Because you haven't read any book on iPhoto, or consulted iPhoto's Help. If you had, you'd have found this:
Importing: Copy items to the iPhoto Library
This preference is turned on by default. When you import photos from a hard disk, iPhoto copies (duplicates) the photos to the iPhoto library and uses the copies. The original photos remain untouched in their current locations.
If you have an extensive collection of photos on your computer and you want to keep your current file organization, you can have iPhoto point to your original photo files instead of importing them into your iPhoto library. To have iPhoto access your photos from their current locations on your hard disk (rather than making copies of them), deselect this checkbox. Note that if you edit one of these images in iPhoto, the edited version is saved in the iPhoto library and the original file remains untouched.
If you turn off this preference, be sure not to move the photos from the location from which they were imported. If you move the files, your iPhoto library won’t work correctly.
they must be filed/stored/saved somewhere.
Sure. They're stored in /dev/null.
It is incomprehensible
Do you want the facts, or do you want to argue?
What possible purpose could this have, I'd really like to know...
Ask someone who has 50GB worth of photos on his hard disk and wants to organise them with iPhoto if he's interested in using up an additional 50GB for the privilege.

I'm now using iPhoto '11 (9.3.2), and none of the photos in my library will enlarge. I can view them all as thumbprints, but when I click to enlarge just a black, blank space shows up. Occasionally, one will enlarge for a second, then disappear. Help!

Just to clarify, I am not getting an "!" mark in a triangle, as I read others have experienced. The screen is just blank except the grey flag in lefthand corner to flag the photo.

So I keep trying to sync music to my iPhone from iTunes, and whenever I select the album the sync goes by really fast and nothing goes onto my phone. Then when I click "On this iPhone" it shows the songs, but they're grey, and I can't click on them. Help?

Ok, sorry. And yes, I just restored my iPhone as new and tried to put all the songs on there before I even restored with my previous backup, but it still does the same thing... even when I just checked the option to sync only "selected music or videos". How's that possible?
P.S. After I tried syncing with checked songs only, nothing showed up under Music on my phone and this message popped up in iTunes: "The iPhone "..." could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish." If you could, please tell me what that means, thanks.

ITunes or iPhoto do not appear when I click the music or photo icons

I wish to add music & photos to my production in iMovie. But when I click the music or photo icons, iTunes and iPhotoe do not appear in the boxes that open. I can have them open in another window and drag them in, but this is not what is supposed to happen, what can I do ?

Do you mean you have checked the box: "Always use private browsing mode"? If so, it's intentional that the private browsing icon isn't displayed as we didn't want Firefox to be showing everyone within view that you're using private browsing mode IIRC.
There are some easy things you can do to confirm that you are in private browsing mode such as visiting a new website and then confirming it doesn't appear in the history window.

Over the years I have upgraded Photoshop numerous times. When I click on Start, Programs is shows I have CS4, CS5 and CS6 installed. If all three are installed, doesn't this eat up a lot of hard drive space? If so, can I uninstall CS4 and CS5 and still have CS6 function properly? Note - I am running the Windows 64-bit versions. Thanks in advance for your help!

Ravi,
Will you please clarify how you recommend I uninstall CS4 and CS5? Should I uninstall them through Windows or if I deactivate them while the program is open will that uninstall them?
Sincerely,
Randy Ballinger

Make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) 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.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
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.

Dear ED3K:
First: I hope you don't work for Apple as you have some poor communication skills in assistance. That said, I would never in a million years pay you 45 dollars to help me. I think I would sleep with Satan first!!
No one here works for Apple. This is a user-to-user technical support forum. Everyone here is a volunteer. You tend to get from this forum what you bring to it. If you come in ranting and raving and saying you're going to throw your iPhone out the window and that Apple is mean, people are not likely to respond to you with sweetness and light and puppies and kittens.
If you really want help, I'd suggest you take a deep breath and then start a new thread in which you explain the problems you're having, the steps you've taken to resolve the problems, any error messages you've gotten. Stick to the facts. Check the attitude and emotion at the door. People will do their best to help you.
Best of luck.

How can i remove items from list that have been deleted when i click on them it keeps showing empty

how can i remove items from the list that have been deleted when i click on them it keeps showing folder empty

Actually, Reader SHOULD keep showing documents that no longer exist, I disagree. It's no big deal, and people will quickly realise why they can't open the file. They open more files, the old ones move off.
The REASON why it should not check is that checking whether a file exists can take a long time when things aren't good. For instance if a file server goes down, or a memory card is unplugged. That in turn would mean delays opening the File menu, and I've seen some software that can sit there for several minutes. That would really give people something of which to complain...

Im trying to put music on my iphone. when i click music all it says is "itunes match is on" and only lets me click a box that says "sync voice memos" what do i do

Im trying to put music on my iPhone, when i click music all kt says is itunes match is on and has a box for me to click sync voice memos nothing else what do i do

Correct. When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box. This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing.
You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands. It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
10.6 software is not downloadable. You must purchase a DVD disc. You can order it from the on-line apple store

All stacked photos show on iPad/iPhone

Has anyone worked around this?
I stack images in Aperture. I set the pick to be the result of several images and several versions. Unfortunately, on the iPad/iPhone, ALL the photos show. All the physical and virtual versions are there for all to see.
Aside from separating the pick from the others and only including the pick in an album, is there any other way to not display all photos on the iPad/iPhone?

BRILLIANT!
I'd like to thank all three of you looking, testing and responding. It appears the correct answer for me is to use the Stack Pick option in each smart album under Aperture.
I thought the problem was more pervasive, but after running several tests, that's what it was. I do still see some duplicate photos, but it appears to be unrelated to stacks. I do have photos showing on the "photos" tab, and I cannot figure out where they're loading from, but that's another issue.
I would have never though to look there, so I very much appreciate the help. I love Aperture and how configurable it can be. I'm glad someone was able to figure this out.

HT1904 I cannot access iTunes on my iPad. When I click the iTunes button, it shows terms and conditions and when I click the terms and conditions link, it takes me to the Internet and that is it. Kindly help.

I cannot access iTunes on my iPad. When I click the iTunes button, it shows terms and conditions and when I click the terms and conditions link, it takes me to the Internet and that is it. Kindly help.

If you are just seeing the Terms and Conditions link in the Downloads tab then that just means that there aren't any downloads waiting. If you want to browser the store then can are you not able to tap on the other tabs at the bottom of the app ?
If you are looking for your downloaded and synced content then they won't be in the iTunes app (that is just the store) - your music, audiobooks and audio podcasts will be in the Music app and your films and tv shows in the Videos app.
