Where does mail store downloaded photos

Where does mail store downloaded photos?

If I understood you... you can export your entire iPhoto library to an external Hard Drive? I could only see import option...
You're welcome. Yes, that is correct. In iPhoto, File > Export... > Select external drive.
You said your drive has to be specially formatted - is that for if you want to export your photos to that drive? Or do you mean if you wanted the iPhoto library to be located primarily on the hard drive?
I meant the latter > specifically, your external drive would need to be formatted in this manner if you wanted your primary iPhoto library to reside on an external drive and function correctly. This format is the format of your MBP's internal drive.
Format the drive as FAT32 using disk utility to make the drive universally compatible between OSX/windows. Place the JPEG images on the drive. Transfer between machines with no problem.

  • Where does Mail store its todos?

    Where does Mail store its todos? I'm trying to restore lost todos from time machine. help!

    I also found my to-do's for my imap account in /Users/<username>/Library/Calendars/(long letters-numbers name).imap/(long letters-numbers name).calendar/Events/(long letters-numbers name).ics.
    In addition, I found to-do's created in iCal in /Users/<username>/Library/Calendars/(long letters-numbers name).calendar/Events/(long letters-numbers name).ics. Scroll through the files in the events folders, find the date created or due date of the to-do and double click it. It will take you to the to-do in iCal.
    In general, the to-do's will be in the Events folder of the Calendar they were created in. The iMap to-do's add another layer to the file structure.

  • Where does Mail store its email files

    hi there, I'm having a bit of an email crisis.
    background: I have a MacBook Pro circa 2012 running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 with over 28 or 29GB of free space.
    For email, I have a primary address through Cox Cable and some secondary Cox Cable email accounts for junk mail and the like.  Recently, there was some recurring difficulty retrieving the Cox emails.  The Mail program would open up and look for the Cox Cable email accounts and variously fail to connect with any of them.  The Mail program would tell me that it was unable to access the account and suggest I enter my password.
    I decided to delete the accounts and set them up again to see if doing so would grab the most current SMTP settings, etc..  Doing so, I may have accidentally deleted from local storage (on my computer) my old archive of sent and received mail (going back to 2006).  More on that later.
    When establishing the settings in Mail for the cox accounts, I left the feature on where Mail would leave the the emails on my Cox email server (which only uses 7% of its space currently).  This seemed to correct the retrieval errors I was getting before.  Something else strange happened.  Sometimes when I would send mail, it would send, I'd hear the whooshing sound, but it would not store a copy of it in my sent email folder.  In most cases, the recipients confirmed receipt.  This would only happen with some sent mail.  Others would be deposited into the Sent mail folder in Mail as usual.
    Questions:
    (1) Where does OS X store the Mail email files?  I can't find any folder with an xbox file or any other file.
    (2) How can I find out if my missing email archive doesn't exist somewhere else on my laptop right now and my Mail program can't find it.
    (2) If I well and truly deleted the archive not only from my Mail program but also from my laptop, am I able to import my email archive from my external hard drive where it was backed up?  I'd like to leave the archive in an archive folder in Mail so that I can see it and search it when necessary without having to plug in my external drive and also so there are two copies of this email archive.
    Any advice you can provide will be very much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    hi.  update.  I found the hidden Library folder where the mbox email files are located as follows:
    click on your finder to open it
    click the GO command from the drop down menu and before clicking again press and hold down the option key.  that reveals in the Go drop-down menu the hidden Library folder.  Click on that Library folder to open it.
    from there, look for a sub folder called Mail
    click on that and see a sub folder called V2. 
    click on that and you'll find subfolders for the email accounts you've established, inside which are the .mbox files that represent those email databases. 
    however, once inside there, I found no .mbox files for the old archived files and so I think that I goofed and well and truly deleted the old POP emails when switching from POP to IMAP about two weeks back.
    the good news is that I was backing up somewhat regularly via Time Machine to an external drive.  So I recovered the old POP emails into an separate INBOX and SENT MAIL archive that now sits again on my Mac in my Mail program, somewhere below the active mail folders I use daily. 
    The POP email protocol was lately prone to these 'unable to access' and 'please enter your password' messages and that's what prompted me to try to change my settings.  When I did, I must have found that Cox email now supports IMAP for residential customers and made the switch from POP to IMAP, inadvertently deleting the old POP email.
    The IMAP protocol resolved the 'unable to access' and 'please enter your password' messages that Mail used to give me under the POP protocol.  But left the problem of certain sent mails not being stored immediately in my local sent mail folder on my Mac.
    unresolved questions are:
    i generally liked switching from POP to IMAP because my email on my phone and laptop are more apt to be in sync and coordinated, and it resolved the connection/password problems I had with POP.  I'd like to keep on IMAP.  I have experienced the occasional missing sent mail.  So far as I can tell, when sending the email from my laptop, I hear the swoosh of sent mail and the recipients do receive it but a copy if not always delivered into my local sent mail folder.  a copy of it is stored on the Cox email server, however. 
    any workaround that issue?  It leaves me wondering sometimes whether the mail was sent or received and I also need a record of all email sent on my laptop for future reference. 
    is it possible this missing sent mail only happens when there are attachments?  it doesn't happen every time.  I've noticed it has happened when I've sent emails with attachments.
    any help you can give is appreciated!

