Iphoto et time capsule

Bonjour,
J'ai racheté un macbook pro suite à un vol.
J'ai restauré mes données à partir de ma sauvegarde timecapsule mais certaines photos dans certains dossiers ne s'affichent pas.
Ces photos apparaissent, c'est à dire que le dossier existe ainsi que les icônes des photos avec leur nom mais sans la photo en elle-même.
Lorsque je clique sur les photos, la fenetre s'ouvre sur un fond noir avec un gros point d'exclamation.
Y a-t-il un moyen de récupérer ces photos ?
D'avance merci,
Raphaël

Apply the fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
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, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - 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.
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.

  • Iphoto and time capsule

    My family and I want to access and edit all of our photos that are currently stored on time capsule. She has a laptop, I have a laptop, our family has an imac and iphones. We want to have the changes that we make to the pictures (red-eye correction, contrast, brightness, etc) to be reflected on the time capsule file so that when another one of us goes to print or make a slideshow those changes will take place on another computer because it is all stored on the time capsule. Also, we don't need to store all this info on our computers. Is there anyway to do this with iphoto and time capsule? Apple is usually pretty good about integrating things, but I can't figure out how to do it.
    Is there a plug-in that will allow me to do this? Can someone make one?
    Google Picasa allows us to do this, which is phenomenal. We are eagerly waiting for Google Picasa for Mac to come out for this feature alone. Thank you for any comments

    You could look into multi user image management applications likeMedia Expression. It would let you put the source files on the server and each user have their own catalog of thumbnails linked to the source files. EM lets you rename files, add metadata to the files, etc. But if you're going to stick with iPhoto and want to have everyone have full editing rights in the library you'll have to put the library on an external HD formatted for OS X Extended (Journaled).
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • I want to move my photos from iPhoto to Time Capsule to make space on my computer.  What's the best means of doing this?

    I want to move my photos from iPhoto to Time Capsule to make space on my computer.  What's the best means of doing this?

    Please do not do this.
    The Time Capsule was designed for your backups.....not as an everyday hard drive. Access to the Time Capsule is slow.
    If there is any loss of connection between iPhoto and the iPhoto library when you are reading or writing, the entire iPhoto library is easily corrupted.
    The chances of corruption are even more likely if you are using wireless on the computer.
    And....even if you decide to risk this....if you move your "original" iPhoto library to the Time Capsule.....how will you make backups of the library?
    The only copy of the library will be on the Time Capsule....you have no backups.....when, not if, the Time Capsule has a problem.
    Simply stated, I would never do this with any important data that you cannot afford to lose. Please post in the iPhoto support area if you need to confirm this.

    If you do want an idea of how to move your iPhoto library correctly, post back and we can help.

  • IPhoto on Time Capsule won't open

    When I am connected to my network at home (Time Capsule) and try to open iPhoto it freezes, I get the spinning wheel of death and have to force quit.
    It does not happen when connected to other networks. Anyone else having this issue. I have been to Apple Bar twice and they are perplexed.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you trying to open the library that has been backed up by Time Machine or a library that you placed on the Time Capsule manually outside of the backup folders? If it's the former then I'm not surprised as that version would be composed of many hard links to other files on the TC from earlier backups and is not designed to be run like a normal library.
    Have you ever been able to open that library? The reports in the forum about running iPhoto off of a TC or drive attached to an Airport Express wireless router have all been that they were not able to do so. iPhoto just doesn't do well wirelessly and can lead to damaging the library if the connection is dropped while writing to the library's database file.
    I've run a library off of a FW hard drive connected to another Mac and commected to my MBP wirelessly via an AirPort Express and it ran OK. But I only viewed some photos and didn't do any heavy duty editing, etc.

  • Problems with iTunes syncing iPhotos on Time Capsule after Mavericks update?

