In Snow Leopard, 'All Images' vs. 'My Pictures' files.

Can anyone discuss the differences between these two files, or point toward more information? I'm puzzled by their apparent redundancy.

Ah, OK. I think I see what's happening.
I believe you've had some files copied over from an older PC. Windows PCs have the "My ..." naming convention; Macs don't have that, and so those "My" folders must have come from your PC. They've all been copied into your Documents folder. You'll have to make an assessment of what's there - if you have older images in "My Pictures" that aren't in iPhoto, you may well want to import them.
The house icon is the user home folder on the Mac. So that's where all your Mac subfolders are. Normally you'll want to work most of the time in Pictures when you're working with images. (You can store files anywhere you want, really, but the subfolder structure may help to keep you organized).
If I'm correct about All Images, it's only a virtual collection - it doesn't make copies, or take up any extra room on your system. Are you seeing that in the sidebar, maybe with a purple-colored folder icon with a little gear symbol in it? (That's the icon for a smart folder.)
So don't worry too much about All Images. You can even remove the smart folder from the sidebar if it's not useful to you - doing so won't delete any files.
I would take a look at the "My Pictures" folder that's come across from your PC, and see what's not yet in iPhoto, and drag and drop images into iPhoto if you need to.
That 80GB drive is a pretty old external drive, if you don't mind me saying so. I would probably recommend finding something newer, larger and faster.

  • My Imac drive just died. Always backed up with Time machine to a WD My Passport. But after connecting it to my other imac (also running Snow Leopard) all the files are missing. I click on backup.backupdb but no files - just applications. Any ideas?

  • Preview.app in Snow Leopard doesn't open some jpg files

    Preview.app in Snow Leopard doesn't open some jpg files.
    Preview does't issue an error message, it behaves as I did't try to open file at all.
    These images could be easy opened in iPhoto, so files seem to be OK.
    I couldn't attach one such example image to this message, it's exceeds 2mb limit, but courtesy to google image could be downloaded by the link https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B56gs1tsb9aNYjA2MDdmNzUtOWY3NS00ODg1LWIzZDAtYTA 5YzFjZmZjYjRh&hl=en_US.
    What's that? Should I file a bug?

    Unfortunately, it sounds as if your internal disk failed (hardware failure).
    Things to try:
    (1) Boot from your Apple Hardware Test CD/DVD, which sometimes is a separate disk or sometimes is on the original OS install disk. Run the tests, all of them, to see what is amiss.
    (2) Reset PRAM as described in  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 . I don't think this is likely to help because even though your startup disk is not being selected, it seems that your internal disk is simply unable to be found or mounted, implying hardware failure more than software. But it's worth a try.
    Probably time to take your computer in for repairs, either at the Apple Store or to an authorized Apple repair shop. Most likely they will simply replace your drive. You could also ask them to mount the old drive in an enclosure to see if files can be copied from it if you don't have a backup.

  • It's been a while since I upgraded my system.  Is there anything I should do before upgrading from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard other than backing up my files?  The transition should be pretty seamless, right?

    How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
    A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
    Boot from your current Tiger Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and later.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally. 
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
    Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    C. Important: Please read before installing:
    If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
    You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
    The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update.  While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
    D. To upgrade:
    Purchase the Snow Leopard Retail DVD.
    Boot From The OS X Installer Disc:
    Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
    Restart the computer.
    Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
    Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
    Wait for installer to finish loading.
    E. If updating:
    Download and install update(s) 
    Use Software Update, or
    Download standalone updater(s).

  • MBA old gen. and Snow Leopard - TIFF images seen as blank in some web pages

    After I upgraded to Snow Leopard, I see blank the TIFF images displayed in some web sites, like for example any patent image in the www.uspto.gov web site.
    This happens on both Safari and Firefox. They both use the QuickTime plugin (I have version 7.6.3).
    However, if I drag and drop the TIFF image and save it in the local hard drive, local applications like Preview display the page correctly.
    It seems to be an issue with QuickTime and possibly the MacBook model (I have a first generation MacBook Air, with the GMA X3100 Intel graphic card).
    Has anybody experienced this bug?

    Any patent image in the www.upsto.gov web site. For example, this link goes to the first page of the U.S. Patent 161,739 Improvement in Transmitters and Receivers for Electric Telegraphs by A.G. Bell:

  • Snow Leopard .dmg image wil not boot once restored.

