Ignorant question: Where have my photos gone?

Apologies if you think this has been covered previously but similar queries haven't answered my ignorant but basic question. I can't find where my photos are saved to in iPhoto 08 - in 06, the file structure is 1) visible to me and 2) arranged chronologically. Please put me out of my misery and tell me where I can find the files!
Cheers,
Bobber

With iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Unix Style Package File. 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.
Want to visit with them? Find the Library icon in the Pictures Folder and right click on it. From the resulting menu select ‘Show Package Contents’. A Finder Window will open with the Library Exposed. It will look familiar.
Standard Warning: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 Only*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a 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. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
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*:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
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.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
All of the above are a: Faster and b: Safer that rooting through the folders of the iPhoto Library.

Where have my photos gone?

I recently had a problem with Aperture resulting in me having to uninstall/reinstall it. All projects in the last 18 months and photos have been deleted! Previously, it was not syncing with Iphoto, so the photos weren't there. Now it has synced but is not showing these photos. These events are still on my Ipad, which I am now reluctant to sync with my Imac, as I am converned that they will disappear also. Any ideas how I can sort this mess out?

You do not mention, what kind of trouble shooting measures you already have done after reinstalling Aperture?
Just to be sure, have you checked the filters in Browser and Library inspector, if you are really showing all library items? The filters should be displaying "All items" or "Showing All". And did Aperture open your current library, and not create a new, empty one?
And have you repaired and rebuild the library after reinstalling Aperture? If not, try the First Aid Tools, see:
Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual
Previously, it was not syncing with Iphoto, so the photos weren't there. Now it has synced but is not showing these photos.
What do you mean? iPhoto on iPad or iPhoto in iLife on Mac? Have you migrated your Library from iPhoto? And how are you syncing? With iTunes or Wi-Fi? Please explain in more detail.

Where have the photos gone?

Following a recent upgrade my photos seem to have vanished - not a unique occurance it appears!
I have read suggestions that I could reestablish links via iTunes. However, my itunes softwear homepage appears to also have lost the photo section (music, TV, books, podcasts, Apps etc are all avalilble but Photos are simply missing from the page). Any ideas about how I find the "photos" on the itune home page?
thanks

AGA-
I would like to help clarify what is happening with Revel. Revel does not take files from your Mac or PC. The only files that moved are ones from Photoshop.com to Revel. Cloud - to - cloud. The only way they could disappear from your computer that I can think of is if you deleted them or you had Elements syncing to your Photoshop.com account and you deleted them from Photoshop.com before syncing.
Emails were sent out to users explaining that Photoshop.com was about to be discontinued, and informing users that their files would be migrated to Revel unless they opted out. This was done as a courtesy so that users could have a means of saving all their photos (jpg) on the cloud for viewing and sharing without having to go to the effort of archiving and re-uploading. Additional emails went out closer to the time. The opt out period has ended and we are in the transition period actively migrating photos to Revel.
If you had photos on Photoshop.com and their migration is complete (you would receive an email), then go to adoberevel.com on a a browser and login the same way you did in photoshop.com...with an adobe id(email) and password. Your files will either be in a library called photoshop.com library or in one called <your first name>'s library.
If you need more assistance, please let me know.

Where have my photo gone?

I set up 4 albums with photos I want to use as my landscape portfolio. Figured out how to arrange them by copy/paste and now most of the photos have disappeared and I have empty albums that I can't seem to delete. I uploaded them from my desktop (iMac) and the camera roll which origionally had 95 photos now only has 3 photos. What have I done wrong?

Every time I try to add new photos, the ones already added disappear. Is there a way to save the photos so the new sync doesn't wipe them out?

HT4796 where have my photos gone?

the folders have migrated across bu there are no photos within the folders?

Your default photo library should be in ~/Pictures (enter this location via Finder Go > Go to Folder command). It shouldn't move on its own or by an OSX update. If it's not there you'll need to search for "iPhoto Library". Another option would be any backups you have done.

Help - where have my photos gone ?

Loaded Iphoto 11 and now I can't view some of my photos..
They show in the preview but when I click onto them I just get a black screen with a silver exclaimation mark on it - whats going on ?
thanks

The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
iOption 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Where have the charts gone in iTunes 11?

In genereal I like iTunes 11 but I can't find any top 10 charts for music, movies, TV shows apps or books! Where have the charts gone?

Thanks Poikkeus but I still can't find it! I assume you're referring to the music pulldown menu? There's no Charts selection in there. Maybe it's different for iTunes Australia?

Where are the photos gone? Help!

