Photos Folder Disappeared Along with iPhoto

Tonight I plugged my iPhone to sync and discovered not only was my iPhoto library wiped out but the main Photos folder I had created awhile back is completely missing.
I've searched the internet and discussion topics and have yet to find a solution for when you can't find the originals from the Home folder.
I don't know if it has anything to do with it but it appears I went from iPhoto 6 to iPhoto 8...though I don't know how that's even possible without me knowing.
I know this is probably completely strange but that's why I'm so baffled. I REALLY need to get this folder back and could use ANY suggestions...

HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. Then on the right open the Pictures folder. See if you can access your iPhoto library there.
If you can't find it that way, choose a photo, right or control click an image then choose "Show in Finder".
FYI. iPhoto 08 system requirements are: A Mac computer with an Intel processor, a Power Mac G5 (dual 2.0 GHz or faster), or an iMac G5 (1.9 GHz or faster)
So you can't be running iPhoto 08 on a PowerBookG4 PowerPC.
As soon as you can access your iPhoto library, backup all the images to an external source.

  • TS2634 iPad 2 utilities folder disappeared along with all apps within.  Any suggestions?

    The utilities folder and all the apps within, such as calculator, disappeared from my iPad 2.  I've tried restore, which did not help.  I tried to contact Apple's worthless technical support, also did not help.  Any suggestions?

    There isn't a built-in Calculator app, nor Weather nor Stocks on the iPad - they are only on iPhones and iPod Touches

  • I have an old MacBook Pro, which just upgraded to OS X 10.10.3...in the process iPhoto disappeared, along with all my photos! I'm shocked, and have no idea what to do (furthest thing from a techie). Help??

    I have an old MacBook Pro, which just upgraded to OS X 10.10.3...in the process iPhoto disappeared, along with all my photos! I'm shocked, and have no idea what to do (I'm the furthest thing from tech). Did the photos go into iCloud? I have a photos icon now in the place of iPhoto, but no photos! Any suggestions or help?

    Niel, thank you! Can't get iPhotos, but found my photos after clicking "photos" in the new app, after your suggestion. (option, click). Whew! I panicked, and appreciate your help. I'm going to miss my old iPhoto!

  • Please, help! After upgrading to Yosemite, my dock has disappeared, along with the dashboard and the wallpaper! Can anyone help? I'm using a MacBook Pro, retina, bought it last year.

    Have you been trying to download from the app store? Did you get a message?
    As a suggestion, you might go to an Apple store (genius bar appointment) for help. As far as I know, there should be no charge.

  • This morning my reading list seems to have disappeared along with my bookmarks and the ability to add anything.

    My iPad reading list and bookmarks have disappeared along with the ability to access or add to them.

    1. Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo

  • FINDER disappears, along with desktop icons, when I plug in external drive

    Hello, All:
    FINDER disappears, along with desktop icons, when I plug in an external memory card from my Nikon camera. This also happens regardless of which USB port I plug it in to. It didn't happen when I installed Leopard two weeks ago, but happens all the time now.
    Interestingly, the desktop icons (hard drives and files) DO show up when I open any software program and try to open up a file. The hard drives and files show up in the Open File windows.
    Thank you,
    Jon

    THANK YOU! I've been having the same problem, and the solution you linked to worked perfectly for me. Somehow, my computer's sharing name had been deleted. Once I put that back in the file sharing preference I was able to reconnect my external drive without all Hades breaking loose.
    This problem came on the heels of an aborted attempt to use a new Time Capsule (not ready for prime time) which I had to drive 50 miles to take back and replace with a new WD My Book -and I was afraid I was going to have to repeat the trip to take it back as well.

  • IPhoto Photos folder disappeared from sidebar

    I've loved being able to upload photos from iPhoto using a Photos folder that was in my finder window sidebar. The photo sync hadn't updated for over a day, so I went into the iCloud settings, unselected Photos, then selected it again, as directed in a post I found somewhere. This actually worked and photo sync updated, but now the Photos folder is completely missing from my sidebar!!!
    I have conducted several searches, and found the iPhoto Library, but photos are buried in multiple layers of folder hierarchies. It's just not as user friendly as the folder previously available, where it essentially just showed the photo stream.
    Can anyone help me regain the simplicity I previously enjoyed?

    The "Photos" folder (or the Media Browser) will show only show in the File Chooser window, when you are prompted to select an image file - as Terence Devlin said.
    You will see it in the sidebar, in the "Media" section, when you select a file, but no longer in the Finder. That has been discontinued since MacOS X Lion.
    If iPhoto does not show in photos, repair the iPhoto library.

  • Sharing a photo album in ipad with iphotos on mac

    i arranged a series of photos on my Ipad into an "album". I would now like to have that show up in Iphoto on my macbook, to build and order a hard-copy book, not a digital book. How can I get the album from my Ipad to Iphoto on the macbook?

    Backing up with iCloud would not backup synced photos anyway. iCloud only works photos that you take with the iPad.
    There are third party WiFi apps that will allow you to transfer the photos back to the Mac. You download the app to both devices and then you can send photos and videos to and from each device.
    I use this one. There are others available in the App Store.

  • What photo printers are compatible with iPhoto '08?

    On Apple's support site, they list the printer drivers that Leopard comes with, but I'm finding that just because Leopard comes with the driver, that doesn't necessarily mean the printer is compatible with iPhoto... unless my research has mislead me.
    What iPhoto-compatible printers are you all using, or which photo printers do you recommend?
    Thanks,
    Jason

  • How to save photos in original size with iPhoto?

    I import my DSLM pictures (4000x3000) per camera connection kit to iPad. I would like to edit the pictures (in Photo Stream) with Photos and iPhotos, but both apps automatically reduce the picture size  to my iPad resolution when saving - which is
    not so brilliant. Now the manual says that this should happen in original size (!). So, please tell me how to do thsi?

    DPI - Dots Per Inch - is meaningless for digital photos until you print them. Then to have a 300 dpi photo you need 300 dots (pixels) per inch of printed photo - so a photo to be printed at 1" x 1" needs to be 300 pixels x 300 pixels - one to be printed at 4" x 6" needs to be 1200 pixels x 1800 pixels -- once to be printed at 20" x 30" needs to be 6000 pixels x 9000 pixels.
    See The Myth of DPI for additional information.

  • What causes my photos to disappear off of iPhoto.  They turn into ghost squares and disappear

    My iphoto  file has started turning my photos into llittle squares and the photos disappear.  I only need to scroll over photos and they just turn into squares and the photos are gone.  I have lost some very import family photos that may not be replaced. 

    Best bet. Restore from your backup from just before this started happening
    Or back up you iPhoto library, depress and hold the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild your iPhoto library

  • Using Aperture along with iPhoto

    Hey.
    I use iPhoto for my image importing... basically everything..
    I got my canon xsi and i like to edit some of my pictures more professionally
    i have photoshop too.. and i failed to learn to use..
    so i was thinking of getting Aperture, and use it only for images that i want to edit.. and stay using iphoto for everything else!
    is this stupid? Is Aperture really an effective editing program?
    Thanks

    Hi Joe Shaheen;
    Personally I think that Aperture is a very good way to process my photos. I find that I am able to process a shot in a much short period of time then with anything else I have used. I especially like it for processing my photos I take in RAW with my D300.
