majority of 
this metadata is stripped out of the image...

Why Facebook and Twitter Are Stripping Out Your Context


Which social media sites remove embedded metadata?
"Which social media sites are guilty of this? Well, all but Google+. Here’s an 
nice overview that’s the result of a study by members of the Photo Metadata 
Working Group of the IPTC and contributors to the photo metadata survey of 
controlledvocabulary.com. (I’ve recently noticed that even Wikimedia does not 
include EXIF or IPTC information in resized version of the images they host)"

How to load Photos from iPhoto 9.4.3 to Facebook with descriptions attached?

[Matt Falvey]

Hi I have just returned from the C2C in England and was putting some photo's of 
the walk up on FB from iPhoto when I noticed, that the GPS and the descriptions 
that I had added to each photo in iPhoto, did not show up on the transfer when 
it reached FB.

Anyone know how I can ensure that at least the "Descriptions" are shared along 
with the photos.

I have over 1000 so I don't want to manually add descriptions to both iPhoto 
and then again add them to the images I send to FB. 

Thanks.

Matt.

migration. Basically, unless you allow it to complete the process of its own 
accord, then potential for it to come unstuck. I did a cleaning step in between 
the migration and corrupted it beyond a known repair.

Anyway, wha I did with ronni's help was to extract the "Master" images folder 
from within the iPhotos Package onto an external drive, then made space on my 
wife's MBP, then imported the images from the Masters folder back into a NEW 
Photos library file. It took a while, but eventually, all 38,000 dd photos into 
a new library. A bit of metadata missing, but they seem to still be stacked 
chronologically.

An end to a near divorce saga. But all is restored now.

Regards


Pete

Ok noted Ronnie. I got a 2TB drive in readiness for this and clean formatted. 

I won't go near SQLite db.

I go back on Friday morning so can probably get back in business by then.

Hello Peter,

I will get back to you when it is at possible with more detail BUT DON'T 
try the fix you mentioned from apple discussions below!!! 
Remain very aware that you DO NOT have any BACKUP of your wife's Library. 
You ONLY have a corrupted iPhoto Library file... that iPhoto & iPhoto Library 
Manager were unable to rebuild... and NO backup if things go wrong & they can 
go horribly wrong!

From what you have told us, CleanMyMac2 (with User help) did a real job of 
corrupting her iPhoto Library... the iPhoto Library is a SQLite database and 
can not be modified.  Goodness knows what system files it deleted or changed as 
well?

The only chance you have of saving your wife's photos now I feel is to Create a 
NEW iPhoto Library from the Masters folder.
 But you can't just do that with the current iPhoto Library and iPhoto 
situation on her MBP, we will need to move things and start fresh.
I will get back with details how to go about this, I will have to take it 
"Off-List" as I'll send you detailed instructions document.

First I need you to get a clean External Drive and Format it OS X Extended 
(Journaled) and GUID Partition Table.
If you require details how to do this post back & I'll send you details.

OK, I'll get back to you offlist as soon as I am able to. How many days before 
you go back to work?
I'm off to a client now, but will check my email when possible & get back to 
your problem when possible.

Cheers,
Ronni

Looks like the The SQLite database file could not be found and this stops it

Thanks Daniel, I think I tried that a while back and I got the same "aperture

Though I've followed some of this,..but must admit not following all of

Have you thought of perhaps trying something like iPhoto Library Manager, and 
letting it do a "Recover" of the Library to see what it comes up? (Rebuild 
Corrupted Library or Merge Libraries,…or a mixture of the two).
You'd need to do it to an external drive I'm guessing due to the large size of 
the library.

Re: iPhoto to Photos migration

[Peter Crisp]

Hi Ronni, no worries about the Chris thing. I've been called that and more and 
my wife gets the same too.

Sorry, there is no backup. Another lesson learnt there, With 5 of us in the 
house and Time Machine I've been ok with that. I should have cloned prior to 
the update. :(((

What I was considering with a third party photo app was to "Move" the iPhoto 
and Photos libraries off the hard disc (for making space and storage purposes 
and perhaps a later rectify attempt) onto an external drive to make some space, 
then take a Copy of the "Masters" folder from within the iPhoto Package back 
into the Pictures folder on the Hard disc of my Wife's MBP. Unmount the 
external drive. Then, install Picasa (or Lyn) and it will scan the "Masters" 
folder which contains all the original images in the Year/Month/Day folder 
structure as created by iPhoto at the time of original import. I direct Picasa 
to Import to the "Masters" folder for any future imports off the phone or 
camera. I use Picasa on my work computer (Windows) and familiar with it's 
operation and importing from phone (Android as required by employer). 

