Additional Photo in iPhoto

Hi
Ive just noticed on my iPhone 5 that I have 481 photos but on iPhoto on my iMac only has 480. I can see the extra photo on my iPhone thats not displayed in iPhoto.
How can the additional photo be showing on my iPhone but not in iPhoto?
Ive sync'd the fine iPhone several times but the additional photo doesnt sync across to iPhoto and I cant delete it from my iPhone. How do I delete the additional photo when its not showing on iPhoto on my iMac?
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks
Baz

How do you make a duplicate copy of a photo in iPhoto library

I have been trying to make and additional photo in iphoto, ie give it a new name and edit it but still keep the original untouched.

In iPhoto select the photo you want to duplicate and either do Command+D or from the 'Photos' menu select Duplicate. To rename it select the duplicate and do Command+I and edit the file name.

Since March 2012 my iphoto 11 trash folder says that I have 13,346 photos in the iphoto trash, but there are no thumb nail copies in the viewer window. I can delete additional photos but clicking on the "empty trash" button. Any solutions?

Since March 2012 my iphoto 11 trash folder says that I have 13,346 photos in the iphoto trash, but there are no thumb nail copies in the viewer window. I can delete additional photos but clicking on the "empty trash" button.
My system trash finally emptied when I discovered "trash it!" is not longer supported by the most recent osx. Then I found an updated version of Onyx that did work with that trash emptying problem.
I have a total of 5,723 photos in my library. A macdevelopers group recently started suggesting a multi library manager for iphoto to overcome some kind of library quota limitations with iphoto as opposed to "more advanced" photo handling, storing and editing programs. If I went to a mult library manager for iphoto would that cure the apparent incongruent data retrieval problem in iphoto 11 regarding 13,346 phantom photos that will not securely delete?
Are there any other possible solutions out there?

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Backing up iPhoto - then deleting photos on your Mac, then backup with additional photos, will this lose any photos

Just wondering on the following when backing up Iphotos:
If you backup your iphoto libary from your mac then remove some of these photos on your mac (to create additional space on the hard drive), then add additional photos to your iphoto libary, and do a back up of your iphotos libary - will the new back up still keep the old photos (in the backup) that you have deleted?
As i have alot of photos on my Mac that are eating up my hard drive space, but i am to scared to do anything incase i lose any of my photos.
Any ideas???
Cheers

Depends.
What are you using to back up?
A straight copy of the Library to the external will definitely overwrite the Library.
Here's a strategy that might help:
Here's one way to do what you want:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
Now you have two full versions of the Library.
3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
Some Notes:
As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

When using Iphoto to import photo from existing folder, what happens if I delete the photo in Iphoto ? Will the original file in the folder be deleted too?

When using Iphoto to import photo from existing folder to iphoto, what happens if:
1. I delete that photo in iphoto? will the original file in the folder be deleted too ?
2. when importing, does the hard disk store 2 versions of the photo, hence occupying additional space in the harddisk?

1 - no -- iPhoto only manages fiel within the iPhoto library - it does not ever do anything with files outside the library
2 - No idea what you are asking - by default (and strongly recommended) iPhoto copies the original to the iPhoto library and you delete the source file outside the iPhoto library - iPhoto alwasy has at least two versions of every photo and some times three - it always have the original, a thumbnail and once a photo is modified a preview - this is not optional - if it is not what you want then iPhoto is not the correct progrtam to be using for phopto management

Not all photos in iphoto are syncing to ipad

I hope someone can help me with this! I noticed that not all of my photos are syncing to my iPad (original) anymore even though I have "sync all" checked on the photos tab of my iPad in iTunes. I have recently uploaded pictures from my sd-card onto my MacBook Pro from the little reader slot as well as photos from my iphone. All of these photos are organized into Events in iPhoto. My camera is about a year old so I've uploaded pictures many times before, but there are also pictures from two other cameras in the library. There are pictures from the newer camera that HAVE synced onto the iPad. For example, we have a ton of pictures from our trip to California (one event in iPhoto) last spring in which half of them show up on the iPad and the other half do not.
Also, if relevant, my iphone is about 2.5 years old (holding out for the new version!), and it seems like some of the pictures from the phone are synced onto the iPad from iPhoto and some aren't.
My ipad and laptop both have plenty of space for the pictures so I don't think that's the issue.
Advice I've seen so far...
After searching through these boards and googling the issue, I've read a lot about deleting the iPod Photo Cache, but I don't know if this is really for the same issue.
Additionally, I found a post on another site that mentioned an issue if the images have the same file name. It doesn't seem to matter to iPhoto if the names are the same, but it sounds like it may matter to the iPad (according to the one post that I read)? If that's the case, I don't know how I would ever prevent this from happening because my DSLR will always number the pictures in order, which is what my Point & Shoots did as well. I'm pretty sure that's standard for all cameras. If I were taking a few pictures every so often, it wouldn't be a big deal to change the names of each image, but when I'm loading 500 pics at a time, which is generally the case, I can't rename them all.
Help with this is much appreciated!

