How can I find a group of lost photos from iPhoto?
When a recent Mac OS X update was installed on my computer which included the new Photo App, my iPhoto upgraded to this new app and was replaced by it on my desktop. In beginning to use the new Photo App, I discovered that it did not have the same editing functions as my iPhoto did. I decided then to go back to iPhoto, but when I opened up my iPhoto I realized in my album list that I had lost about a year’s worth of photos all the way back to the middle of 2013. I then decided to restore my computer to an earlier time using Time Machine so that hopefully my iPhoto would be restored with all of its photos. I went ahead and did this and had to do a rebuild of my iPhoto library to recover the lost photos. When I did this, I was not aware, that I had still lost some other photos out of albums from early September 2014. Before I was aware of this, I also erased my external hard drive and then did a backup because I kept getting messages in my computer that the computer could not do additional back up’s because there was not room on the external hard drive.
Earlier today, I tried to retrieve some photos out of albums from that. In early September 2014 and found that the album listed the photo number but there was no thumbnail and when I clicked on the photo it just brought up a silver triangle on black with an exclamation point in the middle indicating that that photo could not be found. I did a command option press and opened up iPhoto and I completed all of the various rebuilding and restoring options all the way up to and including restored iPhoto database. When I had completed all of this I found that I was still missing those photos, several hundred. I am wondering if these photos are still on my hard drive someplace. I could not restore them from the external hard drive because I had erased earlier backup versions, as I indicated. Is it possible for me to find and restore these photos? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.-MP
You created a mess and there is no solution - with the actions you have taken those photos are gone unless you have access to them from some other source - they existed in two place - in your iPhoto library and on your backup drive - you have traded the backup drive and restore an earlier iPhoto library so all you have is what you have

How can i find screen group system field?
Hi all,
How can i find screen group system field?
Thanks,
Nidhi KothiyalHi,
Do you mean by the screen-group which we give for the fields to be active or inactive in module pool?
You can find it in the attributes window which comes by double clicking on the field. In that give the group name in the 1st box in GROUPS.
Thanks,

How can I find my email in Apple Mail from before my company switched hosting providers? People with Outlook in my company have all of their old and new emails. My old emails have vanished from my Apple Mailbox on my macbook and other Apple devices. I do not have my mail backed up in time machine recently nor did I export my emailbox recently. Any ideas?
Try looking in your User folder.
Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Mail/V2
If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I have to use it again after every update. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible. -

How can I see or transfer my old photos from my iOS 6 iPod Touch to the 'Years, Collections, Moments' in my iOS 8 iPhone 5S?
For example, my mom's 'Years, Collections, Moments' in her iPhone 6 has pictures from her old iPhones, even her 3GSGreetings Yushk,
It seems you would like to transfer photos from your previous device to your iPhone 5S. I have linked to an article which may help you. You can transfer those photos to a Mac or PC, then sync them to your new device:
Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
After you import your photos from your iOS device or Saved Photos, you can use iTunes to sync them back to your device.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

How to restore the option to sync recent photos from iPhoto to iPad?
How to restore the option to sync recent photos from iPhoto to iPad?
I have Yosemite 10.10.2 running on a 2008 iMac
I have an iPad MD513B/A running version 8.1.2
On the iMac iPhoto is version 9.5.1, and iTunes is 12.0.1.26
I used to be able to sync photos from iPhoto (last 3 Events) through iTunes to iPad.
Where has that option gone? iTunes now only allows me to do now is to get pictures from the cloud to the iPad and I haven't prepared for that. So I don't have any pictures on my iPad to show my folks.
I can sync from iPhoto to my Classic iPod but that option has been removed from iTunes for the iPad by the look of it. I want it back so I can manage what I download to my iPAD.
Please can someone advise me how to restore the option to sync my recent photos from iPhoto to iPad.Where has that option gone? iTunes now only allows me to do now is to get pictures from the cloud to the iPad and I haven't prepared for that. So I don't have any pictures on my iPad to show my folks.
Have you enabled iCloud Photo Library (Beta) on your iPad? Switching on the iCloud Photo Library (Beta) disables the syncing of Photos with iTunes.
On your iPad check the Settings > Photos&Camera. Disable "iCloud Photo Library (Beta)", if you want to sync your photos with iTunes or upload your photos using "My Photo Stream".
On the iMac iPhoto is version 9.5.1,
Is there a reason why you did not update to iPhoto 9.6? That is the version, that includes the compatibility updates for Yosemite. -

Can I make a movie with just photos from iPhoto?
Can I make a movie in iMovie 11 using only still photos from iPhoto and no moving video?
Yes, you can. I just worked on a short movie project yesterday in which I added still photos to a short movie clip (caveat: I'm learning a new camera and iMovie 11 at the same time, so this answer comes by way of trial and error, not solid knowledge). After a few frustrated tries, I learned to use to Photo Browser to access my iPhoto library; then I learned you can only add photos to a project in the Project Library.
Since both methods you tried (Photo Browser and Window>Photos) were greyed out, and since both methods access your iPhoto library, my limited knowledge suggests that iMovie 11 can't find it. Apparently, the iPhoto library is the ONLY place that iMovie 11 looks for photos.
However, I just now tried dragging a photo from my desktop into a project in the Project Library, and it was successfully added. Give it a try. -
Why can't I just drag and drop photos from iPhoto on to my iPhone?
This has been something on my mind for a long time. For some reason I can't just drag and drop certain photos from my computer on to my iPhone. Why? There both Apple products. Shouldn't it be easier? For some reason I have to go through iTunes to select which albums I would like to import, but I'm working with raw files. My computer has over 250 gb of storage space. My iPhone has 16 gb. One of my even folders is 14 gbs. That would take up all the space on my phone. Is there a way to get around this? Why do I have to go through iTunes to put files on my iPhone?
Only Apple can answer that question, so you'll need to ask them.
But will your phone work with Raw files? If you're syncing from iPhoto via iTunes then that's not the raw file that's going over, it's the Jpeg preview from iPhoto.
As for the space issue, make an album of the photos you want to sync. -

How can you find out an individual image size from multiple images on a canvas
This is probably a really really simple question but I can't for the life of me find how I can find out an individual image size from multiple images on a canvas. eg I have 3 photos i want to arrange 1 large and the other two next to it half the size. How can I edit individual image size on the canvas as when I select the image on a sperate layer I want to resize it just resizes the entire canvas and not the individual image
ThanksI want to know they exact dimensions though. You can get them by dragging to the 0,0 corner and then reading off of the ruler scale on the sides but its fiddily as you have to zoom right in and work it out. I know in photoshop there is a ruler but is there any other way in Elements?

How can I find my other user account migrated from another mac?
I used time machine to backup all the data from my macbook and then I used the migration assistant on my imac and transfer those data to the imac.
Everything was successful and after that. I can see the new user account under my hard drive > User folder but I dont have privilege to open the file.
And on the other hand, I got no way to login that user ID.
How can I fix that?

what do you mean? do you mean the migrated user doesn't show up at the login window? or that the password doesn't work?

How can i find the location of an app from the search bar?
I need to delete an app on my ipad3. I know it's on there b/c I can find it in the search bar. But for the life of me, I can't find where the icon is, so I can delete it. The search bar doesn't tell me where on the pad it is.
I have 10-11 pages of apps with a lot folders created with at least 6 apps within each. Been searching for hours, while multi-tasking on other things of course !Go to settings> general> usage and delete the app from there. If the app is not there go to purchased at the bottom of the App Store screen and see if you haven't deleted it already.