I have held off doing this (Picasa) as I am doing as you suggested below as a 
final attempt, I did another Repair of the Photos library and currently it's 
sitting there and maybe indexing in the background. A worthwhile attempt. I 
will leave it till tomorrow before resigning to next step.

I use Picasa as previously indicated but also aware of "Lyn" as a Mac specific 
photo management software. Have you or anyone had any experience with that one? 
It reads well over a small number of reviews.

Regards

Re: iPhoto to Photos migration

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Peter,

This is so disappointing - If only you had a backup of the original (working 
correctly) iPhoto Library. :(
You definitely don't have any backup of this iPhoto Library on an external 
drive or something? 
I find it hard to believe that you would ONLY rely on Time Machine for 
backups... no CCC or SuperDuper! backups or just photos backed up on a external 
drive.

Chris, Before you make this decision, give the Photos Repair another go and 
this time - after the repair completes 100% and the Photos App remains open 
and displays No images only blank gray albums -  Leave it open for all day.
The Photos Library is 292.84GB size, so a large amount of photos to be 
converted/upgraded and also a lot of Spotlight reindexing is being done in the 
background, this could take many hours.

Disconnect anything attached to the MBP, quit all other applications.
Launch Photos with The Command and Option keys held down, in the resulting your 
library will be repaired window - click Repair 
After it completes repair just leave Photos open and leave it for as many hours 
as possible overnight if you can...  and let's see what happens

Picasa:
I've never used Picasa so don't know much about it.
But I'm not sure if you will get Picasa to work now in OS X 10.10.3 with your 
current (faulty) iPhoto Library that has been upgraded for Photos.
From what I can find out about Picasa it doesn't store any of your photos, it 
simply scans your hard drive and displays the photos it finds. In this way, 
Picasa folders represent the actual directories containing photos on your Mac's 
hard drive.
Picasa handles the iPhoto Library in the same way, with a small variation made 
for the way the iPhoto Library organizes your photos: If you've made edits in 
iPhoto, each album or event in your iPhoto Library contains an 'Originals' 
folder and a 'Modified' folder. Picasa scans the photos and videos in both the 
'Originals' and 'Modified' folders, and displays a single collective folder 
with the most recent version of each file.

The photos in your iPhoto Library will be displayed in the 'iPhoto Library' 
collection as 'Read-Only' files. The Read-Only status is necessary to ensure 
that Picasa and iPhoto work well together.
By default, Picasa for Mac will look for your iPhoto Library in Pictures > 
iPhoto Library.

Let us know how you get on please.
Best of luck.

Cheers,
Ronni

I was contemplating a third party photo manger like Picasa or Lyn. I know in 
theory the iPhoto and Photos pair of apps is a good thing and cleverly cross 
mapped and I am in this pickle due to my own actions, but given the intended 
use of the photos for my wife (she doesn't edit, just wants to keep a record 
for posterity and have an easy to use program for viewing her pics and 
occasional emailing of one or two), the photos are all nicely configured in 
Year/Month/Day folders, does it really matter what front end to view them with? 
She certainly has no desire to have two photo viewing programs (iPhoto and 
Photos) I know that might be defeatist in reaching a point like this, but I 
don't want to waste any more of your time given the fairly exhaustive lengths 
gone to so far. I haven't done this yet,merely contemplating.

Re: iPhoto to Photos migration

[Ronda Brown]

In the view menu of Photos be sure that the Sidebar is shown (View > Show 
Sidebar) - iPhoto events have been converted into albums and are in the albums 
sections in a folder named "iPhoto events".
Can you double-click on a 'greyed box' and see an image? 
I know you mentioned before you see a white box after you click.
Can you open any image under Albums in the Side?

The thumbnails are damaged and Photos doesn't have a specific First Aid 
procedure to Rebuild Thumbnails like iPhoto does.

Something worth doing is - Boot the MBP into Recovery Volume (Command + R keys 
down). Select Disk Utility and 'Repair Disk Permissions' and 'Repair Disk'.
Reboot normally and try Photos again.

