Photos Missing from Original's Show Package Content

Because I still have some photos with the ! over them when clicked, I decided to make a new library with the originals from the iPhoto Show Package Contents.
I moved the existing library folder to the desktop and opened the library package with a control-click, clicked on "Originals". However, when I looked at the contents of "Originals" that the menu listed, the more recent additions to the library where not displayed in the menu.
I placed the library back in "Finder/Pictures" and opened iPhoto again. Sure enough, the most recent photos that I had added to the library appeared in iPhoto.
How can I get those most recently added photos to display in the originals so that I can create a new library?
Oh yes, I did not make any changes at any time!
Thanks for your help.

If you want to create a new library with all of the photos in your current library download and use iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild the library. This method will keep the metadata intact. Here's how:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be untouched for further attempts at fixing or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
Control click on one of the photos that you can't fine in the Originals folder and select "Show File" in the contextual menu. You will be taken to the folder that contains the photo. If the photo is displayed you can check to see where it's located.
If you experience the "!" again there are two methods to recover:
Try the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
Fix #2
Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:

Under "show package contents," where can I find edited photos from Photos app?

Hi everyone!
I'm getting used to the new Photos app on Mac. In the Finder, under "Show Package Contents" (from the Photos library) I am able to see a folder titled "Masters" which has all of the original photos that I import into the Photos library.
I edited some of these photos in the Photos app, and put them into an album. Where, under "Show Package Contents" can I find the edited photos in this album? I looked in all the subfolders but can't seem to find them.
Thanks in advance.

Have a look at this: It was written about iPhoto but it's about 95% accurate for Photos too. The first one is the one I'm thinking about:

Rebuild Library with 'show package contents'

There is a more comprehensive way of rebuilding the library by deleting some items within the Aperture library. I have forgotten what they are and wonder if you remember.
Thank you,
Jeffrey

Chad
Sorry Chad, but
I think I have all of the pictures in thumbnail form, so is there a way to re-create the original quality photos from those.
No. If you try interpolate pixels - which apps like Photoshop can do, after adding about 3% it will all turn to rubbish.
If there is no way of acheiving the above, then is there any way to extract the photos from any of the "weird" files within the "show package contents" of the iphoto library?
Again no.
But look inside the Originals Folder in there. Are your pics inside that one?

Saving edited photo separate from original

How do I save a photo that I have cropped and modified in other ways as a separate photo from the original? If I choose "return to original version" I lose the changes.
One other question if anyone can help me has to do with my iPhoto Library. I have a lot of photos, but none of them appear when I use Finder on iPhoto Library.
Thanks in advance.

How do I save a photo that I have cropped and modified in other ways as a separate photo from the original? If I choose "return to original version" I lose the changes.
Duplicate the pic first, and make your edits on the duplicate. If you want multiple versions from a single master you'll need to use another app - Aperture, for instance.

Since iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
Want to look inside the Library? Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Standard Warning: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 and later*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and later* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

"Show Package Content" organization ... or lack thereof.

I have been using iPhoto on and off again since 2004. Over the years we have updated our computer various times, so the pictures have been constantly moved around from iPhoto '04 to '06 to '08 to'09. My husband has also 'backed up' my photos by dropping them into an external hard drive. Plus, I occasionally used an old PC to store pictures, and those too were put onto the hard drive. In the end, that meant that we had over 26,000 photos, mostly duplicates, on our hard drive.
This month I finally went through all those pictures, deleted duplicates, and imported them all to iPhoto '09. I organized them by albums, and named and dated everything. (Some of the pictures were placed under the wrong date because of either camera setting problems or because they were edited in Photoshop and the saved with the editing date.)
So I just cleared my hard drive and went to move my newly organized iPhoto files to the hard drive, but I'm having issues. When I right click the iPhoto icon and select "Show Package Contents" I see all sorts of folders and junk. Frankly, I don't understand most of it. But I can see that there are pictures under the files "Data", "Data.noindex","Modified", and "Originals". The problem is this: the files aren't organized at all in there! I guess I expected them to be organized either like they were in iPhoto (the way I just did them) or like they used to be in old iPhotos (you know, with the years, then 1-12 for the months, then the numbers for the days, etc.) Instead, they are organized under the old dates, folders with one picture will not have any other pictures that were taken at the same time, pictures that I deleted will show up, etc. (And yes, I did empty the iPhoto trash.) I'm just wondering where on earth the organization is, and if I can trust that everything is in there when I move it to my hard drive.

