Mail won't see iPhoto Library folders

When trying to send an attachement in Mail:
1) Click on "Attach" paperclip icon.
2) Click on "Pictures" frame icon.
3) Click on "iPhoto Library" icon.
4) "iPhoto" icon appears, but clicking on it does not make sub-folders appear in the next column.
How do I get to a specific folder or photo stored in my iPhoto Library using the "attach" icon in Mail?

Easiest way to email iPhoto Library photos is:
Open iPhoto app
Select photo(s) you want to send
Select "Share" at top of window
Select "Email"
If you want photos to be icons, right click photo in email window and select icon. You should try to keep the email under 5 MB. If it is larger, use the selections for size in the bottom border of the email.

Iphoto library folders

Why is it when you mess around with the folder names & change them they dissapear from iphoto? I'd like to organize my iphoto library folders better then having to search multiple numbered folders but when I start renaming then it's no longer in iphoto.

Yes, that is what I am saying.
I can tell you though, if you upgrade to iPhoto 6 you will be happier.
In iPhoto 6, the name you give your rolls is also reflected in the Finder.
When I import dated folders of photos I make sure I give the folder a name like
"12/25/2006 Christmas" or 7/04/2006 Fireworks". So if I need to find a photo, it is there in the Finder under the Year with the same roll name.
You can rename your rolls now, though the new name for the rolls won't be reflected in the Finder until you install iPhoto 6 and upgrade your library.
I can also tell you that I keyword all my photos. In iPhoto preferences under keywords, I add the new keywords I need. After each import I keyword all my photos.
Using Spotlight to search for a keyword will give me all the photos with that keyword. I can then find the photo in the Finder by Control clicking on the photo in the search window and scrolling to "reveal in Finder"
There are lots of more little tricks so ask away if you need more info.
To get you started, here is some stuff I put together for iPhoto 5:
--First thing to know and remember is this...Do not drag any images, folder of images into the iPhoto Library in the Finder. Images have to be imported into iPhoto within the application. Do not scan images and save them into the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder. Save them to another location such as the Pictures folder or even the desktop. You can then import them into iPhoto.
If you have already put files/folders in the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder then you will also find out that if you try to import them into iPhoto you will get an error message. No worry, just drag them to the desktop and import from there.
--All images that you import are shown in the library view. You can choose how you want to view, by rolls, by date, by rating, etc. When you put images in an Album, slideshow, book, etc, you are actually just putting pointers to those images in the library. You are not adding more images. If you delete an image from the Album it will still be in the library. If you delete an image from the library it is deleted from iPhoto's database (the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder) and your hard drive ONLY after you empty iPhoto's trash. (unless you have it backed up somewhere else)
--You have a folder of images on your hard drive and want to import them into iPhoto. Drag the folder of images into an open iPhoto Library window and the folder of photos will be copied into the library, resulting in a new roll with the name of the folder. You now have two copies of those photos, the ones in iPhoto's database and the ones on your desktop. You can keep the ones on your desktop that you just imported as backup or you can delete that folder. You can also drag a folder of photos into an empty space in the source column and a new roll and album will be created at the smae time for those images in the folder. The album will have the same name as the folder you dragged into the source column.
-- you scan a picture/pictures and save it in a folder. You cannot scan directly into iPhoto or the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder.
You want all your photos in iPhoto so you import them into iPhoto.
Now you have two copies of that picture/pictures, so you can delete the originals that were in the scanned folder and keep the one/ones that were imported into iPhoto.
-- You download pictures from your camera into iPhoto.
There is now one copy of each of the pictures. (DO NOT HAVE IPHOTO DELETE THE IMAGES FROM YOUR CAMERA! DELETE THEM MANUALLY WITH THE CAMERA-if something goes wrong with the import and they are never imported and then they are deleted from the camera you might end up losing those images)
--You want to change something about a picture you imported, such as
cropping it or changing the size, or changing the orientation.
Once you do that to a picture, you now have two copies of the picture