I'll send you 'off-list' a screenshot of my opened Photos showing Albums - All 
Photos -Faces etc FYI.

Ronni

Re: iPhoto to Photos migration

[Ronda Brown]

Can you open iPhoto from the Dock with the Option Key held down and see the 
dialog window... "Which Photo Library do you want iPhoto to use"
What Libraries show there?... iPhoto Library - if so click 'choose'

In the Pictures folder do you have "Aperture Library.aplibrary"
If so what version is it?

Re: iPhoto to Photos migration

Without knowing exactly what you did and the order in which you did things,  
fixing this is really hard work not being able to physically check your 
computer.

You Quit Photos.app after it completed the Repair & then relaunched Photos App 
normally (from the Dock)?

Do you have iPhoto.app in the Dock? If not place it in the Dock and try this:

1. Launch iPhoto App (from the dock) with COMMAND + OPTION keys held down
This will bring up 'iPhoto Library First Aid’ panel
2. Select ‘Repair Permissions’
3. Click ‘Repair’
Then Quit iPhoto

4. Launch iPhoto App (from the dock) with COMMAND + OPTION keys held down again
5. Select ‘Repair Database’
6. Click ‘Repair’
Then Quit iPhoto

See if you can then launch iPhoto normally and see all your photos.

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: iPhoto to Photos migration

[Peter Crisp]

Ever since the update to OSX, iPhoto hasn't worked - I have just been presented 
with the message "Aperture library needs to be upgraded". 

I believe it was the cleaner app which placed the iPhoto library in the Trash 
but from over 3 weeks ago I can't recall if that cleaning operation was before 
or after doing the OSX update - if I was to guess I would say I ran the cleaner 
app after the OSX update. If the cleaning was run before OSX update (and the 
iPhoto library was in Trash while the OSX update ran), perhaps this is the 
reason. What if I did a trial and placed the iPhoto library back in Trash 
(without emptying naturally) and then tested the operation of iPhoto and 
Photos? If the mapping for Photos (with its intelligent cross mapping with 
iPhoto) was established with the iPhoto library in Trash, that may account for 
the 'broken' front end to back end connection as the locations of the files in 
the mapping table is wrong?

I have run the Repair Photos library as you've suggested here and it runs 
through to 100%. Still same status with no photos showing after that, old 
iPhoto events list still showing all greyed out.

Re: iPhoto to Photos migration

[Ronni Brown]

Ok Peter,

As I mentioned previously The file sizes on the two Libraries indicate the 
update/transition has completed... but there is some damage or corruption.
When you noticed the original iPhoto Library was in the Trash and you then 
relocated that library to the correct location in Pictures folder... did that 
iPhoto Library work correctly?... that is “Did it show all your Photos, Albums 
etc? 
I'm trying to find out if the corruption was BEFORE you updated to Photos or 
AFTER.

If it was after I would suggest you try  “Repairing the PHOTO Library” - Photos 
Library.photoslibrary
1. Hold the COMMAND and OPTION keys down and launch PHOTOS app
2. You will receive a dialog window - Click “Repair”
   and see ‘Repairing Library’ and a  progress bar 

Let me know your results please.

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: iPhoto to Photos migration

[Peter Crisp]

A further piece of information on this. If i right mouse on either the iPhoto 
or Photos libraries and select "Open Package Contents" I can see the contents 
and the Masters folder which shows the Year/Month/Date hierarchy and in turn 
the JPG files within the bottom level folder, so they are there! It seems the 
mapping from the app front end for both iPhoto and Photos to the JPG files is 
'broken'.

Note, I haven't tried to do anything more, just looked.

Re: iPhoto to Photos migration

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Peter,

I might have to take this ‘Offlist’ as I’m not too sure if you are giving me 
the correct information.
Check what I’ve mentioned below and reply to the list please.

I’ll send you a document ‘Offlist’ showing screenshots of my iPhoto Libraries 
BEFORE & AFTER Update/transition to Photos.
And the Option Key open Photos App to ‘Choose Library’ FYI
iPhoto Libraries before & After transition to Photos Libraries.pdf

Are you SURE  iPhoto.photolibrary is correct - or is it iPhoto

That looks correct!

