Can you find lost photos?

I have lots of pictures in various libraries on the hard disk. I cannot search for them, and so I cannot get iPhoto to change libraries. If I could only search for the files in the iphoto library, I could find the libraries! Can you search for JPEG or CIMF files? Can anyone think of how to find these pictures? Many thanks in advance.....

Hi, Scott. The default location for an iPhoto Library is inside the Pictures folder inside your user account's Home folder: Hard drive>Users>your username>Pictures>iPhoto Library. If you have multiple iPhoto Library folders that you've renamed and moved, and now you can't remember their names or where you put them, what would probably make the most sense is to put all of them back inside your Pictures folder as you locate them (being careful to make sure they all have different names first).
To locate them, use the Find... command in the Finder's File menu. From the leftmost pull-down menu in the Find... dialog box, choose Extension, and enter .jpg into the search text box. The resulting list of hits will show you all the .jpg files on your hard drive. That process just took about 1.5 minutes to list all of the 14,108 .jpg files on my 1GHz Powerbook's hard drive.

  • Where can I find lost photos?

    I have a G3 iBook with OS X.2.8 and iPhoto 2. I was burning photos from my library to CD and durung this process I accidentally ejected the CD. Of course, my computer hated that. Not only that these photos (~200) are gone from the CD, but I can"t even find them on my computer anymore. I don't understand why they would be gone fom my iPhoto library. HELP!

    It's not clear where "there" is when you say all the other photos are still there. Are you running the iPhoto application, or are you looking in a Finder window.
    I suspect you dragged the images to CD in a Finder window instead of first exporting copies from iPhoto (one can only guess since you haven't confirmed), but you still haven't mentioned whether (or to what extent) iPhoto works. It's not clear whether you need to run disk repair or if you need to rebuild your iPhoto library. From what place did you initially drag the files? If it was a folder, how was the folder named (or did you drag from the iPhoto application window)? In either case, Jaguar would have made copies prior to starting the burn, and the original images should still be intact somewhere.

    Can you find out last location of iphone if lost and offline

    No.  The phone must be online to provide a location and a history of locations is only provided if you place it in Lost Mode, and the phone goes online (at least temporarily) to provide it's location.

  • HT4858 My iPhone was stolen and I can't find the photos...

    My iPhone was stolen and I can't find the photos I took with it of a certain day from last week, only from the day before and the day after. How can I retrieve them?

    If they are not on your 'My Photo Stream, you only other option is try to restore an iOS device from a backup of your lost iPhone (either via iTunes or iCloud, where ever you were backing up to).  Obviously you will need ot inherit and iOS device to do this.

    How do I turn on My Photo Stream?
    After your devices are up-to-date and you have set up your iCloud account, it’s easy to turn on My Photo Stream on any of your devices:
    iOS devices: Go to Settings > iCloud > Photos (Photo Stream in iOS 6), then turn on My Photo Stream.
    Mac: Go to System Preferences > iCloud, then select the checkbox for Photos (or Photo Stream). Click the Options button and verify that the My Photo Stream checkbox is selected. Open the application you want to use with Photo Stream (iPhoto or Aperture) and confirm that My Photo Stream is turned on in that application. You can also adjust your My Photo Stream settings in iPhoto or Aperture Preferences.
    PC: Open the iCloud Control Panel for Windows and select the checkbox for Photos (Photo Stream in iCloud Control Panel 2.x). You can click the Options button to verify that My Photo Stream is enabled and adjust the settings. Be sure to click Apply when done.

    Restore from an iCloud backup
    If you have a new iOS device, or if you need to restore your iOS device to resolve an issue, follow these steps.
    Follow the initial steps in the iOS Setup Assistant (select your language, and so on).
    Select Restore from iCloud Backup when the assistant asks you to set up your iPhone (or other iOS device).
    Select the backup you created earlier.
    You can restore a backup only by using the iOS Setup Assistant.
    If you've already set up your device, you can erase all current content to go through the iOS Setup Assistant again. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Do this only if you already have a backup, because this step will remove all current content from your device.
    Restore from an iTunes backup
    If you have a new iOS device, or if you need to restore your device to resolve an issue, follow these steps:
    Connect your iOS device to the computer that has your backup.
    Make sure this computer has the latest version of iTunes.
    Choose File > Devices > Restore from Back up.
    If you're using iTunes 10.7 or earlier, right-click the device from the list and choose Restore from Backup.

  • I can't find my photo booth how can i download it again?

    i can't find my photo booth how can i download it again?

