If i delete a photo in my iphoto library that I added to a photo stream, does it delete it from the photo stream?

i can't tell if my question is the same, or slightly different, but this thread seems closest to my question so i will ask it here so as to not duplicate:
on my iphone 6 i have icloud photos beta on. in iphoto on my computer, i have photostream on, but auto import off. so, the only thing i have for photo stream photos is "icloud" under the shared heading.
when i delete a photo from the icloud section in photo, it does not delete it from the photos beta app in beta.icloud.com. if i had auto import turned on, i would think this would be normal functioning with respect to the actual events that get imported, but since i have it turned off and am working with photostream itself i would have thought it would delete from the photos app on the website when i delete it from the stream in iphoto.
similarly, deleting a photo from the photos app on the icloud website does not delete it from the iphoto photostream if i had already opened iphoto and thus the album had already been updated (though if i delete the photo from the beta website before opening iphoto, it won't show up in iphoto since it was deleted from photostream before iphoto updated from photostream).
so, as it stands - my iphoto only sort of syncs with photostream. is everyone experiencing this? i'll be honest - i still don't get the new icloud drive and photos, so maybe the issue i am having is exactly what the photos app for osx is intended to correct when it comes out next year. or am i just wrong in how i think the syncing is supposed to function?

I have 1000 photos in an iPhoto Library that won't import into Photos because it says the metadata can't be read. Yet those JPG files open just fine in iPhoto, GraphicConverter, et al. What gives?

I have 1000 photos in an iPhoto Library that won't import into Photos because it says the metadata can't be read. Yet those JPG files open just fine in iPhoto, GraphicConverter, et al. Any thoughts?

It’s part of the basic install of OS X. So unless you deleted it then it’s there in your apps folder. If you have deleted it, it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. You will be able to extract the installation package using Pacifist.
Alternatively, if you’re using almost any camera +apart from a Canon+ then the camera card is visible on the desktop and you can drag the movie to the desktop using the Finder and import from there.
No matter what camera you use, if you pop the card from it into a USB Card Reader then it will be accessible via the Finder. Card Readers are inexpensive and all round a better idea.
Why use a Card Reader?
Because it’s safer: Less risk of your images being lost if your camera shuts down during transfer.
Because it saves the battery on your camera
Because it saves wear and tear on your camera ports
Because it’s almost always faster.

I keep getting this message:
The photos have been placed in the folder /users/debbiecampbell/pictures/iphtot librry recovered photos_11. 68 photos found in iphoto library that were not imported. Everytime I open iPhoto I get this message. I have deleted the recovered folders numerous times. A new one is made each time I open iPhoto.

Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
Start iPhoto. Does that help?
If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.

If I remove all photos from my iPad, does it remove them from the photo stream also?

If I remove all photos from my iPad, does it remove them from the photo stream also?

I don't think so, I think it stores them on the cloud. I just did a test on my own iPad and although I deleted the source image in the Photos app the image remains in the Photo Stream

Error Message: Photos found in iPhoto Library that were not imported

BACKGROUND: I recently migrated my iPhoto'07 library of around 12,000 photos over to iPhoto'08. I reorganized all my albums as events. After that, I've been adding some old photos to my new iPhoto'08 library. Currently I have around 15,000 pictures in my iPhoto'08 library.
PROBLEM: Recently, iPhoto gives me this message "990 photos have been found in the iPhoto Library that were not imported". The number (990) has been growing with more pictures I add to the library.
OLD POSTS: Searching for prior posts related to this error in this forum, I came across a suggestion to delete the library and reimport the photos. Given my large library size (15000 photos, 60GB - all organized as events, no albums), this solution will take a lot of manual work.
QUESTION: If anyone out there has a suggestion for how to fix this, it'll be deeply appreciated. Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Open the iPhoto library package and look for any folders names Import or Imported or something like that. Here's what normally would be in the package. If you find any folders like that them move them to the desktop, open iPhoto and import.
If there are no pending import folders try rebuilding the library and select all the options. If they are true orphans they should be imported at that time.
Don't start over with a new library quite yet. If you have to there are ways we can preserve the keywords and comments. Also, with the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager you could copy all of the "known" photo from the old library to a new one including the albums, comments and titles. Then you can do some comparing of the two library packages and see where these left out files are.
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've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Photos found in iphoto library that were not imported

Whenever I try to open iPhoto, a message comes up saying that 4 photos have been found in the iPhoto Library that have not been imported. It asks me if I want to import them and I say NO but then it places them in a recovered photo folder. I keep deleting the recovered photo files but it just keeps asking me every time I go to open iPhoto! I'd love to just get rid of the "found" photos (I can't open them anyway!)
How do I get rid of them so that I can just open iPhoto straight up without this?

