Problems Migrating from iPhoto 6 to 11

I'm moving from an older Macbook Pro to a brand new one, and used Migration Assistant to help get everything moved over.
iPhoto 11 on the new machine found most of my photos but there were some anomalies. I'm wondering if anybody can shed any light on these issues:
It seems that in iPhoto 11, you can't assign a date to a Film Roll. The date of the roll is the date of the first picture in the roll. In iPhoto 6 a roll has its own date -- the date of the import. And rolls are sorted by the import date. So my rolls are displaying out of order. Is that true? And if so, is there anything I can do about it?
Some pictures come in saying "this photo was edited in an older version of iPhoto and can't be edited until you duplicate it" (or words to that effect). Thumbnails on these images are munged, and the pictures needed to be rotated. And as far as I can tell, the pictures weren't edited. So I'm thinking of re-importing them. Does that make sense? Anything else I should do?
Some Albums didn't come over at all. Is there any way I can manually import them?
I still have access to the original iPhoto library, so I can try importing again, or perform maintanence before importing if that's appropriate.
Many thanks to anybody for any suggestions!
Steve

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
1 - No -- the "event" dates (rolls no longer exist) are a reflection of the dates of he photos in the event - not a setting
2 - not sure
3 - see above

Missing photos after migration from iPhoto to Photos

Last week I upgraded my desktop MacPro from OS 10.9.latest to OS 10.10.3. When I first opened Photos, it did the migration from iPhotos without apparent problem. But I have noticed that many (hundreds at least) of the photos from my pre-migration iPhoto library are now not in Photos. I mounted my pre-upgrade backup drive on a laptop running OS 10.9.latest, and can find specific missing photos OK on the backup. But if I search the main drive on my desktop Mac, for example for "P1440608", I get no results. I have tried rebuilding the Photos library with no change - the missing photos are still missing.
One option is to erase my MacPro main drive and restore from the backup drive to OS 10.9.latest. This should put me back to where I was. Is there a viable alternative? Please note that my iPhoto version was 8.1.2. It will not open in OS 10.10.3, and the App Store will not let me upgrade to the most recent version. I do have Time Machine plus external bootable (SuperDuper) backup of the desktop MacPro, plus that laptop running OS 10.9.latest as resources available.

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - 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 to add photos taken in iOS 8 to albums migrated from iPhoto

Does anyone know how to add photos taken in iOS 8 to albums migrated from iPhoto, or do I have to set up another set of albums?

Albums that you synced from a computer can't be amended in the Photos app, the only way to add (or remove) photos to those albums is to do it on your Mac and resync.

Migrating from iPhoto 08 (v7.1.5) to iPhoto 11 (v9.3)

Greetings iPhoto gurus,
I currently run iPhoto 08 (v7.1.5) and I have an extensive library of pictures, albums and slideshows. I'm considering upgrading to iPhoto 11, but will only do so if it will retain and migrate all my current stuff. In the process of upgrading, will the resulting iPhoto 11 library contain all the slideshows, albums and metadata (particularly the Description field which I have made extensive use of and do not fancy retyping for several hundred piccies) be migrated?
I also have the latest version of Aperture (v3.3) which I have only just started to use. What prompted this query is that I now see that Aperture v3.3. and iPhoto 11 v9.3 can share the same libraries without exporting/importing, which is obviously appealling to me.
My ultimate nirvana is being able to merge the migrated iPhoto 11 library with my current Aperture library so that I can have one database with all my legacy pictures, slideshows and metadata alongside the new stuff that I have been populating since procuring Aperture.
Can anyone advise on:
1) Will migrating from iPhoto 08 to iPhoto 11, as described above, work?
2) Will I be able to merge the resulting iPhoto 11 library with the Aperture 3.3 library?
Many thanks in anticipation.
Simon.

Thanks - time machine already up and running. I will also duplicate library and copy that to external drive.
I tested the process of migration on my Macbook (where I have just a few test pictures - my main library is on my iMac). It all seemed to migrate fine. I then merged library with Aperture and everything seemed to transfer across - including Descriptions nicely migrating to Caption metadata. Quite impressed.
I am able to switch between iPhoto and Aperture library with ease in both applications. Nice!
Will try it for real later in the week and report back success or issues for the benefit of any other user who is contemplating the same thing.
Cheers all,
Simon.