in iPhoto, the original and the edited one. The edited one will be in the library organize view. The original is packed away in an Original folder in your iPhoto Library folder under the date of the roll. You can always revert to the original by control clicking on the photo and choose "revert to orginal" You will not have this choice if you used iPhoto Diet to get rid of the Originals.
(a quick note on cropping within iPhoto...when you are in edit mode, you automatically will be in the crop mode with cross hairs to highlight the crop area. To finish cropping you must click the crop button and then go back to library view and your cropped picture will be there.
--You want to use Photoshop or another graphic program to edit a picture in your iPhoto library.
You can open up prefs for iPhoto and choose
For iPhoto 5--"when double clicking on
photo" ..do" choose "other" and select Photoshop. Now you can edit all
pictures in your iPhoto library in PhotoShop by double clicking. If you save the photo with the same name and as a flattened file it will be saved right into iPhoto and you will see the changes. If you don't want to save it into iPhoto then do a "save as" and save to the desktop. You will then have the original photo still in iPhoto and your new edited photo on the desktop.
For iPhoto 6 (from the Apple Help Menu)-Have you ever used PS as the external editor set up within iPhoto Prefs?
From the iPhoto Help menu;
"Choosing what happens when you click the Edit button
When you want to edit a photo, you can have the photo open in iPhoto's edit view, in a separate window, in full-screen view, or in another application.
To choose a preference:
Choose iPhoto > Preferences.
Click General at the top of the Preferences window.
Under Edit Photo, select one of the following options:
"In main window" opens the photo in the main viewing area.
"In separate window" opens the photo in a separate window.
"Using full screen" opens the photo in full-screen view.
"In application" opens the photo in another application you choose.
To open a photo in its own window when "Main window" is selected, press the Option key when double-clicking the photo.
To open a photo in edit view when "Separate window" is selected, press the Option key when double-clicking the photo.
Note: Any video clip you imported into iPhoto will always open in QuickTime Player when you double-click it."
And...
"Editing photos in another application
You can do many editing tasks in iPhoto, such as rotating and cropping a photo, changing a color photo to black and white, adjusting exposure and contrast, and reducing red-eye. If you want to make other changes to a photo, you can open it in another image-editing application, such as Adobe Photoshop.
To edit photos in another application:
Set your preferences to open photos in another application when you double-click them or click the Edit button. (See Related Topics below.)
Double-click the photo to open it in the application.
Edit the photo and save it using the same name and file format.
The changes you made to the photo will be visible when you return to iPhoto.
IMPORTANT: When you double-click a RAW-format photo, iPhoto creates a copy of the photo in JPEG format, which opens in the other application. To edit the photo in its original RAW format, drag the photo from the iPhoto window to the Finder, and then use the other application to open it. (If you previously used iPhoto to edit the RAW photo, select the photo and choose Photos > Revert to Original before dragging it to the Finder. This way, you can edit the photo using its RAW data in the other application.) If you want to import the photo back into iPhoto, you must first save it as a JPEG or TIFF file."
--Or, with iPhoto open, you can drag a picture from the library window
to your desktop (you see a + sign on the pic you are dragging). You now
have two of the same picture, one in the iPhoto library and one on your desktop. You can open up the one on your desktop in any graphic program and work on it. The one in iPhoto stays the same. You can also share/export the picture/pictures to your desktop or folder to work on them or do batch processing, etc. You will still have the originals in your iPhoto Library.
--Or, you can open up the ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/folders and option drag any
picture out of the folder to your desktop. Notice that you will see a plus sign while dragging the photo. This is copying the file to your desktop
I would advise anyone not to do this as they might forget to use the option key and drag the photo out. Next time you open iPhoto the photo will be missing.
-The one option you will not find within iPhoto is to resize photos. iPhoto wants you to keep all full size images within iPhoto to give you the best size for printing or using for other applications. You can however go to Share>export (for iPhoto 5) or File>export (for iPhoto 6) and choose the naming scheme, input the dimensions and export to the desktop to use for uploading to a web space or emailing.
--to email a photo set up your email client in iPhoto Preferences. Once done, just select a photo/photos and hit the email icon in the toolbar.
If you use a web based email, then you need to export the photo to the desktop and upload it from there.

