IPhoto Library Manager MERGE = Untitled Events - ??

I must be missing something.  (argh)
When I attempt to MERGE two libraries in iPhoto Library Manager - it brings everything in as "Untitled" - all the Photos seem to be separating out into their specific Events, but the Events are Untitled.
Is this something that will correct itself later on in the Merge when other data is brought over or is there something I need to do differently to retain the Event Titles?  (doh!)
Thank you in advance!

Best to contact the makers of Library Manager for that one.

  • IPhoto Library Manager--File Size difference of merged library

    I just use iPhoto Library Manager to merge 2 libraries and it worked great. There is a huge difference in the size of the libraries. The original library is 17.48 GB. The merged library which had an additional 4.03 GB of pictures/events added to it is only 11.28 GB. I would have expected 17.48 GB + 4.03 GB to add up to 21.51 GB. Can anyone explain? What has been lost?
    Additional info: I get the same 244 events and 4426 pictures whether I open the iPhoto Library or the "Merged Library" through the finder window.
    I have iPhoto 7.1.3 and iPLM 3.4.2 installed.

    Do you sync your photos with an iPod using iTunes? If so this creates a cache file that can be very large indeed. It would not be carried over in the Merge.

  • Moving a merged library created with iPhoto Library Manager

    I merged two iPhoto libraries with iPhoto Library Manager 3.5.5 on an external hard disk using an iMac. I have tried to move the new merged library to the internal disk on my laptop, as I wish to travel taking all my photos (about 28,500). However, every time I try to move or copy the merged library it stops after copying about 123 MB (of about 62GB) and I get the following message:
    "You can’t copy “Merged Library” because it has the same name as another item on the destination volume, and that volume doesn’t distinguish between upper- and lowercase letters in filenames."
    The "same name" reference is to the file it makes every time before copying, which I erase before trying again. What am I doing wrong? How can I transfer this new merged library to my laptop?
    Thank you.

    Ok, so how do I correct for this. I ran Time Machine to back up my computer, sent it in to be repaired, and now I want to Restore my stuff. I get that error, but the only thing I've done to the drive is reformatted using Snow Leopard, and didn't see such choices go by. I just want my stuff restored. Can someone explain the difference between "case-sensitive/journaled" and "journaled", and how to change back. Where are these choices?

  • Errors when merging libraries w/ iPhoto Library Manager

    Using the most recent version of iPhoto Library Manager, I just merged two iPhoto 11 libraries. When it was done, I received this message:
        460 errors occurred during the process. Click the "View Log" button for more details.
        13-03-16 14:43:55.603 Search for the word "error" to find any errors that occurred during the operation
    When I did, I found variations of these two messages:
        13-03-16 14:42:57.540 *** Error: iPhoto failed to successfully import the photo at /Users/Jim/Pictures/iPhoto Libraries/iPhoto Library/Masters/2008/Parrot Tulip/P1060390.JPG
        13-03-16 14:43:00.822 *** Error: Missing photo: no valid path found for the photo 3173
    The odd thing is, when I searched iPhoto for the photos it says it failed to successfully import (e.g., P1060390.JPG), they're there.
    I also can't figure out to what the other photo numbers (e.g., 3173) refer.
    Is this error message something I can just ignore, considering the photos seem to be there?

    The best place to ask that question is from the developers of Library Manager, but this does sound like one of the databases is corrupted. The 3173 is likely a unique identifier used in the iPhoto Database.
    I would not ignore the messages.

  • Need iPhoto library management help

    I've been trying to organize and archive my photos and videos for the past few weeks. I have well over 250GB, spread over several iPhoto libraries on an external drive. Many of those libraries contain duplicate images, and are taking up way too much space. I am looking for an app that will scan multiple iPhoto libraries stored on an external drive for duplicates, so I can remove them and consolidate all of my libraries in the smallest amount of space possible.
    I haven't had luck with: Dupe guru, Duplicate cleaner for iPhoto, Photos Duplicate Cleaner or iPhoto library manager. I know that I had found one before that scanned the libraries and showed me which duplicate images were on which library and gave me the option to delete them. That was a while ago, and at that point, I hadn't organized things to the point that I was ready to start deleting. It may be one of the apps listed above that I'm just not using correctly. If so, and if someone can walk me through getting started doing it the right way, it would be much appreciated. If not, and there is a different app available, please let me know which one it is & I'll try it.
    Not sure if this matters, but I'm using OS X 10.7.5, iPhoto '09, version 8.1.2 (424)
    Thanks in advance.

