140MB of photos in "modified" folder, but didn't modify any of them?

I just recently upgraded to '09. I uploaded my first batch of photos the other day. It was a lot, about 1.4GB from a trip I took. I happened to be looking in the package contents for something else, but stumbled up the modified folder for the photos I had just uploaded. I had looked at them in iPhoto but had not adjusted any...not one. In fact, I don't typically edit in iPhoto, but rather in Photoshop. Anyway, the modified folder that coincides with the originals folder has 143MB worth of photos! Why? I didn't modify a single one? Projecting into the future, if this sort of behavior continues, I'll quickly start gobbling up HD space for what is, from what I can tell, no reason. Why on earth would I have 143MB's of modified photo when I hadn't modified a single one? Any clue how/why this would happen?

Yes. It's best, IMO, to upload from the camera to a folder on the Desktop where you can preview and losslessly rotate those photos needing it with the free applicationXee before importing the folder into iPhoto.
If you name the folder to identify the shoot the resulting Event in iPhoto will have the same name. This workflow will also give you the opportunity to sequentially batch rename the files to something more informative than IMG_XXX with an application likeName Mangler. I use the international date format and a brief description like this: 2009-09-06-Labor Day-001.jpg.

    I tried that to be honest. The best thing is, the albums I want to delete aren't even on my iMac!!!!! So not even there to deselect?? Not a clue?

    After you set up your service use your repair ID to track your replacement here:

    Remember: You will receive a replacement unit approximately 6 weeks after Apple gets your current iPod nano
    Hope this helps.

    creative cloud does not use a serial number.
    you download the cc desktop app (Creative Cloud Help | Creative Cloud for desktop) and then install your software using the same adobe id used to pay for your subscription.

  • Some of my photos show in iPhoto but when i double click on them, they show a warning sign.What happened?

    This is in iPhoto 11. Mac OS X 10.7.1
    The pictures are visible, but can't do anything with them. No printing or editing and I looked under the info and it doesn't give me any clues. When and how did that happen?

    As we can't see your machine we have no idea why this happened.
    Time Machine can back up material on external drives.
    No idea why rebuilding "isn't an option" in your case.
    You might want to reconsider your back up routine. You don't need Library Manager to duplicate your Library, you can simply use the Finder for that.
    Most Simple Back Up
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex:
    Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate

    i got an email about recent purchased but i am really concern about that cause i didn't purchase any of them

    Beware this is a common phishing scam: you get an authentic-looking email saying your account has been charged - usually a significant amount of money, to get your attention - and "click here" to confirm. Don't do that.
    Check your purchase history as King_Penguin wrote. If the purchase does not appear, delete the email and forget about it.

  • I'm editing a lot of wedding photos.  For some reason, I have to double click on some of the photos to actually see my changes.  It is not the case for all the photos in the folder.... only some of them.  How can I make all the edited versions show?

    I am editing a bunch of wedding photos.  Everything has been fine until today..... I opened up the folder, and for some of the edited photos, I have to double click in order to see the edited version.  So, when I look at all the photos in the browser, some of then show my changes..... others don't.  I'm worried, because I will have to post them for the bride, and I am concerned about why this is happening.  I still have the images on the memory card and also have a duplicate of all the photos in iphoto..... but I've spent hours editing these photos...... and I really don't want to start all over again.

  • Photos show in finder, but won't let me select them...

    For some reason I can't access some of my photos - when the finder window opens and I click on Photos, I can see the thumbnail of the picture in iphoto but the file name/number is a light gray color instead of in black. (I did not delete photos).  Any ideas?

    What Finder window? Are these images in iPhoto?
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

    Hello can somebody please help me... I don't use my adobe creative cloud anymore so I would like to cancel it.

    Hello,
    did you already use Adobe's website Return, cancel, or exchange an Adobe order or where you can get Phone support | Orders, returns exchanges
    If still necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences. I quote from Adobe's employee Preran: The chat button is activated as soon as there is an agent available to help.
    On the other hand you have to look at Subscription Terms >>> http://www.adobe.com/misc/subscription_terms.html to see the conditions for a (early) cancellation.