Why do I have 3 iPhoto Library folders?

I have three iPhoto Library folders named iPhoto Library, iPhoto Library (original) and iPhoto Library (original) 2. Can I delete the two "original" folders and keep all current photos? Based upon the date, they appear to be old folders from previous upgrades and no longer useful - "original" is from 2010 and the "original 2" is from February 2012. I need more space on my hard drive - help!

Depress the option key, launch iPhoto and use the select library command to look at each library. Any that you as sure you do not want can be deleted

Multiple iPhoto Library folders

Problem with iPhoto recently. I noticed that I have multiple(5) iPhoto library folders. When I opened iPhoto it defaulted to a different set of pictures that had been there for years. All of my faces are gone an a new set of events show up. Can I combine or import these other folders to iPhoto to restore them?

The only way to merge Libraries - and so preserve all the versions, metadata and so on - is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager

Just downloaded trial version -- don't see iPhoto library in Aperture and need to import selected photos-not entire library!

I just downloaded trial version -- don't see iPhoto library in Aperture and need to import selected photos to edit, not entire i Photo library! I read manual and it says:
Browsing and Selecting Images in Your iPhoto Library
You use the Aperture iPhoto Browser to review iPhoto images and import specific images into the Aperture library. The iPhoto Browser gives you a handy way of looking for certain images without having to import your entire iPhoto library.
So, where do I review the iPhoto images...there is nothing in there that says "iPhoto Library" Everything I see pertains to Aperture Library which of course is empty since I haven't imported (or dragged) any photos in there yet.
Also is tech support available for Aperture? I have Apple Extended Support and I sure would love it if I had individual help. I have a deadline --3 days to edit 300 photos and I'm a complete amateur. iPhoto doesn't have the capability to erase parts of a face (I need to contour the neck of a mannequin to make it proportionate to the separate head I put on top of it. I'm sure Aperture must have a tool to help me do that! At least I hope so.

where do I review the iPhoto images
File -> Import -> Show iPhoto Browser

if I decide to import entire iPhoto library into Aperture will it delete my iPhoto library?

Why can't i see Iphoto Library as normal folders in finder as Microsoft Windows?

I've been having troubles with this for a long time.
In Microsoft Windows, you don't have any original program as Iphoto, so you have all your transfered photos in folders on "my computer".
In Mac, however, you have Iphoto, and every time you sync your Iphone and transfer your photos to Iphoto, you only have acces to the original files you transfered by opening Iphoto and revealing the original files in Finder (command + shift + R).
That's the way i found to manage my original files. I don't like it though.
I want to know if there is any possible way you can manage/have access to your Iphoto Library simply by opening Finder, and not only in Iphoto.
If i wasn't clear, let me try to suggest you to see it by yourself: Open Finder and search the original file of a picture you have on Iphoto. Normally, you don't find it. So you have to open Iphoto, click on the picture you want to use, reveal it in Finder and then do whatever you need with it.
The problem is that this picture was already in Iphoto Library, which is visible in Finder, but there is no way you can open the Iphoto Library without being redirected to Iphoto.
Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.
Thanks a lot!
Matheus.

In your pictures folder of your user directory, there will be a file called iPhoto Library. Control-click on it and show the contents. All of your pictures will be inside of there. HOWEVER, i you edit, delete, rename, etc... any photos from that folder, you can corrupt your iPhoto Library.

Applications and iPhoto Library folders not in backup

My iMac G5 disk failed some time ago and was replaced by a new drive. I had been doing system backups via TM so was not concerned about being able to rebuild the system. However, when the new drive was initialized, I made the mistake of specifying a different account name from the original and doing a clean rebuild from the Leopard DVD. This resulted in not being able to access the TM backups but I got around the problem by creating a new account matching the original.
I was able to retrieve most files from the backup this way, but cannot see any backups of either the Applications folder or the iPhoto library in TM. I have gone back to look at all the old versions but still cannot see either of these folders. It's possible that I had excluded these folders from the backups, but I don't usually do silly things like that. My question is: can I go back through the old backups and examine the TM Prefs in use at the time to see if I had (stupidly) excluded those folders?
I've looked in the System folder and all I can see is a file in System>Library>PreferencePanes>TimeMachine.prefPane which I cannot figure out how to view.
Thanks for any help/ideas.

