Cannot find photos to attach from Mail

I am using a MacBook Pro (a friend's), and we've run into a problem I've never seen before. When we try to attach a photo to an email using Mail, and we navigate to the iPhoto folder, there are only a handful of folders within each year's folder, and those don't seem to have the actual photos in them, only data files. I am baffled by this, as I can attach any photo to my email in Mail by simply navigating to the right dated folder within my iPhoto folder. Does anyone have any idea why this might be? We've opened up his iPhoto, and the pictures are all dated and in the proper order.
thanks in advance....

Hello, I am having the same problem. I have a Agfa 1680 camera that will only work on 9.2.2 OS. All my photos have to be uploaded to Agfa image file. Then I import to Iphoto in 10.4 OS. With Iphoto 2.0 I was able to import just one photo. With Iphoto 6 when I try to Import, can import only complete Album, images just show gray shadow and do the same when wanting to attach to email. The Agfa images were JPG, but some people couldn't see them when I sent them. I would import to Iphoto and attach to email, then they could see pictures. In iphoto2 it was easy to find image, but with Iphoto 6 they seem to disappear. I installed 10.4.6, 120GB harddrive and Ilife'O6 just before Christmas. Both harddrives are bootable in 9.2.2 and 10.4. I was in 10.4 on 120gb drive last night trying to attach picture to email. I cleaned all the images out of that file and started over. When I restarted & opened Iphoto on 60GB drive it completely rebuilt Iphoto Library on 120GB hard drive back to the same as one on the 60GB drive. I have IPhoto6 application installed on both harddrives. Apple made it harder to find and attach images to email from Iphoto. I also backup all my files to an external Acomdata USB 2.0 60GB harddrive.

As far as i know, you can use a third party iPad photos recovery software to have a try. If i remember correctly, this software has two methods to restore your photos. One is recovering from your iTunes backup, another is recovering from your iPad directly.

It is worth to try if your photos are important.

I figured it out. Copy the picture from where you have it stored on your computer, and paste into the text line of the iMessage. Simple!

Does the mail app display whatever is in the document without the ability to differentiate between hidden or non hidden images?
The mail app will not display fillable form fields in PDF files that can be seen in real PDF apps. I say real PDF apps because the form fields in PDF apps will not appear in the iBooks app either. IMO, iBooks is not a real PDF app.
So, I would say that the mail app cannot differentiate between hidden and non hidden items

Cannot find picture when transferring from Aperture to PSE 11

Cannot find picture when transferring from Aperture to PSE 11
I have an older version of PSE and when I transferred a picture from Aperture to PSE9 it would open PSE9 and show the picture.
I set the Preps in Aperture for PSE 11 and the PSE 11 opens but no picture in the box or photo bin or in the top left "open".
I changed the Aperture setting to the PSE Organizer and the same thing happened Organizer open BUT there was no picture to be found.
In Aperture it shows the file being transferred.
I looked in the PSE 11 preps and file but could not find anything.
The fact that it opens the PSE 11 app tells me it is being recognized but the picture (file) is going somewhere else.
Thanks

Hi Greg
Make sure you are linking to the application in Support Files and not to an alias.

I have the latest version of iTunes with iBooks, and it doesn't have anywhere to drag PDF files into iTunes. Where are you seeing this? I tried every imaginable PDF, include a text document, I printed to PDF from textedit, then dragging it into the pane of grayed out books in iTunes.
What gives?
Here's a screenshot:

I cannot ad photos into iMovie from the ipad

I cannot ad photos into iMovie from the ipad photo roll, please help

What do you mean " back up my photos or Apps"?
The photo sync is one way - computer to ipad.
You can transfer itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

HT1766 lost my iphone and can't find photos and videos from camera roll on my computer. where are they?

lost my iphone and can't find photos and videos from camera roll on my computer. where are they?

Where did you put them?
These are not part of the sync process at all, as the manual tells you. You should be importing them to your comptuer regularly as you would with any digital camera.

Cannot open Word document attachment in mail before sending.