    Duplicate Finder apps for iPhoto all search the contents of one library for duplicates. There is none that compare across Libraries.
    If you are seeking to consolidate your Libraries, then using Library Manager to merge them can be done while also eliminating duplicates.

  • Workflow help needed, transitioning from iPhoto/iPhoto Library Manager

    HI all, I am using latest Aperture, iPhoto, and 10.6.3 on lan connected macs and need some help setting up a workflow/libraries that represent some sanity amid the tens of thousands of photos that I have. Before getting Aperture3, i was using iPhoto and iPhoto Library Manager to work between an imac and an mbp; i would create a temp library to travel with on the mbp and then when I returned to the office I would merge the updated temp lib with the master lib housed on a huge external drive hanging off the imac. Using iPhoto Library Manager this is a lot of work and very slow indeed.
    So with my new install of Aperture3, I am sure there is a better way, I just have not found a coherent tut that explains what I should be doing under these circumstances. I see that I can import iPhoto libraries, and that I can also use referenced files to get things into Aperture no matter where they are, or I can ??? Really confused on all the options.
    Ideally, I think what we all want is a cloud like repository for all photos where users could check in and check out photos and have all the metadata preserved, but I guess they also want ice water down under, and haven't gotten that yet either.
    Short of the above fairytale, what can I do? I do expect to have another mbp in the field soon, so that will be two machines/users that will need to pull things out of a master repository and check back in updated files as well as add new files to the collective.
    Thoughts? Thx.

    1) Import my one massive iPhoto Library into Aperture 3 - but do I use referenced or embedded options? Is there any advantage to leaving everything in iPhoto and just referencing from Aperture? Or do I get everything into Aperture and then just blow away iPhoto?
    I see no reason to leave the files in iPhoto. If you agree you can do one of two things: either move them elsewhere and reference them or manage them in Aperture. Many folks recommend referencing them, but it's a choice only you can make.
    I see no reason to continue with iPhoto.
    2) In Aperture, I can export a set of projects from the main repository into a "traveling library", say when I take the MBP out on assignment,
    Correct: File -> Export Project as New Library
    and then when I return, I just import that library back and the updates I made on the road will get integrated with the whole again? If so, that's worth the price of admission!
    Correct.

  • How do i keep the original manual sort of my photos that i had in previous library after a rebuild in iphoto library manager?

    how do i keep the original manual sort of my photos that i had in previous library after a rebuild in iphoto library manager? and keep the events in the same order with blank events also

    Not sure you can.
    Library Manager creates an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.

  • IPhoto Library Manager hasn't managed to find missing photos after rebuild

    I'm trying to repair what I assume is my pal's corrupted iPhoto Library. There are over 8000 images in the Originals folder, which is the number of photos expected to be in iPhoto but he suddenly discovered there were only 1200.
    Having tried to rebuild the library with iPhoto Library Manager it is still only showing 1200 photos and I therefore wondered whether anyone can recommend any other solutions for trying to recover the missing photos?
    As always, any help most appreciated
    Kind Regards
    Bernard

    Did you try to rebuild with iPhoto with "Find orphans" option selected? If that doesn't work you'll have to start over with a new library as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
    1 - Move the existing library folder to the desktop
    2 - Open the library package like this.
    3 - Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    4 - Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.