  • Where does iCloud store my photos on my PC?

    If iCloud is a replacement for me connecting my iPhone4S to my iTunes for backup and downloading my pictures on my PC. Then where are the photos that I backup to iCloud with my photostream on in the settings of my iPhone4S? When I go to iCloud.com, there is no Icon to see the photos that are supposedly backed up. This is a waste of time for me, and the money I spent to get more storage if I have to connect my iPhone4S to my PC in order to backup my photos, and to see my photos on my PC.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Some answers may be here - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
    Do you have the iCloud control Panel ver. 1.1 installed?
    Your photo's should be in
    C:\Users\Apple\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream
    You can change this location by visiting Photo Stream Options in the iCloud Control Panel for Windows.

  • Where does Mail store its passwords?

    HI there, I am running into little trouble with mail here.
    Can anybody tell me, where it stores the passwords for my account?
    is it in preferences or in keychain somewhere?
    thanks!

    Hi Alexander,
    It depends how you setup your system ... in the language I mean.
    If you for example are a German than it would called something like "Slußel ..." or Dutsh "Sleutelhangertoegang" and you will find it in the Utilities folder.
    Hope this will help you.

  • Where does iPhoto store my photos/, where does iPhoto store my photos?

    I want to know where to locate all the pictures I've downloaded to Iphoto so I can organize them to folders outside of Iphoto, I want to use Aperature and maybe Bridge by Adobe to organize them in the future. I have over 30,000 pictures I've taken now. When I look in harddrive under pictures it is only showing me 1000 pictures. Where is Iphoto stashing the rest of them?
    Thanks in advance for any info!

    You can use any connection - firewire, USB, Network or even drag the iPhoto library to an external drive and then move it to the other computer
    My Passport is now out of space
    what exctly does this mean?
    and I have a time capsule for back ups (Only for the Imac). Can the time capsule be used for an external hard drive as well - ie. to transfer the Iphoto library?
    Sort of - you cancan not use it as an external drive since Time Machine will eventaually totally fill it locking all other uses out  --  you can use it (if there is space available) to move a file between systems on a one shot basis - the TC is simply an external drive - it is the software (Time Machine) that makes using it as an EHD impossible
    Would I be better off just buying an external hard drive larger that the passport to move between machines?
    If your current EHD is too small for what you want to use it for then yes, the solulition is to get a large enough one

  • Where does Mac store iMessage photos?

    I'm trying to help a frind delete the photos from her iMessage (just the photos, because they may be taking up precious storage). Are they actually stored on the hard drive, or are they kept on the server and downloaded only when needed? If the latter is the case, is there an easily located temp folder containing them?

    From awesome Apple Stackexchange:
    On the Mac, messages and photos (or any other attachment) are automatically synced between devices and stored in ~/Library/Messages/Archives and ~/Library/Messages/Attachments.

  • Where does pacman stores downloaded programs?

    I am trying to use Grip  but need to find the path for lame  I used pacman -S lame  now i need to link the encoder excutable to the full path were lame was placed by pacman
    Thanks

    Pacman downloads packages to /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ by default. Pacman then unpacks them and installs them on your system. If you need to find the full path to an executable, use the "which" command:
    which lame
    That will display the full path to lame. To see the full path to all files belonging to lame, you could do this:
    pacman -Ql lame

  • Where does mavericks store photo files

    where does mavericks store photo files.

    where does mavericks store photo files.
    This will depend on how the photos are imported to your Mac.
    For photos, that you import to your iPhoto library see Terence Devlin's excellent user tips: 
    iPhoto and File Management
    How to Access Files in iPhoto
    For downloaded files see Niel's answer, and for many other applications you are free to pick a folder in the finder to store the photos.  The default folder, where most applications will look for photos is your Pictores fold run your Home folder.

  • Where does Iphoto store ratings, arrangement of photos, events, libraries?

    Hi, I currently have Leopard, I was planning on doing a clean install with Snow Leopard soon. Afterwards I plan on restoring Iphoto back to the way it was. I have a 70 gb library and importing my photos, rearranging the events, photos, and libraries would take ages if I had to start from scratch. I have my whole computer backed up using Carbon Copy Cloner. My question is where does Iphoto store the ratings, manual arrangement of photos, events, libraries, etc? Thanks

    iPhoto is a relational database program and everything is stored in the iPhoto library - it must be treated as a single entity - it is not possible to isolate components in it - simply drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the clone back to the pictures folder of the main computer
    To test prior to doing an erase and install (the Mac does not have a "clean install") you can depress the option key and launch iPhoto and select the backup copy and test it - be sure to do an option launch and paint back to the main library afterwards

    Where does Messages store attachments on the iPad?
    some photos are quite large, so it would be good to know where they go, and how to manage the app.... ;)

    Managing memory usage is not possible because the user does not have access to the file structure (unless you have jail broken your iPad that is).
