Photos appear in screen saver but i can't find them!

I have my screesaver set to show photos from users/user/pictures. the only items in that folder are an empty photo booth folder and my iphoto library. after organizing my photos and events, pictures i'm not aware of are showing up in my screen saver. i've looked all over in iphoto and can't find them. 'edit smart album' is not selectable ( i assume i have no smart albums), and 'show hidden photos' is selected. where could they be?

In the screensaver, iphoto is not bolded - i cannot select it. It seems you are trying to help me isolate the folder to make sure that that is where the hidden photos are. I played around for awhile trying to select just the iphoto folders, but screensaver is not cooperating. My instinct is that the photos are hidden somewhere in iphoto, unless they are somehow in the photo booth folder that appears empty. Thanks for your help!

I lost my iPhone and I was hoping that my photos were being saved to iCloud, but I can't find them anywhere. I read that iCloud saves them for thirty days, but where?

You are referring to Photo Stream. Photo Stream syncs the photos taken with your device to all of your device.
It's not a photo storage service, so photos are deleted 30 days after being added to Photo Stream. You can't access to your Photo Stream photos from http://www.icloud.com, but only from an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch (using the Photos app), Mac (using iPhoto '11 or Aperture 3 with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion) or PC (with iCloud Control Panel).
In all of these devices, you have the option of copying them to the device, so they will be kept after 30 days

Did you ever restore your last iCloud backup? That contains you camera roll photos & videos, text messages, app data, settings, etc. It will also redownload your apps and other purchased media.
If you didn't, follow the steps in this article to restore the backup: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521.

I just upgraded to the iPhone 6 and before I delete my old phone, I want to make sure all my photos were in icloud, but I can't find them anywhere. Why? I know it may take weeks to download my 14,000 pics, but I want to make sure they're there.

Extract the photos from the phone to your computer like you would with any other digital camera.
PhotoStream is NOT permanent storage and iCloud photos is in beta, meaning it's not fully cooked yet and you may lose data stored in it.

I downloaded the Vevo and Cityville apps, and iTunes says they're on my iPod, but I can't find them. Is there some place they go on the iPod?

Try using the Spotligh search feature on the iPod. To get there, swipe the Home screen fully to the right.
Also, if they are Games, they could be in the Game Center.folder

I have some loops from acid 5 which I have dragged in a folder to the loop browser. Some of them retain the folder name in the View: and some don't. I have had some that seem to go in but I can't find them. Where should I look?

I have some loops from acid 5 which I have dragged in a folder to the loop browser. Some of them retain the folder name in the View: and some don't. I have also had some that seem to go in but I can't find them. If I try to add them again, I get a msg that they are already there. Where should I look?

It may be best to recreate the folder and the smart playlists from scratch.

Please help me to find my iPad and iPhone 5C. I lost all of them last night. I set up icloud for my devices but i can't find them because they were not connect to the Internet. Please guide me other ways to find my "best friends".

Dear Apple,
Please help me to find my iPad Air 2 64 GB and iPhone 5C 8GB. They're in IOS 8.0 maybe...I lost all of them last night. I set up icloud for my devices but i can't find them because they were not connect to the Internet. Please guide me other ways to find my "best friends". They're very important to me. Many important files for my job in here and it has sentimental value to me. My boyfriend gave it for me so i don't want to lose them. And because i just lost my iPad Air last 3 month, and now i just bought iPad Air 2 two months ago. I'm so sad and lost. I want to catch the thief to the police so bad because they keep my bag and many other important things. I can not do anything without them. Please help me and contact me via my email or my phone. Thank you very much. Hope to receive your answer soon.

HT203167 Hi, I've purchased a few films from itunes (and they are listed as Purchased in my account), but I can't find them on my computer or on my itunes account, and itunes wants me to pay for them again. How do I get around this?

Hi, I've purchased a few films from itunes (and they are listed as Purchased in my account), but I can't find them on my computer or my itunes account, and itunes wants me to pay for them again. How do I get around this? I've tried all the suggestions, and it's hugely frustrating.

If you are in the UK, and the film studio allows re-downloading, and you are signed in with the same account that you bought them with, then they might show under the Purchased link under Quinklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page for re-downloading - if they don't show then check to see if they are hidden (hiding and unhiding).
But you should be keeping and maintaining your own backup of your downloads and noy rely on being able to re-download any item as they are occasionally removed from the store by the content provider (film studio, tv company, record company etc).

I bought songs on my laptop which synced to my iphone and iPad. But I can't find them on itunes library on my home computer. However, when I click download for the same song it says it has already been purchased. How do I find it on home computer?

Is your "home computer" the same as your laptop or are these two different machines?

I downloaded some podcasts, but I can't find them. Where are they?

I just downloaded 17 podcasts episodes. The iTunes confirms that they're in the iPhone (4S), but I can't find them.
I already looked in the "Music" section, "More", etc. But the "Podcasts" item it's no there. Neither in the "Video" section.
Do I need an app to make they work?
Where they could be?
Thanks!
Ana C.

They are no longer supported in the Music app. You need to download the Podcast app from the App store. It is free.

Unread mails - but I can't find them!

My IMAP account is showing that their are 6 unread mails, but I can't find them in the inbox. Any idea why this is?

Sorry, "Message Status" not "Unread Mails".
You'll find it in View >> Sort By >> Message Status. Or by clicking on the dot between the flag- and from-field above the list of received mails.

Me too!!! It says check your Downloads, but unable to find Downloads...

I want to delete some photos of the user pictures. Where can I find them?

I want to delete some photos of the user pictures. Where can I find them?
I mean those pictures, which come on when clicking on the user-picture, here "latest".

Unfortunately I don't speak German.
Go back to Recents (Letzte), select a picture, and then hit the delete key. Delete all that you want to. At this point the 'Done' button will be grayed out.
Click the Show All button at the top left.
Then go back to see if the user pictures were removed. It worked for me.

Inbox says I have unread messages but I can't find them

My inbox says I have 45 unread messages (and the number gets higher every day) but I can't find them. I have gone through all my emails but everything has been read. How do I fix this?

This was driving me crazy as well. Here is how I solved it:
1. Right click on Inbox and Mark all as read
2. Go to each subfolder and Mark All Read
3. Run outlook.exe /cleanviews (enter it in Start panel to run this command)
4. Close Outlook and restart as Administrator
5. Again Mark all read (repeat in subfolders)
6. Close and restart normally
The unread count disappeared. No clue where this ghostly email resided, but given that I checked
all subfolders, I feel ok that I did not miss anything. Be sure to check your rules too, in case you are moving incoming messages and don't remember setting up such a rule.
Good luck!