    Hello all,
    I currently have all my Music/Movies/TV Shows/Photos stored on my Time Capsule and have been using iTunes and iPhoto to retreive files from it with no problems until I recently upgraded to Mavericks.
    Couple of days ago, I updated to Mavericks, downloaded the latest version of iPhoto and iTunes. Yet once I've done so I could no longer sync photos to my iPhone, iPad or even see my photos on my Apple TV. I could however see the Music other Media. It took iTunes abnormally longer time to retrieve the data from the network and once it did and tried to sync them with the phone it just hung and crashed.
    I tried doing the following:
    Deleting the iPod, Apple TV cache from the iPhoto library.
    Fixed iPhoto Permissions and rebuilt the whole of the iPhoto library.
    Deleted my iTunes library and rebuilt it from scratch.
    All that did not work. The only thing that did however, was taking the photos from the Time Capsule and back to my computer. That seemed to fix things and I was able to make everything work again.
    What I am asking is: Is anyone else having the same problem? Is this an OS bug that will be addressed? or is there anyway I could fix this on my own? I only own a Macbook Air and the 15GB of photos I have already take a huge chunk out of the 59GB I have available on my laptop. Thanks.

    I have a new Time Capsule (the tall version), but no Mavericks yet (I have OSX 10.8.5) and latest iTunes and Time Capsule sw. I have pictures and iTunes library on the Time Capsule.
    iTunes messes a lot with synching pictures and music.
    I have tried to delete the picture cache on the Capsule, but that only helped once. Next time it looked over the pictures for a long time, but synched none. With music I get an error message that it's wrong format (it isn't, the file is fine, I can see it) - and since next time that song will/might come in, but some next song won't. Then it could gray out some music on iPad (running iOS 6.1.3), some times it actually plays grayed out music, some times it doesn't.
    But on my Mac Mini (which runs iTunes, all year long), all is fine, so the music exists fine! Synching looks very broken to me! This happened when my wide Time Capule's disk broke and I had to recover the iTunes library from a backup.
    I'd rather not move all of this onto the MacBook, as I want anyone to be able to synch and play music wouthot having to relate to some laptop.

  • Import files to iphoto from time capsule

    I have a brand new time capsule and I want to be sure I have all of my bases covered before I start to set it up.  At this point I plan to use it as a shared external hard drive between two macs, wirelessly.  I'm not going to use it as a router or backups.  I have a separate external HD connected to one of the macs for regular backups.  I promise I've tried to find the answer to this question but I can't nail it down exactly! 
    My questions are this...  I like to import my photos direct from my camera using canon software because I like the file naming system.  Then I import those files into iphoto, which of course takes up a lot of space since they are essentially on there twice.  I understand from my reading that trying to have the iphoto library on the time capsule wirelessly is a bad plan, but can I put the original files on there and import them to each mac's iphoto library without a high risk of corruption?  Then do all of my editing and album sorting on each mac directly? I can move the time capsule to be wired to one mac or the other for the initial import but I'd like to import each new batch of photos (roughly 300 at a time) wirelessly from here on out. Is there a better way to do this, to sync my iphoto libraries to match?  I'm dealing with 30,000+ photos right now split into two libraries.  I plan to migrate to 10.7 anytime now and possibly move to Aperture.  But I'm not sure whats the best order of operations here for smoothness... 
    TIA!  This place always solves my problems
    oh fyi it's a macbook pro and older-ish imac, both running 10.6.8 and iphoto '09, brand new Time Capsule, brand new Lacie Quadra, 2TB each

    Depends. If you are using the TC as a hard drive then pretty much ok. If you are using it as the TM backup disk then no. You can not have any dynamic files like the iPhoto library on the same volume
    It is not recommended that you do any heavy work with your photos over a wireless connection. Importing them from a source wirelessly should be ok

  • Is it possible to look a photos from iMac/iPhoto (or Time Capsule)) with iPad?

    Hi,
    I have all my photos in iMac/iPhoto. I have also a back up available in Time Capsule.
    Apple TV device is also available and connected to videoprojector.
    I want to look my photos with a iPad? How to to that?
    And is it possible to get those viewed from a Time Capsule -> Apple TV -> videoprojector?
    Thanks 

    Using that system, no it's not possible to edit a pic from the shared library and have the edit reflected on the min library. That sharing is intended for viewing only, and the shared library cannot be altered in any way by the client.
    If you want the other machine to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc. then:
    Quit iPhoto on both machines
    Move the iPhoto Library Folder to an external HD set to ignore permissions. You could also use a dmg.
    (Some people have had success putting the library in the Users/ Shared folder. If you do this make sure the file permissions are set to allow read/write access to everyone.)
    On each machine in turn: Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting dialogue, select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new library location. From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both machines will have full access to the library, in fact, both machines will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

  • Using iPhoto with time capsule

    Can I use time capsule as a Network Hard Drive to place my all of my Photos, and keep the iPhoto config, events, places, faces???