If the file format is compatible with the iPad, the photos should sync. The camera will name the files automatically as far as I know and if you never changed the names before - and simply imported the photos into iPhoto, that shouldn't matter.
Deleting the iPod Photo Cache folder seems to work for many, many users with this problem. There is no guarantee that it will work, but it is easy to do and it's harmless since a new photo cache folder will be created when you sync again.
Here is an article that explains how to delete the folder and where itcan be found.

I have just installed Photoshop Elements for a MAC. MY photos were in iPhoto, I have 47,000 pictures and my drive on my Mac laptop is not large enough. I store my photos in iPhoto on an external drive. Can I store all my photos on an external drive when using Photoshop Elements? If so, in what format should they be stored in? I do I move them from iPhoto to the new storage location? How do I call them up in organizer? And how do I call them up to Edit? I do not want to store any pictures on my Apple Mac laptop. I want to store pictures on several external devices.

Yes you can store images on an external hard dive and have them referenced in Organizer. It’s best to export copies to separate folders/subfolders and that will ensure iPhoto does not get corrupted.
Alternatively you could continue to use iPhoto with the Elements Editor set up in the iPhoto prefs as your external editing app. Then there is no need to use Organizer and no need to duplicate your images.
You can then call up photos directly from iPhoto as normal with the additional option e.g.
Double-click on a thumbnail to edit in iPhoto editor.
Control (right) - click on a thumbnail to edit in the elements app.

I want to take the photos off my iPhone and put them directly onto an external hard disk. I want to bypass iPhoto altogether. When I link my iPhone to my computer, it only opens in iTunes, which only gives me the option to save my photos to iPhoto. Help!

I want to take the photos off my iPhone and put them directly onto an external hard disk - I don't have any room left on my computer. I want to bypass iPhoto altogether. When I link my iPhone to my computer, it only opens in iTunes, which only gives me the option to save my photos to iPhoto. Help! This is seriously frustrating!.
Additionally, I'd like to be able to take the 2000+ photos out of iPhoto and put them on a disk in a folder. I have managed to export them to the hard disk but it's just plonked all 2000+ photos in a list - not ideal if I want to use it for anything else. And then I have to manually delete the photos from iPhoto. Is there not a quick and easy way of dealing with this?
Anyone got any bright ideas? Thanks for your help!

I too would like to be able to do this. Just put them where i want the. IFTT a scripting app will put the images in dropbox for you , but its been pretty iffy.

Lost almost all my original photos in iPhoto. Have rebuilt the library to no avail.

I tried to share my events and photos from iPhoto in Flickr by copying the events and then clicking share button in iPhoto and choosing Flickr. After some events appeared in Flickr in new albums, I realized I had lost some of the events and photos in iPhoto. If I open iPhoto I see my events some with cover photos and some just a black box with original title but empty. When I click the ones with cover photo, many have only a few photos (originally they had many more) and worse when I click the thumbnails a black box appears with a gray triangle and an exclamation mark in the middle. I have followed the rebuilding option from iPhoto First Aid but got no where. The library shows that I have the original number of photos I had (over 38,000) and also the same number of events and album titles BUT the original photos are mostly missing, only a few thousand are showing in the original size! Most of thumbnails seem to be there though many are also missing. I just cannot locate the originals. In the Masters file in iPhoto Library I don't see many original photos either. It just seems all my photos are deleted! The subfolders in Masters are 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 (I suppose for the 4 years I have used this Mac). The sub-subfolders under each year are named with numbers, like under 2011 there is only one called 11, under 2012 there is 05 and 07 sub-sub folders, under 2013, 04 and 08, and there are more under 2014 from 02 to 08. When I click any of these sub-sub folders I get additional folders with numbers but no order. If I click these folders I get a long number folder which is generally empty except for some where I can see original photos. I even tried to see if I could find a backup of iPhoto Library through Time Machine (I use CCC to backup my Mac) but the Library files I found were all from the time AFTER I had tried to share my photos in Flickr. So I did not find additional originals. It seems Flickr has just literally deleted most of my originals by taking them away from my hard disk!! Unfortunately they don't show up in Flickr either!
What has happened to my original photos? Are they lost or deleted for ever? I tried to use recovery software to see on my hard disk whether there were any of my original photos but didn't see them. Can someone help/advise what to do? I use an I Mac with OSX 10.9.4?and iPhoto 9.5.1. Thank you.

