Trouble accessing photos.

Hello! Need help! Having trouble accessing photos from Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0, I had a free trial but never registered the program because I was not using it. The other day I was taking pics off a Canon camera, & they automatically loaded into that site. I selected cancel several times, but the program did not respond. Once they completely loaded in, the program asked if I wanted to erase photos from the camera, I selected no but it started erasing them, I was able to stop it but 44 were erased off the camera. I can see the photos in the program but can not access them since I never registered. I tried to register now but received email saying that program has expired. So how do I get my photos? Please help! The photos are not mine, I was loading them from a friends camera, & they are important vacation memories to her! Thanks! Ruth

When you click on one of the thumbnails do you see a blank window where the full sized image?  Or do you see this in the window:
In either case make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
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
In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
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 left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Having trouble accessing photos

    Ever since updating my 4s to the ios7, I am having trouble accessing my photos when using apps such as Facebook, text messaging, and Google hangouts.  It says that the app cannot access my photos and to change my setting in privacy settings.  When I go to the privacy settings and click on photos I get a message saying that if an app wants to access my photos it will be listed and I can change the setting, however none of the apps are ever listed.  How do I change my setting so I can upload pictures that I have already taken on my phone?

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    This is not necessarily a permissions issue, but could also be a corrupt library.
    To repair permissions in the iPhoto Library: 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. You'll see the option to check and repair Library permissions.
    If that doesn't help, what version of iphoto do you have? Assuming 09 or later...
    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. .

  • Trouble Accessing Photo Albums

    When I go to the Photo album, it lists the albums I have. Right now all I have is the Camera Roll and Wallpapers album. The top album- Camera Roll, is blocked by the Album header in Ipod Touch. It won't scroll down to access the album. Can anyone help.

  • Trouble accessing photos in iPhoto

    For most of my older photos (1  yrs) I can no longer open and edit them in iphoto.  The image is visible in thumbnail in iphoto but won't open, won't copy, etc.  Help!  It's very odd. I can literally see the thumbnail of the photo and then can't view it when I double click to try to open it.  This is a new issue, perhaps connected to upgraing my computer?

    When you click on one of the thumbnails do you see a blank window where the full sized image?  Or do you see this in the window:

  • Why can't I access Photo Editor. When I click on it, it kicks me off the Elements start screen?

    I was having trouble accessing Photo Editor from the start screen of Elements. When I click on "Photo Editor" it kicks me out of the program entirely. Yet, when I click on "Organizer" it opens. What can I do? After I configured my monitor, I was able to access Photo Editor, but then it has gone back to NOT accessing it. Anyone have an answer?

    Try a reset. Next try deleting and reinstalling app.

  • Trouble exporting photos

    I'm having trouble accessing my iPhoto photos when, for instance, trying to attach them to an email.  When I browse through my computer I find iPhoto, but I can't double-click it to get to the individual photos in my library.

    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   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.
    (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:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  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 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    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.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  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.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • Accessing photos outside of iPhoto 08

    I'm having trouble accessing my photos from anything except iPhoto. When I upload them from my camera using iPhoto, I let iPhoto determine the file structure. In the previous version, I could click in iPhoto Library through the finder and browse directly to the location of the photos. Now, I cannot open the iPhoto library through the finder. This means I can't do anything with my photos outside of iPhoto - I can't upload them or edit them with Photoshop or anything unless I make a copy, which is a total waste. Am I doing something wrong? Why can't I access my photos outside of iPhoto?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
    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. Also, many applications support drag and drop from the iPhoto Window - for instance Mail and AddressBook.
    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.
    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. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.
    Finally, why not set Photoshop as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo:...) That way when you click on a pic to edit it will open automatically in PS and when you save it in PS it will be returned automatically to iPhoto.

  • Access photos from anywhere other than iPhoto?

