Where is the Iphoto cache file in Iphoto 11

Hi All
I am having a problem syncing photos from Iphoto 11 to my Ipad. I was advised to delete the Ipad cache file in the library but it is not there. Any ideas where it is in Iphoto 11?
Many thanks
Joe

The iPhoto cache file is located in your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. Also there is an iPod Photo Cache folder inside the iPhoto Library package that might affect your syncing. You can try clearing out both of those two folders and see if there's any improvement.

  • Where does the Mail cache file reside?

    My email inbox suddenly doesn't show anything newer than April 2011. The last time this happened, Apple Care walked me through deleting an AOL or Mail cache file, but I can't find it now. Where does the archived mail cache hide?

    If you have iTunes set to consolidate your Library, then yes, you have 3 copies of the movie, USB, ITunes library folder, and iPad.
    If not, then iTunes merely adds a pointer to the current location of the file, and then copies it over to the iPad.
    If the USB is removed, the movie is still technically part of the library, but will not be accessible, it will show up grayed out and not be playable.

  • Where are the iPhoto files separate from the program?

    Hi.
    I am running iPhoto 8.1 in Leopard 10.5.6 on my early 2008 MacBook Pro 15".
    I want to "backup" my iPhoto files. How I used to do this before Leopard, was to go into Pictures and find my iPhoto folder and there, I would find all the folders of my imports from my camera, numbered and in order by years, also. I would them just drag and drop each folder into Toast, and when it reached a DVD volume, I would burn a disc.
    Now, in Leopard, I cannot find the iPhoto Files Folder. Every way I have tried to access it, I end up with iPhoto and when i click, it opens the program. SO what I have is the open program with the photos in the events.
    How do I find and Where is the iPhoto Files Folder.
    Thank you.
    Waiting for your replies!

    How I used to do this before Leopard, was to go into Pictures and find my iPhoto folder and there,
    This has nothing to do with Leopard or the Operating System.
    With iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder became a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
    Want to look inside? Select the iPhoto Library and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show package Contents'. A Finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Standard Warning: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.

    Any time you access the iPhoto Library via the Finder or any other application you risk damaging the Library.
    If you want to burn a back up using Toast then use the Media Browser built in to Toast or any of the following:
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 Only*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
    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*:
    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 is the iPhoto folder?

    I am using iPhoto 9.2.1 (OSX 10.6.8) after a recent upgrade. I was accustomed to searching for my photo files within the pictures folder> iphoto > where in addition to the iPhoto library there would be a folder containing all my files organized chronologically and by roll as they were uploaded. Now I find no such folder , instead there is an iPhoto recovered files folder, from my previous libraries and the new files are only accessible by clicking on the iPhoto library icon which opens the application revealing all my stored photos etc, however this way I can't access these pics from say my mail app or if I happen to be on a webmail like yahoo and want to send a pic I can't access the files, where is the iPhoto file folder being kept now? is it accessible or am I dependant on iPhoto to manage all photos I uploaded from my camera? Also while I'm here, why can't I see my camera as an accessible removable drive in the finder but are dependant on a photo app to access my files within the memory card?

    Since iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is a Package File. This is simply a folder that +looks+ like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
    Directly accessing the files via the Finder is not supported. It's also unnecessary and quite inefficient.
    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 what you're doing.

  • Where does the iPhoto library reside?

    Where does the iPhoto library reside on your hd?  when I go to the search bar above, it shows 2 libraries!  I am about out of hd space so I am hoping that it has been duplicated somehow.  It's about 36GB. =)
    Thanks for your help!
    MK

    By default it's in your Pictures Folder.
    If space is an issue you can move the Library to an external disk:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • Where did the iPhoto 10 iCloud Photostream come from and how do I get rid of it?

    I just updated my MacBook Air to mavericks.  I have an iPad and iphone as well just updated to ios7.  My Mac updated iPhoto as well.  Now when I opened iPhoto I got my flickr and Facebook integrated folders in the left pane plus an iCloud photostream.
    I didn't have that before and it has 287 pictures pulled from many devices but I didn't set that up.  I only had/have a private photostream with a particular name and about 10 pics in it.  this new one is just called iCloud photostream and it has 287 pics of which some I know I took with my iPad and others with my iphone.  I of course sync both devices with my Mac so this pics are in my iPhoto library as well.