1 - do you have a current backup? Now is the time to use it
I had a similar problem and tried to delete the "not imported photos" - couldn't do it until I went in through my user folder, found them, painted them and pushed delete. All of my photos disappeared.
Can you tell exactly what you did? What "folder" you were in - what you "painted" (no idea what that means unless you mean selected)
Realize now after reading another of your posts that I shouldn't have done this but is there any way of restoring them? I didn't get any kind of "are you sure?" warning. They aren't in "trash". Any ideas on where they might be or are they just lost- a real 4 year tragedy.
And if you do not have a backup - this is the perfect time to start regular backups - you will have data loss again and only a backup is a sure way to recover

Can I recover photos lost from an iPhoto library that was on an external HD?

I had about 2,000 photos on my iPhoto library that was being stored on an external HD that is plugged into my AirPort Extreme base station 2TB. Today, I imported another 550 photos from my iPhone to that library and now all that seems to be there is the latest iPhone import. I can't find the old photos anywhere - they seem to have vanished.
I tried running iPhoto Library Manager's rebuild function but it only comes up with the 550 photos I imported today.

You can try a file recovery application like File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

Open your iPhoto Library package with the Finder.
Click to view full size
look for a folder titled Import or Importing and move it to the Desktop. Launch iPhoto to see if the message goes away. If there is no message check the contents of the Import folder to see if you want to keep any of those image files (usually they have not been imported into iPhoto). If you want to keep them then drag the folder into the open iPhoto window to import.

How do I delete photos in Iphoto library that have not been imported?

How do I delete photos in Iphoto library that have not been imported?

How did they get there and how do you know that they are there?
If they were not imported and iPhoto is not aware of them then you can be sure your current backup is up to date and tested, quit iPhoto and drag them to the finder trash - But be very careful because if you trash any items that iPhoto knows about you will corrupt your library
Before you empty the trash, launch iPhoto again and be sure everything is working correctly
It is recommended that you never modify the iPhoto library using anything except iPhoto or iPhoto aware programs like iPhoto Library Manager including adding, modifying or deleting items, files or folders within the iPhoto library
Your current case may be one of the very unusual exceptions to this - if they were put there without iPhoto's knowledge

I can't delete photos in my iphoto library

I just recently bought my laptop a couple days ago and uploaded around 40 photos. I wanted to move some to trash, but they will not go to the trash. Someone please help me

I have this problem as well.
I recently upgraded a library to iPhoto '11 (9.3.2). I cannot delete pictures.
When I try to delete a photo, I generate the error (in Utilities:Console):

(I hope there's no private info hidden in there) This is reproducible.
I have tried:
- delete iPhoto cache and preferences (from Library) and restart
- undelete all photos resident in the trash bin and try to delete a single photo at a time; have tried a number of different photos
- every option for rebuilding presented when iPhoto is run using Opt-Cmd held down when it starts (started at the top of the list and moved down)
- it seems to be able to delete for a virgin library (using a different account, I created a new library and put a single photo in it and was able to delete it)
- rebuild system permissions (Disk Utility)
What else is there to try? I'd love to fix this. I have many, many photos that I'd like to delete (give a 7 year-old a camera and some stuffed animals and it adds up quickly....)
EDIT: I've tried deleting using ctrl-click on photo -> move to trash and backspace, both one photo at a time and in groups; the photos simply do not move to the trash bin; when there were photos in the trash (before I moved them all out) the trash would not empty
EDIT2: To be clear, I am deleting photos from the 'Photos' listing.

If I delete a photo on my iPhone will it also delete from the photo stream on my mac in iPhoto?

I have run out of memory on my iPhone. I want to delete some photos on my iPhone but I want to make sure they will stay on my Macbook in photo stream.

