Where are Library Pictures

I'm trying to understand how Aperture places photos. I imported my iPhoto Library and images from camera. No images are in my library, is that normal? Instead, images are placed in projects and folders. I thought projects and folders would reference images in the library, much like iPhoto or iTunes (such as playlists).
If I import a few photos from camera I don't want a project but I do want images available for future projects.
I've set my library location to a second hard drive. Initially, the library was set to the default. Once I imported my iPhoto library I moved it to a second hard drive and set it as my library location. Could this have caused my problem of images not showing up in the library?

Patrick,
Aperture stores all of its images in projects. They are part of the library and you can have as many as needed. You can also have albums, folders, books, etc. within the projects to keep everything contained. It's possible and quite easy to create a very well organized hierarchy of your photo collection. This is a different concept than iPhoto but works well once you get used to it. The photos in projects are similar to rolls in iPhoto as deleting one from the project will remove it from the library and other place it's used (albums, books, etc.)
You can still view all photos in the library using the built-in views at the top of what was considered the source pane in iPhoto.

  • Where are the pictures of screensaver "National Geographic"

    I like the pictures of screensaver "National Geographic", I want to use one of them as my desktop background. But when I go to System/Library/Screensaver, I don't see a folder named "National Geographic". And I searched all the pictures in the Screensaver folder, I didn't found any pictures which are displayed in sreensave mode. Can anybody know where are those pictures saved?

  • Where are the pictures found in the Adobe Photoshop 10 organizer?

    Nov. 29, I had my computer repaired from a trojan, & I figured out that everything i've done since Sept. 13th was gone because when the computer guy was fixing it, he tried to put in the new MicroSD card reader, but he had to put an old one back in (from Sept.) as the new one had wrong connections.
    Then, when he started the PC he only had the C drive (& my documents and pictures are on the A drive). He turned it off and realized he accidentally disconnected one of the mirror hard drives for Drive A. He had to turn it off and open it again and reconnect the cable that was disconnected.
    During that moment perhaps a line in the drive had become corrupted. So, I restored through Carbonite, hoping I'd get back almost everything (or at least whatever was done being backed up). However, I lost quite a few pictures.
    Tuesday, however, I noticed that the pictures I lost were imported into the organizer for Adobe Photoshop 10, which is on the C drive, so I'm hoping the pictures are still there, even if they are thumbnails (I assume they would be)! But where are the pictures found in the Adobe Photoshop 10 organizer? I assume in a folder somewhere? Am I able to copy them? (A low quality image, is better than no image!)

    The thumbnail cache is separate and lives in the system files.
    You could try a new catalog - it doesn’t involve any duplication.
    Click: File >> Catalog
    Click the New button
    Give your catalog a name e.g. My Catalog2 (or whatever you prefer)
    Check the box Import Free Music - that will bring in the Adobe MP3 tracks used in slideshows
    Then click OK
    When the new blank catalog opens click: File >> Get Photos and Videos >> From Files & Folders
    Navigate to your root folder (normally Pictures or My Pictures or wherever you put your photos) then press Ctrl+A to select all sub folders or make sure the checkbox is marked.
    Click Open or Get Media
    Wait for Elements to complete the import, accept all keyword suggestions (select all) and then wait for thumbnails to finish generating.
      N.B. You may not get all the metadata (keywords etc) but in view of the problems you have had it may be your best hope.

  • HT5622 Some pictures in my iCloud show up blank on my ipad.... But it says I have zero pics on my iPhone... Where are my pictures?

    Some pictures in my iCloud show up blank on my ipad.... But it says I have zero pics on my iPhone... Where are my pictures?

    Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there (subject to a 1,000 photo limit) until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
    The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.
    The problem I see is that the photos aren't on your phone and you won't be able to get them from the cloud because they are over 30 days old.
    As for your iPad it sounds like they might be there, but you have encountered some sort of corruption. The problem is you can't turn photo stream off and on again to reset it, because you would lose what ever you have (even though they are corrupt) and they can't be recovered from the cloud.
    The only suggestion I have is to try restarting the iPad.

  • Lost all pictures in iPhoto.....where are the pictures?

    My MacBook is new to me and I have put hundreds of pictures in iPhoto.   I opened my computer one day and all photos in iPhoto are gone.    Where are the picture and how are they returned to iPhoto?

    Sorry with that amount of information no one can even guess
    What version of iPhoto? Of the OS? what happens when you launch iPhoto? What changes did you make just before this occured - new software - disk clean up ???