travellerva wrote:
Many thanks - problem solved (or at least, diagnosed). I had been looking for that same file and could not find it at first. Now I looked again and found it ok. The TM prefs show that I had, for some reason, excluded both the Applications and iPhoto folders from the backup list. Mea culpa.
I think I had excluded them from the first TM backup in the interests of space saving (I had copied the iPhoto folder to a different volume - later deleted!). Then I made the mistake of not changing the exclusion list when I needed to. It's probably a good idea to visit these prefs regularly to make sure they are what you want and not just left there by forgetfulness.
And also to double-check what's actually getting backed-up after you change them; on occasion the plist gets corrupted and doesn't get changed to agree with what you did. There's either no message, or folks don't see or understand it.
Glad you were able to recover -- most folks aren't.
It's an excellent strategy to have another set of backups of important stuff, and even better, to have it off-site, so you're also protected against fire, flood, theft, direct lightning strike, etc. For most of us, things like photos can be archived to CD/DVD occasionally, and taken to a safe deposit box, relative's house, workplace, etc. Others use a portable external disk, some do some backups via the net.

IPhoto Library folders: how are they organized?

Can anyone explain me how the iPhoto Library "block" is organized? I mean, photos and folders in iPhoto Library in Finder. Are they organized by year or by date of import? In particular, I have a mysterious "1904" folder that has photos of 2006 and they're not on the 2006 folder! I've tried to modify the original date and hour but it hasn't worked, they're still in this "1904" folder! How can I modify this?

? I mean, photos and folders in iPhoto Library in Finder. Are they organized by year or by date of import? I
It should not matter to you, since the folders inside the iPhoto Library are not meant for access by the user.
But to answer your question. iPhoto stores the original image files in folders corresponding to the date of the import session, and they will stay there, whatever you do in iPhoto. You cannot control the way iPhoto stores the photos inside the package.
Access the photos using iPhoto's application window or the Media Browser. It is safer.
If you open the library package you might accidentally move or modify the files.

Small fear i've lost everything. in Finder i see iPhoto Library (original)

So... last night I went to try and recover some photos specifically from an old Time Machine backup. I discovered (and remembered) that they seem to be saved in entire libraries, not individual files/folders from which I can pull certain photos. (Correct, so far?)
I went back to a November backup when in Time Machine, clicked on the iPhoto library, and clicked restore. Turns out I didn't have enough HD space. So I thought I just stopped and left things as they were. However, this morning, I went to open up iPhoto and low and behold there's NO photos there.
Sidenote - I'm a photographer, I can't lose this!
I then looked at Finder and see that I DO have two iPhoto libraries, one titled "iPhoto library" (48.3 MB) and the other "iPhoto library (original)" (35.96 GB).
Could someone please help put me at rest and let me know how to access that "original" library. I clicked on it from the Finder and the "current" one is what appears. So now, forgive me, but I'm just a bit afraid to try anything else.
Regarding backups I think I've learned my lesson and will export the original photos to folders on an external drive, rather than just doing the Time Machine backups.
THANKS in advance!

