Rebuilding iPhoto Libraries

Hello,
I have three questions about rebuilding iPhoto libraries.
First, is it better to use iPhoto's built in rebuild (with all boxes checked) or use iPhoto Library Manager's rebuild?
Second, I have several libraries in iPhoto 8.1.2 that I plan to import into Aperture 3.  Although they all seem OK, should I rebuild them before doing the Aperture import?
Finally, is it advisable to upgrade these libraries to the latest version of iPhoto before importing?
Thanks for your input.
Mike

First, is it better to use iPhoto's built in rebuild (with all boxes checked) or use iPhoto Library Manager's rebuild?
Depends entirely on the problem you re trying to solve. Iphoto's own tools involve working on the existing database. Library Manger creates a whole new Library and copies a lot of the material over - but not all. Running iPhoto's own tools with all the options checked makes no sense. Why try and rebuild the main DB file if you then ask it to replace it with the automatic back up?
Second, I have several libraries in iPhoto 8.1.2 that I plan to import into Aperture 3.  Although they all seem OK, should I rebuild them before doing the Aperture import?
Why would you? These are steps to take if you have a problem only. So I would import them to Aperture. If all goes well then no problem. If there is an issue a Rebuild may be in order at that point.
Finally, is it advisable to upgrade these libraries to the latest version of iPhoto before importing?
I can see no reason to.

  • Multiple iPhoto libraries on my ext hard drive back up

    Hi I have a problem with multiple iPhoto libraries on my ext hard drive back up  They are different sizes and large 120gb  Is there any way I can rationalise the libraries without the risk of losing data? My iPhoto library on the Mac appears to be complete but with >200gb of photos I cannot be sure.

    I upgraded to Lion OS and suffered multiple crashes necessitating a complete rebuild of the system - reformat the main hard drive and install Lion OS from a disk  In an effort to be absolutely sure I didn't lose data I have been overenthusiastic in transferring photos to the backup disk dragging and dropping files that contained images as well as a full transfer of "mymac" before reformating.  Time machine backup was not realistic as this was the one operation which caused most of the "hangs"  System now appears to be working well with Lion OS but I have masses of duplicate jpeg files in multiple folders and libraries - I am considering purchasing Duplicate Annihilator to deal with the duplicates then perhaps I should try to merge the libraries with iPhoto manager?  

  • Multiple iPhoto libraries & on MobileMe Gallery on iPad

    I have multiple iPhoto libraries on my Mac (multiple work related project libraries & personal library). I'd like to be able to view them on an iPad. Is that going to be possible? If not, I'm hoping that MobileMe galleries will sync to the iPad. Does anyone know if either of these options is possible?

  • Merge two iPhoto libraries into an Aperture library for my Macbook Air

    Hey,
    I've searched around a bit for this but can't seem to figure out how to to it.
    I'm trying to manage my ~140GB photo library on my Macbook Air which has 128GB of HDD.  On top of that, you can imagine that most of that 128GB is filled with system stuff.
    My objective is to keep most of my library offline from the Macbook Air, but still keep it all together. 
    I kinda went "all-in" with iPhoto a few years back to organize my photos so gave up on Aperture.  I'd always wanted to move to Aperture or Lighroom but the migration appeared to be a complete disaster.  Now with "transparent" compatibility it seems like a no brainer to get the best of both worlds. 
    I thought that Aperture allowed you store files on external hard drives but still have "thumbnail" access to them even when the drive wasn't connected.  Or did I misread that?  (Is that Lightroom?)
    Anyway with the new update I thought that I could merge my available iPhoto libraries into one Aperture library that I could always have access to, while offloading the actual photos somehow to an external HDD. 
    This would be a real winner for me.  It seems tho that an iPhoto library stays an iPhoto library.  So while merging might be helpful for someone with a big hard drive, it's completely useless for me as if anything, I need to split.  Or create more.  Or some other form of adding complexity.
    Any ideas here? 

    Figured this out on my own. 
    Make a backup of everything - Aperture seems to require rebuilds and stuff and stories abound of "things going a bit wrong." 
    Did you make a backup?  If you don't want to or can't, I wouldn't do this.  After all, it's your photos!
    Setup your Aperture library on a USB drive.
    Update iphoto to the newest version.  Open all your libraries in iPhoto to update them.  This may take awhile depending on library size.
    Import whatever iphoto libraries you have to Aperture.  This make take awhile (hours!) - if your stuff is more than say 25 gigs I'd recommend setting it up for overnight.
    Once everything is in Aperture - check its all working right.  Then go ahead and maybe make another backup
    Then migrate your photos out of the library.  This takes all the originals and stores them elsewhere, called "offline".  Once they're there, you can't move them around, so pick a good spot!!  This also takes forever.
    Once this is done your Aperture library should be smaller and just copy it to your MacbookAir
    I'm still working on this as it looks like something went funky and I have to rebuild my thumbnails, another overnight processing thing. Like I said, keep a backup   But I have a slimmed down Library on my Macbook Air now which is what I wanted.
    This whole thing is kinda a mess and while it's feasible Apple hasn't made it easy.  There's also some crazy stuff Aperture does with thumbnails and "previews" so that they take a bunch of space up (in my case almost as much as my photos), so you might have to work with that. 
    The guy at Apertureexpert.com is a genius. 
    Check out this post for more on slimming your Aperture Library:

    Edit:As a side-note I put some HTML in my message and it looks like it isn't used in the forum - why does Apple bother having the formatting tools if they don't work?  Kinda like the close-door button on an elevator?
    Edit2: Haha it shows up in the answer but not in the normal thread.  Strange, eh?

  • Queries related to maintaining multiple iphoto libraries

    hi, I recently came across iphoto buddy, which allows you to manage more than one iphoto library. Great tool. However I have a few queries regarding it:
    1. Is there a way to view consolidated version of 'faces' or 'places'? i.e. I now have to switch between my three libraries to view my photos or my wife's photos in the 'Faces' link.
    2. Similarly, if i have to view all my pics that i have rated as four-star (as an example), then i can view them only one library at a time.
    While i have made each iphoto library smaller and hence easy to open and light for my macbook to manage, i now dont have a single view of any thing. I have to search for things in three difference place. I shudder to think how i will manage this as i increase the number of iphoto libraries.
    I have approx. 16000 pics totalling 70 GB in size, and iphoto 11 is visibly slow in opening, editing etc hence i went for multiple libraries.

    iPhoto will work with 250,000 images.
    No, iPhoto is not opening 70 gigs of data (and how could it, with 2 or 4 gigs of RAM?). When you open iPhoto it loads the database files, not the entire library of images, all their versions, caches, thumbnails and so on and so forth.
    So, while the db file will be larger if you have 16k images than if you have 1k images, it's won't be 69 gigs bigger
    Even this will impact on opening the Library, not using it.
    Speed issues are compext to troubleshoot. How much free space on your Mac?
    Rebuilding:
    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.
    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 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. .

  • My iPhoto libraries have been made with older vs. and cannot open them with iPhoto application or Library Manager

    I have multiple iPhoto libraries made with older vs. of iPhoto.  I cannot open any now with either iPhoto or iPhoto Manager, just get a spinning icon.

    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.

  • I am trying to rebuild Iphoto but command-option doesn't give me the option

    I am trying (like everybody else) to find my Iphoto library.  Holding down the command and option keys before opening Iphoto does not bring up the dialog box to rebuild?

    download and run Find Any File to search for a file named "ThumbJPGSegment.data" which is a file common to all versions of  iPhoto libraries.
    FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages. If there's a library hiding somewhere on your hard drive FAF will find it.

  • Constantly rebuilding Iphoto 09

    Since I upgraded my computer to Iphoto 09 i've had problems opening the program. I've been advised to rebuild, which I have, but i'm constantly having to do so. I've also installed the Iphoto library manager. At this point all I get it an empty grey window when I try to open the program, followed shortly by the pinwheel that remains on my screen until I force quit the program. I really don't want to rebuild again. Please advise what other options there are and what can I do to get Iphoto to work correctly. Thank you

    I have the same problem. I have a 1TB iMAC with 800 GB free space. I use iphoto manager and have 4 iPhoto libraries.
    When I have this problem, I rebuild the library using iPhoto Manager and it works fine for a few days, but if I manipulate the photos (ie, use faces, import, etc), then the next time I try to open the library, I get a grey empty iphoto screen, no iphoto menu bar, a pinwheel, then after abou 20-30 seconds, the grey screen disappears. Iphoto never opens.
    Any ideas?

  • Can't access one of multiple iPhoto libraries...

    ... using iphoto 8.1.2, and I have multiple iPhoto libraries.  The one with the most data (24 gb) will not open in iPhoto, even though all data appears ok when I view it in folder structure format.  I just get a blank iPhoto window, a spinning ball, then I force quit.  Somehow iPhoto doesn't know where to "look" anymore. There is a package called iPhoto library which may have inadvertantly become the new default, even though the large one in question was previously the default library.  Worked fine for years, then all of a sudden stopped. Any ideas how to restructure the path?  Many thanks.

    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    Does that open it?
    If not then
    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 back.

  • How do i merge iPhoto libraries

    I have three iphoto libraries, one which just has the beach ball that continues turning...is there an easy way to merge the libraries into one and eliminate duplicate photos?

    Hmmm... an easy way.  Easy?   That's a tall request. 
    (Sorry, Luckyjenn, sometimes I just can't help myself.)
    It sounds like the first thing you want to do before you merge libraries is to determine why the beach ball has taken a liking to that particular iPhoto library. If the library has been damaged somehow, you don't want to merge it with other undamaged libraries.
    Start by making sure your data is backed up... then take a look at this... IPhoto 6 and later: Rebuilding the Iphoto Library
    If that stops the beach ball, then you might look at this thread next regarding merging libraries...
    merging libraries in iphoto?
    I hope this is helpful.

