Cleaning up my iPhoto Library
I am having difficulty cleaning up my iPhoto Library before I switch to Aperture. In particular:
1. How do I process the multitude of monthly photostream events (i.e. "October 2013 Photostream") so that I can maintain the original photos in events that better describe them, e.g moving family photos to an event called "Family" (which I will later divide into appropriate "albums"?
2. It appears that I have many duplicates in my library. Am I safe in using a program such as "Duplicate Annihilator" to remove the duplicates to "Trash"?
TIA
You may have a damaged database file. To rebuild the library launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions. Select the first three options. It will be recreated when you next launch iPhoto and you'll have to reset the preferences as you had them before.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

How do I clean up my IPhoto Library?
I have over 100,000 photos in my IPhoto Library and with Faces it is totally un manageble. I have perhaps 20% duplicates that I would like to clean up. I have about 325 different faces recognized.
Now my IPhoto seems to be in a permanent loop. Not sure exactly how to start to clean up this mess. I have been using a Mac for about a year and am still not very conversant with Apple vocabulary.
Love the tools available on the mac, but need to learn to use it appropriately. Have installed Aperature, but it is so slow that I almost never use it. Now IPhoto is getting to be the same.
Somehow I need to start over and either divide up my photos into different libraries by time or something to make them manageable.
Please help me!Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
You can search iPhoto for duplicates using Duplicate Annihilator
You can use iPhoto Library Manager to split a large library into smaller ones. Note at this time there is no way to move faces and places data. However the next version of iPhoto Library Manager (currently in beta) will have this ability. It might be worth waiting a few days.
Noting your comment on the speed of Aperture as well: the largest impact on speed comes from too little RAM and too little HD space. How much of each do you have? Particularly how much Free Space on the HD.

Here is the etrecheck info. Please advise... thank you!
Problem description:

Wow, that's a lot of data for you to sift through, but I suppose you know what you are looking to find. I bet you earned every one of those points. Thanks, Linc. All the folks in the world waiting for me to share their photos with them thank you as well : ) Cathleen -
How can I delete repeats in my iPhoto library without going one at a time?
I have been trying to clean up my iphoto library, and find that many of my imports have been repeated in different places. Is there a way to clean out repeat photos so there aren't so many of the same ones without having to do so one at a time?
You can use any one of these applications to identify and remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free - was able to recognize the duplicated HDR and normal files from an iPhone shooting in HDR.
Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported into another.
PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
PhotoDedupo - $4.99 (App Store) - this app has a "similar" search feature which is like PhotoSweeper's bitmap comparison. It found all duplicates.
DeCloner - $19.95 - can find dupicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: i photo has duplicated many photos, how...: Apple Support Communities.
If you have an iPhone and have it set to keep the normal photo when shooting HDR photos the two image files that are created will be duplicates in a manner of speaking (same image) but the only diplicate finder app that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates was PhotoSweeper. None of the other apps detected those two files as being duplicates as they look for file name as well as other attributes and the two files from the iPhone have diffferent file names.
iPLM, however, is the best all around iPhoto utility as it can do so much more than just find duplicates. IMO it's a must have tool if using iPhoto.