    The best way is on an external hard drive, formatted  Mac OS Extended (Journaled), with a wired connection.
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • What is the easiest way to transfer iPhoto to Time capsule?

    I currently have my iPhoto content stored locally on my MacBook and I would like to transfer everything to my Time Capsule.
    Since there are over 30G of photos, every time I attempt to start the transfer, the time to complete is well over 1 day.  Any time the screen saver kicks in, the transfer stops.
    Is there an easier way to do this?

    If you decide to do this after reading below and double checking in the iPhoto support area.....
    Turn off the screen saver on your Mac for the transfer.
    30 GB should copy over in approximately an hour and a half if you are using a wired Ethernet connection.
    But....before you do this....I suggest that you check with the experts in the iPhoto  support area for reasons on why you would NOT want to do this
    The primary reasons are:
    1) If you move the iPhoto library to the Time Capsule, it will be on a network drive, and you are probably using wireless. Any interruption during the time that iPhoto is reading or writing to the libary can corrupt the entire library and render it unusable. If you decide to do this anyway, the Mac should be connected by Ethernet to the Time Capsule whenever you will be using iPhoto to minimize the chances of a writing error.
    2) You have your "original" library on the Mac now, and likely your backup of the library on the Time Capsule.  If you are using Time Machine now for backups, and you move the "original" library to the Time Capsule drive......you have no backup for the iPhoto library when....not if....the Time Capsule has a problem.
    The solution is to add a USB or FireWire drive to your Mac and move the iPhoto library to that drive. This is a "safe" way to use iPhoto, which you can verify by checking with the iPhoto experts. 
    Time Machine will now backup both your Mac and the hard drive. So....you have "originals" on one drive and backups on another separate drive.  When one drive fails, you at least have a backup copy on the other drive.

  • IPhoto w/ Time Capsule?

    Good Morning,
    I'm contemplating a Time Capsule and would like some input about backing up iPhoto libraries. I understand the first backup to a TC should be hardwired, but does anybody have experience with subsequent incremental backups of the iPhoto libraries? I confess ignorance as to how the iPhoto library works -- can TC just backup the incremental daily additions of 10 to 100 photos or does the addition of such new photos require a complete backup of the entire library to work properly? (I suspect the library's integrated features require complete backup.) Since my wife has something over 10,000 images in her library this is a real issue for us...
    Thanks in advance.

    No, it's perfectly possible to do an incremental back up of the iPhoto Library. The Library isn't a file, it's Unix Style Package folder. Thats a folder that presents in the Finder as a single entity, but it's not.
    Apps such as DejaVu and Chronosync will happily do incremental back ups, and do for me. There are many others.
    Regards

  • Help! How can I restore iTunes/iPhoto library from Time Capsule to new Mac?

    Sorry to trouble you, because it looks like this should be an easy thing, but I can't find an answer anywhere...
    I've got an 2008 MacBook Pro that suddenly began to suffer start up problems. Sometimes it boots to a black/grey screen and sometimes the screen/mouse freezes after only a few minutes of use.
    I've borrowed my brother's Mac until I can find out how to get mine repaired, so I'd like to copy over my iTunes and iPhoto stuff from a Time Capsule (where I'm hoping it hasn't been damaged) to his Mac. I only want to copy the iTunes and iPhoto stuff, without filling up his computer with all my other junk.
    Is there an easy way to do this? Thanks!

    Hi ...
    I've found a solution to my problem.
    Time Machine locates extenal HDD backups differently depending if they were done via a network or via a USB/FireWire/Thunderbolt connection.
    My initial backup was done via a direct Thunderbolt connection. I ran into the above issue b/c the second time when I tried looking for the backup file the HDD was conencted to my iMac and I was accessing it via a network conenction.
    I simply connected the drive directly to my MacBook pro and ... voila. I was able to see the backup, select the iPhoto library and begin the restore.
    Hope this helps.
    BTW - I found this out by reading the 'blue box' selection on this page: http://pondini.org/TM/E2.html
    (Thanks goes to Pondini!)

