CHANGED FOLDER NAME IN FINDER- NOW IPHOTO CANT FIND FILE

I was trying to organize my iphoto files through the finder. So I renamed and grouped similar files. Now the photos cannot be found in iphoto.
How do I reset the folder settings?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
The point of iPhoto is that you do all your work in the iPhoto Window. It does the work in the background.
Then if you need the files to upload somewhere or for some other reason:
*For Users of 10.5 Only*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
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*:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *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.
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.

  • Finder automatically changing folder names...

    Finder is automatically changing folder names... say I have two folders side by side titled:
    Financial
    Miscellaneous
    Sometimes, and for no apparent reason, the "financial" folder will, when I click on it, change to "miscellaneous" and will show the exact same files no matter which one of the two I click on. I know for a fact that each folder holds two entirely different sets of documents...
    What is going on here? How do I stop it from doing this?

    We are experiencing this issue on both ppc and intel machines and it appears to be isolated to the Finder as the terminal reports properly. The commonality is network shares, it does not seem to matter if they are nfs automounted from solaris, smb mounted from a linux box, etc etc, nor does it matter if an admin user manually mounts these shares, the issue persists. I, like a previous poster on this subject was skeptical given the symptoms but kept an open mind and then witnessed this anomaly for myself. We can now re-create it at will. I have narrowed it down to the 10.4.9 update and it continues through 10.4.10, in my testing, the issue does not exist in 10.4.8. The Finder version changes from 10.4.6 in OSX version 10.4.8 to Finder version 10.4.7 in OSX version 10.4.9, the Finder versions do not coincide with OS versions. Swapping in the older Finder did not solve the issue so there are other culprits involved. It may not even be the Finder at issue, the issue may reside in the way OSX mounts shares and simply manifests in the Finder. Odd behavior to say the least, one good thing is that while the data appears to have gone away, it's actually safe and sound and a reboot/logout-login resolves the issue. Deleting .DS_Store, force re-launching the Finder does not seem to help nor does deleting caches, preferences, etc, the only solution I have found is to revert to 10.4.8.

  • Ran Security Update 2015-002 Version 1.0 now I cant find my apps or view files under my home folder

    I just updated my system with the Security Update 2015-002 and now I cant find any of my applications that were located in my applications folders, even when I go to the folder with my name it will not show any folders. Where did all my stuff go?

    Permission Issues - Troubleshooting
    You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type:  ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

  • Relinking changed folder name

    I am in need of a script that will, when prompted to relink broken links, update the path of a changed folder name.
    So no matter where the "old file name (X)" is in the link path, it will be updated to "New folder name (Y)"
    Also I now very little about scripts so if anyone knows a simplified website that explains how to utilize them that would also be super helpful.
    Thanks!

    Check out the Links section on this page. Probably you you will find something close to your needs.

  • Ok  so i downloaded movies and now i cant find them in my library

    ok so i downloaded movies and now i cant find them in my library anywhere i can find them in my account under purchaces

    Can you give a few more details on what you're seeing and not seeing?
    Can you see the songs listed in iTunes?  With the sidebar enabled (CTRL-S in iTunes 11 if you can't see it) do your see your purchased songs listed if you select Purchased under STORE?  Something like this:
    If you see a list like this, right-click on one of the songs and select Get Info / Summary tab.  It should show the location of the file containing the song:
    (the default location will be C:\Users\user_name\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\artist_name\album_name).  I'm assuming that you're not seeing this, since anything that's under Purchased should also be in your main library (Music under LIBRARY at the top of the sidebar) and you should be able to copy it into playlists, etc.
    If you don't see this, can you find the music files on your computer?  Again, the files should be under C:\Users\user_name\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\artist_name\album_name if you're following iTunes defaults and allowing it to organize your library.  Even if that's not the case you can run Windows Explorer and search your whole computer, using the name of the song or just *.m4a as the search string.  If you can find the music files but they are not listed in iTunes, you can re-import your songs into iTunes (File > Add file to Library ... or File > Add Folder to Library ...).
    If you still can't find them, either in iTunes or on the computer, you may still have two options.  The first would apply if you have the songs on an iPod or iPhone, the second would be to re-download (not re-purchase) from the iTunes store.  You'll find tutorials in these forums for both cases.  At the end of the day, though, you're encountering a problem that would be more readily addressed if you'd been maintaining a regular backup of your iTunes library.

    Hi. I am trying to use Bridge to make web galleries. There used to be something on PS for that but now I cant find it in PS so I was advised to use Bridge.  However, there is something called Output Module (AOM) that is missing from my Bridge.  I downloaded this.  The instructions say :Copy the Adobe Output Module folder (not the AOM_Package_[OS] folder) into the Bridge CC Extensions folder in the appropriate location: 
    Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Bridge CC Extensions
    Mac OS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CC Extensions.  However there is noplace on my Macbook Air running Yosemetie that has this /Library/Applications SUpport/Bridge CC Extensions. Can anyone advise?

    That file could be set as a Launch Agent or Daemon in your ~/Library or /Library, You could try to look for it or Safeboot your computer and then empty the trash. Safebooting disables Launch Agents/Daemon and Third Party Kernal extensions. Here's the article to Safeboot OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support

  • I downloaded Safari and now I cant find the icon, i downloaded Safari and now I cant find the icon

    for some reason I dont have Safari on my computer.  I have been using Firefox but want to safari on my macbook pro.  So i downloaded it and now I cant find it  please help. 

    It may be that Safari is right where it always was, in the Applications folder, but that you deleted its icon from the Dock. Type the first few letters of "Safari" in the Spotlight search box at the right end of the menu bar. If Safari appears in the results, launch it, then drag the Dock icon where you want it.

    It should be in the Movies part of your library - if you select Movies, then is there a Rentals tab on it with that film in it ?

    Doing a factory reset will delete your Firefox install. Even if you move the app to the sdcard.

    I just downloaded itunes 11 and now i cant find the display duplicates..and it doesnt show the total amount of songs in my library..anybody know..??

    Two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates. Use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist.
    There is also my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background.

  • I just exported an imovie movie but now i cant find it on my imac

    it took 3 hours to export but now i cant find it anywhere on my imac

    Hey,
    What I would do is open up the export window again as if you are going to export the movie and see where the location is set to export the video. Then go find it on your computer. I hope that makes sense.

    Files (PDF documents) are not stored in Acrobat or Adobe Reader; they are simply files on your disk.
    If you mean what program should open your PDFs by default, use Edit | Preferences | Select Default PDF Handler to specify the default program.
