This will create an entirely new library. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
(In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. Is there any program i can get that would allow me to get rid of all the copies? Like iphoto Library iPhoto Library Managerand use its rebuild function. I can restore my iphoto library but chances are it's going to put all that extra stuff into my iphoto library and just confuse the **** out of me like it did before. That's why they are numbered like that (635_2jpg, 635_3jpg, 635_4jpg etc). I mean there is no way it should do that right? What's the point of having 6 and 7 copies of the same folder containing the same photos? A normal iphoto library would not have this? I've done that with all my dragging and dropping right? It's duplicating folders and photos because i am adding what are essentially copies. I think i've destroyed what it should look like. It's slow and acts up when using applications especially Safari but i didn't realise iphoto was as bad as this. I think my imac has a bug or something which is why I am looking into all this. Some of the folders you open up and there is one photo but then you open up the same folder after you've closed it and it has 11 photos in it, five of one and six of the other. I have six and seven copies of the same folders. I hear you loud and clear but i think it's too late. I just want to make sure that my library will look the same as it does after i wipe my imac's drive. I'm sure it used to be 'pictures>iphoto library>photos> and then the rest of the folders were visible. I have to 'show package contents' to get in to see the folders. My iphoto library is under 'pictures>iphoto library' which is a star shape. Is that the correct way to get my photos back into iphoto? My library is backed up on two 2TB drives and when i re-introduce my photos to my computer i will go into one of those drives and drag my library into the pictures folder. Larry, i spoke to you when that happened and I'm trying to stop this from happening again. There has been photos missing and a lot of videos in the wrong place. It's just i have done this before and the library hasn't taken shape as it should. I don't import like i do when bringing new photos into iphoto from a camera. I know what you both mean about there being more than the actual quantity in the library and i haven't deleted or moved anything inside it.Īnd when i say importing i mean to drag and drop the iphoto library into my pictures folder after i have re-installed my software. I have deleted my trash in iphoto which was 6400 photos! I forgot to empty it for a while.
DEFAULT LIBRARY IN IPHOTO LIBRARY MANAGER HOW TO
Plus i don't want to bring back 232GB, i only want the actual iphoto library back.ĭoes anyone know a way to only bring back my actual iphoto library and how to go about cleaning up the files and folders? I'm about to wipe my hard drive and give the computer a fresh start as it's giving me problems but after that, if i import my iphoto library back into my computer who knows what it will do. And some are named '023_2jpg, or 023_4jpg' like they are duplicates but they are different photos. And inside all of them are photos but all from different time periods.
When i go into the folders to see what's in them everything is all upside down and completely mixed up, for instance i go into '2014' and there are named folders which is fine but then i have folders numbered '03-12' and inside each of them is random numbered folders like '3454784-63899'. Okay, i have 21,563 photos and 1500 videos (186GB) in iphoto right now, but when i check without opening iphoto by checking the size of the files it says it is 34,355 photo items at 232.67GB. Firstly i should say that I've had problems with my iphoto library before but i thought i had fixed it with the help of you kind people.
