Can not find iPhoto.plist

Edited photos are not saved and when I try to print an edited photo it reverts to the orignial.  I read that deleting "com.apple.iphoto.plist" and relaunching iPhoto should fix but I can't find the iphoto.plist file no matter what I do.

It won't.
Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:

Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:

Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.

  • Photoshop Bridge can not find Iphoto files

    When I open Bridge in Photoshop to open pictures It can not find my Iphoto files. There is an Iphoto icon with the other folders but when I click on it it opens Iphoto it does not show the files.

    Bridge and iPhoto do pretty much the same thing in different ways and can not be used together - choose one or the other
    PS can be used with iPhoto directly without bridge - set it as the external editor in the iPhoto preferences

  • Comic life can not find iphoto library

    I am working on Mac OS X version 10.5.8 and iPhoto 09. In the past I had no problem using Comic Life Deluxe version 1.5.2 but about 3 months ago my Comic life could not find my iPhoto library. This is the message I get when I click on the tab...
    Comic Life cannot find your iPhoto Library.
    Perhaps you are not using iPhoto or your iPhoto Preferences are out of date?
    Both my iPhoto and Comic Life are up to date. The finder tab and capture tab are working on Comic Life. I have tried an old fix I found posted but that did not work either (com.apple.iPhoto.plist)
    Any ideas out there?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try deleting the iPhoto preference file again, the com.apple.iApps.plist file and the Comic LIfe preference file. Reboot and launch iPhoto and then Comic Life and see if that helped.

  • Can not find iPhoto and music files since upload of yosemite

    how do you find iPhoto and music files after upgrade of yosemite on my mini mac

    Same way as you did before. It doesn't change. More detail in your question might get a better answer.

  • MacBook Pro OS X 10.6.8   I reloaded Snow Leopard and now can not find iPhoto.  Can I retrieve the pictures from the system?

    ProtectMac AV alerted to a trojan and was unable to remove it.  The Geeks at Best Buy could not sort it and recommended reinstalling the OS so I off-loaded the files and 1200 pics from Europe to a flash drive.  I reinstalled Snow Leopard, iWork, and upgraded from Office: Mac 08 to Office: Mac 2011.
    Once the system was proved up the files were reloaded but the flash drive failed before the pictures could be reloaded.  Is there a way to recover the pictures that were in iPhoto which is not here even with a search.  All I can find is:

    Library.iPhoto                    same                             same
    Library6.iPhoto                  same                             same
    I could get into the registry on a widows machine safely but know nothing about a Mac.  I read up a bit on the Terminal and Commands but prefer to not be trolling around with the unknown.  Any idea where iPhoto went and why?  Thanks!  /joe

    When you backed up to the flash drive did you copy the iPhoto Library that was in the Pictures folder?  If you had copied it intact and then back you would have your library back.
    You can try using   MediaRECOVER or SubrosaSoft FileSalvage to try to recover what's on the flash drive.  Both will let you run it in demo mode to see if you can recover the photos before you have to purchase.

  • I can not find iphoto in my mac

    Hi, I´ve just started to use my MacBook Pro. When using icloud, my pictures will not download to my mac. It works fine with ipads and iphone, but not on the laptop. The other functions on icloud works, only picture streaming that won´t work. Any advices?

    Yes, it should be free on all Mac's come with the iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand. Do you have the original DVD that came with your Mac.   

  • Can not find I-photo

    I can not find Iphoto on my MACbook pro. if i open a picture it does not load. it only goes to preview. any ideas where i can find it & keep it on the bottom of my screen?

    I can not find Iphoto on my MACbook pro.
    Have you looked in the applications folder?
    f i open a picture it does not load. it only goes to preview.
    That is correct - iPhoto is NOT a photo viewer - Preview is so it is used to view photos. iPhoto is a digital asset manager and photos must be imported into iPhoto prior to use - drag them to the iPhoto icon in the dock or open iPhoto and use the import command in the file menu
    any ideas where i can find it & keep it on the bottom of my screen?
    If iPhoto is not in your Dock then open the applications folder and drag iPhoto to the dock - that will create an alias there

  • IPhoto can not find several photos, shows icon, but not pic itself and I did not move anything

    I have more then 12'000 photos on iPhoto. After the last update it shows me all pics in the small icons, but when I click on them, severals are not whown - a black background with a grey triangle opens and a "!" in the mid. I suppose this means that iPhoto can not find the data. I already looked into the database and the files are really not there. But I did NOT move them! What happened? What can I do? (I would highly appreciate if I would not have to check every single photo and reimport it again!!!) Thank you in advance for your help!

