Upgraded to Photo from iPhoto had 2 libraries can't find other

I had a problem with my Macbook pro and took it to a repair center.  They had to remove iPhoto and reinstall.  When they did there were 2 libraries.   One did not have all my projects and I have been working to get organized before Photo.   I did the latest update to Yosemite last night and this morning Photo was there.   Asked which library I wanted to use and I chose original.  I looked for the other and cannot find. That one has my Photo stream.   I really  need these.
It was my understanding that iPhoto was going to be still available.  How do I get these back?

Just like you'd change libraries in iPhoto.  Launch Photos with the Option key held down and select the correct iPhoto Library in the next window that you want to convert.

  • Missing all photos and events after upgrading to Photos from iPhoto

    I just upgraded to photos from iPhoto.
    When I opened Photos for the first time it asked if I wanted to move / import from iPhoto to the new photos app I said yes.
    A message came up that said that I needed to repair the permissions on my iPhoto library I said ok.
    When the library opened in Photos there was nothing there. It was as if the library was brand new with instructions on how to add images and events.  I went to iPhoto to open the library. Same thing iPhoto now looks like new with information on how to import photos and create events!
    Where are all of my images?
    How do I get them back?
    Thanks!

    HA! User Error. Supper embarrassing. So... Is there a way to delete this request?

  • If I delete photos from iPhoto on my ipad can I reimport them to my ipad from iTunes

    If I want to delete photos from iPhoto, and I have transferred them to iTunes by exporting them.  How do I delete them from the iTunes cache so I can export new photos from iPhoto?

    Let me answer your question this way.... If you import photos from your iPad to your computer, and then delete them from the iPad, you will be able to transfer them back to the iPad by syncing them using iTunes, or by using a WiFi Photo Transfer app.
    As long as the photos are moved to your computer for storage, you can safely delete them from the iPad.

  • IPhoto crashed during transfer, deleted photos from my iPhone and I can't find them anywhere. :( ^

    I was transfering over 4k photos and videos from my iPhone to my iPhoto.
    It said it was done and asked my if I wanted to deleted the files. I deleted, once I needed space on my iPhone. The thing is, it took a lot of time deleting untill the crash message appeared.
    iPhoto deleted over 2k photos from my phone, I open the iPhoto now and it doesn't show me a single photo.
    When I "get info" on the library it says the file has over 10gb, where are these photos? What do I do now ?
    I tryed the cmd+option and restoring or whatever, didn't work, and now the "faces" keeps searching for something.
    someone please heeeellp.
    thanks

    When you delete any data from your phone that you are syncing with iCloud, it deletes it from iCloud.  When you deleted the contacts from your phone, they were deleted from your iCloud account.
    Did you back up your phone while you still had that contacts on it, or do you have your contacts backed up anywhere else?

  • How can I edit and delete photos from my albums? I can't find a way to delete old photos...

    Can anyone help me delete photos? There are old blurry and duplicate photos that we are unable to delete...

    If photos were synced from your computer then they can't be deleted directly on the iPad, you will need to remove/de-select them from where you synced it from on your computer and re-sync.

  • I imported events from iphoto into aperture and aperture is showing 2 photos for each picture, one original and one edited although none of the photos from iphoto had been edited. Any idea why this has happened and what I need to do to prevent this.

    I imported several events for iPhoto into Aperture3 and in Aperture it shows two photos for each photo imported, one original and one edited although none of the photos imported were edited. Why has this happened and what do I need to do to prevent this in future. I have only recently got Aperture and am trying to learn as I go along using the Focal Press guide. Thanks for any help.

    This is not what I found to be the case in a recent experiment using iPhoto11- I did repeat it to be sure.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15586837#15586837
    Quickly, what I found is that only the ones I did actual adjustments on brought over two images.  Images that were simply rotated, had "quick fixes" or "Effects" did not bring in two images.  More importantly, among the ones with adjustments that did bring in two images, the ones with the keyword  "iPhoto Edited" appear to be nothing more than iPhoto's 6MB JPEG Previews.  The master was a 25MB RAW image.
    I don't know why some users are experiencing doubles on everything, but I recommend caution in deciding which ones to remove or you may find yourself deleting masters and keeping previews.

  • When I send a photo from iphoto through e mail I cannot find a record in the sent box.  Where is the record of the sent photo?

    Where is the record of an e mail I send using i photo share?  It isn't in the 'sent' box of my e mail account

    What I am missing is the sharing history in iPhoto.
    It's hidden and buried in the Info drawer for the photo.
    And there's no way to search for those photos that have been emailed.  If you want a sent copy BCC yourself on every email you send out.

  • Moving photos from iPhoto 6.0.2 to desktop or other files

    When I select a photo and drag it to the desktop a small green circle with a white plus sign appears in the photo and when I release the mouse the photo is copied to the desktop. In random instances when I try to select and drag a phot to the desktop a small white circle with a diagonal slash in the circle (i.e. like a No-smoking, etc. symbol) appears in the photo and it will not allow me to drag and drop the photo. I have to restart the computer and then I am able to reselect the photo and drag and drop it. Anyone else having this problem or any suggestions on what I need to do to avoid having this problem? Thanks for any help!

    Trevor:
    Try the fix I suggested in my post above. That's because Disk Utility only works on files/applications that have receipts in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and not on the User folders. So if you run BatChmod on your iPhoto Library folder it may set things straight.
    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.

  • Used the file transfer software from Apple to move music and photos from PC to iMac and can't find the files on iMac even though it was "successful" any help?

