Default photo folder

Is there a way to change where the phone puts photos after u take them. I'm trying to use an app called photosync which only uploads photos from E:/images but the phone stores new photos in E:/DCIM/100NOKIA (very annoying)
I'm using a Nokia C7 with Belle.

You can as Neil described but it is important that the "remote storage" be directly connected to your system (wired ethernet, firewire, usb or other wired connection) AND that is is formated Mac OS extended (journaled) - the iPhoto library does not operate well on non Mac formatted drives

Using Aperture with photos in default Photo Folder in OS X (Newbie)

Hey guys...
I'm a new Aperture user (1 day) and fairly new to Mac's (5 months). I have a MB Pro with newest OS. Since getting the MBook I've been placing/storing all my photos in /Users/"lastname"/Pictures and then giving each photo "event" a new folder. I first started using iPhoto as an organizer and was not happy with using it. I had used Picasa on my windows machine and it took a few weeks to realize that there was a Mac version for Picasa. It was probably my own fault, but I couldn't figure out how to point iPhoto to my Photos Folder/Directory (maybe its old Windows habits)??? Because of this I installed Picasa and enjoy the easy croping/red eye/face recognition.
HOWEVER!, I wanted to move on to a real photo editor and got Aperture. Now to my question,,,lol
If I "import" all my photos that are currently in a folder/directory order, will Aperture create a duplicate library? And if so, do I bite-the-bullet and use Aperture as my one and only photo organizer, verse my old school ways of organizing photo folders on the hard drive and then going to the folders view via Finder to get a photo??
While writing this I referred to my photo Folder and noticed a iPhoto "library" ...when I click on it, it opens iPhoto and I see photos that I imported these few days I used iPhoto before Picasa. I guess maybe it means I need to get in habit of using the "library" when I want to search out photo for something (emailing, uploading to FB, etc)
What should I do? Tips?
Thanks guys!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
and don’t understand why Aperture don’t keep my folders in sync. So if I delete / add a photo to a folder, it does not update the folder in Aperture, as what you would get in Picasa.
Well the very obvious point is that it's not Picasa and doesn't work like that. Picasa is an attempt to use two databases (the Finder and Picasa) to manage the photos. Aperture simply uses one - the Aperture database. If that's not what you want then don't use it.
If I keep with Picasa, what’s the real benefit of using Aperture?
If you cannot see the opportunities that the Aperture offers for organising, and managing your Photos - including most obviously the tight integration with the OS, so that your photos are in every Open... dialogue on your Mac - and if you cannot see the far, far greater opportunities for post processing your Photos offered in Aperture compared to Picasa, then there is no benefit for you.
If, on the other hand, instead of trying to shoehorn Aperture into your Picasa workflow, you take a few moments to learn how to use it - say by looking at the Aperture tutorials on the Apple site - I think you'll find it's a much more powerful and capable application than your current choice.

Front Row default Photo folder

I use iphoto on my Mac.
I have noticed that when I watch my photos in Front Row, many of the photos that I previously deleted are still shown in Front Row.
Does anyone know where / which folder Front Row gets the photos from?
Thanks
Keith

Hi

what about streaming in quick time ?
what about song order in front row ?
VLC is the proposed software by my FAI ! but thanks anyway !

"All Photos" folder lost

I accidently deleted the "All Photos" folder, and when I clicked undo it didn't come back. I searched all the menu's but I can't find out how to replace the folder.
Thanks!

Oops.
Okay, do this:
1) Quit Aperture
2) Control click your Aperture library and select "Show package contents"
3) Move the "Built-in Smart Albums" folder to the trash
4) Restart Aperture
All the default smart albums should be back.
Be more careful next time

Why do i always create recovered photos folder every time i start up iPhoto?

Every time i open iPhoto '09 IO get a message that says, "74 ITEMS WERE FOUND IN IPHOTO LIBRARY THAT HAVE NOT BEEN IMPORTED, WOULD YOU LIKE TO IMPORT NOW?" I have tried to import and also cancel and it keeps coming up. What an annoyance!! How do I remove this because it creates a recovered photo folder in my library each time... It has done this ever since I bought the program just didn't have time to ask for help! LOL

Right Click - point to the iPhot library (by default in your pictures folder) and click on the right mouse button (or control - click for a single button mouse - or two finger click for a default track pad
You may want to invest in a couple of basic training classes

Importing a photo folder just with references creates a photo library 2/3 of its size. crazy!

after ignoring iphoto for many reasons over the last years i thought i give it a try with the new photo app.
i imported a 70gb photo folder - turning OFF to copy it into the library first, just refering to them - and now it ate up all my space by creating a 41gb (!!!) photo library just with references alone. so now i have a 70gb folder plus an index file that is 41gb big. i am beyond baffled.
am i doing something wrong here or are they crazy?
they cannot possibly think this is a smart way to store photos with the small internal hard drives they give us nowadays can they?

it gets even worse. "photos" has created empty subfolders of almost every photo in my original photo folder.
thank you apple. good job.