What if I decide in the future that I don't want to use iPhoto? Or what if I want to burn all these files onto a cd for others to use that don't have iPhoto?
Simply select the photo(s) in iPhoto and export (file menu ==> export) and use the photos however you want - quick and simple - your photos are always available for any use
Do I have to save all the files externally as well so that the pictures are actually organized outside of iPhoto?
You can but it is a waste of time and disk IMHO since they are always readily available as describe above

How do i "show package contents" on .webtemplate files that have arrow

Hi,
Quick question:
How do i "show package contents" on .webtemplate files that have a small arrow attached on the file icon. Its a template a downloaded from 11mystics.com (free). When i right click the icon there is no "show package contents" available on the drop down menu....
Thanx!

When you bring up the contextual menu for the icon, choose "Show Original". This will take you to where the original file is and you should be able to "Show Package Contents" on it.

Window blank when I click "Show Package Contents" in Pictures folder

Long story short, I have two iPhoto libraries - one on an old laptop and one on a new MacBook Air (10.6.4). I have been trying to copy the old iPhoto library from the old laptop to the new laptop (so that I would be able to access both libraries on the new laptop by holding down option when starting iPhoto and selecting one or the other).
I copied the old iPhoto library into the "Pictures" folder on the new laptop. Then I did some ill-advised tidying up (I know, I know, I'm an idiot) in that "Pictures" folder. As I understand it, inside "Pictures", there should be an "iPhoto Library" folder but that has now gone. In fact, there is nothing in "Pictures" at all. When I right click on "Pictures" and select ""Show Package Contents" I get a blank window.
I have the two iPhoto libraries (old and new) elsewhere on my hard drive - in a folder I created in the home directory ("Pictures 2" > "iPhoto Library"). iPhoto can read the two libraries from there no problem. But I cannot drag and drop the libraries into the "Pictures" folder, where they should be, because I get an error message: "You can’t open the application “Pictures” because it may be damaged or incomplete". When I click on "Pictures", it doesn't open in Finder but iPhoto opens up showing whatever library I used last.
Someone on the iPhoto forum suggested that I post this problem here: "That sounds very like the Pictures Folder has had it's Execute bit set and the Mac now thinks it's an application. The solution to this is a trip to the Terminal. Post this here: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1339 and someone will give you the Terminal commands to fix that." So I'm hoping that someone here can help me out!
Let me know if you need any further info. The other thread is here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11958853#11958853
Many thanks.

I'm having the same exact problem. I have an older macbook pro and I was trying to copy the iphoto library to my new imac. I was stupidly messing around with the pictures folder on the comp when things weren't migrating correctly, then it suddenly changed from a folder to a package and I got the same error when I tried to delete. Any suggestions?

Show Package Content option not available in Ctrl+click

Hi,
I just installed Mozilla's Thunderbird email SW (v. 1.5.0.5) and I'm trying to import the mail I had accumulated previously in Mail 2.1 (this is under OS X Tiger 10.4.7, sadly running on a pretty old G4 400 MHz, AGP Graphics). The instructions from Mozilla seem pretty simple:
<<How do I import e-mail messages from mail.app (MacOS X)?
Go to ~/Library/Mail/ and root out the .mbox files in the finder. These are actually OSX packages. Select Show Package Contents and a new window will open revealing several files including a file named mbox. Copy that file to the subfolder called Local Folders in the folder Mail in your profile folder and rename it to something meaningful. This process needs to be done for each of your mailboxes. Finally start Thunderbird to see the new mail folders.>
Well, I'm also a recent convert to OS X ('twas about time! I was still running OS 9.2.2 less than a month ago!), so I had never heard of "Show Package Contents". It seems that I should be able to see this in the contextual menu when I Ctrl+click (or right-click; I have a multi-button mouse) on the object (the *.mbox folder in this case). But my contextual menu has no such option.
Any ideas?
Louis

