Locating Photos and Location of Photos

How can I find where my original photos are located?
How can I choose where I want my photos located when uploaded from camera to computer? Must photos be uploaded to iPhoto?
Is "My Pictures" folder in "Go" menu separate from iPhoto?
My camera software uploads my photos to its own folder in "Applications". Can I, and if so how, move them to a folder I want them stored in under "My Pictures" so that I can access them directly?
Thanks for your help.

My camera software uploads my photos to its own folder in "Applications"
Isn't that the answer to your first question?
No, photos don't have uploaded into iPhoto. You can use any software you like, and you can put the pics anywhere you like.
The Pictures folder is different from iPhoto. The iPhoto Library Folder is in the Pictures folder.
Some pointers if you're thinking of using iPhoto:
1. You can set it to become launch when you connect your camera. You do this by going to Image Capture in your applications folder. In the Preferences to that app you can nominate what happens when you connect a camera. This can then bypass your camera software altogether.
2. iPhoto is not an image viewer, as you've been using on Windows. It's a Photo Organiser: that is a database, with a built-in image viewer, entry level editing and excellent slide show, and other facilities. With iPhoto you import your pics, and then in the iPhoto Window you organise them - into albums, smart albums, calendars, books etc. Everything you need to do with your pics can be done via the iPhoto Window.
If you just want to put your photos into the pictures folder, then simply drag them from wherever your camera software has put them and drop them into the Pictures folder.
I hope you find this helpful, and if you require more info, then post again.

I was trying to share some photos and my i photo app is totally frozen on the desktop I can no longer access i photo or the photos I was trying to share. Help!

How were you sharing the photos?
Try to backup your iPhoto library and hold down the option and command keys while launching iPhoto - key the keys down until the first aid window appears - rebuild your database

My photos are not working, any recently taken photos won't show, they're just like blank grey pictures & all my photos cannot be uploaded or loaded into an editing tap, it says error, cannot find photo, and the last photo I take ends up being repeated!

someone please help me! I just traveled to hong long and the minute I arrived something wrong was happening with my photos, I can't take any new photos because if I did they either get repeated or just be shown as grey pictures and when I try to upload one to a photo editing app it says "error cannot Load photo" and the same happens in twitter and Facebook! this has been found on for Like more than a week now, even when I want to set a picture as my profile picture in man it ends up zooming the picture way more than how I chose it in the border,, I would like to be able to take good photos again, any help?

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

Get employee photo and display the photo in external system.

Hi,
We start to work with the portal....We want an application that display the employee photo..
The photo is the same one that appear in pa20/30...
We create the photos in OAAD and have a table repository.
How from here i can use this to build a RFC that return "data"..that from the external system we can show the photo,
Thanks.

write a RFC which uses
'HR_IMAGE_EXISTS' to get the image document id and then use 'ALINK_RFC_TABLE_GET' to image in JPG format convert the returned RAW table to xstring format using SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING pass the resulting xstring as the export parameter of this RFC .
portal application can now use this xsring to render the image.

Lost iPOD photos and cannot import photos

Hi
I am currently travelling and have been downloading my few daily photos to my iPOD.
Last night I tried to download my photos from my camera to my iPOD but I received an error message that there had been an error while trying to import photos. Also all my other photo rolls are no longer there.
Any idea how i can retrieve my other photos and then download future days photo's as I keep getting the error message?
Thanks
Chris

I too lost photos and cannot transfer them to my computer!
I have been using my ipod out in the "field" to store my digital photos. Everything was working perfectly until yesterday. Now my imac G5 is not mounting the ipod. The techie at apple helped me but there is NO WAY to retrieve the digital photos that I can see on my ipod. Since the ipod will not mount on the imacG5 or my other G5 dual; and it will not mount as a disc, my only alternative is to restore the ipod. I will lose 3 days photo work and 4GB of images that were uploaded to the ipod and then I re-used the Compact flash cards!! I am outraged that apple will continue to tell people that the ipod connector and ipod work together!

Are you using a web safe font?

How do I create a new folder in photos and move selected photos to it?, How do I create a new folder in photos and move selected photos to it?

Help!

You can't create new folders directly the Photos app at this time. It is supposed to be a new feature in iOS 5. You either need to create the folders in the main folder from which you sync your photos in iTunes and sync again, or you can download third party apps that allow you to sort photos on the iPad. You can look at Photo Sort for this function in the App Store.

How do I save photos and videos with Photo Stream that don't come back to my phone once they stream to my computer?

When I take pictures they stream to iCloud and the photo stream works fine. But when I delete photos on my iphone4S they end up being put back on the phone by photo stream and or when I sync the phone.

There are a few reason why the songs might not have "matched." The bit rate is too low or too high (probably not the latter), or the files are over 200 MB. Or perhaps the songs were purchased from the iTunes Store using an account your iTunes is not authorized for.
So you can use Get info... to get all this information on the songs. If the tracks is encoded at lower than 96 Kbps it will be ineligible. One thing you can try is converting the songs to AAC, then add them to iCloud.

