Finding Picture Files On The Macbook

I'm new to the Macbook and I'm unsure as to how I can go about attempting to locate where an image is stored on my system. When I go into the change desktop area I see an image displayed but I cannot seem to find where it is located on my hard drive. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

You can manually find picture files by searching using the term .jpg, .tif, or .gif. These are the most common types of picture files. Do this by going to Finder, then File > Find (apple + F). You can delete the files right from the resulting window.
You can also open the Find window and search for all images. Searching for images is one of the options that you can use; this option is in the box that says Any (the top right of the four boxes under the areas that you can search). Select Any > Images. This allows you to search for all images on your computer.
If you use spotlight for this search, you'll only be able to open the files.

Where can I find my picture files in the finder?

I download iPhoto with another person's account, so I never could update the new versions; because I don't know the password, and the person cannot enter to the account anymore. Now apple doesn't let me open iPhoto, because the version is too old, 9.2.1 to be exclaty. Where can I find my picture files in the finder, so I can export them and save them?

There should be an iPhoto Library in the Users> "user account" > Pictures folder.
You may also try to see about finding them through the user finder window where it says search for 'all images.'
Not sure about the rest of that situation.
Good luck & happy computing!

I've recently been given a macbook pro from uni, with lots of adobe software on. I want to pair it with my iMac which has music etc and is it possible to get the software to the imac and the files to the macbook?Giving me the best of both :-)

You would need the original installation disks or files for the Adobe software to get it onto your iMac, and having it on two computers may not be allowed by your university's licensing. Talk to whoever issued the MacBook.
As to the music, just copy it over to the MacBook, either via Home Sharing, file sharing, or an external storage medium (hard drive, USB flash drive, etc.).

How do I OUTPUT an edited picture file from the iPad (latest) to an external USB for easy transfer?

I am a photographer and I use my camera and iPad everyday. Camera takes pictures, connect to iPad, edit pictures with iPad software, output to Internet somwhere (Dropbox, etc..).
However, sometimes I need to hand someone a USB stick with an edited picture on it that came directly from the iPad. I know that I could do it by buying another computer but that would be silly. I do not have another computer.
I need to get the picture file OFF the iPad onto an external storage device (USB stick for instance). Can anyone help?

Currently you can't use the camera connection kit to export pic to a USB thumb drive or an SD card.

IPod classic displays 'No music' after sync, HDD problem? Geschiedenis • Verwijder So recently I synced my iPod Classic 160 GB like I did so many times and when I wanted to play some music afterwards it couldn't find any files on the iPod anymore. H

So recently I synced my iPod Classic 160 GB like I did so many times and when I wanted to play some music afterwards it couldn’t find any files on the iPod anymore. However when you look in the settings it displays that ~roughly 90 GB free space is available. Seen the fact that I had about 60 gigs of music this doesn’t seem like a coincidence and I think my music is still somewhere on the ipod but the HDD isn’t recognizing it anymore.
I’ve tried resetting it, and resetting it to factory settings, which didn’t work. When connected to a desktop it won’t be recognized by iTunes, it displays an error message that the iPod cannot be read and that I have to reset it to factory settings.
I’ve spent some time researching this problem yesterday and I ran into a myriad of vaguely similar problems didn’t really offer any help. Currently I’m thinking that formatting the iPod might work, and restoring the software afterwards. However this is a rather bold strategy so I’d like to consult you here first.
Thanks in advance!

Hi turingtest2,
Thank you for the info, with formatting my iPod I managed to connect it to iTunes again.
However..in the page you linked to there is a section about how transferring large amounts of data can dump your library. That seems to be the problem in this case. It won't even allow me to transfer more than 2 gigabytes of music per sync, if I go higher it will dump everything again. Having over >60 GB of music in my library, this is disastrous to say the least.
Do you think that there is any other solution besides the method you mentioned involving Smart Playlists?

What is the best way to find a file on the servers disk without using web.xml?

