Want to backup my iphoto library to ext. drive, but it does not appear in the picture folder. When I select the picture folder iphoto opens, nothing to drag. Help please? 2013 iMac

I want to back up my iphoto library to my external drive, but can't find it it in my computer's tree. When I click pictures in the tree, it launches iphoto and there is no file name or icon to drag. What am I missing? I'm sure it is simple what ever it is. Help please?

now that you have found your iPhoto library you can drag it to the external drive to backup it up
If you launch iPhoto does it work properly?
However, when I tried to relocate it to the pictures folder, I get a message that I can't add the library because the folder is defective or damaged.
Exactly what are you doing? what is the exact error message?
And as to
Should I trash the pref file for pictures folder and try again?
I have no idea what you are speaking of - files and folers do not have Pref files - only applications have Pref files

  • I sent photos out of my IPhoto library, but they do not appear in my "Sent" folder on my GMail although that mail account was in the "From" field?

    I sent photos out of my IPhoto library, but they do not appear in my "Sent" folder on my GMail although that mail account was in the "From" field?

    If you're using iPhoto as your email client a sent version is not created.  You need to BCC yourself in order to get a copy.
    The better solution is to use Mail as your email client in conjunction with Gmail.  This will give you a sent copy, better access to your contacts and, if so desired, photo templates to use via Mail's stationary feature.

    You mean with the same iCloud account?
    If so, yes this is possible by accessing the iCloud account with the Mail.app on your Mac and with the iPad and iPhone Mail app. This allows for keeping server stored email account mailboxes synced between all three, syncing contacts, calendar events, notes, and Reminders synced between all three, and the same with the iCloud Photo Stream. In addition, you can have music, books, and apps purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store with one device automatically downloaded on the other devices.

  • Been using an Avastor HDX-800 for storage and backup, also a SUPERDISK for smaller stuff; recently the SUPERDISK does not appear on the screen, and the light blinks while you hear it spin, also the Avastor has started to have the same problem, both USB

    Been using an Avastor HDX-800 for storage and backup, also a SUPERDISK for smaller stuff; recently the SUPERDISK does not appear on the screen, and the light blinks while you hear it spin, also the Avastor has started to have the same problem, both USB conncected, both worked well before, but both now spinning, blinking, and not showing up on the screen as before,
    Interestingly they both appear in the System Profiler, but just not working the same as before
    I have tried other USB ports, but the same responce,

    yes I did reset the PRAM, but no benefit, still the same problem
    my usb devices are:  keyboard, mouse, printer, SD-USB-M3, and LaCie d2 DVDRW:
    the mouse and printed are plugged into the keyboard: i have tried to move, these around, and have even tried just the mouse, printer and SD-USB-M3, but still the same problem

  • How do i delete duplicates from my music library. After updating my iTunes the "Show Duplicates" option does not appear in the menu

    How do i delete duplicates from my music library. After updating my iTunes the "Show Duplicates" option does not appear in the menu

    If you are on Version 11.0.1 rather than 11 Apple put it back in
    View > Show Duplicates
    Option + View > Show Exact Duplicates
    so if you are on 11 upgrade to 11.0.1 and you will have it

  • When I open iTunes my iPod nano does not appear in the list of divides so that I can click on what I want to since.

    When I connect my Ipod Nano to my Mac it does not appear in the list of devices, so I can't check what I want it to sinc, such as music videos. It will sinc thr music automaticlly. I can't tell it to sinc anything else.

    the same exact thing happens to me except that when i plug it in it tells me not to disconnect it. i had a friend who told me to leave it plugged in no matter how long it took.. i waited for 5 hours or more for my ipod to do something and i got so mad i just disconnected it.it didn't do ANYTHING AT ALL. so, if someday you find out how to make yours work.. can you tell me please? i'm desperate!

  • Airport time capsule does not appear within wi-fi networks on my OSX neither on my IOS devices, even though the backup for my OSX is on progress. why it does not appear?

    Airport time capsule does not appear within wi-fi networks on my OSX neither on my IOS devices, even though the backup for my OSX is on progress. why it does not appear?
    Is it because the backup on progress?

    Hmmm.. ok.. well you are kind of on your own.. purchasing from another country leads to problems.. especially as the TC itself is regional .. all the setup applies to the region it is sold in.
    Make sure you are using ipv6 in the computers..
    See
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4597
    The 6.3 utility will not work without it.
    Make sure all names are short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    Do a full reset and start over.
    But there are no more controls.. you cannot set mode..
    You can set wireless channels.. so do .. try different wireless names for the different bands.. and set fixed channels.. whatever your country allows, usually 2.4ghz you can use 1, 6, 11 but 13 maybe an option as well. 5ghz is much less clear and there are more variation. Just set to one channel and then another.
    Set WPA2 Personal security with a 10-20 character password .. pure alphanumeric mix of upper and lower case and numbers.

