Using Deja Vu, How do I set up the auto back up?

I rececently bought a La Cie hard drive. It's a wonderful thing. So I decided to use Deja Vu to auto back up my iphoto files. Seems simple enough. Just select the file and it will auto back up when ever you schedule it.
OK, so what folder do I select to back up my iphoto pictures? I know what you are going to say "just back up the iphoto library". Well, I did. Then I went back to verify that my photos were there. For some reason I can't see them all. I don't understand the directory. It seems simple enough. There are folders titled 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 ect. When I go in them I see some pictures but not all. A lot of the folders seem empty. I can't seem to find the most recent pictures when I browse the directory through the finder. I see them in the iphoto application but not in the finder???
I don't understand are they there but i can't see them (that would be weird) or am I looking in the wrong place?
I know you probably think I am crazy but try it yourself.

puppymac,
In order for the photos to show up in iPhoto they have to be in the library folder in the Finder. Sometimes iPhoto puts your images in weird places. It could be because it couldn't read the EXIF info for the image correctly, or maybe the image didn't have a date or correct date set for it.
If you really want to know where these elusive images are, try this out.
There is a way to find out where the original photo is that you have in your iPhoto Library. On this page there are iPhoto Applescripts. One of them is "show image file" I tried it and it does work for iPhoto 5. If you click on the image in your library window and then use the applescript it will open up a finder window with the image file, and you can see it's path of where it is.
http://www.apple.com/applescript/iphoto/
Download the scripts from the link
Once downloaded, put the folder "iPhoto Scripts" in ~/Library/Scripts
Now navigate to Applications/Applescript
In that Applescript folder is an icon that says "Install Script menu"
double click that icon to install the Script menu in your menu bar. You might have an item called ScriptMenu.menu instead. follow directions on next link
http://www.appleclub.com.hk/applescript/script_menu/
It will look like a little black scrolled paper.
Or you might have an item named AppleScript Utility.app in the folder. Double click to open it and make sure you have show script menu in menu bar checked.
Now open iPhoto, click on a photo to highlight it
Go to the menu bar and click and hold on the Applescript icon
scroll down to iPhoto Scripts, then scroll to "show image file"
Wait for the Finder top open a finder window showing you where the image is.
Get back and tell us where they were hiding.

  • How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

    How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

    unless i'm missing something, i think you got mixed up, this is easy google for walk throughs
    i'm assuming this is the new 3tb tc AC or 'tower' shape, if so, its wifi will run circles around your at&t device
    unplug the at&t box for a minute and plug it back in
    factory reset your tc - unplug it, hold down reset and keep holding while you plug it back in - only release reset when amber light flashes in 10-20s
    connect the tc to your at&t box via eth in the wan port, wait 1 minute, open airport utility look in 'other wifi devices' to setup the tc
    create a new wifi network (give it a different name than your at&t one) and put the tc in bridge mode (it may do this automatically for you, but you should double check) under the 'network' tab
    login to your at&t router and disable wifi on it
    add new clients to the new wifi network, and point your Macs to the time machine for backups

  • I have a new MAcBook Air and my photos don't fit on the internal hard drive.  I want to store my photos on an external hard drive which I will connect to my Air when using Iphoto.  How do I set an external hard drive as the default drive?

    I have a new MAcBook Air and my photos don't fit on the internal hard drive.  I want to store my photos on an external hard drive which I will connect to my Air when using Iphoto.  How do I set an external hard drive as the default drive in Iphoto?

    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.

  • I have a new Mac Pro.  I want to use my old Mac Pro as a storage drive for photos and old documents, linked to my new Mac Pro.  How do I set up the old computer?

    I have a new Mac Pro.  I want to use my old Mac Pro as a storage drive for photos and old documents, linked to my new Mac Pro.  How do I set up the old computer?  Both computers have OS X10.9.3.  Currently they are connected by a Firewire 800 cable.

    You certainly could keep the old Mac Pro in Firewire mode (hold down the T key on its keyboard as you boot) to show its drives on the new MP. This is basically as fast as putting the drives into a Firewire enclosure.
    Or you could boot it normally and share its files over the network using the Sharing panel of System Preferences. If you turn on both File and Screen Sharing, you don't even need to have a monitor attached - you can do all administration using screen sharing. However, this method requires that you open all files over the network, which will be slower than the direct-connect method above, and may also not work with all applications.

