IPhoto Diet and iPhoto 6.0.2

Has anyone had any experience (good or bad) using iPhoto Diet (or any similar program) to delete the original photo files in the latest iPhoto (6.0.2)? I would like to get rid of all the originals of photos that I have modified, but am afraid of problems. Thanks!

The last I checked iPHoto Diet hadn't been updated to version 6. I would not use it until it is officially updated as per the developers site. With the entirely different folder systems it could cause serious damage if used. The developer is working on a universal binary version to take in both the PPC and Intel macs so it may be a while.

  • Iphoto 08 and iphoto 09  sharing a single album on a external drive

    Hello all,
    I have a mac mini with iphoto 08 on it as well as a Drobo external storage device that houses all my photos video and movies - I just purchased a new 24" imac that came with iphoto 09 -
    Can I share the iphoto album that resides on the drobo with the mac mini as well as the new imac -
    I am asked to upgrade the album when ever I open the iphoto application - if I do this then the Mac mini can not open the iphoto application - I am guessing that this is due to different versions - imovie works perfectly -
    thanks !

    Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
    No - as you have observed iPhoto '08 and iPhoto '09 use a different library structure and neither can read the others library - iPhoto '09 can convert '08 libraries to '09 but it is (as you are warned when you do it) a one way process - if you want to share a library all versions of iPhoto must be the same so you would need to purchase iLife '09 for the mini

  • What are the differences between iphoto ios5 and iphoto ios6?

    what are the differences between iphoto ios5 and iphoto ios6?

    There is no difference unless you update iPhoto.
    The iPhoto.app was updated and now version 1.1 is available. This version includes the ability to create Shared Photo Streams if you have iOS 6.

  • IPhoto Diet Destroys iPhoto

    A lot of posters have advised using iPhoto Diet to slim down iPhoto libaries.
    I did this, and it took out 3gb out of our 15gb iphoto library. Great. Then we opened iPhoto, and every rotated photo had a thumbnail, but when zoomed in or in edit mode, we get the gray square with exclamation point.
    I searched the Pictures folder. The Rotated files are still there. I guess iphoto diet killed the link between the thumbanails and the full rotated versions.
    I rebuilt the iphoto library as Help advises, this did not change anything. I have run disk permission repair with disk utility, as well as fsck -y -f in Single User Mode.
    The problem here is that there are over 5000 missing rotated photos out of 15,000, so manually finding each photo and reimporting them would take a very, very long time.
    What should we do? reinstall iphoto? How can we fix all these broken links?
    I think its safe to say that iphoto diet is piece of garbage, and since its free, you get what you pay for.

    I take it you didn't make a backup copy of the library before running Diet. Do so now. Try selecting one of the "bad" apples as a test file (yes, pun intended) and do a revert to original. See if that will bring back the original and then it will create a new rotated file if that file is from a camera with the auto-rotate function. If that works you're home free.
    If not you can try to rebuild the library as follows: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all the options. I have little hope that this will work but worth a try.
    Your last option is as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the rolls from the original.
    Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    Drag the Originals folder from the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
    This will create a new library with the same rolls as the original library. However dates on the rolls may be different but can be edited as you would the roll title.
    In the future I recommend you make a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto file after each import and after doing a lot of editing and organizing in the library. Then if you experience a similar crash all you need to do is replace the damaged database file with the backup copy and you'll be back to the same place in the library as when you make the backup.
    Once this is completed you can delete the Originals folder from the desktop and the iPhoto Llibrary folder. If desired, you can keep the older library folder to try other fixes on it.
    If you need to cull duplicates in the future I'd try using Duplicate Annihilator after making a temp backup copy of the library folder beforehand.
    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.

