HT2488 I imported pictures into iPhoto from my iPhone, when trying to find my pictures by clicking on iPhoto Library it is always empty. I had to create a new folder and copy the same exact pics in the new folder just to be able to access them.. help plea

I imported photos into iPhoto from my iPhone, however i cannot access them. When clicking on iPhoto Library where they should be stored the folder is blank but if i open up iphoto from the dock menu they appear. I had to create a new folder just to access them. help please, because making a new folder takes up unnecessary space.

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.

  • When I sync my photos to iPhoto from my iPhone 4S it like saves about 200 on my phone. I really don't like that because they're like really old and stay the same... Can you take that setting off? Or just make it you most recent pictures instead?

    it had to do with Maverick/Aperture not supporting the same date formats as before in Smart Albums when I upgraded.
    Smart albums based on dates have always been problematic, if you use smart settings that require a date string to be entered. How the date string will be interpreted, will depend on your settings in the System Preferences > Language&Text > Advanced > Dates formats and the "Region".
    It is much safer to use "Calendar" rules in Aperture instead of "Date" rules with date-strings. Calendar rules will remain valid, if the region settings are changed in the System preferences.

  • The iPad 2 has the same exact hardware as the iPhone 4S. So why doesn't it get Siri with the new update?

    Well i'm just generally curious and a bit upset that ipad 2 will not be getting Siri after updating to iOS 6. I though it was because the new ipad was faster and ipad wasn't capable enough but later i found out that iPhone 4S will get the new Siri when it has the same chip A5 plus the ipad 2 's cpu is 1GHz whil the iphone 4S 's is 800MHz. I'm honestly not complaining. Apple never said at the time i bought my ipad 2 that it would get Siri, but i am curious...someone please answer.

    Actually, it is not the same hardware. The A5 chips are different. The iPad 2's doesn't include a noise canceling function that the newer iPhones and the New iPad do.

  • All contacts disappeared from my iphone when trying to use icloud. What happened?

    In order to set up Groups, I was advised to install CopyTrans (free version).
    I have also set up and use ICoud.com through my PC to make Groups and arrange contacts.
    But now I have NO contacts in my iPhone.  When I close the Contacts App and reopen it, some appear. But when I touch 'Groups' they all disappear again.
    How do I access all 700 contacts stored on iCould?
    When I Synch with my PC (which uses Outlook) all those 500 contacts are added AGAIN and AGAIN forcing me to delete duplicates constantly.
    And then when I turn on the iPhone and touch Groups - they disappear again.
    I switched from BlackBerry - was this a mistake?

    Suggest you consider using an app to back up your contacts.  This will allow you to easily restore them if this happens again.  One I can recommend is My Contacts Backup Pro, although I'm sure there are others that work as well.  The app will back up your contacts as a vCard attachment to an email.  Send the email to yourself and save either the email or the attachment.  If you ever need to restore your contacts you can just tap the attachment to import them back to your phone.
    Then, as mentioned in the other post, try saving your photo stream photos to your camera roll, delete the iCloud account, provide your password and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in.  Hopefully it won't happen again after that.

  • Can a replacement LCD have the same exact defect?

    I brought my 24" iMac in because there was a pixel anomaly/stuck red pixel in the center of the screen. As I'm a graphic artist, it was very annoying.
    I brought it to the Apple Store where the Genius agreed to have the display replaced.
    I went to get it today. When it was booted up in the store I noticed the same defect in the same exact place.
    How is this possible?
    They are replacing it again. The Genius made made mention of the "1 bad pixel is OK". I was hearing none of it. They agreed to fix it the 1st time. All I want is the issue to be addressed and fixed.
    He also made some ridiculous remark that it's possible for a new display to have the same exact defect in the same exact place. I can't believe that there are two displays with a stuck pixel in the exact same spot. And, I got both of them. What are the odds?

    The odds are unknown, as the same manufacturer could have the same defect in the inverter board of their LCDs. I would next pursue the replacement of the inverter board. If the inverter board is not replaced, any defects in the first inverter board, would be apparent in the second. A bad inverter board can lead to a solid line from the top to the bottom of the screen. A single bad pixel could just be that same problem but much smaller in area.

