Your Mac should have come with two gray disks, one of which was labelled "Applications Install DVD."  That disk contains your iLife apps that came bundled with the machine.

  • Can I find an iphoto events in time machine

    Using a macbook pro with Lion 10.7 how can I find an iphoto event in time machine hard drive back up.  When I look in picture folder for a back up date I see some individual pictures and an icon for iphoto library.  I thought clicking on that would show me iphoto application with the events just as it looks in current time only with the events of the past date.  It does not.

    Not really - you need to restore the iPhoto library then open it with iPhoto - iPhoto can not access TM backups - they have to be restored first

    When you launch iPhoto with the option key depressed you'll get this window:
    Click to view full size
    All libraries on your hard drive (and on external drives) will be listed and the currently used library will be listed as (default).

  • Where can i find my iphoto library?

    After recovering my hard disk (erasing everything because of performance issues) and reinstalling everything from Time Machine i can not find my iPhoto library anymore. I know it has to be somewhere because every single thing was copied correctly so i am also assuming iPhoto library would be copied correctly. However i can not find it in finder (it is not in the default location and i know it never was).
    Does somebody know where to look and how to find it?

    Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and tell us how many libraries are listed in the following window:
    Is there one shown?  If not download and run Find Any File to search for a file with "ThumbJPGSegment" in the file name. There are files common to all versions of  iPhoto libraries with that as part of the file name..
    FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages. If there's a library hiding somewhere on your hard drive FAF will find it.

    Is this external drive a Time Machine backup?
    Then find what you want using Time Machine (or whatever application you used to make the backup).
    Your iPhoto pictures are in the iPhoto library in Users/Pictures.

  • I downloaded yosemite and the new version of photos and now i can not find my iPhotos

    I downloaded yosemite and the new photos.  now i can not find my iPhotos.  It won't let me open the old app and it says that its not compatible with yosemite.  HELP!  how do I retrieve my old photos??

    iPhotos has been replaced with a new app called Photos. If it completed migrating your iPhoto Library, all your images are now also in Photos Library(Events are now Albums in a folder named iPhoto Events.
    iPhoto and iPhoto Library remain on your drive and work as before.

  • Can't find new iPhoto folders in finder

    Hello - when I create a new folder in iPhoto I expect then to be able to find it and any contents through the Finder. Yet this does not happen on my Macbook. Does anyone have any idea what is wrong here?

    when I create a new folder in iPhoto I expect then to be able to find it and any contents through the Finder.
    Why? IPhoto is your Photo Manager. Like iTunes is your Music Manager. It's not designed to be accessed via the Finder.
    Does anyone have any idea what is wrong here?
    There's nothing wrong here.
    IPhoto is a database application and what you see in the iPhoto Window is not necessarily reflected in the Finder at all. For instance, there is no Folder of images for every album, an Album is an instruction to the app to display certain photos together. This is why a pic can be in 50 albums and take up no extra space.
    Your Pics are stored in the iPhoto Library in your Pictures Folder. With iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
    Want to look inside? Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Standard Warning: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
    To Access your Photos:
    For Editing in another Application:
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    For any other use:
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 and later*
    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!
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and later* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    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 later:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *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.
    3. *Show File*: 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.

  • I can't find iDVD, iPhoto, iMovie, or iWeb

    I just bought a used iMac G4 with Mac OS X 10.3 Panther on it and it was used badly I gues because all this junk was loaded on it but I can't find a reason why iDVD, iPhoto, iMovie, etc. were not loaded on my Mac.

    Hi,
    First of all, Welcome to the  Discussions Forums!
    Your post sounds as if you do not have the original disks or a retail copy of Panther 10.3, correct?
    The retail Panther disks do have iLife apps included. My set (retail box 10.3.2) came with iLife apps iMovie 3, iPhoto 2, iTunes 4.
    When the original owner purchased the iMac G4 it would have had the apps bundled with it. If they are missing now it sounds like the owner deleted them from the disk or did not install them. Originally, I think, iDvD only came on Macs with superdrives.
    If you let us know which disks you have, if any, perhaps we can let you know if you can install any of the iLife applications from them.

