Where is the Apple Photos library to import into LR6 - it's seemingly vanished...

On my Mac, in import sources on LR6, there is no Photos option to select.  I had Aperture, then imported this library into Photos a few week back.  Hated Photos and now wish to use LR6.  But no Photos library to be found to import...Any ideas?

Lightroom doesn't currently support importing from Apple Photos library. Therefore, the only way I know to get to the files in the Photos Library is to do so manually.
First you'll need to select the Apple 'Photo Library' in your 'Pictures' folder then right click to open the context menu. On context menu you'll see an item named 'Show Packages Contents'. Click on this to open the Photos Library. In the Photos Library you'll find a 10 or so folders, one of which should be named 'Masters'. Copy this folder to the Pictures folder folder. This is where it can get messy. Apple stores your files in dozens, if not hundreds, of Hex numerically named folders. If you want all of the photos to be in their correctly named album etc then your out of luck. The best you can do is import the contents of this copy of the Masters folder into Lightroom using normal import procedure (make sure 'Include Subfolders' is checked in top left corner of import window). You can rename the Apple folders from Lightroom Folder panel.

  • Where is my I Photo Library in Time Machine Backups as I seem to have lost photos after installing Lion?

    Can anybody tell me how I can locate my photos from I Photo in the Time Machine backups as I seem to have lost most of 2011 after installing Lion.
    Many thanks

    To recover individual photos open iPhoto and use the File ➙ Browse Backups menu option.
    Click to view full size
    That will take you into iPhoto in Time Machine where you can search for the phtoos and restore them.
    To restore the entire library, close iPhoto, go to the Pictures folder, enter Time Machine, go back in time till you get the library you want to restore, select it and use the Restore button.

  • How do i make picture files on my ipod touch 4th generation, without itunes wanting to keep deleting everything in the original photo library.... I was only able to make on and can't remember how, but when I try to sync when touch is hooked up to itunes

    I have had my ipod touch 4th generation for a couple months now.... Nowhere in the manuals or help sections does it tell me how to make individual pucture files(like that already on my computer) put onto my ipod touch.... I managed to make one and I can't remember how I did it but when I have the touch hooked up to itunes and try to pick which picture files from my computer to sync, a box always opens and says that it will delete everything in the original photo library that was in there.....
    Can anyone help me there has to be away, I know someone has done it but they don't live here to show me!!!!
    Please and thanx in advance!!!!!!!

    where on my computer am I suppose to make the individual picture files and have them to upload on my ipod touch.... I do have a photo library on my computer, but in the photo tab in itunes for the ipod touch and there is nothing checked for syncing, cause when I do check it it always says its going to replace everything i have in my photo library on my ipod touch.....  So how am i suppose to have it checked and have it NOT replace pictures on it????
    Also I cannot make more photo albums into my ipod touch, it just replaces the one album every time....
    I am very frustrated cause I have tried the manuals and the apple support help etc and nothing pertains to my exact issue.....
    Please if u could elaberate I would appreciate it alot.....

    No - not at the present time anyway.
    Organize the photos on your computer before transferring the photos to your iPad.

  • Photos cannot find the system photo library

    I’m in trouble.  I was deleting photos in ‘pictures’ as I wanted to clean up some space on my iMac.  My assumption was that ‘pictures' is completely separate to iPhoto (or photos as it is now called).  I then go back into photos (the old iPhoto) and get the message 'photos cannot find the system photo library’.
    I cannot access any photos at all.  I’m working on a large project this weekend and I have purchased hundreds of photos over the last 6 months which I require for the project.  Blood pressure boiling at the moment!
    Any help please

    You absolute genius.  When I pressed alt and photos it gave me the option to open the ‘old version’ of iPhoto!!
    Just so I don’t mess up again.  How do I now get the old iPhotos back into photo?
    I did try to look on my time capsule but when I viewed the last back up from this morning, there was no photo in the sidebar to even open?
    I’m new to the forum.  I did call Apple but probably not wise for me to articulate on this forum what they said!
    The iPhoto migration to Photos would have been automatic when you upgraded - there is presumably a way to kickstart that again though I'm not certain how as I've not done so.
    If you have a Time Capsule that's great.
    I'll see if I can get some others to chip in.
    Also, if you can still open iPhoto you can of course continue to use that for the time being.

    Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

  • How to share the i-Photo Library on the same i-Mac with 2 Accounts?

