Can't find the pictures I just imported

I'm using PSE 4.0 on XP.
I had 60 jpg's in a directory.
I used Organizer's Folder Location view to get to the images.
I then added all of those images to the catalog. They all came in fine.
I then switched to Date(Newest) view and did some editting on some of the pictures. I also tagged a number of the pictures.
I exitted from PSE. I went back in a bit later and now I can't see my pictures in the Date(Newest) view. Most of the images have a 5/13/2006 date so they should be at the top. But the image at the top of the list is dated 5/15. If I go to Import Batch view I can see the pictures. And if I go back to Folder Location view I can also see the pictures. I tried to add the images to the catalog a second time but none of them were added. I got a message that the files were either of the wrong time or they already existed in the catalog. I've used the Folder Location and the Add Unmanaged Files to Catalog method many times in the past and I've never lost sight of any of the pictures.
Any ideas?

Hi, Colin.
OK, I had tagged all of these pictures.
So I picked one of the tags. Yes, the picture was visible.
And then I saw what the problem is.
Most of the pictures were taken on 5/13/2006.
But PSE is now showing the date as 5/13/2005.
I checked the files on the hard drive itself.
They definitely show the 2006 date. My pc has the correct date on it as well.
I did do a 'Smart Fix' on a lot of these pictures.
But not on all of them. There were three pictures that I did not edit at all. I just added a tag to them.
Thought I'd enter this reply before I try to do anything. I haven't done the Recover yet.

I can't see the pictures I just imported into iPhoto '11

I just imported a bunch of photos and videos from the iphone into iPhoto. During the first attempt I got an error message ("iphoto unexpectedly terminated" or something like that), so just to be on the safe side I reimported everything. Now, if I disconnect the iPhone from the Mac and I search for a specific picture with spotlight I can find it. But none of these pictures appear in iPhoto.
Thanks in advance for any help

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Can't find the pictures after moving the library to EHD

I followed the instructions of moving the iphoto library to the external HD. I created an alias and moved it to the Pictures folder. I opened IPhoto and I can see all the events and thumbnails, however when I try to open any picture and I get the message that the picture is not found. I guess is that the picture files are located outside the library. the library has the pointers to the old folders....
I have 17000 pictures, how can I find each of them?
I tried opening IPhoto with the "option" key pressed and choosing the library in the EHD. I get the same result. I can see all the events and thumbnails but It can't find the pictures.

Did you try opening and checking the validity of your library before you copied it back to the EHD? By not finding some of the photos do you mean you get the "!" window when you double click on a thumbnail?
If so then try the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in the User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select options #1 and #6.
If all else fails create a new empty library on the EHD and do the following: sart over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2. Open the library package like this.
Click to view full size
3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4. Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
Then you can compare the number of photos between this library and the other to see if either is more complete.

Where can i find the pictures from massager?

Hello, i have a little problem, i can't find my imassanger pictures in a folder or sth else. Where can i find the pictures?
Thanks for help:)

It takes a few steps but it's doable.
Start with the contact. Tap edit. Tap edit under the photo. Tap edit photo in the window that opens, take a screen shot. Tap outside of the photo, tap done.
Now we go to Camera Roll. Choose the screen shot you just took. Tap edit. Put two fingers on the photo and separate them to enlarge it. Take another screen shot. Squeeze the photo back to normal size.
Your photo is ready.
Why they don't just save the contact photo in the first place I'll never know.

Please help, I can't find the pictures which I took with my camera. Its like I never took them

I can't find the pictures which I took on my camera, I still have lots of memory left, they are hidden or something . Oh and the other thing is that when I'm trying to save a picture as something that I like its say the the directory is full even when I put a single letter. I have a huge space on my memory card, I don't know what's wrong . Please help. Thanks

See if you can boot into safe mode by holding down the shift key immediately after pressing the start button. Keep holding the shift key till a loading progress bar appears on the lower part of the screen. It will take a lot longer than normal to start this way. If you have Lion 10.7 installed you can try holding command-R keys to get intto recovery mode and run disk utility.

Where can I find the music I just transferred from my Windows library to my mini? When I claick on the music icon, nothing shows up. Manual proves useless. :{

Where can I find the music file I THINK I just downloaded from my Windows library to my ipad? Watched the progress unfold on my PC, but once is was completed, when I click on the music icon on the mini desktop, it does not pull up the file. Manual proved usleess. :{

I installed iTunes on my PC ( not a Mac )
I connected my mini to my computer with cord
I turned on my mini
I opened iTunes on my desktop
I clicked everywhere, but no prompts told me what to do this time!
Sorry, but I can't remember how hubby originally managed to make popup appear on my computer screen that allowed me to transfer music from my hard drive/desktop to my mini.
Calling the Apple store was fruitless....wading through interminable menu; put on hold; connecting to helper, then immediately being put on hold; finally disconnected.
Just want to know the first step after all of the above and I can PROBABLY take it from there..........