Do you think my original idea of exporting the files individually is a good one, or the backups would do just that? Just looking for other thoughts...
I think the key to backing up is redundancy:
My Library lives on my iMac.
It’s Backed up to two external hard disks every day. These disks are permanently attached to the iMac. These back ups run automatically. One is done by Time Machine, one is a bootable back up done by SuperDuper
It’s also backed up to a portable hard disk when ever new photos are added. This hard disk lives in my car. For security, this disk is password protected. For this job I use DejaVu because it makes a simple back up that is clear and can be tested easily without doing an full restore.
I have a second off-site back up at a relative’s house across town. That’s updated every 3 or 4 months.
My Photos are backed up online. Personally I use SmugMug but there are many options including flickr. However, check the terms of your account carefully. While most sites have free uploading, you will often find that these uploads are limited in terms of the file size, or the bandwidth you can use per month. For access that allows you to upload full size pics with no restrictions you will need to pay.
Every couple of months I test the back ups to make sure they are working correctly. It’s very easy to mis-configure a back up application, and the only way to protect against that is to do a restore.
an I now delete "iPhoto library" from my Finder, as it hopefully would always use "iPhoto library (original)" from now on? I'm thinking after I delete it, I can rename the "original" one to just "iPhoto library."
Yes and Yes.
If you're only recovering particular photos, try the iPhoto: File Menu -> Browse back Ups

IPhoto won't select iPhoto Library

I upgraded to the newest iPhoto. No problems. My iPhoto Library is very big, about 50 gigs, so I keep it on a NAS. I opened iPhoto once, and it wouldn't open my iPhoto library because my NAS share wasn't mounted. OK, so I quit iPhoto, mounted the network share, and then opened it again. It didn't see my iPhoto Library so I opened it while holding the option key, and went to manually select my library. However, the library is greyed out. It won't let me select it.
How could this of happened? How can I get my photos back and get iPhoto to see the library it had been using for weeks before?

New iMac won't open iPhoto library

I copied the iPhoto library from my MacBook Pro to my new iMac. I was running iPhoto 9 on the MBP. When I double-clicked the copied iPhoto library on my iMac, iPhoto opened and said it would have to update the library and I clicked ok. Nothing happened. I waited a long while and closed iPhoto. When I reopened it it was empty. Now when I click the library icon it opens iPhoto but nothing at all happens, not even a dialog about updating.
Also, the library is not visible in Finder but I know it's there because I can see it with Pathfinder.

Macbook pro iphoto 6.0.2 won't recognize iphoto library (backup from DVD)

Just purchased a Macbook Pro with iphoto 6.0.2. Had a G4 powerbook with iphoto 4.0.2 and backed up that iphoto library to 2 DVD's. I loaded the photos and albums from the 2 DVDs to the iphoto library on the macbook. when I launch the iphoto 6.0.2 it does not load any photos and states there are no photos.
Is this an issue of the DVD back up being made under iphoto 4.0.2? Is there another way to back them up if it is....any help would be appreciated....thanks in advance...-D

