HT2498 import photo to iphoto but cant find it there

i did import my pictures from my camera to iphoto and already import all to my iphoto and delete all pictures in my camera. But somehow, i cant find any pictures in my iphoto. and requested what library to open.. anybody can give me an information bout that? thx

Here what I did..
I was empty my iphoto library before i import this new photos.
So i dont find any photo at all. not in 'last import' or event 'last 12 months' or 'event'
my iphoto version is iphoto '11 version 9.2.3 (629.52) --> is that the right no? because thats what shown on the screen.
"requested what library to open" mean because i have no any pic in my library as i mention i empty my library.
So when i want to open the library it will requested that as there is no picture in it

How can i save my importing photos in iPhoto but edit in photoshop elements 11?

how can i save my importing photos in iPhoto but edit in photoshop elements 11?

You have two options:
1. Set PSE as your external editor for iphoto and send the photos from iphoto. Save (not Save As) without changing the name or format and iPhoto will remember the original + the last edited version. (To get back to the original you will have to lose the edits, though.)
2. Export the photos from iphoto, work on the copies, make all the changes you want to name and format and then reimport the edited versions to iphoto as new files. This lets you save as many different versions as you like.

Photos in iPhoto but not Finder???

I've spent hours looking for photos in Finder to no avail... What the ****?

There are some of my photos in the pictures folder, the path being "my name" > pictures > date > image...
but on 1/31/10 the path changed to "my name" > pictures > iphoto library > originals > year > date > image...
That would be if you imported them into iPhoto - t copies the imported photos to the originals folder in the iphoto library - it does not delete (or otherwise change) the source photo - it just copies it
I can only see all of them by searching .jpg in Finder...
You do not see them in the iPhoto window when you are using iPhoto?
I'm trying to evaluate Lightroom & Aperture and can't even get them moved over since the ones I want to experiment with are recent photos...
Aperture can import directly from the iPhoto library - for Lightroom select the photos in iPhoto and export them then import them into Lightroom

After importing photos to iphoto I cannot find them when I want to insert them into documents or facebook.

When I import photos from my camera memory stick to iphoto and want to insert them afterwarts into Facebook or into documents or emails they do not appear in the 'choose picture' list.
Example: in a document I click 'insert', then 'photo', 'picture from file'. It is here that I do not find the photos I just uploaded.
However - and this is a mystery to me - there are some photos that I uploaded at another day and that are actually in the 'choose a picture' file.
Does anyone have an idea what is going on or what I have to do differently?
many thanks!

I am trying to synch my recently added music to my ipod via imported cd via library, but cant find tick box for this anymore. please help

I am trying to synch my recently added music via importing cd in library, the cd is in my itunes, but will not synch. When i had this problem before, a tick was not in the 'synch recently added music' box, but i cant find this now, my model number is MB528BT. Please help

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

somehow lost access to my iTunes library.
What does iTunes have to do with this? Also more specific information might be helpful.
What system and iPhoto versions are you running?
Where are you being asked to select a library? What kind of library, iPhoto or iTunes?
What do you see when you first launch iPhoto?

IPhoto has dissappeared off my laptop. Says it is installed, but cant find it. All photos gone

iPhoto has dissappeared off my laptop. Says it is installed, but cant find it. All photos gone

Do a Spotlight for "iPhoto.app" and see what yo get. If that fails download and run Find Any File to search for a file with "iPhoto.app" in the file name.
FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages. If the application is hiding somewhere on your hard drive FAF will find it.

I was backing up my iPhone and importing photos onto iPhoto at the same time , then suddenly it says no more space available (i had 48GB before i do this and now i have 18GB) i can't find the back up or the photo anywhere , how can i delete them ?

Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown asBackups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Reboot and it should go away.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size with the largest at the top. It may take a few minutes for ODS to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

When trying to import photos with iPhoto from photoshop... won't let me keeps saying that the photos are already in the iPhoto library but they are not

If you are using Photoshop from within iPhoto the following may help with the workflow. However, we do need to know the answers to the questions posed by Terence and Larry to be able to help you.
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Screenshots are from PSE 10
Note 1: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
Note 2: editing a RAW file with either PSE or PS creates a new file which must be saved outside of iPhoto, i.e. the Desktop, and imported as a new photo into the iPhoto Library.

How do you get the screensaver that takes your iPhoto pictures and make one big picture? Used to have it on 10.6.8 but cant find it

Used to have it on 10.6.8 but cant find it. It took all the pics from iPhoto I think then made a pic out of them as a screen. Help?