Cleaning and organizing iphoto folder in HD
hi,
I was wondering if there is something I can do (or delete without eliminaing important or required files) to clean up and reduce unnecessary usage of my HD capacity.
Currently in my iphoto folder is the following:
albumdata.xml
Data (folder)
dir.data
iphoto.ipspot
iphotolock.data
library.data
library.iphoto
library6.iphoto
modified (folder)
originals (folder)
Thumb32Segment.data
Thumb64Segment.data
ThumbJPGSegment.data
any information would be of great assistance. Perhaps there are hidden files that I can delete that are stored in other parts of my computer ie. if it is deleted is the deleted file still stored somewhere else ?
thank you in advance for any advice
-y
Mac OS X (10.4.9)iPhoto is a database application (not a file browser) with limited version control. It's fundamental philosophy is to always keep your original, imported file in its original condition. If you edit a file, it always changes a copy of your photo. Each of the 3 folders contains a different, yet necessary, version of your photos.
Originals: holds your full-sized, original imported files. These are kept safe and remain unchanged, no matter what you do. This gives you the option to "Revert to Original" if you wish to discard your edits. Movie clips you import into iPhoto are stored here, too.
Modified: holds any edited version of your files, including photos rotated by a digicam's auto rotate feature. Also in this folder is a jpeg image matching the first frame of any movie clip in your iPhoto library. This jpeg allows the film clip to be represented when you view your library. If you shoot in camera RAW, the RAW file goes into Originals and a jpeg is created in the Modified folder.
Data: holds the thumbnail version of every file in your library. These are necessary for displaying your photos quickly. You see the thumbnails until you move the size slider up to a certain point, when iPhoto grabs the full-size version for you. The thumbnail always reflects the most current version of the photo, whether it resides inside the Originals folder or in the Modified folder.
DO NOT try to "clean up" your iPhoto Library folder from within the Finder. This is a recipe for disaster. Any changes you make will cause the link between your file and the iPhoto database to be lost. At worst, you can corrupt the database and have to start over with a fresh library (and re-import all your photos).
Anything you need to do to organize your photos can and should be done from within iPhoto itself. You can even set it up to allow you to edit in another application, like Photoshop Elements. If hard drive space is an issue, then you can move the entire library folder to an external hard drive and use it from there. The only catch is that the drive must be mounted to use iPhoto. It's very easy to do, so post back if you'd like instructions.
The one file you've listed that might be unnecessary is the library.data file. That one is left over from your previous version of iPhoto, and is not used by version 6. Look at it's Last Modified date. If it's old you can pull it out to your desktop. Launch iPhoto and test it. If all is well you can delete that one file. -
How do I clean-up iPhoto library in iMovie '08 and make my new ones appear?
I'm a graphic designer and I use Adobe Bridge to add metadata (keywords) to my pictures so they're searchable on the Internet - not just iPhoto (and iLife?) and after transferring all the image files from iPhoto onto my Time Capsule (external hard-drive) and deleting the Photo Albums from iPhoto, I created a new Album to import still frames/images to use in my new iMovie project. I cleaned out (emptied) my iPhoto trash to help free-up space on my hard-drive, too.
The problem I'm having is that my iPhoto library as viewed from iMovie - still shows all the old photo albums that I've already deleted and the new .PNG I imported doesn't appear; however, the old .JPG files I once had still appear with exclamation marks as the thumbnail images and I can't select or delete them. When I right-click on the iPhoto photo albums library within iMovie, I only get the option to open in iPhoto. I imagine there is some back door manipulation required to fix this. The iMovie and iPhoto software came pre-installed in my computer and I'm not so sure that re-formatting my computer with the start-up disc is the safe or correct answer.