Thank you Terence. Let me explain better. I wanted to have a copy of my photos in Flickr. So I tested with selecting one event in iPhoto and using the Share button to copy the photos it contained in an Album in Flickr. That worked ok. Then I selected all my events and clicked Share in iPhoto to copy them to Flickr. That is where things got probably messed up. As there were many original photos, this took a long time over few days and I tried to stop it. Whatever went wrong there isn't clear to me. When I went back to iPhoto next I saw the situation described above. Most original disappeared. Unfortunately, the back up I found in my external disk is from the same time I seem to have lost the files. I have copied into iPhoto Lib but it has the same problem with most originals missing. The funny thing is that when I noticed my photos were missing, I checked the size iPhoto Lib and it was about 25GB. Then I went and checked the 7 backups of Pictures in Time Machine and noticed two were around 100GB from Two weeks earlier just about the time I did the Flickr transfer. So I selected one of those and opened iPhoto using that bigger file. But it was still too short of the original 38,000 photos only a few thousands.

Organizing photos in Iphoto is a big pain and

Does anyone have issues with getting IPHOTO organized? I upgraded to the version 11 from the 08 because I thought that there would be some additional features related to the way that photos and events could be handled. I was very dissappointed to find out that there is absolutely no improvements or changes to the way that photos and events could be organized. First of all, who in the heck has time to name, rate, assign keywords etc.. to their photos upon import from camera. It is very difficut to find photos with Iphoto. I have a huge amount of photos. If I view photos instead of view events, how in the heck am I to drag photos from one event to another? I have so many photos that if I leave all of the photos expanded then you have to scroll to much up or down while trying to hang on to the photo long enough to get it where you want it. If you collapse the photos, then you cannot see them.
If you create albums and try to drag photos from existing events to the new albums, it makes no sense to have to go back and delete the photo from the place that you dragged it from. At least I think this is how it is. I may have thought it was like this and the found out that when i did go back to delete the orginal destination location, that it also deleted it in the new album.
I see where a couple of features were added to the photo editing features between the two versions, but not worth upgrading and paying the extra cost.
If it is easier than what I seem to be making it, it is because the Iphoto help has not improved either. It is still very basic and very vague as before.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

You'd be wrong. There's only one real imge file in iPhoto and that's located in the Event. All other occurances of that photo, albums, books, calendars, etc. are only virtual links to the actual file in the Event.
Albums let you group photos togeher regardless of when they were taken and what event they are in. Keywords can be applied all photos in an event by bringing fierst opening the event, bringing up the Keyword pane
Click to view full size
selecting the first photo, clicking on the keyword you want to assign, move to the next photo with the right arrow key on the keyboard, clicking on the next keyword, etc. Takes only a minute or so. You first have to create the keywords you want to use, people's names, places, etc.
Then you can just search by keyword, create a Smart album to look for one or more keywords, etc.
iPhoto is a database driven DAM (digital asset management) application so you should learn to use it properly. A little upfront effort can save a lot of time later on. And this is how it's been for most of the version of iPhoto.

Drag and drop imported photos in iPhoto '09 causes duplication of old existing photos and loss if new photos

Good Afternoon All,
I'd be grateful for any help with the following problem.
     After importing about 30 photos from my camera into iPhoto '09 (version 8.1.2), I selected the first group of 10 and dragged and dropped them into an existing album in my iPhoto library.        I repeated this process with another group of photos , dropping them into a different existing album. Again, I repeated this process with the last remaining photos from the original imported group of 30.
      This is exactly the same process I have used successfully on many previous occasions when adding to my iPhoto library of 6000+ photos.
       However when I later opened each of the 3 existing albums to check on the 30 new photos none of these new photos were visible.     Instead each of the three albums now contained between 5 and 15 duplicates of old photos from different and unrelated albums in addition to their normal content.       These duplicates were not present before I imported the 30 new photos.    I then opened every Album in my entire library of 6000+ photos without finding any sign of the 30 new photos.   These 30 photos have also disappeared from "Last Import" which now shows a blank page with 0 imports.
     I still have the 30 new photos saved on my camera and could import them again. My concern is that with my very limited diagnostic skills re. my iMac OS X (10.6.8) I may aggravate the problem
Thank you