    Used the file transfer software from Apple to move music and photos to iMac.  After several hours it was "successful" but I can't locate it on the iMac.  Any ideas for the rookie?

    The music should be in iTunes and your photos should be in iPhoto. What happens if you launch those applications?
    Best of luck.

  • Since the most recent iPhoto upgrade, I can't sync photos from iPhoto to my iPhone or iPad. This is so frustrating! whereas previously all I had to do was put 'sync' as a keyword,

    Why can I no longer export photos from iPhoto to my iPhone and iPad? Previously, when I used 'sync' as a keyword for a photo, it automatically exported to the other devices when they were synced with computer. This no longer happens so I don't know how to get photos from the computer onto my iPhone & iPad. Can anyone help as it's most annoying. So often updating software has really negative side-effects such as this.

    I add the keyword 'sync' to any photos I want added to the iPhone/iPad.
    Then, during the regular process of syncing the iPhone/iPad with my computer (mac), the photos with that keyword would be copied onto the iPhone, iPad.
    I've been doing it this way ever since I was shown how to; ie after I got my iPhone 2 years ago. And every time the process worked - until the last few weeks. Suddenly it doesn't do it any more.
    I believe I have upgraded software (either iTunes or iPhoto or both) during this period. I try to keep my software updated but have noticed previously that the new version often is disappointing.
    I've not tended to use Smart albums much.

  • Since upgrading to mountain lion on my macbook pro, i cannot email photos from iphoto.

    Since upgrading to mountain lion on my macbook pro, i cannot email photos from iphoto.
    i can select the picture but when sending it, an error symbol appears.
    Any ideas ?

    This doesn't work for me at all. I tried entering exactly the same information that I used to set up my regular email account and I'm still getting an error message. I even tried switching to using my gmail account and neither one worked. Then it got hung up and had to repair my database! I have a lot of photos on my Mac (thank goodness they're backed up) and I was really sweating it for a moment.
    Apple is so easy until it's not. I find this to be really aggrevating and I'm irritated that it hasn't been fixed. In fact I did an online search and someone described this same problem in detail and it was exactly what was happening to me. Same error messages.
    I'm frustrated that Apple keeps updating it's operating system and then we go through these glitches.
    And while I'm at it, I have never had such a frustrating time using my login information as I have to get into this forum! Why do they make it so difficult? There's just something about the way it's worded that get's me messed up every time. Meanwhile, at least get iPhoto fixed!

  • Cannot email photos from iPhoto after upgrade to 10.8

    After upgrading to 10.8, I have not been able to successfully eamil photos from iPhoto. I can select the photos, click the email icon, and have Mail open with the photos attached (as expected). But the send button is grayed out, and the newly created message window cannot be closed. To get rid of the unsendable email, I have to quit or force shut down Mail, then reopen Mail and manually delete the email from Drafts.
    Has anyone else run into this issue?

    As Larry suggested go into iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and make sure your email account information is correct. If you joined iCloud that is a must.

  • How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    You can't.  iCloud is not for general file backup from a Mac. It's for backup up and syncing data between mobile devices and and Macs and  The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: Backup and restore overview.
    iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your (mobile) device using iOS 5 or later. Once you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch .....
    What is backed up
    You get unlimited free storage for:
    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
    Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemails
    But not from a Mac.  If you want to backup your photos and other important files I suggest you get an external hard drive and use  it with Time Machine.

  • I can't move photos from iPhoto to my secondary hard drive or to a burn folder.  I have never had a problem with this before.  This is something new.   They will not drop into either folder.  Nothing happens.

    I can't move photos from iPhoto to my secondary hard drive or to a burn folder.  I have never had a problem with this before.  This is something new.   They will not drop into either folder.  Nothing happens. 
    I checked my secondary harddrive and there is plenty of memory.
    I emptied my burn folder but the photos still will not drop into it.
    I created a new burn folder, no luck with this either.
    230 photos is the maximum size of the events I am trying to move from iPhoto to save elsewhere.
    I have shut down and restarted my computer.   No change. The photos still will not drop out of iPhoto.
    My Mac Computer Storage shows that I have 62.2GB free out of 249.2GB (movies, photos and contacts taking up the most space)
    My Lacie External Harddrive (2TB capacity) shows that I have 1.79TB available.  It shows that 207,729,520,640 bytes (207.73 GB on disk) are used.
    I have never had this problem before.  It is usually very easy to move my photos from iPhoto.
    I am not a computer expert (I work in surgery so don't have a need for lots of computer knowledge) so please explain in simple terms.  
    Thank you so much for any help you can provide.
    I really appreciate it.

    YES Terence!  Thank you. Exporting allowed me to move my photos from iPhoto into the Burn Folder on my desktop.   But that doesn't explain why I'm having to go that route now.   Have I done something (accidentally changed some setting) on my computer that will not allow me to just click and drag anymore?   I really liked the convenience of the click and drag option. 
    I don't have the time tonight to export and burn a lot of CD/DVDs.  I'll try that tomorrow and make sure my photos are moving properly.  I also need to export photos to my external hard drive to make sure that route is working. 
    Wouldn't you know that my Apple Care Plan runs out this Wednesday?!  I need to make sure everything is working properly before that expires. 
    Thank you so much for your help.   I really, really appreciate it.

    How do I transfer photos from iPhoto 8.1.2 to aperture 3.4.5 without upgrading iPhoto?

    Again for Aperture questions it is best to ask in the Aperature forum. This has nothing to do with iPhoto. It only involves Aperature