  • Lost link between iPhoto library and iPhoto.app

    While learning how to use Photoshop Elements 4.0 and Bridge, I made the choice to "browse" in Bridge. When I next started iPhoto 6.06, my link to the Library was lost. I have worked with AppleCare support, done every exercise short of creating a new library and losing my organization. With 20,000 + photos I would like to avoid that exercise. I do have backups but am trying to figure out if I can solve this any other way. All my files are still in iPhoto Library, and I can see the organization of my albums in Bridge. With some exercises, I get the message: "Unreadable files: 1. The following file could not be imported: '/Users/john/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Library.iPhoto.'"
    If I delete Adobe Photoshop Elements and Bridge from the hard drive, will this help? I promise I did not do anything within iPhoto Library in Finder!
    Thanks so much!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    There's absolutely no harm in using PSE with iPhoto, it's Bridge that's a killer. So that's what you chuck from your machine. Set up PSE as an external editor in the iPhoto Preferences. That way you can double click a pic in iPhoto and it will open automatically in PSE, save it PSE and have it come back into iPhoto seamlessly.
    What's likely happened here is that you have (or Bridge has) made changes in the iPhoto Library Folder which has broken the link between iPhoto and the library files.
    Some things to try:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. Choose Locate, and point iPhoto at the iPhoto Library Folder.
    What Back Ups do you have? If there's an up-to-date one, then try copying the library6.iphoto file from it to the iPhoto Library Folder allowing it to overwrite the confused one.
    That said, if these don't work, your options will only be to create and populate a new library: To create and populate a new library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same film rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, books, calendars etc.
    Move the iPhoto Library Folder to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual rolls to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
    Finally, the message
    "Unreadable files: 1. The following file could not be imported: '/Users/john/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Library.iPhoto.'"
    is because iPhoto will not import a picture that's in the active iPhoto Library Folder - a sensible precaution against duplication.

  • IPhone photos not seen in iPhoto - iPhone and iPhoto out of sync

    Normally when I connect my iPhone 3Gs to my iMac, iPhoto '08 opens and my iPhone is recognized and all photos on the phone are shown in iPhoto, ready for import. However, my iPhone and iPhoto now seem out of sync. Without my iPhone connected, I opened iPhoto and it shows my iPhone in the device list; instead of showing photo thumbnails on my iPhone, iPhoto displays empty boxes where the photos would ordinarily be. When I connect the iPhone, iPhoto continues to show the empty boxes, rather than the photos on my phone. When I try to import one of the "invisible" photos, I get an iPhoto error message: "The following file could not be imported. (The import failed.)" How can I correct this behavior so that I can import iPhone photos again?

    Try trash the following file
    com.apple.ImageCaptureNotifications.DeviceDiscoveryDatabase.501
    from HD/Library/ Caches
    and restart your mac.

  • Using both iPhoto 6 and iPhoto '08 - 3rd party software?

    Hey guys,
    I recently purchased and installed iLife '08. After doing this I tried to run Still Life 2.3.4 This is a program that allows you to zoom and pan across photos for iMovie exactly the way you want. When I tired to run this program and open an old project I was working on, it said that it couldn't find the "rolls" in the iPhoto library where I had my photos stored. The next thing that I tried was to re-import all the photos from iPhoto '08. But Still Life does not even recognize the new library that iLife uses. My question is, is there a way to keep using iPhoto '06 while still keeping the other aspects of iLife '08. Or is there a way that you can have both iPhoto '06 and '08 at the same time? Please just give any advice. Thanks!

    Sorry, I am having trouble posting. Please disregard.

  • Can I install iPhoto 9 AND iPhoto 11 with seperate libraries?

    Hi....
    In view of the negative comments that some have made about iPhoto11 and before I actually install it... is it possible, or any reason why not to install BOTH iPhoto 9 and iPhoto11 on my iMac? I appreciate that they would have to have separate and individual libraries and that is fine with me ...
    As iPhoto is just another app, then I am guessing that there should be no reason why I cannot have two versions of it running....
    Any comments would be most appreciated.
    Regards
    Derek

    No there's no reason. Put 09 into a Folder so the installer won't find it and overwrite it. hen make sure you keep the two libraries separate.
    But you know, most folks have upgraded with no issues. As always, make sure you have a back up.

  • Can iphoto 9 and iphoto 11 work on same computer

    I have a very large 222,000 file in iphoto 9 and when I upgraded my machine to iphoto 11 it crashed when I tried to move it into iphoto 11.  I have a backup but need to know what is the best way to handle the situation?