Cannot open Word document attachment in mail before sending.
In Snow Leopard Mail 4, (Version 4.0 (1075/1075.2)) if I attach a word document to a message and, BEFORE sending the message, I double click the attached document to open it, to make sure it is the right one, I get the error "Mail was unable to save the attachment “Test.doc” to disk. Verify that your downloads folder exists and is writable."
The attachment is mailed correctly and arrives at the destination, but the ability to verify an attached document before sending it is essential. This has worked fine in all previous editions of OS X.
Any ideas?
Thanks - Lawrence

I have same problem. I've done the following testing to pinpoint where the problem lies and there are clues (see below):
1. My machine had SnowLeopard installed "fresh" (i.e. disk reformat and installed cleanly)
2. I have a comparison machine running Leopard (10.5.6) - essentially a mirror but with different OS
3. Problem is triggered when creating new email, with a MS Word .doc attachment added. If you attempt to open the attached file in the mail (not yet sent) it produces the error message "unable to save file XXX.doc to disk. Verify that your downloads folder exists and is writeable"
4.However, once the mail is sent, the recipient can open the attachment without problems.
5. I have run Disk Utility and all permissions are correct. My downloads folder exists.
6. The problem is not present in Leopard (mirror machine other than OS)
7. I have uninstalled and reinstalled MS Office. Problem still present
8. I have deleted and recreated the preference files for both MS Office and for Mail. Problem still present.
And finally...
9.The problem is confined to .doc files.It works fine for .pdf, .ods AND even for Microsoft .xls files.
So it may be a MS Word problem triggered by Snow Leopard?
Apple: if you can confirm this is a Microsoft problem it may be able to be reported to them as a compatibility issue?
Hope this helps.

Cannot find photos opened from iPhoto 8 in CS3 and saved as TIFF

When I open JPEG files in iPhoto Library, edit them in CS3 and save them as TIFFs, I cannot find the edited file either by searching in iPhoto Library or looking at the files on the hard drive. What am I doing wrong?

Since you do not say how you are doing this I can only guess
If you are opening the files directly from the iPhoto library rather than using iPhoto with CS3 as the external editor then you re doing it wrong
If you are "saving as" in to the iPhoto library then you are doing it wrong
You should either export the photos you want to edit to a folder outside the iPhoto library, edit and save somewhere - maybe into that folder or some place else outside the iPhoto library and import to the iPhoto library by dragging the edited photos to the iPhoto icon in the dock
OR
Set CS3 as the iPhoto external editor, select the photo you want to edit in iPhoto and click edit - do your editing and save (not "save as") to place the photo back in the iPhoto database and update the thumbnail - not sure if this will works for TIFFs or not - I have only done it with JPGs

Cannot find 'HTTP... from Windows Live Mail

Using both FireFox 8.0, then 9.0 as my default browser, I get the error "Windows cannot find 'http:...." when I click on a link in an email in Windows Live Mail. The error note remains, but after a few seconds, FireFox opens the desired link page.
This doesn't happen when I set IE7 as the default browser. It simply works without the error note.

What password do you use to log onto MyBT. The old one or the new one?
https://home.bt.com/login/loginform?TYPE=33554433&REALMOID=06-f1aca0f0-9277-1028-a2aa-843bdb4e0000&G...
If it is your old password there appears to be a glitch when changing email passwords, it is not changing the password in MyBT so it causes a problem when logging on via an email client.
If you change the password of MyBT it does change the email password as well.
(I may have gotten this the wrong way round because I haven't tried it. ie changing MyBT does not change email password and changing email password does change MyBT password.)

With Upgraded 9.3 cannot find photo file

Just upgraded to iPhoto 9.3 and had the photo file automatically upgraded. I can open the app with the iPhoto icon. But I cannot find the photo file. And cannot do either from another computer on my network. All that shows is the app icon. Where are the photos now?

Where they always were - in the iPhoto Library. The .3 update changed nothing in that respect.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: 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.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. 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 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
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.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: 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. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Finding photos to attach to email or docs

When i want to attach a photo to an e-mail or document, the browse only lets me see the nonsensical file name downloaded from the camera and by year, month, and sequence, not the album name, not the name i gave it. Is there a better way? As i understand some of the answers in this forum, you can't/don't-dare mess with the library. I want to (1) rename photos when i download/import them and have that apply to the file name and (2) be able to "batch rename". This feature is becoming a deal-breaker. If i can't do this easily in iPhoto, what other program can i download/buy that will do this? I really like iPhoto's organization, albums, etc. i don't edit much beyond "rotate", crop, red-eye, correct exposure, and would like to be able to remove an object maybe.
Using an iBook G4, OS 10.5.8, iPhoto 5.0.4. Would like to have a new Mac book and software, but can't afford now. This beater works fine, even if the labels are wearing off the keyboard letters....
Thanks, KasilofLeif

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!
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
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.

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.
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.
Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.
