Cannot open source panel in iPhoto

I need to find out how to access the following file so I can view the source panel in iPhoto: com.apple.iPhoto.plist. I have forgotten how to find this file so I can fix iPhoto. Please help.

TD,
Sorry, but for some reason when the curser turns to an + the panel doesn't pull out???? The only way I have been able to get the source panel to pull out is to trash the file???? If you have any other ideas why I have to do this, I would be happy to hear them.

Cannot open an event on iphoto 11 by double clicking to reveal all photos in the event

Cannot open an event on iphoto 11 by double clicking to reveal all photos in the event

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
If it doesn't your current library is damaged and needs repairing. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start
with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Cannot open source file

I just downloaded some new drum sounds on Logic Pro X that were offered upgrades and now I get an error message in my regular work that states,
"Cannot open source file" when I go to import an mp3 large file into any template or new project.
I've trashed preferences and have plenty of room to import the large files I usually work with.
Need guidance please.

Thanks Pancenter, that helped. I still hear a slight difference in the tone of voice speaking in a 48k session also.
Do you think this is the difference of being recorded at 44.1 mp3, then change to m4a and export the now 48k file into a 48k Logic session? I didn't see a way of changing Quicktime Player sample rate to 44.1, which is preferred in this instance. Future recordings I can set up at 48k but I have a bunch of files at 44.1 waiting for me that need a solution first.
Whew, and yes what a pain to do this when it worked fine before. (although for my work, I would prefer to edit as mp3 instead of turning into AIF then mp3 again- too much giggage wasted for this use)
Still open to other solutions without undoing the new sounds & such I just upgraded.

Cannot find source list in iPhoto

Cannot find "Source List"???? in my iPhoto. Also cannot find photo library. Thanks

what do you see? If you launch iPhoto does it work properly? If the source pane is not there move you mouse to the extreme left of the iPhoto window and drag the source pane open again
By default the iPhoto library is in your pictures folder - why are you looking for it?

Can't Open Source Panel

I closed my iPhoto source panel, for some dumb reason that I can't remember, and now I can't get it to reopen. When I click on the little dot, I get the little opener icon, which I can move, but it won't work to open the panel. The only thing I HAVEN'T done is to try restarting my computer. So, I'm going to do that now, and be back to either ask for help, or say never mind.
Cheers, Da

Move the cursor to the extreme left of the iPhoto Window until it becomes a '+', then click and drag right
or
trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)

Cannot open all photos in iphoto

Hi! I was wondering if anyone could help me. When I try to open the pictures in iphoto, nothing happens. The thumbnails are there, but if I try to edit them for example, the picture won't come up onto the screen. I tried going into pictures/library/preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist then trashing the plist. This resulted in almost all of my photos dissappearing! I had over 1600 photos now I am left with about 125 and most of those aren't even showing a thumbnail!! So, I went into pictures again and had a look in library and library1 and I can see that some of the 'missing' photos are there, however when I try to open them it says on some 'The alias "DSC003373.JPG" could not be opened because the original item cannot be found.' Have no idea where the original could possibly be either!! Some of them also come up with "Couldn't open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that Preview doesn't recognise". Please please can someone help me! I would die if I have lost all of my photos! And, yes, I will be putting them onto discs from now on! Thanks a lot
Fiona

Fiona,
You can try and see if creating a new library will recover all the photos that you can't see in iPhoto.
Close iPhoto
Rename your messed up iPhoto Library to "iPhoto Library_old"
Drag this library to your desktop
Hold down the Option key and launch iPhoto
This is the window you will get
Create a new library or choose a library to open
Choose to create a new library
Once this new empty library is open it is time to import the images from your old library
Go to File>add to library
Navigate to the old library on your desktop and highlight it in the window, then click the "open" button.
iPhoto will start importing the images from your old library
This is what to expect:
Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
Once all you images have been imported, check through the library and make sure everything looks ok.
You can now start making your Albums, and do your keywords or any other organizational steps.
You can also delete the old library on the desktop.
It is also a good time to backup this new library to CD/DVD by burning the iPhoto LIbrary folder in the Finder, or copying the iPhoto Library folder to an external drive formatted for Macs, or copying the iPhoto LIbrary folder to an iPod.
Good luck!