Are you SURE - or are they named Photos Library.photoslibrary and iPhoto 
Library.photolibrary

If they are named as I mention above- that is correct… that is what you should 
see!
Select 'Photos Library.photoslibrary'   and click Choose Library

The file sizes on the two Libraries indicate the update/transition has 
completed - you should be able to select ‘Photos Library.photoslibrary’ to open 
Photos with all your previous iPhoto photos & albums etc.

I’ll send you the document in another email to you ‘Offlist’, but please post 
back to the list otherwise it is a consult fee.
This has taken a lot of time trying to send & receive information through a 
third party is always difficult.

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: iPhoto to Photos migration

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Peter,

Just to clarify a few things before I suggest anything else.
 
On your wife’s MBP - In her Pictures Folder there is NOT a “iPhoto 
Library.photolibrary” Or "iPhoto Library”?

There are only these two files: “iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary” and 
“Photos Library.photoslibrary” mentioned previously?
What size is indicated on both the above libraries? 

Hold Down the Option key & keep it down as you click Photos to open and see the 
‘Choose Library' dialog window.
What shows there? Also what shows there if you click “Other Library”?

It seems as thought the transition/import of iPhoto Library has not fully 
completed. If it had, the next time you opened the Photos.app everything would 
look similar/ but a bit different to iPhoto.app.
 
Also if it had, you would have been able to double-click on iPhoto 
Library.migratedphotolibrary and you would 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. 

Was the only iPhoto Library backup on the Time Machine sparsebundle that you 
deleted?
I would much prefer to know there is a backup

Let me know the answers to above queries before I perhaps suggest you try to 
Repair the Photos Library.

Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Peter, 
 Just two very quick questions. 1. Have all the steps from my first
reply to last reply that I've asked you to do been carried out on your
'Wife's MBP'?  It wasn't until my last reply that you mentioned you
were doing the steps on your MBP from copies of your Wife's iPhoto &
Photos Library files. 
 Everything I've suggested needs to be done on your wife's MBP where
the Library's are located as I mentioned below. 
 2. What is the version of iPhoto.app on her MBP - is it iPhoto v
9.6.1? 
 Cheers, Ronni

your Wife on her MBP.Not your MBP! You already have set up Photos on
your MBP, so your Photos & iPhoto libraries would have the same
titles...

  A). ON YOUR WIFE'S MBP  IN HER USER HOME FOLDER > PICTURES - THERE

application opens up at the new user screen indicating the 4 options.
But no images appear when selected on the "Photos" tab. When "Albums"

never do. I presume you mean when you open Photos from the Dock?
Yes I mean Dock, sorry that’s the unfortunate byproduct of being sat
in front of a Windows machine all day.  
 OK, has your wife tried the suggestions below yet? 
  D) ON HER MBP - If she double-clicks on the  "PHOTOS
LIBRARY.PHOTOSLIBRARY” (in her Home > Pictures folder) does it open
in PHOTOS? Yes, Photos opens properly and sits with no photos showing

Re: iPhoto to Photos migration

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Peter,

Just two very quick questions.
1. Have all the steps from my first reply to last reply that I've asked you to 
do been carried out on your 'Wife's MBP'? 
It wasn't until my last reply that you mentioned you were doing the steps on 
your MBP from copies of your Wife's iPhoto & Photos Library files.

Everything I've suggested needs to be done on your wife's MBP where the 
Library's are located as I mentioned below.

2. What is the version of iPhoto.app on her MBP - is it iPhoto v 9.6.1?

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: iPhoto to Photos migration

[petercrisp]

Thanks Peter, yes have tried that and unfortunately no good. Back at
the start of the thread i outlined these things. My iPhoto library is
in a transitional state that did not complete which has left both the
iPhoto library and the Photos library inaccessible. 
Regards

Pete.

 You should still have a copy of iPhoto in your Applications folder.
Does this still open your iPhoto library (you may be asked by iPhoto
at launch which library file to use)?  
 Using iPhoto and Time Machine (if you’re using that) to revert to
a copy of the library which predates your Photos installation.

Re: iPhoto to Photos migration

[F.W. Hänel]

Hi Ronni,

Yes I have:
1.  Photos Library.photoslibrary (38GB)
2.  iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary (34GB)

The migrated Photos Library opens in Photos. But when I look in Get Info I can 
see that the
2 libraries are in MacIntosh HD >Users >fwhaenel >Public (not in pictures). Do 
I have to move them to pictures ?

