IPhoto....where are you????!!!!

Hi all,
I am new to Mac Book Pro, recently installed the new OSX Mavericks, naively assuming that my photos would be safe!? Now I cannot even get INTO the iPhoto on my doc, there is a huge closed sign on it.???Yikes! What do I do? Are my pictures gone? HELP!

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

You don't go that way.
iPhoto is a database, and you need to use the tools provided to access the data:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. 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:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
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.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: 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. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Smg123 where are you?

smg123 where are you?
I have a question related to post:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=31&thread=347231
Was the dll ever completed and is it available?
I know smg123 changed usernames last year because of password problems...but I haven't seen that username (smg123NewAndImproved) since December.

although i still would like to see if that dll was ever made, I was able to do what I needed on my own, creating a shortcut in windows from java.

@ Nokia - where are you?

OK, so as this is the official Nokia Support Discussions forum I'm wondering where is the input from Nokia addressing all the many, many complaints from disgruntled owners of Nokia devices after this screwed-up Belle 'update'?

Even if I'm not as satisfied with Belle (yet) as with Anna or previous Eseries platforms, I don't think it's fair to complain so much and blame Nokia for Belle, being "horrible", "non-user friendly", "step backward" and other negative adverbs.
Belle's been out for 2 weeks and getting used to the new UI takes some time. Some may like it immediately (I do), some need some time, others don't like it. There will always be people complaining. These same people will "not buy Nokia ever again" and will rather buy iPhone. Well, let's wait for a week and they'll login to the Apple's discussion forum asking "how is it possible that my XY app doesn't sync with my WZ software" or "this is much easier to do with Nokia, hey Apple, where are you guys?". Finally, "I overpayed this iStuff and expected it to work. I'll never buy an iPhone again.". That's life.
Think about - it's a nice gesture from Nokia to offer a FREE upgrade to Belle. It was OUR decision to upgrade, Nokia didn't made us to do it. Perhaps it would be wiser to make Belle payable (couple of euros, make it 20). THEN people should read the specs, what it features and decide if it fulfills the expectations. Making a formal complaint (reclamation) would be reasonable since you payed for it. And Nokia would benefit $$ and could actually pay the SW engineers from this income. But it was for free.
Personally, I like the interface and overall performance - it's smooth(er), battery life is extended, it's easier to control the BT, 3G, Wifi as some examples. I realized some bugs but am sure they'll fix them. I'm annoyed about Wifi bug, absence of remaining characters in SMS messages, but I think I'll survive.
I'm sure "Nokia" is following our discussions but releasing fixes every week is not even possible, reasonable nor feasible. Take time, get a buglist not only from 100 non-satisfied users but from larger pool of users and focus on the most important ones. These phones must work in Germany, California, Hongkong, Christchurch, Novosibirsk, Tahiti, Patagonia,... different languages, fonts, mobile network properties, operators -- you know what I mean?

Iphoto where are my pictures

where are my pctures? i imported from iphone. i see no folder called iphoto library in (can't)finder, and i want to copy these photos onto a thumb drive.

You should never go directly into the iPhoto library for any reason. There is no reason to and it is dangerous
To put photos on a thumb drive launch iPhoto and export them to a desktop folder, mount the thumb drive and drag the folder to it

My older photos are gone from iPhoto, where are they?

I can't see any of my older photos from years past. As I have upgraded iPhoto they have dissappeared. The preferences says that I can only see the last 18 months. Where did my photos go?

Which version of iPhoto and which version of OS X are you on?
Do you have multiple iPhoto Libraries?
Have you tried holding command and option down on the keyboard while opening iPhoto, then choosing Repair Database and clicking Repair?

HT3529 where are you smiley faces and symbols for texting on the iphone 5c?

Where are the smiley faces and symbols for texting?

On the emoji keyboard. Go to Settings>General>Keyboard>Add Keyboard and select emoji. Then you will have a small globe key near the number key on the left side of the keyboard. This will allow for selecting between the regular keyboard and the emoji keyboard.

10.8.4 where are you

cannot wait for 10.8.4 to be released cause 10.8.3 is not working on mine machine so frustrating so best option now to wait any one give me a clue when the next version comes out so my computer works a1 ok again?

