The old version of iPhoto would not import my photos from my iPhone and now there are over 11,000 of them, how do I erase these unwanted photos?

I had the older version of iPhoto and it was allowing me to start the import from my iPhone but would unexpetcadly quit leaving all of the photos uniported and added duplicates of each one every time I opened iPhoto so that now there are over 11,000 of them. I have the newest version now and I was hoping there would be a way to erase them but I still cannot figure it out. Does anyone know how to erase the 11,000+ unwanted photos from the program?
Thank you
Heather

So, are you gettting a message at start up? If so try:
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
Start iPhoto. Does that help?
If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.

    How can I go back to the prior iMovie berfore Maveric, I have try to figure out the new one and it has been impossible, Why did they change something that was
    working great, just to impress the competition and now I have all my porject behind, I think the only person that knows how to work with it is the inventor.

  • Hi when I do a search and say there are over 31,000 results...I only get 8 pages of 4 items per page. Why does it limit my access to the results?

    Hi just yesterday when I do a search a lot of results come up like 31,000 but I only have access to 8 pages with 4 items on items on it? And there is no link to click on to advance beyond that. Why? How can I
    have access to all 31,000 items again? This happens for no matter what I search for now. It never used to do this. Thank you! , Leslie Brennan

  • I have recently updated to iPhoto 9.2.1, more by accident I guess. In the older version off iPhoto when I imported photos and gave the event his own name, this name was also used in the "masterfile"

    I have recently updated to iPhoto 9.2.1, more by accident I guess. In the older version of iPhoto when I imported photos and gave the event his own name (for exampample "110723 birthday son 2011"), this name was also used in the "masterfile", so I could find the file by his name ("110723 birthday son 2011") in the "masterfile" on my HD and copy and paste it from there to other computers.
    In the new version the file gets stored under a seemingly random number, which does not give me any information about the content.
    Is there a way to fix this? Would it be different in apperture?
    Thanks

    I have Iphoto '09, version 8.1.2 (424). I am having an identical problem.  All my pictures are imported into Iphoto when I downloaded them from my camera.  Until recently, I thought that the pictures were actually saved in the library.  Since I need to crop my pictures for the web, and Iphoto doesn't do that, I purchased Photoshop Elements to do that.  To my surprise, when I try to get a picture from Iphoto to Photoshop, it can't be done. That was when I realized, after wasting a lot of time, that the photos are not in the Iphoto library.
    I started naming the pictures on Iphoto so I had a recognizable file name to open on Photoshop. Couldn't find it.  I looked in the Backup folder and the Transfer software folder (I have a Nikon camera), and the names I entered in the Iphoto display, could not be found.
    When I am trying to upload a photo to the web, I get the Finder folder showing  with an active folder called "Photos" under "Media", which only displays Iphoto and PhotoBooth.  This is a folder name that I cannot find in my HD anywhere when I look for it.  If I edit a picture with Photoshop, I am not going to save it back to Iphoto (not sure whether it will work properly).  How do I get my folder of edited photos to show when I want to upload a picture to the web?
    Where (the name of the folder) do I find the pictures I see displayed on the Iphoto library, including any name changes, keywords added, and so on?

  • Iphoto would not import movies from Iphone 4 - ANYBODY ELSE HAS ISSUES?

    Hello,
    Yes Iphone 4 is so sexy.
    I have reception issues too unfortunatly , only where reception is weak anyway, but yes it happens...
    also iphoto would not import most of the times
    the iphone 4 videos?
    any suggestions why and how to fix it ?
    Many thx
    Anteros

    I was encountering this on the developers' beta of iTunes 9.2 on a gigabyte-sized iPhone 4 movie. (I am in Developer Program.)
    I just reinstalled with the standard iTunes download and was able to do a successful import directly from the phone.
    Perhaps an iTunes reinstall can fix it for you as it did for me.

  • Can i download the old version of iPhoto?

    can i download the old version of iPhoto?

    No.  To go back to a previous version, i.e. iPhoto 8 from current iPhoto 9,  you'd have to reinstall iPhoto from your backup or Time Machine or the disks that came with your Mac (unless your Mac is a new one that came with Lion preinstalled).
    What version do you have running now and what version do you want to revert to?  Why?
    If you do revert to an earlier version you'll need to follow these instructions from iPhoto Library Manager website to convert the library back to the new version: Fat Cat Software - iPhoto Library Manager Help - Downgrading a library to an earlier version of iPhoto .  Otherwise the older iPhoto will not open your library

  • I want the old version of iPhoto back

    I have been a MacBook Air user. I use to love this and has purchased another one in 2012 (version 2012) -  OS X 10.9.4 (13E28). Can someone show my how to undo the latest update? Now I can no longer put captions and add frame style on my photos!  IS APPLE GOING BACKWARDS? THEY GIVE YOU ALL THE GOOD THINGS IN THE BEGINNING!!
    Why can't I keep the old version of iPhoto? I am so disappointed with Maverick in view of (iMovie - can't burn) and the iPhoto - it has taken away the fun in producing photos and movies. I AM NOW LOSING MY TRUST AND LOOKING AT MOVING TO SAMSUNG OR OTHER OUT THERE.

    Just wait.  When Yosemite comes out and includes the new Photos application we may get out keywords back.  At least I'm hoping so. 
    In the meantime you'll have to regress back to iPhoto 8.1.2 (09) and Mt. Lion.
    Or with iPhoto 9.5.1 an easy way to see which keywords are assigned to a photo is select that photo's thumbnail and type Command + K to bring up the Keyword pane for iPhoto.  All keywords shown in blue are those assigned to that photo:

    I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong during the uninstall/reinstall process. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    In the Control Panel, Add/Remove programs, look for '''Mozilla Firefox'''. Make sure to save (do not delete) your personal settings when uninstalling.
    If it isn't there, just try installing 3.6.23, which is the latest in the 3.6 family. You can download 3.6.23 here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
    With respect to version 7.0.1, are you saying that the installation failed, or it seemed to work but it's nowhere to be found?

  • Iphoto will not import any pics from iphone or camera anymore?

    I am having trouble importing photos from my Iphone and camera to iphoto.  Worked fine in the past and now it says it is file is unrecognizable format.
    Also when viewing photos, I see the thumbnails, but when I want to see a large version, i just get a black screen.  Any suggestions?

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

    Hey renie1515,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    When you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. This article describes how to manage these associations.
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
    Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days.
    Note: Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90-day timer. You must wait 90 days from the day the device was first associated with your Apple ID before it can be associated with another Apple ID.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario
