Removed photo's still in the Modified and Originals folders

I removed all pictures from my Library (iPhoto '08). There still remains more than 1 GB of space. I see a lot of photo's I removed in the "Modified" and "Originals" folders. Can I remove them without destroying the Library? (I need the library because of the keywords etc.) Or is there another solution to make the Library minimal again?

Have you empied the iPhoto trash - iPhoto menu ==> empty trash?
When I duplicate the library and remove from both libraries the part I need in the other library, you don't get all free space, the removal of pictures would suggest. So the two Libraries together use much more space than the original library.
This is a different question that you originally ask
TO split a library I would recommend using iPhoto library manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/
It will move photos and keep their attibutes - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/Help/preserving%20photo%20attributes.html

  • Modified and Originals folders in iPhoto

    As I understand it, once a picture is in iphoto, if it has to be rotated, which iPhoto does automatically, the rotated picture is stored in the Modified folder. The 'unrotated' picture is in the Originals folder. How do I go about erasing all the ones in the Originals folder without having to go in one by one, because it is taking up approximately 3.8 GB of space?

    flaquitonice:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I'd be very careful using iPhoto Diet. Just tried the remove unrotated originals option and it did what it said. It copied the rotated files into the originals folder replacing the unrotated versions. But the roll was removed from the library. I did a rebuild of the library selecting all of the options. That did not bring those files back into the library.
    Here's how I would do that. But, be sure to make a backup copy of the iPhoto Library folder beforehand. If you have a number of regular edited modified files in the library you'll have to be able to separate them from the auto-rotated modified files. One way would be to do a global Revert to Original in the library and then wait a minute. The auto-rotated files will get recreated. Then try the following:
    1 - copy the Modified folder to the Desktop
    2 - open the Originals folder in the Finder
    3 - move the contents of each Modified subfolder into the corresponding subfolder in the Originals folder, replacing the files.
    4 - launch iPhoto and do another global Revert to Original.
    This process places the modified version in both the Originals and Modified folders. The revert to original then removes the copy in the Modified folder leaving the copy in the Originals folder (which also is the modified copy).
    iPhoto Diet went as far as Step 3 but removed the folder containing my test files entirely. So I don't recommend you using it for this purpose.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Suddenly all my albums in Photos are blank.  The photos are still in the camera roll but not in the albums.  What happened and how do I recover them all?  Are they in my icloud?  Also the photos are clear as thumprints but when I touch it to zoom are blur

    Suddenly all my albums in Photos are blank.  The photos are still in the camera roll but not in the albums.  What happened and how do I recover them all?  Are they in my icloud?  Also the photos are clear as thumprints but when I touch it to zoom are blurry.  what gives?  They were all completely clear and in the albums when I last used my ipad??  Would doing the "Reset" under General settings do that?  When I returned from Europe I reset my ipad to get it in the right time zone etc. 

    Reboot.   Press and hold the home and sleep buttons until the apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider.

  • I have an iphone 4. I disconnected it from my iTunes account but I am still using the iphone and the Apple ID. If I make a purchase will it work? Also, how can I reconnect my iphone to my Apple ID?

    I have an iphone 4.
    I disconnected it from my iTunes account but I am still using the iphone and the Apple ID.
    If I make a purchase will it work?
    Also, how can I reconnect my iphone to my Apple ID?

    Do you mean that you removed the phone from the 'manage devices' section of your iTunes account ? If you do then that won't stop you being able to purchase items on your phone - you only need to be logged into an account to be able to purchase with it.
    If you do mean the 'manage devices' section then you can associate, or re-associate, a device (or computer) by using iTunes Match, or automatic downloads, or redownloading past purchases on it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

  • How do I drag an image or text box to the "workspace" off of my working file but where I can still see the image and text box for future use?

    How do I drag an image or text box to the "workspace" off of my working file but where I can still see the image and text box for future use?
    When I drag the item off of the trifold that I am creating, it just disappears but I still want to use it.  I just need to move it out of the way to modify other portions of the document.
    thanks,

  • HT5446 if i order a new imac with 1tb flash is that pcie based to where i could add a 3.5 ssd and does it still have the bracket and sata cable to add one in it

    Be advices that the newest iMac's are basically SEALED Units and taking it apart in any way, other than removing the Memory slot cover to add more RAM (That is on the 27" model. The 21.5" is completely sealed), will void the warranty on it.
    Not only that but the screen is Glued to the aluminum casing and if you do pry it off with damaging it you'll need new adhesive strips to remount it.
    Not worth the efford or the cost when you can buy mat any other brand computer for less money and do all the upgrading you would ever want without ever voiding the warranty or breaking something in the process.

