Saved jpeg to iPhoto but it's not in library..

I tried saving it again but was prompted that it already existed in iPhoto. I only have 25 photos in my iPhoto library so I know it's not there. Where did it go and what's the best way to move a jpeg image (such as from an email) into iPhoto?
Thanks, Sheila

Hi sheila,
some people have had no luck with the "add to library" menu for the attachment in Mail.app. It works for me, but for others it doesn't.
Is that the method you used.?
If not, and this is what I am guessing you did, you put the image manually into the iPhoto Library folder. It will not show up within iPhoto this way, it needs to be imported/add to library, or dragged into an open Library window (iPhoto is open and your images are showing in the right column)
Now there are many ways to move an image into the library.
-Drag the image from the body of the email onto the iPhoto icon in the dock
-Drag the image from the email into an open iPhoto Library window
-click and hold on the arrow next to attachments and scroll to add to iPhoto
there's probably more ways too.
Oh, I forgot to tell you to find your image, navigate back into the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder and drag the image back from where you put it to the desktop.
Now drag it into an open iPhoto Library window.

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 for Windows 7. I need to re-install it because my computer crashed. I saved the outer box, but I do not see a serial number and it is asking for it when I am trying to install the CD software. I went online, but the only serial number I see is when I registered the Photoshop Elements 2.0.

The serial number will be on the disc case, not the outer box. Find your serial number quickly

I just upgraded to IOS 8 and a ton of pictures appeared on my iphone from my computer. I want them saved in my iphoto but not on my phone. If I delete them from my phone will they delete on my computer?

I just upgraded my iphone 4S to IOS 8 and a ton of pictures appeared on my iphone from my computer. I want them saved in my computer iphoto but not on my phone. If I delete them from my phone will they delete in iphoto on my computer? They are taking up a lot of memory. Thanks

No they will not delete. If you are nervous about that, connect your phone to your computer and import the photos into iPhoto and drag them into a new folder on your desktop.

My iphone 4s is recognized by itunes and iphoto, but it will not show as a device in finder for macbook pro

My iPhone 4s is recognized by itunes and iphoto however it does not show up in finder under devices.

I don't agree - I have two IMacs and two iPhones - the iPhone 4S show up on one machine, but not the other. They do show that they are charging, and a memory stick will open on the same USB ports. So, I don't think this is how they are "supposed to work"......

I subscribed to a photo stream in iPhoto but I'm not seeing any photos

I'm using iPhoto 9.6 on a Macbook using Yosemite. Someone shared a photostream with me. I subscribed (using Yosemite) without any errors but I'm not seeing any photos. I've confirmed with the person who created the photostream that there are photos in it (I've seen them first hand). I've had this issue before on Mavericks so . Anyone seen this before? Any idea how to solve?

Not occurring for me, but you could try this:
This solved my question by adamnash on Oct 19, 2014 6:52 PM
Solution:
I took a brute force approach:
- I quit iPhoto
- I launched Settings, went to iCloud, turned off Photo
- I launched iPhoto
- I verified that iCloud was off
- I quit iPhoto
- I went back to Settings, went to iCloud, turned on Photo
- I launched iPhoto
It's now synching all the albums, although the one I published while in this broken case seems to have now disappeared.

IPhoto 9.4.3 not seeing Library

Bit of a panic this morning. Not only awoke to a Time Machine error saying my dedicated backup drive had suddenly become read-only and I needed to back up what I could and reformat the drive (thus losing months of backups), but as I was scowling at the error message iPhoto unexpectedly crashed after I plugged in my iPhone--and since refuses to see my 500gb library which goes all the way back to 2002 and is stored on an external 1TB hard drive.
All at once my seemingly foolproof system of having the iPhoto library on one external hard drive and a Time Machine backup of it on a separate external drive was for naught. Many thousands of pictures and movies were suddenly gone in a scenario too implausible for me to have imagined.
After almost barfing on my keyboard I trashed the prefs and restarted iPhoto. Then I restarted the machine about seventeen times. Then I tried pointing iPhoto to the library by holding down <Option> at startup, then I tried rebuilding the database. Then I tried iPhoto Library Manager which "scavenged" only about a third of the photos, and with no albums at all. Plus 153gb of 500gb isn't much consolation, especially at 8:30 in the morning.
Lastly I simply tried using Finder and copied over the big Masters folder and Previews and Thumbnails and everything else, but no matter what I try when I launch iPhoto it presents me with "To get started with iPhoto..."
The one relief I have in this is that I have spot-checked the Masters folder and all 500gb of the jpg's and mov's are intact, up to and including the ones I imported the night before. They're all sitting where they've always been on the external drive. Since I copied them a replica is sitting on my iMac's hard drive too, but iPhoto will not recognize either library at all.
Back to almost barfing on my keyboard, and having spent all Sunday not the way I wanted to spend it I finally turn to the experts. I need a little help here.
iPhoto 9.4.3
default library kept on external 1TB drive
using new 21.5" iMac on OS 10.8.5
Also using a Macally BTKey wireless keyboard which is about to be barfed on.

Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

I reinstalled iPhoto but events did not update

I reinstalled iPhoto because I didn't like the photos app. When I did, the events did not update--the last one was April 12. I downloaded my photo stream, thinking that that would get me my most current events, but I just have a mess of photos. How can I get events to recognize everything after April 12?

