No.
Have a current backup.
Hold the option command keys and launch iPhoto to launch the First aid.
Start with repairing permissions first and proceed from there.
If you need to be more agressive, try the tried and true:

  • How do I delete an album and the photos from iphoto on macbook pro

    I have set up several photo albums on my macbook pro while expereimenting with macro.  The experiments are completed and I want to delete several entire albuns, including the name and all the photos within the album.  How do I that?  Thanks in advance.

    Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library
    1 - from an Event or the Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
    2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc.: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin.  Then empty the trash bin as above.
    NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from an Event deletes ALL occurences of that photo in the library.

  • Moving photos from iPhoto in macbook pro to new iMac

    We recently got a new iMac.  Pumped to move photos from 13" Macbook Pro to huge iMac, right?  Well this has been quite a crazy effort!  So far, here is what I have tried unsuccessfully:
    1) Moving iPhoto library (from the icon) to external hard drive and then moving that file onto the computer.  I cannot get it to move from the hard drive into my photo folder on the iMac.  I tried to just click it and upload the pictures but then only about half of a size of each photo shows up and is really screwed up.
    2) Tried by bluetooth (93gb).  Just froze up the Macbook Pro program trying to do that.
    3) Tried sharing wireless connection
    4) Tried hooking up an ethernet cord between the two.
    What I run into over and over is that I cannot click and drag the iPhoto Library icon over to my iMac.
    So any ideas?  Initially did all photo files over but it made two and three copies of each of them and my research of this has said to use the iPhoto Library icon.
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

    I may have just figured out part of the problem.  I was having trouble dragging files and discovered others were having the same problems through these forums.  Restarted the computer and bam...I can drag the file now!  Thought I was going to go crazy.  We'll see if this works ultimately.
    Thanks Larry

  • Do we have too many photos in iphoto 6?

    After last roll was downloaded from digital camera (91photos) We have total of 3300 +. Which if you print six to a page its 539 pages. When we select multiple photos get a text message with iphoto camera on left saying document page not loaded. So will not print. The only way I have found to get around it is to click on Library photos which shows the very first photos on the screen then go to advanced options and select a page number to print six pictures. Tried even with photos I had printed before by doing he same thing. Everything was working fine before that last roll was downloaded.

    tap:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you trying to select and print 6 photos or more photos at 6 per page? Can you describe the workflow you're using to select the photos, bring up iPhoto's print window, select the paper size and other options?

  • I cannot now get my iPad photos to move, to make comments.  My iPad is now 6 months old and I fear I may have too many photos there, how do I delete?

    I have a large amount of photos in my photo section, principally streams and I cannot now move them or make comments; neither can I watch videos that have been posted .. it,s stuck... Also how do I delete some of these photos, and is overloading the cause of my obstruction? 

    A good route would be to attach a USB drive to the macbook.  You can use the drive to assemble a copy of all of your music from your various devices.  iTunes on the macbook can be used to create a new library, located on the USB drive, into which you can import all of your music.
    Two major benefits:
    1.  From here you can run iTunes Match across your entire music collection; and
    2.  You will have created a full local backup of all of your music on the USB drive.
    Once complete you will be able to access the music from any iDevice capable of running iTunes Match,  Do remember as you add music it is important to maintain a local backup in order to keep your music safe.

    Did it...  When I clicked on "No name", a file folder came up and, I forgot to put MacBook Pro in the name bar... That was it!  Maybe someone else can use this post Hopefully...

    iMessage on MacBook Pro shows i'm my friend. My friend's photo and name shows in every conversation instead of mine. How do I fix this?

    I am using my own Apple ID.  (My father doesn't even have one).  I seem to recall having to select a contact or something to assign to my iMessage app when I used it the first time on my iPad.  I checked the settings and it is set to my apple ID and correct email address.  Any other ideas?

    Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

    Note - that no internet backup service has been proven to be safe and effective for backing up the iPhoto library - unless you personally have backup uyp an iPhoto library and restored it sucussfuly form one it should not be recommended - a large number of people have lost their photos trying it

  • I need to minimize the space photos take on my MacBook Pro OSx 10.7.  They are in iPhoto, Aperture, Pictures/Photo Library, etc.  Are they taking space in all of these locations?

    I need to minimize the space photos take on my MacBook Pro OSx 10.7.  They are in iPhoto, Aperture, Pictures/Photo Library, etc.  Are they taking space in all of these locations?

    Are they taking space in all of these locations?
    It depends on how you are using iPhoto and Aperture. 
    iPhoto and Aperture each create their own library files, and the default location for them is in /users/youruseraccount/Pictures
    You can configure iPhoto and Aperture to use the same Library file, in which case your photos are only stored once.  But if you are using iPhoto & Aperture with independent library files, you may in fact be duplicating your storage.
    The second consideration is whether or not you have configured iPhoto and/or Aperture as reference libraries, in which case their library files only reference photos you have stored in other places on your hard drive.  Setting them up as reference libraries does not duplicate the photos inside the library files.

  • HT204022 If I delete my photo stream photos off of my iPhone will they also delete from my photo stream on my MacBook Pro? If so how can I ensure that those photos are saved?

    If I delete my photo stream photos off of my iPhone will they also delete from my photo stream on my MacBook Pro? If so how can I ensure that those photos are saved?

    They will not be deleted if they have been imported to your iPhoto library.  To ensure this happens automatically, go to iPhoto>Preferences>iCloud and check Automatic Import:
    To confirm that they have been imported to your library, click on iCloud on the left sidebar of iPhoto, open your My Photo Stream album on the right, then Control-Click on your pictures.  If you see "Show in Library" in the pop-up, the picture has been imported to your library and you can safely delete it from photo stream.