  • HT204053 Where are my pictures on ICLOUD???

    The only pictures currently stored in iCloud are in Photo Stream, accessible from Photos on the iPhone, or iPhoto on a Mac.

  • HT5824 Where are my pictures on icloud?

    Where are my pictures on my cloud?

    You can't veiw photo stream photos on icloud.com if that's where you are looking.  You can only see them on iOS devices/computers that are signed into your account with my photo stream enabled.
    If you want to see them on the web, add them to a shared stream with the public website option enabled (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99).  This will give you a private url to view them on the web from your computer browser.

  • Around the web where are there pictures of how you insert a disc?...

    Around the web where are there pictures of how you insert a disc?... into a 27 inch iMac 3.2GHz Intel Core i3

    I can see this happening sometimes. Especially if someone is mainly used to working with power macs; most of which have a dvd tray/s as opposed to slot loading mac computers.
    @ Bengt Wärleby .... good point regarding the use of mini dvd's most of which can easily be used with modern burners and dvd-rom drives that use a tray.
    Slot loading macs work well with a full size / standard dvd or CD only.

  • Iphoto where are my pictures

    where are my pctures? i imported from iphone. i see no folder called iphoto library in (can't)finder, and i want to copy these photos onto a thumb drive.

    You should never go directly into the iPhoto library for any reason. There is no reason to and it is dangerous
    To put photos on a thumb drive launch iPhoto and export them to a desktop folder, mount the thumb drive and drag the folder to it

  • HT4528 where are my pictures in the cloud how do i get them back

    how to get pictures back on my iphone 5 where are they

    If you setup iCloud and turned Photo Stream on, you can view them on other devices that have Photo Stream enabled.
    See this Apple doc for more info -> iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    When do photos upload to My Photo Stream?
    When you enable My Photo Stream on your devices, all new photos you take or import to those devices will be automatically added to your photo stream.
    On an iOS device, new photos you take will be automatically uploaded to your photo stream when you leave the Camera app and are connected to Wi-Fi. Note: My Photo Stream does not push photos over cellular connections.
    On your Mac, any new photos you import to iPhoto or Aperture will begin uploading automatically when you have a Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. Or, you can change your iPhoto or Aperture preferences so that only photos you manually add to My Photo Stream are uploaded.
    On a PC with iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later, open a Windows Explorer window. Select Photo Stream under Favorites. Open My Photo Stream. Click the "Add photos" button. Select photos to import to My Photo Stream, and then click Open.
    You can get them to reappear on your iPhone by restoring it from backup or by re-enabling iCloud and the Photo Stream.

  • Where are my pictures in the backup made by Time Machine?

    In the Finder I can find my pictures after right-clicking IPhoto and then under Originals. But when I open Time Machine and want to check if my data have been backuped correctly I can find my music and documents but not my Pictures. Where can I find them?

    where is the Time Machine forum?
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1342
    So I need to find my pictures in Time MAchine. But where oh where?
    those back ups are not designed to be surfed via the Finder.
    To restore using TM open TM in the dock - this gives you a finder view of your backup files and go back in time to the time you want to restore - select the iPhoto library and click restore - choose to keep both files and restore to a different location so as not to overwrite your current iPhoto library
    You can also browse and restore individual photos in iPhoto using the file menu ==> browse backups
    You can not do it except by using TM either directly or via iPhoto

  • Where are my pictures located so I can backup?

    I want to copy my pictures in iPhoto over to another drive for backup but I am unsure where they are located. I know I have my Originals and Modified, but that seems like a pain to go into each of my rolls in both folders and copy the files over. Does the Originals have ALL of the photos and the modified has a copy of them (modified)? I am looking for the easiest way to get all the photos (or at least the originals) and copy them off.

    yarzy
    The best thing to do is to copy the entire iPhoto Library Folder to the other drive. That way you get the picrues, your edited ones plus the files needed to restore your entire library at once.
    There is never a need to dig the photos out of folders for backing up: Folders take up no space, so you save nothing, it's the contents that take up space. A Roll is just a special kind of folder.
    A Note about the iPhoto Library Folder:
    In this folder there are various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you have three folders
    Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
    (ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
    This allows the Photos -> Revert to Original command - very useful if you don't like the changes you've made.
    (iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
    And remember: It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss
    So my best suggestion is Back up the entire iPhoto Library Folder.
