Photo library upgrade on ipad

My ipad won't pass the screen that says upgrading your photo library.

Then make a backup of you iPad (just in case) and reinstall iPhoto.
Reinstall an app
Remove the app from your device and reinstall it:
Tap and hold any app icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle and show a small "x" in the top-left corner of the app.
Tap the "x" in the corner of the app you want to delete.
Tap Delete to remove the app and all of its data from your device.
Press the Home button.
Go to the App Store.
Search for the app and download it again.

Is there a way to really empty the Photo Library on an iPad?

I wanted to delete a couple hundred photos in the Photo Library on my iPad 3.
In the Photos app on the iPad, I used the "tap-to-select" method and trashed some of the photos, but this was way too slow, so I connected the iPad to my iMac via USB cable, and from within iTunes synced the iPad Photos to an empty folder. This cleared out the Camera Roll. (The "Photo Database" it created in the empty folder contains 892 bytes). The app window now says "No Photos or Videos."
In Settings/General/Usage/Photos & Camera/, the three menu items now show:
Camera Roll - 0 bytes
Photo Library - 642 MB
Photo Stream - 0 bytes
There, doing a "swipe-to-the-left" on the Photo Library bar brings up a red DELETE button. Hitting the button has no effect. It just takes me back to the previous menu (Photos & Camera) which also still shows 642 MB.
I have opened Preview.app on the iMac and looked in the iPad. There is nothing to delete.
Also, I opened Image Capture.app and had a look in the iPad. There is nothing to delete.
The Photos & Camera menu still indicates 642 MB are used.
Thanks for any suggestions.

sberman: My iMac is running iTunes 11.0.2 already. As well, the Photos tab in the iTunes window shows that "Sync Photos from" is un-checked. And in the box to the right of it is the greyed-out empty folder that I previously synced to in order to remove photos from the Camera Roll.
Ralph9430: I did a reset (Home + Sleep) earlier when I was trying everything I could think of. I have also re-synced a couple of times. No luck.
Thanks anyway. I was hoping someone out there would tell me they've experienced the same problems (non-functioning DELETE button, and persistent data in Photo Library), even if they haven't found a solution. Then I could assume it's a iOS 6 bug. All I can think of to do next is a full iPad restore.

Unable to install Photo Library Upgrader

I am using a 13in 2013 mac air 1.3 GHz Core i5 running version 10.9.2
I tried using iphoto today -- rarely use it, and it said I needed to install photo library upgrader -- would not open. I downloaded the upgrader but when I attempt to install it says no can do, that I need to be running iphoto 9.0 or later. The info says I am using version 9.5.1
This is the first time I have ever had a problem using apples nearly brainless software.
suggestions?

Sounds like you've updated an updater to the iPhoto application. The Library updater is a different thing. Try here:

Download it.
Install it.
Then go to Applications/Utilities and double click on it to run it.

How do I delete photo library from my iPad?

how do i delete the photo library from my ipad?

Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen or via the Edit button in thumbnail view. If you want to select and delete a lot of photos then in thumbnail view tap the Edit button and then try touching the first photo with two fingers and then slide the two fingers (not too quickly) across the photos that you want to remove and they should get ticked (it might take a few attempts)
Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from on your computer and then re-syncing - if you want to delete all synced photos then try selecting and syncing an empty folder.

ICloud photo library and iPhone/iPad storage space

Hi,
I use iCloud photo library beta for some time and it's a great feature for apple product. However, I'm a bit worried about what happend after some time. Now I have 20Gb of storage in iCLoud and 16Gb iPhone 6 and iPad air 2. On both of them is the "optimize iPhone/iPad storage" checked. What will happen after I would put 20Gb of photos to the iCloud and the iPhone and iPad wouldn't have enough storage to handle them (even when the photos are optimize)?
Thanks for any response or a link where it is discussed,
Jakub

Hi jakudo,
"optimize iPad/iPhone storage" means that photos don't have to take any storage capacity of your devices, if you are using your devices storage capacity e.g. for other content like music, apps etc. Your photos will be stored in the cloud and only a some of them are stored locally as long as you have storage space available. The only thing you have to do, is upgrading for more storage as soon as your passing the 20 GB.
With kind regards,
David

HT204264 iDevice Sync Query - IOS Photos & iCloud Photo Library over filling ipad iphone storage - what happens next?