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Do you mean this one in the bottom left corner of iTunes.

HT201317 just backed up my iphone to the icloud and updated my software. I clicked on "delete once downloaded" but now can not find the pictures -- 470 of them. How can I access them?

How can i access all my photos after backing up my iphone to the icloud? I clicked on "delete once downloaded" but now can not find them.

You can import your camera roll to your computer using your usb cable as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
If you're upgrading your phone, I would recommend that you backup your old phone to your computer using iTunes. Restoring an iTunes backup to your new phone will be much faster than restoring an iCloud backup, and possibly more reliable too.
To back it up to iTunes, connect it to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, then go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now. The go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
When setting up your new phone, when given the option, choose Restore from iTunes Backup and restore this backup to your new phone. It will include your camera roll and other data; restoring the backup will will also sync your apps and other iTunes media from your iTunes library to your new phone.

I have 3,500 photos on my MacBook that I would like to copy to my Windows 7 PC. The PC CAN "see" the MacBook on the wi-fi network but I can't find the picture files through that route on the MacBook.

I took 3500 pictures with an iPhone 5 and a Canon Ixus camera whil on holiday in China. I downloaded them onto my MacBook every day.
Now we're back home I want to back them up onto my Windows 7 PC as it has a 1 TB HDD.
My PC and MacBook can see each other over the wi-fi network (the PC has an Ethernet connection to the wifi router) and the MacBook can copy files from the PC but not vice versa although the PC can "see" the MacBook - just not copy or transfer any files.
Also when I look for the jpegs for my holiday pics I can't find them on the MacBook though they open happily in iPhoto. When I look in my iPhoto library it seems to have (among other things) an XML file as a database but no actual jpegs. There are some jpegs on the MacBook but these are from photos I transferred from the PC before I out the 1TB HDD in.
Where are the actual photos stored and how can I transfer them to the PC over the wifi network?

Selectthem in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder - see the user tip on exporting for edtails on the options available - from there it has not involvement of iPhoto - what access you have andhow you access the Mac disk is a subject for a differnt forum
Direct access to the contents of the ihoto library - a SQLite database - is not supported

HT201269 Can't find the picture that is my wallpaper on my iPhone 4s

My iPhone 4s has a picture I took as it's wallpaper. Some time later, I think I inadvertently deleted the photo from my camera roll, and can't find it anywhere. My thinking is it must exist somewhere in the phone's memory.
Any ideas how I can locate, access, save this image/picture?
Thanks much!

You can't directly access it the way that you want. Closest way to do so would be a screenshot, and then crop out the extra bits. Or, get the original image from your data backup on your computer, where ever you saved it to before deleting it from the device.

Can't find the photoshop I just downloaded

I just downloaded Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 on my Mac and now I can't find it to open it?

check your desktop.
if it's not there, start to download something else. you don't need to download anything else you just need to pay attention to the default directoy your os suggests for the download. that's where you'll find pse 11.

Can't find the song I just purchased

I just bought a song from the iTunes library, and I know it downloaded, but I can't find it in my Library or purchased music playlist. I know I bought it too, because I tried buying it again and it said I've already bought it. Please help!

First look at your account by going to the music store and hitting your account name in the top right corner (Where you sing in and out) to see if you was charged for it
In iTUnes at the top hit Advanced>Check for purchases if the song didn't download all the way
In windows hit Start Button>Search and in the search field type in "m4p" and it will pull up all the songs you have bought AND are on your system. when searching DO NOT hit "Pics Music Videos" Instead hit "All Files and folders". in "More Advanced Features" check "Search Sub Folders"
If you was charged for the song(s), have used "Checked for purchases" and nothing downloads and you search your WHOLE harddrive (Not just Muy Music Folder) and it does not pull up the songs as being on your system, you will have to email the music store at this link http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/musicstore/download/

I can't find the picture freme on my ipad screen

I can't find thevpicture freme on my ipad screen but it's in the settings.

It should appear on the unlock screen as a 'flower' if you have it turned 'on' in Settings > General > Passcode Lock. Once you've unlocked the iPad then you can do slideshows from within the Photos app.

Can't find the app I just installed

I just installed an application on my IPod touch and I can't see it anywhere!

You have to sync your Touch first before it appears. Or is this the first time you've had a problem with a phantom app?
Tell us if this worked by responding in this thread.