  • VERIFY your library prior to update: iPhoto Library Manager

    I am a believer. Please, verify your iPhoto library prior to updating. In fact, verify it every few months. I did this with my iPhoto 5 Libraries prior to updating and I'm so happy I'm buying a SECOND license to IPLM just to say thanks. [1]
    How do you verify? You register iPhoto Library Manager ($20) and you use it to verify your library.
    But, you say, IPLM is just used to manage multiple libraries. There are free apps to do that, iPhoto 6 can handle 250,000 images (given enough machine power), iP6 can option-click load separate Libraries anyway.
    All right. Except IPLM is the most perversely unmarketed software in existence. The library manager features are free. They are nice, but not essential.
    What you get for $20 is the barely mentioned capability to combine (merge, import) Libraries or portions of Libraries (images and albums) with much of the metadata preserved (titles, comments, keywords(!), ratings, roll data, and album membership).
    But, you say, I don't need to merge Libraries. I have one Library, my partner(s) and children use the one Library, I don't have a desktop/laptop Library. Ahh, but you do need to verify.
    How do you verify? You tell IPLM to create a new Library and import all the images from your existing Library. You won't KEEP the new Library. You do this to test for problems.
    If there are no error messages, no glitches, matching image counts, etc -- you're fine. Otherwise, sort this out BEFORE you update.
    I have done this with two libraries of about 3000 images each. In each case IPLM/iPhoto identified ONE corrupted JPEG [2]. I was able to restore from old CD archives.
    Now I feel confident in the integrity of my iPhoto Libraries. I will be using IPLM to verify them every few months from now on.
    Highly recommended. And no, I'm not associated with them in any way.
    [1] In my case I have 3 iP5 Libraries and I want ONE iP6 Library on my iMac -- I decided to do the merge prior to going to iP 6 because IPLM has been used for over a year for iP 5 merges, so it's more tested that way.
    [2] What happens is iPhoto reports it couldn't import an image. On examination in an image editor the JPEG is corrupted. When I went to backups and the original Library I confirmed the corruption. Don't try to open these images in iP 5 -- they will cause iP 5 to hang with a spinning pizza of death. Yes, that's very bad programming. Preview manages them properly. In both cases I was able to get an original good image from old CDs and archives -- but I backup more than 99% of the world. I think these images were corrupted by older/flakier versions of OS X and iPhoto. I have a personal evidence-free belief that the pre-journaled OS X file system was not reliable.
    G5 iMac 20   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   G3 iBook

    Oops. Well, I still think IPLM is a very good way to test for Library problems, but I would strenously warn against using it to merge iPhoto 5 Libraries prior to running iPhoto 6.
    For more details see my blog:
    http://googlefaughnan.blogspot.com/2006/02/iphoto-6-what-bloody-mess.html
    The only safe way to merge iPhoto Libraries appears to be to buy Aperture.

  • Help/advice using iPhoto library manager

    I got the pay version of iPhoto library manager, and it seems to work well. But I'm looking for some advice on how to best organize my photos between the two libraries. I'm using the following basic system:
    I have my entire photo library containing all my photos on my external drive, and I named this library Lacie.
    Then I have a subset of my photos, basically my favorites and recent photos, on my laptop. This library is called Macbook. I am running low on space on my laptop (and soon will be running out on my external too and will need to get another one, but I can probably put that off for a bit).
    When I import photos, I usually import them onto my macbook, play around with the events, delete fuzzy photos, etc. Then periodically I move the new events over to my Lacie drive so that everything is on Lacie. I then delete photos that I don't like that much to make space on my Macbook.
    Now here's the problem. I went on a trip to France and I put all my photos on my Macbook, and I moved the events over to Lacie. Then at one point I organized all the france photos on my Macbook into albums. Now I'm trying to move that organization to Lacie, so I tried to drag those albums over to Lacie using Library Manager. However, it asks if I want to import duplicate photos and I don't, so nothing ends up happening except that empty albums are created. Is there a way to do this, or do I need to do all of my organization directly on my Lacie? Any advice about better ways to organize this? I'm new to this multiple libraries thing so maybe other people have worked out better systems.
    Thanks!

