Why some photo in Photos is linked to iPhoto only?!

Hi and tnxs for reading.
While testing some ways to manual backup my photos from Photos, I got a caution msg from Photos in relation to 2 out of 300 album I have.
This msg was stating that some photos cannot be exported since they are linked to iPhoto library and not Photos library. There are instructions suggesting me the way to link them to the appropriate folder (in this case folder n.10 of Master/2012 subfolder of iPhoto Library).
Of course this is something I do not like since I would like Photos to be independent from iPhoto.
Here are my doubts/questions:
1) why this happened?
2) by following the instruction to allow Photos to access those photos, I cannot proceed since when clicking "OK" I need to manually point a folder inside iPhoto library, which is greyed in the opened window.
3) Can I fix the issue by consolidating the 2 albums? By selecting the 2 albums and selecting "Consolidate" I get a warning saying that this action will copy original files in Photo library and the action is irreversible. Since I am not an expert on this, I am asking here before continuing...
Tnxs.

Hello and thanks very much - sadly this is not the case, I checked it already: The photos not being transferred are separately taken shots. The ones being transferred and the ones that are not seem completely randomly defined and it is never predictable which ones will show up.

  • Some photo's missing in iPhoto only black screen Appears with ! symbol

    I am using iPhoto 08 and have around 11000 photos in my Library, about 300 all of a sudden have gone missing. The thumbnail is no longer visible only a black screen with the symbol ! appears. Any advice?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    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.
    If that fails:
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • Why some photos in my Photos library did not upload to my iCloud photo library. Isn't supposed to be automatic?

    Why some photos in my Photos library did not upload to my iCloud photo library. Isn't supposed to be automatic?

    Is there something special about the file formats? iCloud Photo Library supports:
    JPEG, RAW, PNG, GIF, TIFF, and MP4.
    And no JPEG must be larger than 16GB.
    The photos will not upload, if the original image file is missing. Can you edit or export the photos, that did not upload?

  • Why is "Photos" so awful?  iPhoto was simple, intuitive, easy to organize and use. Photos is the opposite of that.

    Incorrect. iPhotos is not removed at all. It can still be used as long as you have kept your Software up to date. Otherwise
    Is Iphoto gone ? i want it back!

  • Why some photos do not show up in the widgets after final export?

    Why do I have a problem with the FeatureD News Widget not showing all my photos? I have tried redoing it many times over in different formats and all but one photo never shows up in the final export. Please I need help to finish up the website.

    If I understand this correctly, you are reporting that you have images in your Featured News' target frames and some of those photos do not show up in the published site.
    If so, I would like you to confirm if the widget works fine in Preview within Muse? Are the images missing in all browsers, even after clearing the browser cache? Can you provide a link to a published site? If required I may also request your source Muse file to investigate further.
    Thanks,

  • Why some photos are not clear on Facebook?

    I have posted some snap  clicked from my DSLR on, Facebook. But when I view there! they are not clear.

    I have the same problem: I just added an new project to Aperture, but it isn't shown in the list of projects on the AppleTV. Even not in the "Last Week" one ... All other (or even most of them - I cannot count them - it is to much of them ... nicer sorting would be useful) are properly shown in the list...
    So it is not a networking problem or so ... Any ideas ?

  • Some photos will not add to my SmugMug Publish Collection

    Two days ago I upgraded to Lightroom 3 and I'm having trouble adding some files to a SmugMug Publish Collection.  I cant figure out why some photos will add to the collection and some won't.  I don't get an error message, I don't get any idication as to why some files will add and others will not.  I have tried to drag them to the publish section a single photo at a time and in a group. 
    Any suggestions!??!?

