HT204414 how to merge my iPhoto Library into my Photos System Library or how to import photos from iPhoto to Photos?

Can anyone tell me how to merge my iPhoto Library into my Photos System Library or how to import photos from iPhoto to Photos?

How many did you trash at one go? iPhoto will baulk and possibly corrupt if you try trash too many at one go. Expereinced users recommend getting rid of them in batches of about 100 or so.
What's your plan for the remaining images in the iPhoto Library (the 2k photos and 4 videos)?

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 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 and keywords 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 import photobooks from iphoto into aperture3

    Hello,
    when importing the iphoto library into aperture3 all photobooks or calendars are not imported. Instead, they show up as pictures in a folder.
    Have I forgotten something or does this simply not work with the iphoto to aperture3 import? Is there any way around this (e.g. some kind of calendar export from iphoto with separate import to aperture 3)? Is there any plug in that can solve the problem?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    iMovie 8 accepts video in MPEG4, DV and MOV formats. If your video clips are from a still camera that records in another format, you will have to first convert the videos before iMovie 8 will recognize them. You can use MPEG Streamclip to do this. You may be able to batch convert clips; I have not done this and have converted them one at a time.
    Just drag the clip from iPhoto onto the MPEG Streamclip window and select to convert it to one of the above formats; save the new clip, then put it into iMovie.

  • How to merge two movies documents into 1 in  iTunes?

    Can anyone tell me how to merge two movies documents into one in iTunes? Sorry maybe this is an easy and dumb question for you, but I have totally no idea. I download some movies in Windows and use Kigo Video Coverter to converte them into mp4 format. So I can watch it through new Apple TV in my big screen TV. Now I am thinking maybe I can upgrade my experience a bit more. Because some movies are downloaded into 2 or 3 separated document and I have to choose and click them while seeing. Is there any software can merge those separated documents into one single in mp4 format? I wish you could give me several to choose . Freeware is better. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks. I've tried simplemovies application but it seems too much complicated for me. I read some passages online and bought Quicktime Pro ($30) and finally link 2 mp4 documents together. So easy. Only issue is I have to pay $ 30 .

  • Imovie 09 How do I stop Imovie from auto importing video from iphoto

    Imovie 09 How do I stop Imovie from auto importing video from iphoto.
    Hi I've done a lot of searches on how to do this but no answers found.
    Imovie is beginning to become really slow because of the large number of video's. It takes 3 minutes to startup. Editing is sometimes slow lot's of spinning beach balls e.t.c.
    I would like to only import the video I want to edit and hopefully get a quicker Imovie in the process.
    My Iphoto library is about 95 Gbyte in size.
    My mac has 4 gb ram and I use the internal disk.
    Any other ways to work with Imovie/Iphoto are also welcome.
    regards

    I won't get iMovie 9 till Tuesday, but based on what you said I may need to take some precautions. One reason I didn't like iMovie 8 is because it automatically imported everything in iPhoto library. What I'm going to do is create a new iPhoto library before importing the photos/videos from the camera. Or if you already have it in your main iPhoto library copy only the photos you'll use in your iMovie 9 project to the new library. Then start iPhoto while pressing the option key which will allow you to select the new iPhoto library you have created. Then I suppose that when you start iMovie 9 it will automatically import only the photos/videos from the new library.

  • Why does itunes randomly put my music in my trash and how can I get them back into my itunes music list? How can I prevent it from occurring again?

    Itunes has randomly placed some of my songs (it has done this a few times now. Not all of them but at times hundreds/thousands) in my trash and I don't know why this happens. How can I replace them back into my itunes music library? Is there a reason this is happening? What can I do so it doesn't happen again?

  • How can I import images from iphoto with the albums and folders?

    How can I import images from iphoto without losing the albums and folders I already created?

    In Organizer, you can choose File>get Photos and Videos>From iPhoto.
    Importing from iPhoto'09: If in iPhoto, you organize your media using photo references, that is, the media actually does not reside inside iPhoto library package, and are referenced through original locations, Organizer does not create new copies of those media and just refer to the original location. but if your iPhoto media reside inside iPhoto library, Organizer creates a copy all media in your pictures folder, also imports albums and tags and other metadata.
    Importing from iPhoto'011: In this case, Organizer always creates a copy of your photos in your pictures folder which resides inside iPohto package. It does not import the albums and other metadata like star rating, caption etc.
    Hope this information helps!

    If iphoto is like iphone with Variable Frame Rate, you won't be able to edit in Premiere Pro (or Elements) so you may need to buy Quicktime Pro from Apple

  • How to add photos taken in iOS 8 to albums migrated from iPhoto

    Does anyone know how to add photos taken in iOS 8 to albums migrated from iPhoto, or do I have to set up another set of albums?

    Albums that you synced from a computer can't be amended in the Photos app, the only way to add (or remove) photos to those albums is to do it on your Mac and resync.

