Where are my photos from Iphoto?

I recently opened Iphoto only to find that all my pictures are no longer there. My Library has gone from 11Gigs to 7 Mbs. I've considered rebuilding my library as suggested on other discussions but have no means of making a back up as I can't locate any of my pictures. I don't understand how or where they would have been relocated on my hard drive as they aren't in the trash either. I have iphoto version 7.6. I have no back up of the pictures and really hope all is not lost.
The only thing I've done differently recently would be that I was copying files from an event onto my desktop for easy locating during final cut pro editing that I was about to do, I stopped the transfer shortly after I had started it due to the selecting of the wrong event. Closed Iphoto and re-opened it and nothing was there.
Any help will be appreciated

My Library has gone from 11Gigs to 7 Mbs.
There are no photos in that Library. Any chance you have a second Library somewhere on your mchine?
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' It will list all the Libraries it finds.

Where are Shared Photos from iPhoto in iTunes?

So I open iPhoto, select a photo, choose share to iTunes. iPhoto says it is transferring the photo to iTunes. However, when I look in iTunes, I cannot figure out where I am supposed to see the file I transferred.
Anybody know how this is supposed to work?
I'm running the latest everything ...

Thanks, it wasn't all that intuitive in iTunes, sinc e you have to scroll down to see it.
A little confused about what happens after I saved it to my Mac.
The file still shows up in the sharing pane, and there seems to be no way to get rid of it. How exactly does this work? Was the file actually transferred to iTunes from my phone, or is iTunes only transferring it to my Mac when I choose to save it to my Mac? If the latter, then the items in the sharing pane of iTunes are essentially aliases, but how do I delete them from the list once I downloaded them?
Thanks.

Where are my photos? iPhoto library hides them AND renames the folders

I recently upgraded to Lion OS and can no longer see my photos and videos in Finder. A search shows that they are all in a dir that is actually an iPhoto library. Bizarrely it has been given the name of the first lot of photos that I imported in to iPhoto from a flash drive - so all of my photos are "packaged" inside a file called "mom's photos"!!!. In Finder it appears as a data item - NOT as a folder - the contents of which can be seen by clicking "Show Package Contents". Inside this "package" is the directory tree that Get Info shows is the path for a photo file. The photos have been arbitrarily put in to directories called "Modified" and Originals within which they have been stored in folders with year names ("2003", "2006", etc) that have no connection to the date the photos were created or their file names.
Is this considered to be progress by Apple? How can I work with my files independently of iPhoto or iMovie (raw video being also inside the iPhoto library "package")? How can I reverse the renaming of the folders? Can I rename the iPhoto library to a default name - such as "iPhoto Library" for example!
Any pointers on how to deal with this new regime for handling photos and video will be welcome

It's really very simple.
If you want to manage files, use a file browser.
If you want to manage photos, use a Photo manager like iPhoto.
No version of iPhoto has supported the user accessing the files via the Finder. None at all. In versions 1 to iPhoto 6 it was possible to view the contents of the library, but accessing was not supported. Making changes within the iPhoto Library was not supported. Renaming files and folders corrupted the Library.
So, with iPhoto 7 (released in the autumn of 2007) the library was moved into a package to protect it from Users making these changes.
How the files are stored simply doesn't matter. Why? Because everything you need to do can - and should - be done via the iPhoto application. It's a database, after all, and like any db requires that you manipulate the data via the app itself, not a back door.
iPhoto is your go-to app for anything you need to do with your Photos. You simply never access them via the Finder.
So, you can edit either with iPhoto - or in any other app: You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Or, you want to access your photos for any reason at all:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: 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.
(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:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. 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 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
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.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: 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. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
All of the above are a: faster and b: safer than rooting around in the old library folders.
I know it's a change but you'll get used to it. And, of course, if you don't, you can always use another app.

I recently upgraded to Mavericks and now don't have access to iphoto. I cannot find my iphoto library to back the photos up before upgrading the iphoto but see the photos when I try to change screensaver? Where are my photos so I can back them up?

The iPhoto library should be in your user folder/Pictures unless it was moved.

Where are my photos? just tried to access time capsule after my first back up and am unable to open iphoto to verify they were backed up.

You can't open your backups directly with apps.
But you can see some types of files in your backups. If you're still on Snow Leopard (or Lion with iPhoto '09 or earlier), see the gray box at the end of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #15.
If you're on Lion with iPhoto '11, you can use the Finder to see the iPhoto library, per the beginning of that same link. All you can see there is the library and size.

Iphoto Library is a time machine back up!!!! Where are my photos??

