We are having a hard time reproducing the bugs you are encountering on our devices. Hello, thank you for your valuable feedback. Even though you have new versions available, I don't see any updates available (unless it automatically downloaded the most recent update when I redownloaded it from the App Store). I'm very frustrated with this app that was working for me in the past! PLEASE HELP. Nothing is new about this app except the ICloud downloader since the time I deleted it before. The compression wheel just keeps turning but doesn't compress. But I am still getting 0 kB to save at top right for each section of pictures when I try to compress the selected files. I used the iCloud Downloader within your app & downloaded the files. I had deleted this app for a couple months for this very reason & just now re-downloaded it. But when I try to compress videos or photographs, it tells me it will only compress what is not in iCloud. Select the photos or videos you want to remove, click, then click Remove. In Photos on, click an album in the sidebar to view its contents. It still remains in Photos on and on any device that has iCloud Photos turned on. If you now have a problem with iPhoto I would just restore the iPhoto library from the backup you made before starting this process! (You'll be back to square 1, yes, but at least iPhoto will look proper again.)Īs you can see you still have to go through each album, but at least you can see the file size of every file within that album all at once without having to inspect each photo and video individually.This app used to work well. Deleting a photo or video from an album removes it from the album only.If you're comfortable with how everything looks you can now move that folder on your Desktop to the Trash and empty the Trash to regain the hard drive space.Relaunch iPhoto and ensure that everything is working correctly (and notice that the files you moved are gone!).Move any files you no longer wish to keep to a new folder on your Desktop.

Once you've located an album arrange files by size using Finder's view menu.Folders are broken down by date and subfolders are usually by album.Locate the 'Masters' folder in the list and open it.Locate your iPhoto library (default file path is usually ~/Pictures/iPhoto library).I would also STRONGLY suggest backing up your iPhoto library before trying this method. It's likely not as fast as you were hoping for as you have to go date by date (which I guess isn't helpful if every video was taken/imported on a different day), but it might be faster than examining the metadata for each and every photo/video within iPhoto within these albums (depending on your situation).īe very careful not to delete or move anything while in this folder other than the photos/videos you wish to get rid of otherwise you could break the library file. In a round-about way it can be done - although not from right within the iPhoto GUI - if you know the approximate dates or album names on the files you would like to delete.
