Photos 2015

I upgraded to Photos 2015.
It creates a new library for pictures, duplicating the one from Iphoto.
Is it safe to cancel the Iphoto library and Iphoto itself?
In Photos I noticed that the videos (mpg files) that were working in Iphoto are not working any longer.
And where do the pictures deleted go in Photos? No trash?

I would still update and maybe try this this is what I did and it worked for me -
HI,
Maybe try it this way this is what I did with mine because I did not migrate and didn't know about that either.
and really have the sidebar so because it will help you get the pictures organized
Photos application for Mac Instructions that might help!
On your iPad,iPhone keep the iCloud on in settings for Photos.
if you have not opened the New Photos application yet to have it transfer your photos from iPhoto let it Transfer the Pictures.
once you have all the pictures from iPhoto to Photos then in Photos go to Preferences
there is general and iCloud tab and go to the iCloud and only uncheck the iCloud button that will make it so it doesn't sync with your iPhone and iPad for Photos.
Then in Photos go up to View and press show sidebar because with that view you can move your pictures easier to albums snd delete or move any pictures or make new albums
For Duplicates if you have a big pile in a row and I mean not like every other picture of the same pictures on the keyboard Hold down the shift button. or the other way is to Hold down the Command buttom that is right by the space bar then on the trackpad or mouse click once on the picture you want to delete and do a bunch at a time then on the last picture of that pile either right click the picture and delete or go up to the edit button which is next to file on the top left and click delete in edit. 
when you are all done with moving around your pictures or whatever go back to Preferences and turn on iCloud and make sure you have the optimize Mac Storage and then you are done! I hope this makes sense and works for you! here are the 2 pictures I'm talking about in settings.

  • Where are my 'events' in photo 2015?

    I have years of photos stored by "events".  I just did the update and the Events are gone!  Help!  Where are they?

    OK I just found them.  YOu have to open the sidebar, and they are there in a folder.  Whew.

  • Photos update won't open past the "preparing library" page

    iPhoto just updated to Photo 2015.  I can't get to my pictures because the app won't open past the "preparing library" page.
    The iPhoto update, under Apps, won't let me resume the update - I get an error "this item is temporarily unavailable".
    Any ideas?

    Hi wolfey_j
    Welcome to apple discussions.
    Drag and drop the plist for iDvd to the trash followed by a full restart of your mac and then repair permissions from apple's disc utility (application > utilities > disc utility)
    The plist for iDvd looks like this:
    com.apple.iDvd.plist
    If that fails to resolve this issue then delete iDvd using this free download from apple's web site:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/appdelete.html
    You'll need to re-install iDvd again (custom install from the software that shipped with your mac or any retail copy of iLife'09). And lastly run apple's software updater from system preferences so all is up to date again. (not a bad idea to repair permissions one more time after updating all apps.)
    Hope this resolves the issue/s but if not just come on back.
    Good luck.

  • Iphoto 9.6 shows zero pictures

    I’ve been struggling with iphoto for several months.  When I open iphoto, it looks like I have never uploaded pictures.  However iphoto library info says 76.65GB of memory used of data since 2009.  I made a back-up copy of the folder and even tried to replace the folder to no avail.  I tried to rebuild the folder with iphoto library manager, but received a message of no photos still in iphoto.  Here is a copy of the process:

    Can anyone help restore all my pictures.  I know it’s in the library, but why won’t it show up?
    Thanks,
    Leslie

    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a Folder called 'Master' or 'Old masters'.
    Is there one?  Look inside. Are your photos there?
    Make no changes - just report back with the result.

