Where are my pictures stored? I can't find the directory

Where is your iPhoto library? I can't find it

By default the Library is in your Pictures Folder. It's a Package - so it looks like a single file in the Finder.

I have an I pad2, an iMac desktop(2012) and an I phone 5, how do I get them all to be able to face time with each other, do I need different email addresses, use the phone number, or the sim number in the iPad ? Any help gratefully received !!

Graham,
For the iPad, iMac you need to create verifyible e-mail addresses created with one of the providers such as Yahoo, Gmail,etc. For the iphone you should use it's phone number, but an e-mail could be used for it too. If you want to associate these e-mail addresses with a single ID, I'm including a link to give you info about how you can do that. Read it carefully, as it can be a bit confusing.

If your iPhone was hacked/jailbroken to use a different carrier then the update locks it back again to the original carrier.

Send it back to him and have him unlock the phone for you so you can use it with your carrier.

Where is the desktop picture stored if you set it from the finder?

I've read several discussions here asking where this is stored but none of them address the location when you use the Finder to set a desktop picture. I've looked in all Libary folders and Safari and can't find it. How can I locate it?

Finder takes the actual directory of the picture you set as a desktop background and the "com.apple.desktop.plist" file in ~/Library/Preferences points to the directory of the picture you set as the desktop background. It's not stored in any other folder

Why are my pictures green after itunes uploaded them to the iPhone5 and iPad 3?

Hello all,
Thank you for your time as i have ran into a strange problem with iTunes 10.7.0.21. Photos being synchronized to my iPhone 5 and iPad 3 are becoming green when iTunes is used to synchronize the folders. The system used is a Windows 7 X64 Sp1 with iTune 10.7.0.21. Previously i used a iPod (second generation) which is now being replaced by something more advanced. Once i synchronized the photos they all showed greenish whereas i have reached out to apple care without success in resolving the problem.
To fix the problem the following troubleshooting steps were performed:
1. Restore the iPhone 5 using iTunes 10.7.0.21 to it's defaults and resynchronize the photo library ( No Change - still green )
2. Remove the iPod Photo Cache from the disk and started resynchronization ( No Change - still green )
3. Remove the iPod Photo Cache from the disk and Restore the iPhone 5 using iTunes 10.7.0.21 to it's defaults and resynchronize the photo library ( No Change - still green )
4. Reinstalled windows 7 and iTunes 10.7.0.21, Remove the iPod Photo Cache from the disk and Restore the iPhone 5 using iTunes 10.7.0.21 to it's defaults and resynchronize the photo library ( No Change - still green )
I have ran out of options and would like to learn if more people have the same problem; and how they resolved the problem if possible?!
The following image is the image that is being synchronized to my iPhone:
This is the original photo:

I think iPhoto for iOS is designed to optimize photos for use on sharing sites like Facebook and photobucket. Supposedly sharing the photos to iTunes will allow you to copy them over to your computer at full size. She then to iTunes after editing them and before doing anything else with them.
The iPad optimizes photos when they are imported via the sync process. This downsizes them before they even get to iPhoto for you to edit them. Importing the photos directly from the camera using a Camera Connection Kit keeps them at their original size. iPhoto will work on photos up to 20 mp.

Iphone 3gs is broken and want to put the sim in my old iphone 3....how do i get the old phone to recognise the sim

can anyone help...my iphone 3 gs 16gb is knackered. i want to use the old iphone 3 we have but it wont recognise the sim. its on o2 the same as the old phone was, but the number / sim is different than it was when i was using the old phone.

HT4623 my new i phone 5 say the sim card u inserted i this i phone in not sported but i put in another one the sim card work what can i do for this

i buy anew i phone 5 from ksa from karfor market to use in egypt
when i insert the sim inside i the i phon dosnt work and say the the sim card inserted in this i phone is not supported
so i try the sim in another i phone it work
what can i do for this proplem

The iphone where the sim didn't work is probably locked to a carrier. You need to contact the carrier of that phone. If it's unlocked, then I'm not sure what the problem is, given that the sim works in another phone.

Does "Find my Phone" work off the SIM card or is it tied to the IMEI?

My phone has been misplaced or stolen. Does find my iphone work off the SIM card. if the SIM card has been removed, will Find my Phone still work, provided the phone is on?