I've been researching the iMovie forum to see if there is a file I should be able to access to fix a Cache file somewhere; however, I couldn't find any .xml files, cache files, or anything anywhere yet. Thanks in advance to anyone willing and able to share some knowledge. I look forward to resolving this troubling experience. My final goal is to use the .PNG file (which contains transparent data, unlike .JPG files which fill transparent data with white pixels) as a frame image if not as a floating graphic (i.e. picture-in-picture).Sean in the iMovie technical support area (thanks to my lovely Apple Care plan purchase) answered my question about how to delete the iPhoto library, which I no longer use (because I use Adobe Bridge and Photoshop CS3 to browse my photos and update their Metadata to make the images searchable not only on my computer, but others who don't have iPhoto, or iLife as well; even PC users and Internet search engines - when the images are uploaded as-is - without compression and changes that occur when uploaded to image hosts such as Photobucket.com, etc.):
Go to: *Finder >* (click on) *Pictures >* (and on the right, see iPhoto Library, Aperture, etc.? Select those files and...) *Move to Trash*
Now when you look at the Photos Browser in iMovie (⌘2) the folder, files, blank thumbnails and junk are (thankfully) gone!
As for using images located elsewhere for use in iMovie - I just have to locate them via the Finder, then select the file, then drag-and-drop the image for immediate placement into the part of My Project where I want to use the image and repeat this method for each incidence I want the graphic to appear.
Unfortunately, I must upgrade to iMovie '09 if I want to be able to take advantage of the Picture-in-Picture feature, which would enable me to place a logo or image graphic in a video project while other parts of the production are playing, but I can still use the title feature to embed text information such as a business name and phone number or (website) URL pertaining to the project as a surrogate stamp, watermark, or creative signature, but no other graphic image files may be used here. -
Advice for cleaning iPhoto Library?
Hello!
I will try to keep this brief. I got my first Mac 6 years ago when I switched over from Windows and obviously made some mistakes along the way in terms of dealing with files, etc. in Mac vs. what I would do in windows. Over the past 6 months or so (now that I am finally out of school and on to the "real world") I have trying to correct the wrongs I had done to my earlier versions of my Macbook in my naivety (including 7 different instances of Python floating around random places).
I am on to my last hurdle, my iPhoto library. I have some ~10,000 pictures and ~200 events including some images that have incorrect dates associated with them and therefore do not sit where they should in the library. I have set place and face data for all images in my library as well once those features were introduced.
Unfortunately I did not let iPhoto copy the master files into the library, instead keeping them in separate folders in my pictures folder.
I am now trying to figure out the best way to export all of my events and save all the metadata associated with them (except faces which I know there is no standard for and therefore cannot be saved) so I can set up a new entirely clean iPhoto library without any of the crap I put it through earlier in it's life. I have no need to keep the "originals" as they are all unedited (except for the metadata changes in iPhoto) and all JPEGs anyways.
In my testing of trying to export an event and then reimport into a new library instance, I noticed that the masters in the new library are all being sorted according to import date and not date photo was taken since I have tried correcting all my image dates using the iPhoto batch editing. This may just be OCD of me, but is there a way to have iPhoto deal with the masters according to photo date instead of import date? I tried using Exiftool to change the "Date created" file metadata to the same date as the Exif metadata, but iPhoto still sorted the Masters by import date.
And any tips about the best way to dump the current library and put it into a new one and keep all possible metadate added in iPhoto already would be appreciated.
Thanks!leonieDF wrote:
So I found the best way is to simply export my library an album at a time, and use EXIFTOOL to make any other changes necessary before reimporting into my new iPhoto library.
That will not help with your original issue
The original issue with saving all possible metadata? Correct, I understand I definitely lose some information, but (except for the Faces information) I do not care about some of the other stuff being lost and most of what I care about (geotags, etc.) is still being saved to the EXIF/IPTC data upon export from iPhoto. It came down to a question of whether I care more about truly cleaning up all the original files metadata (or the newly exported ones from iPhoto that I will now treat as the "originals") in the event I ever move off iPhoto or care more about doing less work. iPhoto Library Manager is a great tool that I plan on making part of my arsenal, but to get my files where I want them now, I have to do this lengthier/more time-consuming process first because I screwed it up so much over the past ~6 years.