  • Color saturation on some photos excessively, on some normal

    I have more than 10.000 photos on my G5 Quadra. I scanned colour slides, paper photos and used two Nikon digital cameras, three Canon digital cameras and now I use a Panasonic Lumix FZ 30. I understand that understanding ColorSync for a „simple“ photographer - who prints photos on different papers on inkjet colour printers - is not essential, so I followed the advice in the literature not to bother with ColorSync, I never (willingly) embedded any profile. My Apple Cinema HD is left as it came.
    What is the result?
    All my programs (PhotoShop CS, PhotoShop Elements, FotoMagico, GraphicConverter, Imag Buddy, iViewMedia Pro, MorphX, Panorama Maker, Apple Preview, Apple Keynote, Aplle iMovie, Final Cut Express, Apple Pages, Motion Pictures HD, NoteBook, Photo to Movie) show beautiful photos - just as I adjusted them in PhotoShop. Also iPhoto up to iPhoto 5 showed the right colours.
    iPhoto 6 alters many of these - to all above mentioned programs well known photos - to heavily oversaturated photos.
    I have spent many hours trying to find out a plausible reason why some photos out of series are „devastated“ and why some are not. Of course I have tried some of the remidies from the discussions here, none helps. And of course I would not do anything to my photos so that the majority of programs would make them look pale and colourless.
    I am sure there is a real thick bug in this version 6 of iPhoto, the bug is outside the profile! Has anyone heard of how long we have to wait until Apple repairs this bug?
    Thank You so much for listening,

  • Organizer photos not appearing on iPhoto after I downloaded them

    I have Elements 12 and some photos I downloaded from iPhoto to Organizer now are not appearing on iPhoto, and are grouped together as a folder in Organizer, instead of appearing individually in Organizer

    Memory is getting small
    By memory do you mean free disk space? How much free space do you have? It's strongly recommended that a minimum of 10GB free space be maintained (20 GB if you use iDVD a lot) for optimal system and application performance.
    By searching for thumbnails can you explain further? Do you get a message?

  • Cant get iMovie08 to show all photos that are in iphoto.

    Can't get iMovie08 to show all photos that are in iphoto.
    only shows about 30, when there are actually about 60 or so in one album.
    any ideals?

    Can't get iMovie08 to show all photos that are in iphoto... only shows about 30, when there are actually about 60 or so in one album... any ideals?
    Do the photos display correctly in the media browser when the mail library ("iPhoto") heading is selected? If so, you could simply add the photos from the library rather than the specific album. Alternately, if you have to select your photos from an "album," you could try reselecting the photos in the main library in the iPhoto application and create a different album to see if all photos then show up in the secondary album in the iMovie media browser.
    If the "missing" photos do not show up under the main "iPhoto" heading in the iMovie media browser and do not show up in the main library in the iPhoto application, then the files may be corrupted. In this case, simply re-import the original files if possible. You could also try to force a rebuilding of the thumbnail cache, but this is usually done automatically when the application itself detects inefficiencies in thumbnail access or when the application is updated. In any case, there does not appear to be a manual menu option to do this arbitrarily when the user so desires. I suppose you could try to locate and delete the cache manually and hope this forces an automatic rebuild the next time the iPhoto application is opened but I am personally not that familiar with the package structure to advise such action at this time. You might check the iPhoto forum and see if anyone can help you further in this area of endeavor.

  • Unable to see photos in iphoto only  blank boxes where the photo's should be

    can anyone help , usually use the external drive to manage iphoto, for some reason now when i click on iphoto, only blank boxes appear and even when i eject the hard drive and open iphoto it thinks it has found the library with blank boxes . ???

    Remember we can't see your machine.
    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
    With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.

  • The ipad won't sync some photos, saying the file can't be read by the ipad, however it will sync some photos taken at the same time which are the same size and file type.  Why does it reject some and accept others?

    The ipad won't sync some photos, saying the file can't be read by the ipad, however it will sync some photos taken at the same time which are the same size and file type.  Why does it reject some and accept others?

