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.

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.
