Pictures from an iphoto album are not in iphoto library HELP

I have photos in an album on my iphoto but they are not actually in the library?? how does this make sense!? so when i come to delete them i dont know if they're deleted or not.
also another topic is that to delete a picture in i phioto i have to delete it from the library dont i as if i delete it form an album it just deletes it from the album??
sprry probably very dumb questions but im just trying to figure it all out.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
If the photos are in an Album, then they are in an Event, somwhere.
One way to find them might be to flag them, which will help them stand out a little as you search.
Yes, to remove a pic from iPhoto it needs to be removed from the Library view - either Events or Photos.

  • I'm trying to transfer my pictures from my iPhoto library to my external hard drive. I dragged the iPhoto Library folder into the drive and after waiting a while it says Error Code -36. I need to free up space asap, what should i do?

    I'm trying to transfer my pictures from my iPhoto library to my external hard drive. I dragged the iPhoto Library folder into the drive and after waiting a while it says "Error Code -36 The finder cannot complete the operation because some data in 'iPhoto Library' could not be read or written". I need to free up space asap, what should i do??

    Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
    In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

  • Pictures from my iphoto library can't be exported to word

    I am trying to import a picture from my iphoto library into Microsoft Word and it will not work. When I attempt the transfer it says: This application cannot open this file. This file is an unsupported graphic format or may be damaged. Try opening the graphic in another application.
    When I try to import photos that have been downloaded to my computer through a source other than my digital camera, it works.
    Also, after working with a recently imported roll of pictures from my digital camera, the program iphoto unexpectedly quit. Could it be that my camera is causing these problems?
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   i am using iphoto 4

    Your subject line says you can't export to Word, and your post says you cannot import into Word -- these are diametrically opposite problems. You have apparently described the distinction between a successful import and one that fails. If you are able to import photos from the desktop, then export your iPhoto images to the desktop, before you import the images to Word from the desktop.

  • How do you choose a picture from your iPhoto library for a contact in Address Book ?

    Hello,
    I have contacts on my Address Book application for which I would like to set a picture from my iPhoto library.
    However, when double-clicking the picture square and select Choose..., I cannot access any pictures from my library. I can't even double click the library to show package content.
    I would really dislke having to drag each picture on my desktop and I believe there is a way to easily access the iPhoto library for this. I just couldn't find the solution.
    Thanks in advance,
    Julian

    I did it like this: First, you should have assigned names to Faces in iPhoto - these names should match the respective ones you use in addressbook (like John Smith each time, not John Smith in iPhoto and Johnny S. in Addressbook). Then, in Addressbook, double-click the square for the photo as you did, but then do not click on Choose but rather on the small Faces icon on the bottom of the popup window. Addressbook should now provide you with all the "faces" iPhoto has for this name.

  • All of my pictures from my iPhoto library are gone after upgrading to Mavericks

    I just upgraded to Os X Mavericks and now all of my pictures are gone from my iPhoto library, and of course I am unable to access this version of iPhoto on OS X Mavericks.
    I tried to find them using a different application or in Finder, and in both cases "iPhoto Library" is in Gray and no contents are available. My system memory doesn't seem to be reflecting the number of photos I have either.
    If I go back to my old operating system will it work? If not, I have lost all my pictures since February of 2011. I have been crying nonstop for an hour trying to figure out what to do.

    Open the App Store and upgrade iPhoto to the Mavericks version. Installing OS X does not do anything to your iPhoto Library.
    The iWork apps are free with a new iOS device since 1 SEP 2013. They are free with a new Mac since 1 OCT 2013. They are also free with the upgrade to OS X Mavericks 10.9 if you had the previous version installed when you upgraded.

