Iphoto clean up

Before reading detailed instructions for Photoshop Elements 6, used the Adobe Bridge to open a number of my photo files. As a result when I attempted to open the photos in iPhoto I could not because they had become corrupted. I replaced the corrupted files by importing them back from the Adobe Bridge, but now I have duplicate photo files in iPhoto, and I can't tell which file is good or corrupted until I try to access the photo. Is there a way I can identify the corrupted files using the Finder? Or is there 3rd party software that can help?
Secondly, when I access the Pictures folder in Places, I have photos in all sorts of sub-folders such as iPhoto Library, My Pictures, Originals and Modified, Rolls etc. There is a lot of duplication in these folders, but most of these are identified by roll number or image number. Again, I am looking for a way to identify and eliminate the duplicates in either the Finder or with 3rd party software. (I have tried to include a screenshot of my finder window, but could not figure out how to do it.)
I am running Leopard 10.5.7 and iPhotos6. I am planning to upgrade to iPhoto9, but want to do this cleanup before upgrading.
Thanks to any and all who reply.

Afraid not, in either case.

Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
Put it this way. Go to your Pictures Folder. If it's in the iPhoto Library Folder leave it alone.

  • 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.

  • IPhoto 8.1.2, 557 events, wanting to simplify

    ON iphoto lost links I found out that I was running a referenced library.   And from the link provided by Terence, it sounds like I can still manage to not get too many duplicates in a managed library. I want to make sure I get these steps correctly.     Currently my Pictures folder is in a second partition; both partitions are cloned regularly.   I have iPhoto 8.1.2, Mac OS X 10.7.3 with the Flashback patch installed.     It is an iMac 5,1 with 2 GB of RAM.   Naturally taking iPhoto to merge the events into one is taking forever, and I may end up if necessary just force quit iPhoto, if I can get the relevant info on how to edit my xml file.
    Intriguingly enough my Dock shows two iPhoto library entries when I click iPhoto.  I've tried rebuilding my library to no avail.    I would like to simplify and only have Albums & Keywords as my method of attributing all my photos by date.    With 38000 photos and movies all in one library, you can imagine this is a daunting task.  
    Is there a way to make one event out of the 557 easily by editing the XML file with Textwrangler?   Or will that take me longer?
    Can I just change  to a managed library and will iPhoto clean up all the duplicates correctly?  I've had the problem before where iPhoto deleted the actual photo, and not the thumbnail.   I want to avoid that happening.

    I find the directions for a managed library sound like it will make copies when I import.   Is that what it actually does? 
    Yes.
    Does that mean I can safely delete the original from outside the Pictures folder when I do the import?
    Yes.
    If the package status of the Pictures folder gets corrupted, will the pictures within it get corrupted,
    No. You can recover the files easily.
    Though, of course, the protection against any corruption is a good back up, as you well know.
    I'm having photos from one event falling into other events.
    Events are organisation for those who can't really be bothered. They are automatic - based entirely on Date and Time the camera records the photos as taken. You can move photos between Events, you can Merge Events, you can Rename them and sort them in various ways except one: You cannot manually sort in an Event as Events are all automated. If you want to manually sort in an Event then you've outgrown Events as an organising tool. Now it's time to look at albums (Where you can manually sort) which are much more flexible than Events as an organising tool.
    and just want a one to one way of looking at both my keyword and my albums so I can look and see where photos were taken, and when.  Nothing more.
    What's a "one-to-one" way?
    Regards

  • I lost photos from middle of iphoto library, no where to be found

    So one day my wife is looking at the ipad and asks where some of her pregnancy photos are....I look and they are not there..!
    the photos taken before the pregnancy are there.....The photos of the birth are there.....but not a select few in between.
    I check everywhere.....EVERYWHERE, not on my time machine backup....which mysteriously seems to only go back 8 months....
    not in my regular picture folder where i imported them from.
    I use all the recovery options from permission recovery to a full rebuild of library.
    I have no idea what happened to these photos. I was not doing anything, and have not done any iphoto clean up, I certainly did not delete them.
    my ipads are synched to my MBP, I do not use any cloud services.
    I am ready to accept that they are just simply gone, but want to check to see if there are any others out there who have had the same problem...NOT missing libraries, NOT corrupt librarys or bad upgrades.....just mysteriously missing albums.....
    OSX 10.7.5
    iphoto version (9.4.3) (720.91)

    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 #1 to repair permissions and Option #4 to repair 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 âž™ 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.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Images kept after deletion

    IPhoto 9.5.1 will keep images even after deleted AND trash is emptied.
    I have Repaired the database, Rebuilt the Database and the images I can see in the master and thumbnail folders inside the actual library do not show up so they can be deleted.  They did at one time exist in the library, they were deleted and the trash emptied.  I am trying to find a way to have iPhoto clean itself.
    Here are suggestions I can say I reject right now.  I will not extract all the images and import to a new library.  That is stupid since faces, locations and all organization is lost.  I take RAW and adjustments will be lost or the Raw lost.  I am looking for a apple or a representative to acknowledge a serious shortcoming in the software.  None of the tools that come in iPhoto can retrieve the images nor delete the images.  I could manually do it but this is a continual issue and a real Hard disk hog when deletion does not delete the files
    Anyone found a real solution to this?

