Where are my iPhoto albums in the screensaver

In 10.3 I could select specific iPhoto albums to use as screensavers under the system preferences. Now that I've upgraded to 10.4.3, I don't see the albums, I can only navigate to a folder. How do I get the albums to display?

Under the picture well, in Desktop & Screensaver window,I have a list of things to choose from, starting with Apple Images and so on. The last item in this list is Choose Folder, then there's a line, under that line is says Library, and if you scroll down past that. all your albums should appear.

Where are my iPhoto albums?

I cannot seem to locate my iPhoto albums when I need to attach pictures from there in an email or need to upload pictures from there to say, Costco Photocenter.
In my old Mac I found my albums following this path: User/jetteshears>Pictures>iPhotoLibrary>Album>2010 Prom.
In my new Mac there is no Album folder in my iPhotoLibrary folder when I open it from Pictures (user/jetteshears>Pictures>iPhotoLibrary. I found an Album folder under Metadata, but it was empty. I have created 4 albums in iPhoto with lots of pictures. I just cannot find them when I need to attach pictures from them.
Sorry, but I don't know the Mac terminology for what was Windows Explorer in the PC world. The schematic picture of where things are located on the computer. I seem to have a hard time finding my way around the Mac. Is there such a thing as a Mac Explorer?
I know my pictures are on this Mac. I want to send them to Costco to get them printed. Where are they?

There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 and later*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and later* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Where are deleted iPhoto albums from facebook on a Mac?

I uploaded 4 pics from my cousin Mac onto my facebok account, whyle doing so I sinc my fc account to iPhoto, all was just fine up to when my cousin deleted my albums from iPhoto deleting this way all of my 93 albums on facebook too. Would anybody know if my albums are recoverable from somewhere on his Mac, he had a look but only found the covers i.e. one pic for each album?

Problem solved.
I played with it some more and discovered that it was, indeed, passing the variable to the AppleScript script that was the problem. I was using "on run argv", which I read on some site earlier today as being how AppleScript handles arguments that are passed to it. More recently, however, I discovered that JavaScript uses an array pre-defined as "arguments" whenever AppleScript passes a variable to it. So, on a lark, I decided to try using "arguments" the other way 'round (I also had to add an extra set of quote marks on the "do script" line because AppleScript seems to save strings to variables without them:
set unlockedFile to item 1 of arguments
tell application "Adobe Acrobat Pro"
do script ("unlockCover(\"" & unlockedFile & "\");")
end tell
And that did it! I can now pass a variable all the way from the top-level JavaScript/ExtendScript InDesign code to the bottom-level JavaScript Acrobat code! YAY!

How do you import photos from the iPhoto library albums on the Mac to lightroom 5---i hit import but have no idea where to find iPhoto albums

how do you import photos from iPhoto albums on the mac to lightroom 5

Have you used the built-in migration plug-in? I'm not sure how LR handles iPhoto albums or events. there have been several reports indicating varying levels of success or otherwise, with import.
See my comments on this similar thread which also has a link to users comments on the LR journal blog.

Where are shared iPhoto streams stored?

Where are shared iPhoto streams stored? Is it on my phone, ipad, etc? Where does it take up space?

On the device that create the shared photo stream, and on every device that subscribes to it. They do not, however, use storage in your iCloud account.

I'm trying to place an order for 3 iPhoto Albums, but the system won't take the billing address. I'm in Costa Rica and will send the albums to an address in Miami. Can't find any support live chat for billing issues.

You need to use a credit card with a billing address in the same country as the delivery address. Since there's no Apple Print Store for Costa Rica I assume you're using the United States print store. Therefore you'll need a credit card with a billing address in the US.

HT1751 how do i move songs that are in separate albums into the same album?

how do i move songs that are in separate albums into the same album?

Of course it should, but if it doesn't do you want fix it or leave it broken? iTunes draws on the CDDB database for track details. That database is incomplete, contains errors, and isn't explicitly designed to be "iTunes friendly". If you download an album from the iTunes store then the tracks should normally be grouped together, although there are ways of sorting the Songs view that will always break things up. If you purchase from Amazon, elsewhere, or rip your CDs then you may sometimes need to make a minor update to the tags to tidy things up. Which workaroud is needed depends on context, but the most common one of setting an Album Artist takes a few seconds.

Switched from iPhoto to Aperture 3; where are my shared albums?

I've been using Home Sharing to share my iPhoto libraries across my home WiFi network between two Macs. The shared library disappeared after upgrading to Aperture 3 on my MBP and I can't find (or haven't found?) any reference to Home Sharing in the Aperture 3 manual. What am I missing? How can I get my library shared again? My library reappears when I launch iPhoto, but of course none of the work I've done in Aperture is reflected in the iPhoto albums. Thanks.