Device Sync Query - IOS Photos & iCloud Photo Library fills ipad iphone storage - what happens next?
Quick question, when you select IOS Photo / IiCloud storage (photos are optimised etc) what happens when ipad / iphone storage is full and you now need to add new apps, photos etc? In my case I have 3 * 64gb ipads & 2 * 128 gb iphone but these are all filling up with photos since enabling IOS Photo & iCloud Photo Library (as all of my photos on each device are now copbined on every device as well as the cloud). This has become a problem as when I try to sync my idevice I get the device full warning (and I am assuming I now need to delete apps / videos if I want to sync or make more space for new photos etc). As far as I can tell once you enable IOS Photos and iCloud all photos will upload at original resolution and download at idevice resolution and there is no way to select / control the photos you want to keep on phone (eg if you delete photo on phone it will now delete the original on cloud).
Couple of questions / Suggestions:
- Will IOS Photos on IOS device automatically lower resolution of pics or use thumbnails for old photos that are already in icloud to ensure that there is space on device for new photos, apps videos music etc. Eg will old photos that have already been uploaded in icloud be replaced by new apps videos music etc (not sure that the IOS Sync or iCloud currently does this)
- Is there away to limit control or limit the number of IOS photos that sync to each idevice (eg by starring photos)? I had a look and can not see away to select photos you want to keep or remove (without deleting them on cloud). As per above I am hoping that the IOS sync and icloud systems are smart enough to replace Photos that have already upgraded to cloud with a lower quality / thumbnail to make more more room for new photos and apps (but not clear if this occurs)
- If this is a problem now what happens once the new PHOTOS launches for OS Desktop eg will it add in all our photos from iphoto to the icloud then to the idevice as part of the OS PHOTOS UPGRADE. I have 15-30 gb of photos in IPHOTO that are now backing up to icloud, there needs to be away to only select starred photos or albums or every photo try to download to my iphone (which will kill my storage). There also needs to be away to keep photos on idevice (for those times when you do not have internet and can not download from iCloud to iDevice
Apologies if I have missed something obvious and welcome any thoughts & answers.
If there is no solution then Apple needs to look at this and highlight it as a risk to customers who switch as this is being sold as a way to minimise your device storage but can lead to to customers using up more storage for photos on ipad iphone as a result of switch to IOS PHOTOS &
iCloud Photo Library

Things are not as dire as they might seem at first glance. My 66GB iPhoto Library became a 40GB iCloud Photo Library (~11K photos, ~300 videos) and only uses 2.2GB on my iPad and 2.4GB on my iPhone. Scaling that experience, a 64GB/128GB iOS device should be able to easily handle a 300GB iPhoto library. My iPad and iPhone are 32GB devices and I expect them to be livable through at least 30-40K of photos.
16GB devices have always been problematic for space even before iCloud Photo Library so I'd expect anybody with a 16GB device and more than a few thousand photos is not going to be able to use iCloud Photo Library with it. They will have to use iCloud Photo Streaming to get photos to iCloud Photo Library and iCloud Photo Sharing or iTunes syncing to get a subset of photos back to the device. Not a great solution but workable. However, it wrecks one of the best features for me which is using my iPad to edit the photos I take on my iPhone.
The part that worries me is the automatic space management routine. The problem it creates is that I might want to add a movie, but there won't be enough space, and my only option will be to reset iCloud Photo Library on the device to get back to all thumbnails on it to see if that gets me the space I need. I've already had to do it a couple of times with iTunes Match and it's not fun. It all depends on how aggressive Photo Library will be in trimming off full-size photos/videos and Apple appears to be leaving it a black box at this point. It would at least be nice to know an estimate of the minimum size so I know how much space I can recapture.

Updated iPhoto (2.0) and photo library upgrade is stuck

I have just updated to iPhoto 2.0 on my iPhone 5. I get a message that the photo library on this device is being upgraded. For the last over 30 minutes. I have tried to reboot, uninstall iPhoto and then redownload load, but same issue. (I have done the same update on an iPad with no trouble.) Anyone have any thoughts on what I could do?
Keith

Mine is doing the same thing. I have 3000 pictures and let it run for almost an hour and no luck. After a bunch of force closing and re launching it I got the message to go away but it shows no pictures. Opened it again and now it shows the same "The photo library on this device is being upgraded". Anyone get past this

Photo library upgrade causes crash

On starting iPhoto, I get the message "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto"
If I click upgrade the app crashes. If I click Quit the app closes.
Had problems with iPhoto as disk space was full, however now I can't start the app to remove photos. Can any one advise ?
Version iPhoto 9.4.3 on OSX 10.8.4
Thanks

Apologies re font. Looks like the photo library needing upgrading was a read herring. I was pointing to the wrong library. Now my original problem exists.
Trying to open iPhoto causes it to crash. I do get a report that I can send to Apple -
Exception Type: EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP)
Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000002, 0x0000000000000000
Application Specific Information:

However when the last set of photos were loaded, the load didn't complete, so I assume it hasn't cleaned up properly.

