My pictures can't be found.

While I am posting an ad on Craigslist, I can not find any pictures.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

The alias "pictures" can't be found?

I hope I am in the right forum for this question.
When I am in finder and I click on pictures a box comes up and says...
"The alias "Pictures" could no be opened, because the original item cannot be found". It has a yellow triangle with an exclamation point.
Not sure if I deleted something by mistake?? Any help would be appreciated.
My software is 10.3.9
Thanks, Beth

Hi Again Beth!
If I'm understanding, the Alias is in your Sidebar.
-Open your Home Folder.
-Position the cursor on the Pictures alias that isn't working.
-Hold the mouse down, and pull the alias off of the Sidebar. It will disappear with a Poof!
-Now position the cursor on the Pictures icon, that is inside the Home Folder, hold down on the mouse, and drag it to the position in the Sidebar, where you want it.
Does that one open the Pictures folder?

HT201302 When I am trying to import pictures from my iphone to PC, I get the message'No new pictures of videos were found on this device'. There are lots of pictures which i can see on the iphone. I have a 4S. Is there a way to get around that?

It sounds like you are using an application to import. You can do it manually.
Start > Computer (on the right) > scroll to the bottom and you will see your iPhone under Portable Devices > Open it and you will see a Drive, open that and there will be a DCIM folder. That is where your photos will be (There may be other folders each holding photos).

I have just upgraded to Lightroom 5 and my pictures that were from an later version came over but read on each picture "File can not be found"

I have just upgraded to Lightroom 5 and my pictures that were from an later version came over but read on each picture "File can not be found"

This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks. It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgradeto iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
Note 1: every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
Note 2: If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1

After upgrading to Lion, my Canon 7d can not be found.

After upgrading to Lion, my Canon 7d can not be found. I have used the USB connection to connect to my camera for several years with no problems, until now. I have reset the SMC, by powering off the computer and unplugging everything for approx 30 minutes. There are no new drivers available and any assistance will be appreciated.

I was having the same issue after upgrading to Lion OSX. I searched the web and found many people had the same problem but no solution so...
I called Canon and they told me to run 'Image Capture' its part of the Canon Software Suite so you should have it and then try downloading the pictures like you usually do. I use 'Image Browser' and with 'Image Capture' running in the background it works perfectly now.
Hope this helps!!

All pictures say file not found..

all my pictures say File Not Found. I cant edit any at all.. what do i do at this point?

Don't import again yet, it is usually the last thing to do as you will lose many settings and work you have done already.
Can you tell us your OS please and Lightroom version...
Also please upload a screen shot like this:

Problem! I just copied my extern hdd to finder and tried to open my files when I get the message: "The Map "Pictures" can not be opened since you don´t have authority to see it´s contents! What??? No one else has access to my computer....

Problem! I just copied my extern hdd to finder and tried to open my files when I get the message: "The Map ”Pictures” can not be opened since you don´t have authority to see it´s contents! What??? No one else has access to my computer....now I can´t open my 300 Gb on my hdd in my Macbook Pro. Help?

I've had this happen a few times before. What I found works is repairing the permissions. To do so click on go and then to utilities. click disk utilities. In disk utilities select the drive and click repair permissions. It may take a little time but try accessing after that.

Please help! iMac iPhoto 'can't be found'?

I'm going to the Genius Bar tonight in order to ask for more help, but if anyone can give any answers now that would be great. My mom recently bought a G-Drive in order to save files from our iMac. She backed up some files, but then she tried to open up a new program and the iMac went blank. We've got it back running now, but she didn't back up the iTunes or iPhoto files from our computer, both have LOTS of music and photos. Whether we start the computer in Safe Mode or not, the iTunes is still all there (25 GB of it), but when we try to open iPhoto, it says that our library can't be found. It has the option to search for a library, and some miscellaneous pictures are still there (not form iPhoto, though). Is there any way that this can be recovered?

Is the application somewhere? Only you can know that.
You can always reinstall it -
reinstall iPhoto - go to your receipts folder ("Your hard drive" ==> library ==> receipts) and remove any iPhoto receipts and reinstall from the restore disks that came with your computer - do a custom install of bundled software only

Volume can not be found WHY THE HECK NOT??