Hi kaiman,
I have all the advise in one post here (including Old toad's)so as not to confuse you.
Backing up your iPhoto Library
1. Burn the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder to a CD or DVD
This method will give you a burned iPhoto Library folder that can be copied back to your computer to replace a damaged library. You can also use this method to backup an old library when you want to create a new Library to use as your current library.
insert a blank CD into your internal or external CD-RW drive and copy the iPhoto library to the CD icon on your desktop. When you drag the CD icon to the Trash/Eject button in the Dock, you are given the option to burn the CD. Click Burn and the CD is created. To burn a DVD backup of your digital images, use a DVD and a SuperDrive-equipped Mac
The easiest way to burn an iPhoto Library folder in the Finder that is larger than 4.7 gig to fit on one DVD is to burn sections of the folder.
For an iPhoto 5 Library:
Drag the iPhoto Library folder to the desktop
Double click the folder to open it.
Drag each Year folder to the desktop.
You should be left with the iPhoto Library folder containing all the data files, and the Year folders.
Combine whatever year folders that amount closest to a DVD burn size on one DVD. Make sure that you have burned all the Year folders, then the iPhoto Library folder with all the data files.
If you ever need to use this backup, insert the DVDs into your computer and copy the folders to the desktop. Put all the Year folders back into the iPhoto Library folder. Then put the iPhoto Library folder back into the Pictures folder.
For an iPhoto 6 Library:
Do almost the same thing except there are three main folders to backup now. the Data, Originals, and Modified. Then the iPhoto Library folder and all the data files within it. It might get too confusing so it might be better to get disc spanning software.
You can also check out applications for disc spanning:
Disc-spanning software
DropDMG
Toast
Dragon Burn 4
Retrospect Express-comes with some external drives
Retrospect for Macintosh Desktop Edition
2. Copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library to an external drive formated for a Mac. Do not use this as your only back up as the external can also go bad.
3. Copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library to your iPod in disk mode
4.Creating your own CDs and DVDs for viewing in iPhoto
This method is a great way to back up Albums of older photos or even your entire library if it is small enough to fit on a DVD. This method will give you a library that will mount within iPhoto in the source column to be viewed. To import any images from this library they need to be dragged into your library in the source column.
If you just want to backup the images in your library:
1) Within iPhoto select the images, albums or rolls you want to backup. Go to Share>Export and export them to a newly created folder on the desktop. Follow the directions in the next link.
Creating a CD or DVD to be viewed in Windows or by a photo processing company
1.. If you backed up the entire iPhoto Library by burning within iPhoto or burning the folder in the Finder, make sure the burned copy is a good working copy before you delete the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder. You delete the iPhoto Library in the finder by dragging it to the trash when iPhoto is closed. When you next launch iPhoto it will create a new empty library for you to start anew.
2. If you burned just the images, be aware that that is all you are archiving. No metadata will travel with the images such as comments, keywords, etc.
You can then delete those images within iPhoto by highlighting them and hitting the delete key, then empty iPhoto's trash. Do this often and in groups so iPhoto will not choke on too many images.
And here is the info for transferring a library from one Mac to another:
Copy iPhoto Library folder from one Mac to another
-If the library is small enough, burn the ENTIRE iPhoto Library folder to CD/DVD.
Drag the iPhoto Library folder from the CD/DVD to your Pictures folder of the iMac.
-If the computers are networked, copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder of the other Mac.
-If you have an iPod, copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library folder to the iPod. Connect the iPod to the other computer and copy the iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder of the other Mac.
-If you have a firewire cable, copy the ENTIRE iPhoto LIbrary folder to the Pictures folder of the other Mac
Things to keep in mind:
-If the usersnames are different you might have to set the permissions on the iPhoto Library folder to Read/Write for the new user. Check the "apply to enclosed items" at the bottom of the "get info" window.
-If there is another iPhoto Library folder on the other Mac, change it's name so it doesn't get replaced by the iPhoto Library folder you are copying into the Pictures folder...or....drag it to another place on your hard drive.
Now that the library is in the Pictures folder, launch iPhoto and it will open the library. If the library you moved to the new Mac was created on an older version of iPhoto, iPhoto will tell you the library needs to be upgraded. Let iPhoto do the upgrade.

HELP! iTunes won't sync iPhoto Library to iPhone 6

PLEASE HELP!! I know this has been covered to some degree in other threads, but I haven't been able to solve this. My iTunes will not sync my iPhoto Library wih my iPhone 6.
Basically, I bought a new iPhone 6, which was restored from backup. I was never an avid user of iPhoto in the past and because most of my photos come from a different camera and most of my pictures have been compiled through time, I never really saw the point in filling up my measly 16gb iPhone 4s with a bunch of pictures. So I never really synced my photos in the past.
Now that I have a 128GB iPhone 6 I figured I could start sycing my pics and share them or whatever. I'd like to able to sync to my iPhoto Library via iTunes to my iPhone.
So this is what happens. I can see my photos fine on iPhoto. When I connect my iPhone, only iPhoto launches and it 'll download any recent pics.
When I launch iTunes, it'll detect my phone - BUT when I go to the Photos tab, when trying to sync to my iPhoto Library, the ONLY option I am given is to sync to "PICTURES" folder which contains my 'desktop pictures' folder with only 40 some pics... BUT IT ALSO HAS MY IPHOTO LIBRARY WHICH ITUNES WILL NOT PICKUP ON???
Am I missing something?? thanks everybody in advance for helping me.

When I go through Media... It shows me iPhoto and Photo Booth icon but prompts me to open iPhoto to see the photos... even though as you can see from the window in the background iPhoto is open....
And thanks very much for taking the time to help btw...

Mail won't see iPhoto Library folders
