Where are photos in my album?

Hi,
Photos are not viewable in Album folder but they were in there just five minutes ago. This happend many times to me. I am using Aperture 3. There were pictures in the album but for whatever reason, they were not showing when I clicked on the album, just blank page. They are still in the main project folder whic I could view. I selected and dragged them back to the Album but they were not showing. I really hate this software, iPhoto is much mor userfriendly.
Secondly, how do I view photo information like: aperture, lens, camera etc..? I remember they used to show at the bottom right corner.

What type of album, regular or smart?
If smart then make sure the criterion for selecting for the album is still valid.
In both cases make sure you do not have a filter set that would prevent the images from being displayed (say filtering for 5 star images in an album that has none will result in no images being displayed)
To display metadata under an image go to the View->Metadata display menu. You can select the display of metadata here.

Where are photo meta files kept?

Where are the meta data files (if that is the correct term) kept for phots that are tagged, key worded, etc. in Phtoshop Elements 8. I screwed up my boot drive and had to re-install all programs. My photo dawere files are safe on another hard drive but I can't find any mycatalogfiles or equivalent on it nor in the image of my boot drive. Thanks for any assistance you all can provide.

The tags and other metadata are kept in the catalog file, and usually this is stored on the C: drive, unless you specifically moved it or created it on a different drive. For PSE8, the file name is *.pse8db. I do not know the default directory (maybe someone else can help), but you can use Windows to search for any file named *.pse8db (you might have to tell Windows to look in hidden directories). Good luck!
If you meant to say you had to re-format the boot drive (you didn't actually say that, but its sort of implied), then your catalog file and the tags and other metadata are gone. I hope you practiced safe computing and made a backup!

Where are photos stored after backup

I need to factory reset my iPhone 5 and was wondering if anyone could tell me where my photos are stored because I do not want to lose them in the process. I am working on a MacBook Pro.
I would love it if I could even acess them and put them on other devices (without iCloud).

You should be importing them to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.
The backup is only for use in restoring an iphone.

Transferring photos from ipad2 to mac - where are photos?

I took my ipad2 on vacation and used the camera connection kit (CCK?) to download my SD cards. (many people, many cameras)
I used iPhoto to transfer my photos to my mac but can't find them anywhere except within iPhoto.
On my pc, the photos are treated as individual files that you can move around, rearrange and duplicate.
Where are the individual photos on my mac? Finder shows the images in iPhoto Library, but I can't manipulate it at all.

You can export them out of iPhoto.

Dead laptop, hard drive safe, where are photos?

My laptop died. I have photos in LR that I didn't export. I have the hard drive from the crashed laptop connected to another computer. Where are the photos located in that hard drive?

Have you located your LR catalog file(s) and Previews folder on the old drive? You need to reinstall LR and move them over to the new hard drive, then you can find the last know location for the image files on the "old drive."

Where are photo & other types of files located in iOS 8

Can somebody please tell me where files are stored in iOS 8 ???
Why isn't there a Finder in iOS 8 like there is in OS X ???
I have photos (several hundred) that are stored on my old iPhone 4s, that are not in iCloud, that are more than 30 days old...I can see them in the Photo app on the iPhone, but when I connect to iPhoto or iTunes in OS X, they don't show up...
Why has Apple made it so difficult to do the simplest of things on my iPhone...look at and/or easily transfer files back and forth between my phone and my desktop.
I don't have the time to spend hours researching online to look through a bunch of redundant crap that doesn't actually answer my question.
Syncing is great, if you want that, but like me, not everybody wants or needs that...I would like to see an option for a manual selective file transfer between devices (phone, tablet and notebook/desktop), in addition to a file manager like Finder, in iOS, is that too much to ask.
Sharing everything with everyone is great, but even that has become a cluster*&^%^$&* because of the constant changes with every iOS upgrade and version.
If you're going to change things, please include detailed explanations about how and what those changes are and how they're different from before in the help/support areas. It seems like I see the same vague phrases and paragraphs in the supposed help areas, with not much help.

Hi Allan,
Thanks for the quick reply and thanks for the feedback link.
Do you know why I can't see the hundreds of photos stored on my old iPhone 4s, which I believe I had transferred most of via iTunes several years ago with either iOS 5 or 6, in the current iTunes or iPhoto ???
I find this very frustrating because I know they are located on the phone, or at least the data/metadata, is on there.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Where are photo file names?

I've "titled" many, many photos in iPhoto by changing the filename (e.g. "DSC_2254" --> "On vacation in Hawaii"), but there appears to be no option in Photos to show the filename. So none of my "titles" appear. Am I missing something?

Léonie,
As a further clarification, because this has huge implications for those of us that have "titled" thousands of photos in iPhoto, which are not carried over to the new Photos app:
Here is an example of a photo to which I edited the filename (D7K_2242) in iPhoto:
Note that the full title (which is actually the edited filename) appears in iPhoto.
Here is the same photo as it appears in Photos in the Moments view:
Here are my Metadata settings in Photos:
So..
--- Even when "titles" are turned on under Metadata
--- and when in the Moments view in Photos
The filename edited in iPhoto (="title") does not appear in Photos.
I have discovered one way to remedy this, but it is NOT a practical remedy when you have thousands of "titled" photos in iPhoto with lots of albums, etc.
--- In iPhoto: Select a photo, then: File -> Edit -> Export, with these settings:
Any other settings for Kind (e.g., Original) will result in the title not carried over to Photos. Here's how the above export looks in Photos:
As I said above, this is not a reasonable solution because among other things you can only export a file as a "jpeg" and not as an "Original", which was a "raw" file. So I guess off I go to report this as a "bug" to Apple.

Where are Photo Screensaver settings saved?