Problem migrating from JSF Mojarra 1.2 to 2.0

As my subject suggests, I am having a problem migrating from JSF 1.2 to JSF 2.0.
As a first step, all that I had done was to replace both 'jsf-api.jar' and 'jsf-impl.jar' with the newer version 2.0 and restart my server.

Don't you have some JSF 1.2 libraries around somewhere else in classpath? Appserver/lib? JDK/lib? Etc. You might have a mix of JSF 1.2 and JSF 2.0 in the classpath and the exception is just been caused by this collision.

Problems migrating from edir 8.7.3 to 8.8

Hi,
I need to do a hardware replace for a Netware 6.5 sp 8 server. This
server has edir 8.7.3.10. I loaded a new Proliant server with NW6.5 sp
8 to migrate to. The new server has edir 8.8 on it. The Migration
Wizzard guide says there can be problems migrating from NW6.5 from an
edir 8.7 to 8.8.
I tried to install the new server using the [INST: spedir] option
specifie in this article
(http://www.novell.com/communities/no...edirectory-873)
but the server keeps crashing.
Can I mirgate my old server edir 8.7.3 to the new one 8.8 using the
Migration Wizzard? If not is there any other way to force an install
of edir 8.7.3?
thanks

You could upgrade your eDir on the "original" server to 8.8
I've done that before without any problems.
(obviously this doesn't guarantee it will go right/well). Always have a complete backup of the .dib set (I use the dsrepair -rc on NetWare) as well as a "snapshot" of teh NetWare server if possible (ours is on the SAN, so I can clone the system disk before I do anything to it).

Migration from iphoto 5 to iphoto 9, many problems

Hello!
Sorry for my english!
I just buyed a new mac, the marvellous 13,3 pro.
I have many problems with the migration, between iphoto 9 and iphoto 5.
On the old PB there was a library created with iphoto 5 until june '09. Before these there was another one created whith iphoto 6. Cause an Hard disk crash i was using the original iphoto 5.
After the migration, iphoto 9 shows these strange problems:
- use the old library, (the one created with the 6)with photos and albums before the hd crash;
- shows only miniature (thumbs) of many photos, without showing the large file (but it's present in folder, in the library of the finder!)
- shows only the albums of the iphoto 6 library
I try to re-import the photos from the july 08, but the MB answers "They're already in the library!"
How can i see the photo from july 08 until now?
And how i can transfer last albums ( 2009) from the PB to the MB?
I try to create a DVD with the PB and i make a reimport from the DVD, but after the reimport i still can't see new photos and albums.
thanks to all.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
How did you get the old Libraries to the new Machine? DId you import them to iPhoto or simply open them with iPhoto?
IF you *did not* import them:
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 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.

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.

How do I continue a migration from iPhoto to Photos that was interrupted part way through?

I began a VERY large migration (40k+ photos) from iPhoto (v9.6.1) to Photos on an external hard drive. I have a MacBook Pro with Yosemite 10.10.3 that is connected to a network that has a Synology network drive. The iPhoto library is on that drive and I was wanting to create the Photos library also on the drive.
The process was very slow and has taken days, but that is expected and it was definitely making progress (I could see the files being added over time). Unfortunately, the transfer was interrupted part way through (my kid closed my laptop, which disconnected it from the network). I tried to start it over with the partially created Photos library folder as the destination, hoping that it would pick up where it left off. It worked until it reached the same files that were previously created. The migration stopped at that point, and the following error appeared: "Photos was unable to make a copy of your library before preparing it. There were file system or hardware issues…” I assume the inability to overwrite previous files with the same names was the case of the "file system or hardware issues."
Is there any way to either continue the migration from where I left off, or maybe even manually move the rest of the files over? Or do I have to wipe out the entire partially migrated Photos library and start over?

You probably will have to start over
And I suspect that you are incorrect - as far as I know NO NAS is formatted Mac OS extended - A NAS is basically a Linux computer with no display or keyboard that uses a Linux format drive - a headless computer
Unless you have a directly connected drive correctly formatted you are cgoing to continue to have issues - your photos and your choice what risk you put them at but you are treading in very dangerous water with you set up - is it documented not to work and similar set ups have been reported here hundreds of times as causing major problems and losing lots of stuff