    Restore from your back up.
    Regards

  • I have a problem with Iphoto.  I have approximately 28000 photos.  Recently all but 5000 have disappeared.  I can not find and restore them.  Any suggestions?

    I have a problem with Iphoto '06.  I have approximately 28000 photos.  Recently all but 5000 have disappeared.  I can not find or restore them.  Any suggestions? 

    This is what the inside of an iPhoto 6 library looks like:
    Where in there did you look for the image files?
    Did you run any updaters pror to discovering the missing photos?  What fixes have you tried?  Do you have a backup of the library on another hard drive?

  • My iPhoto has crashed and will not load up my picture and iTunes can not find my photos.  Why?

    My iPhoto has creashed and will not load up my pictures and iTunes can not find my picture either.  Why?

    Tell us more please - so it is hard to guess what might have happened.
    What is your iPhoto version and your MacOS X version?
    What happened directly, before you could no longer open your iPhoto library?
    Did you install or upgrade software?
    Did you import new photos to your iPhoto library?
    Are other programs also behaving buggie?
    Did you move your iPhoto library to a new harddisk?
    Did you run other programs, that might have changes the iPhoto library?
    How full is your harddrisk? Could it be, that you are running out of disk space?
    Anything at all, that could give us a clue ...

  • IPhoto can not find the original photo, does iPhoto copy the photo or just make a thumbnail?

    Hi,
    I'm scanning and putting all of my (paper) photos into my computer and then into iPhoto, tagging them, and doing all the time consuming things necessary to build a good library. 
    I've tried to open a few of the events and look at the photos I put in but I get an error that iPhoto can not find the original photo.  When I put a photo into iPhoto does the program only make a thumbnail copy with a link to the original, or does it actually copy the photo into the library?  I'm thinking the former.  Because I have a Time Machine backup, a hard copy, and (presumably) a copy in iPhoto, I have been deleting the photos AFTER putting them into iPhoto.  Do I need to keep the photos I put in iPhoto on my computer?  Will I need to go into TM and restore them?  Will I loose the information like Faces, Places, Keywords, if I do?
    Thank you much,
    I'm working with 9.1.2

    I have exactly the same problem except my photo is named "L1000093.jpg" and it's been there for a year now, but suddenly, when I wanted to view it in it's album, ("Favorite" which has been there for a year too), it says "The photo P1010311.jpg cannot be found"!!!  What the heck is going on?  So I canceled, went back to the album, clicked on L1000093, clicked "show event", went over to Event, clicked "reveal in finder" and there it is, iPhoto Library/Master/blah blah blah... L1000093.jpg!
    Where the hack did that P1010311.jpg came from?  Sure I have that photo, but it's in a completely different event and a different album!  What's is iPhoto 11 / Lion / iTunes 10.5.3(3) up to?
    So I threw L1000093jpg into the trash, went into Lightroom, find the original, re-export it, load it again into iPhoto, added it again to the album (favorite), and guess what?  I just did all those and the same "The bloody photo cannot be found" message popped up and when I go to finder, there it is.
    This is a bug.  It's been a bug since 2006 as far as I can remember.  And Apple had never done a complete fix.  It's an if thing!
    And the most frustrating part:  Althought they call this an Apple forum and you have to sign in to participate, I have never seen one Apple software guy here saying "this is what to do", just us victims helping each other and many non-Apple folks guessing to the best of their ability to comfort us.
    Oh, toys are toys.  I sometimes wonder if Steve had fought so hard yet the cancer in Apple actually won! 

  • I replaced my hard drive and lost iPhoto. Is there a way to retrieve?  I can not find the starter discs that came with my Macbook Pro.

    I replaced my hard drive and lost iPhoto. Is there a way to retrieve?  I can not find the starter discs that came with my Macbook Pro.

    Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. You can purchase replacement discs from Apple.
    Or, you can upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion:
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
    If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
    A. Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
         For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
    B. Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • Why has iTunes taken over the iPhoto file?  I can not attach pictures to files because I can not find them.  I can not upload pictures to software like Shutterfly for the same reason.

    Why has iTunes taken over the iPhoto function?  I can not attach pictures to files because I can not find them.  This has happened suddenly as if there were some keystrokes that changed the previous pattern. I am not able to upload pictures to programs such as Shutterfly because I can not find them.  When I try to upload, the computer takes me to an iTunes folder.