Hi, maybe this is a known topic, but stilll...
I have iPhoto 7.1.1
I wanted to have some photos in a separate iPhoto library
I duplicated the actual iPhoto Library
I opened the original iPhoto Library and deleted the some photos and web gallery albums
Then I opened the copy of the iPhoto Library. It isempty!
Then I opened a backup of the original iPhoto Library on an external volume. This was empty too!
The same gose for anothe iPhoto Library I used to order calendars, it is now empty.
How can I recover the original Photos?
Thanks,
Andre

Andre:
How did you duplicate your original library? Open the duplicate library package like this, look inside the Originals folder and see if your photos are there.
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 created 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

CRIO Poor Performance - Where have my MIPS gone?

I have a cRIO based system that is used to control a motor for a particular application. The application has been developed and enhanced over the years and is currently using about 50% of the CPU. The RT Controller is a cRIO-9012. I have recently been asked to add a 1 kHz (or more) loop function to the cRIO application. I can only achieve a maximum loop rate of about 200 Hz. When I told the customer this, he asked how fast my controller was, to which I replied 400 MHz. “Where is all the CPU power going?”, he asked. He's now thinking of replacing the cRIO Controller with an mbed with C code to get the performance he requires, which is a pity since I'd like to continue developing the application in LabVIEW.
Following on from his question, “where is all the CPU power going?”, I decided to write a simple application to test the cRIO 9012's performance. Below is the code I used to perform the evaluation:
With just the bottom loop running, which reports CPU load over the cRIO Controller's serial port, I have a CPU load of 7.0%. This is the baseline.
I then add the "execution" loops as shown above the bottom loop, one at a time and recoded the CPU load. Here are the results:
1 Loops - 18.3% load (11.3% extra)
2 Loops - 29.4% load
3 Loops - 45.5% load
4 Loops - will not run!
I have two problems/concerns.
Concern 1
The cRIO 9012 has a 400 MHz processor, which has 760 MIPS of processing power. The rate of the simple loop is 2 kHz and each loop takes about 11% of the CPU power. That is, each loop uses up 83.6 MIPS and each loop iteration uses up 41,800 instruction cycles. Where are the 41,800 instructions going? Even if there was a context switch after each loop iteration, this would account for 150 to 200 instruction cycles. Each loop is only doing an integer increment, timing check, compare and branch. These should only take up about 4 instruction cycles (8 if you want to be generous). If this was programmed in C, you could get bare metal performance that allows a single loop rate of something like 40 MHz or with an RTOS something like 2 MHz. Instead, my maximum loop rate is something like 20 kHz.
Where are the "wasted" 41,600 instructions per loop iteration going? This is only 0.5% efficient!
Concern 2
Why does adding the 4th "execution" loop cause the application to halt (or at least not send data over the serial port)?
I like programming on the desktop using LabVIEW and I like programming the FPGA using LabVIEW. The RT Controller is however becoming an embarrassment. Is it really the case that the best additional loop rate I can add to an existing application that already uses 50% of the cRIO Controller's CPU can only be 200 Hz maximum?

Thanks for all the feedback.
MajorTom,
Changing to timed loops instead of while loops makes the performance worse. For 2 Loops, rather than a CPU load figure of 29.4% (22.4% after removing base load) it shoots up to 78.4% (71.4% after removing base load). That is, it runs about 3 times slower, which takes the "efficiency" down from 0.5% to 0.15% efficient.
TimothyA,
I tried making the "execution" loops subVIs (with Preferred Execution System = other 1, with the top level = other 2) and that solved the four "execution" loops problem. Thanks, one of my concerns is now resolved (I'll mark it as such once the conversation quietens down).
The execution time is still large with the 2 loops taking 29.1% of the CPU, which is the same as before.
I tried using the "reduced" us wait next multiple CLN.vi, but it appears to be in LabVIEW 2014 and I'm using LabVIEW 2013. Any chance of resaving it as LabVIEW 2013?
crossrulz,
Thank you for pointing me to the table in the CompactRIO Developer's Guide. I assume you’re talking about Figure 3.5. Priorities and Execution Systems available in LabVIEW Real-Time. I didn't realise that Execution Systems are limited in the number threads (would be nice to get a warning when this happens). This will make interesting reading and experimentation.
All,
I’ve tried various loop limiting rates including Timed Loops and While Loops with RT Wait Until Next Multiple, RT Wait, Wait Until Next Multiple and Wait and the best perform is from the two RT waits. The worst performance was from the Timed Loops.
In summary, I’ve solved the problem regarding how to run more parallel loops, but I still get very poor performance with each loop interaction taking about 41,800 instructions when it “should” take more about 200 instruction cycles. All I want is to be able to run a loop at at least 1 kHz on my cRIO-9012 when I already have an application that takes up about 50% of the CPU. I have the threat of the code being moved to an mbed using C, which I’m trying to resist. Surely a 400 MHz controller can have a 1 kHz loop and not take up more than 10% of the CPU.

