Photos deleted from iPhoto, but still in Library folder

iPhoto 9.5.1
Strange behavior in iPhoto : let's say I imported 100 photos. Then, in iPhoto, deleted 80, keeping 20. Emptied trash in iPhoto. Then emptied Trash in Finder.
Let's say the "_DSC1234.JPG" photo was among deleted files. When searching "_DSC1234.JPG" in Spotlight, I find it in the "Master" folder of the "iPhoto Library" folder (Photothèque in French).
I've got a lot of photos deleted, but kept in Library, Not good for privacy, not good for hard drive space.
For exemple, I find 514 ".NEF" photos in the iPhoto searchbox. But when searching in the iPhoto LIbrary folder with Spotlight for files with ".NEF" in their names, I find 1048 ! No duplicates, no previews or "faces" (hey are in JPEG), but photos I deleted, before emptying iPhoto and Finder trash !!
Rebuilding Library didn't help.
I'm using a user account not allowed to administrate the computer. Maybe a link ?
The question was already asked, but never answered :
Growing iPhoto Library, deleted photos still in folders
Deleted Photos: Why are they still in my iphoto library folder?
Photos deleted from within iPhoto are still in Library folder
Thanks for your help !

Strange behavior again, with the original library : If I select NO event and use the menu Information, I've got 14.634 photos. If I select all events, I've got 15.760 photos. How can I have more photos in all events than in my Library ??????
Check, if you have hidden photos.
File > New Smart Album, with a rule: Photo is hidden
In my iPhoto Library the "Hidden" flag accounts for the difference in the Photos count between selecting all events and no events.
Make sure, "View > Hidden Photos" is enabled in the View menu, so you can recognize hidden photos by the X.

I uploaded pictures from a second camera and my iphoto created a second library, how do i get back to the first library?

I uploaded pictures from a second camera and my iphoto created a second library, how do i get back to the first library? Can anyone help?

I have no idea what you did or what happened - but I can assure you that loading from a different camera does not create a new library
So you need to supply information and someone here will assist you in sorting this out and figuring out what you really did
What version of iPhoto do you have? What version of the OS? Why do you think that a second library has been created? What do you see when you launch iPhoto with the optipon kep depressed and use the select library option? Where is your iPhoto library normally?
Anything else you can tell us that might help?

HT4889 How can I transfer my iPhoto photos and iTunes library to my new iMac?

How can I transfer my iPhoto photos and iTunes library to my new iMac?

If the Migration Assistant won't do it, move them over as you would any other folder; they're located in the Pictures and Music folders of your home folder by default. The iPhoto library needs to be transferred via a drive, partition, or disk image formatted as Mac OS Extended or through an AFP network share.

IPhoto asked to upgrade library and has now come up empty even though my iPhoto file is over 130GB. How do I get back my photos?

iPhoto asked to upgrade library and has now come up empty even though my iPhoto file is over 130GB. How do I get back my photos? I am using OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 with Mavericks. My iPhoto is 9.6. I am very concerned as this file has all my photos for the last 15 years!

If the iPhoto Library is still 130 GB large, your photos are probably still inside; perhaps the library has a corruption.
Or the iPhoto Library is on drive, that is incompatible with iPhoto. Where is your iPhoto Library stored?
To check for a library corruption: Ctrl-click or right-click the iPhoto library and select "Show Package Contents". This will show the folders inside the library package.
Are there folders called "Masters" or "Old Masters"?
If there is a folder "Old Masters", you are having a problem with recent bug, that corrupts iPhoto Libraries when upgrading. In that case, it would be best to restore your iPhoto Library from a backup you made before you upgraded to Yosemite.
Or, if no backup is available, copy the "old Masters" folder to a folder on your Desktop and create a new iPhoto library and import the Old Masters folder.
If there is no folder "old Masters" try to rebuild your iPhoto Library with the First Aid tools :
Make a backup copy of your iPhoto Library, but don't overwrite any older backups.
To launch the "First Aid Tools" hold down the options-command keys ⌥⌘ while double clicking your iPhoto Library.
Keep the keys held down firmly until the First Aid panel appears.
Select "Rebuild Database".

I would like to copy my iPhoto (9.4.1) library from my Mac Pro (10.7.5) to a Macbook Pro (10.7.5). Can I drag the iPhoto Library to Air Drop and send them to the MacBook? Will that then be a usable iPhoto library on the Macbook?

I would like to copy my iPhoto (9.4.1) library from my Mac Pro (10.7.5) to a Macbook Pro (10.7.5). Can I drag the iPhoto Library from the Pictures folder to Air Drop and send them to the MacBook? If I then move that to the Pictures folder on the MacBook will that then be a usable iPhoto library on the Macbook?

It would be better if you could connect the two Macs via a hard wired LAN to copy the library from the Mac Pro to the MacBook. Wireless connections can have momentary dropouts which could affect the reliable copying of files.
If you do go with Air Drop be sure to open and inspect the copied library closely to confirm it was a successulf copy.

Iphoto 5.0.4 library won't open in iPhoto 9.5 (Mavericks)

I copied an iPhoto 5.0.4 library onto an Macbook Air running Mavericks. The copied library appears to be recognized as an iPhoto library but when I try to start iPhoto using that library, it doesn't recognize that there are any photos in it.