  • IPhoto 9.6, can update only 1 out of 6 old libraries

    I have upgraded from OSX 10.9 to Yosemite (10.10.1) and then from my previous version of iPhoto (don’t remember the exact version) to iPhoto 9.6.
    At the first opening, iPhoto asked to update the default library to work properly with the new version. The process started and after an additional request to repair the permissions, it ends quickly and correctly (the library size is 26 GB).
    Since I have more than one library I tried to do the same process for all libraries but iPhoto always starts the process and never ends. When the process starts I always get the request to update the library and after few seconds the correct structure of the database appears in the Source List area but the Viewing Area remains totally black with the spinning wheel in the center.
    I went through most of the discussions I found in this forum and I think to have tried all the suggested walkaround but I never solved my problem: I can open correctly only the library that was first updated but no way to end the update process for any of the remaining libraries.
    Here below the list of what I have already tried:
    - reboot
    - repair disk permissions with disk utility
    - run iPhoto Library Upgrader; all the libraries were already compatible with the current iPhoto version
    - restore libraries from a Time Machine backup
    - check libraries content; all the pictures are still present in the Data folder (the libraries size ranges from 364 MB to 21 GB)
    - run iPhoto First Aid; tried all the 4 options
    - disintall iPhoto and re-install it again
    - run the update process overnight; after more than 10 hours the spinning wheel was still there
    Any ideas are welcome !
    Thanks

    I did it but the rebuild process failed. iPhoto Library Manager was only able to rebuild the database (i.e. all the albums were created), pictures are still missing.
    I had a look to the error log file and I think that the main issue is related to the fact that iPhoto Library Manager (and maybe also iPhoto 9.6) is looking for the pictures in the Master folder which is not present in any of my old libraries. This is part of the error log file:

  • Create all folders in a string

    i have string of where a file should be stored. How can I covert all them to make a folder.
    Macintosh HD:Users:User:Pictures:a:b:c:d 
    Where all a b c and d need to be created.
    Sometimes 'a' may exist as might the whole path.
    also the length of the path may be longer
    i hope that someone can help
    many thanks

    How do I get its folder location?
    tell application "Finder" to set a to folder (do shell script "mkdir -p 'Volumes/DCKGEN/Brands/Zoom/Brand - Zoom/Upload Photos/2015/Week98/DIVA/JPG'")

  • I didn't realize that I had a trial version and I can't do anything with my photos and I'm on the 2014 cc version. Now what? If I have to purchase the 2015 version, will I be able to work on my photos and will it be the software and not the download versi

    I didn't know I was using a trial version of PDF files and now I can't do anything with them and I keep getting a notice for the 2015 version as I have the 2014 cc. If I have to purchase the 2015, will it be the download version or will I get the software version?

    Hi scarabs55,
    Are you working with Acrobat or Photosohp? (You mention both PDF files and photos, so it's not clear.)
    Let us know what software you're thinking about upgrading and we can point you in the right direction.

    Starting in 2015 I get the following error when I try to import my photos. "The following files were not imported because they could not be read"  -DSC8416.NEF  I've been importing the same type of photos with no errors then 2015 came along and now I can no longer import.

    The error message is misleading, the problem is that you need WRITE privileges added to the destination directory tree.
    Assuming you are using the "date" structure that LR defaults to, find the directory that contains the 2014 folder (the one that works) and add WRITE rights to the parent of "2014".
    While you are there, if you want, add "2015" folder to beside "2014" and add READ and WRITE rights to that new directory.

  • Photos wont import from my 5s into Aperture since 2015 & photo stream has stopped

    Since new year none of my photos on my 5s are showing in Aperture to import. Everything from previous years is visible in Aperture to import but it shows nothing from 2015???
    The photo stream in Aperture has also stopped on the 1st Jan 2015??
    If I plug in my ipad it will show the photo that has been taken in 2015 and I can import it no worries which makes me think its my phone???

    in my case it turned out to be a corrupt thumbnail cache on the iPhone. The more I tried to use pictures in other apps the more it became obvious that something bigger was wrong, not just with apeture. For example I couldn't select a photo from my phone to upload to facebook either, it just did nothing when I clicked on them. Some research revelaed that with the freeware "iExplorer" that lets you browse the phone as files on a disk you can delete the cache files and databases and force the phone to rebuild them. Upon rebuilding them everything is back and I just imported eveything into Aperture without difficulty. After running iExplorer I navigated into the media folder, and the photo data folder. I deleted the "com.apple.photos/caches_metadada.plist" and also the "Photos.sqlite" and "PhotosAux.sqlite" files then shutdown and restarted the phone. The first time I accessed the photos after the restart it said I had no photos, but a little while later it rebuilt the lists and all is well. That info I got off some site on the internet and I believe that it's been posted here on apples discussions site too, but it never hurts to have more than one copy I have no idea how they got corrupted in the first place, nothing like this has ever happened before.