    Hi, I have a AMC Mini with various partitions that I use, each ccontaining a OS.
    When I Install Snow Leopard, it installs fine, and runs ok. I took an Image of the partition using Disk Utility, and use it to restore the OS back to the default.
    When I restore this image, back onto the partition, and reboot the partition, nothing happens. The boot stops part way through, and the partition will not boot correctly.
    This works fine with Leopard and Tiger images.
    Does anyone have any ideas what is going wrong?

    Ok, i'll try to outline the whole process.
    My HDD is partitioned into 4 partitions.
    Partition 1: 10.5.8 - This is used as an 'Admin' partition to image and restore images
    Partition 2: 10.5.8 - Standard install
    Partition 3: 10.6.1 - Standard install
    Partition 4: This just contains all the Images, and is not bootable.
    Once I have installed an OS onto partition 2 or 3, I then reboot, using 'Startup disk' into Partition 1.
    From here, using 'Disk utility' I then select the partition containing the OS (2 or 3) and click 'New Image'
    I create a 'Compressed' image, with no encryption.
    Then when I wish to restore this image back to the original partition (2 or 3), I use the restore feature in 'Disk utility'
    Once the image has been restored, I boot into that partition.

  • CS4 Master Edition & Snow Leopard all crash when saving and exporting

    Add this one to the list of suffering CS4 users. My first ever post in my life.
    The details - CS4, Master Edition Mac Pro, all did run well on old leopard system.
    The story, upgrading and updating to 10.6.1 all CS4 programmes instantly crashed when using save as, save, or export. This happens about 70% of the time.
    An erase of the hard drive and fresh install NO UPDATES CS4 was fine, After a couple of days I took a chance and updated the apple software (included is HP printer driver 2.2 and canon printer driver 2.1 included in the update package. almost as soon as the printer driver was around 50% downloaded CS4 started crashing. (photoshop / illustrator / indesign) All updates from apple are now installed and I have to save at almost every stroke I make in CS4 as I have deadlines, and I have fooled around too much with this upgrade. I will not go into the inability of scanning with my HP CM1312nfi MFP (networked), but any resolution there would be nice also, as now I have to scan to the memory card and then network out to the the desktop.
    Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.6.1) Serial - YM90101ZXYL - BUILT 10B504

    I tried all suggestions with no real good effect. I spent two hours reinstalling Leopard 10.5 and CS4 Master now all is good and staying good. That proves something is up with Snow Leopard. I will wait for the upgrade and response before I will touch Snow Leopard again. Save your time and money and do not buy or use this operating system yet.

  • HT5891 how do I clear all the apps so I can see just the desktop background like in Snow Leopard all those years ago?

    I used to just be able to three finger swipe up!

    Sorry I wasn't quite clear,
    I meant that in order to see what I have on my desktop like on startup before I use any apps, I just want to hide any apps that are running without having to actually close any. Say for example I want to open a document or movie that I know is on my desktop I could just swipe up on Snow Leopard and see them, but I don't know how to do this on Mavericks.

  • I need to upgrade my Macbook Pro from 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard. Will I lose any files on my drive if I do that?

    I have a Macbook Pro running 10.4.11. I am trying to upgrade from that to Snow Leopard then to 10.7.5. I know that I have to do it in steps. My question ins this. I have a Snow Leopard disk that came with my Imac that I can use to upgrade my laptop. When I go through the process, it says something about using Timeline to restore. Am I going to lose all of my files? All I need is for the OS to be updated. Will it be safe to go through with it or will I lose all of my files on the drive. Any answers to this question are much appreciated.

    You can't use the Mac OS X disc that came with another computer to upgrade another Mac because it's not supported. Buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    You shouldn't lose data, but you must make a backup before

  • How do I downgrade from Mavericks to Snow Leopard and save my new pages files?

    Unfortunately, the Mavericks system isn't working for me. It's way too slow, has issues with Finder and so on. Basically it's just a pain in my *** and my
    beloved Mac Book Unibody (2010) just can't handle it! After searching for hours online for a solution, I'd love to get back to the good old times.
    I read that I can downgrade to Snow Leopard with my latest TM backup, using the recovery mode. Problem is that I "upgraded" sometime in October, so I have accumulated a bunch of new files. Being a teacher, I have tons of documents and Apple unfortunately changed all the old '09 files into '13 ones. Will they still work under the new old system, or do I have to find some way to export them into '09 files?
    Is it fine to use the TM backup, or is it better to use ds store's method to recover the system?
    Thanks

    I backed up the system just prior to upgrading.

