If I delete photos in "iPhoto" will those photos also delete in the application "Photos"
Hey guys! I was wondering if I delete photos in "iPhoto" will those photos also delete in the new application "Photos".
I transfered all my photos to "Photos" the second it came out, so I'd find it strange if I still needed "iPhoto"
Thanks a lot!
No, they will not be deleted from Photos. The two libraries are totally independent of each other.
YEs, you can now delete the iPhoto Library, but if you want yo do this to gain disk space, you won't see much of a difference. Reason being that both Libraries merely point to the same image files on your disk via hard links.
For now, I would suggest moving the iPhoto Library to an external disk "just in case."

When I upload photos from iphoto or any other folder it overwrites all the existing photos in my ipad. is there a way to add to the existing library without deleting what's already in the library?
No, apart from using the emailing them, to yourself or using a third-party app such as Simple Transfer (in which case the photos will only go into the Saved Photos/Camera Roll album) or the camera connection kit (Imported album). You need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad in one go, as only the contents of the most recent sync remains on the iPad - not including photos in a sync is how you delete them from the iPad

I have 2 questions about the new Photos app for Mac (I'm running 10.10.3 on my MacBook Air 1.8GHz Intel Core i5 mid 2012)):
1.Should I delete my old iPhoto Library Current folder once everything is transferred to Photos Library Current?
2. Does this mean that all my new photos on any device can come off my Mac and ONLY be in the Photos Library which is in the cloud? That would free 59GB off my Mac and that would be very good.1.Should I delete my old iPhoto Library Current folder once everything is transferred to Photos Library Current?
You can, but I would wait, until you have have been working with Photos for some time and are sure, that everything migrated well. There may be hidden flaws in your library and teething problems with Photos. Don't be in a hurry to abandon iPhoto completely. You may need to go back, until bugs have been fixed. Th Photos Library does not duplicate the photos in your iPhoto Library. the media files are shared and do not need extra space: See: Photos saves disk space by sharing images with your iPhoto or Aperture libraries - Apple Support

If you have enough iCloud storage. But Photos will still need space for local thumbnails on all devices.
See: Apple - OS X - Photos Preview
Fill your library, not your device.
iCloud Photo Library can help you make the most of the space on your Mac. When you choose “Optimize Mac Storage,” all your full-resolution photos and videos are stored in iCloud in their original formats, with storage-saving versions kept on your Mac as space is needed. You can also optimize storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, so you can access more photos and videos than ever before. You get 5GB of free storage in iCloud — and as your library grows, you have the option to choose a plan for up to 1TB. -
3,000 plus photos in iphoto trash but won't delete
We have around 3,000 odd photos in iphoto trash, but when you click on the tab, it just shows a empty screen, but also shows as said 3,ooo photos, and right clicking on it and trying to empty it does nothing!?
question is are these photos in there or not? if so how do i get rid?
thank you
MarieiPhoto_Pref_and_Cache make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
If that brings the library back do not try deleting all of the photos at one time. iPhoto is notoriously finickey about deleting large numbers of photos at one time. Create a new empty album, Shift+Command+N, and drag the photos into it. Then in the album add a unique keyword to them.
After the keyword has been assigned select all of the photos in the trash bin and drag onto the iPhoto icon to return them back to their Events. Then go to the album and and select about 100 at a time and type Command+Option+Delete to move them to the trash bin and empty the bin.

If i edit photos in iphoto, will that carry the editing over into the same pictures in idvd? Things like red eye, cropping, lighting, etc? I know it doesn't work if I have rotated a picture in iphoto- it doesn't show as rotated in idvd.
I assumed - it so easy to do and to often to fast.
If i edit photos in iphoto, will that carry the editing over into the same pictures in idvd?
To carry over to pictures in iDVD - made me assume that there was a project in iDVD that had pictures to whom
an adjustment could be carried over to. And if so - that might be in vain - due to the iDVD BUG that MIGHT also
hit Menus and or SlideShow projects.
BUT - I assumed - and may be wrongfully so - I'm SO sorry.

