What version of iPhoto are you running with Mavericks on the new MBP. It should be 9.5.1. The Migration assistant sometimes has problems with iPhoto Libraries. Connect the two Macs together and manually copy the library the then old MBP to the Pictures folder of the new MPB. First, move any existing libraries out of the Pictures folder to the Desktop before copying.
Lauch iPhoto and check the library to see if it's working correctly and you can see your photos. If not shut down iPhoto and Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

Iphoto migration problems with faces

I recently attempted to migrate my iPhoto Library from my old iMac to my new MBP by copying it to an external drive and then copying that to the MBP hard drive. The iMac was running iPhoto 9 (couldn't upgrade the OS due to RAM limitations) and the MBP is running iPhoto 11. The original library had a minor problem with Faces in that it would always identify a few faces for certain people but even after hitting "confirm" it would still leave those as unconfirmed. A minor annoyance and I didn't really care. Since transferring it however, Faces on the MBP takes literally 5-10 minutes to close once I hit "save" after confirming faces. If I click on the icon in the dock during that time it says "Application Not Responding." In addition, some of the faces are now blank boxes with dashed lines around them.
I've run through all the repair options within iPhoto (via the command-option menu when starting it) including a rebuild. When that didn't help I rebuilt the library with iPhoto Library Manager. Now it doesn't recognize any unconfirmed faces as belonging to anyone whom I've already categorized. I did upload new photos, tagged a couple faces and it didn't recognize that the same face in the same scene in another photo was likely the same person as in the previous 4 photos. Weird. Stranger still is that Faces now has tagged a bunch of people with the wrong names. So I open up Aunt Jane's Faces folder and there's the faces of Uncle Mark, Cousin Pete, etc. Clearly something is corrupted. I could just go back to using the old Library on the iMac and hope it doesn't totally kick the bucket but it's never been the same since I upgraded it to Mountain Lion and I'd really like to have access to my photos on my MBP. Any suggestions? TIA.

Hi, can't be on 10.3, what is the OSX version you're on?
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
Reboot & hold option or alt key when opening iPhoto.
Any change?

Hard Drive warning when upgrading to Mountain Lion. 2 try and I was able to upgrade. Software update for IPhoto, had problems restarting. Do I need my hard drive checked

Hard Drive warning when upgrading to Mountain Lion. 2nd try and I was able to upgrade. Software update for IPhoto, had problems restarting. Do I need my hard drive checked

Yes.
Choose Apple menu > Restart. Hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys as your computer restarts.
When you see a white screen with an Apple logo in the middle, you can release the keys.
Click Disk Utility, and then click Continue.
In the list at the left, select the item you want to repair. (Be sure to select an item that’s indented to the right in the list, not an item at the far left.)
Click First Aid.
If Disk Utility tells you the disk is about to fail, back it up and replace it. You can’t repair it.
Click Repair Disk.
If Disk Utility reports that the disk appears to be OK or has been repaired, you’re done.
Otherwise, you may need to do one of the following steps.
If Disk Utility can’t repair your disk or it reports “The underlying task reported failure,” try to repair the disk or partition again. If that doesn’t work, back up as much of your data as possible, reformat the disk, reinstall Mac OS X, and then restore your backed-up data.
If you continue to have problems with your disk, it may be physically damaged and need to be replaced

Photoshop/Elements to Revel Photo Migration Problem!

What happened to my Photoshop/element photos? They were supposedly migrated, but I don't see them! I have no albums in my Revel account.I had a paid subscriiption and it was cancelled back in or around February, and told that the photos would be moved over to REVEL...Can anyone help me to get them back?

First, thanks Pattie for following up with me. I am going to check my backed up hard drives to see if my photoshop materials are on them. It will take me a few days, as I have only small amounts of time to research it at this time. maybe a break will come in a day or two for a determination.

Michael-
Is it possible you logged into Photoshop.com with a different email, or is it possible that you did not set up your Elements to sync with Photosho.com? These are the two main reasons users can not find their files.
The Photoshop.com account created in 2009 with the email you use to log in to this forum has no files in it, and therefore, nothing migrated to the Revel account with the same login. You do have a Revel account with the same login, but it is also empty since nothing migrated.

In Iphoto 11 all 7000 of my photos show the same thumbnail. I rebuilt the thumbnail using ctr alt and opening iPhoto. This worked and rebuilt the thumbnails correctly. Then when I reopened iPhoto the problem came back? Help please?

Where is your Library stored?

Will the data entered under "Add a description" in iPhoto migrate with the images into Photos?

Will the data entered under "Add a description" in iPhoto migrate with the images into Photos?

Thanks for the reply. My particular use of iPhoto is for documents that I have photographed from archives, libraries, and other repositories across the US and Europe. For each one I have added a complete citation and notes. I am so relieved to hear that all my years of work on this will migrate with the new app!

Iphoto slow problem - photos are organised in folders not film rolls

I'm suffering from the iphoto slow problem and have been trying to find a way to stop iphoto from loading all the photos every time.
My photos are arranged in folders, so I don't seem to have the option to stop the photos being loaded by film roll.
Does anyone have any other ideas ?