Ah, welcome to my world...the world of progressive vs interlaced, RGB vs YUV, compression/decompression,10 bit or 8 bit, 4:4:4 vs 4:0:1 vs 4:1:2, color space (etc, etc, etc..!)
There's HD, DV, HDV, NTSC, PAL and more - its a place where acronyms roam free and multiply daily.
You're in for a fascinating journey that will soon have you understanding things you never dreamt you'd need to know, then when you think you've got to grips with 'em, you'll discover you don't really know the first thing about them...!
Fortunately you've got Bogie, Patrick, Shane, David and more to take you along for the ride.
I will suggest (and probably be corrected) that what you're seeing is probably interlaced footage on your progressive monitor. (You mentioned you're watching the DVD on your computer.) Your TV has far fewer lines of resolution than your computer monitor, so FCP works within those constrictions. Also your TV runs at 29.97 frames a second, which is actually 60 frames a second as each frame is divided into two fields, which comb together to for one frame. These combs are very much evident when watching a DVD on a computer. Even high budget Hollywood films have this problem, especially when the camera or subject is moving. There is no way around this if you're outputting on DVD or NTSC.
You could create an Progressive file, which won't do this on your monitor, but thats a whole other ball of wax...
Welcome though. Its all good. (And the people on this site are very helpful, I've learnt a lot over the last 5 years by simply reading these posts.)

I do have all my backups but cant find my photos???

HAve all my backups but cant find my photos!!

The backup does include camera roll photos (unless you excluded them in your backup settings) but you have to restore the entire backup to your device in order to recover them.

Alternative way to import photos to iPhoto?

hello,
is there a way to import photos into iPhoto without opening iPhoto? i tried dragging a photo to my iPhoto folder, but afterwards that photo didn't appear in iPhoto.
Overall, it takes a long time to open the iPhoto app. and i wanted to know of a another way i can organize my photos w/o using the iPhoto app. i'm begining to think that the Windows way of keeping photos is more convenient.

Jason,
The one thing you can't do is put things in the iPhoto library folder from the Finder. It is very important that you read this
Don't Tamper with the iPhoto Library Folder
As you have already experienced, iPhoto won't know that you put it there.
I think that you can drag a photo to the icon on the dock, but that in turn will open iPhoto.
Mail app will let you save attached images directly into iPhoto if that is where your images are coming from.
I know you want to do it without opening iPhoto, but there really is no other way. You can drag it to the open iPhoto window. Or you can use the "Add to library" menu command as long as the photo originates from anywhere
b but
the iPhoto library folder.
You have to understand that iPhoto is a data based system. Everything has to be done through the iPhoto app and it takes care of all the filing. Its different from the windoze way, but once you let go of the old way you will find this more convenient and easier than managing a file tree.
How long does it take to open iPhoto?

Successfully Imported photos to iPhoto are gone!

Dear Apple,
Today I imported photos to iPhoto. It said "import successful". Followed by: "Do you want to delete your photos?" I choose "Yes." like I usually do. I never before had an issue with this, that is until today! Shortly after choosing "Yes" the spinning rainbow wheel of death started. I was unable to do anything with iPhoto. The mouse was not functional with the iPhoto program. After waiting more than 15+ mins I decieded to give up & in the end I had to "Force Quit" iPhoto. After reopening iPhoto, none of the photos I loaded are visible. I keep everything orginized by date. Despite that iPhoto claimed it uploaded the photos successfully & none of them can be found anywhere on my computer comes the worst of it... iPhoto did in fact delete all of the photos on my SD card! So I have no way of trying to reupload them & they are not in my iPhoto. Not sure what happened but if there is someway to find them that would be great. I used the "search" feature... nothing. I manually looked in my iPhoto files... nothing. Yet it said they were successfully uploaded. What do I do? Is there a way to find or retrieve my photos? It was over 200 some photos I took today. After this icident I think next time I will choose "Save" photos on SD, wait & make sure the photos have been transfered, then go back & delete them. Never again. With this in mind I do have one other question. Why on earth does iPhoto downsize my original photo files? I always have kept my photos with a certain resolution. iPhoto everytime downsizes them! Is there a way to keep this from happening? I do save my files in RAW format, however I do not have iPhoto, nor a program to open them with at this time. Is there a way to keep my jpegs the same resolution. Why would this be happening? Thanks.

1. You're not talking to Apple here. This forum is users talking to other users.
2. You can recover the photos from your SD card with apps like MediaRecover or Picture Rescue
3. Never let your computer erase data without you first checking that the data is safe. Specifically never use iPhoto (or any other app) to delete the photos from your Camera Card. Disconnect the camera, check the transfer has gone correctly and then use your Camera to Reformat the Card. This has three advantages:
a. You know your data is safe - because you've taken the time to check it.
b. Reformatting the card is much, much faster - takes a couple of seconds
c. Reformatting also refreshes the Directory Structure on the Card, helping prevent issues with the card and prolonging its life.
4. iPhoto doesn't downsize or change your original files in any way. I'm guessing that you're confusing the Master and thge Preview if you're shooting RAW. But to be sure: What exactly are you shooting?
5. 'Resolution' is a very vague term. Some folks use it to refer to pixel density, some to refer to file size and others to refer to image quality. What do you mean by it?
