Where are RAW files kept in iPhoto?

I just recovered a bunch of photos from an SD card I accidentally erased. (Eh, they were just my 17-month year old's first Christmas Eve with Santa, no big deal, right?) Thankfully, I was able to recover them using a utility called CardRaider. (Worth every friggin' cent of the $17.99 it cost me.) But now I have a folder full of NEF files, which are the RAW images. I'd like to keep them with all the rest of my iPhoto files, but I can't seem to track them down. Where can I stash these files to keep them with the other thousands of RAW files I have?

What version of iPhoto?
Assuming that you have a default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state) then all of your imported photos are copied bit for bit into th eiPhoto library and can be accessed at any time by exporting them with kind = original
To see your RAW photos make a smart album with kind = RAW

Upgrading imovie 9 to 10 - where are the files kept?

Hi
I am considering upgrading to iMovie10 and have been reading about users experiences on this forum. One question I ahve not been able to find an answer to is about what actually happens to the video data on upgrade.
I currently have my video event sand projects stored across two places - a) some on my iMac hard drive and b) some on an external Hard Drive. The reason for this is that I have almost 800GB of video data in all. My internal HD is only 500gb and is 80% full. The external HD is 1TB and is used exclusively for storing imovie9 events and projects that I am not currently working on. It is about 70% full. When I create new projects in imovie 9, I move the events I want from the external HD to the internal HD and then put them back when I have fiished. I do all of this moving from within imovie, as recommended, so that imovie9 knows where the events are related to the various projects I create.
I think I understand that when I upgrade to imovie10, a brand new folder called "imovie library" will be created and all my events and projects will be COPIED into that, leaving the orginal data still theer in case I want to use iMovie9 with it.
My questions are:
1) if the data is copied in this process, I assume I will need capacity to store another 700GB of data. As I do not currently have this spare disk space across my internal and external drives, what will happen when I try to ugrade?
2) Will the upgared try to create two imovielibrary folders - on on each Hard Drive - and create copies of the data held on each drive within each new library?
3) Will I still be able to edit my old projects within imovie10 once they have been updated in to imovie10, or will I need to use imovie 9 for that?
4) Will all my events still be stored in a year by year structure within imovie 10 like in imovie9, so I can easily manage and find the clips I want from the data I have saved over the last 10 years?
5) WIll I still be able to see where the events are (internal disk or external disk) liek I can in imovie9 by selecting the "disk view" in teh browser panel?
Many thanks

1) iMovie 10 and iMovie 9 hard link to the same original files, provided they are on the same hard drive so you will not need much extra space unless to create iMovie 10 libraries on different HDs than the corresponding iMovie 9 Projects and Folders folders. You will have to be careful about this.
2) A good question. I would not try upgrading from both diska at the same time. I would disconnect the external hard drive first and upgrade the projects on your internal HD first
3) Yes you will be able to edit them in iMovie 10. You may find a few things have changed and need adjusting.
4) No, they will be bundled together in no easily understandable order. This is one of the negative aspects of iMovie 10. The best way around this is to create separate libraries for example for each year.
5) There is no disk view. You can reveal an event in Finder to see where it is (projects are in events in iMovie 10
I would try just updating one project and its associated events at first (by hiding the rest temporarity in an enclosing folder so they are not seen by iMovie).
You can then evaluate how you feel about iMovie 10 before you go further. This is what I did.
Hope this helps,
Geoff.

Where are Theatre files kept locally in iMovie?

Hi people,
i've shared a video to the Theatre and have the upload to cloud automatically enabled.
I'm trying to keep a lid on storage at the moment so am interested to see where the files live. I've deleted the original project and event, turned
off WiFi and restarted iMovie.
I'm surprised to still be able to play the movie from the Theatre. So I guess it's being stored locally somewhere. If I Show Package Contents for my iMovie library, it's not obvious it's there. It can't be streaming from iCloud because WiFi is off.
Any experts out there? I'm using iMovie 10.0.3
Jeff

When you share to Theater you create copies of the movie at several different resolutions to suit different playback devices as well as sending them to iCloud. Unless you really want this you may find it better to uncheck share to theater and simply save your movies to a disk location of your choice at the native resolution. This will reduce storage space as well as making sharing faster.
Geoff.

Mac Server OS 10.2.8 How long are log files kept and where?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Where are log files kept on Mac OS 10.2.8 server?
Where do I look?
There is a user who keeps logging onto the server and
somehow modifies a file he does not have access to.
Thanks!
Tim

Different files are kept for different times, but the system-wide logs are basically in two places: /var/log/ and /Library/Logs Each user also has a ~/Library/Logs folder that mainly just deals with applications issues for that user.
If you suspect a user is fiddling too much, the last command can produce some interesting output.
You may also want to double check the user's numerical UIDs, since the machine just cares about the number, the "name" is only for human conveniencs.

HT2500 Where are the files of past mail kept in the Mail program.

I want to do an additional backup of my email on Mail. Where are the files of stored past mails kept? In the same Mail.app?
Thanks
Gil

Hi Gil,
On Mail...
First Quit Mail, then I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
(Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist

Where are my files in finder?

