IPhoto wasn't on iMac, so I saved them, but can't find them in Finder or Time capsule

I can't find pics from a digital camera that I saved about six months ago.  I looked in both Finder and Time Capsule.  What gives?

If you cannot find them then you or another user moved them, erased them or possibly know how to use Finder. OS X doesn't just randomly delete photos.
Perhaps you can repost and this time provide more useful information such as theversion of OS X installed, where the files were located and what app you use to manage your photos.

  • How can I remove the iPhoto upgrade to my iMac OSX 10.2.8? Can the upgrade return my library?

    How can I remove the iPhoto upgrade to my iMac OSX 10.2.8? Can the upgrade return my library?

    With respect, we'll need rather more detail than that.
    In general, you can only roll back an upgrade to a library with a back up. No back up, no roll back.

  • After upgrading to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5 my shared photo streams seem to contain no photos when seen in iPhoto. From iPad the streams are fine. How can I get them to be recognized by iPhoto again?

    After upgrading to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5 my shared photo streams seem to contain no photos when seen in iPhoto. From iPad the streams are fine. How can I get them to be recognized by iPhoto again?

    Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
    Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

  • I have used Airport Time Capsule with my iMac for several years. I recently purchased a MacBook Air and when it tried to backup to Time Capsule it couldn't because Time Capsule is full. How can I now use the 3TB Airport Time Capsule to back up both?

    I have used Airport Time Capsule with my iMac for a couple years. I recently purchased a MacBook Air and when it tried to backup to Time Capsule it couldn't because Time Capsule is full. How can I now use the 3TB Airport Time Capsule to back up both the iMac and MacBook Air? I don't mind losing earlier backups. I have excluded some items from backing up, but since the Airport Time Capsule is full, I can't even begin to back up the MacBook Air.

    On your Mac.......
    Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
    Click on the Disks tab at the top of the window
    Click Erase Disk
    On the next window that appears, select the Quick Erase option, then click Erase
    The operation will only take a few minutes.
    Now you are ready to start new backups of both Macs.  Back up one Mac first, then back up the other.  Do not try to back up both Macs as the same time.

  • Updating to iPhoto 9.5.1 lost all my photos. How can I retreive them?

    Updating to iPhoto 9.5.1 lost all my photos. How can I retreive them?
    I'm on a MacBook Pro using OS X version 10.9.5.
    When I attempted to edit a photo in the version I had at the time, I got a message that I must update to iPhoto 9.5.1 to use that function. So I did so. When I reopened iPhoto, all my photos were gone. I looked for them in finder but found none of my photos there in the iPhoto library either.
    My Time Machine backup, directs me back to iPhoto.
    I just want to re-load my photos. Can you help?

    What do you see when you launch iPhoto? How big is your iPhoto library? Where is it located?
    Directions for using Time Machine to restore are at the bottom of this article - Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support
    And note you NEVER use the finder to access your photos - you only access them using the proper tools - How to Access Files in iPhoto

  • HT1338 I can see my photos in iphoto but can't email them, edit them or print them....help please!

    I can see my photos in iphoto but can't email them, edit them or print them....help please!

    First, what is the formatting of the external hard drive?  It should be OS X Extended (journaled). You can determine it by selecting the EHD and typing Command + i. 
    Click to view full size
    If it isn't formatted to that you should move the library off of it and reformat.
    The "!" is an indication that the file path to the original file has been broken  So make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and 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.

  • I don't have iphoto or imovie. Do I have to buy them, or can I download them for free?

    Just bought a used mac mini that was restored back to factory settings. I don't have iphoto or imovie. Do I have to buy them, or can I download them for free? I saw in the app store that they were 14.99, but I thought they came with the computer. I'm new to the Mac world, so any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    They can be downloaded, but they are not free. You have a used computer. It was your responsibility to find out from the seller if they were installed. The seller gets the apps tied to his/her Apple ID. For you to use and update them would require you to purchase your own copies tied to your Apple ID.

    You sould be able to sync both ways.  Check your default calendar on your phone by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>scroll down to the calendars section to Default Calendar.  Check to be sure you have selected your mac calendar as your default (and not, for example, On My iPhone).  Then enter a new event on your phone and sync to confirm that it appears on your mac.

        pamalushka54,
    We want to make sure that we get your phone up and running. Can you look to see where you have the most stuff stored at. Settings>General>Usage>Storage.
    This will tell you what exactly is using everything. Then you can delete things from there.

  • I see photos in iPhoto, but can't see them in my iPhoto listings when I try to upload to Blogger.

    I click the Photo icon in Blogger, click Choose Photos, select the Photos in my left navigation, then scroll through iPhoto in the right side of the pane. None of my recently uploaded photos are available to select and add. My settings in iPhoto for sharing indicate that the whole iPhoto library is shared and not password protected.
    I don't know how to check where my files are being saved, so I can't answer that outright.