    I lost my apple tv remote.  How can I set up the use of my iphone remote app without it?

    The remote app would require home sharing to be enabled and both to be on the same network. If that's not the case then you will need a new remote

  • I have an iphone 5s and my kids have ipods. How do i set up the ipods to use facetime and messaging without it going through my iphone?

    i have an iphone 5s and my kids have ipod touches. How do i set up the ipods to use facetime and messaging without it going through my iphone or rather using my apple id? Is this possible? Does each device need its own apple ID and/or icloud email?

    Try unchecking your phone number and email address (if present) under You can be reached by FaceTime (iMessage) at in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime on their devices.  Also uncheck their email address (if present) on your phone.
    Otherwise have them use separate Apple IDs for these services (tap the ID, sign out, sign back in with a different ID).  You can do this and still share the same ID for other services such as iTunes.

  • How do I set up the "Objects and Attachments"

    Hi .... I'm new at WorkFlow (and SAP for that matter) and have inherited a WF that is already built.  In several of the steps I can see "Objects and Attachments" on the work item screen where a User can click to be directed to a transaction. For example, on one screen the User can click on "Incoming Invoice: 5105601690" to be directed to the Invoice Display Screen that is populated with information for that particular invoice (5105601690).
    I am looking at the WF using TCode SWDD and cannot figure our how the original developer set this up.  So my question is ..... for a particular WF step, how do you set up the "Objects and Attachments: area so that the User will be directed to a particular transaction when he/she clicks on it.
    Thanks in advance, and sorry for such a "juvenile" question.
    Dan A

    Thanks for your reply Rajkumar,
    I am looking at the screen you have directed me to.  Business object is BUS2081 (actually it is ZMMWBS2081 which is a customized version BUS2081) Method is "Display" and Attribute is "InvoiceDocNumber".  How do I know by looking at this that "Display" means Display Invoice?  What if I wanted to display the PO instead?
    Thanks for the "spoon feeding".

    If you have lion, just install it.. For ML follow this.
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.

  • I have two children each with an ipod which has FaceTime - I have the iphone 4s with FaceTime.  All of these devices are connected to itunes through the one account.  How do I set up the FaceTime on the two ipods so as it doesn't ring both of them?

    I have two children each with an ipod which has FaceTime - I have the iphone 4s with FaceTime.  All of these devices are connected to itunes through the one account.  How do I set up the FaceTime on the two ipods so as it doesn't ring both of them?

    I started to do that then it said that this will become their apple I.D or similar and then I thought that will disconnect them from the same iTunes?  I want them still on my iTunes as they are only young (8 and 10)?  Or have I got this all wrong and even if I do set them up with a different e-mail will they still be on my itunes?  For example if they want to purchase an App will it still go through my account even if they use their ipod?

    Hi Martin,
    MobileMe Mail Help: Setting up Mac OS X Mail to receive your MobileMe email
    The steps you follow to set up Mac OS X Mail to receive your MobileMe email depend on which version of Mac OS you’re using.
    Important: For the instruction below, use the following: MobileMe Mail’s incoming mail server is “mail.me.com” and the outgoing mail server it “smtp.me.com.”
    To set up Mac OS X Mail to receive MobileMe mail:
    If you’re using Mac OS X version 10.4.11 or later
    Open System Preferences (under the Apple icon at the upper-left of your computer screen).
    Click MobileMe (if you have Mac OS X version 10.5.3 or later), or .Mac (if using version 10.4.11 to 10.5.2), and enter your MobileMe member name and password.
    Open Mac OS X Mail, choose Mail > Preferences, and then click Accounts.
    Click the Add button at the lower-left of the Accounts pane. Choose MobileMe from the Account Type pop-up menu, and then enter your account information.
    The member name and password you use for SMTP authentication must match the member name and password in the User Name and Password fields.
    To switch to POP, delete the existing IMAP account before you create the new POP account. Choose POP Account from the Account Type pop-up menu instead of MobileMe Account.
