Default Location of Photos

Novice iPhone G3 user here, my 5-year old deleted several hundred photos from my phone. I had backed up my phone to my MAC two days before this happened--stupid question, where is the default location those images would be?

Did you import the photos with iPhoto if you use iPhoto for importing photos from a digital camera and from your iPhone's Camera Roll and use iPhoto for photo storage and management on your Mac, or with the Image Capture application located in your Applications folder?
Although photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process, it isn't a good idea to depend on your iPhone's backup or on your iPhone alone for this data. Photos in the Camera Roll should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. You can't access this data direct from your iPhone's backup, but you can try restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup. If you haven't synced your iPhone with iTunes since these photos were deleted from your iPhone, do not sync. When selecting restore, you will be prompted to update your iPhone's backup which you want to decline or these photos will be removed from your iPhone's backup when the backup is updated.

What are the PSE 8 default locations for photos and catalog files in Windows 7?

I can only find this information in the Knowlege Base for XP and Vista.
Thanks for help

The default locations for catalog folders on Wndows 7 is the same as on Vista:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/515/cpsid_51536.html
To find out where the current catalog folder is located, do Help > System Info.
The default locations for photos are under My Pictures on Windows 7, as compared to Pictures on Vista.

I set my iPhoto to save photos to a non-default location. Now I can't find my iPhoto albums in iTunes, even when looking in my non-default location in the "Sync Photos from" menu. How do I fix this?

When you launch iPhoto with the option key depressed you'll get this window:

All libraries on your hard drive (and on external drives) will be listed and the currently used library will be listed as (default).

TS1314 How do you change the default location address (in My Pictures) of the IPOD Photo Cache ?

How do you change the default location address (in my pictures) of the IPOD Photo Cache ?

You do no specifically. It sounds like you are syncing a folder to the iPod. In that case:
From a Folder on Mac OS X, Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7
The iPod Photo Cache will be located in the folder you selected to sync with.
Thus, you have to change the location of the folder you sync with.

How to create and maintain a backup catalog, separate from default location, on and external HD

How to create and maintain a backup catalog on a separate hd - separate from default location of the catalog?

Simply copy the LR catalog backup file to another location. It’s quite small and only contains metadata e.g. your edit develop settings, keywords, captions, titles and camera exif data etc.
The LR backup does not physically copy your image files. So make sure you have a separate system backup for your photo files and folders.

I moved my iPhoto libraries from one hard drive to another and have to manually locate the photos, every time!!!

I moved my iPhoto libraries from one hard drive to another and now every time I open a library I have to manually locate the photos. After locating the first file, it works well and remembers the location of the files of all the events, even when the folders containing the actual photos are in several different locations.
The problem is that when I close and open iPhoto, it does not remember where the files were and I have to locate at least a file, all over again.
Does anyone knows if there is a way of making iPhoto "remember" or saving the location of the files?

By default, iPhoto will store its library file under ~/Pictures. To select a library manually in iPhoto:
Ensure that iPhoto is closed.
Hold down the Option key and click on the iPhoto icon in your Dock or launch it from the Applications folder.
Click on Choose Library.
Locate and select the library you wish to use.
Close iPhoto and re-open it. Does it remember the library that you selected?
For more information on moving your iPhoto library, see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1229.
Hope that helps, have a great day.

How do you get iphoto to recognize that a computer really is connected to the internet? I cannot use places to locate my photos, because the software keeps telling me my computer is not connected. I know the computer is connected.

How do I get iphoto to recognize that a computer really is connected to the internet? I cannot use places to locate my photos, because the software keeps telling me my computer is not connected. I know the computer is connected.

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. It the problem persists make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
If the new library does'nt have that problem then your original library is damaged. Post back if that's the case and we'll go from there.

How do I change the default location for iPhoto media?

On my MacBook Pro, I have a 250 GB solid state drive. More than 140 GB of that space is taken up by images and video in my iPhoto folder. I want to purchase an external hard drive to store my iPhoto media so I can free up space on my Mac's hard drive. I can drag and copy the images/video to the new external hard drive, but in the future how can I change the default location to the new external device? I looked at iPhoto preferences, but see no setting that would re-direct media from my camera. Please help.

Copy the library to the external hard drive. Then launch iPhoto with the option key held down and choose the library on the external hard drive.
Run the external library to make sure it has all of your photos and works as expected. It will not be your default library.
Once you're sure the external library is good you can delete the library on the SSD.

Can I move the default location of the iPhoto library to an external source, leaving a preview image on my main HDD? Do I need to move to something like Apature to do this?

Can I move the default location of the iPhoto library to an external source, leaving a preview image on my main HDD?
Do I need to move to something like Apature to do this?
I currenlty have a NAS which holds all my images.

