How many locations does iphoto 6 place either scanned/imported

I'm trying to clean up my iphoto library on my new MacBook. I've gone into the hard drive and opened my iphoto library only to find that all my photos are in three seperate folders; data, motified and originals. If I trash the data and motified folders will I lose the originals?
Thanks to anyone that can answer this question for me.

PLEASE,
Do not tamper with the iPhoto library from within the Finder!!!
Doing so can damage your library to the point where you may have to start over again. There is no need to "clean up" the iPhoto library files in the Finder. iPhoto is a database application; you need to let it store files where it wants to, or it will not be able to read them.
Those 3 seperate folders contain different types of files. Originals contains all your original, full-size photos. Modified contains anything you've edited, including pictures that have been automatically rotated. Data contains the thumbnails that iPhoto creates so you can see and scroll through the small images in the iPhoto window.
Anything you want to "clean up" should be done within the iPhoto app itself. Organizing your rolls and giving them descriptive names will make iPhoto organize your pictures into nice folders. If you do not wish to keep the modified version of a photo, just right-click on its thumbnail and choose "Revert to Original." There are many other things, methods of organizing, ways of saving storage space, that you can do in iPhoto. If you search this forum you could find lots of interesting suggestions.

  • Where does iphoto place photos when imported

    I have been importing photos of a recent trip and need to move them off the hard drive to save space. Where does iPhoto put them and can I access them from an external drive within iPhoto?
    thanks
    Shelley

    By default they are copied to the iPhoto library - but you do not touch them there
    you can run iPhoto off of and external drive -
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive
    After doing this you can delete some photos from the old library instead of deleting the whole library (deleting and emptying the iPhoto trash  and the system trash every 100 or so photos ) so you have some of your photos on your main drive and all of them on the external drive - switch libraries using the command-lanch
    If you do this you will find iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  very helpful in managing the multiple libraries

  • How many records does JDBC adapter can obtain in one polling?

    Hello everybody,
    I need to do an interface between legacy system and SAP ECC, the legacy systems have a DB so i use the jdbc adapter (sender) and receive the information to SAP ECC with proxy, so i need to activate the polling option from my jdbc adapter working as a sender, i read a table with lot of records, and i need to know how many records does jdbc adapter support when the polling is executed, because is necessary read all records from the table and change the status of the processed field.
    Is possible to get all the records from that table in one polling interval (50,000 records aprox)?, or i need to do the polling by blocks of records until finish all records from the table?, the second option, i dont have idea how can i do it.
    Regards,

  • How many images can iPhoto 2.01 hold?

    How many images can iPhoto 2.01 hold? What's the maximum.
    And why does iPhoto occassionally crash when dragging folders of images into the Album list area?
    thanks,
    Hairfarmer

    I have 70,000 RAW images arranged in directories by year/day.  The only thing slow about it is during catalog backup. When first starting LR it takes a couple of minutes to enumerate the dates with photo counts, but that occurs in the background.  I detect no database related slowness while editing or performing random accesses and searches.  I have seen no difference in the above after having upgraded to V4.
    The only slowness that I find annoying has nothing to do with the database.  It is after a certain number of spot removals of varying sizes. The larger and/or more varied the spot size tends to accelerate this.  At some point it starts disk thrashing and becomes impossible to work with (I have to back up to a history step when it was running OK, which can take several minutes).  When this occurs the task manager shows a high rate of page faults, meaning it is swapping out stuff to disk (even though I have plenty of unused ram).  This suggests a problem with the compiler, but that is just an wild educated guess.

  • How many speakers does laptop 2000 have it doesnt seem to play as loud as it did

    how many speakers does laptop 2000 it doesnt seem as loud now

    You are correct, here is what Apple Says:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3775
    I was able to find these instructions, however they referr to 2009-2011 27" iMacs. I think it's the same, if it's not then contact Apple directly for instructions. If either of the machines is less than 90 days old or covered by AppleCare then call AppleCare tomorrow for help, they should be able to easily answer this for you. You will find the number in your manual or you can use the AppleCare Contact Info link.
    Your iMac should automatically recognize the presence of a digital video signal at the Mini DisplayPort and enter Target Display Mode.
    If your iMac does not automatically enter Target Display Mode, press command + F2 to manually enter Target Display Mode.

    There is no limit, as long as you pay for the licenses and make sure you have a robust system to support user connectivity and demand.
    Hyperion Enterprise is the previous Consolidation tool most commonly used by many companies. Think of HFM as the "New Generation"....

  • How many hours does a brand new battery last after fully charged. I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro.

    How many hours does a brand new battery last after fully charged. I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro.

    clintonfrombirmingham is right, there is no way to exactly tell. But from personal experience, a new battery on a 2008 will last for about 2 1/2 hours with a higher screen brightness and doing something taxing to the battery (like gaming or running lots of 3D programs). But if you're just listening to music with the brightness all the way down, and no programs running, you could get up to 12 hours. So for average use, it should last you a whole business day (assuming you don't use it more than 30% 0f the time). Hope this kind of gives you more of an idea of what to expect:)

  • How many pictures does a 30 GB ipod video hold?

    how many pictures does a 30 GB ipod video hold? and i know it is probably somewhere on the website but i couldnt find it. could someone please answer me soon, thank you.

    A 30GB iPod will hold as many photos as will fit in 27.75GB of space. If some of the iPod's capacity is used for music or other purposes, fewer photos will fit on the iPod. Apple's site specifies 25000 photos.

  • How many sessions does SAP allow you to have ??

    Dear Memebers,
    How many sessions does SAP allow you to have ??
    a) 3
    b) 6
    c) 9
    d) 12.
    I guess the right answer is B and C but in choices I have to select only 1, which answer will you pick and Why ??
    Thank You.
    Madhu.

    > I wanted to know for sure what is the answer.
    Hi Madhu,
    If you are going to ask questions such as these, then please indicate that you have searched and what you do already know and where & why you have a doubt somewhere which is worth discussing in the forum or sharing opinions or experiences on.
    Just asking for the answer only so that you don't feel too alone when answering 6 in the interview is of little value.
    Normally such "answer a, b, c, or d only or be quiet"-type-threads (like certification tests are) are deleted. That is the rules, and we have them for a reason.
    Anyway, you guys seem to have sorted this out amongst yourselves so there is no reason to interfere here IMO. Thanks for that.
    Cheers,
    Julius

  • HOW MANY SONGS DOES A 30 GB REALLY STORE

    Hi-how many songs does a 30 GB really store--currently on approx. 1140 and I'm near half way full--I am concerned I think perhaps I should have gotten the 80GB

    "Also is there a way to buy songs from the iTunes Store in apple lossless?"
    Unfortunately no. That is one of the, several, complaints about the iTMS. First you have "protected" files that are not convertible to other formats (not directly anyway; you can burn to Audio CD then reimport), are not portable to other music players (again, not directly, work arounds exist), and to top it all off, they are advertised as "CD quality" but really you are buying a rather low bit rate for about the same as if you just went out and bought the physical CD instead. Of course, with CDs you can not buy just the tracks you want.
    Hey maybe that is what Apple should do. Sell individual songs at 128kbps/MP4 but if you buy the full album you instead get 192+kbps/MP4s. Then you encourage the real audiophiles to buy albums, not singles. And artists can not complain that the iTMS method only sells their main hits and allowing users to not discover the other songs on their albums.