    Yes both iPhoto '09 and '11 can be used on the same machine - but it is difficult and not recommended
    If you have used your library with iPhoto '11 then it probably will not be usable by iPhoto '09 - your best bet is to resolve your iPhoto '11 issues
    I would run software update to make sure iPhoto it totally up to date (9.1.3 is the latest), load your backup for the iPhoto library and launch iPhoto and let it run to complete the library conversion which may take a while of that large a library (one of the largest I've seen here) - note that you are approaching the reported 250,000 max for an iPhoto library

  • Support lost for H264 videos between iPhoto 8 and iPhoto 11

    Finally tracked down a nagging problem which seems only to be solved by forking over $$ for a video codec from third party to enable playing videos from a Bushnell Trophy Cam SD card.  iPhoto '08 had no trouble playing the videos using Quicktime 7.  iPhoto '11 now fails to recognize the same videos which are titled e.g. PICT0001.AVI.  They are supposedly in H264 format.  I have two MacBookPro laptops - both using Lion - one with iPhoto '08 and one with '11.  No other real differences.
    The free codecs don't quite include all the video info; I can find non-free codecs which will open the AVI's with no lost information but I would rather not buy them to replace a function that was previously free.
    Any suggestions?

  • Can I run iPhoto 09 and iPhoto 11 on the same machine?

    A few months ago I bought a MacBook Air, which came pre-installed with iPhoto 11. On a recent trip I tried using it to edit a lot of photos I took. This program is appalling! So many clicks to carry out edits (3:1) compared with iPhoto 09! Cropping is a nightmare on a trackpad; it's almost impossible to nail down the crop to the right size and position. The comments area is ruined; I annotate all my photos and this used to be really easy, with the comments area right next to the photo in the bottom left of the screen. Now I have to go through mouse clicks to access the comments and only two visible lines are available and then scroll bars kick in. To view the comments I now have to fiddle around trying to hover over the comments box, instead of just glancing at the corner of the screen.
    Who designed this beast? Who could possibly think its editing ergonomics are an improvement over iPhoto 09? As a result, I want to install iPhoto 09 on my MacBook Air, which I'll do using by using the wireless disk function from my Mac Pro. The question is, do I have to de-install iPhoto 11 first, or can the programs sit side-by-side? I shall put the iPhoto 09 icon in my dock so I launch the right version.
    I know this post contains a complaint, which is because I want to know if other users share my frustration. However, I have also sent a lengthy feedback to Apple in the hope they may simplify the editing in iPhoto 12.

    Hi Jayson,
    I never tried to install SAP on XP myself... only heard that someone had issues with it, and it is not officially listed in PAM.
    For separated ABAP and JAVA systems, you can install them in any order.
    For ABAP+JAVA, you have to install ABAP first, or both at the same time.
    All installation guides are available at https://service.sap.com/instguides

  • Can I delete iPhoto library and iPhoto in 10.10.3?

    After upgrading to OS X Yosemite 10.10.3, I can use Photos.app instead of iPhoto.app.
    The thing is, there are two photo libraries in my finder. So can I delete iPhoto.photolibrary without affecting my photos in Photos.photoslibrary?( I chose iPhoto library when setting up Photos.app)
    Now given Photos.app, am I to understand that I can completely ignore iPhoto from now on and delete iPhoto.app from my mac?
    Thanks for all the help! Really appreciate!

    I have done just that, not sure in your case regarding the library's - I let Photos create its own library and not importing from iPhoto's, but I think which ever option you use when first starting Photos it will only use the Photos library after the initial import. Try moving iPhoto library to trash without emptying and open Photos, if all ok you can then delete.
    I removed the iPhoto app as well gaining over 1.5 GB of space, also tracked down the other minor files in ~/Library/Caches and Preferences (plus a few other places) - but these are very small files and if you prefer can be left alone.
    Lastly, if you delete iPhoto app you may get a prompt from App Store regarding reinstalling, read somewhere to stop that you need to remove any pkg files in Macintosh HD/Library/Receipts - if you do this last part make sure you only remove pkg files that contain "iphoto" in the description!

  • Theme; music and preferences aren't working in iPhoto '11 and iPhoto is very slow since I upgraded to Lion.

    Is anyone else experiencing the same problem or knows a solution?

    I don't have any such issues.
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
    If it is, Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

  • For information - sharing between iPhoto 6 and IPhoto 08

    Just tried (I've held off installing iLife 08 on the Macbook as I'm not convinced about the stability of all components yet!) this.
    iPhoto6 see the files shared from iPhoto 08 - as Events are not supported in 6 you just get the thumbnails for the whole library, no albums. That may have been how it was for 6-6 sharing but I haven't tried for ages so can't remember.
    Haven't tried sharing 6>08 yet.

    Thanks for this. I'n not surprised about Events, you couldn't share Rolls in v6 either, only albums. However, I'm surprised about albums not being available.