  • The library module in 4.3 version does not show all the images

    The library module in the version 4.3 of Lightroom does not show all the images. They are marked with gray boxes instead of images. This is especially true of the images which I tried to import to Lightroom since I downloaded 4.3 a few weeks ago. If I want to seen an image, I have to go to the develop module to see it. What should I do?  Get this fixed now!!!!!!!!

    My bet would be on a corrupt preview folder.
    Your preview folder is located in the same folder as your catalog. It has the same name as your catalog with the word Previews.LRDATA at the end of the name. Rename this folder and let Lightroom rebuild the previews. Go to Library>Previews>Render Standard-sized Previews.  See if that fixes it.
    If it doesn't, you may want to have a look here: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/photos-appear-black-gray-rectangles.html

  • How can I import my library that is saved on a  external hard drive but it's not saved on the iTunes media folder?

    I need to restore my computer to it's factory settings but I don't want to loose my playlists and my library (windows). I can copy any file from the computer because it's in good working order. All my music it's on a external hard drive, but there's lots of media files that I don't want to sync but need to keep! Any way to do that!?
    Best Regards

    I think that I didn't explain my self correctly, My iTunes media it's not consolidated. May I consolidate the media on a external drive (X:\). ?
    Yes. But consolidate to X:\iTunes\iTunes Media.
    The why I'm asking is because the music library (176gb) is way more than the computer drive (C:\). Remember that all the media is on a external hard drive (J:\)
    The steps I gave earlier will work to copy the whole library onto the new drive, in the correct layout for future ease of use.

  • My content library is grayed out in the top menu and does not appear in the sidebar. Cannot use.

    I am using iMovie 10.0.3 on OS 10.9.3. Many features are grayed out. My whole content library being the most important. I can't even do any transitions.

    My iMovie's (10.0.5) "content library" is greyed out as well in the menu bar.  It does not even show up in the side bar.  The content library is still there in iMovie 9.  I recently updated Mac OS to Mavericks and iMovie updated itself.  I am using an iMac (post 2007).  I have tried a few things but to no avail yet.  I closed iMovie 10, started iMovie 9, let it re-establish stuff, closed iMovie 9, found iMovieUpdated (not exact wording) files in Finder under User:Movies folder, deleted them, then restarted iMovie 10.  I was hoping it would somehow reset itself, but no.  I then trashed iMovie 10, logged out and back in, and updated back to iMovie 10 through the App Store: Purchases.  No luck.  I fixed permissions - no luck.  Also, I am attempting to access the "content library" while in a project (not an event), since that is where I would expect it to show up and be useful.

  • How do I restore an old Iphone 3gs backup if it does not appear in the "restore backup" drop-down list?

    Hi
    Last night I tried to install ios 6.1.2. The install failed. I tried again and this time it recommended restoring the phone - I agreed and it worked, but after the restore was completed, I could not get out of the set-up assistant screens on the phone. It kept saying either connect to Itunes, or connected to Itunes - there was no conclusion of the set-up process.
    So again I chose to restore the phone - this time I got through the process and asked it to restore my last back up. It did so, but it turns out the back-up is empty. Looking at the time of the back-up, I think what happened is the phone  synced while it was stuck in the set-up assistant, and the old backup with all my data was overwritten with a new empty back up.
    If I use windows explorer I can see a back-up set from earlier in the evening that should contain all my data (6pm)  but when I look in iTunes that backup set is not available for selection in the "restore back-up" drop down list. Perhaps its only a partially completed backup, but at 1.55gb it sure contains a lot of valuable data. How can I make iTunes see or use the 6pm backup set?

    yes - sadly I think that's what happened. As the phone was connected, it was syncing and backing up automatically while I tried to complete the set-up process. So an empty back-up overwrote the full one. But the full back up is still there in the application data files - it must have done a back-up automatically before it restored the phone. So why can't I see it and use it in iTunes? Very frustrating!

  • I have an iMac and play games on facebook. When I need to request parts from "my neighbors" the list does not appear in the box. When I use my daughters pc it works fine. Recently I had a pop up for an upgrade but don't remember what it was for. How can I

    I have an iMAC  and when I am on Facebook my list of friends does not show up in the box for me to request gifts. I know this is a problem with my Mac because my daughter's PC shows it. I recently did the automatic upgrade thing but didn't pay attention what it was. When I did that it changed my desktop picture back to factory. Could this have something to do with it and more importantly what do I do about it?

    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.