  • How do I restore an iPhoto library from Time Capsule

    My iMac was stolen. I have a MacBook Air running Yosemite version 10.10.2. The iPhoto Library was not on the MacBook. How do I restore my iPhoto Library from a Time Machine backup on my Time Capsule onto my MacBook? I am using iPhoto version 9.6.1.
    Two complications:
    1. I have several hundred photos from a different iPhoto library on my MacBook.
    2. I think the iPhoto library that is hopefully on my Time Capsule is too big to fit on my MacBook. I have 50 GB free space remaining on a 256 GB SSD.
    Thank you.

    If the library to be restored is too big for your boot drive you'll need to get an external HD, formatted OS X Extended (journaled) with ownership set to be ignored, and restore the iPhoto Library to it according to the instructions in the following screenshot:
    With the restored library up and running you can use the paid version of  iPhoto Library Manager to merge the Macbook library into the restored library on the EHD.  A possible candidate for the EHD is the  OWC Mercury On-The-Go Pro USB 3.0 / FireWire 800.  It lends itself nicely for portable use.
    Once you are satisfied that the merge was successful you can delete the Macbook library from the Pictures folder.

  • How do I use an iPhoto library stored on an external HDD (time capsule) on the new photos app?

    I have recently upgraded to a MacBook Air with the latest 10.10.3 updates as such it has photos installed, not iPhoto. The MacBook I'm upgrading from still had 10.9 and as such had iPhoto app.
    The MacBook air has a smaller SSD (128GB) than the HDD from my 2008 MacBook, and isn't big enough to store my iPhoto library (over 150GB). I want to just keep my library on the external HDD (which is an Apple Time Capsule).
    When I follow the steps on Designate a System Photo Library in Photos - Apple Support it seems to want to import all the photos, it took hours to get to just 3% of importing so I left over night. In the morning it said my MacBooks storage isn't big enough, which of course it isn't - I didn't want to import the library on my new MacBook Air !
    I just want to change the location that photos looks for the library every time it opens, I don't actually want it to import the whole library which it appears to have tried to do. thanks!

    Thanks for getting back to me!
    It is connected over wireless. I don't have an RJ45 connection on the MacBook Air (although will purchase an adapter if needed). Even if I do have an RJ45 connection does this mean I can only ever use wired to view my external photo library?
    I suppose having the wired connection will give me the time to organise my photos and delete some of the rubbish (which I would have liked to do on my old MacBook first but it was running too slow, especially with such a big photo library - so I treated myself to a new MacBook Air so I did!).
    And I guess I could then put my favourite photos on the MacBook Air and have a separate library of older/lesser used photos on the Time Capsule and just access those as and when over RJ45 network cable. I prefer to use wireless as much as possible as the Time Capsule is normally stored in a room I don't use the MacBook or other wireless devices !

  • How do i back up my iphoto library to time capsule?

    I was told I can back up my iphoto's library to my time capsule but I'm not sure how to do this.  Any help is appreciated.

    If you've set up Time Machine to back up your computer to it and haven't moved the library off the internal drive, it's already been done.
    If you've set up Time Machine to back up your computer to it and have moved the library off the internal drive, ensure the drive holding it isn't excluded in the Time Machine pane of System Preferences.
    If you haven't set up Time Machine, either turn it on or drag the iPhoto library from the Pictures item of your home folder to the Time Capsule manually.

  • Can I store an iPhoto library on Time Capsule?

    I would like to store my iPhoto library externally. Can I store it on my Time Capsule or do I need an additional, external hard drive?

    I would like to store my iPhoto library externally. Can I store it on my Time Capsule
    Please do NOT do this.
    Access to the library will be very slow, even more so if you are using wireless. More importantly, there is a real danger that any break in communication between iPhoto and the iPhoto library will create a corruption issue that will likely affect the entire library, rendering it useless. Confirm with the experts in the iPhoto support area about this to verify.
    iPhoto
    In addition, if you move the iPhoto library to the Time Capsule......have you thought about how you will back up the iPhoto library that is on the Time Capsule? Obviously, you will still need another hard drive to backup the "original" iPhoto library on the Time Capsule.
    A much better plan would be to connect a USB or FireWire drive directly to your Mac.....and move the iPhoto library to that hard drive. Access to the library will be fast....just as if the library was on your Mac's hard drive.
    Then.....Time Machine can be set up to back up both your Mac and the hard drive to the Time Capsule.  That would be a minimum backup plan. Many of us who value our images make additional copies of the library on yet another hard drive on a regular basis.
