![]() ![]() MS-Windows from 3.11 through W95, W98 and 98SE, ME, XP, Win 7 and 10,.I am familiar with the following Operating System: I have built 50 or 60 computers since then from bare-metal components. I built my first computer, a Motorola MK-6800 in 1977, it could only be programmed in Assembler, and it stored programs on an audio cassette player using standard audio cassettes. Programs were stored on punched cards in those days. I started using computers in 1973 with a PDP-11/10 running the operating system RT-11, and connected to a mainframe 400 miles away. If your experience is significantly "more" than mine I might bow to your proficiency.įirstly I am an engineer and a competent computer user. However to help in assessing this I have listed my experience below. That is an interesting proposition because when I make make my comments and suggestions I do not know if "people" are "more experienced" than me or not. You suggest that before I "challenge more experienced people" I should. I have used both Windows and Linux to read many different iPhoto libraries and restore all of the photos that they contained, and save them to other places. If you have a computer with Linux installed, Linux will be able to read the HFS+ drive easily. Paragon makes a very good HFS+ file system reader. If the drive that contains the backup is formatted to Fat32 or ExFat, Windows should be able to read the drive as soon as you plug it in, BUT if the Backup drive is formatted to the Mac default File System of HFS-Plus, you will need to install other software to enable Windows to read the HFS+ file system. HOWEVER, the File System of the external drive where you made your Backup is important. If you edited any photos they will be in a folder called Modified, or some other name that is similar to Modified, but means the same thing. Your photos will be in sub-folders under the Originals folder or the Masters folder. You will find a sub-folder called either Originals or Masters (depending on which version of iPhoto was used to create the iPhoto library). When you open that Folder you will find many sub-folders. On a Windows computer the iPhoto library will appear in Windows Explorer as a Folder with the same name as the iPhoto library. People who say you cannot do it are wrong. The real answer is that you can get to your photos easily on a Windows computer and copy them easily to any folder (directory) you want. Is there some software which I can use to open the Library with? Also, I don't have any Apple computer anymore. It seems not possible to open the Library on Windows. Now, I want to open my backup iPhoto Library on Microsoft computer. ![]() Your old Events are imported as albums, and placed in the iPhoto Events folder ④.On December 7th 2017 DIPSAUS (Floris) asked the following question and received many answers that were unhelpful, misleading or just plain wrong. Instead, files in your Photos library are always displayed chronologically. Events: iPhoto’s concept of Events is gone in Photos.Geotags: All location data transfers to Photos.If the sidebar is visible, you’ll see a Faces entry in the Albums list. Faces: If you used iPhoto’s Faces feature, you’ll find it at the top level of the Albums pane, next to All Photos.Projects: Projects, including books, slideshows, and calendars, appear in the Projects pane (or section, if the sidebar is visible).You can access them via the Albums pane or, if the sidebar is visible, under the Albums section. Albums: All your iPhoto albums and smart albums should migrate seamlessly to Photos.Here’s a guide to what gets imported, and what has changed during the transition. Making the MoveĪpple has endeavored to transfer your data from iPhoto to Photos, even though several features (Events, star ratings) no longer exist. Now there are two different files, both taking up disk space, living independently.įor Mac users accustomed to the a-file-is-a-file approach of the Finder, this one’s a bit of a head-scratcher, but it’s a smart move by Apple to allow us to migrate to Photos without duplicating an entire library and eating all of our free disk space-or worse, never bothering to upgrade to Photos because we don’t have the room. Basically, the act of modifying a hard-linked file (in either library) will cause the link to break. So what happens if you edit one of those files? Something clever, it turns out: if I use Photos to edit a file imported from iPhoto, the version in the Photos library is altered-but the version in the old iPhoto library remains untouched. ③ The libraries say they’re roughly the same size, but in fact, they’re sharing disk space via hard links. ![]()