If the SIM card has been removed and the device has no active internet connection, then FMiP will not work, at least not immediately. If the device gets connected to wi-fi or to cellular data, then the FMiP will work again. That Activation Lock, however, doesn't require an internet connection.

Where are my pictures stored on the hard drive when I import them into Aperture?

I imported pictures into Aperature under the project name Christmas 2012. When I went into Finder to see where the pictures were actually placed on my hard disk, the folder didn't show up anywhere. These are new photos that I added to my hard drive.
I then thought I would do a file search on some of the photos. One picture's file name was IMG_2260. When I searched All My Files for this file, it produced two different photos with the exact same file name IMG_2260!
Now I'm really confused! Any help would be appreciated.

. It just seems strange to me to not be able to find the actual photos with Finder.
The actual photos do not exist as image files, until you export them. The only images that do exist are the originals that you import into Aperture. When you adjust images, enhance them, crop them, Aperture will only store the command, but not actually create the edited version.
That has three advantages:
Aperture saves space, because only the original image is stored.
Aperture can easily undo any operation and you have a lossless workflow.
Many adjustments can be accumulated into one operation and done very precisely, because the image need not to be rendered to 8Bit or 16 Bit versions in between. Only the final version needs to be encoded as image file.
So, since the edited images do only exist in a state of limbo, you do not see them in the library as images.

When you search for the originals with Spotlight or file search from the Finder, you may find the originals and previews of edited versions, that Aperture creates to share with the Media Browser. In addition to exporting the images, you can access them using the Media Browser from all applications that are compatible with iLife: Mail, Pages, Keynote, iWeb, ...

Where are Recent Pictures Stored in Settings Users & Groups?

I'm trying to clear the tiles of recently used pictures - how can I do this?

Found it!

I recently updated my new iPhone by plugging it in to my laptop. However, it erased all of the texts, contacts and pictures associated with my phone prior to the update. How do I get that information back?

I owned an iPhone 4s a year ago before I unfortunately lost it. I have since then bought the iPhone 5 but had not plugged it in to my computer yet to download any music. I plugged in my iPhone today to my laptop and my iTunes store stated that it registered that it was a new iPhone and asked if I wanted to restore or update my new iPhone with the information that was backed up on my old one. I chose yes, that I did want to restore the old information in to my new iPhone. However, now that I did that, my new iPhone does not have any of the contacts, texts or pictures that I had already on my new iPhone.
I desperately want my information back that was lost on my new iPhone when I updated the phone. Is there any way to get those pictures and information back? I logged in to my iCloud account and it still did not help get my pictures, contacts or texts back.

No such thing has occurred. iPhones do not backup to one another.
It is not possible to backup a different iPhone from the one being updated.
If the iPhone was restored with a backup from a different device, restore it again from the correct backup.

how can I get all my new stuff back and stop it from happening again?
Pay attention when restoring the iPhone and select the correct backup to restore from.

Where are Hotmail emails stored if you copied them from the server?

I downloaded all my emails off the server, or should I say copied and left a copy of them on the server. Now I can't find them on my computer. IT did say they were saved successfully, and all.
Because I knew that Microsoft would screw up one day, and they did when they forced everyone off "HOTMAIL". Now they themselves can't reverse the process, that would be too simple, for us normal users, and I honestly believe that they don't know how to do it either, so the make excuses.
But when they moved me from, "HOTMAIL" to "OUTLOOK", I lost all mu sub-folders and I want to look in my backups to see if I can fine them, but don't know where to start. I need the info in there for legal purposes.
I need those sub-folder emails/ Somebody please help me.
Thank You

Why are my pictures from my Powershot SX130IS blurry on the left side only?

I have had my Powershot SX130Is for less than a year. Initially it took lovely pictures. Now all of the pictures are blurry on the left of each image. I use the easy or auto setting. I am very dissappointed with the picture quality. Any suggestions?

LibbiePayne,
I agree that making sure the lens is clean may be all that is needed here. You can clean the lens by gently wiping it down with a soft, lint free cleaning cloth, similar to what you would typically use to clean eyeglasses.
If the images are still blurry on the left side, this may require more in-depth troubleshooting. Feel free use this Contact Us link to contact us directly if you continue to experience this issue.