  • How can I find my iphoto pictures from a recovered hard drive.

    My macbook pro suffered an attack of spilled wine. Its unrecoverable as smoke and flashes were seen when it was powered up afterwards. I removed the hard drive to recover all my files but I can't find the file with my iphotos library in it. How can I find it or where should I look

    It actually helps if you provide details first - your original question was how to find your photos - now it turns out that you knew where they were but were trying to open the library with an older version of iPhoto
    older versions of iPhoto can not open newer libraries - iPhoto library manager can rebuild a library for an older version
    Or you can copy the originals (or masters depending on the version of the newer iPhoto which you do not share) folder to the desktop and then create a totally new library using just the photos

  • Can't find my iphotos after a backup

    I recently brought my macbook into apple and decided to back everything up before I took it in. I used time machine and used mypassport to store everything. When I set my macbook back up all my files were still there except my iphotos. I'm not sure what happened to them as I had about 10k+. I can't find them anywhere in mypassport so if anybody has some type of direction for me I would greatly appreciate it.
    my software is OS X 10.9.5 (13F34) and I have a mid 2010 macbook.

  • Can't find my iphoto library folder in finder

    Hi Everyone,
    I bought a Macbook Pro a few months ago and am having trouble with my iphoto.
              1. I can't see or find the iphoto library photo in finder so that I may access my photos without actually opening iphoto
              2. on my old macbook i could drag a photo from my iphoto library to the desktop and that would simply create a copy. If I do this with my new mac it transfers the photo out of iphoto to my desktop.
    Any suggestions on how i can fix these 2 things, particularly the first one?
    THANK YOU!

  • Iphoto 11 on MT Lion can not find my iphoto library after a a hard drive replacement and restore from time machine...HELP

    I have an iMac with the recalled seagate drives and I have everything backed up on Timecapsule and on Carbonite. I also copied all my photos to a file prior to having the hard drive replaced. The merge back to the mac worked well except that now iphot can't locate my library. In iphoto 11 they moved it out of the pictures file and it is hidden. Does anyone know how to find it so I don't have to reorganize 20,000 pictures?
    Thank you!

    In iphoto 11 they moved it out of the pictures file and it is hidden.
    They didn't, I'm afraid. The iPhoto Library is still stored in the Pictures Folder by default, and it's not hidden.
    Can you see it in Time Machine?

  • I can't find my iPhoto library???

    Well it all started when I plugged in my backup drive (western digital 1TB drive) to do a time machine backup and it said the drive had to be erased and reformatted because there was a problem ( i have been using this drive for a year with Time Machine). So i completely erased the drive and plugged it in to do a new backup. it took about four hours to complete. After it was done i plugged in my phone to upload all my pictures to my iPhoto (because I did not want to do it while backing up) and iPhoto told me to pick a library to start using iPhoto and i freaked out because I had over 5000 pictures saved on that library. I tried doing a system search for the file and could't find it. I know i'm 100% sure that the library was not saved on the drive because i could open the library without the drive plugged in. I called apple and they told me to call them back when i have another mac (not sure why) and i have been playing phone tag with them and have not yet talked to them, but they told me i might have to pay for data recovery but why should I have to pay if it isn't my fault that they are gone. Any idea how to find the library, if its possible or did i loose 5000 pics???

    Mmm, strange. If you've been adding photos to iPhoto they have hopefully been saved in the iPhoto library.
    Have a look in this location and tell us if this file exists and what size it is (if it's got lots of photos in it it should be large-ish):
    Click on the desktop and do Command+N to open a new Finder window. Click on your Home folder (the House) and then, to the right of the window double click on the Pictures folder to open it. Is there a file called 'iPhoto Library' and what size is it. As I say, if it's got some pics in it it will likely be quite a large file and would indicate that your pictures are there.
    Re-launch iPhoto holding down the Option key as I mentioned in my first post and click on the 'Other Library' and navigate your way to this 'iPhoto Library' file located in your Pictures folder. Select the 'iPhoto Library' file and hopefully you'll be back in business.
    Apologies if I've put it in simple terms, but you said you're new to Mac .
