You don't.
These photos are a one way sync - computer to iphone. As they came from your computer in the first place, they should still be there.

Unless you can set the Time Capsule's drive to have it's ownership ignored
you won't be able to use the library on the same volume as the Time Machine backups.

How do I get my existing photo library from iPhoto to Photoshop?

How do I get my existing photo library from iPhoto to Photoshop?

Hello MWWWB,
Unlike iPhoto, Photoshop is only an editor. It does not store or organize images. In iPhoto preferences, you can choose Photoshop as an editor. You will then get a choice when you double click on an iPhoto thumbnail to use iPhoto or Photoshop to make edits. But Photoshop does not have a library to store images like iPhoto.
You may want to use Adobe Bridge or Lightroom to help name and organize your pictures. You can Export your iPhoto Library to a folder and manage the exported images there.
Personally, I hate the arcane manner iPhoto stores and organizes images. I use it only for photos from my iPhone.

How do I transfer pictures from Photo library to iPhoto library?

How do I transfer pictures from Photo library to iPhoto library?

You do not export to IPhoto - you export to the desktop and then import from there into iPhoto - then delete form the desktop
two separate steps
[1] Export from Photos and [2] import into iPhoto

Sync iPhone 4 Photo Library with iPhoto?

How do I sync my iPhone 4 Photo Library with iPhoto? I am able to sync the Camera Roll with iPhoto, but I cannot locate the Photo Library (899 pictures) when syncing from iPhone to iPhoto.
Thanks!

The photo sync is one way - computer to iphone.
You cannot sync the photo library form iphone to computer. Since the pics came from your computer in the first place, they should still be there and should be included with your regular backup of your computer. The iphone is not a storage device.
The pics are reduced in resolution when synced to iphone anyway.

If I install a trial version of Aperture and don't like it, will I be able to still use my photo library in iPhoto?

I'm evaluating both Aperture and Adobe's Lightroom to decide which one meets my needs for the best price (got a deal on Lightroom 3 for $120 and I know Aperture 3 is $79 in the Mac App Store).
I have a few questions:
I currently use iPhoto '11 (9.1.3) and have Photoshop CS4, so I have tools for importing DSLR shots and making pro-type changes in Camera Raw, while also having iPhoto to organize my photo library and syncing Events and Albums with my iPhone and iPad.
I like that I would be able to maintain my iPhoto library data for Faces and Places in Aperture, but am concerned that when the iPhoto library is "upgraded" for Aperture, and I decide I don't really need that program, the upgraded library won't work with iPhoto anymore.
Will I still be able to use iPhoto to access and organize my library, or will it be forever converted for use with Aperture?
I'm considering Lightroom because I have been disappointed with the number of bugs showing up in recent iPhoto releases. I'm a bit weary of buying another photo management software product from Apple. iPhoto '11 crashed my old iMac very frequently (I wound up upgrading to a new iMac due to this and I was expecting to run out of hard drive space in a year or two anyway).
Recently, iPhoto bugs make Events show up multiple times in iTunes when syncing for iPhone and iPad.
If iPhoto management is this unstable, I would like to consider choosing a new method of organizing and syncing to iOS devices and abandoning the iPhoto library method.
Will I find a better user experience with Aperture, or does it also use the single file library and suffer the same struggles iPhoto users have been seeing lately?

The iPhoto library isn't changed in any way by Aperture. Aperture will import the Library and you can choose to copy the files to the Aperture Library or reference them within iPhoto. As long as you don't delete files from the iPhoto Library via Aperture (which you could do if you choose to Reference) there is no impact on iPhoto

They are completely different libraries.

Fixed in the 9.1.3 update.
Will I find a better user experience with Aperture, or does it also use the single file library and suffer the same struggles iPhoto users have been seeing lately?
Like iphoto, Aperture can use the "single file library" or it can use a Referenced Library (just like iphoto can). Note that using a Referenced Library offers not a whit more in terms of features or capabilities. It's file storage plain and simple. Nothing more.
No you won't see the "same struggles iPhoto users have been seeing..." because Aperture is an entirely different allication.
But you my see Aperture or Lightroom struggles

How do I import my photo library to iPhoto?

