Where has File - Show in finder gone?

I've just updated by iPhoto library to photo's and the option to show a photo in finder seems to of gone, is there a way to do this?

Andre, since no Mega-Pointer in this forum has chimed in with real answers, I guess I will.
In your "Pictures" folder you will find the "Photos Library."  Right-click on that and "Show Package Contents."  You will then see an alias to "Originals" and "Modified"  and can then dig down inside to your heart's content.
By the way, you should do a GET INFO on that "Photos Library" to see how big it is.  After deleting most everything in mine on my office machine (I don't need my home photos on my office Mac), I noticed that Library was still 5GB in size!  And yet when I checked iPhoto, virtually nothing was there except a few small photos.  I had deleted everything the night before and in the next morning I saw that my HD freespace had increased, but yet not everything was deleted in Photos, it would seem.  So I started doing GET INFO on the various folders inside the "Photos Library" and sure enough I found stupid movies hidden away inside the "Masters" folder.  Photos tricked me into thinking they had been deleted but in fact they were still there taking up space!  Goodness knows how much space Photos is wasting for people around the globe.  Surely this must be a bug.  So be sure to keep an eye on your Library.
One other thing that irks me is that when I installed the latest OS X update, Photos was installed and then it proceeded to ASSUME what I wanted.  It used up most of my CPU and internet bandwidth to yank down photos and videos from iCloud against my wishes.  I promptly disabled import via the Preferences when I figured out that was the only way to stop it, but it made my iMac a zombie for hours until I did that.  That is NOT a bug but just plain stupidity on the part of the designers of the new Photos app.  Even Jason Snell of Six Colors mentioned that, albeit a bit more tactfully than I:

But why Apple forces us to jump through hoops to "Show in Finder" is beyond me.  They seek to anger more than please.  And so many people try to justify Apple's design decisions by saying, "They sell so much stuff around the globe they don't care what people think."  Maybe that's true, but their foolish decisions on the software side are still frustrating nonetheless.  I say this as an Apple lover since my Ma 128k in 1984.  It's been a love-hate relationship, but love prevailed and I'm still here.  (And before a Mega-Pointer tells me to "leave Apple feedback," please know that I do.  I send them A LOT of feedback.  They probably don't like me very much as a result!)
Hope this helps.  If not, we still have iPhoto on our hard drives!  :-)

    Two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates. Use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist.
    There is also my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    Enjoy.

  • Where has the artwork side pane gone from itunes11??? Bring it back!!!!

    Apple. Where has the artwork side pane gone??? Bring it back!!!

    Rather odd
    In both browsing and edit mode I can go View -> Thumbnails -> Show
    If you do not have this option Start with the troubleshooting basics:
    1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
    2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
    3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

  • Where has my airport utility window gone ? when I double click on the icon all I get is an image of a globe and a base station with no options to make changes in my airport extreme.

    Where has my airport utility window gone? When I double click on the airport utility icon all I get is a picture of a globe and a base station with no further  options available to modify my airport extreme. 

    Sorry, you lost me on that last post.
    Let's start over again.
    Open AirPort Utility on your Mac
    Are you asked for a password at this point?  If yes, enter the base station or device password that you used when you originally set up the AirPort router. Depending when you did this originally, you might have been given an option to use the same password as the wireless network. If you were not, then you have a separate password for the base station.
    You need that password to be able to access the settings for the AirPort router in AirPort Utility.
    If you see a window listing basic information, click Edit in the upper right corner of the window.
    If you are asked for a password, you must enter the device password or base station password that you established when you first set up the AirPort router as explained above.
    If you forgot the password, a Soft Reset will allow you to go in and reset the base station password.  Might be a good idea to write down that password.
    If you are still stuck, then the only option that you have at this point is to perform a Hard Reset to return the settings to factory defaults and then set up the AirPort router again.
    If you prefer, you can also do a Factory Default Reset. It's the same as a Hard Reset except for the timing of holding in the reset button.

    Where has my "Battery Low" warning gone?
    When it got below 5% (I think) I used to get a warning come up.  Now for about last 2 or 3 weeks it just shuts down with no warning.  Plus when I attach the power lead & switch on the battery status says it is at 27%. 
    My MacBookPro2,2 is a 2006 unit from USA, running on
    OS X ver. 10.6.8
    Processor 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory 3 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    We had a genuine battery fitted by Apple about 9mths ago.
    Any Help will be appreciated
    Tony

    Reset the SMC. I'm pretty sure that model has a removeable battery, so you want this method:
    Resetting the SMC on Mac portables with a battery you can remove
    Note: Learn about removing the battery on MacBook and MacBook Pro.
    Shut down the computer.
    Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
    Remove the battery.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    You shouldn't be running the battery down that low on a regular basis though. It'll shorten the life of the battery.