New Photos: Where have my Albums gone?

Dear Forum,
ive upgrade my iPhoto to Photos with my 40k photos but i dont see any Albums, just 40,000 photos in one big lump? am i missing something? i cant seem to see any definition on which photos are with which album?
i have them all in albums from each event ive photographed from 2002 until now????

Photos has no longer events - use the Moments, Years , Collections view. While viewing the "Photos" view, use the arrows to step between these view.
ive upgrade my iPhoto to Photos with my 40k photos but i dont see any Albums, just 40,000 photos in one big lump?
Have you revealed the sidebar? The "View menu > Shor sidebar" or the keys ⌥⌘S.
The Album section in the sidebar can be hidden. There is a hidden control to the right of the title "Albums"
Your events will appear as albums in the folder "iPhoto Events" in the Albums section.
But all smart albums, that used event names in the smart rule will be gone, since, there are no longer events in Photos. They have been replaced by Moments.

Where have open file gone?

Hello!
I've upgraded from SQL Developer version 1.1 to 1.5 yesterday.
I wonder where the 'open file' menu entry in the context menu of a sql worksheet has gone. Currently I have to choose a database connection separately after the file is loaded.
Second question: Scripts which call subscripts themselves like 'start anotherscript.sql' don't work anymore. Such a call ends up in an error message saying 'Unable to open file...' It seems to me that SQL Developer doesn't search for the subscript in the directory of the main script anymore. Do I have to use absolute paths now if I want to work with version 1.5???
Kind regards

This is a TERRIBLE design, I'm rolling back to 1.2. If I open a script that runs other scripts in the same directory, I cannont keep setting my preferences script directory over and over each time I go somewhere else on my hard drive.

Where have Site Profles gone

I have MX and I am stunned that all my defined sites have
gone from the right side panel.
Are they normally stored in a separate data file ? If so what
would it be and where would it be.
If not, what could be the cause of this?
Thanks

guessing windows OS?
dreamweaver stores the site definitions in the Registry file.
If the registry file is "flaky" or if the box is unplugged
before updates to
the Registry file are done, the site definiton info can be
wiped.
there's a third party tool for windows that will let you make
back up files
of the site defintions.
http://mm-exporter.joexx.de/
you can also use the Export button in the define sites dialog
box to create
.ste files
If only the site definitions where lost- no site files were
lost. no actual
site assets. Define the sites again, then back up the site
definitions, and
go on.
> Yes I know it would be my end and don't blame MX at all,

Where have System Preferences gone???

After re-installing the operating system, because it was no longer possible to log on to my iMac, suddenly there are no more system preferences. I select "System preferences" in the Apple menu and nothing happens.
Any ideas what to do or try to get access to system preferences back?
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.2.x)

Hi Michael!
Is System Preferences still in your Applications folder?
Does it appear in the Dock?
Computer > HD > Applications: HERE?
In Another Of Your Posts, your computer specs state that you are running iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.5).
This post states iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.2.x).
What type of install did you do, to go from 10.3 to 10.2?
Is there a Previous System Folder on your HD?
When you discovered your Memory Problem, which OS X were you using?
Have you tested the new RAM?
Sorry for all of the questions, but I'm trying to lay some groundwork, to assist readers who may be able to help you.
When posting a question, it is best to divulge as much background info as possible.
All of your problems, seem to me, to be somehow related.
Good Luck!

Recommended servers that will run Solaris 8 - Where have they all gone?

I've been struggling to install Solaris 8 HW02/02 on
some Dell Poweredge kit (2GHz CPUs) with no success
and even supermicro boxes. Does any one have know of any
rack mount 1U / 2U servers that will install and Run.
Must be 1-2 CPUs, lots or RAM, have SCSI/RAID and a
few drive bays. The stuff in the HCL cannot be bought new!
Thanks.

There's one photo page for each theme. So depending what template theme you pick, it will look slightly different.
This is a user forum, by the way You won't get a response from Apple here.

I must be stupid... Where have my playlists gone?

Touch 2G... I went to a lot of trouble to create my playlists. They synched okay when loading the Touch. But now, when I touch Playlists, all I see is Genius and On-The-Go. Where is all my music? I can access it through the alphabetical lists of Artists, Songs and Albums, but my Playlists are nowhere.
What am I missing?

Ah! Okay. The Touch must have been recently synched to show the Playlists. That's very different to regular iPods I have owned when the playlist list is always available.
Now I have another problem: it's regarding permanent extreme loudness. That's for another thread I think.