I'm not sure what that means. Whether you have albums or not, iPhoto still considers a single import batch as a roll. If the rolls are not collapsed, then everytime you launch iPhoto, it assumes you want to be able to see your entire library, and it goes about the job of making all the thumbnails available.

IPhoto migration from iPhoto 6 to 9 problem

I am upgrading from an old iMac running Tiger to a new Mac currently running Maverick. I went to transfer over a large photo collection in iPhoto. My previous version of iPhoto was 6.0.6. The new version is 9.5.1. Since my old mac was too old for Migration Assistant, I attempted to transfer all my photos (via the iPhoto library) via an external hard drive. I copied the library to the iPhoto and as expected the library needed to be updated with iPhoto Library Upgrader. However, about 90 percent of the way through the upgrade, I received messages that "The volume for <file name> cannot be found. I was given three options: cancel (results in cycling through missing files names--about 100 and then back through again, but never out); Find Photo (goes to Finder window) or Try again which simply comes back to the same screen). While in this stage, I can't access any of the iPhoto controls, including Preferences. From what I've read here, I suspect this are certain images which are referenced and separate from iPhoto library which are not linked, but at this point, I haven't seen a single photo from the transfer and am not sure what to do next. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Chris

From what I've read here, I suspect this are certain images which are referenced and separate from iPhoto library which are not linked
That's it exactly.
There really is no good way forward now. If you still have the other machine I would rebuild the v6 library there - get it working first. Then copy the repaired version over.

Iphoto 5 : problems with exportation high quality photos with music

as I want to export some photos in an acceptable quality with music, I found the only possibility was by exportation them as quicktime file (xx.mov).
There you can choose the resolution of your photos.
By doing this there exists a button "momentan ausgewählte musik zum film hinzufügen" which even after many trials did not work.
even apple support couldn`t solve the problem.
Does anyone have an idea how it would work?
PS: I tried also other ways by using exportation as diashow in iphoto , or by using idvd - in both ways music is exported but photos are visible only in very low quality.
regards zacambo

Hi Léonie, All the sw is at latest update. The library was simply copied from the old machine to the new machine. When I launched the new version of iPhoto (on the new machine) I pointed it to the copied iPhoto library and it picked it up without any issue. The first time I opened it, iPhoto spent some time migrating the data format from the old iPhoto version to the new, but that was done only once. I am not sharing the library between the old iPhoto and new; now the migrated library is for the exclusive use of the new iPhoto.
Regarding error messages in syslog, it's quite funny, I do see them, and they reflect the fact that iPhoto has gone off to la-la land for extended periods of time, ignoring all user input (this is what results in the spinning disc in Mac OS):
1/28/14 9:16:18.792 PM WindowServer[127]: disable_update_timeout: UI updates were forcibly disabled by application "iPhoto" for over 1.00 seconds. Server has re-enabled them.
1/28/14 9:16:20.926 PM WindowServer[127]: common_reenable_update: UI updates were finally reenabled by application "iPhoto" after 3.13 seconds (server forcibly re-enabled them after 1.00 seconds)
So that was a common 3 second "hang" of iPhoto. Nothing apart from those kinds of messages.
Thanks for the links to iStat... i do in fact have the latest version of it and don't have that problem with Mavericks.

Migration Problems with Time Capsule and New MacBook Pro

Hopefully someone on here can help with with this problem I'm having. I just bought the new 13' MacBook Pro this week from the store and I no longer have my old MacBook Pro. I have a Time Capsule with complete backups of my old MacBook Pro and I also have the internal hard drive from it as well.
I had installed the beta version of Mountain Lion on the old MacBook Pro and the new one still has Lion.
The problem is that every time I have tried to use the Migration Assistant (and I've tried 3 times now) my files and applications are getting messed up.
iPhoto won't open. It says that it needs to be updated but when I check to update it it says that there is no update needed.
I'm seriously about to beat my head against the wall because every time I migrate the data it takes about 12 hours. I'm thinking at this point that it might be easier for me to just swap out the internal hard drives in the units because it is possibly an issue with the OS' and wait until next month to try migrating to the new drive again after Mountain Lion is officially launched.

Bob,
I appreciate your honest and prompt response. I was VERY SPECIFIC when I told the sales rep I was hoping to use the Time Capsule with two different MacBook Pro's on different subnets (one is behind a firewall on a router, one is directly connect to a WAN side IP with no firewall) and the sales rep made a point of saying that the dual band feature would facilitate this connectivity which left me with the impression (obviously wrong) that the WiFi features of the time capsule could be used to communicate with multiple Macs regardless of their own networking configurations. (I have been configuring fairly complicated networks for 20 years and only bought my first Mac two and a half years ago; the second Mac is only six months old; the third will be bought next month.)
This isn't the end of the world for me... it does require reconfiguring my network and doing a lot of port tunneling for the box outside of the firewall in order to bring it inside as well as giving up some remote access redundancies (which were based on the ability to connect to both machines using VNC software which is port specific which means that it needed separate WAN side IP addresses).
Overall I love the Mac approach compared to the nightmare that was (is) Windows (although I do also run an Ubuntu Linux box just to keep me honest). That said, your sales reps do your products a HUGE disservice when they give glib and incorrect answer to what was, I believe in my case, a very specific and precise question.