Here are some suggestions for getting the best results from this site.
Give details of the problem. Don't just state your conclusion as to what's causing it. A remark such as "I think I have a virus," or "I got an error," or "X doesn't work" conveys no information. If X did work, you wouldn't be here. Instead, you should post something like this: "I did A; I was expecting B; but I got C instead." Include the complete text of any error messages you saw and where you saw them: in an application window, a CrashReporter window, a log, or whatever. Also include the steps you’ve taken yourself, if any, to try to resolve the issue. If the problem is of recent origin, did you make any changes to your setup just before you first noticed it? Is the problem reproducible or intermittent? That is, does it always manifest itself when you take a certain action, or only at unpredictable times?
Before posting, ask yourself whether it’s likely that you are the the only person ever to have had this problem. If not, search the discussions for answered questions similar to yours. If you found any pertinent information, but it didn't help, include details.
Post in the most relevant discussion area. Usually that means the area for the type of Mac you're using, if the problem is hardware-related, or for the OS X version you’re running, if it’s more software-related. Some other Apple products, such as Safari, iTunes, and iPhoto, have their own forums.
If asking about third-party software, specify what it is, the website where you got it (if applicable), and what version you have. Ask the developer for help first. Include the results of that contact in your message: what you were told and what you did.

Scanning into iPhoto -where are files landing, and how to get copies?

Maybe if I describe my current situation, I can better understand what a good way of maintaining the archive of photos I've kept for 13 years is in a cross-platform manner. I just scanned a photo, and chose to tell the scanning software to send it into iPhoto. There it ends up in the package, in folders like Originals>>2009>>May 25, 2009 and May 25, 2009_2 for the second scan, etc, etc.
So I can either copy the files that are in those folders to the desktop, taking care not to remove or delete them, and then push them into my archive in the folders I want them, or I could save out each one as it hits iPhoto, using the Export function. I've got 18 years of film photos I'm going through to add to my digital archive the best memories of my wife, who recently passed. So if I find one of us at Fallen Leaf Lake in 1995, I want to shove it into my archive folder in a folder called 1995, and it's subfolder Summer. iPhoto has been a godsend in this project, but I also want to continue maintaining my application-independent archive, and am thinking that maybe saving out each photo as it hits iPhoto is the way to go. And is it possible I'm just not getting how to scan a bunch of related photos at once and have them all land in the same folder or event?
With every photo getting it's own folder in the package, today's date in the metadata, and it's own new "untitled event", I'm finding it difficult to make much progress.

Okay I've figured out a way to work with the scanned photo files before iPhoto. But what do I do to get them into iPhoto in a way that makes sense? I've got film-only photos I need from around 1990 all the way up till the recent past. So I'm looking at nine photos of my wife at our daughter's first birthday. To pull them into iPhoto without creating a bunch of folders, events, with today's dates.... Should I put them into folders with descriptive names in the hopes that that will cause iPhoto to assemble them into an event by that same name?
That is a good idea
drag the folder onto the iPhoto icon in the dock to import all of the photos in it as an event with the folder name
Also you can use file names (name managler - http://www.manytricks.com/namemangler/ -is a good program for renaming files) before importing to iPhoto
And use some kind of metadata editor to assign dates before pulling them into iPhoto? I whacked my entire iPhoto library a few days back over this this and some other sets of photos, because once I got them into the same "event", I used Command+A to select them for a date change. However that did not select all the photos in the event, it selected all the photos in the library. Then the date change put everything out of whack for all the photos - apparently it adds or subtracts to the Julien dates, so instead of making everything that certain date, in this case it adjusted all photos to lose about ten years.
You used adjust them and date - it adds a constant delta to the dates which does not work for scanned photos since they have no "date taken" - you want the batch change time and date to change all selected photos to a specific date and time (with the possibility of adding an increment to the time)

In iPhoto, where do you find the dpi of your pictures?

I am trying to send some photos to a company that requires a specific dpi to make prints.
how do i find the dpi of my photos so i can size them appropriately?

i do not understand.
I selected an image in iPhoto.
I looked to the top right menu bar and did not see an italic i in a square.
From left to right, there ia an Adobe symbol, clock, 3 dots between brackets symbol, the volume symbol, then a symbol that looks like a B covered by 3 dots (it says bluetooth when i click in it), then the wifi symbol, day, time, my name, search symbol.
I didnt understand any of the math you mention.
Could you be a little more specific?
I am trying to send images to a print company to have reproductions made but when i sent the first image, they wrote me back and said there are certain sizes they can reproduce based on the dpi of my image and what i had sent so far was not adequate. so i want to see the dpi's of my images so i know what to do about it.
Thanks!

29Gig of photos on drive, but only 1.8G in Iphoto - where are they?

