Should my iPhoto library show in iCloud?

my iphoto suddenly asked to upgrade earlier - it would not reopen without clicking continue - when I did it immediately came up with brand new iphoto as if had never been used before - and all my library is gone. Can't find it anywhere. Where do I get it back and should all my photos not be in icloud? I photo is not even showing in icloud login page??? help!

While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t use iCloud. There's an iCloud Support Community where everybody uses iCloud. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/icloud/icloud_on_my_mac

I need to know why songs in my library show and ICLOUD status of "waiting" and I can never play them.

I need to know why songs in my library show and ICLOUD status of "waiting" and I can never play them.

The same thing happened to me.
1. You will need to know the location of your iTunes library for later, the default is under music under your username. If its not there find it and remember where it is for later.
2. Then you have to exit iTunes and create a new empty library. To do this hold the option key when you open iTunes. Choose create Library on the pop up dialogue. Create the library anywhere on your system, you can delete the entire library once you have completed your iCloud changes.
3. When the library opens in iTunes it will be empty. Click on iTunes Match and click the start button. after it finishes all of the songs on your iCloud match account will be listed under music.
4. you can select up to 1000 at a time and delete them.
5. when you have deleted everything close iTunes and open again holding the option key and navigate to your original library, usually in the music folder under your username. You should be all set and can click iTunes match again and your account will be populated with the ones in your current library.
6. You can navigate to the temp library you created in finder and delete it as it is no longer needed.
Good luck, I hope this helps.

How to upload and publish iphoto slide show to icloud

how to upload and publish iphoto slide show to icloud on mac book pro

Just log into your MobileMe account and go to your iDisk and delete the iWeb site that is there.
You can load your other site there by simply dropping and dragging your files for your new site to the Sites folder on your iDisk. Alternatively, MobileMe uses webdav so you can use Cyberduck to publish too.

Time Machine backup of external iPhoto library shows recent photos only as outline, no image. Any suggestions?

The Time Machine backup of my external iPhoto library shows all pictures 'now' but previous backups show the most recent pictures only as box outlines, some with a curled corner. How can I see all pictures to make sure TM has them? And if I would need to restore photos from TM can I do this one picture at a time or only the whole library? If I upgrade to iPhoto 11, a more recent OS, or both, do the answers to any of these questions change?
Many thanks!

You can not use the iPhoto library while it is a TM backup - you must restore it to use it - and you must restore it all

HT4847 Can I back up my Iphoto library to the Icloud - if so how

Can I back up my Iphoto library to the Icloud - if so how

No, unfortunately you cannot do that. At the moment iCloud does only backup hotos of your camera roll. Please make a local backup of your pictures using a Mac/PC or any other cloud storage service like Dropbox.

How do I backup my iPhoto library to the iCloud?

How do I backup my iPhoto library to the iCloud?

You can only backup the iPhoto libraries on iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPad) to iCloud, not the iPhoto Libraries on a Mac. Use Time Machine to backup your iPhoto Library or create clones of the drives with iPhoto Libraries.
This will change next year, when the new Photos.app will be released for Mac on the new MacOS X 10.10. Then you will be able to store the photo library in the cloud and access it from all your devices.

IPhoto library shows 500mb of data, but finder shows 2.2G of data

Hi all,
I'm not a newbie and I read a lot of threads already, this is something really new.
iPhoto says that my library has xxx number of files totalling up to 500mb of photo's. But if I use finder and look at the properties of the iPhoto library folder, it shows that the folder is 2,2Gig large. Upon inspection, I found photo's that should've been deleted a long time ago and worse is, they don't show up on iPhoto!!! So now I can't remove these photo's and I dunno what to do.
I can't burn a back up and start from scratch, because when I want to burn with iPhoto, it also burns these images on the DVD.

Tensai,
the fastest way would be to highlight library in the source column
share> export. They are exported in one lump sum. Kind of messy if you ask me. I tried it once and was shocked...ha
I also have no idea how that lump sum of images will import back into iPhoto either. They will probably be imported as one large roll....messy messy!
Let me tell you what i do in case you want to do this in the future.
When iPhoto 5 first came out I really think it was programmed to import the smaller 30 sec video clips that cameras were taking at the time. Since then, digital cameras, at least my Canon S2 can take clips as large as your memory card can hold. The first time I tried to download my images and movie clips with my new camera, iPhoto stalled at the movie clips. I wasn't going to take any chances messing up my iPhoto Library so I started using Image Capture to download all my images and Movie clips. I actually like doing it this way a lot better. My movie clips are downloaded into my Movies folder where I then put them in a dated folder.
My photos are downloaded into my Pictures folder, where I then put them in a dated folder. I import the dated folder into iPhoto. I also keep all dated folders from photo downloads in the Pictures folder till I get enough Movie folders and Photo folders to fill a DVD. I burn them and then delete them from the hard drive.
This way I have the photos in iPhoto and I also have just the photos backed up to DVD in nice dated folders.
The Movies I keep on the hard drive in their dated folders until I use all the clips for my iMovie projects for the Year. I then make sure they are all burned to DVD, then I delete those from my hard drive.
Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
Under the General button choose
Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.
iPhoto: How to Change the "Open Automatically" Preference
If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.