If you have your iPhoto library set to automatically import Photo Stream photos
they will not be removed from the library (but will from the Photo Stream) when deleted from the iPhone). If you don't have the Autokmatic Import checked the select the Photo Stream photos in your LIbrary and drag them onto the Events icon in the left hand pane to import them. Then you can delete from your iPhone.

"Photos have been found in iPhoto library that were not imported" .. There's no Import Folder to delete

Please read the entire post prior to giving a response.
Our 2011 MBP has had this problem for a while. 15 photos have been found in iPhoto library that were not imported (twice .. every time). I've seen several posts that all have the same answer .. find the import folder in iPhoto, remove it and all will be fine with the world. Some say, it's importing folder, some say auto import folder, but all say it's a folder. Problem is, there is no such folder. I've looked throughout the computer .. applications, iPhoto, right click to show package contents, searched and searched .. nada. NO such folder exists. There are quite a number of files labeled "ImportPanels.nib" and "SelectiveImport.nib" all under "Other". There are also a number of import.tiff files with various names under "Preview". But NO folder with IMPORT in the name.
So, how do I get rid of the never ending 15 photos have been found in iPhoto library that were not imported? Help that doesn't repeat what's already been noted above in other posts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
(BTW .. it has Mavericks installed and everything is currently updated.)

I have no idea where you are looking. I have nothing even similar to that. When I go to Finder and click on Applications and then right click iPhoto (not iPhoto Library .. I have nothing with that name) and click on Show Package Contents, I have just one folder "Contents". That opens to _CodeSignature, _MASReceipt, Frameworks, Library, MacOS, Plugins, Recurces and XPCServices .. no other folder exist.
(I have show .. iMovie, iMovie 9.0.9, iPhoto, iTunes, iWork '09, Keynote, etc .. No iPhoto Library Folder is listed.)
If I go to Launchpad and right click the iPhoto icon, it opens iPhoto. You say not the application, but I have no idea were else to find this other than Finder which is only the iPhoto application and the icon in Launchpad and the Dock.
When I click the Library folder, the only folder is Loginterms which opens to iCloud Photos.
There isn't any folder names Auto Import or anything close. Searches don't help as they only find files, not folder names.
In your picture, it shows iPhoto Library as the header .. mine never shows that, it's always the folder name.
Where is the iPhoto Library Package?

I just downloaded Yosemite and all my iPhotos have disappeared! I tried importing them from the photo library but it said there wasn't enough space on my hard drive which is rubbish, because they were there before. How do I get them back to iPhoto?

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

A photo found in the iPhoto library that was not imported

Every time I open iPhoto, I receive a message saying "A photo has been found in the iPhoto library that was not imported. Would you like to import it?" If I select yes, a box pops up saying "Unreadable file. The file was not imported, the file was missing." and then the photo's path. If I select no, the photo gets placed in a recovery file. I can see the photo in the recovery file, it is a photo that I locked (and maybe marked hidden - if you can even do both). I've tried to go into my iPhoto and unhide photos so that I can unlock the original...I've also tried unlocking the photo in the recovered file. I've tried deleting the photo in the recovery file as well...I can unlock it in Finder and delete it, but (with my limited knowledge of computers) I've determined that I must only be deleting a copy. Where is the original...I'd like to delete it. I don't even need this pic anymore and it is SERIOUSLY IRRITATING ME every time I open iPhoto. And that's often, as I'm always taking pics of my little one. TIA!!!!! Sara

A photo has been found in the iphoto library that has not been imported???

When i open iphoto i get a message saying "a photo has been found in the iphoto library that has not been imported, would you like to import it?" I have tried what everyone is saying to do, but when i look under show package contents there is no import folder to move. only a folder that says contents and i've looked all through that, still no import folder. Even though i click no i do not want the photo imported it still is stored on my external hard drive and every so often i have to go delete TONS of photos and when you click on the photo it doesn't even actually show up as anything.

but when i look under show package contents there is no import folder to move. only a folder that says contents
You're looking at the iPhoto.app package. Those instructions are for the iPhoto Library package. That's in your Pictures Folder.

If i delete a photo in my iphoto library that I added to a photo stream, does it delete it from the photo stream?