Whenever I try to open iPhoto, a message comes up saying that 148 photos have been found in the iPhoto Library that have not been imported. It asks me if I want to import them and I say NO but then it places them in a recovered photo folder. I keep deleting the empty recovered photo files but it just keeps asking me every time I go to open iPhoto! I'd love to just get rid of the "found" photos (I can't open them anyway!)
How do I get rid of them so that I can just open iPhoto straight up without this?
Linda

Open your iPhoto Library package with the Finder.
Click to view full size
look for a folder titled Import or Importing and move it to the Desktop. Launch iPhoto to see if the message goes away. If there is no message check the contents of the Import folder to see if you want to keep any of those image files (usually they have not been imported into iPhoto). If you want to keep them then drag the folder into the open iPhoto window to import.

How can I change the default save folder in MP Navigator for saved scans?

I am using MP Naqvigator with my Canon MP600 multifunction device and saving to an external drive is clunky because each time I save a document I have to browse to the device and the destination folder. I have tried to find a way of setting the default save folder from /users/myname/pictures/mpnavigator to volumes/drivename/foldername so that it speeds up the process. I've looked at all of the preferences files for the MP600 in the application and support libraries but can't see any reference to that default path. I'd be very grateful for any solutions from other Canon users.

It should still work the same way. I changed mine in either Snow Leopard or Lion and it remains the way i Changed it in Mountain Lion.
bob[07:25]~>defaults read com.apple.screencapture location
/Users/bob/Documents/ScreenCaptures/
to change it I had entered:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /Users/bob/Documents/ScreenCaptures/

Can not sync more than one photo folder to my phone. lost all photos???

Can not sync more than one photo folder at a time from my computer to mu iPhone. How do I get the drop down box to choose my photos, so I can manually pick photo folders???? Lost all my photo folders on phone.

Create a parent folder on your computer to contain the folders of photos you want transferred to your iPhone. Select the parent folder under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. To add an additional folder of photos to your iPhone, place the folder of photos in the parent folder followed by a sync.

I wish to put my photo albums in alphabetical order. Advice was to right click on pane at left. I do not have a left pane on my i-pad and only have touch screen,what do I "right click" with and how do I get a "left pane" in my Photos folder?

I would like to put my i-pad photo albums into alphabetical order. The advice received previously was to "right click" on an album in the left pane. I do not have a left pane in my photos folder, how would I get this? Also I only have touch screen so what would I "right click" with? thank you

I don't have iPhoto on my iPad, so I can't help with that, but you must have looked at advice for a Mac computer? Maybe browse the iPhoto for iOS forum?

How do I add a 'photo folder' to my itunes account so that I can transfer photos from my computer to my ipad?

I'm trying to get photos transfered from my computer to my Ipad. My Itunes does not have a 'Photo' folder to place my photos. I can find everything but a 'Photo' folder (Movies, Podcasts, IUniv, Books etc). Any thoughts?

9850,
you can do it by creating sub-folders within the folder that is selected to be synced.
e.g. Folder "Photo" has been selected to be synced to your iPad.
Create two sub-folders e.g. "Family" and "Vacation" within "Photo" folder and put photos in both sub-folders instead of "Photo" folder.
Now sync your photos and in photo's tab, after you have selected "Photo" folder to be synced, make sure you select all Folders as example below:
Once completed you will find both folders "Family" and "Vacations" are in your iPad's album including Camera Roll. e.g. below:

How can I delete a photo folder from my iphone 4s?

how can I delete a photo folder from my iphone 4s?

Hey Ravengirlaa,
Great question! The answer is going to depend on how the photos were originally organized:
A) The albums were synced to your iPhone from iTunes
B) The albums were manually created on your iPhone from photos in the Camera Roll
The following excerpt would apply for situation B:
excerpt from page 71 of the iPhone User Guide - http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
If the photos were synced from your computer, please refer to this article (section "To delete photos and videos from your device"):

Can I restore a single photo/photo folder from Time Machine/Time Capsule

Hi
So I'm usuing Time Machine to back up my MacBook to Airport Time Capsule.
If I somehow lost a couple of photos and its taken a few months to realise, can I retrieve just these photos/photo folder or do I need to restore my whole photo library going back to a past date - and then how can I be sure which date to restore back to - is there anyway of actually viewing the photos for a certain date before restoring?
And if the only way is to restore the whole library, what happens to any new photos that were added to the library between present day and the date I would be restoring back too?
Would it be better to move my photos from the app Iphoto to a documents folder for future use? This is assuming that in a documents folder you can view and just retrieve a single document... Havent tried it yet but that was my understanding...
Hope this makes sense
Many thanks in advance

Learn from Pondini, who knew more about Time Machine than anyone.
http://pondini.org/TM/15.html
See the green box for links for iPhoto instructions according to the version that you might have.

No. Even if you did this, you would not be able to retrieve individual photos since iPhoto is a special type of package file.