  • How do I transfer data( photos, music, docs) from MacBook Pro 2009 to MacBook Pro 2015 Retina?

    Recently purchased a MB pro retina and I want to transfer my photos, docs and music from my MB Pro 2009. Can someone please help me. I greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

    You have a few options available. You can connect the two using Firewire and transferring via Target Disk Mode. If this isn't feasible, then you can connect each to your local network and transfer your files over the network. Be sure to enable File Sharing on each via the Sharing preferences panel.
    If you cannot use Target Disk Mode, then you can transfer your data from the old computer to an external USB drive. When finished connect the drive to the new computer and restore the data to the appropriate, respective locations. This is more reliable and faster than using your network.
    TDM will require you to purchase a Firewire adaptor for the new computer's Thunderbolt port.

  • Lightroom won't open - I get an error message....is open in another application.....It isn't and I can't progress from there. It allows me to open a different catalogue such as April 2015 but that has only 2 photo's in it ? Any suggestions ?

    Can anyone help ?

    1. Open Windows Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac).
    2. Open the folder that contains your Lightroom catalog.
    3. In that folder, look for a file with the .lock extension. If your catalog is named Lightroom 5 catalog.lrcat then the file will be     named Lightroom 5 catalog.lock.
    4. If you find such a file, highlight the file and delete it. You do that by pressing the delete key.
    5. Close Windows Explorer or Finder.
    6. Start Lightroom as you normally would.
    In case you don't know where your catalog is located, if you are using Windows it will be located in Pictures\Lightroom. I'm not sure what the path is for the Mac.

  • I deleted my videos and photos by mistake, how can I get them back? I back up my phone on 2 Jan 2015

    Trying to restore back up and it's asking for PASSWORD TO UNLOCK YOUR PHONE BACKUP? Anyone can help please

    This means you chose to password protect/encrypt your iPhone's backup. The password must be manually entered twice for confirmation. If you don't remember the password for your iPhone backup, you can't use it.

  • How can I edit the same photo in multiple LR catalogs?

    Hi Forumworld,
    I would like to edit the same photo in multiple LR catalogs. Before you say "don't", there are many reasons why I'd like to do this. I am a working professional photographer and LR is one of the many tools in my workflow. I essentially want to organize my catalogs according to two different principles: once by year and once by theme. As in, a catalog each for 2014, 2015, 2016. But also one where I can group all of my wedding photos, for instance. I have several reasons for not throwing all of them together into one catalog.
    I know that LR is essentially non-destructive, making this an uphill battle. But: if I do something like set all LR catalogs involved to Automatically Write Changes into XMP, should that a) be visible by any catalog and b) sync properly? As in: once the photo is imported to both Catalog A to Catalog B, can I edit it in A and see those changes - including developing, but also flagging etc. - in B? And vice-versa?
    Thanks for your help,
    Adam

    Hi All,
    thanks for the various answers. I've considered most of what was written already, but the gem in all this that I was looking for was from John's answer:
         You will also lose some of your work (xmp doesn't record flags, stacking, virtual copies, history steps...). So for one thing you specifically mentioned, flagging, you can't sync it across multiple collections
    This is consistent with what I've experienced - I wanted to find out if there was a way to not loose some of my work. The goal was to find a way that everything would sync automatically & properly so that I would always access the identical image from various catalogs. This is what I thought XMP would do - but I experienced that it didn't and now I understand that it won't do it properly, regardless of the settings. Flags were exactly the piece of information I was missing when I tried this.
    I am surprised that everyone is telling me to use one Catalog. I am sorry but I don't believe that it will scale - because that is not what I have experienced. When my LR4 catalog got to about 50,000 images, it slowed down dramatically.  Has something big changed in LR5? I have read many threads about this, most seem to say that already in LR4 it shouldn't have slowed down, but it did. No, my hard drive wasn't full. I just shoot a lot, mostly with a D800.
    Thanks,
    Adam