Will migrating my iPhoto library use up iCloud storage?

Hi! If I migrate my 50GB iPhoto library to Photos will it upload it all to iCloud? this would take up far to much storage on my iOS devices
Also...... how do I actually migrate it ?? I can't work it out.
Thanks for your help!

It will only use your iCloud storage allocation if you enable iCloud photo library, if you use photo stream and iCloud photo sharing it will use the cloud but this use won't count towards your allocation of iCloud space.
When you open your old library with Photos for the first time the Photos app will automatically update your library for you.

IPhoto Library shows as a folder and not a package

helping a client upgrade to a new intel imac from an iMac G5
iphoto tells him it can't open his photo library using this version of iphoto, and that iphoto must be reinstalled.
i found a great fix in these forums that involved going into Show Package Contents
BUT.....his iPhoto Library is actually a folder It isn't a properly-blessed package. Therefor the new iPhoto '11 won't even open it.
How can I fix this??

(that is for some reason no longer a "package")
What version are you upgrading from? Version 6 and earlier did not use the Package format.
Did you trash the receipts before re-installing?
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.

Icloud iphoto library beta vs icloud backup

I don't understand these two services, what's the difference?
When I lost my iPhone back in 2012, I simply bough another iPhone, typed in my e-mail and everything from my lost phone was there after downloading, all my photo's, everything. I could also download iCloud for PC and all my photo's would sync to my computer. When I plug my iPhone in and it's connected to wi-fi, it uploads all my data, including photos, to icloud.
So what's different about icloud iphoto library beta?

IPhoto library shows up, but auto ejects when I click on it

My main iPhoto library is on my iMac, but I use my macbook air more, so I would love to beable to access my iPhoto library from my macbook air. I have all the sharing preferences turned on, and the iMac library shows up in the iPhoto on my macbook air, but when I click on it, it auto ejects. Has anyone had this problem? Anyone have any solutions?
Thanks so much

Try Image Capture (in your applications folder)
You may also want to reset your phone - turn it off and hold the home and power button until the apple logo appears and goes away

NO iPhoto Library showing in Desktop and Screensaver Menu in SL

Hi experts,
I have experienced a problem after I updated to SL last night.
I made a fresh install of both SL and iLife 09 on my mbp unibody late 2008.
Afterwards, I replaced the my fresh iphoto library simply with my old iphoto 09 library from time machine (no migration tool, only copy pasts).
But now I recognized a problem that I see no iphoto library in my Desktop and Screensaver Menu in control panel. I cant set iphoto library photos as screensaver cause I cant see them
Does anyone have a solution for it? or does anybody face the same issue?
Thanks!!!

I have the same thing. I wiped everything clean and installed Snow Leopard/iLife '09/etc. I run my iPhoto lib from an Airdisk and I just set iPhoto to point to that same library on the wireless disk. Everything works fine, except I can't set iPhoto pics as my desktop. I see a label for iPhoto (just like when it used to work) except there's no arrow by it and it's empty. If I plug the computer straight into the disk and use the same library, it works fine. Any thoughts?

IPhoto Library showing old (previously deleted) photos?

I was looking to reset the faces in iPhoto and this required going to the iPhoto Library in the finder, while looking for the file to delete I came across previously deleted photos
Why is this?
If i deleted them I would expect them to be deleted and not lying around gathering space on my mac?
Is there a way to permanently delete photos?

1 - NEVER use the finder to make any change to the structure or content of the iPhoto library - tere are o user serviceable parts in it
2 - deleting from iphoto is simple - select a photo in an event and press the delete key then empty the iPhoto trash - do not reorganize events before emptying the iPhoto trash
3 - try Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database
4 - here is a potential solution if nothing above works - I have not tested it and as always have a good backp prior to doing things, but this sounds safe and effective - http://arstechnica.com/apple/2013/08/deleting-zombie-photos-from-iphoto/

Why does old iPhoto library show that it's been updated?

I 'backed up' my iPhoto library a few months ago by dragging it to and creating a copy on an external drive. I never used that extra, copied library. I continued using the one in my home Pictures folder on my hard drive.
I am moving stuff around for extra hard drive space when I recognize my iPhoto library on my external drive (just as I left it, I'd just forgotten about it). So for kicks, I clicked on GET INFO for that file so that I could compare it to my current iPhoto library.
Both were 'created' on the same day in 2009. The old one was a little smaller than the active one. Fine.
Interestingly, my backup copy said that it was Modified: Yesterday 5:30pm.
my current library said that it was Modified: Today 10:10pm.
QUESTION: Why was my unused, backup copy of iPhoto Library modified yesterday when I haven't accessed that file, clicked on the icon, or even remembered that it was there (until today)?
I appreciate any insight you may have. While not a burning issue, my interest is piqued. THANKS!

Have you rebooted since the deletions. That will empty a number of caches and may restore the freed up space. Also open the iPhoto Library package with the Finder as shown in this screenshot
locate the iPod Photo Cache folder and delete its contents. Make no other changes to the contents of the iPHoto LIbrary Package.
