Restoring iPhoto contents from an external hard drive results in duplicates! Please help!

Hi Folks,
I have an iMac 2.8Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo computer that had it's DVD fried and I gave it to Apple to fix it. They did and they also upgraded me to the Mac OSX Lion 10.7.4. I am not sure if I am a fan of this OS but that's a different story. I had backed up everything to an external hardrive (not using time Machine). The external drive is a Hitachi and came with it's own back-up software for the Mac. I was able to restore everything except iPhoto properly. By the time I specified the directory that contained my library information, I ended up getting duplicates events/pictures of EVERYTHING to the point where it has eaten up more than 100GB of my 350GB hard-drive
Now I have been looking through all of the duplicate events that iPhoto created, I see that most of them are thumbnails. I also downloaded photosweeper Lite to find duplicate pictures and that didn't help. I am a Unix hack and could write some sort of script to compare the fine names etc but I know that's not a practice that's encouraged and I really don't have the time to putz with it.
So can you please let me know how can I re-restore iPhoto properly please given what was in the back-up hardware? Here is what the directory structure looks like in the external drive:
Hitachi Restore/Users/mrghoo/Pictures/iPhoto Library
The content of the above directory is:

Can you let me know once I start iPhoto '11 how I make sure it reads the correct files from the list above?
I am sorry for the long winded request but if anyone could help, I would REALLY appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Sorry to hear of your difficulties.
Simply copy the iPhoto Library Folder from the back up to the Pictures Folder on the MBP and launch iPhoto. It will do the rest.
Alternatively, you can leave the library where it is and hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting dialogue select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the Library on the Back Up disk.

  • How do I transfer all my iPhoto contents from my external hard drive back to my MacBookPro iPhoto?

    My MacBook Pro recently had to have it's software cleared completely by a genius at the apple store. I purchased an external hard drive to save all of my documents and photos safely on so I would not lose them. I now am having difficulty reloading all of my iPhoto contents back onto my laptop from my external hard drive. Has anyone else experienced this? Will my iPhoto library go back to it's original appearance with all of the special albums I had made and the way in which I organized my photos and videos? How do I find what folders my photos were saved on my external hard drive to drag back onto my laptops iPhoto library?

    iPhoto stores it's pictures in the Pictures/iPhoto Library, so if you have this backed up on a external drive, then it's a simple matter of replacing the new iPhoto Library (free of anything) with the copy of the older one on the external drive and running iPhoto.
    If you have some items in the new iPhoto Library you can export them to the Desktop until the old one is replaced and then reimport them. Also another mehtod is to right click on the iPhoto Library and "Show Package Contents" inside is a folder called "Originals" which contain your files.
    If you replaced the files and iPhoto doesn't open up, then reset it.
    iPhoto rebuild database:   https://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638
    You might want to consider not having your movies in iPhoto, it's not designed to handle too much, in fact 10,000 pictures of mine seem to overload it.
    You can keep seperate iPhoto Libraries, use the option key held at launching of iPhoto to select another iPhoto Library.

  • How do I move my old iPhoto library from my external hard drive to my new Mac?

    Hi guys!
    I recently bought a new MacBook Air as my MacBook Pro was on its last legs... I have my backup for my old MacBook Pro on an external hard drive and I'm trying to put a selection of albums from my old iPhoto onto my new MacBook Air iPhoto. I can't simply click and drag it over as I get an error message "The iPhoto library is a Time Machine backup, and so cannot be used as the main library...". I've tried to reopen iPhoto while holding option and selecting my old iPhoto library from my external hard drive to open... AND I get the same message.
    If anyone could help me out that would be amazing!
    FYI: The hard drive I am using is a G|Drive mobile with Thunderbolt 1 TB.
    Thank you very much in advance!
    Cheers,
    Kendall

    I may sound like a real rookie here, but on my new MacBook Air there isn't a "Pictures" folder under "Users/kendallwilson" like there used to be on my old MacBook Pro (Early 2011). I'm still working out the new software on my MB Air, so where exactly should I open this new window to start following the steps you just provided me.
    Thanks again!

  • I am not able to delete a backup copy of iphoto library from my external hard drive.