    I would actually question whether or not more disks increase the risk of a disk failure. One disk can break as likely as one of two of more disks.
    Simple stats.  Buying 2 lottery tickets instead of one, gives you 2 chances to win the lottery prize. Not 1. Even though the odds of winning per ticket remains unchanged.
    2 disks buy you 2 tickets in The-Drive-Failure lottery.
    Back in the 90's, BT (British Telecom) had a 80+ node OPS cluster build with Pyramid MPP hardware. They had a dedicated store of scsi disks for replacing failed disks - as there were disk failure fairly often due to the number of disks. (a Pryamid MPP chassis looked like a Xmas tree with all the scsi drive LEDs, and BT had several)
    In my experience - one should rather expect a drive failure sooner, than later. And have some kind of contingency plan in place to recover from the failure.
    The use of symbolic links instead of striping the filesystem protects from the complete loss of the enchilada if a volume member fails, but it does not reduce the risk of loosing data.
    I would rather buy a single ticket for the drive failure lottery for a root drive, than 2 tickets in this case. And using symbolic links to "offload" non-critical files to the 2nd drive means that its lottery ticket prize is not a non-bootable server due to a toasted root drive.

  • HELP - V3.4.5 Importing issues from iPhoto

    Hi all,
    A newbie here so apologies if this basic subject has already been covered!
    I have just updated my software version of aperture to version 3.4.5 and I cant seem to locate any of my pictures stored in iPhoto via Aperture. I was able to do this with the previous version of Aperture. The pictures are stored in iPhoto but I cant locate them via Aperture..........hope that makes sense??
    Can someone please point me in the right direction?? I have tried to import pictures from iPhoto and I have tried to access my pictures via Aperture but with no luck!!
    Many thanks in advance,
    Justin

    The iPhoto Browser is no longer available in Aperture 3.4.5, if that is what you have been using.
    Now Aperture and iPhoto are using the same library format, and you could simply open your iPhoto libraries in Aperture. Only this requires, that you update iPhoto as well to the most recent version 9.4.3.  Then open your iPhoto libraries at least once in iPhoto 9.4.3 to convert them to the new format, and Aperture can open them as Aperture libraries.
    See: Aperture 3.3: Using a unified photo library with iPhoto and Aperture
    If you want to consolidate your iPhoto Libraries and your Aperrture library into one library, to be used with both iPhoto and Aperture, you can import your iPhoto libraries into your current Aperture library.

  • I attempted to import pics from iphoto to a folder on my desktop but somehow clicked desktop so 45,000 pics loaded, now computer freezes after trying to load everything.  possible to reverse this?  options?  restore hd from time machine?  pls help!!!

    long story short...i attempted to import pics from iphoto to a folder on my desktop but somehow clicked desktop so 45,000 pics loaded to my desktop and now my computer freezes up after trying to load everything, and i'm not able to just drag the photos into the folder.  is it possible to reverse this?  what are my options?  restore hd from time machine?  
    a further question to restoring my hd from a previous backup on time machine...it says it will erase the hd.  does it actually erase everything or does it just erase anything that may have been added or downloaded since that backup?  this is confusing to me.
    another problem which is part of the original problem is it seems that when i connect my iphone to my computer and iphoto uploads my pics...it doesn't just upload new ones, it duplicates and uploads every picture again...which is why i have 45,000 pics...they are 40,000 duplicates!  what's up with that? 
    I have a macbook pro, and recently updated the os to Yosemite.  the iphoto app is out of date, but i'll worry about that once i can figure out how to get all those pics off the desktop.  also, i recently purchased and installed 8g of new ram, but that hasn't seemed to help. 
    any advice would be appreciated! 
    thanks!!

    thanks for replying. 
    the booting and walking away and then attempting to browse and clean method is what i've been trying to do.  it won't let me drag and drop and just freezes up and goes to sleep after 2 minutes.  it's a never ending battle with very few results. which is why i questioned the method of just restoring the hd from a time machine backup.
    do you think restoring the hd from time machine will resolve the issue with all pics on the desktop?  and everything will be as it was from the date i restore it from?  sorry, as you can tell, i'm not overly computer savvy. 
    i have a really old desktop mac...i can try connecting the two...how does one boot a mac in 'target mode'? 
    as for the iphoto cleaning and organizing issue...that is what i was trying to accomplish with importing them to a folder.  was going to browse and clean from there...but somehow imported to desktop which is what's complicating everything.  once i get them off the desktop i can work on the iphoto issue...which as i mentioned...i didn't take 45,000 pics...i've just taken about 4,500 over the last few years, and they are being duplicated in iphoto.  this was my attempt to clean it out entirely and start over.  it will basically be a lot of deleting.
    one problem, seems to lead me to more...which is just my luck.  :-) 
    thanks again, for your help.

  • IMovie not importing videos from iPhoto

    I am trying to import videos from iPhoto into iMovie. It is not bringing in ( i.e. creating thumbnails for) anything after Dec 2010. The videos all show up in iPhoto and they were shot with an iPhone. Is there a date range set somewhere that I need to change. I can not even get them if I specifically try and import them one at a time through File-Import-Movies. When I try this method it lets me select the videos, but they still don't show up in my video thumbnails. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I open up iMovie and it then imports movies from iPhoto. The problem is it is missing several videos. When I select import video it imports those missing files, so I know it's not a file format issue... Anyone else seen this? Any suggestions on how to get ALL my videos into iMovie?
    iPhoto will import any file that can be played in the QT Player (i.e., that is "playback" compatible). On the other hand, iMovie '08 will only import files that it can edit -- i.e. that are "edit" compatible. (Would you really want to waste your time importing files only to find that you can't do anything with them once they are "in" the application?) Your solution is to convert non-edit compatible files to compression formats that are editable -- primarily DV, AIC, M-JPEG, Photo-JPEG, MPEG-4, or H.264. You should also note that both audio and video content must be edit compatible. For instance, many AVI files contain M-JPEG video which can be edited along with ADPCM audio which cannot be edited and so such files will not import.
