How do I upload folders to new Photo Library?

i have 13,000 pictures in 600 folders on my PC and I want to convert them all to the new photo library in iCloud. The Icloud browser app won't allow me to select folders to upload. I have to open each folder and upload individual photos. Then I will have to create albums and put all the photso in the albums? This will take forever.

I'm having the same problem as Keithj999.
Your solution is not viable, as it only pertains to Mac computers, and this is the PC thread.
The problem: We have a PC computer. We have a lot of photos on the computer which need to be uploaded into the iCloud library. The only way this seems to be able to be done is via the iCloud website. When going through the iCloud website to upload into the iCloud Library (NOT photostream, as my understanding is everything there deletes after 30 days..) from a PC computer, you can only select one photo at a time to be uploaded. Having thousands of photos, this clearly is not a good solution to the problem..
The desired outcome to the problem: To get thousands of photos from a PC computer into the iCloud Library in an efficient manner.
The solution for the desired outcome: ???
I've been looking for a few hours now on how this might be achievable, and I have yet to find a solution.

Well I'll guess you're using iPhoto 11:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

How to make a 2nd, new Photo Library the default on open

well, we've now reached 15,000 picts on my iPhoto and you know what that means.
I read MISSING MANUAL (pogue) and now how, with option-boot up, to create a new photo library. Very cool.
HOWEVER: I wish this new library to be the default library when I open up iPHoto 5.
How do do?
JON

JON,
iPhoto opens the most recently used library by default. So all you have to do is create the new library. When you Quit iPhoto, it will be set to open that library the next time you launch. If you want to open a different library, you will have to Option-Launch to select it.
Also, you might like to check out iPhoto Library Manager. It facilitates switching among iPhoto libraries. Plus, it allows you to transfer rolls and albums between libraries while preserving the keywords, ratings, titles, and other database information.
Regards.

How do I email folders and multiple photos? I get an error in server message very time.

How do I email folders or multiple photos? I get a server error message whenever I attempt to do this. Thank you!

Not sure what the error message is you're getting, but it's probably smartest to compress a folder, or its contents, or multiple files into a single file, then send it.
In Finder, select the files/folder(s) you want to send. Right-click (or ctrl-click) the group, then choose "Compress...". Once done, you'll find a file "Archive.zip" nearby, or "foldername.zip". You can rename it, but then attach it to the mail you're sending. It is safe to assume that the recipient will be able to unzip it.
Note that mail servers often have size limits for attachments, eventually both your outgoing mail server as well as the recipient's incoming server, and one limit might be tighter than the other. But then the error message should be telling you...

HT6378 How to copy iPhoto albums to iCloud Photo Library?

I have several years of photos in my iPhoto library. How do I copy these into iCloud Photo Library, retaining all my albums? I don't want to just copy all the photos without keeping my organization.

After having upgraded all devices to latest version, I wonder how do you get now the Mac iPhoto library into iCloud Photo library? iCloud Photo Library setting has been enabled on all devices.
iPhoto on your Mac is not supposed to work with iCloud Photo Library. The new "Photos" app for the mac will be able to do it. The release of this app has been announced for "Early next year".
For now, only your mobile devices can upload to iCloud Photo Library. So you have to upload your photos to the mobile devices to get them into iCloud Photo Library Beta.
That is not easy, because you cannot upload from your iPhoto library to your iOS 8 devices using iTunes with iCloud Photo Library Beta enabled on the device. It will disable syncing photos with iTunes. As long as you are using iCloud Photo Library Beta, mail the Photos to your devices or upload using Photo Stream.

IPhoto Help tips don't help create new Photo Library

I have 35 photos of folks associated with the magazine I edit. I created a separate album for them in the present Photo Library, but I would like to disconnect them from there and keep them in a totally distinct Editorial Photo Library. The Help tips for iPhoto allow for this action, but in my attempts to make it happen, iPhoto would not launch; it continues to launch only in the original way, with the lone Library and the usual albums with all their photos.
Not wishing to risk loss of hundreds of photos, I abandoned my attempt. All I really want to accomplish is to house the Editorial photos in a completely different place. This collection will expand as the magazine takes on new contributing authors, but I don't want any of these photos intermixed with my personal albums. Part of the reason for this is that I wish to preserve my method of captioning personal photos with numerical prefixes. This is the only sure way I have found to have photos sort strictly chronologically; no alpha method works worth a fig. I would still prefer that the default launch would bring up my personal Photo Library; but it would sure be nice to be able to toggle to the only other photo library that I intend ever to use.

I'm not sure which tip you're following. When you change the name of the "current" iPhoto library, the next restart cannot open in the renamed library on its own. Your choices are to create a new library, or locate an existing one. If you follow the steps in the iPhoto Help topic "Creating a new photo library", I don't see how you can go wrong.
To bring up a library other than the current photo library, you would follow the instruction in the iPhoto Help topic "Switching between photo libraries". If you want to keep your several photo libraries all together in the Pictures folder, you just need different names for each of the iPhoto Library folders.
Export the 35 photos (simply drag them from the iPhoto window) to a temporary folder on the desktop, then restart iPhoto with the new library and import the contents of the temporary folder. You can delete the photos from the initial iPhoto collection any time after you've successfully exported them.

After creating a new photo library....

Just got my MacBook last week, everything was fine until I tried to learn more.
I have created a new iphoto library, creating some additional login names, do some settings to expose/spaces....
Now I have faced some problems:
1. RAW file could no longer be edited
2. RAW file opened appears very blur
3. RAW file opened cannot be seen after flipping forward and backward to other phots (appear as white screen in window format, appears as black screen in full screen mode)
I am wondering whether could this be related to some settings that I have set unintentionally?
Additional questions:
- how do we remove/delete additional iphoto library?
- how to move photos from 1 library to another?
please help....

I was exploring and trying to create a new library, I first drag the original 'photo library' to 'document' folder in the Hard Disk and rename it, then create a new photo library and drag back my 1st library into iphoto. when restarting iphoto, hold down the option key and select to open in the 1st library (the one renamed)
other than that didnt do any thing else.
is there any mistake in my above steps?
When you mentioned 'elements', do you mean the photo inside?
Called up applecare, was guided:
1. drag and put all the very first photos imported (inside 'Data' folder) into Desktop
2. thrash all the iphoto library
3. go library>preferences and trash com.apple.iPhoto.plist
4. create back iphoto library and drag back all the photos from the Desktop
the major problem here is that all photos now becoming JPG (guess all RAW converted to JPG in the Data folder) and all <50KB.
now I have loss the RAW file and dont think the quality of JPG will be good when developed...
I still yet to try again RAW file editing in the new library created. will update after I got home later.

How can I possible lose my entire photo library/ referenced master image file if I have downloaded all my images directly onto Aperture?

How can I possible lose my entire photo library/ referenced master image file if I have downloaded all my images directly onto Aperture?

CeliaJane, you need to distinguish between the Aperture Library and the Aperture Application.
Aperture stores your images in a database, and it is this database that we have to find and probably to repair, not the application (hopefully). And since you do not see any images, I suspect that Aperture created a new, empty Aperture Library,and you are now viewing this empty library. Usully the library sits in your Pictures fiolder.
Look into your Pictures folder, if you see a file with a colorful icon with three pictures, called something.aplibrary, as shown above. And also enter ".applibrary" into the "Spotlight" searchfield in the upper right corner of your screen. If you have more than one Library, you should be able to find them this way.
The largest file you find will probably be the correct library.
When you have found the correct file called aperturexxxx.aplibrary, try to open it in "First Aid" mode.
Select the Library and press down "command" and "option" key at the same time, while you double click the library.
Now the First Aid dialogue should appear:
Select: Repair Permissions" and see if you can open the Library again. If it did not help, try the other two options in turn.

I just reinstalled and this is the question that show "You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Do you want to quit and use the latest version of iPhoto, or do you want to create a new photo library?" what do i do next

I just reinstalled and this is the pop up that shows "You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Do you want to quit and use the latest version of iPhoto, or do you want to create a new photo library?" what do i do next? it just keeps popping up and loading but only gives a quit button?

Update it.
How old is your Mac? If it's very recent you need to update via the App Store
If you purchased at the App Store you need to update via the App Store
Otherwise you update via Softare Update

You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Do you want to quit and use the latest version of iPhoto, or do you want to create a new photo library?

Long story short, I made a backup using TimeMachine of my iMac. I got my MBA which was being repaired and i restored from backup. Everything works fine, except for iPhoto which is not saying:
"You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Do you want to quit and use the latest version of iPhoto, or do you want to create a new photo library?"
I have OS X 10.7.2 and iPhoto 9.1.4. I've tried:
Repairing permissions
Deleting iPhoto, installing agaian, and updating
Repaired iPhoto Library (stays stuck at 98% when rebuilding database)
I've also tried iPhoto Library manager which cannot even see the library
Tried restoring from backup from iPhoto and it messed up library (I still had my backup)
Quite frustrating - any ideas on how to get iPhoto back to life?

Dunno why Software update was not displaying the latest version of iPhoto (9.2.1 as of January 27, 2012)...updating to this has fixed the issue

If so, to remove the videos from the iPhone, I would set up sync to only sync pictures and videos checked. At that point, the iPhone would no longer have the videos on the new sync, but the iMac would still retain the videos. Sound close?
If it turns out that the movies are syncing from your iMac to your iPhone through iTunes, then I would think it is just a matter of changing your sync selection to remove the video(s) from your iPhone.
However, you may find that you may need to change your sync settings to not sync any photo/video content, perform a sync, then select a different source of photos to sync (optionally of course).
I'm new to Mac so I can't say for sure if it is what I'm used to, but on my PC if I wanted to remove photos or videos that I had synced to my iPhone through iTunes I had to first sync no photo/video to remove them, then either sync to a different folder or move the undesired items out of the folder I was syncing to.
But I no longer sync photo/video through iTunes, and have changed to a Mac Air so things may be different. But the key is whether or not these undesired movies are actually synced to your iPhone through iTunes (sounds like they are).

How do I view folders in the aperture library through finder?

How do I view folders in the aperture library. If I look in my pictures I have the applibrary there but can't access it. If I click on it it opens Aperture and I can't find a way to find the info throught aperture either.

You can browse the contents of your Aperture Library from the Finder, but better do not change anything inside.
To look inside the Aperture Library package
Reveal the package in the Finder,
right-click or ctrl-click it and select "Show Package Contents" from the pop-up menu.
You will see a folder with subfolders containing the masters, previews, and thumbnails.
The iLife Applications will let you browse the Aperture Library through the MediaBrowser, that is much safer.
Regards
Léonie
P.S. If your Aperture Library is referenced, not managed, you can view the master image files by selecting the image in Aperture in the Browser or film strip, ctrl-clicking it and selecting "Show in Finder".

Photos in the ?Camera Roll can be deleted by tapping on Select, then selecting the photos to be deleted and finally tapping on Trash.
Photos in albums that were copied to the device by syncing with your computer running iTunes are deleted by syncing again. But before clicking on Apply or Sync deselect the no long wanted albums in iTunes. Finally click on Apply.
