How can I save iPhoto Libraries that are in Trash?

Hello. I have been having troubles with iPhoto which are basically cured at the moment. However during the process I had to drag two iPhoto Libraries to my Trash.
My iPhoto is working fine at the moment, but I do not want to delete those two in the Trash for awhile yet. How can I get them out of Trash into a Folder to save them until I am sure I want to trash them? Can I create a Folder in Documents or Movies and save them there or some other place I can create a Folder to save them. I do not want them on my Desktop as they are quite large (15 and 22GB).
Thanks for any ideas.

Create a new folder on the desktop. Drag the libraries from the trash into that folder. Then put the folder where ever you want, including your Photos folder.
The desktop and trash are just like any other folder on your Mac. Their contents are stored on your hard drive, so they are taking up the same space where ever you put them. (You have to empty trash to regain the space the contents of trash take up.)

  • My computer crashed and I lost my itunes library.  How can I save the sons that are current on my ipod if I plug into a new computer and restore itunes?

    My computer crashed and I lost my entire itunes library.  If I replace the computer and re-load itunes how can I keep all of the music that currently on my ipod?

    Ipod syncing is not one way. You just have to know what to do...
    I can see you use windows. Connect ipod to pc, but don't install or dont open itunes - dont alow itunes to sync automaticly). Then open explorer, enable hidden files, open your ipod (as you would any disc) open hidden file with strange names and copy all of them on your new hard drive. Then drag all this strange-named files in your itunes...woooo...now those strange names become your songs...it is magick
    I you won't i can send you step by step guide...
    Take care.

  • How can I save iMovie projects that are in process to my external hard drive?

    I am working on several iMovie projects that won't be finalized until I have collected all raw footage.  I want to save what I have done thus far to my external hard drive.  I have tried to click and drag tot he drive but it won't drop.  What am I missing?

    OK you need to click VIEW/EVENTS BY DISK in iMovie. Then you can drag within iMovie. You must hold the Command key down as you drag, or you will COPY not MOVE.
    If you are trying to save space, the large files are in the Events. You can also move them by Command Drag within iMovie.

  • Software update failed how do I save the pictures that are on the phone?

    software update failed how do I save the pictures that are on the phone?

    You should have imported all pics taken with your iphone to your computer regularly as with any digital camera.
    Did you fail to do this?
    You would need to import them if you can.

  • I am using an Macbook pro in conjunction with a Time Capsule. I back up all my aperture librarys on it, but how can i view these images that are stored on the capsule please ??

    I am using an Macbook pro in conjunction with a Time Capsule. I back up all my aperture librarys on it, but how can i view these images that are stored on the capsule please ??

    If you want to see what is in a file that is backed up by time machine then you have to restore the entire file. Having said that I have had good experience with Time Machine and individual files... if the file is there then all of it's components are almost for sure there. A way to get around this in Aperture would be to use referenced images. The images then still exist as individual files and can be backed up and restored individually. You would have to do so on a file by file basis though and your album information would still only be saved within the Aperture library.

  • ICloud has loaded my contacts to my daughters iPhone how can I separate 2 devices that are on one account

    ICloud has loaded my contacts to my daughters iPhone how can I separate 2 devices that are on one account

    You can't. The whole point of iCloud is to sync contacts, calendars etc to all devices connected to the same account.
    For your daughter to maintain her own contacts and calendars in iCloud, she'll need her own iCloud account, using her own AppleID. Sign out of iCloud on your daughters phone then setup a new iCloud account for her:
    http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html
    (Note that this does not affect purchases made from the iTunes / AppStores. You can still use different AppleIDs for both iTunes and iCloud on the same device.)

  • How can I reload previous purchases that are lost of iPod

    How can I reload itunes purchases that are lost of both my ipod and my computer?

    Use the form on this page to request a free redownload, or use the Transfer Purchases feature if applicable. If neither of these works, you will need to purchase the content again to get them back; Apple needs to pay the copyright holders for each download from the iTunes Store other than podcasts, album artwork, and iPod touch/iPhone applications.

    Easy way, CLONE IT to another HD
    HD cloning software options:
    1. SuperDuper HD cloning software APP (free)
    2. Carbon Copy Cloner APP (will copy the recovery partition as well)
    3. Disk utility HD bootable clone.

    BAD IDEA
    You want one backup (ie Time machine) and one (or more) data archive of just all your raw files (drag and drop, or cloned etc.)

  • How can I delete duplicate songs that are appearing on my iphone but not in my itunes?

    How can I delete duplicate songs that are appearing on my iphone

    Hi jpere041,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You can delete individual songs, artists, albums, playlists, compilations and composers from your iPhone. To delete an item, swipe across it, then tap Delete.
    This information is on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide
    manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
    The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
    Regards,
    Jeremy

  • Can't see iPhoto pics that are edited in PS and saved back to iPhoto

    Photos that are edited in Photoshop and saved back into iPhoto don't show up in the iPhoto window. Only the originals show up. When I do a search, I see that they are saved in a "modified" folder inside iPhoto. How can I see them in the iPhoto window? I would like to "trash" some of them. Can I just drag them to the trash from the "modified" folder or will that foul up the iPhoto database?

    Maybe this will help:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    Click to view full size
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    Click to view full size
    that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    Click to view full sizes
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Click to view full size
    NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds.

  • How do I share itunes libraries that are on the same computer and associated with separate Apple IDs?

    My wife and I have our own Apple IDs, iphones, and separate itunes libraries. I'm trying to figure out whether we can share our libraries with each others iphones? Thanks in advance for any suggestions and insight.

    Hi there,
    First..I am new to this forum and find the information provided to be very helpful... I had followed the iTunes link above to enable sharing between users in the same computer but it appears to be working on partially. What setup am I looking for ?
    1. We have an iMac (Snow Leopard) with 1 Adult ID and 2 children IDs
    2. The iTunes music folder is stored in a Shared public folder where the Adult ID has read/write access and the 2 kids with read-only access (so that they don't accidently delete songs...:-)
    3. The iTunes on the Adult ID has the access to purchase songs. The kids have no acccess to buy songs
    4. All songs, podcasts to be visible to all users
    What has happened ?
    1. I am able to make the base of songs visible to all users
    2. However when a song is purchased by the adult account ..it is not visible to the kids account ..:-{
    3. The same thing occurs when a song is imported from a CD
    4. When a new playlist is created by the Adult account it is not visible to the kids account ..:-(
    How can I make changes made by the Adult be made visible to the kids without having the need to constant add music files or libraries for each kid..?
    Thanks in advance..

  • How Can I Seperate to Accounts that Are Currently Sharing (by accident)?

    Hi,
    I have accidentally, merged accounts with my daughter by using the same UserID (e-mail) and now they are shared.  How can i seperate the accounts again without losing any info, etc?
    Thank you

    I was thinking in line with purchased music. I have two accounts, by accident. Jobs stated on Mon day that the iCloud is the truth and iTunes Match doesn't care where you got your music. I am sorry if I gave bad advice.
