How do I add the pictures folder to the go menu in 10.8.4?

I know I can put the folder in the dock, but I'd rather have access to it through the "go" menu. Is that possible?

No.
But clicking on "Home" will open your User account folder and Pictures folder is just another click away. You can also drag it to the Finder sidebar menu to access it from any Finder window.

  • I have 8000  photos in my iPhoto library.  Many are duplicated in the "Pictures" folder in the Finder.  Is there an easy way to detect and delete duplicates in the "Pictures" folder?

    Anyone know how to detect and delete duplicate photo files that exist in the Pictures folder in the Finder that are also in the iPhoto library?

    There's no way to compare the photos in the library with those outside the library.  However, as long as you're running a "managed" library
    You can import batches of the photos, i.e by folder, into the library.  If the photo is already in the library you will be given this notice:
    Check that checkbox and clik on the Don't Import button.  When that folder is finished importing (or not) delete it and go to the next.
    If you need to check for duplicates in the library you can use one of these applications to identify and remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
    iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
    Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free
    Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported into another.
    PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
    DeCloner - $19.95 - can find dupicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.

  • My iphoto library folder with files of my pictures is missing from the pictures folder, only the application icon remains.  I have read through similar discussions but have not managed to fix the problem with the recommended solutions.  Can anyone help?

    I have a Macbook Pro with iphoto '08 running on Mac OS X version 10.5.8.  I used to be able to go to my pictures folder on my HD and access my pictures via that iphoto library folder.  There used to be a small arrow next to the iphoto icon with all the albums then listed within the folder (to the right).  That arrow is now gone and all I have is the iphoto application icon which just reopens iphoto when I click on it, but I want to be able to access the data files.  Somehow I do have files btwn 2008 and 2009 but it hasn't created these since then...Could someone please help me to restore this ability?  I have read other similar posts but they seem to be related to lost data all together and I do luckily have all my pictures in iphoto still. I just can't access them in the pictures folder which means I can't access them on my external hard drive.  I am now out of start up disc space somehow so I figured I had to delete some albums (I have 12,090 pictures) and do have them backed up but want to make sure I can go back for them when I need them.  I did export all the pictures to a folder on the hard drive but it is all 12,090 in one long list with only numbers as names and not in any order, this will be a nightmare to access later!  Please help!  Thank you!

    You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.
    That indicates that that is your library.  Put it in your Pictures folder if it already isn't there and make sure it's named "iPhoto Library".  It should look like this:
    Now launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select that library to open.  If you get that same message close iPhoto and try the following;
    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • HELP: How do I add a "DOWNLOADS" folder to the dock on my wife's account?

    Hi,
    My Leopard has 2 accounts... Mine which is administrator and my wife's which is a user account. For some reason there is no "Downloads" folder on her Dock so when she downloads a file she has trouble finding it. How do I add things to her dock... most importantly a downloads folder?
    I have tried but can find no way to do it....

    drag the downloads folder from a finder window into the dock. you'll probably want to drag to the right of the divider line.

  • How can I see my Pictures folder in the Media Browser?

    This is something that doesn't only bug me in Pages, but also in many other applications, so if you have a solution that works for all media browsers, I would appreciate that.

    Thanks
    Returning to the PDF User Guide I found:
    +• Press the Command key, and then drag an image file from the Finder to the document window until you see the insertion point at the place where you want the image to appear. Release the image when you have placed it where you want it.+
    +• Click Media in the toolbar, click the Photos button in the Media Browser window, select the album where your picture is located, press the Command key, and then drag a thumbnail to the document window, releasing the image when the insertion point is at the place where you want the image to appear.+
    So, it seems that the fact that pictures which aren't in the iPhoto library doesn't appear in the Media browser is a deliberate feature.
    I will file a message about this subjet but I feel that the hope to get an enhancement is really small.

  • How can I add a Mail folder with the "Inbox, Sent, and Trash" folders?  I have Windows 8.1

    After I installed the 7.0.6 update, my iPhone crashed & had to do a restart.  I saved my Contacts.  I've been syncing my iPhone to store data on my PC instead of iCloud.  I'm assuming all of my pictures etc. are in the iPod Photo Cache, which I cannot open since they are THMB files.  How can I view all of my "lost" data without having to pay for the "Converter" program, which according to many of the people in my boat, say doesn't work & is a rip off?  I'm also trying to put an "Archive" folder back in my Mail folder.  I've tried to follow instructions but my iPhone 7.1 does not have the same options.  All of this is so frustrating.....load an upgrade & screws a lot of stuff up.  Just like "Trust this computer?" on 7.0.6 update.  Anyway, I hope someone can help with these minor problems.
    Thank you.

    Not in Mail. If you referring to not having to use the menu, you can click the + sign at the bottom to create new mailboxes. But you still have to fill in the window with location and name. You can right click to create a new mailbox on an existing one, but not in the main account itself and you still have to fill in the info. It would create a sub folder.
    You can also try it at the gmail website. There might be shortcuts there.

  • Can some please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates?  I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my Mac

    Can someone please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates?  I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my new Mac.  I ended up getting a bunch of duplicates. My old Mac has an older version of iPhoto while the new Mac has iPhoto '11.  Is that the cause of the problem?  Please advise.  Thanks.

    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

  • How do I add a "file folder" to my TC so that I can save files directly to the TC?

    I am trying to figure out how I can add a "File Folder" to my TC so that I can save files directly to it? The only folder it displays is "Data" which is where my bac ups save...

