  • How do I recover the original jpg photo files from my computer? They are embedded in the iPhoto Library and I cannot see the actual file.

    I am trying to locate the original jpg or photo files that I uploaded from my camera. I know that the photos are there, because they show up in my iPhoto Library. Where can I go to find the original file ex: DSCN1242.jpg or OLM4564.jpg ?

    Select the photo in iPhoto and use the command "File > Export" and set the "Kind" in the Export panel to "Original". That will write a copy of the original to a folder you can access in the Finder.
    The command "File > Reveal in Finder" will show you the original inside the iPhoto Library, but you must not access the files this way. If you access them from other apps using the Finder, you will corrupt your library.
    See Terence Devlin's user Tips:
    iPhoto and File Management
    How to Access Files in iPhoto
    To what purpose do you need to find the files? Is there a problem and iPhoto giving an error message about missing originals?

  • How to transfer pics from 1 library to another iPhoto

    How can I transfer pics from one iPhoto library to another iPhoto library, without having duplicated the space on the harddrive?
    Will the space (GB) duplicate when I copy the pics from one library into the other and delte the 1st one or will it stay the same?
    please help!
    rewards given!

    Hello,
    I think this is likely what you want...

    When done you should occupy just one space, but be sure you have a backup if it's important.

  • Photos in my iPhoto library will not enlarge when double clicked on.  they fill the screen and then screen goes black.  hasn't happened before.  thanks--

    photos in my iPhoto library will not enlarge when double clicked on.  they fill the screen for a second (or less) and then screen goes black.  hasn't happened before.  thanks--

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: 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. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: 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.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/ Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help: As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Old iPhoto library into new iPhoto

    Ok, to begin with let me apologise in advance for how this question is written. I am not the most savvy person when it comes to this type of thing but I am trying, I promise. So, I'm on my second MacBook Pro because my old one died a death after 5 years (and a toddlers intervention), a helpful guy at at Apple store got the harddrive out for me (a shiny piece of silver) which he said held all of my photos and music - the only two things I was worried about. With the help of this drive type thing that I plug this harddrive into, I was able to move across all of my music onto my new MacBook Pro but knowing that my photos would be a bigger job, I left that until I had more time. Well, I have just attempted to do this and it simply wont. It says its something to do with versions numbers. I can drag the library from the old harddrive (just the whole thing as I don't know if there is a specific sub-file that I need) onto my new desktop but when I think try to drag the old library into my new iPhoto, it simply wont read it. I have no idea what my old version number is but it would be pretty old, perhaps last updated 2-3 years ago. My new iPhoto library is version 9.2.3.
    In short - what is this girl doing wrong? Please tell me I haven't lost all of my old photos forever? The man in the store said it was fairly straight forward, he could have migrated things at the time but I didn't buy my new MacBook Pro until a week later and my old harddrive had already been removed. All I want to do is have all my old photos with my new photos in one place, I am not worried about any tags or names or faces or place information that is saved with the old photos as I really only use it for a storage type place instead of utilising all the cool options (I should, I know) so if there is an easy way that your Grandma would be able to manage, please let me know.
    Thank you!

    You don't have to drag the library to the iPhoto icon. You have to double-click the iPhoto library to open iPhoto with it, and then, you should be able to access to the photos of your library. I recommend you to copy the iPhoto library to a different folder before doing this, because iPhoto will upgrade the library to make it work with your version, and if this fails, you will lose all your photos

  • HT5037 I installed the iphoto library upgrader and iphoto still will not open

    I installed the iphoto library upgrader and iphoto still will not open. can anyone solve this?

    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 early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    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.

  • About a month ago I couldn't access 100s of pix from my iPhoto library.  I then went through the process of "re-finding" all missing pix.  I 2x checked that they opened.  Now, I'm having the same original problem!  What's iPhoto doin with my pix?

    Try rebuilding the library.

    I have Prem. Elements 12.  I am trying to add audio media.  I know where the audio files are located (using GET INFO while in iTunes), and when I try to add certain audio files, some are accepted and some are not.  In one case, when I opened a particular folder, the song was not listed, even tho' the song is there when using Windows Explorer.  This happens with mp3 and mp4 and just wav files.  Some audio are accepted, most are not.  I get that codec is not installed error message, too.

  • How do I access iPhoto Library Outside of iPhoto?

    I am attempting to upload some pictures to Kodak Gallery....and I can't find any files with my photos in them. I find an icon that says "iPhoto Library" but you can no longer access.
    Can someone tell me how I get a look at my photos via file folder and where they are hidden??
    Thanks!!

    VERY common question
    The photos are now in a Package rather than a folder
    You can see the package by going ot your pictures folder and right clicking on the iPhoto library ad selecting "show package contents"
    The safest way to access you photos is to export them to a desktop folder and access them there.
    while it is best to stay out of the package since it's purpose is to keep users from damaging their iPhoto data base - see TD's discussion here -- http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1126400&tstar -- for more information

  • How do you apply the iphoto library upgrader to iPhoto?

    I just upgraded to Mountain Lion which was fine. However, afterwards I upgraded to the latest iphoto version and now it says that I need the iPhoto Library upgraded. So I downloaded that application. However, I have no idea how to make the "upgrader" do whatever it needs to do to the iphoto application? Any ideas? I tried dragging the iPhoto Library Upgrader application onto iPhoto but that did not work.

    Hello, I have the same problem...but when I go to Applications/Utilities/iPhoto Library Upgrader - then double click on it, it gives me this message.
    When I try to open my iPhoto it still gives me this message:
    I really don't know what to do. I tried everything possible.
    Maybe someone has experienced it also?
    Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

  • How do I add to my library, while keeping songs on external hd

    I have a huge music collection on an external hd. When I "add to my library", the songs are being saved on my macs hd- I dont want that to happen.
    I would like to be able to access my entire music collection thru itunes without using up all my macs memory.
    My old pc used to add songs to my library, while keeping the songs on my external hd.
    Anyone have any idea's
    mac book   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  
    mac book   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Another option is to have your iTunes library stored on your external hd.
    Hold down the option key when you load up iTunes and you'll be presented with a dialog that asks if you want to open an existing library or create a new one. Create a new one and save it to your external hd.
    Import your songs from wherever they are (I recommend enabling the copy to iTunes library setting in your options and then once you're satisfied, delete the originals which will now be duplicated).
    From now on, everytime you load up iTunes it will automatically launch the library on your external hd and everytime you add a song it will automatically copy to the right place on your external hd.
    Front Row will also act the same... it will automatically pick up your external iTunes library with no extra configuration. Easy.

  • How to Import My Entire Photo Library into New iPhoto 11

    I just got a new laptop and want to move all of my photos from my old Macbook Pro with iPhoto 09 to my new laptop with iPhoto 11. Should I do it via a backup on my time capsule or will I loose all my folders and events? I tried to drag and drop like I did with my music and it will not work. I also tried the migration assistant and it did not come over with the applications, nor did my documents...

    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network, Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    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.