In Pictures I found :
1. iPhoto Library Recovered Photos
2. iPhoto Slideshows
I am also serching for the other library that only has 1 photo.

Thanks Ronni,

Cheers,
Walter

Or if you would like something more comprehensive try “Photos for Mac & iOS - 
The Missing Manual””
It is $34.70 AUD from The Book Depository.
They usually deliver in about a week and the delivery charge is included.
They also use PayPal.

Re: iPhoto to Photos migration

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Walter,

Did you delete that first Photos Library that only had ONE photo in it?
Are you sure you don't have Two 'Photos Libraries' in your User > Pictures 
folder?

When you click on Photos in the Dock, does the migrated (complete) Photos 
Library open?

Check in your User > Pictures folder how many iPhoto & Photos Libraries you 
have.

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: iPhoto to Photos migration

[F.W. Hänel]

Hi Ronni,

On that screen I have selected “All photos and albums” (next to Photos it tells 
me there is one photo) and then clicked Apply.
One photo is now indeed available on AppleTV - it is the one that I manually 
imported into Photos before 
migrating the old library into Photos.

Thanks Ronni

Cheers,
Walter

Re: iPhoto to Photos migration

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Walter,

If you aren’t using iCloud Photo Library, you can use iTunes to transfer the 
photos in your Photos library to iPad, iPhone, iPod, or Apple TV. 

Use iTunes to transfer photos to iOS devices and Apple TV:

1. Open iTunes - Go to File > Home Sharing > Choose Photos to Share with Apple 
TV
2. Select what albums you want to share under - tick  ‘Share Photos from: Photos
3. Select either ‘All photos and albums’ or 
   ‘Selected albums’  & select which you wish to share 
tick ‘Include videos’ if you wish


Cheers,
Ronni

Re: iPhoto to Photos migration

Hi Peter,

I’ll have a look.

Also I am confused, when I want to look at my photos on the TV via AppleTV I 
can no longer see the photos in my library.
iTunes is turned on on the iMac and it’s set to “Share entire library” / “Share 
my library on my local network”

Thanks Peter,

Cheers,
Walter

Although it’s probably really just a preparatory manual, at this stage it seems 
that the most comprehensive “manual” is “ Photos for Mac: A Take Control Crash 
Course” from Take Control books.

It’s only 30 pages, but it does seem to offer more information than anything

specialist articles. I must say though that I think I have found all I need to 
know about Photos just by clicking and poking. Apart from a a few 
well-documented differences, what I already know about iPhoto has stood me in 
good stead.

LIBRARY.PHOTOSLIBRARY” (in her Home > Pictures folder) does it open
in PHOTOS? Yes, Photos opens properly and sits with no photos showing
(when Photos Tab selected) but the 4 options of what to do for a new
user. As I noted prior, when I select the “Albums” tab, it shows
in grey form the panels reflecting the Events as was the case in
iPhoto previously.   
If PHOTOS app opens don’t go any further with my
suggestions... Sorry I meant don't go any further if PHOTOS opens and
everything looks correct in Photos. If not please continue.So please
ask your wife to continue and do step E) & if necessary step F)

 If Photos app DOESN’T open continue with suggestions below  
  E) ON HER MBP - If she double-clicks on "IPHOTO
LIBRARY.MIGRATEDPHOTOLIBRARY” (in her Home > Pictures folder) does
it open in PHOTOS?  By doing this - If it has completed the preparing
& migration you will receive a dialog window saying:
------
 “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.  Your options will be ‘Quit’
- ‘Open iPhoto’ - and a BLUE ‘OPEN PHOTOS' - Click  the
BLUE ‘OPEN PHOTOS'
 If E)
doesn’t work try 
  F)_ Hold down the Option key as you open the PHOTOS app in the
Dock _to see the 'Choose Library dialog' window. Click '_OTHER
LIBRARY_'  Select the 'IPHOTO LIBRARY.MIGRATEDPHOTOLIBRARY' See if
that completes the ‘preparing for import’ 
 If none of the above sort out the Photos Library on your wife’s
MBP, we could try to Repairing the Photos Library. If Photos begins
misbehaving, Apple has provided the capability for Photos to repair
its own libraries. 
 From what information you have given me, it indicates by the size of
each Library (the 'iPhoto Library' file & the 'Photos Library’
file), that all the Data appears to be there but for some reason not
visible. 
 I will send details how to ‘Repair the Photos Library’ if we do
find we need to try that. Seems I need to try a Repair Library.   
Not yet Peter and definitely not on your MBP.