iPhoto will always use the date of the import session for the "Masters" folder. That is a feature, not a bug. If you want a different date on the event in the "Masters" folder, there is no help but to change the system date and relaunch iPhoto before importing and to trick iPhoto into believing the current date is different. You really would not want to ressort to such measures.
I figured, given that it is Apple and a package contents things that most users should never touch, that was probably the case, but asking the user community for confirmation never hurts. And no, I do not care enough about it to try tricking it that way. .

and some weird issue where it could not find the original files for some albums
Exporting reimporting will not find the original files. If they are missing, you cannot export. You have to find them outside your library, if they are referenced, Inside your library rebuilding should find them for you.
I tried relinking inside iPhoto to the original images and running the rebuild again, but it still had certain image images. So when exporting those albums with a few missing images, the missing ones just copy an empty symlink, which I then replace with the actual original image I have on the hard drive. Then copy the metadata over using EXIFTOOL.
Thanks for all your help/comments! -
Best workflow for cleaning up iPhoto library?
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for a workflow to clean up a large iPhoto library. Up until now, I have kept every photo I took. Now I want to go through and trim it down to the best photos. I know iPhoto can "hide" photos, but I want to delete them to reduce space, and make it easier to go through my "faces" and "places" updates. I was thinking of adding a "deleteme" tag to the ones I want to trash, then creating a smart album to collect them. Any other ideas?
Thanks!Personally I prefer going through and dragging the unwanted photos to the trash doing it in one step rather than making it a two step process
You could do it with key words -- or flagging photos and then creating an event from flagged photos and deleting that event.
Remember to empty the iPhoto trash every 100 or so photos - if you get too many n the trash it will not empty

Cleaning up iPhoto Library "package"
I've been using iPhoto, probably since it first came out, and the iPhoto Library seems to have some legacy folders and files and it. I'd like to clean it up as much as possible. Which files and folders should I keep?
Thanks,
TonyWell the bad permissions were 777 when I think they should be 755. Anyway, as I said, I ended up restoring an old version and the permissions in the backup were 777, but when I restored them they were 755, which is weird, but is also exactly what I wanted.
Also, I understand that many of the files in the package are important (although a lot of them have also been deprecated in previous versions and have been renamed to other things). The only item I deleted was the "2006" folder, which has no contents (besides .DS_Store), its total size was 8 kb, and it was created in March 2006 and last modified in May 2006. I don't plan on touching the package anymore. I am still also able to open iPhoto, see that my thousands of photos are in there, and was able to transfer them to my iPod just now as well. I assume this means the database still works, and hopefully it won't die on my in the near future after what I did to it, although I don't think it will. -
Use Automator/AppleScript to clean iPhoto Library
Hello,
Having read a lot of posts about the use of AppleScript and Automator to do things with iPhoto, I think it's possible to create a script or a processus to clean the iPhoto Library (let say, a copy of it) to eliminate "zombie files" (photos which have not been deleted of the iPhoto Library when emptying the iPhoto trash).
The script should simply verify, for each file in the "master" folder, il the path of this file is known in the iPhoto database (the data base is in the "AlbumData.xml" file). If it is, the file is kept. It it's not, the file is moved to trash (or to a temporary folder).
Should anyone create this script ? I should try, but I would need two weeks to do it correctly, and I'm sure someone can do it in 5 minutes... Some help here ? Thanks !Hi,
Try this AppleScript:
repeat
set r to (choose file with prompt "Select an iPhoto Library package" default location (path to pictures folder)) as string
try
(r & "AlbumData.xml") as alias
(r & "Masters") as alias
(r & "Previews") as alias
exit repeat
on error
activate
display dialog "This package does not contains \"AlbumData.xml\" file or the \"Masters\" folder or the \"Previews\" folder." buttons {"OK"} default button "OK"
end try
end repeat
set iPhoto_Library to quoted form of POSIX path of r
set AlbDataXML to quoted form of POSIX path of (r & "AlbumData.xml")
tell application "Finder"
set newFolder to (make new folder) as string
set dest to (make new folder at folder newFolder with properties {name:"Images qui ne sont pas dans AlbumDataXML"}) as string
end tell
set destF to quoted form of POSIX path of dest
set file1 to quoted form of POSIX path of (newFolder & "filesPath.txt")
set file2 to quoted form of POSIX path of (newFolder & "PhotosDataPath.txt")
do shell script "dest=" & destF & "; tFile=" & file1 & "; tFile2=" & file2 & "; iPhotoLib=" & iPhoto_Library & ";
grep -A1 '\\(\\<key>OriginalPath<\\|\\<key>ImagePath<\\)' " & AlbDataXML & " | sed -n '/<string>/s/^.*<string>\\(.*\\)<\\/string>$/\\1/p' | sort -o \"$tFile2\"