I am having troubel moving mycamera rool inside of my photos and making separate photo albums

Iam having troubel moving my camera rolls in my photos on my iphone 4 i would like to make more albums

I have the same configuration:
10.7.2 Aperture 3.2.2
When I drag an image from one project to another it just moves to the other project - no special preference settings required.
If there are several versions of the same image, all versions go along with the image.
If the images are stacked, all versions and all of the stack move to the new project.
Only if images are synched with other services, iCloud, MobileMe then occasionally they appear again in their original albums. Are your images part of synched albums?

Raw photos and jpg in photos

Hi I recently switched to the brand new Photos app, now I found my first major problem. I usually shoot in RAW and Jpeg on my camera, when I import these to the photos app I get an icon with a J (believe this tells me there is the raw and jpg file) but when i trie to get Photos to show the RAW file this option is not available. Anyone having similar problems?

I had the same problem and there is a solution.
You need to open the image in Edit mode and then right-click or pull down the Image menu. There you will see the "use RAW as original" option. So far, it seems that Apple has decided that this shouldn't be a global option (even though it was in Aperture) so we're stuck with a clumsy and unintuitive option that doesn't 'just work'. It's a shame, because I've been otherwise impressed with the Photos app.
As for @LarryHN's suggestion, that isn't an option for some of us. I often shoot B&W, if I want to preview in camera, I need the B&W jpg produced in camera. However, I will do final processing on my Mac and for that I will use the original RAW file. So, thanks for your concern, but I am not complicating my life for no reason. However, Apple most definitely is with this photographer unfriendly mess.

20 gb of photos and an empty photo appo

my photo app is empty, but the memory says 19 gb plus of photos. Tried everything even totally restoring.
after restarting again 19gb. How can I empty my memory?
bit desperate.

How do I Un sync my photos?
perhaps my PC Picture storage is not set up right because I can sych my iphone.. IE the icon shows up below the start menu but the device does not seem to fully connect to Itunes. I have an account with user name and password but Is it a problem that I have all photos going to My Pictures which is the Microsoft program?

HELP! I changed my desktop photo and lost all photos and music!

I swear, all i did was put a pretty picture of lightening (that was in Apple's list of stock photos to choose from BTW!) on my desktop. It might as well have been real lightening because iPhoto doesn't have any of my pictures in it and iTunes doesn't have any of my music. When I open these folders, I can find the content there, but why did it disappear from the programs AND if I change my desktop back, will the pics/tunes come back?!?! I can live without the photos but the music and movies!!!! I have it all on my iPhone but now I am afraid to "sync" it to my computer.
Perhaps something easy like "import"?

Well, I ended up just dragging and dropping my music back into iTunes and it recopied them but all playlists are gone... oh well. As far as I can tell, all purchased music is there as well.
As far as the photos, I can see and open them in the pictures file (with the album titles and all) with Preview, but I tried to drag and drop those as well, but it was saying there was an error and it couldn't read them or something like that. I know, I should have written the error message down... rookie mistake. Just to test, I tried to upload a picture from the folder to a website, but when I went to browse for the picture it didn't recognize any of them.
I also repaired permissions (there were alot!) a couple of times until there were none. That didn't seem to work... I am so frustrated. They are all there on the hard drive but they wont go into iPhoto.
I think the worst part is... why did this happen and what to avoid so it won't happen again. I can't believe it is just because I changed the background on my desk top. After I did it, many of my regular sites like webmail didn't recognize me when I visited and I had to answer a bunch of my security questions again. Its as if they don't recognize this is the same computer just because it has a different screen saver!!! If all this really is because of that, it is a major design flaw. Why put the option to change if it is going to throw the whole system into a tailspin?
I am sure it is something I did wrong... just venting.
Anyway, how to get the photos imported back into iPhoto... any more ideas?

Photo stream not showing up under photos? There is options for photos and album under photos but no photo stream

I just bought an ipad mini 2. However, could not find photo stream under photos. Why?

Hi there, thanks for the answers. I think I didn't explain it clearly. I have enable photo stream, however I couldnt see my photo stream album in the Photo app. When I take photos from my iPad mini, it synced to my photo scream on my iPhone so i assume I am using the same iCloud account. But this photo stream album does not appear on my iPad mini.

TS3276 I cannot send any email that has photos. and cannot drag photos to desktop

I cannot send any email with photos attached. Also cannot drag photos to desktop. keeps asking for password or email sent is "failed"

Thanks Larry, I am using the default account that was used by the previous version of iPhoto, I did not change any settings when I installed 11. The program deos not seem to give me an option to use an alternate. When I try to send photos I receive a message that the program does not recognize my username/password as follow;
"The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination."