  • I had two iPhoto libraries. I erased one of them (which disappeared in the paperbasket - as planned. The otherone, however has now lost all its Keywords... Is there anything what I can do to get my keywords back????

    I had two iPhoto Libraries with different content (on an external drive). I had to erase one of the libraries, and it disappeared - as planned - in the paperbasket.
    The other (untouched) library, however has now lost all Keywords, and it needs quite awhile (the ball is spinning "for hours") to build up all events (order still like before the keyword desaster.
    What can I do to get the keywords back?
    Börries

    To be more clear: All fotos had been "imported to their foto libraries" by just standard means - no shifting no erasion etc. etc. just regular Upload in one of the two iPhoto libraries by "import".
    "Or load your backup from before this happened"
    This answer seems to be pretty close to a solution - but, I need help in a step-by-step-way:
    My library is located on an external LaCie hard drive - which is to the best of my knowledge not covered by Time Machine. With other words: Time Maschine is not useful here. Is there another backup procedure (possibly from within iPhoto) which I could use to rebuild the keywords from an earlier backup. That would solve 99% of my problems and is fine.
    Sorry for being so helpless, but it seems to me as if you had come quite close to a solution....
    Best,

  • Have THREE iPhoto Libraries...How can I combine them? Plus most ALIASES!

    I have read some of the forum topics that I hope can help me. I have iPhoto 2 and when I messed up my iBook OS 10.2.8, I lost the iPhoto ( about 2K pictures :-()
    Now i have the 'puter back but still missing the iPhoto. I have found Three(3) iPhoto Libraries with "Find"...all are just labeled "iPhoto Library".NONE have numbers after the iPhoto Library...each has a different amount of "items" listed as being in the folder. 156 items, 126 items, and 30 items . ALL have photos NOT in the other Library folders.
    All three have different pathways:
    156 items:(user name)/Desktop 2/iPhoto folder-12/07**/iPhoto Library;
    127 items:(user name)/Desttop 2/iPoto folder1/26/08**all alias/ iPhoto Library;
    30 items: (user name)/Pictures 2/iPhoto 2/iPhoto Library.
    My question is:
    1. Is there a simple way to combine these so I have ONE iPhoto Library with ALL the photos in it???
    2. Most, not all, of the photos are "Aliases" but I can see the photos in "Preview"..but can't move them into an iPhoto blank folder.
    I gather I need to solve the "Alias" problem FIRST? right?I need to match the "Aliases" with their originals...
    Then hopefully move photos into the largest iPhoto Library with the 156 items in it. Is there a simple way to do this???

    OK...so I now have the MAJOR iPhoto Lib. I thought I'd lost (thanks to all your help steerin' me in the right direction).:-)
    I want to get the photos FROM the other two smaller Libraries and switch them to the BIG Lib. I now have....Is there a KB that will tell me how to do that...without having to move the BIG Library I have retrieved???
    Like, can I move the smaller Lib.s to the desktop and take out the photos by dragging them into the BIG iPhoto Lib.?...as there are many duplicates in the two smaller Lib.s that I don't need to add to the BIG iPhoto Library.
    The iPhoto Help " Switching between photo libraries"sez
    "1. Quit iPhoto;
    2. Rename your current Photo Library folder in the Finder or move it to a new location on your HD.;
    3 Open iPhoto;
    4 Click Find Library;
    5.Choose the library you want to display.;
    6. Click open.
    The library appears in the iPhoto viewing area."
    I DO NOT want to switch between lib.s, I want to MOVE photos FROM the smaller lib.s to the BIG iPhoto Library, so I will have only ONE iPhoto Lib. to deal with.Consolidation NOT switching....
    Am I making sense here?????

  • Multiple iPhoto Libraries

    I have over 25,000 photos and use several iPhoto libraries to manage and organize them. One library lives on my Powerbook 17" hard drive and the others are on external FW800 drives.
    Because I take so many photos away from home, I usually import photos to my Powerbook library temporarily, then transfer them to one of the libraries I have on the external HDs in my studio and delete them from the PB.
    One library consists only of photos I have taken for a client, another contains family photos, a third one is abstract and artistic photos, a fourth is all antique cars, a fifth all nudes, etc...
    I would like to be able to include some photo albums from each library on my 60G iPod Color. Is there a way to do this without combining all of my photos into the same library?
    I guess what I am asking is: is it possible to get photos from multiple libraries on the same iPod at the same time? if so, how?
    If not, is there a way for me to create an iPhoto library that consists of photo aliases (I don't want to import duplicates of the photos to include on the iPod) and then use that library to sync with the iPod?