IPhoto performance problems with large library

I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro Retina (2013 model) with top-of-line options. The hardware specs are 2.6Ghz Core i7 (8 cores), 16 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, and OS X 10.9.1 (Mavericks).
The machine came with iPhoto 11 (v9.5.1). I successfully ported my iPhoto library from my old MacBook Pro to the new machine. The iPhoto library is about 550 GB on disk, and consists of about 2000 Events, 95000 Photos, and about 50 Albums & Smart Albums. The images in the library are a mix of JPEG, RAW and other content types such as MOV and AVI etc.
I have measured the performance of the internal SSD with tools like Black Magic and seen read & write speeds in excess of 850 MB/sec (obviously sequential). This is the fastest disk performance of any machine I've ever worked on, so I question whether iPhoto is slow because of this.
Despite the formidable hardware resources of this machine (proven running other workloads), iPhoto still behaves like a dog with my library. Opening iPhoto takes about 10 seconds to get to the first screen. Deleting a bunch of photos will result in a spinning disc for about 10-15 seconds while the images move to the Trash. Emptying the trash with 500-1000 photos takes about 15 minutes. Reorganizing events can take up to 30 seconds. Even browsing from photo to photo incurs lags of several seconds. This lack of response time makes the sw frustrating if not impossible to use efficiently.
During all these delays I have monitored system perfromance with various tools like Activity Monitor and iStat Menus. The odd thing is that when iPhoto is spinning its disc I am not seeing any kind of system resource bottleneck. In other worlds, CPU is barely utilized on any of the 8 cores, disk IO is minimal, and there is zero network IO. To ensure maximum RAM utilization, I run iPhoto after a fresh reboot and do not launch any other apps while it's running. For the life of me I cannot imagine what iPhoto is doing.
I have also tried several of the library recover / rebuild options as well, but no problems were reported with the library and performance did not improve.
I am considering upgrading to Aperture, but I wonder if both these solutions have serious design limitations when working on large libraries, which result in significant performance issues.
I would be interested in learning what experience other users have when working on iPhoto libraries of similar size.
Summary:
iPhoto library size on disk: 550 GB
Events: approx 2,000
Photos: approx 95,000
Albums & Smart Albums: approx 100
Regards,
Nico

Migration problem - can you solve?

Problem:
I need to migrate a 120GB hard drive OS 10.3.9 system to a 75GB partition on a new hard drive. I have an iTunes music folder which is about 70 GB. I also just purchased SuperDuper! to help with the system cloning. I also have two SATA 300GB drives - oneof which I want to house the iTunes music folder on.
Question:
So, how do I do this and retain all of my preferences (iTunes playlists, playcounts, etc.)? I did a full copy/backup of the 120GB system using SuperDuper! to the second SATA drive for safe keeping.
A couple of other questions; 1) how would I do this for iPhoto and iMovie (how do I copy the data to the SATA drive and then have all of the preferences stay on the new 75GB PATA drive partition?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Do the following:
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the volume to clone from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Drag the volume to the Source entry field.
5. Select the backup volume from the leftside list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
If you haven't yet done so be sure you properly prep the new drive:
1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
2. After DU loads select the new hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
Repeat steps 4-6 for each partition if more than one.

I have a variation of this question. I've looked at the article and don't get an exact answer for myself.
I have a new iMac PPC G5 and don't want to lose any of my ratings or dates downloaded info for iTunes on the old machine.
Migration assistant is not working for me so I've tried to do the work manually.
I have all my music and most info successfully moved, placed as it was on my old ~music/itunes.... location.
But, I did not get and do not see how to get the info on my ratings and date/time downloaded.
Any ideas.
I'm connected to the old hard drive via a Firewire and am in the Firewire target mode.
Thanks.

IPhoto Migration

I had been using an iMac from 2010 with all the '09 version of the iLife goodies like iPhoto, iMovie etc. I just purchased a new iMac and using Migration Assistant, moved all my files including the user over to the new computer. Everything worked fine! (Don't here that much on this board do ya!)
My problem is that I moved over iPhoto '09 with all my files, same with iMovie etc. The new computer has the '11 versions. So, essentially, I have a new computer set up with myself as a user with empty iLife 2011 empty software. I have another User that is a mirror of my old computer with iLife 2009 filled up with all my photos and media.
Since they don't give us disks nowadays. How do I update my 2009 iLife with the iLife '11 that came with my new computer?

Go to the App store and log in with the Apple ID for the new computer - accept iPhoto and then download it
And
Migration assistance does not handle the iPhoto library well sometimes - the best way is to drag the bad iphoto library from the pictures folder on the new system to the desktop, connect the two systems together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old system to the pictures folder of the new system and launch iPhoto on the new system - it will open and convert the iPhoto library as necessary and you will be fine - once you test the iPhoto library you can delete the one on the desktop
