Mysterious photo in Account ID

How can I find the path to the photo assigned to my account id?
I can't seem to find it in any of my photo files.
I'm not sure how it got assigned to the account, I was playing around with photobooth the other day and when one of the photos mysteriously started appearing on my email and I discovered it had been assigned to the account. I know how to change the image at the account level if I want to assign something else instead, but the trouble is I like the photo and I'd like to use it for other things but it isn't appearing in the photobooth or picture folders. Any ideas?

It must be frustrating trying to locate it without knowing where to look!
If all you want is to be able to use that file for other things, just open your Mail program so that the picture is showing, and then press command-shift-4. Use the crosshair to draw a box around the image. A copy of it will be saved on your desktop.

Photo stream account questions

good day all!
hoping to get some advice as i searched the web and cant find it.
both questions pertain to photo stream
1. if i am using a 'shared photo stream' is there a setting that will allow me to automatically upload every photo i take on my iphone 4s to the shared photo stream. if such what is the method.
2. is it possible to have more than one photo stream account on the same computer. i know i downloaded icloud on my computer but it didnt tell me if it was possible to have more than one photo stream account. i noticed i could sign out of icloud and assume sign in with a different account but how would it seperate both and what would happen to the first photo stream account when i logged off the computer.
thanks for answering!

but my old mobile me settings
Make sure you are using the correct Apple ID user name and password.
On your MBAir, open System Preferences > iCloud. Deselect the box next to Photo Stream then reselect the box then restart your Mac.
On your iOS devices tap Settings > iCloud. Switch Photo Stream off then back on, then reset.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Can I have more than one photo stream account?

I currently have a Photo Stream account using my old email address. Before I delete this account, is it possible to have two accounts, one using my old email address, one using my new email address?
Thanks in advance!

It won't add them to the same group, it will create another group and you will be able to choose to view by a specific calendar(s) or all calendars. If you display all (or more than one) of your calendars (as I do in the image below), events are denoted by different colours.

Hi there, I pay for extra iCloud space online. However I cannot seem to find any of my photos or account? As my iPod/iPhone only hold 1000 pictures, where are the previous pictures? And how can I access them?

You cannot use iCloud Storage to suppliment your iPad. They are mainly used to backup iPad.

Sharing photos across accounts on the same Mac

Hi
Is there any way to import photos into my account that have been loaded my daughter into her own account. Both using the same Mac. I know about sharing but this seems to require her to have logged on so that I can see the library. I seem to remember that windows allows for an automatic search of recently loaded photos and imports them automatically if required. Anything like that for Iphoto?
thanks
Norrie

For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
What you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
(You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

Moving photos between accounts??

I have an account for everyone, then a user account for work. How do I move some pics from my everything account to my iPhoto library in my work account? Help please!

If, as administrator, you can see the two libraries via the Finder then you can use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to copy selected albums or rolls from Library A into Library B while maintaining the keywords, commnets, ratings, etc. But you have to be able to have access to both with read and write permissons. One library would have to reside in the Public folder or the Sites folder for that account the other account to have access it.
Another way would be to put your primary iPhoto Library folder in the Shared folder on the Mac. Then when logged into your work account you'd have access to that library as well as the work library. Using iPLM in that situation would work well.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

Moving photos between accounts on the iMac.

Is there a way to share photos in each account of the iMac?

Double-click on your startup volume, usually called +Macintosh HD+, on the Desktop.
At the top level, there is a folder called Users. Double-click it.
This should show the home folders for all the user accounts on the Mac. There should be one other folder there, called Shared. Things you put in there are accessible from all the user accounts.

Where did the mysterious photos come from?

I've just been browsing my photos on iPhone 4S and noticed there are two photos that I dont remember I was taking (it's two weeks old so i would remember) and no one else was using my phone. The next strange thing is that one of the photos is 640x480 and I dont know if iPhone is even able to take photos in such bad quality.
Any idea how it could get there? It's kinda scary.

Well, mystery solved. I received this image by some anonymous WhatsApp user. Thanks

Where to Locate Initial Setup Photo Booth Account Picture

My wife accidentally selected a different Photo Booth picture and set it to our account picture. She is now very upset because the initial picture was one she really liked and it was from Christmas morning... Anyway, the picture is not present in /Pictures/Photo Booth. Anyone know where else this might be located?

I don't know if this will help but open Accounts in *System Preferences*. Now choose the account the picture was with. Click the current picture on the little down arrow that appears when you do a mouse over and a drop down window will appear. Choose *Edit Picture*. At the top of the box you will see a choice that says *Recent Pictures*. Click it and see if the picture is still available there.
I checked this out and it stores at least 18 pictures here. I have four different snapshots that show here that were taken while trying to get a good one. Still trying:->

Mysterious deletion of account

Having been using my appleId regularly over the last wee while, I went to load a new app yesterday to find my AppleId had been deleted. Not just made safe, but deleted - reason I know this is I was able to set up a new AppleId with the exact same details I had in the old account and as far as I understand it, that can't happen if the old ID has been 'put on hold'
I'd really welcome an explanation as to how this happened as I assume now that my purchase history has gone too so if any apps need reloading, I'll have to pay twice.
;(

Hi, Jmahone, and welcome to the Community,
Please accept my condolences for your recent loss.
While it will be helpful to review this FAQ article, lacking the sign-in details for the account, little can be done: 'Can I delete my Skype account?'
You will need to contact Skype Customer Service directly. Please understand you will be asked to provide certain verification documents in order to process the request.
Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
If you experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service, try again using a different web browser and choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented. Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also impede reaching an agent.