Hi
ok I have 26000 photos in iphoto so I have a litte bit of an idea how to do it...
but why is it doing this now?
-this is my workflow I insert my card in the reader
-copy them to my external HD
iphoto is only a reference library ( have copy unchecked )
-I go into iphoto/file/import to library/external HD/pictures/then the file with my photos I want to reference
-preparing to import
-VOLUME CAN NOT BE FOUND. Insert the disk or connect to the server volume and wait for it to appear on the desktop, then try again.
WHY WOULD IT DO THIS OUT OF THE BLUE??? HELP
THANKS

This sometimes occurs if you’re importing a file into iPhoto and there’s already a file there with the same name. Digital cameras can produce many, many files with the same name over their lifetime, so it’s not uncommon to have several files called IMG_00543.JPG, for instance. Now you want to import one also called this.
What happens is that iPhoto compares the two files to check for duplicates. However, if iPhoto cannot find the file already in the database for comparison, then you get this message. It suggests that your database is damaged because iPhoto has lost track of this (or these) similarly named files.
A simple test is to rename the file you are importing - just add a character - IMG_00543a.JPG for instance. If this then imports with no issue then you might consider rebuilding your library:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I'm not really sure but I think yes. Blocking a contact will only prevent them from contacting you or sending you contact request. The visibility of your account information depends on how you set it, if you had them visible to public or to your contacts only.

HT2729 Error: The Ipod cannot be synced. The required filed can not be found.

I am trying to sync my Ipod Nano. It is giving me an Error: The Ipod can not by synced. The required filed can not be found.

Does this article help

the ipod pictur cache is found here on Windows
When you sync pictures to the iPod, your actual pix are not what gets loaded. A copy of the photo is created in a size and format that it knows will display well on the iPod. ( the format is "ithmb"?). These converted pix are stored in the iPod Photo Cache folder, and uploaded from there. Every folder you select to sync photos from will have an iPod Photo Cache folder at its top level.
Files are kept there indefinitely, to save conversion time if you ever need them again. But those cache folders can really grow...if you know that you're never again going to need a bunch of photos on your iPod, you can delete the iPod Photo Cache folder from their parent folder. If you delete a cache folder that contains photos that are on your iPod, the cache will be rebuilt (provided the original files still exist).

I recently tried to burn some photos to a disc. It did not work, but then I ended up with a .fpbf folder on my desktop. Can't trash it, and when trying to burn again, I get this "... can't be burned because the original items can't be found". Help???

I recently tried to burn some photos on a CD. For some reason, It did not work. Now I have a .fpbf folder on my desktop. I can't seem to get rid of it. I tried dragging it to the trash, but then I get a box asking my to type my password it, so Finder can make the changes. Doing so, does nothing at all. And when I try to burn another CD from the same .fpbf file, I get a the following message: "There are 35 items that can’t be burned because the original items can’t be found. Skip the items and continue burning?". When I skip and continue burning, nothing shows up on the CD. In the meantime, the .fpbf folder is still in my desktop. I tried changing the aliases on each pic, but it still doesn't work. Any ideas of how I can remove this folder from my desktop?
Thank you.

Beavis2084,
Thank you for your detailed explanation but something is seriously wrong with my computer. Although the method you have described is very similar to the one I tried in step 2 from my second post, I have since "done things" which may have complicated matters—or suggests that my computer has a more serious problem.
Here's what I did:
1). Installed Onyx and discovered that I had a .plist file (com.apple.iphotomosaic.plist) that was causing a Syntax error: "Conversion of data failed. The file is not UTF-8, or in the encoding specified in XML header, if XML." After doing some research online, I was given the understanding that downloading the iLife update 9.0.3 (I installed the more recent version, 9.0.4) would solve this problem because it would also fix some system issues. So, I downloaded it...and when it didn't solve the problem, I decided to just deleted that .plist file.
2). I read your knew post and decided to follow your directions, even though I realized they were basically the same steps I followed in the 2nd method I mentioned earlier. I say "basically" because, for some reason, after inserting a blank disc, my computer does not open the disc in the Finder. Instead, it places the blank disc's image on the Desktop, even though the Finder's Preferences and the System's Preferences are set to have it open in the Finder—nothing should be on my Desktop! (Note: When transferring the items (all folders) I want to burn to the blank disc, I did not use the Option-Click-Drag method as before, I used the Click-Drag method, which created the curved arrow in the lower left corner of each item.)
Now, for the result of "method 2," the method we basically have in common, the computer goes through the burn stage but, in the verify stage, tells me that it is unable to verify the disk, suggests that my DVD may be unreliable and that I should try another disc, and then tells me about some "fork" (?) error (-43).
I don't know what to do anymore...

The operation can't be completed because one or more required items can't be found. (Error code -43)

When I attempt to add files to...or copy to the desktop of my mac, my icloud (idisk ..the blue icon on my desktop) is giving this error:
The operation can’t be completed because one or more required items can’t be found.
(Error code -43)
I've been searching for info on that error code, but I'm not find anything on (many different error codes, but not -43).

I get an error -36.
I did the dot_clean in the terminal.
Did not fix it.

IPhone: Required Disc Can't be Found

Now it can't sync music because the "required disc can't be found" Is this part of the new itunes version? It always synced ok before. Where can I find the required disc??

Just to complete the thread... I had the iPhone connected to a USB hub and apparently iTunes and the iPhone were not making the connection. I moved the USB plug to the computer and everythings back to normal... The 'required disc' must have been the iPhone searching for the hard drive on the G5.

My pictures can't be found.