    I want to delete a copy of my iphoto library from an external hard drive. This drive is connected via my Apple extreme router. I drag the file to the trash but it just runs and does not seem to delete anything. 39 GB file. It is an older file and I want to clear up space on my external drive.

    I figured it out just now.
    I unplugged the drive from Airport Extreme and connected directly to the Imac via usb. Dragged the file to the trash and now it is gone.

  • My hard drive failed. I was able to restore my files from an external hard drive. I have my bookmarks saved but am not able to import them into Firefox as the only option is to import them from another browser. Any suggestions?

    -My hard drive failed.
    -I was able to restore my files from an external hard drive.
    -My bookmarks are saved to a folder on my new hard drive.
    -I am not able to import them from this folder on my hard drive into Firefox.
    - the only option Firefox offers for importing bookmarks is to import them from another browser...is there another way?

    In Firefox the bookmarks are saved in a database file called places.sqlite in the profile folder. If you have got this file from the external hard drive you can restore the bookmarks by copying this file to your current profile folder. For details of the location of the profile folder see either https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles or http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

  • How do I recover my iPhoto library from an external hard drive?

    I have an ancient iMac (2006!) that has housed my photos in iPhoto ever since.  I have the iPhoto library backed up (using Time Machine) on an external hard drive .  Well, my computer has finally given up the ghost and won't turn on.  The repair shop says it's not worth the money to repair it any longer, which I don't doubt.  Before I let them dispose of it, I want to make sure I can move my iPhoto library to my husband's (2013) laptop.  When I click on the iPhoto library that shows on the external hard drive menu, iPhoto opens but tells me that it cannot use a backup library as a main library.  What do I do?  How can I move the backup library onto another device?  OR do I need to retrieve the photos somehow from my kaput desktop computer?

    You can restore the library file from the Time Machine backup to a hard drive. Please visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine where you will find out how that is done. Or you can simply copy your iPhoto Library file from the computer's /Home/Pictures/ folder to any external device in order to move it to another computer. Do not forget the preference file(s) located in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder: com.apple.iPhoto.plist. Also, from the same location copy: com.apple.iPhoto.LSSharedFileList.plist if it is there.

  • I use Time Machine to back up my iMac.  How can I copy some iPhoto events from my external hard drive to my MacBook?

    I back up my iMac on my external hard drive.  When trying to copy the iPhoto Library onto my MacBook, I get the message "Cannot use TM backup as main library".  I don't even see an option to choose certain Events to copy.  Is there any way I can choose particular Events in iPhoto to copy to my MacBook?  How can I get the photos on my MacBook?

    If you're on Leopard or Snow Leopard, or Lion with iPhoto '08 or earlier, see the gray box at the end of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #15.
    If not, you cannot restore individual photos; just the entire iPhoto library.  A workaround is to restore it to an alternate location, such as your desktop, then export the selected photos from there.  See the pink box in the same article.

  • I can't load some content from my external hard drive to itunes,

    I can't load some content from 1 of my external hard drive to itunes, it can see it and try to load the folder / files but it doesn't appear, these files worked recently as some of them are currently on my ipod touch - I had to factory restore my laptop this week (virus) so have been trying to put everything back on to sync ipod - any ideas???

    To delete files from your external HDD, attach it to your MBP and drag the unwanted files to trash and then empty trash.
    Then you select the files that you want to transfer by 'drag and drop' to the external HDD and trash the files on your MBP.
    Ciao.

  • How do I restore all bookmarks from an external hard drive to a refreshed firefox?

    I just "refreshed" Firefox and lost ALL of my passwords, even though the instructions said they would be saved. I have tried copying them from the Old Firefox Data folder and this does NOTHING. I have all of the data I need on an external hard drive and the ability to browse ( have already found my Firefox profile on the backup drive) and copy and paste data from that drive to my C drive. Please tell me EXACTLY how to transfer my bookmarks to the refreshed version of Firefox. I have YEARS of bookmarks that I CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE. I will be more than happy to simply restore my old profile even though that will slow Firefox down. That would be a small price to pay, but I must have the bookmarks back. Please help!