Organizer - Six Mystery photos

I have six pictures in the first folder of organizer that are duplicates of the next six. I cannot select the duplicates or get rid of them and it is causing six pictures to be displaced in each subsequent folder in organizer. These displaced pictures cannot be moved either. I have tied everything I can think of - any ideas?

This is not something I have encountered (I go back to Album 1) but a catalog repair was a logical starting point. Anything I say at this point is a guess (educated as I am a retired programmer but not for Adobe).
If I were encountering this problem I would try the following which are fairly low risk (I assume you have a current backup):
a)     Optimize. This might fix a bad link although I doubt it.
b)     Rebuild thumbnails. (same)
If problem persists then I would start a new catalog by importing folder by folder.
c)     Write tags to all photos to be sure you don't lose that info.
d)     Create a new catalog
e)     Eliminate watched folders (to avoid complications).
f)     Import folder by folder. Depending on how you organize the folders this might even be one step with subfolders handled automatically.
g)     The tags will be in the imported tax list and re-creating the categories and subcategories is straightforward.
The main problem is photos in the folders that you don't want in the catalog. I keep my folders pretty clean and for me this is easy.
Hopefully you will get better advice from Adobe, but at least this gives a backup plan.

Mail mysteriously duplicated all account and folder info

Booted machine this a.m. and mail application has duplicated account and folders and .mac has virtually nothing remaining. Any server issues?
What is the safest way to delete the duplicated acounts and folders without risking losing everything since the .mac account is now for the most part empty.
iMac 800 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Could you please elaborate? I'm having a hard time understanding (and believing) what you're saying.
How many accounts do you have and what type are they (POP, IMAP, .Mac)?
In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. With that folder open, do Edit > Select All (⌘A), then Edit > Copy (⌘C), and paste it in your reply to this post, to let me see the names of the files and folders present at the root level of the Mail folder.
Before actually posting that information, you may edit it so that the file/folder names do not reveal any details you wish to keep private, e.g. you may replace any real username with "username" if you wish; similarly, you may disguise any domain names you don't want to be revealed. Try to be consistent in how you disguise those details, though, as we may need to refer to them in subsequent posts.

Mystery photo is locked and prevents me from deleting iMovie project

I made a move with iMovie which included a photo that I didn't know was locked. Having transferred the iMovie to a DVD I moved the file to the main trash so as to free up space on my Mac. Before emptying main trash, I decided to delete a selection of the photos used in the iMovie in question. I managed to delete the photos no problem, or at least they are no longer in my trash so I presume they've been deleted. However, the iMovie cannot be deleted when I try and empty trash - I get a message telling me that a certain photo is locked and cannot be deleted, therefore the iMovie cannot be deleted. However, the photo in question is no longer in my iPhoto library so I have no way of finding the photo to unlock it and thus enable me to delete the photo/iMovie and empty my trash. My start up disk is nearly full so I really need to empty the trash to free up some space. Any ideas?

Thanks for responding you guys. Further scowering for clues in other discussion threads provided the answer thanks to "windowsbegone": GENIUS!! My problem is now solved. I followed "windowsbegone"'s instructions from another thread in the hope that it would help and it did. HURRAH!! Here's what they said:
"Find the movie file where the trash item that you want to recover are. Cntl-click the file. Choose "show package contents" Click on "Media". Find the clips that you want to recover."
Doing this showed me icons of the locked photo and I simply went into the info and unlocked them. Emptied the trash and they're gone. At last!
Thanks to everyone who took time to think about this - much appreciated.

Mysterious Photos want import

I have iPhoto 6.0.6 and am having an issue upon opening the application. I recently imported some photos off my Canon A530 and now when I launch iPhoto it says "49 photos were found in the iPhoto Library that were not imported. Would you like to import them?"
If I select YES, it begins to import them but crashes halfway and I have to force quit the app. If I select NO the library loads normally and the photos it says haven't been imported are there in the library.
Something is obviously not right. Where are these photos and how can I stop this annoying message every time I launch iPhoto. I need to get this straight b/f installing iLife 08'.

Nano,
Use the Finder to look just inside your iPhoto Library folder. If you see a folder called "Importing" or "Import" then drag it out to your Desktop. Launch iPhoto and see if those photos are still in the library. If the Importing folder contains anything you need then you can import into iPhoto.
If you don't find an Importing folder then don't worry - it shouldn't be in there. Be careful when looking in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder. Don't make any changes to the items in there or you can damage the library.
It might also help before upgrading to do a database rebuild. Hold Command and Option while launching iPhoto. Select all 4 options in the dialog, then rebuild. For more info about the rebuild, read this Apple article.
Regards.
