  • Can't find photos from 2010 in iphoto?

    Recently I had to find Christmas photos for 2010 as well as my photos from my overseas trip also 2010. I know that i put them into iphoto from my iphone. They aren't on my iphone anymore as that crashed but I did do a backup of the iphone in itunes before that happened. Do photos of a different year get put somewhere else??? I am very new to a Mac. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers

    No, photos from a different year don't get put somewhere else.
    Try use a Smart Album ro find them:
    File -> New Smart Album
    Date is in the Range -> 1/1/2010 to 31/12/2010

  • Can't find photo error?

    When i try to drag a photo or edit it. They all say "Can't find photo "xxxxxjpg" original cannot be found.
    my options are to cancel or look for it. neither works.
    any suggestions.

    Jerry:
    Is this the warning you're getting? If so then it means that you using iPhoto in the alias mode, i.e. not copying the photos into the library folder upon import?
    Check iPhoto's advanced preference section and see if it looks like this. If not, then the library just creates alias files pointing to the original's location at the time of import. If that location was the camera and you've subsequently erased the camera you've lost your photos.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Can't open photos in edit mode

    I can;t open photos in edit mode in iPhoto '08. When I double click on a photo the main window remains blank (no "!" no"?"). This problem occurs with every photo in the library. My permissions are OK. I've also tried setting the preferences to edit in Photoshop but double clicking on the photos then still accomplishes nothing.

    Steve:
    Do you get a blank white window in the edit mode? If so that may mean you do not have access to the files. Try the following:download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name, long or short, in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
    FYI:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop 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..
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds

  • Why can't I use photo's edited in iPhoto in iWeb?

    Why can't I insert photo's edited in iPhoto into my website design? It will only allow me to insert pictures that have not been edited. Is there away around this? Or a reason for it?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You should be able to add edited photos from iPhoto to an iWeb page. How are you adding them and to what type of page?

  • How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?

    Hi !
    I'm using LR 5.7.1 on a Mac.
    When I've retouched raw pictures with PS CC (and do not need the PSD file any longer) I export the PSD (that is in my catalog) as JPG and let it add to my catalog automatically. After that I delete the PSD file. That works fine.
    But .... the new JPG file is not assigned to any collection. That's no problem unless I forget to do it manually after that export (and import).
    That brings me to my question.
    How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?
    I tried it with a smart collection after I found nothing suitable in library filter. The search criteria I tried are Source -> Collection with any of the conditions. One with an empty value field, then with just a space and so on.
    Has anybody a good hint for me?
    Thomas

    You can also add numbers if you have collections that don't use alphabet characters.

  • How can I synchronize my iPhoto events? my iTunes doesn't read them and with the app Images in the iPad I can only find Photos, Albums, Faces and Places, not Events.

    How can I synchronize my iPhoto events? my iTunes doesn't read them and with the app Images in the iPad I can only find Photos, Albums, Faces and Places, not Events.

    I had a problem a couple of months ago when iPhotos suddenly rearranged the order of my Events (Why won't iPhoto let me arrange my photos?) .  I was told "Use albums not events - events are not a good way to organize - albums and folder are designed for organisation and are very flexible".
    Haha!  I should have paid attention and read between the lines!  My iPhotos were highly organised groupings - not according to date but the way I wanted them - and it was so easy to do!  I see now that if I had them all in albums, as per the Apple Apologist suggestion, I wouldn't have this unholy mess I have been left with just to make iPhone & iCloud users happy.  I am now going through Photos and making Albums (of what used to be in my Events)  ... maybe I'll get this finished before they do another non user friendly update!

  • ITunes can't find photos to share on apple tv

    iTunes can't find photos to share on Apple TV when photos were moved from iPhoto to the new Photos

    Thanks for the suggestion Limnos but you're right that's not the answer...
    iTunes Match allows 25,000 songs so I don't think apple see 20,000 as outside the design parameters.
    Anyway I'll wait in hope that someone can offer a solution to the path that Finder uses for each different connection as that's where the answer lies, that or a way to change the path of the server in iTuens, but all the forums I have looked at suggest you can't do that?

  • IPhoto can't find photo even though the thumbnail is present. Any help, there are dozens of photos in my library that won't open as iPhoto can't find them.

    iPhoto can't find photo even though the thumbnail is present. Any help, there are dozens of photos in my library that won't open as iPhoto can't find them. This is probably a very common question!

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We need to know the details of your problem and situation, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what do you see when you launch iPhoto to open your library?
    what fixes have you tried before coming here?
    where is you library located?
    how long has this been occuring?
    did you apple any updates or upgrades just prior?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?
    What do you see when you click on a thumbnail?

  • Can't find photo message

    I saved my photos to iPhoto & iPhoto Library. I made some albums, arranged them.
    I clicked the pictures on the Photos & in the albums, then i see "Can't find photo".
    Even though, i tried to see them in Photos besides the new albums.
    I still can't find the original photos.
    I imported all my photos to my iMac 21" decktop.
    I had no problems before with this.
    I tried to share my photos through email & facebook, to few people.
    Only couple of them recieved them. I don't want to have this problem no more.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thx,
    Susy.

    What version of iPhoto? Of the OS?
    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
    Do you have a back up?

  • Can't find photo's when trying to sync ipad to itunes

    can't find photo's when sycing ipad to itunes

    I also am having problems.  I have the newest ipad (4 and mini both) and also all software is up to date.  My itunes is 11.0.5 which is the most up to date version.  First off my ipad has over 7 GB of photos on it which is taking up too much space.  I want to delete my Photo Library which is apparently all photos off my laptop that got synced to my ipad.  The ipad itself will not allow a delete option in this Photo Library.  Additionally the new version of itunes does NOT have a Photo tab or option to click or otherwise which photos to sync.  It's as if photos through itunes was removed in their new software version.  Anyway...... I can not delete or remove from my ipads the photos that came from my main computer.... the only photos able to be deleted are those that I actually took from my ipad.  This is also true for my husbands iPhone 5....   Please help   Thank you

    Larry,
    I have a Mac Book Pro  2.53 GHz  Mid 2009
    Using OS X lion 10.75
    I don't know what version of iphoto....just what was originally installed but I use an external storage drive for my photos and use time machine for back up.
    I loaded the photos Friday night- thought they went into an event, deleted photos from my camera (dumb, I know) then in the morning a grey box with event date shows palm tree and sunset image but no photos.

    thanks

    Where did you put them?
    These are not part of the sync process at all, as the manual tells you.  You should be importing them to your comptuer regularly as you would with any digital camera.

  • How can i find Photoshop to edit my own image?

    How can I find Photoshop to edit my own image? I have seen a lot of learning videos,

    I'm not sure I understand the question. Have you purchased and installed Photoshop, but don't know how to start it on your computer? Let us know what version of Photoshop you have and if you are usinga Mac or a Windows machine.
    If you don't already have Photoshop, you can find it on the Adobe web site at http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop.html
