I don't see my images on Photo after migration from iPhoto

i recently purchased an iMac, which uses Photo, and don't see my photos after migration from an older mac which has iPhoto.  I see the event folders and the photo count but there's no actual image!  Help.

Is it here?

  • Missing photos after migration from iPhoto to Photos

    Last week I upgraded my desktop MacPro from OS 10.9.latest to OS 10.10.3. When I first opened Photos, it did the migration from iPhotos without apparent problem. But I have noticed that many (hundreds at least) of the photos from my pre-migration iPhoto library are now not in Photos. I mounted my pre-upgrade backup drive on a laptop running OS 10.9.latest, and can find specific missing photos OK on the backup. But if I search the main drive on my desktop Mac, for example for "P1440608", I get no results. I have tried rebuilding the Photos library with no change - the missing photos are still missing.
    One option is to erase my MacPro main drive and restore from the backup drive to OS 10.9.latest. This should put me back to where I was. Is there a viable alternative? Please note that my iPhoto version was 8.1.2. It will not open in OS 10.10.3, and the App Store will not let me upgrade to the most recent version. I do have Time Machine plus external bootable (SuperDuper) backup of the desktop MacPro, plus that laptop running OS 10.9.latest as resources available.

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • .Photos shows no photos after migration from iPhotos Library.

    I migrated an iPhotos Library to Photos Library.  Both files are around 409GB.  If I open the file packages I can see the photos.  However Photos opens an shows nothing.  And iPhotos is now useless so I can not get to pictures!
    And I have already tried the repair process a few times.
    Thanks

    Hi cwsummers,
    I understand that your current iPhoto Library and the photos therein are not being shown in the new Photos app. Here is an article that will help you choose this library file for you to use:

  • Loosing Photos after syncing from iPhoto...........

    I synced a couple of albums from iPhoto onto my iPod. Went back and wanted to get a couple more. Synced those and lost the others. I did a search, and was unable to get a concrete answer. Please answer this. I have a large family gathering coming up later this afternoon and want to show the pix.
    Thanks for the response.
    Lyle

    No, the old albums weren't on the new sync,
    but........I read a little and tried rebuilding the
    iPhoto library. Then I went back to iTunes and did
    another sync. This time I included the albums that I
    was missing plus the NEW ones I wanted. This time it
    worked. All the albums were uploaded to the iPod.
    Only this time, I noticed that it didn't take as long
    to upload the old ones to the iPod. I don't know why,
    but, after this rebuilding of the library, everything
    stayed on the iPod. If anyone has an explanation, I'd
    like to hear why this happens.
    Thanks:
    Lyle
    if you're asking why it deletes the old ones if you don't select to update them when you put new ones on it, that's just the way itunes is set up. they try to make it so you only put the photos on there that you want, in case you don't want the old photos anymore.

  • Photos not showing after migrating from iPhoto to Photos.

    I  just upgraded to OS X 10.10.3 and the Photos App, however when I started to migrate my iPhoto libraries (have nine(9) libraries) no pictures show up on the third one I migrated.  I checked and the migrated library file has been created (11.3 GB) however nothing shows up when I select the file and open this library.  Any suggestions by anyone would be appreciated.

    Try these for the first attempt:
    First be sure to have a backup copy of the library if you already don't have one.

  • HT204655 How to have a unified Photos Library after migrated from iPhoto and Aperture?

    The "HT204655: Get started with Photos for OS X" do not help. If you have previously used iPhoto and Aperture, when you "migrate" the iPhoto, then follow the steps to "migrate" the Aperture library, you end up with 5 files in your Pictures folder: Photos Library (from iPhoto), Photos Library 2(from Aperture), iPhoto Library (Not sure if can be deleted or not - of course no), Aperture Library (for some reason blank), Aperture Library 2 (Created by Photos?).
    So, looks like a mess and no easy way to make a clean migration.
    I've a hope that exists a solution to have a single Photos Library with the merged iPhoto and Aperture contents, like a real migration.
    If I export everything (From iPhoto and Aperture) then import in the Photos in a single Library should work, but will lose all the organization, faces, etc...

    You could merge libraries with iPhoto Library Manager, but I never tried this for merging Aperture 3 libraries with iPhoto 8.
    Are you planning to keep all your photos in iCloud? Then consider to merge them in iCloud, but it will take a long time.
    Are you using iCloud Photo Library (Beta) and have enough iCloud storage for the merged library?
    Wait, till your current Photos Library has been completely uploaded to iCloud.
    Then quit Photos, and launch it again, while holding down the alt/options key. Select the old iPhoto lIbrary.
    When the upgrade of the old library has been finished, make this library the System Photos library (in the Photos Preferences > General).
    Enable again iCloud Photo Library (Beta) in the Photos > iCloud preferences.
    Now Photos will upload the new library to iCloud as well and create a merged library in iCloud. After this merged library synced with your Mac, you will have a merged Photos library.

  • Photos disappeared after migrating from iPhoto to Photos

    I  just upgraded to OS X 10.10.3 and the Photos App, however when I started to migrate my iPhoto libraries (have nine(9) libraries) no pictures show up on the third one I migrated.  I checked and the migrated library file has been created (11.3 GB) however nothing shows up when I select the library file and open it. 
    Any suggestions by anyone would be appreciated.
    iMac (24-inch Early 2008), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

    Delete the migrated version, repair the Library with iPhoto and try again.
    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.

  • Missing photos after importing from iPhoto

    I have a big iPhoto library that span from 2002 until today.
    Launching Photo for the first time started the import of the default iPhoto library, when finished the problem is not everything has been imported.
    I have not done photo by photo check, but for instance all 2014 photos are missing and since I see less photo in previous years and in 2015 also photos from other years are missing.
    I can't reimport the iPhoto library (I have not been able to find how), so my question is how can I import the whole iPhoto library to Photos?

    First off that is a bad practice - never have any computer program delete things - import photos and keep them - after at least one successful backup cycle has taken place and you are sure your photos are safely on the Mac and backed up then use the camera's format command to erase and reformat the card
    You can try to backup your iPhoto library and hold down the option and command keys while launching iPhoto - repair permissions and rebuild the database form the resulting first aid window - that may recover your photos - if it does not then photo recover software like media recover is the next step

  • Missing photos after upgrade from iPhoto 08 to 11

    I just updated iPhoto from '08 (v7.1.5) to '11 (v9.5) and I opened a copy of my old '08 library.  Unfortunately iPhoto '11 does not show any events or photos from this library.  If I view the contents of the library in Finder I see that it still contains a 40 GB 'Originals' folder, but the 'Masters' folder is empty.  Is there a more involved upgrade procedure - that is, instead of simply choosing the old '08 library upon start up?
    I saw this earlier question https://discussions.apple.com/message/23844703#23844703. Though the problem sounds similar the solutions was to give up on importing and adding the photos manually.  There must be a way to preserve my albums, no?
    Thanks.

  • When my photos were moved from iPhoto to Photos in the last system upgrade, they lost all their titles. How can I restore them?

    In the latest Yosemite upgrade, my photos were migrated from iPhotos to Photos and lost all their titles. How can I restore them?

    There is an Applescript, File Name to Title,  provided by user léonie that will put the file name of any selected photos into the Title field for that photo.  If there already is a title in that field under the thumbnail it will not replace it with the file name. 
    tell application "Photos"
      activate
      set imageSel to (get selection) -- get a list of selected images
      set counter to 1
      set currentfilename to ""
      if imageSel is {} then
      error "Please select an image."
      else
      repeat with im in imageSel
      set title to the name of im
      if not (exists (title)) then
      set currentfilename to the filename of im as text -- retrieve the filename of image "Im"
      set newname to currentfilename & "." & counter
      set counter to counter + 1 -- increment the counter
      set the name of im to newname -- write the newname to the title field
      end if
      end repeat
      end if
      return currentfilename -- return the filename of the last image
    end tell
    Copy the script above, open Applescript Editor and past it into the open window.  Compile and save as an Applescript application.  Put the app in the Applications folder and drag into the Dock. Now you can select images in Photos and launch the app from the Dock and it will do it's thing.  It is a bit slow so can take some time for a large number of images depending on the speed of your Mac.
    Just to be on the safe side create an album with a few titled and untitled photos and run it on them.

  • How can I remove all photos and directories from iPhoto?

    How can I remove all photos and directories from iPhoto as if it was a brand new install?
    I am new to iPhoto and was unaware of how it works, honestly I still am a little confused as to when pics I am using 1/2 the time, some from iPhoto and some from MyPics.
    Anyhow, I am looking to remove all photos from iPhoto because during the migration of all my photos from PC to MAC, somehow my timeline became messed up and all my photos that have been logged my dates since 1998 are now all messed up.
    Although all my year folders are still in tact, IE 1998-2006, the subfolders and like pics are all intertwined somehow.
    And when I search iPhoto for a given year, photos from 2,4, 8 yrs back show up in 2006.
    Anyhow, I have selected and deleted all photos and folders within iPhoto, and then import the desired photos from MyPics, only to have the photos double up in the library. ( The old ones that should be deleted and the new imports)
    I simply don't get it, they fill the trash and disappear when it's emptied, then reappear when iPhoto re-opens!
    Can someone help????
    I have completely reworked all my photos so that they are all in the correct folders outside of iPhoto, and now I want to import those and only those pics with that file structure.
    IE Structure = YEAR > MONTH > DAY ( or if needed) > DAY/EVENT

    Do you want to remove the existing full sized image files also? If so then just drag the iPhoto Library folder from the Pictures folder to the Trash and empty it. But be warned you'll lose all of your image files.
    You are dragging the files to the iPhoto Trash bin and then using the iPhoto->Empty Trash menu, right?
    In copying your photos to myspace and then back the original capture date may not be retained and then either the created date or modified date will be used by iPhoto. If the files in the current library are the originals from your camera then those have the best chance of retaining the correct Captured Date. You can check that out by dragging the Originals folder from your iPhoto Library folder to the desktop and then trash what remains of the iPhoto Library folder. Then launch iPhoto and it will ask you to create an new library. Then import that Originals folder and it's subfolders by dragging it into iPhoto's open window. You'll keep the same rolls that was. The roll dates may change but you can check the captured date of the files by using the calendar in the Source pane.
    You won't be able to keep your folder structure within iPhoto. Each outside folder will result in a roll with the same title as the folder. You'll be able to create folders in the Source pane to put albums inside. You can create a smart album to include all photos in a certain date range, line one month.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 have got two photos by mail from iPhoto. My friend has put descriptions in the description field. The I got the mail I saw the description below each photo. If I check the photos with Preview they have Exif and JFIF fields but no IPTC field.

    I have got two photos by mail from iPhoto. My friend has put descriptions in the description field. The I got the mail I saw the description below each photo. If I check the photos with Preview they have Exif and JFIF fields but no IPTC field.

    Does you friend use any accented letters in the descriptions?  That might cause it but I don't know for sure.
    Has he run any repair operations on his library, i.e. repairing the database file? Another possible fixe that's easy to apply is the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
        Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache folder(s):
    Home/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
    and, if there is one, the
    Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