      I am looking for a apple or a representative to acknowledge a serious shortcoming in the software.  None of the tools that come in iPhoto can retrieve the images nor delete the images.
    This is a User-to-User forum, so it is unlikely, that Apple representatives will post here to acknowledge shortcomings of the software.
    But there is a well-known problem with iPhoto's trash.
    If you put too many photos into the Trash at once, the Trash cannot be emptied.
    If you put  photos into the Trash and then merge the events the photos were in with other events, they will stay in the library, even after you emptied the trash.
    If your iPhoto library is on an unsupported drive, it may not be possible to move the photos to the trash (a network volume or unsupported filesystem)
    I think, your problem is (2). You said, that our build the library. Did you see a "recovered" items event after you rebuild the library? If yes, mot of the photos, that had not been deleted, should have been collected in that event, and you can delete them from that event.
    Else try to rebuild the library with iPhotoLibrary Manager as described by Old Toad in this post:
    Re: Copying saved iphoto library from external hard drive back to Macbook Pro
    The important part is:
    make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox  "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.

  • Time Machine Deletes Old Backups without warning!!

    I have just lost loads of pictures and emails when my Timemachine deleted old backups. I was so happy to have an easy way to keep my iPhoto cleaned up while keeping all the photos for the future. I would load my all the photos from my camera, backup with TimeMachine and delete the "bad" unwanted photos, confident in the knowledge that these pictures are still there on my external. I looked forward to some future date when someone would write an easy piece of software to consolidate old iPhoto libraries and even go through TimeMachine and consolidate those photos too. But until that fantasy event, my pictures, even though not wanted were still there.
    Not any more!!
    I replaced my hard drive and reloaded my laptop from Timemachine and I think that was the event that sparked the dump.
    There should be a special check box to make sure that NO backups are automatically deleted, EVER. They should be a way to make them Sacred!!
    There should be a way to create a separate backup just for iPhoto because right now, there are no good ways to easily break apart or merge iPhoto libraries. At least what I was doing worked, (well.... until it didn't).
    Any ideas??

    True, TM is not a classic archival system, but until the drive is full, the difference is moot.
    No, the difference isn't moot.
    I still have on my TM HD every file I ever had because it's only 1/2 full.
    No, you don't. Read on...
    Time machine has three levels of backups:
    1) hourly - deleted after 24 hours
    2) daily - deleted after a week
    3) weekly - deleted only when the disk is full - these are the only deletions you will be warned about
    Time machine is always deleting files. Every time it backs up, it deletes files.
    But the OP's real question is why he was never warned about the old backups being deleted, as TM says it will do, archival stuff notwithstanding. Apparently TM simply ignores the user's request to be warned.
    No, it doesn't.
    That being said, as I asked in a post not too long ago, "how many have had a warning from TM that old backups are being deleted?" as one would expect when the TM preference box, "Warn when old backups are deleted" is checked.
    It appears to me to be a bug.
    I ask again if anyone has gotten this warning.
    Nobody answered my previous post with a yes.
    Yes.
    Because Time Machine continually cleans up behind itself, it tries very hard to ever delete the weekly backups. The only time I've gotten the deletion warning was when my disk was full. I think I just avoided the problem by removing my old Parallels images from Time Machine and got back an extra 70 gig or so - good for another six months.
    This is not a bug. This is how Time Machine works. It is unfortunate that the original poster did not fully understand this. The fact is that Time Machine backs everything up. If you create 100 files, it backs up the folder with 100 new files. If you delete 100 files, it backs up the folder with 100 less files. Then, the next day, it deletes old backups. The only one it keeps is the last one, with 100 less files.
    It is correct to say that Time Machine is not an archival system. It is a backup system. If you want to save your files forever, you need to copy them to a location that isn't under the control of any sort of automatic software.

  • How do you combine mutable iphoto libraries and clean up duplicates

    how do you combine multiple iphoto libraries and clean up duplicates

    If not the only answer is the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager -http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - and maybe duplicate annihaliator -http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/18748/duplicate-annihilator
    You must have IPLM as stated - you may also need DA depending on how thing go with the merge

  • IPhoto made a huge mess, how to clean up files on HD???