I recently got a new mac and a new iPhone, so I imported my photos from iphoto which was my old camera roll and transfered it to my new iPhone. On my iPhone I now have three albums, Camera Roll and Photo Library and another album that is the same as photo library. First can I delete photo library or the other album? Second my more important question, how do I import my photo library from my iphone to my new mac? Thanks

It has said this for about a month now and I would just hide iPhoto since I could not close it. I have not needed to turn off my computer until now. But now it is a problem because I can not upgrade my computer

Upgrading of photo library from iphoto 8.1.2 to 9.6

I have had my photo library running on an external disk on my old iMac with iphoto 9 (8.1.2) running. I just bought a MacBook with iPhoto 9.6 installed. I wanted to switch my external disk to the MacBook, and when I did so I got prompted with: "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto". I clicked upgrade, and the the machine proceeded to upgrade, but with the window stuck on: "Rebuilding thumbnail cache". I am not able to connect iPhoto 9.6 with my photo library on the external disk. Any suggestions how to resolve this?

I have no backup.
<insert obligatory lecture on the importance of backing up, especially before updating anything right here>
There are no guarantees now, as the process of upgrading the Library has broken down. The break might be trivial or terminal, it's in the lap of the gods.
Quit iPhoto. That upgrade is in trouble and won't complete.
Make a back up now - at least we can stop things getting worse.
Then:
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.
Worth a try...

Trouble importing old photo library to iPhoto 06

I just updated to iLife/iPhoto 06. When importing old photo library which is 7-8,000 photos, I got 24,000 + images incl. images of computer icons, demo photos, images that look like pieces from web pages (headers, part of photos etc), 4-5 copies of my own photos, some look like they are "pixilated", which the original wasn't. Any idea of what happened and how to fix this, short of manually deleting each image that doesn't belong?
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Terence,
Tks, I kind of suspected that. I'm new to Macs and more used to PCs, and by no means good at either system, so it sometimes gets confusing.
Anyway - Here's the list from the iPhoto Library folder - I did copy & paste, but it didn't paste in the same order it is listed in the iPhoto Library window. I guess it should all be there though.

By the way, here's another question, a bit off the current subject: Sometimes we have trouble playing video clips downloaded from our camera. Sometimes iPhoto will play the audio but no picture, sometimes the other way around, and there don't seem to be any common thread one way or the other. Recently a bunch of clips that used to play audio only "repaired themselves" and are not playing fine. But others are only playing video with no sound. Any idea of whats going on?
Thanks

I've lost my photo library and iPhoto pictures & i want to get them back

i deleted photobooth & iphoto from my pictures folder. now when i open photo booth & iphoto it says it cannot locate my photo library and i have no pictures. i want my pics back help!

re: ''Still, my inbox now displays only the emails on the server; these are proper synchronised.''
As you have 'synchronised' the folder, I assume you use an IMAP mail account.
Please confirm that you use IMAP or Pop.
IMAP mail accounts see a remote view of the subscribed folders that are on the server.
So if your webmail account only shows eg: 10 emails in Inbox and in Thunderbird you only see those 10 emails in the account Inbox then nothing is wrong in that they are the same.
Are you saying that the emails were deleted off the server, so that they are also deleted in thunderbird?
check: Tools > Activity manager
Does it say any anything about deleting loads of emails?
Do you know if compacting occured?
One possibility:
Your Inbox folder was corrupted and then the folder was compacted either manually or automatically.
It removed all 'marked as deleted; emails, but as the folder was corrupted, Tb could not determine where the 'marked as deleted' email ended and therefore may have deleted good emails.
If this occured then there is no way to get them back unless you had a backup of your emails.
It is advised that you keep an Inbox for incoming new mail and move good emails into suitable folders for organising and compact the folder on a regular basis.
See info on keeping a healthy Thunderbird:

Info on compacting - what it does and why it is important:

I lost entire photo library in iPhoto. How do I retrieve the lost library?