Details needed
1 - what exactly did you do? There is no need to reinstall iPhoto as it is no removed by the OS upgrade - you just launch it form the LaunchPad or the application s folder and use it as before
2 - what updates did you expect? If you have imported photos into the Photos application then iPhoto knows nothing about them - you have to import them to iPhoto too
3 - Nothing has changed with PhotoStream what exactly are you seeing?

Import crashed - files not viewable in iPhoto but on Mac (not importable)

Importing 220 photos from Kodak camera via printer/dock 6000. With 6 left to go it crashed. The photos ARE in a folder in iPhoto directory but do not appear in iPhoto. I tried importing from those folders but get message that they 'could not be imported (they may be an unrecognizable file type or may not contain valid data)". They are no longer on the camera so I can't re download them.

That message is what you get if you try to import files that are already inside the iPhoto library; iPhoto won't do that. If the photos are there in iPhoto library/Originals, you can drag them to your desktop from the Finder. Be careful not to change anything else in Finder, since this is the most common cause of trouble with iPhoto. See if they open in Preview. If so, then within the iPhoto app you can Import them into iPhoto from the desktop.
By the way, it's a good idea to not let iPhoto delete files from your camera, since this is an often reported problem. Better to let your camera reformat the card, both for safer uploading and for better camera card performance (so I've read).

How can I free up space by deleting old photos from i photo? Have deleted files from iPhoto but that does not seem to free space- is it stored at a different site?

Want to free up disk space by deleting photos but unable to do so

To delete photos from iPhoto:
Drag the image from the iPhoto Library (Either Events or Photos view) to the iPhoto Trash. Empty it. Then empty the system trash as well.
If space is an issue you can run a Library from an external drive:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
Or move part of the Library to an external drive.

A downloaded file is supposed to be saved in a folde, but it is not there.

I downloaded a file, my preferences show it should be saved in a certain folder, when I go to that folder it is not there.. Please help

Please do the following. 
#In the location bar at the top, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter. 
#In the filter at the top, copy/paste the following setting: '''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone'''

How to import iPhoto album from CD (not entire library)?

I am trying to set up a workflow where multiple people in multiple cities can export an album from iPhoto and send the CD to me. Once I receive it, I'll import it into my iPhoto library. I would like to import it directly in to Aperture though. What is the best way to do this?
Should I import into iPhoto then have my library linked to Aperture or should I keep everything in Aperture? I do not need to edit -- only catalog based on the keywords each person attaches to each photo. I don't think that exporting the photos by themselves (instead of the album they are in) gives me the comments field so I would lose the comments. That is why I need the entire album instead.
I hope this makes sense. Please let me know if you have any more questions.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Terence,
Yes, they are using v7. The thing is, since I posted the question, I found that doing an album burn (not a file export) will save the data, but in a file other than the image file. When you mount the CD you just burned to in iPhoto, the data shows up in the comments field. When you import the data though, the comments don't get imported.
I found a third party utility called iPhoto Library Manager that takes care of this. It allows you to do a lot of stuff like imports, library merges, etc. that iPhoto doesn't do. Very handy little app, but I think iPhoto should at least allow you to import an album from another system with all the info intact (especially since it exports it into the xml file included with the photos).

Mt iPhoto library has disappeared from my laptop after syncing my new iPhone with the laptop. I now have a new iPhoto library with no photos. I have tried pressing option when opening iPhoto but I only get one library option and can't find my old one

My iPhone4s was recently replaced by apple due to grey out on wifi. when I went to sync with my laptop my iPhoto library disapeared and I was left with an empty library. I cannot find my old library on my laptop. I only get one option for a library when i open iPhoto while holding down option key. I am worried I have lost all my photos. there seems ot be no iPhoto library on my iCloud either.
Any suggestions?

Syncing with an iPhone should not delete the iPhoto library on your mac. It only will upload photos to the phone (iTunes sync) or import (connecting by USB). How did you sync your phone?
TD, do you know of any way, that a sync could delete an iPhoto Library on a Mac?
You may have opened a wrong library or may be working from a different user account. Are you using the same user name and Apple ID as before?
How have you searched for iPhoto libraries? Have you searched with Spotlight?
Each iPhoto library contains a file called "Library6.iPhoto" - even if your iPhoto library should no longer be recognisable as photolibrary, this file should be found:
Type "Library6" into the "Spotlight" search field in the upper right corner of your screen, like this:
When you see a list of files, select one of them and hold down the key combination ⌥⌘ to reveal the path to the file.
If Spotlight cannot find the file in the packages, use "FindAnyFile" http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile

IMovie to iPhoto: I've read the discussions and other posts, but it's not working.

Ugh. I created some stills within a completed iMovie project. Now, I want to copy and export those stills to iPhoto, but it;'s not working out. Help?

You will need to download a free app called MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 (Google it)
Now, in iMovie, select the video clip that contains the still you want. Right-click on it and select Reveal in Finder.
Drag this Finder clip into MPEG Streamclip.
Move the Playhead in MPEG Streamclip to the frame that contains the still that you want.
In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
In the dialog box, choose JPEG, PNG, or TIFF and give it a location to save to.
You can drag this file into iPhoto.

Hi dankoandrij,
What happens when you try to print the PDF file? Are you printing from Adobe Reader, or trying to print from a web browser? Are you using Mac or Windows computer?
I want to help you get this form printing, but I need a bit more information from you.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