Migrating from iPhoto 5 to iPhoto '11

I have experienced many problems moving from an iMac G5 PowerPC to a new iMac Intel, particularly in relation to iPhoto where I was using iPhoto 5 (Vn 5.0.4) on my old machine and iPhoto 11 (Vn9.1.1) on the new.
Having decided against using Migration Assistant I tried several of the workarounds on various message boards. However whilst I was able to import my 26,000 images into my new Mac, all titling (i.e. names) on them disappeared in the transfer.
I found a way around the problem. My suggestion is to EXPORT each of the album folders in turn from iPhoto 5 to an external hard drive (EHD) on which you have created a new folder with the same name as the album you are exporting. So if your iPhoto album is called "Greek Holiday" create a folder with that same name on your EHD. Then in iPhoto 5 go to Share > Export Photos. In the window that comes up, keep Format as Original, check Full Size Images and Use Title and also check Use Extension. (Ensure that every image has a title i.e. the 'name' section in info is not blank, before you start or this won't work!) Click Export and choose the newly created folder on the external hard drive.
Once that is done, step two is to disconnect the external hard drive from the old iMac and connect it to the new one. Open iPhoto in the new machine and go to File > Import To Library. Select the appropriate file on the external hard drive and iPhoto imports the images and, more importantly, their titles!
It is a slow process and may take a few hours but far better than renaming 26,000 images! Note that neither 'star rating' data nor original camera file name (e.g. image XXX) is transferred this way but everything else is including camera data.
I also had problems moving my music from iTunes 7 to the newer iTunes 10. First time I moved all the relevant files from the old machine to the new one, I discovered that my album sleeve images didn't come with them. The simple answer to this is to open the old iTunes and go to > Advanced > Consolidate Library before transferring all the relevant files to the new machine, ideally via an external hard drive.
Having been a Mac user for over twenty five years (though still not a 'Techie"!) I feel the the company has not managed the move from older Power PC machines to Intel machines as well as it might have done. Migration Assistant usually brings across lots of files which just won't work with the Intel processor and indeed which may even hinder its operation, as my wife discovered when I used it on hers. Far better to have a clean install!

Thanks - time machine already up and running. I will also duplicate library and copy that to external drive.
I tested the process of migration on my Macbook (where I have just a few test pictures - my main library is on my iMac). It all seemed to migrate fine. I then merged library with Aperture and everything seemed to transfer across - including Descriptions nicely migrating to Caption metadata. Quite impressed.
I am able to switch between iPhoto and Aperture library with ease in both applications. Nice!
Will try it for real later in the week and report back success or issues for the benefit of any other user who is contemplating the same thing.

Graceful way to migrate from iPhoto to Aperture -- w/o losing metadata?

Does anyone have advice on migrating an iPhoto library into Aperture without losing some critical metadata? I'm specifically concerned about two things:
1. "Original" and "Modified" versions: I shoot RAW but put quite a bit of work into post-processing photos (e.g., white balance correction, cropping, etc.) It's very important to me that I don't lose the connection between original and modified versions of files. Additionally, when I browse an event, I would like to be able to see the "modified" version of files that I have edited and "original" version of files that I have not -- just like in iPhoto. My efforts to date have resulted in either A) losing original versions of all modified photos or B) creating an Aperture project with duplicate original and modified copies of each iPhoto photo.
2. "Hidden" photos. The "hide/unhide" feature is the best tool iPhoto provides for sorting "good" pictures from "bad" in a shot, so I have used it extensively. I would like to not lose this information when migrating to Aperture (even if it takes a different form -- maybe "reject"?), and it would certainly be nice to be able to optionally either browse all photos in a shot or only those that were not hidden when in iPhoto.
Is there any hope?
(Context: I've been using iPhoto for years, but I really like Aperture's interface and photo tuning/editing options. I've considered migrating a number of times and have always turned back because of how much information I'd lose in the migration. Has anyone managed to crack the code... or has Apple finally made this transition doable?)