    I have thousands of photos in iPhoto v6.0.6, and it has somehow made a huge frustrating mess of things. Some preliminary information:
    • My preference is set to "Copy photos to iPhoto Library folder when adding to library."
    • Under the main "Library" heading, I have five categories with the little yellow calendar icon: "Early Photos," "2007," "2008," "2009," "2010." I am under the impression that when adding/removing photos to an album, I am simply creating/removing links to the photos within these main categories. Therefore, I was assuming that if I delete the photos from these categories, they will disappear for good within the main Libraries as well as within individual Albums.
    Earlier this evening I attempted to delete a bunch of photos which I don't want anymore... I want to get rid of these photos in iPhoto, but I would like to delete them from the hard drive as well. I went into each of the 5 categories under the main Library heading, and selected hundreds of photos to delete. After highlighting the photos I wanted to delete, I pressed Command-Delete on my keyboard (which, in the Photo menu, says it should move the photos to the trash). I assumed this meant it would move the physical files to the Finder's Trash. After deleting photos from the individual categories, I went into my Finder's Trash, and there was nothing there. So I noticed there is also a "Trash" section at the bottom of the left-hand pane within iPhoto (very confusing). All of my deleted photos were in there. So I selected them again, and pressed Command-Delete. All photos disappeared without a trace within iPhoto.
    So far, so good.... My HUGE problem is that none of these photos were actually deleted from the hard drive!! I went into my home folder/Pictures/iPhoto Library/etc/etc/Camera Roll #x, and ALL of the photos I attempted to delete still reside on my hard drive as if they're still being managed by iPhoto!
    I'll be honest... I have plenty of time to manually go through dozens of folders in the Finder and look for all of these photos a second time and delete them. However I'm simply not willing to waste time doing that when I thought I had already accomplished that task by selected "Move To Trash" from within iPhoto, and then emptying the trash. I'll just ditch iPhoto altogether if I can't fix this.
    My questions: a) How can I get iPhoto to actually delete a photo when I tell it to (including thumbnails)? b) How can I clean up my hard drive automatically so that the only photos within the iPhoto Library folder (in the Finder) are those which still reside within iPhoto? c) How do I prevent this mess from happening again? d) If anyone from Apple is monitoring this forum, when will this major flaw in the user experience be fixed?

    1 - it is a really good idea to post in the appropriate forum - you apparently posted an iPhoto 6 question in the iPhoto '09 forum - in this case the answer is the same for the questions you ask
    a) How can I get iPhoto to actually delete a photo when I tell it to (including thumbnails)?
    Select the photo(s) in roll view and drag to the iPhoto trash or press the delete key - empty the iPhoto trash from the iPhoto menu ==> empty trash - do this in batches of 100 or less photos
    b) How can I clean up my hard drive automatically so that the only photos within the iPhoto Library folder (in the Finder) are those which still reside within iPhoto?
    I'm not sure what happened and no longer have iPhoto 6 to test - one thing to try is backing up your library and rebuilding the library (depress the option and command keys and launch iPhoto)
    c) How do I prevent this mess from happening again?
    Delete as above in answer to a)
    d) If anyone from Apple is monitoring this forum, when will this major flaw in the user experience be fixed?
    SInce this is strictly a user to user forum and Apple specifically does not monitor nor answer here do not expect an answer from Apple
    Also NEVER use the finder to make any changes to the contents or structure of the iPhoto library - doing so may corrupt your library and cause data loss

  • How do I clean-up iPhoto library in iMovie '08 and make my new ones appear?

    I'm a graphic designer and I use Adobe Bridge to add metadata (keywords) to my pictures so they're searchable on the Internet - not just iPhoto (and iLife?) and after transferring all the image files from iPhoto onto my Time Capsule (external hard-drive) and deleting the Photo Albums from iPhoto, I created a new Album to import still frames/images to use in my new iMovie project. I cleaned out (emptied) my iPhoto trash to help free-up space on my hard-drive, too.
    The problem I'm having is that my iPhoto library as viewed from iMovie - still shows all the old photo albums that I've already deleted and the new .PNG I imported doesn't appear; however, the old .JPG files I once had still appear with exclamation marks as the thumbnail images and I can't select or delete them. When I right-click on the iPhoto photo albums library within iMovie, I only get the option to open in iPhoto. I imagine there is some back door manipulation required to fix this. The iMovie and iPhoto software came pre-installed in my computer and I'm not so sure that re-formatting my computer with the start-up disc is the safe or correct answer.
    I've been researching the iMovie forum to see if there is a file I should be able to access to fix a Cache file somewhere; however, I couldn't find any .xml files, cache files, or anything anywhere yet. Thanks in advance to anyone willing and able to share some knowledge. I look forward to resolving this troubling experience. My final goal is to use the .PNG file (which contains transparent data, unlike .JPG files which fill transparent data with white pixels) as a frame image if not as a floating graphic (i.e. picture-in-picture).

