With the advent of v7 the iPhoto library is now a Unix Package File: to see inside simply right click on it and choose 'Show File Contents'.
There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. 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.
3. Show File: 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.
To upload to MySpace or any site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.

  • HT6378 What happened to my photo stream photos?

    Only my photos from the camera roll saved to 'all photos.' I lost over 700 photos that were in my photo stream. What happened to them?

    Hello 75river,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you are not seeing the option for My Photo Stream on your iPad, then I'd like you to please ensure your iCloud settings are configured correctly.  Go to Settings > iCloud and tap on Photos.  There is the option to enable or disable Photo Stream.  Another reason why the My Photo Stream album could be missing is that you have enabled the iCloud Photo Library.

  • What happens to iCloud photo library photos if I get rid of my device?

    I am a user of icloud Photo Library Beta. Recently I've upgraded my iPhone 5 to an iPhone 6. My photos from my iPhone 5 are all stored in iCloud photo library , and inherently accessible on my iPhone 6.
    I am considering selling my iPhone 5 to a friend. I need to know if I restore the device to factory default before selling it... deleting all of the photos stored on the device. Will I also see those photos removed from iCloud photo library? And inherently my iPhone 6? Or will these photos taken from my iPhone 5 remain in the cloud, and remain accessible for full quality download on my iPhone 6?
    Or will I be forced to manually download or import all the photos from my iPhone 5 before selling the device?

    You do not need help.  That is exactly what it should do.
    Just as a book is on the Public Library and also in the fiction section, a pic is in your individual albums and the same photos can be accessed from the Photo Library.
    You will always have the Photo Library.  You can access ALL of your synced pics from this folder/album.  Those exact same photos can also be accessed from the folders/albums that you sync to iphone.  This is how the iphone handles photos.  There are not two copies of the photos.

  • What happen to the Photo library when I choose Reset all Settings on my Ipad?

    I just wanna know what will happen to all of my photos if I choose Reset all Settings on the Ipad 2

    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
    Reset All Settings does not delete anything, all it does is take most of the iPad's settings back to default (with the exception of accounts setting, and maybe a couple other things.) It is perfectly safe.
    The only inconvenience is that you have to go back through almost all your settings and set them to your preference.

    iPhoto will not open with pictures when I click on the icon.  It does show that it is open on top toolbar. What happened to my photos?

    Did you run any updaters recently, i.e. like just before this happened?  Try this first fix: make a duplicate copy of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete  the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file,, Cache.dbt, that is located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences..

  • HT1206 what happened to my iTunes library, it disappeared except for the purchased songs?

    What happened to my itunes library it disappeared except  for the purchased songs?

    By being gone do you mean the library is not in your Pictures folder or when you open the library you don't see any photos or thumbnails?  If it's the latter apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • What happened to my photos after upgrading to IOS 8

    What happened to my photos after upgrading to IOS 8.0.2? How do I recover them?j

    Hi arnpa,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you've updated your iOS device to iOS 8, the photos should still be on the device. The photos will be organized differently than they were previously, though.
    In iOS 8, the Photos app organizes photos by date instead of by device or photo source. Here are some questions you might have about Photos after updating to iOS 8.
    Where can I find the Camera Roll?
    The Photos app in iOS 8 doesn't separate photos and videos based on how they were added to your device. Instead of a Camera Roll, your photos and videos (even ones that you didn't take with or save to your device) are organized by date in Photos.
    When you open the Photos app and tap the Photos tab, you'll see your photos and videos listed by Moments, Collections, and Years. Tap Moments to see individual photos organized by date and location, tap Collections to zoom out to a more condensed view, and then tap Years to zoom out even more. Tap a collection or year to zoom back in.
    And you'll now have a Recently Added album, which shows the photos and videos added to your device in the last 30 days, organized by date. To see your Recently Added album, tap Albums > Recently Added.
    Where can I find the My Photo Stream album?
    In iOS 8, there's no longer a separate My Photo Stream album. Instead, photos that were in the My Photo Stream album are now in the Recently Added album.
    If you were using iPhoto for iOS, make sure that you migrated your photos.

    If the photos are no longer on your device, and you backed up to iCloud or iTunes, you may need to restore from a backup:

  • What happens to my photos if i delete my icloud backup?

    Nothing.  Deleting the backup only deletes the backup.  It doesn't delete anything else from iCloud or from your devices/computers.

  • Two part question 1) what happens if you  sign into messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 after it expired? does the whole application not work or just imessage? 2) does installing messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5  delete ichat?

    Two part question
    1) what happens if you  sign into messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 after it expired? does the whole application not work or just imessage? can you stil use AIM, jabbar, google talk, or yahoo?  if you open messages beta does it immediately tell you that messages beta expired?
    2) does installing messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5  delete ichat or just transform ichat into messages beta giving the illusion that ichat is deleted?

    Hi,
    It was never completely clear whether it was just hidden or whether Apple ran a download page for iChat 6.
    As the Download for Messages Beta was separate and "Deleted" iChat it would seem it would be another download for iChat 6.
    iMessages will not function as it is only an Account type within Messages and iChat 6 does not have it.
    Therefore messages on the iPhone will not sync to the Mac. (until you get Mountain Lion and Messages in that OS X version).
    Mountain Lion and it's full version of Messages will not sync the iMessages that have happened in between the 14th December 2012  (end date of Messages beta) and the Install of Mountain Lion if you decide on that route.

  • HT6378 what happens to photo library photos when iphone is full

    So, I want to add photos to my icloud library from another device. 159GB worth to be exact. If I use airdrop my ipad will fill up adn if I delete the photos from it it will delete them from the photo library, correct? So how do I do it. I know I can upload photos through clooud.beta but ti doesn't retain the image data (location,date)?

    If I merge libraries and then back the merged libraries up onto an external drive or DVD, do I just back up the libraries themselves, or do I also back up the original files?
    If you're running a Managed Library, then backing up the Library also backs up the original files.
    I ask because my HDD is getting pretty full. I want to reduce the amount of stuff on it, and the iPhoto libraries are the biggest single consumer of space at the moment (Nearly 100GB).
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    Regards
    TD
    P.s. If you're running a Managed library, then it's the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing
    If you're running a Referenced Library, then you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced and iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing.

  • HT6378 I cant find my photo library after loading it to iCloud.

    I tried to upload my library of about 2300 photos to iCloud. It only loaded about 4 photos but now I cant find the rest of my photos. What happened to them?

    i already tried uninstalling it then when im downloading it said it is already installed but still it has no icon and i cant see it either on the application management.
    tried also wiping the data and downloading again but on the appworld it says "an error has occured communicating with the Blackberry App world web plug in. Please restart your device and try again. If you have content protection enabled on your device, please diable and try again" I already did it but it was always the error.

  • HT5624 What happened to all my library? I don't have an Iphone only an Ipod. But only my recent purchases show up on my computer. How do I get them back?

    What happened to my entire 3000+ songs in my library I used to see when I opened iTunes? I only see the most recently purchased. How do I get them back? I don't have an I phone to play they on, only a droid.

    Hi Sarah,
    It sounds like the songs have either not yet synced over to the iPhone, or something went wrong when attempting to sync to the iPhone. My recommendation is to uncheck the "Sync Music" checkbox.
    Once you have done that, recheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes once more. This will instruct iTunes to completely remove all music from your iPhone, and then copy the files once more. If you have a large amount of music, this initial sync may take a while.
    If the above does not resolve your issue, see the following articles:
