Updated to mavericks and old photobooth photos were resized/cropped? how do i recover the original photo?

i launched photobooth for the first time after upgrading from snow leopard to mavericks (ugh, hate mavericks) and noticed it "updated" all my photobooth files by resizing them. now they're all funky looking and cropped. does anyone else have this problem? how do i recover the original uncropped photos?

Select the photo in iPhoto and use the command "File > Export" and set the "Kind" in the Export panel to "Original". That will write a copy of the original to a folder you can access in the Finder.
The command "File > Reveal in Finder" will show you the original inside the iPhoto Library, but you must not access the files this way. If you access them from other apps using the Finder, you will corrupt your library.

To what purpose do you need to find the files? Is there a problem and iPhoto giving an error message about missing originals?

    You should never update without making sure that you have saved everything on your computer first.
    You should import all pics and vids before attempting any update.
    If you have failed to save the data, then it is gone

  • Where are these unix executable files coming from and how do I recover the original text file?

    where are these unix executable files coming from and how do I recover the original text file?

    When you upgraded to Lion did you have AppleWorks installed on your mac?
    Most of the AW documents can be opened by Pages 09 or Numbers 09 with most of the orginal format in tact. (I do not know if previouse verision will work) just open the AW file with both and see which one works best.
    Text Edit will also open most of the AW files as well but will require a lot of work to restore them to their orginal format.
    If you have AW Database documents then they are not supported. 
    These document show up as "exec icons", Kind: Unix Executagle File.
    They also will show up as .cwk file if they are small files. I have a couple that were under 1mb that are shown as " Kind: AppleWorks Document" but will not open.
    The only option to open AW database is to have AW installed on a mac with a pre-Lion OS to recover the file.

  • I have two screens on my Apple Mac and could extend work across both. Now updated to Mavericks and cannot do this. What can be done to restore my original functionality?

    I have two screens on my Apple Mac and could extend work across both. Now updated to Mavericks and this no longer works. How could I restore the previous functionality? Is somethong wrong?

    Hi Eustace.
    Thanks for replying to my problem. After posting I noted the "More Like This" box on the right of the screen. The top topic was "Restore old dual screen functionality" and turned out to be the the same question with a surprising answer - in the "Mission Control" dialogue, NOT the "Displays" dialogue. There are five tick boxes at the top of the Mission Control screen and the last of them is "Displays have separate spaces" and this box was ticked through the loading of the Mavericks op. system (presumably). Unticking this box, as advised, restored the 'extended' mode and all is now well.

  • I updated to Mavericks and all my photos and docs are gone.  help

    I received a message from Apple to update to Mavericks.  So, I did.  Now, I have no photos or docs which were previously saved on my computer.  I contaced Apple and they tell me to go to the nearest Appel store.  Are you kidding me?  I live 150 miles from the nearest center.  Can anyone help me?

    Upon completion did you setup a new user account in the Setup Assistant? If so, then log back into your old account or open your old account's /Users/old_account_name/ folder to find your files.

  • How do I recover the original jpg photo files from my computer? They are embedded in the iPhoto Library and I cannot see the actual file.

    I am trying to locate the original jpg or photo files that I uploaded from my camera. I know that the photos are there, because they show up in my iPhoto Library. Where can I go to find the original file ex: DSCN1242.jpg or OLM4564.jpg ?

    Select the photo in iPhoto and use the command "File > Export" and set the "Kind" in the Export panel to "Original". That will write a copy of the original to a folder you can access in the Finder.

  • All contacts and all text messages were gone. How can i retrieve the lost contents? Pls help me.

    Hi! I was browsing my facebook account when my iphone 3G restarted on its own. The apple icon appeared and when the "restarting" process was over, I lost all my installed apps, the contents of my phonebook were gone, all text meassages saved were also gone. It was as if I had a new phone again. I am really lost now and I don't know if there is a way of retrieving my contacts and my messages. Please help me if you have encountered this same problem before. This is the first time I had a problem with my phone and now everything is gone without a warning.
    Please help me. Thanks!

    I upgraded to OS5 yesterday and all my contacts including names, email addresses, and phone numbers have been deleted. When I tried to revert to a previous back up, the only one was the one that was done right before I downloaded the new OS. All other previous backups were gone. In addition, I bought 40.00 worth of extra storage space to back up to iCloud and had to start it over several times before it finally worked...25 hours later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am MAD that the new OS download procedure deleted EVERYTHING in my contacts. The only thing that remains are my favorited phone numbers but none of them are labeled so I have no idea who anyone is except I sort of know where some people were on the list. This is HORRIBLE and so far I've seen hundreds of these exact kinds of posts all over the Net, not just here on the Apple website. I've done everything I could on my own and tried several things that have been suggested by other Apple users here in the forum. Nothing has worked and evidently nothing was saved to my iCloud storage, either. Now I'm having to pay for a 1pm phone call with tech support that I'm sure will cost me a freaking fortune to tell me that I'm screwed-and that'll be 75.00, please.
    yeah, Genius. Nice job Apple.

    "If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).

  • Just updated to Mavericks and can't open spread sheets in numbers

    Just updated to Mavericks and can't opean spread sheets, says I must update numbers but numbers is already updated?

    Hi REBOS1,
    A key point in the article to which YeOldMacFan links is that you now have two versions of Numbers on your Mac, the new version in your main Applications folder and the old version in a subfolder named iWork '09.
    Both versions can coexist on your Mac, even run at the same time, but you need to make sure you are opening a particular document with the correct version. The old version can't open documents that have been edited in the new version, and that's probably the reason you are getting the error message.
    If you have old documents, it's best to make copies of them and open the copies in the new version, leaving the orginals unchanged.

    You should always have your apps on your computer.  If you have failed to keep a copy of the old app versions, then you cannot get them back at all.
    Sorry.
    Many app makers no longer support the old ios and ipod models

  • I lost my macbook pro and i just got a new one. how can i retrieve the pictures taken with photo booth(old laptop) to my new laptop?

    i lost my macbook pro and i just got a new one. how can i retrieve the pictures taken with photo booth(old laptop) to my new laptop?

    Well if you don't have the laptop to get the storage drive out of it, and you don't have any previous backups how do you expect to get the photo's?
    PhotoBooth is just a program, it stores the files on the computers storage drive, if the computer is lost so are your photo's.
    There is nothing you can do to delete or retrieve them using your new computer unless you stored them online someplace.
    DId you save them online? iDisk or something else?
    I don't use such services because my data is mine and not theirs to snoop through, so if your looking for that sort of help I can't assist you any.