I do have a related question and problems. Any input would be greatly appreciated
I am in the process of migrating my iPhoto pictures over to Aperture. Because I have close to 100k pictures and short clips, I can not import my entire 500 GB library at once because I don't have enough hard drive space to support both iPhoto and Aperture libraries at the same time. I also thought it might make sense to not have one gigantic library. Also I would like to have my old photos separated by years, and I don't know if Aperture would do this if I imported the entire iPhoto library (which does only separate them by events) at once. So it appears to me that the only import method that would work (please correct me if this is wrong) would be to open the "Masters" directory of iPhoto in the Finder, and drag and drop each year's directory into the "Projects/Library" panel in Aperture. Note that I do not want any editing information preserved from iPhoto, so using the Masters seems to be the most space efficient thing. So far so good but there appear to be at least two big snags. Firstly the yellow projects folders within each blue years folder in Aperture are not in chronological but in alphabetical order and I can't find out how to fix this. Secondly (and much more problematically) the dates on many old photos have been altered in an apparent random manner during the import into Aperture! Therefore they do appear in the wrong locations in my events library, according to the altered date. There are many too many photos that have been changed to undo this manually (I estimate it would take several weeks to do this).
But how and why could this have happened in the first place?
I also noticed that even when I change the dates of the Aperture masters to the true ones (by comparing to the masters in iPhoto), they still remain in the same wrong location in my Projects/Events library, according to the date originally (and falsely) assigned by Aperture.
There surely has to be a way to import photos into Aperture without ruining their date stamp?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Migration from iPhoto '08 to Photos

Hi,
2 main questions:
migration from iPoto '08 to Photos
preservation of printed media
Information:
Hardware: MacBook Pro (Fall 2008, Early 2009) 15-inch with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor a and 2GB memory
OS: Mac OSX Leopard (v 10.5.8)
Currently I am still using my outdated MacBook Pro with Leopard running on it. Since I have troubles with ordering Printed Apple Photobooks out of iPhoto. It is not supported anylonger. And since I have no new updates and new software, I decided to upgrade. Both hardware and sotware.
I decided to upgrade to the latest OS (Yosemite) which should be supported by Apple.
So I ordered a new SSD to replace the hard disk and 8GB to replace my memory. With these new pieces it should run Yosemite easily.
I also orderded a license and DVD for Snow Leopard. I will install Snow Leopard on my SSD, to have a clean install. Then I will update to the latest possible version of Snow Leopard via Software Update. Afterwards I will upgrade to Yosemite via the Mac Store.
So I know how to handle the OS upgrade. But what about my iPhoto migration...
This is quite some old version: iPhoto '08 (v7.x). Offcourse I will backup my complete iPhoto Libarary before doing anything.
But should I only import my '08 Library when I have Yosemite running (I believe iPhoto '11 is included)? And then
Or will this not work? Do I need to import my '08 Library with an extra first step: import it in iPhoto when I have Snow Leopard running, then in iPhoto in Yosemite, and then in Photos in Yosemite?
And what about my Printed Photobooks I already created. Will they still be present in Photos? I spend a lot (and I mean a lot) of time creating some photobooks in iPhoto '08. I do not want to loose them in Photos. I want to order them at Apple, but iPhoto '08 won't let me. I can not find a minimum version of iPhoto required by Apple to order printed products. Perhaps I can still order with iPhoto '11?
Thanks in advance,
Sander Fiers

To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network, Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

Migration from iPhoto to Aperture

Hello,
I just moved from iPhoto to Aperture. I did the migration described here : http://www.apple.com/aperture/iphoto-to-aperture/how.html but it failed at the last step.
I choosed “Consolidate Masters for Library” and I get this error message (sorry it's in French).
Are you able to help me ?
Thanks,
Wistiti

It appears that the error you are getting is telling you that the selection does not have any referenced masters. This can only mean that when you imported your iPhoto library into Aperture you choose to move or copy the masters into aperture.
As a test go to the Library tab of the Inspector, select the Photos icon near the top of the list. Go to the right hand side of the window. Click the dark magnifying glass:
Select the Add Rule pulldown and add File Status to the filter. Select Managed this will show you all the images in the library that are managed. You can also select Referenced to see all the images that are referenced.
If the files are already managed you don't need to do anything else.

Missing folders, albums and images when Migrating from iPhoto to Aperture

I have 3,333 image in iPhoto (v.7.1.3). I'd like to import the entire library into Aperture (v.2.1) and use that primarily to edit and organize the images from here on out. Problem is, when I try to import the iPhoto library from Aperture, it only imports half of the images (1,553 images). I tried deleting the Aperture library and re-importing everything but had the same result. Any suggestions would be appreciated -- I'm eager to get started in Aperture after years of iPhoto.

Hope we get an answer - I'm in the same situation as you, though I just went from iPhoto to A2.x on an older G5 tower. I've been debating whether to take the time to go through them, reorganize "better" than they were under iPhoto or wait for a more elegant solution...
