Finding the source of the photo

ok new to iphoto. i just imported a bunch of photos from a folder with many photos. i see that i have duplicates.
a.) how can i view the source of each photo to determine where its located on my hard drive?
so that i can delete the right photo or folder...

dcginc:
If you imported the photos into iPhoto they will be located in your User/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals folder. If you didn't delete the original set of photos that you imported then you will have two sets. Where were the photos located when you first imported into iPhoto?
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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How do you save your photos in iPhoto and be able to find the photos when you are in different programs. When i try to find them I can only find the iPhotos not the individual photos.

    Help us to help you: There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
    With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
    Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance. (And no, more exclamation marks do not get help faster or make your issue seem urgent. They just make it seem like you have a stuck key )

    Here to help shed some additional light on this case, jdondr. I also own a Maxx. With your phone, if you access the Gallery, there should be a folder named: Messaging.  If you look at the upper left hand corner, you should see a drop down box. Is it currently set to Albums?

    i edit the pic in ulbums.
    now i want to move my albums to the pc.
    i read the support answer about it but i cant find  the photo tab on the left side under the ipad device.
    thanks
    amit

    It doesn't appear on the left-hand side, a Photos tab appears on the right-hand side of your computer's iTunes when you've selected the iPad 'device' on the left-hand side - but that is only used to copy photos to the iPad, not to copy them off.
    To copy photos to your computer that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page -  on a PC you can use the windows camera wizard

  • TS3988 cannot find the photo files in iCloud

    I've been a Mac nut for 20 years, so I feel puzzled. But i cannot find the photo files in iCloud in order to download a few I want onto my macbook air. ideas?

    The only way to sync photos between mac and devices is to use Photo Stream, but you cannot view photo files in icloud.com.  Do a search (or google search) on photo stream to get all the info on this service.
    BTW, if you had a MobileMe account and are trying to find photos in the gallery, there is no such service in icloud.  All the mobileme galleries are deleted by now.

  • I saved photo into iPhoto slideshow, but now I can't find it.  I wanted to open it in iPhoto so I could edit the photo and make it lighter.  How can I find the photos I saved into iPhoto slideshow?

    I need advise about saving photos into iPhoto.  When I chose to save a photo, I chose it to be saved into iPhoto slideshow because that's the only choice I had that mentioned iPhoto.  Now I can't find the photo in iPhoto.  What did I do wrong?

    Post in the iPhoto forum where those experts are.

  • I downloaded 200  photos, an event folder was created, I could see all the photos and was in the process of editing them when I got a message that iPhoto unexpectedly quit.  I cannot find the photos anywhere on my computer now.  Is there anything to do?

    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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

  • HT4858 My iPhone was stolen and I can't find the photos...

    My iPhone was stolen and I can't find the photos I took with it of a certain day from last week, only from the day before and the day after. How can I retrieve them?

    If they are not on your 'My Photo Stream, you only other option is try to restore an iOS device from a backup of your lost iPhone (either via iTunes or iCloud, where ever you were backing up to).  Obviously you will need ot inherit and iOS device to do this.

    How do I turn on My Photo Stream?
    After your devices are up-to-date and you have set up your iCloud account, it’s easy to turn on My Photo Stream on any of your devices:
    iOS devices: Go to Settings > iCloud > Photos (Photo Stream in iOS 6), then turn on My Photo Stream.
    Mac: Go to System Preferences > iCloud, then select the checkbox for Photos (or Photo Stream). Click the Options button and verify that the My Photo Stream checkbox is selected.

You can also adjust your My Photo Stream settings in iPhoto or Aperture Preferences.
    PC: Open the iCloud Control Panel for Windows and select the checkbox for Photos (Photo Stream in iCloud Control Panel 2.x). You can click the Options button to verify that My Photo Stream is enabled and adjust the settings. Be sure to click Apply when done.

    Restore from an iCloud backup
    If you have a new iOS device, or if you need to restore your iOS device to resolve an issue, follow these steps.
    Follow the initial steps in the iOS Setup Assistant (select your language, and so on).
    Select Restore from iCloud Backup when the assistant asks you to set up your iPhone (or other iOS device).
    Select the backup you created earlier.
    You can restore a backup only by using the iOS Setup Assistant.
    If you've already set up your device, you can erase all current content to go through the iOS Setup Assistant again. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Do this only if you already have a backup, because this step will remove all current content from your device.
    Restore from an iTunes backup
    If you have a new iOS device, or if you need to restore your device to resolve an issue, follow these steps:
    Connect your iOS device to the computer that has your backup.
    Make sure this computer has the latest version of iTunes.
    Choose File > Devices > Restore from Back up.
    If you're using iTunes 10.7 or earlier, right-click the device from the list and choose Restore from Backup.

  • Because I have deleted photos, Iphoto gives error that it cannot find the photos

    Because I have deleted photos in my albums, Iphoto gives an error for each file saying it cannot find the file. Is there a way to stop it from looking for deleted pics?

    Are you running a "referenced" library?
    If you are did you delete the source photo via the Finder and not from in iPhoto?  It sounds as if you did.  If that's the case then drag the thumbnail to the Apple Trash Bin and empty it.  That will stop the error message. 
    If you're running a managed library and deleted the original file via the Finder that's the reason.  The same fix applies.
    WARNING:  Never delete a photo that's in the iPhoto library via the Finder. That damages/corrupts the library as you've experienced.

  • How do I find the photo software that comes with J3608 printer?

    I recently bought a computer with Windows 8.1 and downloaded the compatible printer driver for my All-in-One J3608 printer. On my old computer, with Windows XP, when I installed the same printer, it came with a photo program. But the new printer driver either doesn't come with photo program, or I can't seem to find it on my computer. I just want to edit my photos. Does the new printer driver come with a photo program or do I have to download one? Can you help? Thank you.

    Hi Quinty66,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see that you are having trouble editing photos, I am glad to help you with this issue.
    I would try the following steps:
    1.) Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    2.) Use the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows, for the re-install.
    See if that installs the photo program for you, otherwise try the software on another Windows XP machine. If it works on XP and not on Windows 8.1, then that means, that is the only software available for Windows 8.1.
    Hope to hear back, and have a great day!

  • Is there a way to find the photos that iTunes backs up from the iPhone?

    A friend of mine had to replace his phone and something happened when he added the new phone. He can't find his photos that should have been backed up. There must be a file somewhere where they are saved on the computer I would think. Can it be accessed? Also what about contacts?

    Thanks for the info. Not sure what he did or if he is very tech savvy. He and his wife bought 3G S phones and her's froze up after a month and had to be replaced. I don't know for sure if he had backed it up or not. I know he went to the Apple Store to get it replaced and he asked them about transferring the contacts and they said they couldn't because the phone was froze up. I know they had it just over 30 days. I don't think they were using another program for their contacts either.
    Along the same lines another friend was asking about the photos and if there was a way to access them from the backup on the computer. He also had to replace his phone, but restored it from backup and got all his photos back. He was asking if there was a file somewhere to access those photos on the computer. I don't know how tech savvy he is, and maybe he doesn't realize that when you connect your phone to the computer that it gives you the option to view the photos and then copy them.
