Recently I was trying to access some photo’s from my Mum’s iPhoto library on her time machine backup, but my computer doesn’t have iPhoto, it has Photos App. When I tried to open the iPhoto library with the newer Photos App, it wanted to upgrade the entire iPhoto library. Here’s how to access an individual photo from an old iPhoto library.

How to Transfer Photos and Videos from iPhoto to iCloud Drive on Mac? ICloud Drive is a secure place to access all of your photos, videos and documents from Mac, Windows PC and iOS device. It allows you to store any type of file in your account. Feb 19, 2016 After rebuilding, copy that rebuilt iPhoto Library to the Pictures of your new Mac. Then hold down Option key and open Photos. Choose Library and from the list, choose the iPhoto Library (rebuilt one). Solution 2 (will definitely work): On new Mac, go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there.

If you go to your home directory, there is a folder called ‘Pictures’ where Apple stores all your photos. If you have used iPhoto, then in the ‘Pictures’ folder there will be a file called ‘iPhoto Library’. It appears as one file. Don’t do this, but if you were to click it then it would try to open in iPhoto, or Photos. Instead, if you hold down the control key while you click, you will see an option called ‘Show Package Contents.’ Click on this.

Now you will see all kinds of files. Find the one called ‘Originals’ and click on it.

Now you will see a new folder with a lot of years. Click on a year, then a month, and you will see all the pictures from your iPhoto library from that month. You can then open the photos one by one, copy them, or do what you like with each picture.

The photo’s are arranged in folders under the years and months they were taken.

This helped me restore my iPhoto Library after a upgrade that lost all connections with my original photos.

Thank you- Finally! a clear description of this. I have to say, Windows (and I am a Mac person) makes this MUCH easier.

Thank you, Lee

There was no “show package contents” option when I pressed “control” while clicking “Library.iPhoto”. Please advise. Thanks.

Hi. I have another setup when showing package. It seems most picture are stored in the “Master” folder, but I can not find all because of date problems who made all pictures from 2010 and 11 are stored as 2000, and not showing up in Master folder.
