How do I delete iPhoto 2 to install iPhoto 6

I don't want to miss anything when I take iPhoto 2 out. I will save all my pics on a CD and/or keep them all on my SD card where they are now and have been put in iPhoto 2. So, what I'm saying is that I don't need to save any pics in iPhoto 2 since they are all saved anyway.

Donnette:
All you need to do, after backing up your image files, is to install iPhoto 6. It will take care of iPhoto 2 in the process and then when you first launch iPhoto 6 it will tell you it needs to update your iPhoto 2 library.
First, you should immediately update to iPhoto 6.0.3 and then run Disk Utility to repair disk permissions. The, before launching iPhoto 6 I would also do the following just to make sure all permissions, etc. are OK before updating your iPhoto Library folder: download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.

  • How can i delete the masters of iPhoto without losing my photos

    Mac Book Pro (Mid 2012) 13 inches
    256 Solid State Start up Insert in DVD Drive
    1T Hard Drive in reg slot
    16 GB Ram
    Mavericks 10.9.4
    iphoto 9.5.1
    I am currently keeping my iPhoto library on my 256 SS Main Drive of my MacBook Pro.
    How can I delete the masters of iPhoto without losing my photos in the main iPhoto display library and all their masters and edits.
    I take loads of photos and import them and then will keep only 5% of the ones that I import.  As a result I have a masters folder of over 50GB and actual photos that take up less that 5GD.  Is it possible to delete the master folder without losing all the photos and without having to pain stakingly go through every folder and pick out from literally hundreds the ones that i kept and edited.  How do I reduce the size of the masters just down to the ones that I have kept and not every single photo and video that I imported in the history of my iPhoto experience.
    If I delete the master folder will all the photos and their edits be deleted.
    If so, is there a way to just delete the masters that are no longer in the iPhoto library, while keeping the masters and edits of the ones that I clearly want to keep because they are the ones that I did keep.
    Why do they keep the masters of photos that I clearly deleted and emptied the trash on.
    I like to maximize space and this would help a lot to clear up for me.  Thank you.

    All the 5000 photos that reappeared after repair today were from my canada mega event, but for some reason it did not do it for all the other mega events.  It is a start but not complete.
    Try the rebuild to recover more lost photos.
    If "rebuild" with iPhoto does not recover more lost photos, rebuild with iPhoto Library Manager as described by Old Toad in this thread, but rebuilding with iPhoto Library manager will not recover your projects like cards, bilks, slideshows.
    Re: iPhoto glitch with retained masters https://discussions.apple.com/message/26354337#26354337
    Mostly the way I organize all my photos is that I make a folder for each country I visit.  i.e. New Zealand Folder, Canada Folder, India Folder; and at the same time, any photos that I import I delete directly from new imports and just keep the ones i want and then i go up to events and move the latest imported event into a mega event for that country and so they all get joined in a sense.
    As a workaround, merge the events right after importing, before you start deleting photos.  And empty the trash always before merging projects.
    You might consider to use albums instead of events for your country lists.   I simply use the events as basic containers. One event for each day of shooting photos. I found, that smart albums and searches are quicker in iPhoto and Aperture, if the events are smaller, also browsing is easier, if the events are not so large.
    You can merge albums and remove photos from albums without the problems mentioned above.

  • How can i delete duplicates photos in iPhoto without doing it one by one? Thx

    how can i delete duplicates photos in iPhoto without doing it one by one? Thx

    These applications will identify and help remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
    iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
    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.
    DeCloner - $19.95 - can find duplicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
    DupliFinder - $7 - shows which events the photos are in.
    iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - Free
    PhotoDedupo - $4.99 (App Store) -  this app has a "similar" search feature which is like PhotoSweeper's bitmap comparison.  It found all duplicates
    Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free - was able to recognize the duplicated HDR and normal files from an iPhone shooting in HDR
    Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: iphoto 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 duplicate 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 different 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.

  • How do I delete photos on the IPhoto import pane that I DO NOT want to import?

    How do I delete photos on the IPhoto import pane that I DO NOT want to import?

    your question is not clear
    if you want to delete unimported photos you can not using iPhoto -image capture can and youcan do it on yoru IOS device or yoru camera
    If you want to import only select items and you have a current version of iPhoto then you select the ones you want and use the import selected cuttom
    a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card --  I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos

  • How do I delete a event in iPhoto without it deleting from my Facebook?

    Hi I am trying to get harddrive space back on my Mac Air.
    I have copied all my albums to an external drive and deleting the originals from iPhoto. When I am doing this it is deleting all assosiated photo's from Facebook. How do I turn it off so I can delete photo's from iPhoto but not my FB?
    Thankyou for your help
    Tracey

    Stop deleting them from iPhoto, as we discovered on your other thread.
    Why not move the Library to an external instead?
    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.
    Regards

  • How do I delete photo albums in iphoto on my ipad?

    How do I delete albums in iphoto on my iPad?

    Photos or albums are not deleted in iPhoto for iOS since
    iPhoto for iOS uses the photos stored in the Photos app.
    You can delete photos stored in the photos app that were taken by the iPad, copied from websites, received via photostream or received in an email directly on the iPad.
    To delete albums copied to the iPad during a sync with your computer you need to do another sync. Once your iPad is connected to your computer deselect the albums in the Photos tab of iTunes that you no longer want on the iPad and then click on Apply or Sync.

  • How do i delete duplicate photos in iphoto

    What is the easiest way to delete duplicate photos in iphoto at one time?  I have 8,000 photos to go through with many duplicates.

    BUT
    Having lots of duplicates is usually a symptom=n of other problems - most often user workflow - maybe if you told us a bit more and how the duplicates came to be we could help avoid future occurances and even solve this in a better way

  • How do I delete all photos from iPhoto?

    My MAC is running very slowly and I have backed up all of my photos to an external drive. How do I delete all the photos from my iPhoto?

    Becky you can navigate to the iPhoto's library which is likely in your Pictures folder in your user account. You can simply move that to the Trash. HOWEVER please please please move that folder to the EHD you now have and have iPhoto point to that drive. Apple explains how to do this in iPhoto '11: Move your iPhoto library to a new location
    Once you have successfully moved the library you can then trash the old library and then empty the Trash. I suspect your performance issue may be due to a HD that is too full or it is also possible the HD could be failing too.

  • How do you delete a picture from iPhoto?

    I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro and just added some pictures from an SD card to iPhoto to see how it works. However I can't work out how to delete a photo from the album. I only want to remove one so how do I do it?

    Albums are logical things holding pointers to the photo in the library
    Deleting a photo from an album does just that  it removes the photo from the album
    To delete it from the computer select it in an event, press the delete key, empty the iPhoto trash (iPhoto menu ==> empty trash) and empty the system trash

  • How do I delete an originally installed app from my iPhone?

    How do I delete an app from my iPhone? I want to delete the stocks and maps apps, which I never use. I know how to delete the paid apps, just don't know how to get rid of the originally installed apps.
    Thanks!

    yep it would be great, to get rid of unwanted installs. or at least have an option to prevent them loading and showing. but til thats happening the above suggestion is poss. best, create new page, shuffle all the "useful" apps you dont need from system over there and place it as the very last page. any other solution would bring you into grey areas / require jailbreak

  • How can I delete repeats in my iPhoto library without going one at a time?
