How do I find photos in hidden folders?

I am trying to find photos where the automatically download.  The folder seems to be hidden.  How can I find it?

Hey Jeneedshelp,
Open a Finder window. In the upper right corner is a search box. Type a word from the name of the image file ("car," "vacation" or whatever it might be) and hit enter. The Finder window will display a list of entries including that word, and should include your image file. Highlight one of the search results by clicking on it once, and at the bottom of the finder window you'll now see the path to that folder. That will show you where those image files are hiding.
Often it will be under Macintosh HD > Users > (your name) > Downloads.

  • How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?

    Hi !
    I'm using LR 5.7.1 on a Mac.
    When I've retouched raw pictures with PS CC (and do not need the PSD file any longer) I export the PSD (that is in my catalog) as JPG and let it add to my catalog automatically. After that I delete the PSD file. That works fine.
    But .... the new JPG file is not assigned to any collection. That's no problem unless I forget to do it manually after that export (and import).
    That brings me to my question.
    How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?
    I tried it with a smart collection after I found nothing suitable in library filter. The search criteria I tried are Source -> Collection with any of the conditions. One with an empty value field, then with just a space and so on.
    Has anybody a good hint for me?
    Thomas

    You can also add numbers if you have collections that don't use alphabet characters.

  • How do I find photos without a keyword tag?

    How do I find photos without a keyword tag?
    And by the way a further question regarding keyword tags remains unanswered...Why is there a difference between the number next to the keyword and the actual index number in the keyword folder?

    I will try and explain in more detail to ensure we don't talk past each other.
    I'm in "Catalog" and "All Photographs" is highlighted.
    I selected to show the "Index Number" under "Library View Options".
    In "Keyword List" I have main keywords such as Europe, Africa and Asia with no number to the right of it.
    If I open the Europe keyword I have a list of countries each of them with a number next to them.
    Next to Spain there is now showing the number 46.
    I open "Spain" by clicking on the arrow to the right of the number.
    Now all the photos with the Spain tag is shown but there are only 23 photo.  Under Portugal there is 80 shown but only 40 photos is shown.  Under Ireland the keyword only 11 is shown but once open there are 1132 photos.
    There is not one keyword with the correct number next to it.
    As a fairly new LR user it just appears to me that the two function don't "speak" or "correlate" with each other.

    When folks did not know that it was there, they assume that it is hidden. Even the EU and the US congress got all up in arms about it.

  • How do i find photos from iPhoto to upload to ebay?, how do i find photos from iPhoto to upload to ebay?

    how do i find photos on iphoto on my mac to upload to ebay?

    The first of these:
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • How can I find photos that are not in any event?

    Help!  I have finally, after a decade or so, organized my events and emptied out the trash and gotten rid of duplicates. Round of applause, please.  How can I find out if there are sneaky pictures that are NOT in any particular event (please dont say by showing all photos and just going through each one!)

    You can't because every photo is in an Event already. That's how iPhoto works. Every photo is in the LIbrary. The Library is built upon events. SO if it's in iPhoto, it's in the Library and in an Event.
    Albums are different, as they refernce photos in the LIbrary. It;s perfectly possilbe to have a photo in the Library but not in an album.

    Welcome To  Discussions litebeam!
    Exactly which model Mac do you have, and exactly which version of OS X is installed?
    If you have Cheetah 10.0.x, as you computer specs state, then you do not have Photo Booth.

  • How do I find photos from my iphone which have been synced to my PC (Windows 8).?

    I cannot find photos in my PC which have (apparently) been copied over from my iphone when I sync. Any suggestions where these are stored?
    Iain

    Photos taken with your iphone are not part of the sync process at all.
    You should be importing them as you would with any digital camera.

  • How can you find photos taken today when connecting to pc

    You screwed up the software for any one using the Iphone as their camera, I used to use it constantly, but now I can not because of the way the new software recategorized my photos. The sub file folder names are totally useless to any one downloading to windows computers. Now I am forced to use another device an actual separate camera because of your screwing with the software handling of the photos. After all of your commercials about how people were using their Iphones as their primary camera, now you have made it useless to anyone using a PC to download their pictures!!!!!

    Even after transferring all of my photos to my computer and deleting off of Iphone, as soon as I take additional photos and it creates another photo folder under the DCIM that has meaningless combination of letters and numbers but it still has the same date of 01/06/2014. This is stupid to say the least. When you create a new folder it should have the date created or modified not some obscure date that is meaningless. And if it creates a new folder every day with the same meaningless info (name and date)then it renders the Iphone useless as a camera!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    While not elegant you can use this method to find the latest photos relatively quickly.
    1. Open DCIM folder on the iPhone with Windows Explorer.
    2.. In the search bar type in an * (asterisk).
    3. This should display all of your photos including the date they were taken from all folders.
    4. Sort photos by date to locate the date range you need.
    5. Right click on any photo in the date range and then click on "open file location"
    This should open the folder with all the files in that date range. If the photos have been split over 2 folders then repeat the operation for the first and then the last in that date range. Also note that for some reason you cannot drag and drop nor copy and paste from the search results. You need to open the containing folder.
    Hope that helps until Apple fix the problem!!!

  • How do I find and remove hidden files

    For some reason, after the recent install of SL my 1TB drive is extremely bloated. I have deleted or moved just about everything possible from the disk (excluding system files and applications) and it still shows that I only have 94.08 GB of space available.
    Is there a good piece of software out there that will help me to find out if there are several hidden files and remove what is unnecessary?

    Wow ... that was enlightening. I discovered that somehow there is a hidden folder on the 1TB drive entitled "volumes" and within that folder is a subfolder entitled "Mega Drive" (my self-titled name for the 1TB boot drive), which is an exact duplicate of my previous hard drive.
    A little more about how I got here. I had to computer in to the Apple Store, after upgrading to SL, for what I initially though was a hardware issue. The Genius felt it was software, did an erase and install. When I got the macing back I tried to us Migration Assistant to copy files from my Time Machine drive, it took all night so I wasn't awake when it finished. I suspect that is where this folder came from, as the next day I could not find the information on my computer, so I started manually moving the files from that drive.
    The bottom line is this ... is it safe to remove trash this entire folder?

  • After update iMovie and OS Yosemite recovery, iPhoto icon disappeared. How can I find photos stored on iPhoto?

    I am using iOS Yosemite 10.10.3. After update iMovie version 10.10.08 and OS Yosemite Recovery. iPhoto icon disappeared. I opened the Photos icon but all my images which used to be in iPhoto were not there. How do I access those images in iPhotos?

    Go to Finder>Applications and open the iPhotos app.
    Apple want you to use the new Photos app which now should be in your Dock. Photos will import your iPhoto library