Yes you can, but you really, really don't want to.
You can store your photos on the External and have iPhoto link to them in that location. It's called having a Referenced Library.
In this scenario iPhoto creates an alias to the files in the Library and that's why you don't want to do this. Aliases work fin when everything is on the same volume or disk. However, if the alias points to something on another disk or volume and something in the path to the file changes, then the alias is broken. That means you could find yourself fixing each alias for every single photo in your Library, one at a time if something goes wrong.
And heaven forbid you would ever want to move the files to another disk.
See why I say you really, really don't want to?
Also note, that your edited photos would still be on the internal HD as they are always stored in the Library.
Aperture, on the other hand, can deal with this scenario quite easily, and has tools to reconnect to the original should the link be broken

ITunes library not in default location doesn't show up as shared library

My iTunes library will not show up on my network as a shared library. It is not in the default location for Windows (Documents and Settings\<user>\My Documents\My Music\iTunes). I can find no reference anywhere that this should prevent a library from being seen by other iTunes users, yet that seems to be the case.
I have two other iTunes libraries on computers on my local network. Both show up on each other's machines, so this isn't a firewall issue. All my machines are running the same level of Windows XP Pro.
On one machine, I actually created a library in another location, then shared it. It was not visible. Once I recreated the library in the default location, it was again visible.
Does anyone have a any ideas how I can troubleshoot this? I really don't want to copy/move what is now a very large library and there's nothing to indicate that this shouldn't work.
Thanks!
Michael Greis

Normally all you need to do is copy the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on one computer to <User's Music> on the other. If you've made things more complicated see make a split library portable.

Changing the Default Location for Backups

I've just downloaded PC Suite 6.81.13.0. How do I change the default location where backups are stored on my laptop? The default location stores the data in an location that is not compatible with my company network profile. I want to store the data in a different location, but I can't see any option to allow me specificy the location.

You have to re-index your Library by dragging/dropping the main Library folder into the Loop browser.

Changing the default location PowerPoint uses for templates

I do not want to use the default location MS Office initially configures for templates that is buried in some obscure folder on a local machine in that only Office know about. Instead want to keep my templates in the same location on a company server
with the rest of my materials so I can access it from my company laptop or from the Virtual machines I am forced to use in other company locations. This way I will have my templates everywhere I work. When I make changes they are available to me everywhere
I work and are not buried in a folder on a laptop or a virtual machine in a conference room half a world away.
MS Word allows users to configure this default location for templates but no where in PowerPoint can I find any way to configure this location. Previously on my laptop I have been able to configure the default PowerPoint template location, I believe, by
setting the location in MS Word; however, this is not happening for me now on the virtual machines I am using when away. I have scoured the Options settings and if it is there it is well hidden.
To make matters worse I am trying to use what PPT is providing to me while I sort this out and when you try to open "My Templates": there is a message that says:
"To add a template to My templates, click the File tab, click Save As, click Trusted Templates, and then save the file as a template."
Of course when I follow these instructions there is no folder named Trusted Templates on the left side of the dialog box. I am not sure why it is so difficult to allow us to configure this ourselves for each program but apparently it is.

Hi,
Please refer to this kb below:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/924460/en-us
As mentioned, if you use Word 2007 or Word 2010 to change the location in which your new templates are saved, you also change the location in which all 2007 Office program templates or all 2010 Office program templates are saved.
Office programs use one registry key to record the user templates file location, you can browse to the following path to check if it's recorded:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\General
The user templates location is stored in the
UserTemplates
string value.
If it doesn't exist, try to manually add it, check if this helps. Detailed information can also be found in the kb introduced above.
Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps
carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756/en-us

Changing the default location of MPN Navigator EX saved files

Friends
I am writing this on behalf of my brother who owns a Canoscan 9000 f and struggles with the following issue.
When he scans and saves his scanned image the Navigator EX does always want to save in the default location which is something like C: Users/admin/pictures/Navigator EX/
But he does not use that location, but would like for it to remember the last location he used. Or at least use one that is closer to the ones he usually uses. He says that having to manually choose the correct path every time is both time consuming and irritating.
Any way to change that behavior?
I think he is running Win 7 64 bit.
Thanks

I run a Mac lab at a high school. I, too, would like to be able to change iMovie's default save location from a user's Movies folder in their network Home folder to a folder on a workstation's local drive.
The only answer I've found is to train users to change the save location of their new project BEFORE beginning work on it. This necessitates clicking on the black triangle beside the Save As file window so that other save locations besides the network Movies folder (such as the local drive) appear. This is by no means an intuitive operation for most users. iMovie was clearly designed without a networked lab in mind.
I also train teachers using the Mac lab to inspect their students' network Movies folders, which should be EMPTY at all times--otherwise the lab grinds to a halt.