My photos from iPhoto will not sync on my iPad. I have Maverrick and the latest OS for the iPad--I forget the number
Connect your device, then select your device. The several tabs will now appear on the right.

It created two libraries "Blackberry" and "Photo Library" and I need to delete one but it will not allow a delete.
This is how Apple handles photos.
They are NOT duplicates.
Just all songs are in your library, and those exact same songs can be accessed from a playlist, all photos synced to your iphone are in Photo Library, you can access those exact same photos (not duplicates) from teh folder/album that you synced.
If you sync 10 albums, you will have one Photo Library where all the pics reside. You can access those same photos via the different albums you synced. -
How can I archive photos in iPhoto to a hard drive and retain the Album folders and the Events?
How can I archive photos in iPhoto to a hard drive and retain the Album folders and the Events? I tried to Export the Albums but just transferred the files individually.
If you want to maintain the iPhoto organisation then back up the iPhoto Library.
If you want to export to the Finder, well you need to create a folder for the contents of an Album and expot to that.
If you have an older version of iPhoto: Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events. This feature is built in to iPhoto 11.

When I send a photo directly from iPhoto using the Mail app on my iMac, the wrong photo appears on my iPad2 Mail app. However the correct photo shows if I log into gmail on the iPad2. I assume there is a glitch with my "Mail" app on the iPad2? Any suggestions for getting the correct photo to show on iPad2?
Update: I was able to have the correct photo show in my email as received on my iPad2 by changing a setting on my IMac prior to sending the photo on the email.
On the iMac, I went into iPhoto > Preferences > Email photos using > Mail (in lieu of "iPhoto"). This seems to have corrected the issue. I'm not sure why. Now the correct photo shows up when received on my iPad2. -
How do I move emailed photos to iPhoto with Lion? I've lost the drop down option.Karen
How do I move emailed photos to iPhoto using Lion? I've lost the previous drop down option.
Thank you, KarenThere are multiple ways. I am not at my Lion machine at the moment, so I am not sure I can remember them all, but here is one: Click on the "Details" button in the upper right corner of the message. If there are image attachments, the drop down menu should appear.
Or, try right click on the image. I think I saw "Add to iPhoto" in the contextual menu. -
I have just upgraded to os x lion 10.7.4 and I seem to have lost approx 4000 photos from iPhoto. Is there a way to recover these photos?
The Lion upgrade does not touch iPhoto. However, you may need to purchase an iPhoto upgrade.
Look in your /Home/Pictures/ folder for the iPhoto Library file. -
For anyone who has used "Smilebox" for greeting cards: I can take video made in Photo Booth and use in my Smilebox greetings and I can use photos from iPhoto to use there also. I have not been able to figure out how to take clips from iMovie for use with Smilebox.

I've set up an album in iPhotos; when I click on the slideshow it begins with the last photo. How do I get to run from the 1st photo like it use to?
If you're referring to the iPhoto application on a Mac then read Léonie's post in this topic and see if it might apply to your situation: iPhoto slideshow shown in reverse order: Apple Support Communities

When I try to share photos on IPhoto a window comes up and says "The server didn't recognize your username/password combination." Where to I go to fix this?
Hey, click on Iphoto on the top bar.
Then go to preferences.
Go to accounts, and change your user name and password for the email.
Hope this helps. -
I have copied many photo's from another laptop to my Mac. The older photo's are in directories with names that help me select what I need to view. I would like to have all my imported new photo's also bee added to the directory structure I have in Finder but my new photo's are all in iPhoto. I want to use directories for storing and iPhoto for viewing. Is this possible or do I need to have all my photo's in iPhoto??
MitchiPhoto is not a Photo Viewer. It's a Photo Manager and designed for looking after the files while you organise the Photos. It really works much better if you let it manage those files. If you use iPhoto you never go near those files because iPhoto is your start point for anything you want to do with your Photos - the point of the pplication.
You can run iPhoto in Referenced mode, where it does not copy the files to the Library, but I caution you that you are making life a lot more difficult for yourself by doing that.
How to, and some comments on why you shouldn't, are in this thread
