Where are all my photos stored?

where are all my photoes stored?
and music btw. I am cleaning my drive and need to back up

Assuming the default setting, your photos are stored in the iPhoto Library, in your Pictures folder.
Same assumption with iTunes: The Music folder.

HT201317 I had my photo stream on and my icloud all set up, i just had the screen replaced and they somehow lost all the photos off my phone, but why wont the photo's reload back on to my iphone now that im connected to wifi again, where are all my photos

I had my photo stream on and my icloud all set up, i just had the screen replaced and they somehow lost all the photos off my phone, but why wont the photo's reload back on to my iphone now that im connected to wifi again, where are all my photos???

When photos are added to the photo stream album on a device (either due to a new photo having been taken or having been synced from another device using the stream) they remain in the album. However, the syncing process involves copying the photos to the photo stream server where they are kept for a maximum of 30 days, up to 1000 photos. If a device is reset or the stream is turned off or turned back on again (or in your case, the device was repaired), the photos that were on the device's photo stream album are gone and the only ones to appear are those that are currently on the servers (recall the 30 day limit).
If some of your photos are older than 30 days, then they are no longer stored on the cloud and hence are not synced down to the iphone.
Recall, photo stream is just a syncing service, it is not designed as a storage service for photos. Always sync photos to a computer for archiving.

I opened iPhoto and it opened as if i just bought the computer. Where are all my photos and how do I get them back?

I opened iPhoto and it opened as if I just bought the computer. Where are all my photos and how do I get them back? Luckily for the most part, I backed up photos on my flash drive, but I had just imported dozens of pictures from my phone. I reopen iPhoto soon after and the prompt asking how I would like to start iPhoto and all came up. I selected what brought me to the iPhoto I open up to every day only without any pictures.

Are you in the correct account that contains the iPhoto Library?
Did you ever move your iPhoto Library to an external drive? If so, and you disconnect this drive, iPhoto will create a new blank one in the pictures folder.
Check your computer to see if the "iPhoto Library" was accidently moved to the trash.
If you still can't locate your images, launch finder, and select "all images" in the source column. This will display all images on your computer. Be carefull not to delete, move or modify the images you see in this manner, as it will cause issues with good iPhoto Libraries, however it may help us locate where the images are.
Once you locate an image, click it once, then in the top menu bar, select "view / show path". This will display it's location along the bottom of the finder window.
Once you know where the image is, this should help you launch iPhoto to the correct library.

HT4436 Are all my photos stored in icloud? If so, how do I access them?

Are all my photos stored in icloud?
If so, how do I access them?

Photo stream photos can be accessed from an iOS device or computer that is signed into your iCloud account with photo stream enabled. On an iOS device, they are found in the My Photo Stream album inside the Photos app. On a Mac, they are found by selecting Photo Stream on the left sidebar in iPhoto. On a PC, they are found in your My Photos>Photo Stream folder.
Camera roll photos are stored in your iCloud backup, and can only be accessed by restoring the entire backup to your device.
You can also add your photos to a shared stream with the public website option enabled, and then view them on the web from any computer browser (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99).

I just purchased and downloaded Logic 9. I had Logic 8 previously installed. What the **** happened to my Logic 8. It's gone along with the sounds and my my G4 mastering Folder. And... where are all these sounds stored on my computer I can't find them?...

Very many thanks Niel. My problem solved in less than five minutes. I've never had to use that command before. I found the folder and copied it - but I'm still no clearer as to where it was!
Thanks again

Where are all the settings stored?

When working with Data Modeler users can setup a couple of preferences.
E.g. windows size and position on desktop but others as well.
Where are all these settings stored?
Is it a file or in Win Registry?
How can I backup these (current) settings?
In addition I want to copy them onto another Data Modeler installation on another computer and use them over there as well.
Do 32bit and 64bit version access the same settings values?
Thank you
Peter

Hi,
In Tools -> Preferences->Data Modeler there are import/export buttons.
Use export to create file and import it on another computer.

Where are all my photos you said had been moved

where are all my photos you said had been moved

If you had photos in Photoshop.com when the migration happened, then an account would be created for you on Revel using the same Adobe ID unless you had already created one.
Did you already have a Revel account when your files were migrated? If you did not, then the photos would move to <YOUR FIRST NAME HERE>'s library. If you already had an account with an existing library and photos, then migrated files would be moved to a library named "Photoshop.com library". To change libraries, use the menu on the upper left at adoberevel.com or go into Settings, if on an iPad or iPhone.
Please let me know if that helps.

Where are all the Apps Stored?

Where are all the apps I have purchased from the app store stored, on my PC? They do not appear in the Itunes folder where all the TV programs and music are.

They are in a subfolder named Mobile Applications. It will be a subfolder wherever you are running your itunes library database ITL file from.
On XP, the default path for that is
C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
(this is where the default ITL file is stored)
So your apps would be in this folder
C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\Mobile Applications

Where are all the Photo and Music files hiding?

When I "Get Info" for the Music folder in my Home directory it says that the folder contains 7,672 items taking up 34.87 GB of HD space. On the bottom of the iTunes window it says that iTunes includes 3,514 songs using 16.55 GB.
Similarly, "Get Info" for the Pictures folder in my Home directory says that it includes 24,989 photo files using 28.22 GB of space. However, on the bottom of the iPhoto window it says that there are 5,574 photos in iPhoto.
The question is, what are and where are all of these extra music files and photos?
The numbers quoted in the applications themselves look right. I don't have 7,672 tunes and I definitely don't have 24,989 photos.
I transfered the folders from my iMac to the Macbook Pro by connecting the iMac in Target Disk mode by Firewire. Is it possible that somehow I created many duplicate music and photo files? How do I eliminate the duplicates to free up HD space?
Thanks in advance for your help.

