One thought on “ How to Export Your Mac Photos Library ”. At 12:32 am You may want to be careful to check the Mac Photos app is not set to ‘optimise library’, in which case not all photos reside on the local drive but may be stored in iCloud Library instead, with only a low-res preview in the local library.

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.

1. 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. If you go to your home directory, there is a folder called ‘Pictures’ where Apple stores all your photos.
2. Google Photos has a 'Auto Backup' feature which allows you to backup photos and videos automatically. You just need to turn ON 'Back up & sync'. You will see your photos and videos from Google Photos in Google Drive. Google Photos has a 'Google Photos library' where you can see uploaded photos and videos using Google Photos or Google+.

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.

ReplyMike McDevittsays:February 26, 2020 at 2:47 pm

Awesome. I followed each step than dragged the “masters” folder to my desktop and all photos easy to open.