    That's my problem, on every other computer I upload to, this option works. I use the same procedure on this laptop and none of my new uploads appear when I select Media, photos, iPhoto. The new content is unavailable for selection to upload.

  • Can I create a network where the Time Capsule gets its internet connection from my iMac?

    Hi,
    I've recently bought a Time Capsulebut I'm having some problems with it on my university network. It is an Eduroam network, so each computer has to authenticate before it can get an Internet connection – I can't use the Time Capsule normally as it is unable to authenticate to the network. However, I'd like to be able to create a smaller network in my room (with my computer and iDevices on so that I can use Remote and stuff, as well as to potentially get my Xbox and Kindle,which can't connect either, online).
    Last time I did this, I had my iMac create an internet connection which it shared with everything else. (This was before I had the Time Capsule.) One way of solving it seems like it might be to share the Wifi internet connection with the Time Capsule through the ethernet, and then the Time Capsule can share the interent to everything else. Would this be possible? Or can you think of any other way that this could be done?
    In other terms, I have an iMac, a Time Capsule, an iPhone and iPad, a Kindle and an Xbox. Only the iMac can connect to the internet and I'd like them all to be able to, as well as being on the same network. Is this possible?
    Thanks!

    DropBox is another possibility for sharing files and it is free for the first 2GB of storage.

  • I like the idea of auto back-up for my new iMac, Ipad and PC Netbook, particularly if I can access all files and data stored on any device.  But I have a Conceptronic router.  Will Time Capsule work with this and how?

    I like the idea of auto back-up for my new iMac, Ipad and PC Netbook, particularly if I can access all files and data stored on any device.  But I have a Conceptronic router.
    1. Will Time Capsule work with this and how?
    2. Can my printer USB be plugged in and then shared between the devices?
    3. Can I create a network and how?
    4.  What happend when a visitor logs onto my existing wireless router?
    I'm new to Macs (well a returning user having started with Mac Plus!!) and not very technical.  Any help / advice will be much appreciated.
    Ray

    The key to what you seem to want to do is to be able to get Apple's Time Capsule router to "join" the network that your Conceptronic router.  I believe that works with some third-party routers, but I've never seen a list of those that work in such a configuration and I have no experience with Conceptronic equipment.
    You might be better off with a Network-Attached Storage (NAS) device instead of a Time Capsule.

  • Some pictures are invisible in iPhotos, visible in Finder, synchronized with my iPhone but can't delete them

    Hello everyone,
    If my tittle is not clear enough, I will try to make it!
    In fact I got 2 or 3 pictures took with my iPhone.
    I have delete them but it reappears...
    Now I can not delete it and they are unvisible in iPhotos.
    I can find them in Finder but that's all.
    If I delete it from Finder, I got a message from iTunes because it is a synchronize error as iTunes can not find pictures in iPhoto
    In iTunes my iPhone is set to be synchronized only with iPhoto's library...
    PLEASE HELP ME!!! :'( :'(

    It is still not perfectly clear, sorry. Please elaborate a bit.
    You took photos with your phone, and you deleted them. But where? On your Mac, on your phone?
    Where do they keep reappearing, and where do you want them gone and cannot delete them, on your phone or your Mac?
    I can find them in Finder but that's all.
    Where in the Finder do you see them? Waat is the path to the files?

  • Can I backup my laptop on the time capsule that is currently backing up my iMac data?

    Can I backup my Apple laptop on my time capsule which is currently backing up my iMac?

    Yes, assuming that there is ample room on the Time Capsule disk for all of the files on your laptop.

  • My iMac will detect Airport Express but can't read configuration? Any Suggestions?

    I bought an Airport Express about 3 weeks ago.  I brought it home and set it up no problems. It was replacing an older Netgear router that gave me nothing but IP adress problems. When I bought the Express I didn't realize that DirecTV had wired a connection to my Netgear router, so now I have no way to connect my DirecTV recievers to the internet without purchasing some wifi adapter which I don't want to do.  I tried to run the cable from my modem to the Netgear router, than out from the router to the DirecTV box and another to my Aiport Express for wifi. That is where the problems started. I couldn't get anything to connect correctly, ended up switching the express to "Bridge Mode" and it seemed to work. Only I didn't have Internet, though the light was green. I tried restarting everything but to no avail.  So, I tried a reset on the Airport Express and now I have nothing.  My iMac will detect the Airport Express but when I click continue to configure it simply says "Trying to read Airport Configuration", which eventually leads to an error and nothing. Any idea what my problem could be?

    Thanks. I really should have gotten back earlier. Sorry about that.
    I have stopped trying to use the Airport Express. I am convinced that it just doesn't work as a device to use for Internet sharing with other computers or iPod Touches that are using Airport. I find that I can easily connect just by turning on Airport and Internet sharing on my iMac and creating a Network. When I do that my iPod connects immediately and I can use all the Internet applications.
    But a Time Capsule is in my sights, and I'll use that when they finally roll out.