You need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 on that library before trying to open it with iPhoto 9.5.

I need to minimize the space photos take on my MacBook Pro OSx 10.7. They are in iPhoto, Aperture, Pictures/Photo Library, etc. Are they taking space in all of these locations?

I need to minimize the space photos take on my MacBook Pro OSx 10.7. They are in iPhoto, Aperture, Pictures/Photo Library, etc. Are they taking space in all of these locations?

Are they taking space in all of these locations?
It depends on how you are using iPhoto and Aperture.
iPhoto and Aperture each create their own library files, and the default location for them is in /users/youruseraccount/Pictures
You can configure iPhoto and Aperture to use the same Library file, in which case your photos are only stored once. But if you are using iPhoto & Aperture with independent library files, you may in fact be duplicating your storage.
The second consideration is whether or not you have configured iPhoto and/or Aperture as reference libraries, in which case their library files only reference photos you have stored in other places on your hard drive. Setting them up as reference libraries does not duplicate the photos inside the library files.

Duplicate cleaner for iPhoto cannot continue as Library is not selected in iPhoto.

I.) Version Information:
iPhoto version 9.6 (910.29)
Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto version 1.8 (1.8.01)
OS X Yosemite (version 10.10.1)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012)
I have only one iPhoto library. I have launched iPhoto prior to launching 'Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto."
II.) Error message: "Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto cannot continue as Library is not selected in iPhoto. Please start iPhoto and select a library."
III.) What i've tried:
1.) disabled photo stream in iPhoto.
2.) launched iPhoto while holding command & option
a.) - Repair Permissiones
b.) Rebuild Thumbnails
c.) Repair Database
d.) Rebuild Database
3.) Disk Utility --> verify & (later) repair disk permissions.
4.) (after turning off file vault encryption) I ran resetpassword from the terminal and reset permissions exactly as described here: http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/15/repair-user-permissions-in-mac-os-x-lion/
5.) Deleted "com.apple.iPhoto.plist" (and subsequently recreated it at 1st launch of iPhoto)
6.) Verified that my user account is the owner of my iPhoto library
7.) Against my better judgement, I called their support. I even participated in the Log Me In Rescue support session. I hung up when their agent told me to reset Safari.
I'd like to think that I'm not an idiot, but I have tried everything I could think of. I haven't been able to find much online. I understand that this is 3rd party software, but I don't know where else to post this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Old Toad,
Thanks for your response. I was just about to try your suggestion when I opened Mail. In my frustration, I emailed their support last night. To my surprise, they offered a solution. I just downloaded this "beta" version, and it worked. I just removed several duplicates. I have posted the resolution that worked for me below. Again, thank you for your suggestion.

Upgrading iPhoto library to iPhoto '08 corrupted the library

I've seen discussions on a similar topic, but none with quite the same issue. I moved my iPhoto library from my old iBook G4 to my also old (but upgraded) PowerBook G4. The PowerBook G4 had iPhoto '08, so my library was converted/upgraded when I opened it the first time. This corrupted the library. I was able to rebuild part of the library but manually dragging the individual folders in the iPhoto package contents to the iPhoto icon in the dock, saving half of the pictures, but it isn't working for the rest of them. Specifically, those pictures whose organization (album names) were retained in the iPhoto library package contents were successfully imported. But for the rest of the pictures, iPhoto imposed its own organization in the package contents: that is, my album names are no longer there, and the photos are organized in folders with dates (eg, April 1, 2010) for their names. When I try to manually import these pictures by dragging the date-named folder to the dock, I get an error message. What do I do?

I would start by trying again - updating older iPhoto libraries does not normally corrupt them - connect he two systems together and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the pictures folder of the new system and launch iPhoto

IPhoto '09 - Separating large library

Hi,
my iPhoto library has grown over the years and it currently around 76Gb.
In an effort to make it more manageable, I'm splitting it into smaller libraries going by the year that they were taken.
The way I've been doing this is by creating a New Library, showing the package contents of the iPhoto Library in Finder and then dragging and dropping from the Originals - <year> folder into iPhoto. Every new library has two years worth of photos.
Now, years 2000 through to 2008 were easy to do because every event had it's own folder, the event folders had the same name as the events in iPhoto so once imported, all the events were there as in the original iPhoto Library.
Years 2009 and 2010 however, haven't done this. Although in the iPhoto Library they are organised in events, in Finder, some of them are named by the date they were taken and other folders are named by the image name given by the camera. Basically, it's a bit of a mess.
I'm assuming that the change has something to do with upgrading from iPhoto '08 to iPhoto '09 when iLife '09 came out. Is there an easy way to change how the folders are named without having to go through each one or is there another way to accomplish the original task?
Cheers.
Andy.