  • HT204406 I purchased the additional Icloud storage for my ipod touch.  Since it removes all my music from the touch and stores it in Icloud, I find that when I am not at my wifi location or another one,I can't access my music.Is there a solution for that?

    I purchasedhe additional Icloud storage for my ipod touch.  That removes all my music from the ipod and putsd it in Icloud.  I find that when I am away from my wifi connection, like when walking or working out, I can't access my music. Is there a solution for this?

    Download the music to your ipod when you are in a wi-fi area.
    It will be stored on your ipod.

  • When you delete an app from your homescreen it is still in the cloud, does that mean you still have the app, and how do you get it back on to the home screen

    When you delete an app from your homescreen it is still in the cloud, does that mean you still have the app, and how do you get it back on to the home screen. new to ipad so do not know much. Anybody know.p

    As long as the app remains in the store then you can re-download it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app, or via the Purchased Link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    Similarly ibooks can be re-downloaded, and depending upon what country that you are in then music, films and tv shows may also be re-downloadable (if they remain available in the store).

  • Is it possible to remove my hard drive from the Macbook and install it in a new Macbook Pro?

    I currently have a 2009 Macbook and am wanting to upgrade to a new Macbook Pro.  I have upgraded my hard drive in the macbook to a 500gb and have a duel boot with Windows 7 installed with Boot Camp along with other software that I do not want to lose.  Is it possible to remove my hard drive from the Macbook and install it in a new Macbook Pro?

    A much better solution is to hook your two Mac together and the first time you start the new Mac and it asks if you wish to recover data from another Mac, answer yes. This will invoke Setup Assitant which will do the job for you but intelligently.
    I know because I just used Setup Assitant. It worked like  a charm.

  • I lost my ipad, and when i logged in to my apple account, i found another person email. what can i do to trace ? my ipad hasnt been registered with apple before i lost it, can i registered now (as i still have the package) and then supply the serial no.

    Hi, just wonder anyone can help. i lost my ipad few weeks ago (already reported to police in UK but they arent helpful), and when i logged in to my apple account, i found another person email added to my apple account (but has not been verified). what can i do to trace ? my ipad hasnt been registered with apple before i lost it, can i registered now (as i still have the package) and then supply the serial no. to apple so they can block that ipad??
    i am based in london, but seems now the apple account based in USA.. very strange.
    i am using iphone as well, so beforei lost the ipad, when i download apps, it download to both iphone and ipad.
    i am not sure what i can do to make apple aware of the lost ipad, as i havent registered my ipad before i lost it. or can i registered now and report a lost??
    appreciate any advice..
    thanks

    The only tracking feature Apple offers is the one tied to your iCloud account (https://www.apple.com/icloud/features/find-my-iphone.html).  If you did not have an iCloud account set up on the iPad, or did not have the "find my iPad" setting enabled under that account's settings, then you cannot track it remotely.
    There is nothing you can do but hope the police do something, or you find it yourself.  Apple does not get involved with lost or stolen property.
    see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2526
    However, I hope you IMMEDIATELY changed your AppleID password when you noticed the added email - the only way someone could do that is if they know both your AppleID primary email address AND your current password.

  • While playing music on my iphone 5, i am now unable to play, pause, or skip songs while my phone is locked. I can still change the volume and slide the scrub through songs.  This has always worked for me until now. I have not changed any settings

    While playing music on my iphone 5, i am now unable to play, pause, or skip songs while my phone is locked. I can still change the volume and scrub through songs.  This has always worked for me until now. As far as i know, i have not changed any settings.  This is whle my phone is locked both on the slide up toolbar/menu interface and on the normal screen before i slide to unlock.

    I skimmed through this very long post but from what I read, this sounds much more like a coverage issue with your network than a device issue.  I have not seen or heard of this issue before and I do not have this issue personnally and & I use the music app quite frequently while working in the yard.
    The DND feature should not be a factor at all if you're sure it's turned off.  I always recommend restarting your phone by holding down the home button + the lock button for 10-12 seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Once the phone reboots, do a test to see if this has helped to resolve the issue.
    If not, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.  Then, test it out again.  Post back if neither of these solutions solve your issue.