    I am using a iMac running OSX 10.8.4. there are 2 accounts, mine and my wife's. we wish to be able to share the i-Photo Library on the same computer. So I copied the i-Photo library from my Library folder to the Users Shared folder and then deleted the original i-Photo library in my Library Folder.
    Now when I or my wife go to open i-Photo in either Account we get a message saying that the i-Photo Library is being exaimed and then tthen tells us there is a problem reading or accessing some files within the Library. It then asks us if we wish to Repair the Permissions. If we tell it to repair the permissions it does so and opens up and we can use i-Photo. If I swap  to my wife's  account I get the same problem. I repair the permissions and I can then use i-Photo within her Account.
    But when I swap back to my Account and try open i-Photo again I get the same problem. And the same happens if I go back to my wife's Account again.
    What can I do to remedy this problem?? Thanks

    Hi Neil, I have carried out the process you described, so I have a new mounted Image on my hard drive called Storage. I have moved the i-Photo library to this Storage Image and ticked the box which says ignore permissions and ownership. But now when I go to open i-Photo in my account or in my wife's account it says it cannot access the library because the volume is locked. But I can't see it being locked??
    Please help???

  • How do I move all the photos from the i-photo library on one account to the i-photo library on another account?

    I have recently bought a new mac mini running Lion, and yesterday I migrated an account off an older machine running Tiger.
    I want to delete the older account from this machine as it is causing some problems with i-cloud, but I want to transfer the photos first and add them to a different account on the new computer.
    So my question is How do I move all the photos from the i-photo library on one account to the i-photo library on another account?

    Copy the iPhoto library from the old Mac to the Desktop of the new one.  Then download the paid version of  iPhoto Library Manager, which is now compatible with Mt. Lion, and use it to merge the two libraries into a new, third library.  This will preserve the two libraries in case the merged library isn't to your liking. 
    Here are screenshots of iPLM's coping and merging preferences:
    When you're satisfied that the new, merged libraray is complete and working OK you can delete the two earlier libraries.

  • My iPhone was stolen last night and I'm trying to recover all my photos from that phone and get them on my mac laptop. The iCloud photo stream only imported 1,000 photos from my stolen phone. How can I retrieve all of my other photos?

    my iPhone was stolen last night and I'm trying to recover all my photos from that phone and get them on my mac laptop. The iCloud photo stream only imported 1,000 photos from my stolen phone. How can I retrieve all of my other photos?

    You have to reset the device to Factory Settings in order to restore it from an iCloud backup. You probably want to back it up as is before you do this.
    To do the reset after you have backed up the current device, go to Settings>Reset>Reset all Content & Settings. This will erase the device. If you are signed onto iCloud with Find My iPhone turned on, go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom to sign out of iCloud before you do the reset.
    Once you have reset your device, you will set it up like a new phone. When it asks if you want to restore it from an iCloud backup, select the backup you want to restore it from.

    Yes, it is part of EE not SE. Or you can get it/them from your application server's lib dir (which may or may not be a better choice).

  • Pictures sent from Samsung WP7 to iOS Devices Cannot Be Viewed Once Saved the the iOS Photo Library.

    2) View photo on iOS device in email app or messaging (text message)
    3) Save Photo to Photo Library in iOS
    4) Go to Photos app in iOS
    5) This results in a dialog saying "Rebuilding Photo Library"

  • HT201317 How can i delete the complete Photo Library?

    How can i delete the complete Photo Library, as i can delete from the camera roll, but there dosent seem to be an obvious way to completely delete the Photo Library or items in the library either? There is no delete option like for the user generated albums...
    I have tried deleting from the Camera Storage in the Settings menu, the delete appears but when pressed nothing happens.

    I'm sorry but the way you worded the question I thought you were referring to iPhoto's library on the computer. I don't use an iPhone or the iPhoto app, so I can't answer your question in that regard.
    Since you already marked the topic as solved when it was not, I recommend you re-post your topic. Just use a different topic title such as, "Help with iPhoto app on iPhone 5."

  • Hi I currently have about 20,000 photos in I photo, which the 'info' displays as being 68GB's worth. However the I Photo Library with the Pictures Folder displays it's size as 341.21GB ... Why would that be? How do I look at what's in the I Photo Library?

    Hi I currently have about 20,000 photos in I photo, which 'info' displays as being 68GB's worth. However the I Photo Library within the Pictures Folder displays it's size as 341.21GB ... Why would that be? How do I look at what's in the I Photo Library to figure out what's happening, and if there's stuff in there I need to delete?

    Best to keep the terms clear.
    You export photos from iPhoto.
    You move the iPhoto Library to an external disk.
    They're are quite different processes. Exporting means at the end you have a file outside iPhoto. Moving means the files are still inside iPhoto.
    So if you say:
    I'm currently exporting the  library to an external drive
    That reads like I''ve selected all the photos in iPhoto and am exporting them to a folder on this external drive, and at the end I'll have a folder full of photos outside iPhoto. Is that what you mean?
    Is it best to have a 'master' I photo library on an external drive for all the thousands of pics Im never really going to look at often - and a smaller one kept on the HD for day to day usage ...
    Best? Hard to know. It might make sense on a portable. But if you're on an iMac why do you need a smaller one on the internal? Why not just have the whole library on the external? There is no performace hit.

    The Kindle app (I assume that you mean that you reading a Kindle book in the Kindle app) supports sharing to Twitter and Facebook (press and hold on a word, and when you release it you should get a popup for highlighting, notes and a version of share)
