How many is too many pictures on iphoto

will having a couple thousand pictures on iphoto slow down my macbook pro? It seems to run slow getting pictures to come up and even on other safari web pages?

I would consider an external drive to store your photos at this point, you are getting up there. It will free up space on your internal drive, then you get to have another go-round:)
By the way my wife killed 2 MBP's by ot clearing her drive of too many photos.
Drives are cheap, but some photos are priceless.
Just my thoughts;)

  • How many pictures does a 30 GB ipod video hold?

    how many pictures does a 30 GB ipod video hold? and i know it is probably somewhere on the website but i couldnt find it. could someone please answer me soon, thank you.

    A 30GB iPod will hold as many photos as will fit in 27.75GB of space. If some of the iPod's capacity is used for music or other purposes, fewer photos will fit on the iPod. Apple's site specifies 25000 photos.

  • How many pictures can i put on my new ipad

    Theoretically - you can put as many photos on the iPad as you have storage capacity left. The number of photos will vary depending upon what else you have on the iPad.
    DO I THEN DOWNLOAD TO A SD CARD?
    If you have the CCK (camera connection kit sold by Apple) and that is what you want to do, that is one option. You can import the photos to your computer as well when you get home.
    Read this for more information on importing.

  • How many images can iPhoto 2.01 hold?

    How many images can iPhoto 2.01 hold? What's the maximum.
    And why does iPhoto occassionally crash when dragging folders of images into the Album list area?
    thanks,

    I have 70,000 RAW images arranged in directories by year/day.  The only thing slow about it is during catalog backup. When first starting LR it takes a couple of minutes to enumerate the dates with photo counts, but that occurs in the background.  I detect no database related slowness while editing or performing random accesses and searches.  I have seen no difference in the above after having upgraded to V4.
    The only slowness that I find annoying has nothing to do with the database.  It is after a certain number of spot removals of varying sizes. The larger and/or more varied the spot size tends to accelerate this.  At some point it starts disk thrashing and becomes impossible to work with (I have to back up to a history step when it was running OK, which can take several minutes).  When this occurs the task manager shows a high rate of page faults, meaning it is swapping out stuff to disk (even though I have plenty of unused ram).  This suggests a problem with the compiler, but that is just an wild educated guess.

  • How do I move my pictures from iphoto on my mac book to iphoto on my new Desktop?

    I am not sure what how to transfer all my pictures from iphoto on my old mac book to my new desktop computer. Any help would be appreicated.

    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

  • Too many pictures in iPhoto.  What should I do?

    Hi.  I have over 33,000 pictures in iPhoto.  Consequently, it runs super slow.  What should I do?  I only have one iPhoto libary.  Should I have more? 

    No - and no
    33,000 is not too many - I have over 40,000 - someone posted today that they have over 300,000 photos
    multiple libraries is usually not a solution to anythingdo you have all of the sharing options turned off?