The size of the package file (76Gb) is of no relevance to iPhoto's performance. iPhoto is good for 250,000 images so do you really need to split that Library? Further, as iPhoto can have only one Library open at a time that means that the vast majority of your pics will not be accessible without first quitting iPhoto and selecting a new Library. There is some inconvenience here.
Your method of going about this task is not really splitting a library, it's starting a bunch of new Libraries over from scratch. Your method
dragging and dropping from the Originals - <year> folder into iPhoto.
preserves no work that you have done on these photos: no edits, no metadata added in iPhoto, nothing. It's as though you have simply started over and these photos have never been on a computer before.
If you must split a Library then use iPhoto Library Manager. It will create libraries for you and allow you to move Events/Albums/Pics plus associated versions and metadata from Library to Library. At least this way you will preserve most of any work you've done on the pics.
Yes, since 09 the link between the Events in the iPhoto Window and the folders in the Library package is changed. Try accessing the files via the supported method: File -> Export and set the Kind to Original

Iphoto 9.5 won't import photos from iPhoto 7.5. Library will not update using the iPhoto library upgraded application.

iphoto 9.5 won't import photos from iPhoto 7.5. Library will not update using the iPhoto library upgrader application. Repeatedly says it can't locate photos even when told to cancel. I think the photos in question are in Nikon RAW format.

iPhoto 9.5 immediately tries to "upgrade" my library using the upgrader.
iPhoto 9.5 asks you to run the upgrader to prepare the library for 9.5. It then will update the library to its format.
You need to do the following:
1 - go to your Applications/Utilities folder and double click on the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application.
2 - select Choose Library, navigate to your iPhoto library, select it and let the upgrader do its thing.
3 - launch iPhoto 9.5 to open and finish the conversion of the library.

I imported photos from an old iPhoto (2001) to photo library and can now see them as thumbnails but not when I click on them. The screen is black cannot see or print either. Is there any way to salvage those old photos? I now use iLife09. OS 10.6

I imported photos from an old iPhoto (2001) to photo library and can now see them only as thumbnails but not when I click on them. The screen is black cannot see or print either. Is there any way to salvage those old photos? I now use iLife09. OS 10.6

Did you import the old iPhoto library into the new one? That's not what you want to do because you will import all of the original, modified and thumbnail files as if they were original files. Lots of duplicates and useless small photos.
Do you have a backup copy of the library that you imported into to? If you do then bring it in and then use iPhoto Library Manager to merge the two libraries into a new, 3rd library.
If you don't then you'll have to try to fix the current one and then cull out the duplicates and small useless photos as follows: make a temporary, duplicate copy of your library and apply the three fixes in order as necessary.
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your HD/User/Home()/ Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your HD/User/Home()/Library /Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
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.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #3
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
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.
If this doesn't fix the problem you'll have to start over from scratch and create a new library from the files inside the Originals folder of your current library. But first you should cull out the small photos that would be the thumbnails from the 2001 library.
Move the Originals folder to the Desktop, open and do a search for Kind=photo, File size is less than 10 KB. That should find all of the thumbnail files which you can then drag to the Trash. You might have to make that less than 50 KB. Then Import the remaining photos into a new iPhoto library.

How do I get iphoto to upgrade photo library after upgrading os from snowleopard to yosemite?

How do I get iphoto to upgrade photo library after upgrading os from snowleopard to yosemite?

To add to OT's advice:
You may need to delete your current iPhoto from the Applications folder, if it is a version of iPhoto '11, before the App Store will allow you to download it from the main page.
To locate iPhoto at the AppStore, open the "Featured" tab and enter "iPhoto" into the search field.

IPhoto does not open library since upgrade to Yosemite

Upgraded to Yosemite 10.10. When iPhoto is opened, no library or screen appears and there are no contents in the toolbar items. I can locate the pictures in Finder but I want iPhoto to open directly. It appears that there are others that have had this problem.

Have you updated iPhoto to version 9.6? If not, then update. Only iPhoto 9.6 is full compatible with Yosemite.
If your versions already current, reinstall. Delete iPhoto from the Applications folder and download it again from the Purchased tab of the appStore. It may not have downloaded correctly.

How to deselect iPhoto as the default library viewer?

Hello everybody. I just got a Mac and I am thoroughly thrilled by iPhoto but I am already regretting setting the app as the default library viewer. I know I can find photos in the Finder by making iPhoto point me to the original file, but I just want to be able to see all my photos through finder. Under the folder names I choose. This issue is alarming also because I want to import 2000 photos from my old PC and I want them to be kept in the folders I have aready arranged. Again, I know I can view the originals (even though it's kinda weird the way they are organized in Finder now that iPhoto is the default library) and I know I can use any image I want with other applications just by dragging them. But I just wanna see the file system. Any help will be deeply appreciated. Thanks for reading in advance

When you import a folder of photos into iPhoto an Event will be created containing those photos with the same name as the folder had. So you can keep all of your photos in the same folder grouping as you had previously. You just can't have events inside other events as you do with folders.
However, you can add folders to the left hand pane of iPhoto and drag events into them to simuiplat the folder hierarchy you had on the PC.
Since you're looking for a folde/filer management system instead of a database digital asset management system iPhoto is not the application for you. There is a DAM application that will do exactly what you want. It called Media Pro 1. It's a professional DAM application. It's what I use to manage my photos and then use iPhoto for special projects like books, calendars, slideshows, etc.