    Ok, so, say I import a bunch of photos from a trip. I have these photos in events by day, say 7 days worth of events. Now I want to put some of them in albums: photos to send to mom, photos to post to flickr, etc. I don't necessarily want all of them to go into albums, but I don't want to lose the ones that don't go into a particular album. What's the best way to copy those over to the Lacie once I'm done? Is it better to make one folder with all the photos from that week and then have albums within it containing the subcategories, so that I can just copy all the albums? If I copy the albums and then also copy the events, will that work?
    I guess mainly what's bugging me is that in iPhoto, photos exist in events and then are also organized into albums, like the library and playlists in iTunes. Having to think about them as separate things to copy over is confusing and I'm not sure how best to do it. I want to keep the organization in events AND albums without having duplicate photos taking up space.

  • Iphoto library manager - help!?!

    hi all
    not sure exactly how or why but i have 2 iphoto libraries on my mac - iPhoto Library and iPhoto Library old
    i am working on mergign the 2 libraries - i purchased  iPhoto Library Manager and it has been runny for almost 2 day (sheesh!  too many pics)
    well..... what happens when it is done and all my pics are in the 'Merged Library"
    did it physicall move all my pics form both libraries or did it just copy them into a 3rd library?
    do i delete/remove both - iPhoto Library and iPhoto Library old
    and what do i do to set my new Merged Library as my primary, one and only iPhoto Library?
    thanks in advance for reading and helping me out!!!
    =) joeanna

    Type iPhoto into the search window at the top and see how much CPU iPLM is using.  Click on the Disk Activity button at the bottom and see if there is any disk activity.  The graph will show if there is any.
    If iPLM is plugging along on its task its CPU usage will be high and the disk activity graph should show the line to be rather high on the chart.
    If it appears that there is no activity then things have stalled and you can quit out of iPLM.

  • Having trouble restoring iphoto via Iphoto Library Manager HELP

    I have been trying to restore I photo ( cant open it just spins) I downloaded Iphoto Library Manager as directed in other discussions but when I click add library there is nothing to choose from unless I choose manually (wouldn't know what to choose) There left side does have a check next to Default Library...and all my photos show up.  I really need these pics & hopefully my videos too ( Many are of my daughter that died and these are my only memories)

    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Alternatives to iPhoto Library Manager?

    A friend asked that I copy several photo collections onto a thumb drive for transfer to her machine.
    Both my friend and I have iPhoto.
    I tried using iPhoto Library Manager to copy some of my events into a new iPhoto Library on my friend's 32 GB thumb drive. (I don't want to copy my entire library over, as my iPhoto collection totals over 50,000 photos.) iPhoto Library Manager gave me a warning message that I need to purchase the software in order to copy photos from one library to another. As I have no real long-term use for iPhoto Library Manager, I would prefer not to buy it.
    Are there any freeware alternatives that allow me to copy specific events from one iPhoto library to another? I want to do this to preseve some of the information (including informative Event titles) so my friend can navigate all these photos more easily.
    An alternative might be to duplicate my entire iPhoto library and then delete most of it, leaving only the stuff my friend needs. This sounds like a VERY laborious route to take. (Unless iPhoto makes it easy somehow.)
    MY HARDWARE
    iMac 13,1 (late-2012) 2.9 GHz Core i5, 1 TB HDD, 8 GB RAM
    MY SOFTWARE
    MacOS 10.8
    iLife 2011
    Toast 9

    Library Manager will only copy a limited number at a time in trial mode. Once you buy that restriction is lifted.
    As for alternatives, no there are none at all, not to mind free ones.
    That said, what exactly do you want to copy... Copying with Library Manager gets everything - Original, edits, edit history, all the metadata, faces and so on.
    If you don't want everything then you can simply export from your iPhoto to a folder on the desktop. Copy that folder to the other machine and there import. This process will have the following limitations:
    - you will need to choose between the original and editied version, you won't get both and you'll lose the edit history (the ability to revert to the original, if you export the edted version)
    - You won't get the Faces.
    Petty much everything else can be exported. If you wan to preserver the Event titles then simply create a folder on the desktop. Name it for the Event. Export the contents of that Event to the folder. Repeat.