Where are all my pictures in iPhoto's files located in Finder?

Your iPhoto image files are stored in your iPhoto libary, a package, that is managed by iPhoto and by default stored in your Pictures folder.
To see the image files in the Finder, select a photo in iPhoto and use the command "File > Reveal in Finder". But remember, that you must not modify or move the photos using the Finder in any way, once they have been imported to iPhoto. Otherwise you will corrupt the library.

Where are the files for the Backups that show up in About This Mac - Storage?

Where are the files for the Backups that show up in About This Mac - Storage?
My new Macbook Pro 13 retina has 1TB flash drive. But despite my TimeMachine being in a TimeCapsule my Macintosh HD shows 277 Gb of space has Backups. What is this for? How can I delete it?

OS X Lion and newer Mac OS X versions create local snapshots in portable Macs if Time Machine is enabled. See > http://pondini.org/TM/30.html
You don't have to worry about. They are stored in a kind of volume named "MobileBackups", but they appear as stored in your hard drive. To delete them, open System Preferences > Time Machine, and turn off Time Machine. Then, turn it on. However, you don't need to delete them, as they will be deleted when your hard drive gets full

SYSLOGD gone wild - where are the files?

Hey all,
Yesterday I had 15GB of free HD yesterday, it told me today that I was down to 100MB.
Confused - because I haven't added any files, I check the activity monitor and found that SYSLOGD was running, and using an absurd amount of processor and disc access.
I searched on it, and it seems to relate to Time Machine, which I'm not using.
SO... I rebooted, and now it's not running any more. BUT - the hard disc space is still gone, and I don't know where the files are that I need to delete to free it up.
I've loaded a disc scanning utility to try to find where a new 15GB file might be hiding, but I'm thinking it's in the hidden area of the disc.
QUESTION 1 : Where are the files SYSLOGD wrote and how can I delete them?
QUESTION 2: What made it run, and how can I keep it from happening again?
Thanks!

If you're looking for trash sounds, those are located in /System/Library/Components/CoreAudio.component/Contents/Resources/SystemSounds/ . If you're wanting to change the put stuff in trash and empty trash sounds, then follow these steps.
Convert your sounds to aif, save them in some convenient location.
Replace the two sound files *"move to trash"* and *"drag to trash"* inside the Finder and Dock folders, respectively, inside the SystemSounds folder, with the one you want for putting things in the trash and the *"empty trash*" one inside the Finder folder with the new one for emptying the trash.
Ensure that you rename the new ones the same as the originals. (I usually copy the originals and add a .bak suffix so I can restore the sounds to their original condition.)
OPTION-click the Finder's Dock icon and select Relaunch.
Do note that if you'll have to authenticate to copy, rename, and replace these files. I use the Terminal with the sudo command to affect the changes.

HT4796 Migration assistant failed after 90% of the way; where are the files now and how do I get rid of them?

Migration assistant failed after 90% of the way; where are the files now and how do I get rid of them?

Hello. It looks like I recovered all my keywords attached to photos. What I did:
First I located all photos without keywords using a metadata search.
I found that it seemed to be certain groups of photos that had no keywords. I decided to at least get the main keyword on all of those in a particular group, like Canyonlands.
Once I added one of the keywords, the others all showed up magically! I then went to each group of photos and added the main keyword, and the others came along and attached to the photos.
Don't understand why this occurred or why it got fixed, since it was so random. But, I'm glad to have my keywords restored (I had divided flowers by color, etc. so it was a lot of work!)
Thanks for the discussion and help.

Where are music files stored when playing a song stored in iTunes Match?

Where are music files stored when playing a song stored in iTunes Match? Instead of clicking the cloud icon and downloading the song, I simply double click the song and it starts playing. Later, I can quite iTunes, come back and not have to wait for the song to buffer. When I go to about on my computer I am told there is 11 gigabytes of music on my computer. Where are those files stored, do they clear themeselves over time, etc...

but then why does the FAQ state this:
Does iTunes Match stream or download songs?
On a computer, any songs stored in iCloud will stream over the air when played, though you can download them at any time by clicking the iCloud download button.
Do they mean a different computer than the one with the stored music files? Would be nice if they specified what they mean

Where are iBook files

I need to access the iBook or ebook files to have text to speech work. Where are the files? How do I access outside iBook app?

You can see the ibooks bought from Apple on your computer's iTunes (they go into the Books part of your library if you download or re-download them there) but they can only be read in the iBooks app on an iOS device. Are you wanting to access them in another app ?

Where are my files after running Migration Assistant?

I ran Migration Assistant using a Time Machine back up as I bought a new MacBook Pro that could hold all my files that I previously had on an iMac and another MacBook Pro. I first ran Migration Assistant and got all my files, preferences etc. on the new MBP no problem, but then after trying to combine the files from the iMac using a Time Machine back up as well, I don't see any of the files from my iMac available anywhere. However, all the space is filled up. Where are my files? Am I doing it wrong?