    Hi there. I'm having the same problem: my iPad won't import some photos from a folder, saying that they can't be read. They are all JPEGS and some photos taken at the same time have synched fine, but out of a folder with 200 photos, it only lets me synch 37. I'm synching albums created via Photoshop Elements 6, which has worked fine until now.
    I've tried deleting all photos and re-synching, and have also deleted the iPod Photo Cache, but it hasn't made a difference.
    The iPad auto-updated to the latest version of iTunes, so maybe that's what's causing it?
    Any advice gratefully received!

  • Why are some photos blurry on iweb?

    When I drop in crisp clear photos, they instantly look blurry, especially when I use the edges to reduce or enlarge the photo - even the smallest amount.
    I am using jpegs with a standard res of 640x480 - I have not encountered any problems in other applications when dropping in photos or making minor adjustments in the image size (through dragging) - why here? I am pulling the photos from ones I already have stored on my idisc (since they are already a smaller file size from the originals in my iphoto library).
    Anyone have any suggestions? I would like my web site to look as polished and professional as possible and blurry photos isn't helping that goal.
    Thanks,
    Bob

    I am getting blurry pictures too. I can't understand why. I edited the images in Photoshop, saved them as jpg's about 5X6 inches at 100 dpi, imported to iPhoto, dragged the images to my pages. Resulting images are not clear. Even after using the adjustment tool, some do not get sharp. I have tried sizing images to various sizes and resolutions without success. I have been customizing pages. Someone at Apple said that it must have something to do with the converter. I don't know. I just know that my originals are tack sharp and my pictures on iWeb leave a lot to be desired. Anyone have a cure for this? I am on an eMac running OSX 10.3.9. My work is published in B&W magazine this month and my web site has to be clear. See my web site for examples. http://www.RussAndMarciaMartin.com Some look good while others do not. If you look around, you will find blurry ones. I don't know why some are clear and others aren't.
    Thanks

  • Can anyone explain to me why some of my photos are landing in events and others are appearing only in photo stream?

    I want to delete photos from camera roll on my iPhone to clear space to install ios7 but after importing photos to iPhoto on my macbook pro only 4 out of 339 photos taken in September landed in events, though all 339 are in Sept photo stream. It seems like on previous uploads all photos "fell" into events according to the day they were taken, as well as into photostream. I want to make sure these photos stick around permanently and do not exist only in photo stream where I imagine they will eventually be bumped from my computer (photostream). Can anyone explain why some of my photos are landing in events and others are appearing only in photo stream?

    You have uploaded two different things - pHotos are in one and only one event - if you have the same photo in two different events then you have imported it twice
    Please explain what you want - your initial question and yoru current comments are 180 degrees apart
    You say they are not all in events
    Can anyone explain to me why some of my photos are landing in events and others are appearing only in photo stream?
    Now you say they are
    All 15 pics appear in  Sept 2013 PS
    It sound to me like you have no problem except you imported some photos twice adn you may not understand how the automatic import form PS works - but that is not clear
    you can choose to have all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically downloaded. In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, to select Photo Stream > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will be imported into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture.
    The event they are imported into is MMMM YYYY PS
    If you import via iTunes sync or by connecting your IOS device via USB then they are importeed into the regular event structrue as defined in your iphoto preferences - and if you imoport via two or more different methods you will ahe duplicates

  • Why do only some photos appear in iCloud folder on my PC and not all taken on iPhone appear on iPad either? All settings seem correct and new photos now seem to be appearing on all devices, but not all older or recent photos

    Why do only some photos appear in iCloud folder on my PC and not all taken on iPhone appear on iPad either? All settings seem correct and new photos now seem to be appearing on all devices, but not all older or recent photos, even if taken at same time. All advice greatly appreciated.

    First, to access documents you must use an app designed for that specific Document type. So Pages will not be able to open PDFs. The Documents app by Readdle can handle PDFs though. In the latter case, you'd open the app, click the menu icon at its top left, and click Open to go to your iCloud Drive. With Pages, if you had files outside the main Pages folder, click + then iCloud and navigate to the file's location.