Cannot open thumbnail photos in iPhoto

Cannot open thumbnail in iPhoto for editing or viewing

Could be a permissions issue. Try the following: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Since only one option can be run at a time start with #1 followed by #3 and #4 as needed.

Cannot open Book Project in iPhoto

I'm working on a Mac OSX 10.9.5 and iPhoto 9.5.1 (902.17). Last January of this year I started a Book and have worked on it at winter and spring--it is about 90 pages long with text and photos. Yesterday I went to open the project and all I got was a spinning wheel -- it will not open up. I went in to Utilities and repaired the permissions and I repaired the photo library by clicking Alt and Command--still cannot open the project. Would anyone have a solution?

Hi Old Toad: Thanks for the prompt reply. I could NOT locate the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist.
I downloaded Find any File and got this:

Cannot open aperture library in iPhoto

I recently opened an old iPhoto library in Aperture. This changed the file extension, and presumably the file structure. Libraries are supposed to be interchangeable between the two apps, but now I get the following message when I try to open the libary in iPhoto: "To open this Aperture library in iPhoto, it first needs to be upgraded with Aperture 3.3 or later. Quit iPhoto and then open your library in Aperture to upgrade it." I'm running Aperture 3.4.5 and iPhoto 9.4.3. I've repaired permissions and rebuilt the database (and whatever the third option was when Aperture is launched with Command-Option). Any suggestions?

Stephen,
the problem is probably an inconsistent DateModelVersion.plist file in the Aperture Library.
If the library cannot be repaired, try to restore this file from your backup, from a time when the library could be opened in iPhoto. If you have Code installed, you can try to edit the file manually.
see joeholmes post: Re: Help! Can't Open Aperture Library (Requires iPhoto 9.4?)
or the manual fix by jashman: Re: Help! Can't Open Aperture Library (Requires iPhoto 9.4?)

Iphoto cannot open photoshop file in iphoto editor window

I use iphoto to capture raw images from my Nikon D70 and then I use photoshop CS2 to edit them. I recently edited a raw photo in CS2 and then saved it. The image showed up in iphoto, but I could not open it for further iphoto manipulation. I tried going back and saving it as a JPG, but I photo would simply display the pinwheel whenever I tried to open it in the iphoto editor window. Is there some reason that I am not able to open this image?

Jeff:
How did you edit the raw file with CS, from within iPhoto (having selected PS as the image editor to open in iPhoto's preferences) or from the Finder after finding the location of the file in the iPhoto Library folder?

I cannot open my pictures in iphoto to view them larger

Since updating to the new iPhoto, I cannot figure out how to open my thumbnail photos. It is so frustrating. I tap, I click, I double-tap and double-click, I right tap and right click...nothing. Can someone help me figure out this stupid issue? I feel like an idiot but I know I am not doing anything wrong. I just want to view my photos larger!!!!

Well, when I go to click on an individual picture that is in my photos section, nothing happens. It won't even open up all of my pictures when I go to click on an event in the event section either. The picture gets highlighted but it won't open up into a bigger view or open the events folder to view other pictures within that event. I tried double clicking, tapping, everything. I tried to look on iPhoto Help, but there is nothing about this. I don't know why this is becoming such a problem. I can open other things on my computer just fine when I tap or click on it.

Error cannot open source file

i cant run the programme as my c++ is having the error where all the source files cannot be opened. How can i fixed it?

Hi cindy93,
Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.
To understand what happens on your side, Could you show us the complete error message? Does the source file create by yourself or some header files? Please more information.
Have you tried to include the Absolute path to your source file? Something like that.
#include "D:\..\..\source file name"