    You might want to check first:
    Go to Finder, click Applications, and make sure photo booth in not there. If not, then find the OS X features (programs) disk that came with your mac. It will allow you to install it from there. If you have lost it, you can try to download and install it from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?fnz1mjjmjmz
    I have not tested this, but it looks valid (the comments were positive).
    First try to install it via the DVD that came with your mac

  • How can I find duplicate photos without going through all 5000  one at a time?

    How can I find duplicate photos withough going through all 5000 one by one?  I have numerous duplications and used to be able to click on Edit and Find Duplicates and could clean up all the duplicates easily.  Now that option is gone.  I still have lots to delete.

    I do backup everything using Carbonite.Please don't tell me it is bad, too :-)  Also, especially with photo files, I do have other backups of those I am concerned about. Probably not the best in the world, but a log better than many people who I know about.
    Again, I really have not seen any problems with MacKeeper.  I imagine that if people do not read and follow instructions, they could have problems. For example, it is possible to scan all your files and see them in order of size. If you start deleting things, without knowing what you're deleting, you could cause trouble. Even when the computer scans for so-called junk files, you can look at them and decide for yourself if they are truly junk. I've never seen any that were not.
    So, I will look at the complaints anyway to see them. I am open to change, although I hope I do not need to drop Mackeeper as it does things like keeping tracking of applications updates that I need. Please note that I definitely am not a MacKeeper employee or anything close. Just using it and happy with the the results.
    I did download the recommend file for finding photo dupes and ran it.  There were very few duplicates, in any case, As I said before, the MacKeeper dupe finder was very slow when I ran it over ALL my files. That was a year ago and it did find many non-text dupes.

  • How can I find a photo from the backup file in my pc?

    How can I find a photo from the backup file in my pc?
    I have accidentally erased a photo. It happened after the backup.

    I am not aware you can extract a single photo or a single app's content from the backup, you can either restore the whole backup to your phone or not restore. If you restore your last backup to your phone then any content that is currently on your phone will be replaced with what was on it at the time that the backup was made - so if you do decide to restore, first copy off any purchases to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases, and copy any documents/files that you've udpated on the phone since the backup.

  • Envy 5530 can't find scanned photos on my windows 7 PC

    I have just got my printer and want to scan some very old photos into my PC. The printer screen says 'scan to computer or others'. I chose computer and scanning started but I can't find my photo anywhere. I was not asked where to put the photo or any other info about my computer. I also tried the 'other' option but a message asking me to ensure the software had been installed. I ran the disc that came with the computer to start with. I can print from my PC and ipad. Help please.

    Hey @ChrisFay,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    It is very strange that your HP Envy 5530 is scanning but your photos cannot be found anywhere on your computer. Because you have run the Full Feature Software and Driver install for your product is does appear that everything is installed as it should be.
    When you're scanning from the Front Panel of the product it will scan automatically to the default 'save to' location. With the HP Scan software the default 'save to location' for JPEGS is your pictures folder. With PDF files the default location is your Documents folder.
    Also, when you select 'Scan' from the front panel of the printer and choose Computer it should display your computer name to select as the computer you want to scan to. To find out your computer name you can:
    Click on your Start menu
    Right click on Computer
    Left click on Properties
    Near the bottom it will display 'Computer name' - this is the name you should be selecting on the front panel of your product.
    I'm going to provide you with a document for step-by-step instructions for scanning from the Front Panel on the printer:
    Scan From the Control Panel for HP ENVY 5530 e-All-in-One
    Once the scan has completed successfully it should automatically launch the 'save to' file location on your computer. Please be advised that this may take a few moments to open.
    Should this still not work than please try to scan from the HP Scan Software on your computer so we can ensure functionality:
    Scan from Windows 7 With the Full Feature HP Software for HP Multifunction Printers
    If the Front Panel scan or the HP Scan don't work for you than you need to run the HP Print and Scan Doctor tool to 'fix scanning'. This tool will automatically detect and attempt to fix different scanning issues that can arise with the printer or with the computer.
    HP Print and Scan Doctor

    Sorry but we need details to help
    What version of the OS do you have? What has changed since iPhtoo worked?
    What exactly is the problem - you say "it was not responding" - You downloaded a new version (what version)" -you can't find yoru photos" none of which is helpful
    look in your applications folder - is there an Iphoto application there? If so get info and report the version
    Look in the picures folder - is there an iPhoto library there? If so exactly (including exact error messages) happens if you double click on it?
    what else can you tell us that might help us assist you?