  • Moving pictures from one iphoto library to another

    Hello all, I have a simple question.
    I have all of my pictures on one computer in an iphoto library. I have a new imac (it's quite lovely) and I would like to move all my pictures to that mac. Which folders do I need to copy and move to my new computer? I would like to keep albums, etcetera.
    Normally I would just transfer all my stuff from one mac to the other and voila, it's done, but I have done that so many times that there is a problem with my User info and it has followed me from several computers now, so I am starting fresh. I would like to keep my pictures however. Which also leads me to my next question. Could someone suggest a good way to archive my 40 some-odd gigs of pictures?
    thanks in advance.

    Re: Copying the Library - Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions in the Library.
    Re: Archiving: There is no permanent storage solution for digital material. Yes DVDs do offer longevity but even the most expensive are prone to problems eventually. The cheaper ones sooner! To my mind the best option is to have a variety of solutions, on- and off-site. Optical media, Hard Disks, Online Storage solutions should all be used - and more importantly - checked regularly.

  • How do you transfer pictures from old iphoto library to a new one?

    So my iphoto wasn't working, did the whole delete the plist and make a new library pressing "alt". But now i want to know how i can transfer all my photos into the new library, or some how fix the old library (because i really don't wanna move everything into a new library).
    please someone help me,

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your 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.

  • Copying pictures from one iPhoto library to another

    I would like to set up a new iPhoto library and copy some of my pictures in the main library to the new one.
    Got the new library set up, and know how switch from one library to another ... so far so good. But I can't seem to bring pictures from my existing iPhoto library across to the new one.

    Drag them to a folder in the Finder, switch libraries, and drag the folder into the open iPhoto window, or use the iPhoto Library Manager.

  • How do i get picture from my iphone that are not in my camera roll to my computer??? pleasee help been fiddling for 4 hours!!!

    i have been trying to get photo from my phone onto my new computer because i lost everything. i have got all the photos from my camera roll onto it but i can get the one that i put on there from my old computer. i did try download iexplorer but you have to pay for it in dollars im in the UK. i have noticed to that if i edit  few they go into the camera roll after but then how do i delete the orignals. please someone help its really frustrating me!!!!!

    The photo sync is one way - computer to iphone.  As the photos came from your computer in the first place, then they should still be there and should have been included in your regular backup copy of your computer.
    You can e-mail them to yourself.  they will not be of the original quality.
    The iphone is not a storage/backup device. It simply mirrors the selected content of your computer/cloud service.

  • Restoring iPhoto from Time Machine. However iPhoto albums are not transfer

    iPhoto albums are not transferring. I just have a bunch of photos with no albums/details/comments etc. I have done a few searches in support and have found similar problems but nothing like mine, which seems to be that I have a back up of all my photos in Time Machine but when I open Time Machine, I cannot simply select a previous restore date as I have been able to with everything else so far. I have tried dragging the whole iPhoto Library folder to iPhoto but again, end up with thousands of pictures with no albums... Any suggestions? Thanks.
    It seems iPhoto is backed up but does not have several backups in Time Machine.
    Using iPhoto '06

    I think you may need to post this one on the Time Machine forum.
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1227
    In later versions you can restore +to the iPhoto Library+, but as v6 predates Time Machine it's not possible to do that. Hence you need to restore an entire Library and open it.

  • I am not able to transfer pictures from my Iphoto file to my external hard drive.  When I drag and drop to the external hard drive, I get the universal circle with a line through it.????

    For some reason, my computer will not let me drop my pictures from the Iphoto location to my external hard drive. 

    The drive is formatted for Windows. To write to it from a Mac, you will either have to reformat it or install third-party software to enable writing to an NTFS volume (not recommended.)

  • Is there a way to retrieve pictures deleted from photo stream that are not yet on camera roll?

    Is there any way to retrieve pictures deleted from photo stream that are not yet on camera roll? I used my iPhone for a camera and put pix on iPad through photo stream. But I didn't realize they were not on the iPad camera roll, and deleted them from the phone Photostream. Now they are gone. Any chance to find them in the cloud?

    No, there is no re-cycling bin on the iPad. If you deleted them from the card, and you havn't yet re-used the card, then there may be recovery software that you can get for your computer that might be able to get them back.