This script move every files in the ("Masters" and "Previews") folders which it's path is not in the "AlbumData.xml" file to a new folder on the desktop.
The grep command get all path in "AlbumData.xml" from the (OriginalPath and ImagePath) keys and put the result in file2.
The find command get all file's path in the ("Masters" and "Previews") folders and put the result in file1.
The diff and sed command get all file path in text file1 which is not in text file2
Before moving file:
This script check name of the file to not overwrite any file in the destination folder.
If a name already exist in the destination folder, the script add a space and a number to the end of the filename. -
Cleaning up iPhoto Library folder?
Once I learned the hard way not to "move, delete, rename, or otherwise tamper with files or folders in the iPhoto Library folder" in the case of photos I wanted to keep in iPhoto, but what about the pics I've long ago deleted and now just want to go away?
I've recently come across a bunch of old images in this folder that I trashed through iPhoto, but they're still hanging around in the folder taking up space. Can I delete them through the folder? Or will this mess with the current pictures in iPhoto? Does anyone know?
Thanks!
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)If you've trashed them from inside iPhoto, you're probably OK. However...
My suggestion is to use the Finder to duplicate the existing iPhoto Library folder. Call the dupe "Backup" or some other clever name. Trash these photos from your original library folder and then open it using iPhoto. Check it out as much as you feel is necessary to build your comfort level. If all is OK, trash "Backup." If any problems, trash the original and rename "Backup" appropriately. -
Is there a way to recover iPhoto library after erasing drive and clean install of Mavericks?
Is there a way to recover the photos in my iphoto library after erasing my SSD drive and reinstalling mavericks? My time capsule backed everything up except iphoto, and I had 3 years worth of important photots in there. Is there any way to recover them?
In addition to using a Time Capsule drive and using Time Machine, with this painful lesson learned, in the near future, purchase another high quality, high speed (USB 3.0, Thundetbolt OR FireWIre 800 depending what connections are on your Mac) external hard drive, formatted for Mac, and use a data cloning app such as CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper to make bootable clones/copies of your Mac's entire internal hard drive.
Bootable clones and data cloning apps are the best and most reliable way of creating reliable backups of your important data in the future.
Also, my other advise stands, too! If you have data the is like "gold" to you copy this data manually to other media such as CDs/DVDs and/or high capacity USB flash drives.
Sorry you have lost your precious photos.
Painful lesson, but good info to prevent this all from happening,again.
WIth computers, having many copies and redundancies of data is key to never losing important computer data.
Again, sorry. -
Freeing memory space by cleaning up iPhoto library
I would like to free some space from my macbook so I plan to transfer the photo files generated by iPhoto to an external drive. how do i do it? will removing the photos from the iphoto library affect its performance?
Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
If you're running an Managed Library:
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.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Hi there,
I'm trying to do some tidying up of my computer as I am lacking some space and i thought it would be a good time to sort out some issues with my iPhoto Library.
Some of my photos are linked to outside the iPhoto Library and I'm wanting to know if their is anyway get these copied to the Library? My preferences are already "copy to library", but I have a feeling this wasn't the case back in 2007 when I first dragged these photos into iPhoto. Basically I don't want to waste time finding out what's linked externally and reimporting it all manually so that it copies to the Library. Does that make any sense?
Cheers,
ThomasThomas

Cannot restore iPhoto Library from Time Machine after clean install
I was experiencing various problems with my MBP and wiped the hard drive after meticulously backing up everything with Time Machine, or manually. I reinstalled everything. I was relying on Time Machine to restore my photos and events in iPhoto. When I select "Browse Backups" in iPhoto, I can see all of my backups, but can select none of them. Any ideas to save a decade worth of photos?
Hi a:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
I am preaching, but +"wiping/erasing a HD"+ should be reserved for true disasters. That is a Windows process.
Now, trying to help (I treasure my own photos - a lot), go to your home folder (~pictures). If something called iPhoto library is there, highlight it, open Time Machine, and then restore it.
If that does not fix the problem, try posting in the iPhoto forum. There are some real experts with iPhoto problems that may be able to help.