What Mac do you have? MacBook?
Version of iLIfe?
iPhoto stores and uses a package now for the iPhoto LIbrary which if you do get info and show package contents has your files and library you imported.
Might want to ask in iLife area too.

Where are all the photos after import?

I don't know where to begin. iPhoto has gotten worse and worse over the years, but unfortunately I have tens of thousands of photos in it going back decades.
The tipping point for me was after photo streams and extra syncing was added to iOS 5. After importing to iPhoto I simply don't know where all my photos are anymore.
The import process itself is all funny. Sometimes it seems to just import the photo stream - which doesn't include videos.
Sometimes it will import everything if I press Import again, but the numbers don't match the numbers of photos on my iPhone.
If I check latest import it doesn't match what was just imported.
If I select to delete photos on my iPhone after import it deletes some but not all of them.
I don't have any confidence anymore that the photos imported. And organizing them - forget about it. It's the worse mess I've ever seen. I can't find anything anymore.
It definitely doesn't "just work."
I would like to clear out the photos on my iPhone 4 because the camera has gotten slow and I read somewhere that having too many photos in the camera roll can slow down the camera operation itself. Is that true? That would be sort of dumb if true because the only way of making albums directly on your iPhone is to leave the original photos in the camera roll.
Is there anything better than iPhone I can use to organize all my photos?
Thanks,
doug

Well, I do like that Photostream syncs between my iPhone and iPad. What I don't understand is why the import into iPhone seems to sometimes have just Photostream events and then separately events sorted by date, but without the items that were imported into Photostream events.
Rather than turn off Photostream altogether, what would be nice is if I could just turn it off in iWeb. Is that possible?
I'm sorry my "finding and organizing" complaint sounds vague. It's hard to explain clearly because everything is so convoluted in iPhoto now.
Basically, it used to be that
(1) I could import and everything would be broken up into events by date;
(2) I could delete from my iPhone after import and everything would be deleted.
But (1) is not happening reliably. And neither is (2).
I just want to be able to organize my photos and find them. Even finding them in the current version of iPhoto got harder than it was in the previous version of iPhoto. It's just become a really confusing mess of a piece of software to use.
Right now the immediate problem, to attempt to be clearer, is that my imported photos and movies are not broken down by date-delimited events. The problem seems to be related to Photostream imports which confuse the normal event grouping process.
Thanks,
doug

Where are all the movies stored taking up lots of space?

According to About this Mac, Get info...my movie storage is over 100 gig but can't seem to find it anywhere on my computer? I've got about 20Gig in my Movies and Music folder but can't seem to see anything else anywhere. Where esle can I check?
Where do Mobile Applications get classified in About this Mac Get Info? Cuz I've got 26 Gig in there. And where do all the movies you take in iPhotos get stored? As part of Photos? Or Movies?

Thanks Macjack. So I've got 100 Gig in Dropbox in my user folder...I didn't think drop box would take up space on your computer? I tought I could transfer everything off my computer into dropbox, and delete everything in my computer folders that I transfered to dropbox? I tried to do this but everything disappeared in Drop box and my user folder. Must they be the same and is the information then duplicated?
So what I did was copied everything in my documents and my iPhoto library into dropbox. Then deleted everything in my documents folder (not iPhotos cuz that's still transferring over!) and after a day or two everything was gone from dropbox as well...luckily I had it all backed up and was able to bring it back. So is everything duplicated then? On my computer and drop box?
Sorry if this is all confusing...

Where are all my photos?

an iPhone 6 and got it all set up. Photo folder shows about 100 pics, but in settings under "about" it says 1500 photos. Where might these all be?
Grazie!

Still confused?
So all my photos should be saved in my camera roll?
They aren't so where have they gone?
I've had the phone just under 2 years and have taken photos off my phone about 4 times but I'm missing pictures I've taken inbetween this?

Where are all my events?

Where are all my photos from other events?
When I open iPhoto only the most recently imported event photos show, and there is no button to go to all events? Help!

It's not a problem with the application but probably with the library. Make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library 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.

Where should I store the collatoral files that are associated with photos stored in lightroom?

Where should I store the collatoral files that are associated with photos stored in lightroom? Items such as pdf files, word documents, etc. How should I connect them to each other so I can find both the photo and the related data?

Lightroom itself will not help you with pdf, word, etc.
However, there is a plugin you can use called AnyFile which will allow you to manage these documents in Lightroom (by assigning keywords and other metadata) so that you can search for all documents (photos, pdf, word, music, powerpoint, etc.) with given metadata.
Because you do this via metadata, it doesn't matter where you put these files. Put them anywhere you want.

Where are all of my photo albums?

I just updated my computer & found that Iphoto is now gone & that Photos has replaced it. Where are all of my photo albums that I spent so much time organizing in Iphoto now? I can't find them anywhere in Photos. It's a very badly, designed system!

Hi Eric,
Thank you for taking the time to respond.
I have a time capsule doing automatic backups on my iMac. I would not know which date to restore from as I just happened to notice the missing mail when I went to look for one of the old messages.
I tried your suggestion of checking the Mail/V2 files in finder, but it did not work. There are messages there, but they too only go back a year.
If you have any other suggestions, please let me know.