Hmm... They do look like folders, don't they? Perhaps they were thinking of an earlier release of OS X...
Anyway, what you describe is close but not exactly what I see. Let me describe to make sure the situation is clear: I am in home>Library>Mail>Mailboxes. Inside this, I have a set of *.mbox "folders", each of which contains only two items: an "info.plist" file and a "Messages" folder. The "Messages" folders (within each *.mbox folder) contain individual messages with the .emlx extension.
So the *.mbox "folders" contain no mbox file that I can grab and move (and no index, content.index, of table of contents that you mention). Perhaps these are "hidden"? But I can't find an option anywhere to "Show hidden files".
Ideas?
Louis

How do I undo "Show package content"?

I imported a ACVHD file to my mac and select to "Show package content". Now the video files wont import to Final Cut Pro X because it's not seeing the index file (which I have). How do I undo "show package content" or re-package the files? I'm on Mac 10.8. Thanks!
Amalia

I just wanted to make sure all the video files were there before I deleted them off the flashcard in the camera. Didn't know it would cause a problem until now when I'm trying to import everything to from my external hard drive to final cut pro... :-\ Is viewing packge content an irriversable thing? I just assumed there would be a hide content option since there was a show contnet option but clearly wasn't the case. I did not move or delete any files. The index file is clearly there as well as the mts files and cpi files...
Here's ascreen shot of the file structure. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

Show Package Contents in 10.10.1

The option is gone from menu. The problem, I can't extract images from Pages or Keynote.

By default, Pages v5.5.2, Numbers v3.5.2, and Keynote v6.5.2 all write single file format (compressed) documents. These are no longer packages, and thus, the absence of show package contents on the contextual menu. Once you have saved a document from one of these applications, you can revisit the following:
File ▸ Advanced ▸ Change File Type ▸ Package
File ▸ Save
One you have taken these steps, that default single file format document is now a package format document that allows you access via the show package contents contextual menu item. It is important that you follow the first bullet with the second.
Also, the Package format documents altered in the above manner, are now backwards compatible with Pages v5.2.2 on Mavericks. Otherwise, not.

"Show Package Contents" not available

Hi all
I just downloaded the Common Criteria Toolset from here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/commoncriteriatoolsfor105.html
I use Mac OS X 10.5 on a MacBook PRO 2.4.
I am not able to choose "Show Package Contents" from the Finder by right clicking the file. Instead I have to open the package in Installer.app and let it show the files with cmd-i.
This is not the first package that shows this behaviour. Older packages mostly work fine though.
Can someone enlighten me, what has changed here, or how I get the Finder option back?
--greg

Hi,
i might be wrong, but I don't remember ever to have seen this option with installation packages (.pkg), only with installed apps. For a .pkg there's only cmd+i when opened with Installer.app. Maybe "Show Package Contents" existed for pkgs earlier, but that must've been a while ago. At least I can verify that the option is not there, so it's not a problem with your system.

About 1000 photos missing from IOS6 iPhoto and iPhone - how do I locate or recover them?