Please help. Yesterday I opened Time Machine for the first time and set it up to do my backups. I then went to open iphoto (12 hours later) and I got the error message "The iphoto Library is a time machine back up, and so cannot be used as the main library". How can I get iphoto to work again and where are my photos??? Thanks in advance.

Is it possible that iPhoto is pointing to the wrong iPhoto Library file? First verify that you have a file called iPhoto Library in your pictures folder. Next, while launching iPhoto hold down the option key. You will be prompted to locate your iPhoto Library file (or to create a new library). Make sure that your iPhoto library shows up, and that it's located in your Pictures folder and not somewhere else. Select the iPhoto Library and choose it.
To make sure that your pictures are still in the iPhoto Library file you can hold the control key down while clicking on the iPhoto Library file. If you choose the 'Show Package Contents' option you will be presented with a list of folders. If you open up the folder titled 'Masters' you will see another list of folders by year. Digging deeper you should find your pictures in additional folders listed by month/day/roll. At a minimum this should help you confirm that your pictures are still intact.
If you continue to have issues you might need to give Apple a call. I have successfully used Time Machine for several years without any issues.

Where are my photos saved, how to archive photos

Hello,
currently I had imported photos from a camera to my MAC by using iPhoto import and event functionality. Now I would like to backup my photos by using rsync. But I can not find my photos as files on the disk.
Where are my photos saved?
I am a new MAC user with some expirience in Unix qnd Linux.
Thank you in advance
Bernhard

Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

Where are my photos on the PC after sync with an iphone? I know nobody out there is stupid enough to suggest to me that they are encrypted and inaccessible, right? Seriously? How stupid would Apple corporation have to be to do something like this?

Where are my photos on the PC after synching with an iphone? I know nobody out there is stupid enough to suggest to me that they are encrypted and inaccessible, right? Seriously? How stupid would Apple corporation have to be to do something like this? That would be just as foolish as making my music unusable on the PC...
Okay, Let's assume that Apple is indeed THAT foolish.......How does one get the photos from the phone to the PC and still use them?

The photos are still on your phone, and if enabled in your Photo Stream. They are not automatically transferred to your computer when syncing.

Switched from iphone 4 to iphone 5 - where are my photos?

I switched from iphone 4 to iphone 5 - where are my photos?

Did you have them backed up anywhere? If not, they are most likely still on your iPhone 4. If you back them up to the cloud or to your computer, you could then place them on your new phone if you wanted.

HT201317 where are the photo's in icloud?

I am in my icloud on a pc
signed in etc.
Where are the photo's that are supposed to be in icloud

You can't view photo stream photos on icloud.com. They can only be viewed on an iOS device or computer that is signed into your account with photo stream enabled. To set this up on your PC, see http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html. Note: when you first enable photo stream on your PC you will only get photos from the last 30 days as older photos are no longer in iCloud.

Where are my photos in icloud

Went on iCloud.com but cannot find my photos. Have 1000 photos in the cloud via my iPod, but can only see 500 on my apple TV and NOT the latest one. On iCloud.com I see not a single one - where are my photos?

Sorry I am too stupid for this.
Via Apple TV I see photos from March this year and they have been in the cloud since then!
Via iPod and iMac I see photos from April should they not disappear after 30 days as they will only be "stored" for 30 days. And why such chaos, different devices with different photos but the same cloud. If pictures will only be stored for 30 days everything should be easy. This is the reason why I tried to see what is going on my cloud.

Where are my photos located?

Where are my photos from PSE 9 located; in what file can I find them. I am making a slide show using ProShow Gold 4 and I need to access my photos from PSE and move or copy and paste them into the slide show, but I cannot find what file they are located in.
Thanks,
Craig

Your pictures could be anywhere, some might even be on a remote disk. Right-click on a thumbnail in the Organiser and select Properties at the bottom of the Popup Menu. In the popup window that appears the file location will be shown, clicking on the folder will open it in the Explorer.
Alternatively: in the Organiser make a selection of all the photo's you want to include in your slideshow. Then select File => Export and save to a convenient (temporary) location. This way you'll have all the photos in 1 location ready for import into your slideshow.

HT1766 Where are my photos that I backed up from my IPhone?

Where are my photos that I backed up from my IPhone on my mac computer?

You import the pictures from the phone. Windows has a built in utility to import pictures from a digital camera, or in this case the iPhone. It doesn't import from the backup, it imports them directly from the iPhone. You can go into Control Panel and click on AutoPlay to configure what happens when you plug in a digital camera or the iPhone. Otherwise, there are programs like Lawrence has described.