Hi,
I need to programatically change settings for the Photo Screensaver. The registry keys used in Windows Vista no longer apply in Windows 7. I tried using a folder with an uncommon folder name to point the Photo Screensaver to so that it would be easier to find in the registry. When I do a registry search, the folder name cannot be found. Maybe this is kept in a settings file somewhere instead of the registry?
We use a custom photo deck for our screensaver and it hasn't worked well to put it in the Pictures folder. You'll end up displaying personal photos along with the custom photos. I have been making a folder in Program Files and pointing the screensaver there.
The settings I would like to be able to change are:
Use pictures from: (you browse to the folder that contains your photos)
Slide show speed: (change the transition speed of the photos)
Shuffle pictures: (I would like to be able to check this box so the photos display randomly)
If anyone knows where to find these settings, it would be greatly appreciated if you could share the location of these settings.
Thanks,
Rob

#That string is encoded in Base64, without headers. There is a Windows API that encrypt binary arrays (the PIDL) to Base64, CryptBinaryToString. The dwFlags parameter should be set to CRYPT_STRING_BASE64.
#Our problem is the inverse, given a Base64 string (the encoded PIDL), get the decoded PIDL. There's an API for that, too!, CryptStringToBinary. The dwFlags parameter should also be set to CRYPT_STRING_BASE64.
#I think it is not hard to write a small program that uses those API's (and some more to get a "readable" path from the PIDL); ask in the MSDN forums to get directions if you get stuck.

Where are photos saved

i just upgraded from 10.4 to 10.6.3 and successfully imported all my old documents to a new machine. i'm wondering where the iphoto library is saved in iphoto 9. in my old version, in the pictures folder, there was an iphoto library folder with all my pictures there. now, when i browse my hdd in the finder, there is an iphoto library icon that is non-browsable.
when i look at a photo in iphoto and select "view in finder" then i can see the full ladder of folders within the iphoto library - but i am unable to do this when i am simply browsing in the finder.
can anyone provide any help.
thanks so much.

There are a number of OS services to access your photos -you should not be accessing them directly via the finder

Where are photo files physically stored on a Mac?

When using Photos, I have the option checked to Download Originals to this Mac. Now, how do I find my photos in Finder? I like to keep a physical backup as well as a copy in the cloud. I have about 100 photos on my iPhone. Plugged it in and told it to import new. But, I can't find anywhere that will tell me where it is stored on my hard drive.

I like to keep a physical backup as well as a copy in the cloud.
Two ways to do this;
1. Back up the Photos library to external:
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the 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
2. Just back up the Originals?
File -> Export -> Export Unmodified Originals will produce the images exactly as imported.

New Profile Layout - Where are photos located in the new layout

Photos are now located at the top of the Profile, to the right of the Display Photo. When viewing another user’s profile (Secondary Profile), this allows you to see who they are much more easily.
When viewing your profile (Primary Profile), an icon will display that reads, “Add Photos”. By clicking this icon, you will be taken to the photo upload page. Other users will not see this icon on your profile. If you have 6 or less photos on your profile, the photo area may seem a bit blank. Please upload more photos to complete your profile. Our research has shown that profiles with 6 or more photos receive two times the amount of messages! Also, we had previously given the option to display how many photos appeared on the profile. Now it is 5, plus the gallery link, with no option to change. This was done to show larger photos and remain consistent across profiles.
Please refer to the below screenshots for reference.

well Tagged, I really like the new clean look you have done well.I do have a couple of things to address, though. 1) Is there any reason why when signing in through yahoo browser, some features dont work. Like when i'm sending a comment to someone, will go through fine, but not if I add my own text, the comment does clear, period. However, if I use google, works fine, I personally do not like google and really use it rarely. So please...please....could you not configure so us people can all use these new features? 2) MORE GAMES!! I love being a member here, and 1 of the biggest reasons was because you did have some great activitys we could play. I spent much more time in here because of that. I am active in Pets/ Cafe/ and nothing left...except mafia wars...which back in the beginning I was playing very actively, but then you yanked it and moved it to FB, lol. I do not and never have had a FB account and when you made that move, I lost everything Id worked for to build my game up. Same thing with my Aquarium, it was so beautiful and I used it for relaxation as well as got great Pride with my creation, not to mention my cash Id invested in gold to make it awesome, just Gone?? Farmville was another Id worked very hard on......makes me sad. 3) And this is a big one and really needs to be looked at, to be fair to both sides. RACISM is old and a dying part of history we all need to move past of. I myself am in a interacial relationship, and seems to be getting to be more accepted and therefore should be allowed when sending comments. These pictures that I had tried to post in the past were not offensive sexually, no nudity, just 2 people in love. As soon as I posted, you took them out, and said it was because of any # of reasons in your write up, and yes racial descretion more or less was included. Yet!!! A few days ago, while I was on a run I got to see 1 picture quite often as that person was also in the run. This was a moving video of a female giving felito to a man and all that was visible to the eye, which was all of it, and really quite offensive. Yet you let members put up whatever, so id like an explanation as to why that it, please, for my family and many interacial couples that are paid members and being looked down on. SO.... my closing will be Thank you for the opportunity to be on this panel, Im being as honest as 1 can be, you want more members, get some going in here to attract them, GAMES!! I mean geezz, no more slots, and no more tabs, whats that about, lol...Any my good Tagged team, U wanted honest opinions, Im as honest as they come. THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH FOR THIS CHANCE TO SAY OUR PIECE, TAKE CARE.....

Where are photos in the Adobe Elements 10 Organizer backed up to?

When photos in Adobe Elements 10 Organizer are backed up, what part of my Mac are they backed up to?
I cannot find them anywhere.

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.

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.
