However, some face the issue of having two library sets. It’s not necessary because of the manner in which Photos import the files from the iPhoto Library. For once, you’re asking the question, “ Can I delete my iPhoto Library”? That’s because the migration left others to deal with this problem.
You can then find that event in the original library and just copy it over manually instead.Migration from iPhoto to Photos has given you some issues to deal with. That will show you where the force quit happened, and which event was being imported at the time. iPLM will note this in the log file that it generates though, so at the end of the operation, if you click the “View Log” button, you can search the log for the term “unexpectedly quit”. If iPhoto was importing an event worth of photos at the time, that event’s photos and/or their metadata will likely not have been imported successfuly into the destination library. If you do this in the middle of an iPhoto Library Manager operation, iPLM will see that iPhoto has quit and automatically relaunch it, then continue on with the rest of the copying operation. Select iPhoto in the list of applications and then click the “Force Quit” button to perform the force quit. In the cases above where force quitting iPhoto is necessary, you can do so by pressing command-option-escape, which will bring up the Force Quit window. The only thing to do in this case is to force quit iPhoto. As with many programs, iPhoto will occasionally hang completely and stop responding to mouse clicks or other input, displaying the infamous “spinning rainbow” cursor. iPhoto hangs and is totally unresponsive.The only option in this case is to force quit iPhoto.
Clicking the “Stop Import” button has no effect, and if you tell iPhoto to quit, it refuses, saying that there is still an import in progress. In this case, the “Importing Photos” screen is visible in the iPhoto window, but the progress bar indicating how many photos have been imported stops moving forward. iPhoto will occasionally have a problem where it will stall midway through importing a batch of photos. If you see such a window displayed by iPhoto, simply dismiss the error window, and that should get the photo copying process moving again.
#Iphoto library manager quit iphoto windows#
Unfortunately, there is no way to either prevent these windows from coming up in the first place, or to dismiss them automatically. As long as this error window is being displayed, iPhoto will not respond to further commands, and iPhoto Library Manager will not be able to continue on to import the next event’s worth of photos.
If iPhoto has trouble importing particular photos or movies, it can sometimes end up displaying an error window describing the problem it had, and what photos/movies it was unable to import. iPhoto is displaying an error message.The most common reason for this is that iPhoto itself is experiencing some problem that has caused it to stop responding to further commands from iPhoto Library Manager. Occasionally, when performing a long operation such as merging libraries or rebuilding a library, iPhoto Library Manager’s progress can reach a certain point and then just stop.