  • How to copy picture into email from iPhoto 9.6 (910.29) after OS X Yosemite download

    Hi. 
    Since updating to Yosemite on MacBook Air when I try to copy and paste a photo from iPhoto to an email instead of the photo coming up in the email, which it has always done, I get something like this pasted in the email ...file:111Users/Pictures?iPhoto%20Library/Previews/2014/09/11/20140911144300/u kEgw etc etc etc ... ending in .jpg. 
    How please do I now send a picture in an aol email, or what do I untick or tick, to change the above figures and numbers to the actual photo, so when I copy and paste a photo from iPhoto, the picture comes up in an aol email and not gobbledegook (sorry computer bods!!!) figures and numbers!!
    Very many thanks.
    Bobby

    Well, I will tackle the picture problem and see what I can learn.  I am in Los Gatos, California (Silicon Valley) and there is an Apple store 2 miles away so I will go in ask them about this. It will take me a couple of days  to get that done likely.  Frankly, I have the same general problem about pasting stuff into that screen where you are writing emails.  Something amiss here.
    I am unfamiliar with the problem you have with BlueTooth interfering with WiFi and think that is likely specific to you, or more likely something completely different that LOOKS like a Bluetooth related problem.  I am normally and right this minute running a BlueTooth keyboard and mouse and the computer is a MacBook Pro connected via WiFi through an Apple Extreme router to the internet and to my printer.  I have had no issues that I know of between BlueTooth and WiFi.  The same is true for the iPad and a bluetooth keyboard which communicates by WiFi with this home network and my iPhone and Bluetooth headset that I use adjacent to the computer.  All this worked "right out of the box" so to speak
    Thanks for your reply

  • I am getting the following error message when I try to import photos into iPhoto from my camera: "/private/var/folders/GB/GBl4wh8-ELqUVMI5dO-ryU   TI/-Tmp-/iPhoto/DSCF2033.JPG".  Have already tried removing and reinstalling iPhoto to no avail.

    Does this happen if you try to Import to Library within iPhoto, or is it when you connect your camera (and which is set to automatically use iPhoto) that this error message occurs?
    If you open Image Capture > Preferences is iPhoto selected as the choice when a camera is connected?

  • I would like to free up some space on my computer and move my iphoto library to the time capsule and easily access it. Also, would I be able to access them via the TC if I purchased a new computer?

    I am using my TC as an external hard drive, I would like to remove my photos from my computer to free up space. I'm wondering:
    1. Once the photos are moved, how do I access them via the TC, AND will i still be able to print them and see them the way they were set up in my iphoto on the computer?
    2. If I purchase a new computer, will I still be able to access them just as easily?
    3. What is the process to move the photos to the TC?
    I am afraid that if I "erase" them from my computer I will not be able to access them.

    Are you still using iphoto?
    If so you should NOT move the iphoto library to the TC and use it.
    Apple says you will corrupt the library doing this.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5168
    Although mostly about FAT32  it adds network drives.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198
    Now what I cannot tell you is if the same rules apply to the new photo app. Apple might have fixed the problem.
    For iphoto you should offload the photos to USB drive plugged into your computer.. or any external drive.. the faster the interface the better.
    Apple have explicit instructions for moving the library.

    I've just discovered that different typefaces seem to have different auto-leading in Pages. I am used to default leading being 120% of point size (or some consistent rule), but it seems this is not so any more. The same text in 10pt Times New Roman, which I would expect to line up with 10pt Palatino, for example, doesn't. I've tried using the inspector, at least to get both faces to behave the same for given settings, but I haven't been able to. How much control does Pages allow for this type of settings, and are there any hidden secrets as to how to do so? Many thanks
    Message was edited by: Just me then

    If you set the line spacing in the inspector to Exactly and 12 points for 10 point type, it will work the way you want.

    This sounds different than with my IOS devices, since I am able to see the photos even with a connection to the Internet.
    Do you mean without a connection to the internet? With a connection it's logical you would be able to see the PS.
    The following is from iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    Can photos be saved or downloaded from a shared photo stream?
    Yes. Once photos are shared, anyone who can view the shared photo stream can download and keep the photos permanently.
    On a device using iOS 6 or later, you can save photos to the Camera Roll. On a Mac, using iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4, you can save photos from the shared stream to your local Photo Library or any other location on your Mac. On a Windows PC, you can copy photos from a shared photo stream to any folder. On the web, photos can be downloaded directly to your computer from the detail view of each photo.
    This tells me that the image files are not on the HD unless the subscriber chooses to download them.

  • Are all New  iPad facing the same overheat issue? My new iPad also feels warm at the back.

    Are all New iPad facing the same overheat issue?
    My new iPad (wifi 64G) also feels warm at the back.

    It varies. The difference between 'warm' and 'hot'. As in warmer but I can touch it vs too hot to comfortably handle.
    ANd it doesn't seem to be all new iPads. There does seem to be increased heat because of the different battery and the retina display as explained above. There also seems to be some of them - maybe a few from a singular batch/factory that seem to put out what has been termed excessive heat. I would think if it were a universal issue then there'd be something more aggressive being done.
    You can always take it into your local apple store and have them look at it and document that you have a concern, but they may say it's just normal heat associated with the prettier display and new battery configuration.