  • Where has sort by date modified gone in search results?

    I'm in Lion. Where has the 'sort by date modified' gone in search results? If I search for all After Effects files on my Mac. Lion gives me a list unsorted of hundreds. Date modified header not clickable to sort. Adding a search term 'date modified' will not sort the column by date modified. Dumb.
    Spotlight may be a powerfull search engine but it doesn't do the simplest thing you want it to intuitively. Simple search has been messed up for years. If the genus in Spotlight doesn't guess the file you are magically thinking you are screwed.
    Find in OS9 was one of the things that made the Mac so much better than the PC. It was simple and you could find your file in a second. The PC guy would still be searching after 10 minutes.
    Why can't simple search still be an option?

    The answer is Forklift. On sale now in the App store for $5. Also lets you sync folders and more but has a simple search that works.
    Why pay? You can just open a finder window, type in your search and click on the little wheel in the toolbar that lists these options under 'arrange by'. Or customise your toolbar to add the default icon that does this. One less third-party program to give you potential problems, also.

  • Where is the 'show in finder' option?

    iPhoto had a quick option to reveal the location of the original file in Finder.  Where is this option in the new 'Photos' app?

    iPhoto had a quick option to reveal the location of the original file in Finder.  Where is this option in the new 'Photos' app?
    Show in Finder  is now only available, if the originals are not stored inside the Photos Library. You can only reveal originals, that you imported as referenced files, and left in their original location. Photos, that are managed inside the library can no longer be revealed.

  • Where has "Save all Bookmarks" option gone in fx4?

    I've installed Firefox 4 and am totally unhappy with the experience:
    1) Where has the "Save all Tabs" option gone from Bookmarks drop down menu? I have no way to save a current work session; fail.
    2) In an effort to create more screen space, you have made the browser harder to use. For example, how do I now get the "about" option to find out what version browser I'm using. Please don't say to enter something in the address bar - for the simple reason that this is beyond the casual user!
    Did you get non-devs to even test this?

    1/ Right-click on a tab for the option to bookmark all tabs, or use keyboard shortcut Control+Shift+D
    2/ Click the Firefox button, then in the Help sub-menu select "About Firefox"

  • Where has the "MORE PRINTERS" option gone???

    I am trying to add a Canon printer that previously worked under Snow Leopard 10.6 however under Lion 10.7 it doesn't
    The "More Printers" option in add a printer appears to have vanished....where has it gone???
    "More Printers" used to be where the red oval is marked.

    Canon Australia has posted the CAPT v3.36 driver for Lion. As stated on this page, be sure to read the document "Registering_OS_X_Lion_en-uk_R.pdf" included with the driver download.
    I have loaded it on mine and it seems to be running OK so far )

  • Where has the calendar list view gone?

    Where has the list view gone from the calendar in iOS 7 iPhone?
    The current view is awful and verges on unusable.

    I was also kind of annoyed that they got rid of list view.  You now have to click the magnifying glass at the top and it will give you the list view.  There should be a dedicated button for the list view but hopefully they will change this in a future update.

    Where has it disappeared to. That was better than the google app

    Hey apple maybe you might consider. Adding the YouTube app back into the firmware. It was very easy to do everything there instead of the google app.

  • Dude, Where's my "Show in Finder"?  Whatever the bug is, it seems to affect every app that uses the method. Any thoughts (besides logout/restart)?

    Doesn't matter if it's Finder, LaunchBar, Fresh, Spotlight, Path Finder, Tower...you name it: After being logged in awhile (assuming this is a requisite condition), all "show in Finder" functionality fails to work. It's really beginning to (1) make me realize just how much I rely on that feature, and (2) **** me off.
    OS X 10.8.2  |  2012 Mac Pro

    Me too. Seems endemic from searching around.
    Trashing finder prefs and a restart works for awhile.
    Fixing permissions and a restart works for a while.
    But it comes back.
    10.8.2 on three machines - two Mac Pro's and a Retina MBP. All the same problem.