    Double click on the "Data" folder in the Finder under the SHARED heading, and then click the gear icon at the top of the window and select New Folder.
    You can name this folder anything you wish and also create as many folders as you wish.
    If you are also using the Time Capsule drive for Time Machine backups, it is not really recommended that you "mix" regular files with Time Machine backups because there will be a struggle for space on the drive at some point.
    If you have plenty of free space on the Time Capsule drive, you may be OK with keeping a portion dedicated for regular files.

  • Hi I currently have about 20,000 photos in I photo, which the 'info' displays as being 68GB's worth. However the I Photo Library with the Pictures Folder displays it's size as 341.21GB ... Why would that be? How do I look at what's in the I Photo Library?

    Hi I currently have about 20,000 photos in I photo, which 'info' displays as being 68GB's worth. However the I Photo Library within the Pictures Folder displays it's size as 341.21GB ... Why would that be? How do I look at what's in the I Photo Library to figure out what's happening, and if there's stuff in there I need to delete?

    Best to keep the terms clear.
    You export photos from iPhoto.
    You move the iPhoto Library to an external disk.
    They're are quite different processes. Exporting means at the end you have a file outside iPhoto. Moving means the files are still inside iPhoto.
    So if you say:
    I'm currently exporting the  library to an external drive
    That reads like I''ve selected all the photos in iPhoto and am exporting them to a folder on this external drive, and at the end I'll have a folder full of photos outside iPhoto. Is that what you mean?
    Is it best to have a 'master' I photo library on an external drive for all the thousands of pics Im never really going to look at often - and a smaller one kept on the HD for day to day usage ...
    Best? Hard to know. It might make sense on a portable. But if you're on an iMac why do you need a smaller one on the internal? Why not just have the whole library on the external? There is no performace hit.

  • Iphoto shows two photo libraries with the same name, one in small letters the other in all capital letters. they both open the same library and the only one in my computer. How do delete the capital letrs one as the one in the pictures folder is in

    In my  iPhoto application when I select switch libraries It shows 2 libraries with the same name, but one has the name is in Capital letters.
    They both open the same library which is in the Pictures folder. This is the only library I can see and the name is not in capital letters?
    How do I get rid of the one in capital letters

    What is your iPhoto version?
    when I select switch libraries It shows 2 libraries with the same name, but one has the name is in Capital letters.
    In the Library Chooser Panel look for the pathes to the two duplicate libraries. You will see the location of the libraries in the path bar at the bottom of the window when you select one of the libraries. Does it show both libraries in the same folder?

  • How do I add my Applications fold back onto the dock? People say I must drag it near the trash can, but that just puts it past that barrier. I am trying to get it back to where it disappeared from, on the left hand side near the finder icon.

    How do I add my Applications fold back onto the dock? People say I must drag it near the trash can, but that just puts it past that barrier. I am trying to get it back to where it disappeared from, on the left hand side near the finder icon. And how / why did it disappear?

    With respect, you actually cannot store folders on the left side of the Dock - only on the right side. I wonder if you're talking about Launchpad, which looks like a silver rocket and shows you your installed applications? It's not actually a shortcut to the Applications folder, though. You can certainly drag Launchpad into the left side of the Dock from the Applications folder.

  • Pictures and events seem to be disappeared of iPhoto, as if it had just installed . However, libraries remain in the 'pictures' folder. How to return them to iPhoto? Thank  you

    Pictures and events seem to be disappeared of iPhoto, as if it had just installed . However, libraries remain in the 'pictures' folder. How to return them to iPhoto? Thank  you.

    What is your iPhoto version? If you are using iPhoto '11, simply double click the iPhoto library in the Pictures folder to launch iPhoto on this library.
    In earlier versions hold down the options/alt ⌥-key and double click iPhoto in the Dock to get to the Library Choser panel. Use this to point iPhoto to the correct library.

  • How to make iphoto read the pictures folder?

    I have thousands of pictures in subfolders in Pictures folder, and not iphoto library. How do I make iPhoto read all those images in those own subfolders? I DO NOT want iPhoto to copy all the images to another folder, as that makes the filmstrips things way too large (thousands per view) slowing iPhoto way down, and I already have all the pictures in the folders I want them in. Apple isn't that stupid, so of course there is a way for iphoto to simply read other folders and use that as a library instead of just copying all the pictures to another folder. So: How do I do this?

    But organizers really and truly should be able to start with existing folders and work from there.
    We are dealing with the application that is here, not the one you think should be.
    I tried dragging folders into iPhoto, but it just said it couldn't import the pictures.
    Where are the photos? You've been saying they are in the Pictures folder. Are they in the iPhoto Library Folder? iPhoto will not import from the iPhoto Library Folder - a sensible protection against duplication. If the pics are in the iPhoto Library Folder move them outside and then import. If they are not in the iPhoto Library Folder can you give me details of any error messages you are getting, or what exactly you can see in the iPhoto Window.
    Importing photos would just put everything into folders by year.
    ? Where would this happen?
    Is there some way for Front Row to read something other than an iPhoto library please?
    Not as far as I know. But you could post on the Front Row forum.

  • How does iPhoto treat the "Pictures" folder

    I usually import my photos from my iPhone or iPad.  I plug them in, iPhoto pops up, i import the photos and erase them from my mobile device.  That way I leave space in my mobile device.
    But I was recently sent a few pictures via email.  I have them in a folder called Estancia which I have placed in my Pictures folder (the one created by OSX automatically).
    However when I open iPhoto, those pics are not displayed.  Obviously since I havent imported them into iPhoto.
    My question is, how should I do that?  If I import the folder, wont I have 2 copies of the same picture (one in the Estancia folder and another inside the iPhoto Library-folder)?

    Import the folder normally; by default, you'll then have two copies of the photos, and can then delete the copies in the Pictures folder if desired. You should back the photos and entire library up as well.