  • Updated to Snow Leopard and now cant repair certain file permissions

    Hello,

  • How do I revert back to Snow Leopard from OS Lion without losing files etc

    I need to revert back as my work VPN cannot operate with the java cocoa version that is part of safari due to the OS Lion upgrade I performed.  I have done a ton of work on my system in the last week and don't want to lose any of it - and no I didn't use time machine.  HOw much am I going to lose when I uninstall Lion and then reinstall Leopard?
    Thank so much for your help,
    cmw

    First, do a full backup of your current system.
    Reformat your hard drive's main partition that you want to revert to Snow Leopard from Lion. This will delete EVERYTHING on the partition, which is why you need to do the backup first.
    Reinstall Snow Leopard from the installer media you own.
    Download then install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Combo Updater.
    Run Software Update repeatedly until there are no updates left to install.
    Reinstall all your third-party applications.
    Connect the backup you made of the Lion system and copy over your data. You should only have to copy over the files you know about within your own user account folder.
    If you do this right, you'll have everything back in Snow Leopard with no loss. If you do it wrong, well, that's another reason we made a backup all the way back in the beginning of this process - you can always start over.

  • In my Macbook Pro finder folder under All Images, there are duplicate files, but one is small and the other is full size. I wanted to clean up the files, but don't know why I have two of everything. Any Ideas?

    In my Macbook Pro, the Finder folder has duplicate images in the 'all images' file. One image is small and the other is full size. First question is why do I have two of every image? Why is one small and the other large. Do I need two of everything? If not, which do I delete?
    thanks, Jean

    Hello fane,
    Re: duplicate images in finder.
    Nearly all images are JPG with a few GIF and PNG sprinkled in.
    I opened the inspector so I do get info when opening each image, but it a slow process.
    It seems that one image is around 70k while its twin can be up to 4Mb which is what comes unedited from my camera. Sometimes there will be 3 or 4 identical images in finder, but when I open iPhoto to see what ‘s really in the file, I find only one image, and it’s full sized.
    Are all these extra images, even if they are aliases, taking up space on my drive? And should I delete them? The info bar says I have over 10,000 images, which is rather a lot  for what I do.
    I am unable to add the file size on the view menu as it is grayed out. Don’t know why it’s gray, but having that info on the screen would save a lot of time and fiddling with each image.
    I am trying to resize selected pix so I can upload them to e-bay, which requires less than 70k. I have looked at resizing programs but most are for PC platform and not Mac, so I am trying to resize in the finder window under tools. Tedious at best. Any suggestions will be appreciated
    Thanks for your help,

  • In Snow Leopard, Autofill cannot see the Access file.

    For years this MacBookPro running older OS X versions had no problem with autofill accessing the Access Keychain or the Address Book. I relied on it andit was always there.
    But ever since I installed and updated Snow Leopard, autofill fails nearly every time. For example, before Snow my login to gmail was automated. With Snow autofill automates my login name but not the password. I didn't change anything. Autofill changed.
    And it seems to be random failure. It ignores "Leave me logged in" check boxes. It will remember login and password to some ordinary commercial sites and not others. For example, autofill refused today to recognize my account at rockauto.com. I set up a second account and it refuses to see that one also. Both are checked "Keep me logged in."
    Has Apple published a fix or workaround for this bug?

    If you're referring to desktop icons, right click on the desktop > Show view options > check "show item information".

  • I recently loaded Mac OS X Snow Leopard and now cant save PDF files It ask me for my Owners password. Cant remember it

    I recently Loaded Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3 on my MacBook. Now I cant print or save PDF files. I am asked for my "Owners Password" I bought this mac new, 3 years ago and dont remember my Owners password only my admin. How can I fix this?
    Please Advise
    Rich

    That is your admin password. You might try this:
    To fix Home folder permissions
    Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder.  At the command line prompt enter or paste the following command line:
    sudo chown -R `id -un`:`id -gn` ~
    Press RETURN.  You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed.
    I would also do this:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    And, consider downloading either Mac OS X v10.6.7 Update Combo or Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo and updating the system, but only after doing the above suggestions.