Morning Terence
                         Thank you for your suggestion. When I held the Option Key and opened iPhoto the resulting menu showed 2 libraries , "iPhoto Library" and "iPhoto Library (default )".
     I then recalled that 12 months ago I had created this duplicate library when attempting to recover some lost photos.    On opening each of these two libraries in turn, I notice that they are not identical. Rather than create another new library, I imported some new photos into "iPhoto Library " and was then able to drag and drop successfully into this library.    When I tried to do the same with "iPhoto Library (default )" all the problems originally described re-occured.
     Having found the problem is in the Default library I would now like to move some photos from it into "iPhoto Library" and then remove the Default Library.
     Could you recommend how best to do this or is it not a good idea?
Regards.....Gilvin

Photos from iPhoto used in iMovie

I previously posted this question in the iMovie community, but received no response. I'm hoping someone here will have some knowledge on my situation.
I have created 2 movies in iMovie that use some videos uploaded to iMovie and also some photos from iPhoto. I have since decided to move all of my photos to Adobe Lightroom. To do so, I have exported photos event by event from iPhoto to a new location, imported them into Lightroom, and then deleted the event from iPhoto. For those iPhoto events where I have used photos in iMovies, I have yet to delete the events from iPhoto. I assume that iMovie will be very confused about the location of the photos and will no longer be able to play the movie. Should I just keep these events in iPhoto in addition to having a copy of the photos in Lightroom? Can iMovie "see" photos in Lightroom, so I can create additional iMovies taking photos from Lightroom?
I have 2 goals here: 1) not break 2 existing iMovies that use photos from iPhoto, 2) be able to create new iMovies using video and also photos from Lightroom.
Is this possible?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

You can check easily if iMovie will continue to work with photos after you've deleted them from iPhoto - simply make a quick project in iMovie and then delete the photos from iPhoto. I do believe they will but not absolutely certain.
No I don't believe you can share photos from LR to iMovie like you can from iPhoto or Aperture because LR has no knowledge or way of working with the Media Browser system. You'll need to export from it to the Finder and from there to iMovie.

Unable to add additional photos to shared photo stream, not updating on iOS devices either.

I am sharing photos from a vacation with family and I am not able to add additional photos to the photo stream. I set it up in iPhoto on my Mac. I think it originally tapped out for some reason because I hit a daily limit for number of photos uploaded. I had about 440 photos in the photo stream. I went and deleted some photos and now have 350 but the iOS devices haven't dropped down to that number yet. When I manually drag a new photo to add to the photo stream it doesn't add. Any thoughts on how to correct?

I turned off photo sharing in iphoto and then turned it back on and that resolved the issue.

How do I get Photos in iPhoto?

I have added photos to iPhoto 6 program. I then installed Leopard. Now, when I open (or try to open) iPhoto I get blank image areas. They have the same sizes and orientation as photos would have but there are no images. I can't do anything to get the photos. What have I done? I need to get these photos back soon, before my better half tries to view them.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
If that fails, then you may have a damaged database file:
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums back.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

How do i organize photos in iPhoto?

I have many duplicate photos in iphoto, and cannot figure how to organize the photos by folder. I have created a few, and added photos, but they appear to be "copies" rather than a move....I haven't ever done this on a MAC, just a PC...so perhaps I'm missing something....any suggestions would be very appreciated!
Additionally, I seem to be a bit confused regarding the "camera roll", " library" and "photo stream". My iphone is nearing full memory (planning to upgrade to 32 or 64 G), and not sure is I delete my photos, if they will be removed from my MAC data.
Thanks again

With iPhoto folders contain only albums or other folders - folders can not contain photos
Organization is done with albums and smart albums. Adding key words to photos lets you effectively use smart albums
I use the old standard Who, What, When, Where & Why scheme
Faces does who
Places (combined with my GPS camera) does where
The camera also does when
Why & what get keywords
Also note that placing a photo in an album or smart album does not copy it - it just creates database entries ( pointers to the photos in the library) so it does not take additional space