    Sean in the iMovie technical support area (thanks to my lovely Apple Care plan purchase) answered my question about how to delete the iPhoto library, which I no longer use (because I use Adobe Bridge and Photoshop CS3 to browse my photos and update their Metadata to make the images searchable not only on my computer, but others who don't have iPhoto, or iLife as well; even PC users and Internet search engines - when the images are uploaded as-is - without compression and changes that occur when uploaded to image hosts such as Photobucket.com, etc.):
    Go to: *Finder >* (click on) *Pictures >* (and on the right, see iPhoto Library, Aperture, etc.? Select those files and...) *Move to Trash*
    Now when you look at the Photos Browser in iMovie (⌘2) the folder, files, blank thumbnails and junk are (thankfully) gone!
    As for using images located elsewhere for use in iMovie - I just have to locate them via the Finder, then select the file, then drag-and-drop the image for immediate placement into the part of My Project where I want to use the image and repeat this method for each incidence I want the graphic to appear.
    Unfortunately, I must upgrade to iMovie '09 if I want to be able to take advantage of the Picture-in-Picture feature, which would enable me to place a logo or image graphic in a video project while other parts of the production are playing, but I can still use the title feature to embed text information such as a business name and phone number or (website) URL pertaining to the project as a surrogate stamp, watermark, or creative signature, but no other graphic image files may be used here.

  • My Macbook Pro 5.5 was slow.  I backed up word and  my photos and wiped it clean.  I reinstalled  Snow leopard but my IPHOTO ILIFE is missing.  I transferred word documents over and photo library but can't find IPHOTO anywhere.  How do i get it back?

    Hi All,
    I have a Macbook Pro, 5,5.  It's a few years old and was running slow.  My son backed up my Microsoft Office documents and my photos onto a thumb drive and ran 'wiped my computer clean'...using a disc that came with my computer.  (I am NOT computer savy at all).
    I was able to reinstall the Mac OS X install DVD that came with my Mac, but IPHOTO, ILIFE did not reinstall.  I transferred the word documents successfully, and my photos transferred to an icon on a 'library' on the desktop, but I can't use.  How do i get IPHOTO back?
    Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you so much for responding.  I will look for the other disks.
    One more question - I initially decided to do this because my Mac kept opening with the date changed to 2008, and I keep having to re - enter my Web key.  In addition, it was running much slower.  Since I 'cleaned' everything out, I thought all would work perfect.  This morning, the date changed to 2008; again AND it again asks for my Web key.  Does this mean my Mac has reached it's almost end or could I have a 'bug' on it?
    Again, thanks so much for your suggestions.

  • How to get iPhoto and iTunes to a clean installed Yosemite from Time Machine

    I wiped the Hard Drive and clean installed to OS X Yosemite. For Some reason, some of my Time Machine back ups disappeared or got deleted and it wasn't even full. I had back ups from 2011 and now it only starts from 2013 of June.
    Next....when I try to restore my other apps(like iPhoto and my iTunes) I doesn't give that warp space effect in the background. It gives me the window layer effect but I just see the same mountain background on the desktop as the default Yosemite(unless thats how its suppose to look like that?) I can't restore using Time Machine because the little lines at the right are red (see screen shot) and it won't let me restore, and if i go back by using the arrows, if freezes. So,
    I don't know how to install the old iTunes and iPhoto on my existing clean installed Yosemite from my Time Machine.
    Can someone help me?

    @ LarryHN Thank you ver much for you help I understand now that you just can't copy over the old library(got it)
    I had the latest version of iPhoto before I cleaned installed.
    The link you gave me was most informative and I want to thank you. But still problems arrive.
    This came up and I don't know which one to pick

    Thanks,

    I am new to Yosemite and to date have not used Time Machine.  I did find another detailed web site that hopefully will answer your questions - Apple  OSX  and  Time  Machine  Tips.  There is a link on that site titled How Time Machine Works its Magic which is very detailed.  The author of the website was a respected member of this community.  He passed away I believe last year.

  • IPhoto won't open after clean install followed by Time Machine restoration of data.

    Since the install iPhoto will no longer open. The icon in the dock bounces for a short while and then I receive the following error: iPhoto cannot be opened because of a problem. It then shows problem details and system configuration, the top part of which I post below:

    Dyld Error Message:
      Symbol not found: _OBJC_CLASS_$_RKMigratedLibrary
      Referenced from: /Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/MacOS/iPhoto

    I then get a long list of binary image data which I haven't posted here (but can if required).
    I believe the version of iPhoto I have is 9.6 as that update was installed a short while before I did the clean install of the OS.
    I would try reinstalling the iPhoto again but cannot see a way to uninstall or to download again from the app store.
    Has anybody seen this behaviour before and/or know of a fix or workaround so I can get my iPhoto program working again please?
    Many thanks for your time.

    Looking at that report I would reinstall iPhoto as a first step:
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
    *Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