          What is the best way to find a file on the servers disk without using web.xml?
          I want to find a configuration file not contained within the war file I have
          created. Is there a way to pass information into the ServletContext with out
          rebuilding the ear or war files? Tomcat 4.0 can do this in its server configuration
          files. Does BEA have the equivalent?
          Regards,
          Eric


You can specify the path to the file as a system property
          eg
          java -Dconfig.file.location=./mydirecotry/myfile.txt com.test.MyApp

Does anyone know where the iWeb data files are located or what they are called? I can't find them. I looked in Finder for files named the same as my website, but found nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

Does anyone know where the iWeb data files are located or what they are called? I can't find them. I looked in Finder for files named the same as my website, but found nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

If you erased or replaced your hard drive since iWeb was cancelled, then they are gone. Otherwise, if you have maintained backups then check those.
Usually such files are in the /Home/Library/ folder or a sub-folder.
Exposing the /Home/Library/ Folder
Pick one of the following methods:
A. This method will make the folder visible permanently. Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and paste the following at the command prompt:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN.
B. Click on the Desktop, press the OPTION (⌥) button, select Library from the Finder's Go menu.
C. Select Go To Folder from the Finder's Go menu. Paste the following in the path field:
~/Library
Press the Go button.

I have the Numbers-applications on both Mac mini and Macbook Air. My problem is that they don't sync so when I create a Numbers-file on the MacBook while travelling, it will not be on my Mac mini when I get home :(((

Hey iWeb plubishing problems,
I would first check to make sure that you meet the system requirements for OS X to support Documents in the Cloud. For that your Mac’s needs to be running at least OS X Lion 10.7.5 or later to make sure that everything syncs. Take a look at the article below for more information.

How do u find itunes files on the computer

how do u find itune files on the computer mine wont load right

They are there as iTunes can't find the files. I get what you want to say. Try to remember if you had a hard drive or USB Stick containg Music? As removing it would cause iTunes to look for it. On a PC the iTunes apps and stuff are in Music>iTunes>iTunes Media

Finding my files from the terminal in recovery mode

I have a problem with my hard drive on my Macbook Pro. I bought it a year ago. The system will not boot up, the disk shows errors in the disk utility and disc repair fails. The support tech I was working with says we have to wipe the drive and reinstall, but I want to try to find some files and see if I can access them and copy them to an external drive before I do this. The disk utility will not create an image because of the errors on the disk.
I am proficient with Unix and would like to try to just access the files and copy them, I just need to know where they are in the unix directory structure, assuming of course that they are anywhere as files.
Any helpful hints would be apprciated.
Thanks,

The files on the startup volume would be under "/Volumes/Macintosh HD", unless you gave it a different name. If the volume isn't mountable, you'll of course get nowhere that way.

Can't find picture files on 30GB iPod

My hard drive recently crashed and I am trying to transfer picture files from my iPod video back to my computer. I have downloaded a program to help transfer the photos but when I open up the photos folder in My Computer there are only two folders an empty folder and a photo database icon. But when I disconnect the iPod and open the photos section all of my pictures are there. How can I find the pictures files? If anyone can help please let me know. Thanks

Check http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/ipod-software-windows for something to help you transfer the photos from the ipod. You may want to try copytrans ( http://www.copytrans.net/index.php ) as it copies absolutely everything from your ipod, then look in the directory created by it for your photos.