IPhoto '08 freezes on photo library upgrade

I realize this is pretty similar to other posts, but it's apparently different enough that answers to those posts don't seem to work for me.
After installing iLife '08, launching iPhoto indicates that I need to upgrade my photo library - only two options are [Upgrade] and [Quit]. Selecting [Upgrade] starts the "Updating photo library..." process. Time remaining is, apparently, "About an hour". And then...nothing. The status bar never moves, the program freezes and I'm left with Force Quit as my only option. Same result after each one of my (at least) ten attempts.
I tried using Terminal to unlock my photo library files to no avail. It doesn't seem to be an issue with losing the library since the photos are still there in Finder after I Force Quit iPhoto.
Any suggestions/ideas?
I apologize in advance if the question has already been answered - just point me in the right direction and I'll go away happy.
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Even though you tried terminal give this a try:download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name in the owner section and Staff in the group section. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. Then try again.
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. 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.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

HT5037 photo library upgrade has hung up my iPhoto program and library

I got this message to upgrade my photo library, and it has made my iphoto inoperable. I get a continual spinning circle in the center, while it is supposedly upgrading my photo library. I can't select the Quit button on the upgrade message, and I can't close the program. If someone knows how to get out of this inconvience I would appreciate the advice

Force quit, backup your iPhoto library, depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild your library

Photo library upgrade

The iPhoto Library Upgrader won't download on to my MacBook Pro (Yosemite 10.10.1) Download bar shows it's downloading,then nothing.Ideas? I can't get to my photos with the newest iPhoto.

It's def an older version: the new iPhoto icon and the former library icon both tell me I need the upgrade and link me to the appropriate Apple site. Download bar indicates it's downloading, when bar is full nothing more happens. No notice that it was successful, or not, or already in there. I've rebooted a couple times and tried again.Looked it Utilities folder each time as well aas anywhere I can think of on hard drive and Applications folder.
I live near a Mac store - time to take it in?

Not seeing last 12 months of pics after photo library upgrade

Opened iPhoto this morning and got the following pop up window message: "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto." I checked my version of iPhoto '11 (version 9.2.3 Build 629.52) and found that it is up to date. I also searched around on some community threads about this error, and it didn't seem to be a problem to upgrade the library.
As soon as I selected the option to upgrade the library, iPhoto started. Since that time, I have not been able to see any pictures from the past 12 months. It has been a couple of hours since starting the upgrade, and I'm not sure if that has been enough time for the library rebuild to finish. My iPhoto Library file is about 73 GB and use the Intego backup software that came with my iMac
Is there anything I can do to make sure the library is actually being upgraded?
What should I do if this does not complete by tomorrow?

Force quit out of iPhoto and do the following: make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
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
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
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 but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

How do I move my entire photo library from an iPad to a computer?

Hi to anyone who can help. I just made the huge mistake of switching my iMac to Lion and within minutes everything started going buggy. Now I can't even get the computer to stay unfrozen for more than a few minutes. I'm terrified I'm going o lose all my children's pictures. I have a time machine back up, but I am worried that that may have been corrupted as well. I have all my photos on my iPad though and would like to copy these over to another Mac or a PC if the time machine is screwed up. How can I transfer the pictures off my iPad? there's 16,0000 pf them, so emailing them out is not a real option. Thanks in advance or any advice.

Photos that were originally synced from a computer can be copied off via third-party iPad apps such as Simple Transfer (which has a free lite version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer which you can try first), which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on the computer.
Have you not got a backups of the originals on external drives ?

Will I lose my photo library upgrading from iPhoto 7.1.5

Hi, I just upgraded my OS to Lion (I was going to wait until Mountain Lion came out but apparantley my macbook (2008) is too old to support it). Anyway, I want access to the icloud and after upgrading to Lion, I discovered that I needed to upgrade my iphoto as well. Should I be concerned about losing my photos with this upgrade?

No
Unless something goes wrong which is why you always have a good backup before upgradating or upgrading

ICloud Photo Library: How do I transfer photos and videos only from my iPhone to my iPad but not from my iPad to my iPhone?

I had iCloud photo libraey turned on on both my iPad and iPhone. As said by the feature, photos and videos were being transferred automatically from each device to each other. I have a 64GB iPad Air 2 and my iPhone 5 only has 16GB of storage so I am lacking much more space on my iPhone than my iPad. I was wondering if there was a way to transfer photos only from my iPhone to my iPad but not from my iPad to my iPhone. Would turning off iCloud Photo library on my iPad do the trick? Thanks hope someone can help me out.

iCloud Photo Library keeps all of your photos in the Cloud which you then can selectively download. So, unless you download the iPad photos, they are not going to be taking up any room on your iPhone:
How does iCloud Photo Library save space on my device?
If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your iOS device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. iCloud Photo Library stores the original, high-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and can keep lightweight, device-optimized versions on each of your devices. As long as you have enough storage, recent photos and videos that you access the most will stay on your device at full resolution.
You can turn on Optimize [device] Storage from Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera > iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You need an Internet connection to access an original photo or video that’s stored only in iCloud.