  • Best way to merge multiple iPhoto libraries from several external hard drives into one, while deleting duplicates?

    Problem: My wife and I both have MacBook Pros (MBPs).  We take a lot of pictures and import them into iPhoto.  When the storage capacity of our MBPs gets full, I have been moving our iPhoto libraries into external hard drives, which are now multiple (3 or 4).  The problem I now realize we have been making, is that once the iPhoto libraries were copied onto the external hard drives, we were only deleting about half of the photos in each iPhoto library remaining in our MBPs (because we wanted to keep some of the important ones in our hard drives).  Once the storage capacities of our MBPs got full again, I would repeat the whole process again and again.  In essence I now have several large iPhoto libraries (each about 80 GB), each with multiple duplicate photos, divided among several external hard drives.  And I am running out of space on my hard drive again.  So what is the best way to:
    a)  merge all of these iPhoto libraries into just one, while simultaneously being able to delete all the duplicates?  (or would you not recommend this?)
    b)  prevent this from happening again?
    Thanks.  BTW I am using OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5 and iPhoto 8.1.2 (2009)

    If you have Aperture 3.3 or later and iPhoto 9.3 or later you can merge libraries with Aperture.
    Otherwise the only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($30) version of iPhoto Library Manager
    The Library Manager app can be set avoid duplicates.

  • How do I backup my iphoto library from an external hard drive to an online storage service?

    I moved my iPhoto library from my iMac to an external hard drive because I was running low on memory on my computer.  I decided I wanted to backup my computer files with an online service since I no longer have the external hard drive as a backup.  I am using ZipCloud and have tagged my iPhoto library to be backed up (it is called "Rebuilt Library").  I can see "Rebuilt Library" on my online backup files but it doesn't contain my pictures, just a few folders and some random data files.  
    I started using ZipCloud before I deleted my iPhoto library from my hard drive so all of my pictures except the ones from the last month or two are backed up online under the files of my main hard drive; indeed they show up under "Rebuilt Library" there in nice folders separated by year and then event.   I would feel better if I could get the newer pictures on there as well.
    Does anyone know how I can get these files backed up to an online service?
    Thank you.

    What version of iPhoto are you using?  Is your library a package when on your Mac?  Does that package remain a package when backed up to ZipCloud or is it just a folder? How big is your library?  What's the library size as determined by the Finder?
    The photos will be stored in subfolders inside the Originals folder or Masters folder inside the library folder/package.  You are running a Managed library, right?
    I'm not familiar with ZipCloud but it might not handle OS X packages properly.

  • Hard Drive crashed. How do I retrieve my old iPhoto files from the external hard drive I had used to backup?

    My computer was logged in using my Apple ID.  I was out of town when my hard drive crashed, so my wife took it in to get replaced.  When doing so the person at the Apple store helping her had her create a new Apple ID to use with the computer.  Now, when I open time machine I don't see anything from before this hard drive crashed.  How do I get access to my old photos from iPhoto that should have been backed up on the external hard drive?

    Sorry I am unclear where the backup is located.. On a time capsule??

  • Help! Advice for restoring photo library from an external hard drive

    Here's the deal. My house was broken into today, and my desktop iMac was stolen, but I still have my external hard drive where I saved photo albums and my iPhoto library. I want to transfer that iPhoto library (from iPhoto 4) onto my MacBook Pro that has iPhoto 6. What is the proper way to install my old photo library and albums onto the laptop with the later version of iPhoto?
    Thanks for the help in advance.

  • Viewing photos in iPhoto 5 from an external hard drive

    I have copied all of my photos onto my external hard drive. I can see all the contents perfectly well. The trouble seems to be with iPhoto.
    The only option I can find is Add to Library which then asks me which photos I want to import into iPhoto. The point is, I don't want to import them, I just want to look at them. Is there any way to do this?
    If not, any recommendations on another program I can use to view them/slideshows/etc.
    Thank you!
    Molly

    Hi there,
    Try this: Hold OPTION key down and open iPhoto > you will get a dialog box > quit - create - choose > choose locate and navigate to your external...
    Things to remember, make sure your external is connected & mounted and is showing up in finder...