About 1000 photos missing from IOS6 iPhoto and iPhone - how do I locate or recover them?
About phone section says i have 3,223 photos - but I can no longer see about 1000 photos from about 2 years ago. This may be connected to recently trying to back up phone to iCloud, but i could not work out how to do that as I can't see any images at all showing in my iCloud account.
I am using iPhone 4s IOS 6.1.13 iPhone - didn't update software previously due to concerns about losing photos, ironically
My iTunes back tells me also that i have 3,303 photos in it - but again I can't understand how to locate these photos
any help appreciated - thanks

With your iPhone connect to iPhoto, select the photos and/or videos you want to import followed by selecting Import Selected instead of selecting Import All.
It is a good idea to remove the photos and/or videos from your iPhone's Camera Roll after the import process is complete.

Unable to open certain apps (but WILL open using 'Show Package Contents' trick)

I have a number of apps lately that I've tried to install, but when I first click on them to use, they simply bounce on the dock for a minute or so, then quit out.
None of the apps are related, most are very minor, but the most familiar to everyone would be Google Chrome. After doing some searching of my own, I've been able to determine that the only way to open any of these apps is to right click on the app, go to 'Show Package Contents', 'Contents', 'MacOS', then double click on the 'Unix Executable File' (for this example 'Google Chrome'). They all work just fine if opened this way, but after closing any of them and then trying to open them again using the good 'ol double click, they just go back to bouncing on the dock and then quitting. I tried booting into 'Safe' mode, and after doing this the apps seem to open up just fine. So obvioulsy something is interfering with a select few apps on my system from working. I'm wondering if there is some simple command in Terminal I should be using that would easily clear up this issue (I've already tried a few of these that I've seen on other help sites, but don't remember them now unfortunately). I appreciate everyones help in advance! Thank you!!!

How to disable Show Package Contents option?

One of the kids at the school I manage figured out how to unlock any program I've disabled via Workgroup Manager by editing a certain string in the info.plist file found within the packages of all applications. So I would like to remove the "Show Package Contents" option from the contextual menu in the Finder on all of the kids' machines. Is there perhaps some terminal command I could push out to the MacBooks via Apple Remote Desktop? Some hidden trick in Workgroup Manager? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Unfortunately, you can't remove it (However you could rename it to something else). Here is a workaround to your problem.
1. Make sure all applications you want to manage are in a folder that your users have read only access to (such as /Applications).
2. By default, any properly installed app will have permissions root:admin rwxrwxr-x. If not, make sure they do.
3. In the terminal cd into /Applications/___.app/Contents/MacOS
4. Run the command: sudo chmod o-r _____ (Fill in the blank with the name of the app without the .app extention).
Here is the logic behind this. As long as the apps are in a folder the users only have read access to, such as /Applications, the only way they can edit that info.plist file is to copy the app to their home directory and then edit it. You are now preventing this by taking away their read (and therefore copy) ability to the most important part of the application, the executable. Now they will still be able to execute the app but not read/copy it. If they try, they will need to provide an admin code.

I am trying to Show Package contents of iMovie and it freezes at the hr.lprog folder

While doing a virus scan my machine would freeze on the file
Applications/iMovie/Contents/Resource/hr.lprog/Title-SidewaysDrifting.nib/keyedo bjects.nib.
Bitdefender said to send them the file.
I am able to "Show package contents" of iMovie, and open the Contents and Resources folder. When I try to open the hr.lprog folder, I get the spinning beach vball of death and I have to reboot my machine using the power button.
Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this and how to fix it?
Is the hr.lprog folder just the language files for Croatia? If so, can I safely delete them, or is there more to it?

My guess would be that your hard drive has become corrupt, and the corruption is affecting something about that folder or its contents such that when the Finder tries to display them, it crashes. I would recommend immediatelyrepairing with Disk Utility. Also, if you don't have any backups, now would be a good time to start, before something bad happens.
If repairing the hard drive doesn't work, I would try deleting and reinstalling iMovie.
Also, note that I don't recommend BitDefender. Read my Mac Malware Guide, and if after reading that you want to have anti-virus software, use one of the programs it recommends. BitDefender has performed poorly in my anti-virus software testing, both in the first round and the second round of testing.