    Hey everyone,
         Admittedly I am an iPhoto noob, but I am not a Mac noob or a photo noob. That being said, a friend suggested I use iphoto for all my photo organization and I'm having trouble with that from the very beginning. I usually use Bridge or just a regular file structure. I can access my photos from anywhere and I am proficient in Photoshop and Lightroom.
    I am testing the iPhoto platform out for my future use, but I can't get past the first flaw...
    Why is it that I cannot access my photos from outside of iPhoto? This seems counter productive...
    Can anyone enlighten me please? I don't want to read the whole .PDF manual on iPhoto.
    Thank you for your time!

    I am testing the iPhoto platform out for my future use, but I can't get past the first flaw...
    If you see the first gap in your knowledge as a flaw in the software, you might as well give up now. You're resisting it. That said, if you have Lightroom I have no idea why you would want to use iPhoto - and using both makes no sense. Adding Bridge to the process just muddies everything else further. But then if you have Lightroom and Photoshop I have no idea why you would be using Bridge, or accessing photos via the File system, but you're proficient int hose so I'm sure you know that.
    iPhoto is a consumer level application. It's aimed at the chap with a point and shoot or maybe a phone. It has the power to fix up the shot and share it easily. It can do more than that, of course, but that's the target market. It's serves that market very well, mind you, offering Raw processing, non-destructive editing and so on, and in a very easy to use package, but if you're proficient with Lightroom, Bridge and Photoshop then it has very little to offer you. It's a tack hammer beside a team of sledgehammers.
    Why is it that I cannot access my photos from outside of iPhoto? This seems counter productive...
    But you can, of course.  For help accessing your photos in iPhoto see this user tip:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4491
    Then there's the external edit facility. This would make Bridge redundant. 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.
    But really, it's not for you.

  • I'm having trouble loading photos on my I phone 4s and I pod.  I don't see the photos tab in Itunes?? Prob user error but wanted to get some help.

    I'm having trouble loading photos on my I phone 4s and I pod.  I don't see the photos tab in I-tunes? I'm sure its user error but wanted to get some help.

    What's the origin of this external drive? It sounds very much like it's a Windows-formatted (NTFS) drive which Macs can't write to. If you can, copy the files off the drive, reformat it as Mac format (using Disk Utility) and copy the files back. If you need to continue writing to it from a Windows PC, you should format it ExFAT in Disk Utility.

  • How do I access photos that were backed up onto an external hard drive using Time Machine?

    I used to own a PC. When my computer got too full, I would back up some of my photo albums onto an external hard drive (simply by copying and pasting what I wanted to save on the hard drive) and then delete them on my computer to free up space. Occassionally, I would still plug in my hard drive to access and use those photos when needed. I now own a Macbook Pro and after having issues with my old hard drive, I bought a hard drive compatiable with Macs. I plugged in the hard drive and backed up my entire computer using Time Machine. Now I would like to delete some of my photo albums to free up space on my computer. Before I do that, I would like to double check that they are indeed on the hard drive, but every time I try to open my iPhoto Library from the hard drive I get this error message: "The iPhoto library is a Time Machine backup, and so cannot be used as the main library. Reopen iPhoto with the Option key held down to choose another library." So I tried doing that, but the only option that comes up is my main iPhoto library on my computer. I can't seem to access what is on my hard drive.
    I don't plan on deleting ALL of my photo albums, just a few. So I also want to make sure that the next time I plug in my hard drive to back stuff up, it won't copy just what is on my computer and override the last backup, because that would mean losing missing albums I had already deleted. I just want to be able to access photos on my hard drive when I want and occassionally manually add a few more albums to it. I don't intend to keep backing up my entire computer. My main concern are my photos.
    Can anyone help?

    I am after some advice on how to access photos on an iPad that were synced from a now failed laptop? The question stems from a need to return my current iPad having just taken delivery of a new unit. Thanks

    If you have a dropbox account, there's a free app (probably more) that syncs photos to your dropbox account - picbox. 
    There's also PhotoSync that syncs photos to/from a number of different services and devices.