It may be that you have only switched to an empty Library. After quitting Aperture, hold down the Option key while clicking to launch Aperture again. Look at the choices of libraries it presents, and look for one with content, listing number of originals and versions.
Keep us posted.

HT5051 Where are my photo albums that were on mobile me?

So I got rid of my old MacBook pro in May,haven't replaced it till now was waiting to get the new Macbook, should be here tomorrow and been living off of the new IPad. Problem is during this waiting period they close mobile me on which I had thousands of pictures stored in albums. So my question is where did all those albums go? Can I find them somewhere on ICloud?

If you had these albums synced to iPhoto or Aperture the pictures may be in there. Otherwise, unless you had also stored copied of them elsewhere, all photos and indeed other files on your iDisk in MobileMe have been deleted and are not recoverable by any means.

Cannot photos that are in some albums in the library

Hi-
A while ago, I discovered that some of my old photos are still visible from the "Albums" but I cannot find them in the library surprisingly.
This is an issue as I have now switched to iPhoto'08 and would like to manage my photos in using the event function vs. creating albums for each events.
This is not caused by Leopard of iPhoto 08 as this problem surfaced before I up-graded the softwares.
Can someone help?
Thanks
Blero

My question is different (sorry if this wasn't clear). Why can I see a picture in the album but not on the general library folder in iPhoto (Source window)?
The answer to this is you can't, unless something has gone wrong.
All your pics are in the Library, the Albums are a subset of that. If a pic you've deleted from the Librayr is still visible in an album, then try Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

Where are my iPhoto files?

I have a basic understanding of iPhoto but am trying to learn more. Specifically I'm confused about where my actual photo files are stored. Say I have a single picture. Now when I import that picture from my camera it seems that 1 copy goes into iPhoto itself, while another copy goes into the "original" folder within the "iPhoto Library" folder on my hard drive. Ive tried deleting the picture from both of these locations, and neither seems to affect the other. I guess I want to know where iPhoto is "looking" when it brings up one of my pictures. If there is one file I DO NOT want to delete, which one is it, and where is it?
Also, on one of my experiments, I deleted a picture within iPhoto so that I could not see it anymore. Then, I looked back at the "originals" folder to see if it was still there and it was. Now I figure that I could just import that picture back into iPhoto since it is in a folder on my hard drive, but iPhoto wont let me stating that it is already in the iPhoto Library Folder. How do I get this picture back onto iPhoto so that I can see it? Thanks for any help.

The most basic thing about iPhoto is that it is a database and its successful operation depends on there being no changes made to the iPhoto library's structure or content - in other words do not ever do anything to the iPhoto library using the finder or any program except iPhoto. Making any deletions or changes may corrupt your library and cause you to lose data - they simply are no user serviceable parts in the iPhoto library
the structure of the iPhoto library is as follows - when you import a photo (assuming that you have the default settings) your photo is copied to the originals folder of the iPhoto library and a display thumbnail is made and placed in the data folder - when you make any edits of any sort a modified version is placed in the modified folder. There are also several database files that iPhoto updates so it can keep track of the photos and their attributes
To delete a photo you move it to the iPhoto trash in iPhoto and empty the iPhoto trash (iPhoto menu ==> empty trash)
If there is one file I DO NOT want to delete, which one is it, and where is it?
You do not want to delete or modify anything in the iPhoto library.
on one of my experiments, I deleted a picture within iPhoto so that I could not see it anymore. Then, I looked back at the "originals" folder to see if it was still there and it was
Did you empty the iPhoto trash?
If the photo is still in the iPhoto trash you can right click (control click) on it and restore it to the library prior to emptying the trash

HT5037 Images in my Iphoto albums show the wrong image what shall I do?

My Iphoto albums show a false image. Images are often assigned randomly from other image.

Flag the photos in the problem album and delete the album. Create a new album with the flagged photos to see if the problem persists.

Where are my photos saved on the i cloud?

where are my photos stored on icloud or why can I not see them in icloud?

Camera roll photos are stored in your iCloud backup, but cannot be seen without restoring the entire backup to your device. Photo stream photos can only be seen in the photo stream album on a device signed into your account with photo stream enabled. Photos cannot be seen on icloud.com.

Where are power options saved in the Windows registry?

The problem is that a customer IT department did something wrong during deploying GP preferences. Now nothing is working and we have to delete all settings, that the new GP preferences I newly created will work.
Now GP preferences is not working on 300 clients. I don't know what they have done. If we reinstall the clients, GP preferences (power settings) are working fine. They have only used GP preferences for power settings. No other changes before the problem started.
My senior manager told me to delete power options / settings in the Windows registry. So I can delete this?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\ControlPanel\NameSpace\{025A5937-A6BE-4686-A844-36FE4BEC8B6D}

Hi
Where are power options / settings from Windows 7 saved in the Windows registry? We deploy the energy settings via GPO’s.
Many thanks in advance