I went to open iPhoto only to find my entire photo library was gone. I have no idea how this has happened. I backed up my photos on an external hard drive but cannot access them that way. I keep getting a message saying it's a backed up version and I have to hit "option" while I open iPhoto. That is not working either. How can I find these lost photos?

I keep getting a message saying it's a backed up version and I have to hit "option" while I open iPhoto.
What kind of backup of your library do you have? If it is aTime Machine backup, see this document:
iPhoto '11: Restoring from Time Machine with iPhoto '11 (9.2 or later) and OS X Lion 10.7.2 (or later) - Apple Support
I went to open iPhoto only to find my entire photo library was gone. I have no idea how this has happened.
What did you do, before this happened? Have you been updating or upgrading software? Moved your iPhoto Library to a new location on external drives?
Have there been crashes? which version of iPhoto or MacOS X do you have?

HT204655 Can you use the new photos library for iPhoto to save space

I want to use the same library for photos and iPhoto because that way it will use a fraction of the space. Is that possible.

When you open the iPhoto library with Photos for the first time it will convert it to a Photos library. However, there is not a duplication of files or lost space on the HD. This is because the Photos library uses hard links to the original files in the iPhoto Library thus not duplicating files or taking up more space on the HD even though it may see so in the Finder.
I suggest you keep the iPhoto application and library until you're sure the Photos app and library will suit your needs. Photos is missing many features that iPhoto has which many of rely on heavily. You may find that Photos isn't for you right now and you want to continue using iPhoto until those missing features are restored.

How access iphone 4 Photo Library on iphoto?, how access iphone Photo Library on iphoto?

the 'Photo Library' that is on my iphone 4 is from my previous iphone 3. I know how to sync, but no where on iphoto does the phones Photo Library appear. How do I access this?

To get the photos from your iPhoto Library on your Mobile device to the computer, add them to the Camera Roll, see: http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/1.1/#blnkee26bc1f
Import photos to iPhoto or Aperture on your computer
Tap a photo and tap .
Tap Camera Roll.
Confirm or change the photos you want to share:
Select all the photos in an album or event: Tap All.
Select a range of photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.
Connect your iOS device to your computer.
Open iPhoto or Aperture, and import your photos.

ICloud Photo Library and iPhoto/Time Capsule

Ok, so I'm thinking about getting a Time Capsule. I use iCloud Photo Library and also use iPhoto to sync my photos to my Macbook. I have the storage optimizer turned on in iCloud Photo Library.
That being said, let's say that I sync my iPhone to my Macbook and import my photos into iPhoto. Presumably, this is only going to import the photos in the storage-optimized resolution, correct? My goal here is to have my full-resolution photos backed up both to iCloud as well as iPhoto/Time Capsule. Is there any way to do that other than to turn off the size optimization? The big problem problem I see with that is that when my phone gets full and I have to clear off the photos, this clears them from iCloud as well and I'm left with only the Time Capsule backup.
Am I wrong or have they kind of made these two products somewhat incompatible? Is this something that's going to be addressed with the new Photos app for OSX, where you can download the original resolution files from iCloud into Photos and then back up?

Yes, the photos will still stream from My Photo Stream to iPhoto on your Mac, even with iCloud Photo Library Beta enabled. Like before, the camera.app needs to be closed and the device connected to Wi-Fi, and properly charged.
You can see the photos also using the iCloud home page from the Photos.app Beta at iCloud.com .

Help! Can't update photo library for iphoto 6.1

I just installed iLife. When I went to open iphoto it appeared to be updating my photo files. Then it stopped and a window popped open that said I needed to give read write permissions to all files. I made sure that all my photo files have read write permissions. Everytime I try to open iphoto it goes through the same procedure of trying to update the photo files and then gives me the same message about the permissions. Then it crashes.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jenny

JenTob:
Try the following: download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. That will get any files that may have snuck by you. It's very effective.
