Cannot see the actual photo file in Finder once loaded onto iPhoto08??

GOod evening to all knowledgeable people,
Probably a stupid question..I read previous posts in quest of a similar lost querry but couldn't find, therefore here I am.
Now that I upgraded to iLife08, when I transfer my photos onto iPhoto the only way that allows me to see the actual file is if I right click on an image in the iPhoto Library and it pops up a new Finder window.
But when I go manually and look around in the Photos menu it doesn't actually display the content of the iPhoto Library. Surely this is wrong as in the previous version I could just go and see each files without passing going through iPhoto?
Anyone with an answer?
Thanks
Greg.

I read the messages on Hurrocain's post and I think it answers my question...:)
So with the new iPhoto08 we cannot access photos through the finder? and have to export the desired files onto the desktop for instead? not that great in terms of flexibility...:(

  • Starting Firefox 8, I cannot see the extensions.rdf file. Does it was replaced/renamed/deprecated ?

    After Firefox 8, I cannot see the extensios.rdf file as before. Basically, here I used to get the firefox key e.g. {ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384} and then get the FF version via em:minVersion/em:maxVersion.

    '''extensions.sqlite''' replaced the '''''extensions.rdf''''' file in Firefox 4.0 and later versions. It is not a simple "text" file as the RDF file format was.
    Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by "get the firefox key".
    If you are looking to edit the maxVersion for an extension, do the edit in the '''install.rdf''' file for each particular extension.

  • All of my photos now have the same photo when I look at them in the viewing area.  I have to actually open the photo itself to see the actual photo.  this makes it impossible to work with the photos in iphoto.  Help!

    All of my photos now have the same photo when I look at them in the viewing area. It makes it look as though all of my photos are the exact same! I have to actually open the photo itself to see the actual photo.  this makes it impossible to work with the photos in iphoto.  How can I return it so that I see the photo itself in the preview area? Thank you!

    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. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. This can take three or four goes.

  • I cannot see the actual pictures on the photos page

    in each picture is an icon of a Canadian flag.  Only when I click on each flag can I find the actual photo.  How do I get the actual pictures to show up again?  I think it is one of the updates on iphoto that caused this issue.  Any advice would be much appreciated.

  • Events folders display photo that is not the actual photo file

    When I open an event file, the photos displayed are not the actual photos. For instance, in the event "Graduation," I now have random photos of my daugher's dance recital displayed, but when I open them, the photos are indeed of graduation. So, I can't see what photos are in an event until I open each photo file There is no rhyme or reason to what photos randomly pop up on the surface, and it doesn't happen with all the files within an event, just some. Please tell me someone else has had a similar problem as it is making me feel a bit batty!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How do I recover the original jpg photo files from my computer? They are embedded in the iPhoto Library and I cannot see the actual file.

    I am trying to locate the original jpg or photo files that I uploaded from my camera. I know that the photos are there, because they show up in my iPhoto Library. Where can I go to find the original file ex: DSCN1242.jpg or OLM4564.jpg ?

    Select the photo in iPhoto and use the command "File > Export" and set the "Kind" in the Export panel to "Original". That will write a copy of the original to a folder you can access in the Finder.
    The command "File > Reveal in Finder" will show you the original inside the iPhoto Library, but you must not access the files this way. If you access them from other apps using the Finder, you will corrupt your library.
    See Terence Devlin's user Tips:
    iPhoto and File Management
    How to Access Files in iPhoto
    To what purpose do you need to find the files? Is there a problem and iPhoto giving an error message about missing originals?

  • IPhoto 9 does not save edits, cannot see the edited photo except in the edit panel

    Hi Friends,
    I am a macbook pro user, OSX 10.6.8, iPhoto 9 - 8.1.2
    The problem - noise edits of my pictures are not saved, I do not see the edited version of the photo in the iPhoto album or event, my photo prints only monochrome on the HP 1280 inkjet printer and that too only the original version.
    Crop edits are however saved as are enhancements.
    Solutions tried thus far - creating a new library by holding the "option" button pressed on launching iPhoto and importing pictures to the new library - no good.
    I have seen the Library Manager based solution on these forums, so where to get the library manager.
    thanks for your help

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List there.
    For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.

  • I can see my photo in the events window but I can't see the actual photo

    I can see the preview of the photo but when I try to open it I get a gray exclamation point.  How do I find the original and or why is this happening?

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. .

  • When I download pictures from e-mail each picture is about 3 times the size of my screen. I cannot see the whole photo at once. I have to scroll down through the picture to see it all. It distroys the effect of the picture. Is there a way to adjust this?

When I open Iphoto, my thumbnails are there, but they aren't linked back to the actual photos. I see the original photo files in my HD. Is there a way to link the Iphoto thumbnails back to the original files?

    Use the Firewire cable and t boot the old Mac's hard drive to the new Mac's desktop and transfer your entire iPhoto folder.

  • Cannot see the output file in my first project

    Hi,
    I follow the instructions of Exercise in Chapter 4 of CAP-0501 to make the project. I wonder why I cannot see the output file in 'C:\CAPExercises\0501\exercises\Active_Project\Output'.
    There are two things I would like you know.
    1. I do not have the file 'prjFileXferInput.xml', but find and copy a xml file. Is this a problem? Does CAPS have any special requirement on schema for the input file?
    2. Is '\' and '/' a problem for Java CAPS? I notice the book using 'C:/CAPExercises/0501/exercises/Active_Project/Output�, while it is 'C:\CAPExercises\0501\exercises\Active_Project\Output' on windows. I am working on a standalone Windows 2000 computer.
    By the way, can anyone give me a confirmation that '/' and '\' is not a problem for Java CAPS, as the server or application take care of it? Is it true?
    Thanks,

    I am answering my own question. The project works.

  • Finding the actual video files you have just imported

    Hi everyone,
    does anyone know, where the actual video files are stored on your machine once you have imported from a dv-cam into iMovie. I've searched everywhere for them and can only find the project file.

    Hi abbotm50:
    Welcome to discussions!
    If you right click on the projects folder you should see the contnts-->media folder. They are in there.

  • I have just opened 2 new albums in photo but cannot see the albums thru' itunes when syncing my ipad or thru' the screen saver on ITV

    I have just opened 2 new albums in photo but cannot see the albums thru' itunes when syncing my ipad or thru' the screen saver on ITV . My photo apps is Version 1.0 (209.52.0)

    Have you tried deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-trying the photo sync and see if they all then copy over (you need to select and sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go, as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad) ? The location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
    Don't know about the Facebook photo emailing, but there are a number of apps that allow to upload photos to their site (e.g. the 'official' Facebook app).