The suggestions and steps I've given you need to be carried out by your Wife on 
her MBP.
Not your MBP! You already have set up Photos on your MBP, so your Photos & 
iPhoto libraries would have the same titles...

Re: iPhoto to Photos migration

Yes, see responses below in red. Note, I do not have my wifes MBP with me, I 
only have a copy of the two Library files (iPhoto and Photos). I am doing this 
trialing on my MBP Retina - which I did successfully upgrade to 10.10.3 and 
also successfully set up Photos.

I presume you mean when you open Photos from the Dock?

OK, has your wife tried the suggestions below yet?

D) On her MBP - If she double-clicks on the  "Photos Library.photoslibrary” (in 
her Home > Pictures folder) does it open in PHOTOS?
If PHOTOS app opens don’t go any further with my suggestions... 

If Photos app DOESN’T open continue with suggestions below 

E) On her MBP - If she double-clicks on "iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary” 
(in her Home > Pictures folder) does it open in PHOTOS?
By doing this - If it has completed the preparing & migration you will receive 
a dialog window saying:
------
 “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. 
Your options will be ‘Quit’ - ‘Open iPhoto’ - and a BLUE ‘Open Photos' - Click  
the BLUE ‘Open Photos'

If E) doesn’t work try

F) Hold down the Option key as you open the PHOTOS app in the Dock to see the 
'Choose Library dialog' window.
Click 'Other Library' 
Select the 'iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary'
See if that completes the ‘preparing for import’ 

If none of the above sort out the Photos Library on your wife’s MBP, we could 
try to Repairing the Photos Library.
If Photos begins misbehaving, Apple has provided the capability for Photos to 
repair its own libraries.

From what information you have given me, it indicates by the size of each 
Library (the 'iPhoto Library' file & the 'Photos Library’ file), that all the 
Data appears to be there but for some reason not visible.

I will send details how to ‘Repair the Photos Library’ if we do find we need to 
try that.

Re: iPhoto to Photos migration

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Walter and all members who are confused how to migrate/import to Photos from 
iPhoto. Walter & Peter have not done it correctly.
Walter the first time you open Photos you do not import any photos from the 
desktop, you are doing a transition/import of your complete iPhoto Library.

How to: Move your iPhoto or Aperture Library to Photos
As you have previously been using iPhoto or Aperture on your Mac and iPhoto 
Library or Aperture Library is in the default location (User Home > Pictures 
folder) 
 
1. When you first clicked on Photos app and the Welcome Screen appears, you 
should click on the Blue Box 'Get Started'.

2. If you were previously using iPhoto or Aperture, after clicking the 'Get 
Started', it searches your system and detects your iPhoto and Aperture 
libraries.
Select which Library you want to use with Photos from the list
Which (unless you changed the name of your iPhoto Library) will be 'iPhoto 
Library'

3. Once you select the library, it presents the option to set up iCloud Photo 
Library, (Apple's iCloud-based photo and video syncing and storage service. 
This will allow you to sync all the Photos from your Mac and iOS device to each 
of your other devices, keeping your edits and albums in sync.)
At this stage, especially if you are not sure about putting ALL your pictures 
into iCloud Photo Library - I recommend you DON'T - (you can always set that up 
later under Photo's Preferences from the menu bar; it's optional and never 
required unless you want automatic, cloud-based syncing.

4. It then starts to Prepare your library to transition to Photos.
Your old photo libraries will stay on your Mac if you decide you want to use 
iPhoto or Aperture (because it is more for Professional photographers & has 
more powerful editing tools and built-in support for external editors). 
However, if you make any changes in those libraries, they will NOT 
automatically sync over to your new Photos Library As I mentioned in my 
previous email below.

Most of the data from iPhoto and Aperture will transfer to the Photos app. 
Faces is still the same. Also, if you were using star ratings, flags and color 
labels in iPhoto & Aperture, they are still around in Photos, but they are now 
Keywords and assigned to the photos. You'll notice your Events from your 
previous photo library is organised alongside albums in the new Photos app 
preserving your organisation.

Hopefully this email and my previous emails to the list will help clear any 
confusion.

On my own Macs and my clients Macs the transition has gone very smoothly and 
easy without any issues at all.

Cheers,
Ronni