Unable to find par file in the list in EP 7.0 when i export form NWDS

Hi All,

Hi,
go to System Administration -->Support --> Browse Deployment and browse to the directory ROOT/WEB-INF/deployment/temp
locate the corresponding par file and Download it to your local system. If you observe the file extension, it is "bak", because SAP Portal renames the archives after it deployes the par so that it will not deploy it again. Remove the file extension .bak and rename according to the naming standards of your organization. I would recommend you to use the same naming of the file, remove "sap" and use your own company name, like com.mycompany.portal.navigation.masthead.par.
After this, you can import this par file in NWDS (Netweaver Developer Studio) by selecting File --> Import.
A word of caution, the importing does not import the jar files in the private/lib folder of the project structure. So, copy them manually to the new project you have created.
When you see the project structure, you can find the related file in dist --> PORTAL-INF -->jsp -->
You can change this file according to your needs and deploy it back to the portal.
create the ivew from par
hope it works for you

Once and for all: force spotlight to find ALL files, from the DROPDOWN

this is maddening. I want to be able to see ALL my files in the spotlight dropdown that pops down when I invoke spotlight. I know there are lots of posts on here on this, but none seem to help me much. here's what I want: when I click the little magnifying glass or press apple + space, and the little spotlight field appears in the upper right corner, I want to type something and have it search EVERY file on my system. I know, you open a new smart folder and click the plus and select "system files" "always include", etc... but that is not what I want.
in addition, I have tried to make a new "smart folder" (and Apple's definition of "smart" is just about the oddest one I've ever heard). I have the smart folder search all system files and all spotlight files (whatever the heck they are). I save the folder to the desktop and to the sidebar. I double click on it and guess what? both the customizations are gone, and I'm back to manually selecting them.
the folks at the genius bar are less than helpful, since I'm not trying to put pictures of my kid's recital on my iphone, so I hope someone can enlighten me here. thanks!

TS1362 My iTunes has stopped playing - it will not progress. I have updated iTunes, and can't figure out how to find any plug-ins - can't figure out how to find hidden files on the iMac Finder.

How do I find hidden files on my iMac? My iTunes has stopped playing music and videos - the playbar does not progress, and it may be that there is a plug-in that is stopping it. How do I fix it?

Well, it sort of solved my problem. Now every time I start a lecture with sound, there is no sound, but the slides advance. If I go back to iTunes and turn on a cd, it plays the sound. If I then go back to the lecture, the sound goes on. So each time I start a slide show with sound, I have to turn on iTunes. How can I fix this?

Finding a file in the past?

At some time in the distant past, I had a file, say "foo.txt", in a given folder. In the somewhat more recent past, I deleted that file.
When I enter Time Machine viewing that folder and enter "foo.txt" in the search text field in the folder's title bar, it always says "Not found"; and yet, if I manually go back in time, I eventually find "foo.txt".
It's been a while since I've actually had to recover a file using Time Machine, but I could have sworn that searching would automatically take me back in time to view the folder on the last date the file was present in it.
If that's true, then why doesn't it seem to work any more? If that's not true, is there a way to search for a file in the past?

Paul, yes, if you hope to perform any searches within the Time Machine interface, Spotlight will have had to index the backup drive ahead of time. That is why we sometimes see "Preparing backup..." for so long on occasions. Spotlight is re-indexing the backup drive before the new backup begins.
Naturally, if you find that your backup drive, when connected to your Mac, is in the Privacy pane of the Spotlight Preferences, then no indexing will take place. A by-product of that setup is that you won't be able to search the backup drive for specific files and folders.
Another factor to consider is this: When you are in the Time Machine interface, each window you see cascading off into the distance represent a single snapshot of your Macs' hard drive. Except for the first window. That represent your Macs' state as it is "Today (Now)". If you type a word in the search box while in this "Today (Now)" window, you will only get results of items that exist on your Mac today.
Now, click on the window directly behind "Today (Now)". That represents that last successful backup which may have taken place up to an hour ago. If you type a word in the search box while in this window, you will only get results of items that exist when that last backup took place. Go back farther and you will only get results from that particular backup - not the results of every item ever backed up by Time Machine.
That's why the Mac OS 10.5 Help docs states, +"Use the arrows and the timeline along the right edge of your screen to browse through the Time Machine backups. Your search is performed in every window. When you find the item you want to restore, select it and then click Restore."+
Does that make sense? Cheers!