Hello all - I found that my drive was nearly full, and had to make some room, so I found many pics which I no longer needed, and thus deleted them, however I found this barely touched what the profiler says I have for photos/video on my drive. It says I have almost 30Gig, but iPhoto says I have just 1.8 in that program. Where else could they be?
Thanks

Hello Larry
I see it is 9.5.1. When I deleted the few I had I just right clicked and put them in the trash, or highlighted and hit "delete". However, the few dozen I deleted in no way approaches almost 27Gig of photo/video which is showing up when I go to "About this Mac" and clcik on "more info". I think the 27Gig is somewhere other than in IPhoto, or could it possibly be that all the thousands of photos I have deleted I did the wrong way, thus are still on my drive somewhere?
Thanks

Iphoto - Where are my photos

Today, my iPhoto crashed, and tried to open it again. Doing so, I detected that there are two files with my photos. One is called "iPhoto Library" and Finder tells it is an "iPhoto Library". The other one is an "iPhoto Library", but it is called "iPhoto-Mediathek". What is what?

One is called "iPhoto Library" and Finder tells it is an "iPhoto Library". The other one is an "iPhoto Library", but it is called "iPhoto-Mediathek". What is what?
Probably both will be holding your photos. Look at the dates for "created" and "last changed" in the Finder, to see, when iPhoto created them or changed them. Also, look at the sizes in the Finder. The largest one will be holding the bulk of your photos.
It depends on your System Preferences for "Language & Region" how your iPhoto Library will be called by default, when it is created. If your primary System Language is "German", the iPhoto Library will be called iPhoto-Mediathek.photolibrary, and if it is English, it will be called "iPhoto Library.photolibrary".
Double-click the largest library in the Finder to open it in iPhoto. Does iPhoto open? If it prompts you, that the library needs repairing, then let it repair the library. It may take a while, but is recommended after a crash.

IPhoto--where are folders names and organization stored?

I am using FolderShare to move my i Photos between my laptop and home desktop computer. I have successfully moved the actual photos but not sure which file stores the organized folder names with which photos go in each folder. Any one know which one to copy over? (Or is it several?)

Hi James,
You need to copy over the ENTIRE iPhoto Library folder to keep a working library. all albums, slideshows, books info are stored in data files. Everything needs to be together to work properly.
what is the end result you are trying to accomplish?
do you want to be able to open the library with iPhoto on the other computer with all Albums, keywords, etc. intact?

Hard Disk Memory - where are you?

I have the MacBook Air a few months now. I've had the error message 'Start up Disk Full', so I cleared off old vids etc and got a few clean up tips from YouTube videos. That's ok for now.
I've used Disk Discovery to see what level of memory is taken up in files on the hard disk. From what I can gather 37Gb is taken up by everything - user and system files etc. My system resources say I have 12Gb free and the HD is 64Gb. I can't uncover where the other 15Gb is.
So, my question is two fold - How much of my 64Gb should be taken up by system files (I assumed about 10Gb) and where can I locate the remainder of my memory?
All hints & tips welcome. I want to fill up a 32Gb iPod from my iTunes.
Ta,
Phil.

If you go to the Apple Menu, select "About This Mac", and click "Storage", you'll get a sense of how much everything is taking up on your Mac.
The system is going to take up about 10-15GB of space.
Here are some hints to eek out some more storage.
Download and run Monolingual. It is free and will remove all the languages you are not going to use within the OS. For me, I only speak and use English, so I removed everything but English and saved about 1.5GB of storage space.
I purchased Clean My Mac 2 and recovered almost 5GB of storage by removing junk like log files, etc. that build up within OS X. It also has a nice feature which will show you all the files that haven't been used in a long time and/or take up a lot of space. There are ways to do this manually in Finder, but this program makes it a lot more straightforward.
After installing applications I look in the app folders for crap like sample files, readme files, legal files, etc. - all the crap that gets installed that you're never going to actually use or look at. That isn't a ton of space, but good for a few hundred MB. Every little bit counts in my book.
Always keep about 10% of your storage free. The OS constantly writes/deletes information and the less free space it has to work with the slower it will perform.
Hope this helps!

All of my photos are gone off my iphoto, where are they?

All of my photos, events, everything is missing off my iphoto. Where has everything gone?

Gee. I have no idea. What version of iPhoto and of the OS do you have? What recently changed? What do you see? What error messages do you get? What else can you tell a total stranger that might help them assist you
And you really need to purchase an external hard drive at least 2 1/2 times as large as your hard drive and start using Time Machine or another backup program of your choice. With no backup you will lose all of your files and photos sooner or later