    In the iPhoto preferences turn PhotoStream off

  • Where are the font caches located?

    Trying to trash my font caches but cant find them.

    It moves to the Trash all font cache.
    Not quite. It clears any and all cache files of the user account you logged into in Safe Mode. It doesn't do anything to the system cache files.
    All font caches normally stored in /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS/(uid)/ , where (uid) is a user ID number such as 501 (Mac OS X v10.4 or later)
    I know that info came from one of Apple's own Knowledge Base articles, but it's completely out of date. The user font cache files haven't been in that location since Tiger. All font cache files (along with Font Book's database) are now deeply buried in a hidden folder. Part of the name may be different from Mac to Mac, but they are now here:
    /private/var/folders/3K/3Kdt7kk4Ghim10j+GZwim++++TI/-Caches-/com.apple.FontRegis try/
    Don't try and edit anything in here yourself. Use the command below to clear font cache files.
    Close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
    sudo atsutil databases -remove
    This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and all user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.

    In J2SDK 1.5 beta, where is the swing.properties file.
    The file is supposed to be located in <Java Home>/lib/ but it is not there.

    I'm not sure about 1.5, but normally there isn't one. The defaults are just used unless there is one.

    I've just received CS4.  I want to move it to my more powerful laptop when I install it.  I know how to do that and I can move site files, but where are the site definition files?  I really don't want to have to set up each site from scratch.  Is there one (or more) files that are the name, url, location, id, password etc for each of the (many) sites in CS3?

    To import/export site definitions (not site files):

  • Do I realy need the Media cache files for archiving

    Hi I am arc hiving some projects and the Media Cache Files are huge over 7GB. The project this is from is a 2hr dvd so I expect big files, but I can't fit 7GB on a data DVD for backup. Can I delete this cache folder and will Encore DVD 2.0 rebuild these files the next time I try to access the project?
    Matt

    I wouldn't delete any if it if you want to absolutely positively guarantee it all works later. However, the PK files and CFA files can be deleted if you like, and it shouldn't bother Encore too much. Next time you open the project they will be automatically re-created (no way around it), so take that into consideration as far as your time is concerned - you will have to wait while those suckers are re-built.
    If you have transcoded assets, Encore can get fussy looking for them, even if you have the original untranscoded assets recognized. My choice...delete the CFA files and PK files and archive the rest for safety. The CFA files take up a huge chunk anyways, so that should help with 1 or 2 GB of space.

  • Can you resume an unfinished/failed Airdrop transfer?  Where do the unfinished transfer files go?  Thanks in advance!

    Can you resume an unfinished/failed Airdrop transfer? 
    Where do the unfinished transfer files go?
    I was 75% thru a 8 gig transfer before I had to stop.  Just wondering if there's a way to resume instead of starting all over, otherwise I'll break up the files into smaller segments I transfer in the future.

  • Where are the actual Aperture files located? Only in the application? I am transitioning to Lightroom and would like to only move some of the files. Advice appreciated. Also anyone know how to transfer in with edits?

    Where are the actual Aperture files located? Only in the application? I am transitioning to Lightroom and would like to only move some of the files. Advice appreciated. Also anyone know how to transfer in with edits? Using iMac, OS X, most recent Aperture and Lightroom 5.7 with plugin for Aperture.

    Define "the Aperture files".
    Read this concise guide.
    The files you imported into an Aperture Library can be exported (at any time, and repeatedly) using the command "File ▹ Export ▹ Originals".  Your Originals are never altered.  What went in is what comes out.
    Adjustments and changes to the metadata that you made since creating an Image in Aperture by importing a file are saved to a text file.  This file is combined, on-the-fly, with the Original to create the Image that you see in Aperture.  There is no file saved to disk that is the full-size Image.  Thumbnails are saved, and Previews are saved.  These are JPG files, almost always smaller than the Original.  They are not substitutes for the Image for the use you have.
    When you need a file of an Image to use in another program, you export the Image from Aperture.  "Export" means "Make me a file of this Image according to these file specs I'm providing".  The way to get files of your adjusted Images is simple:  create them by exporting.  Specify "Original size", and use a loss-less image-file format (e.g. TIFF 16-bit) if you want to retain as much visual information as possible.
    Search the Web for information about transitioning from Aperture to Lightroom.  Note that I say "transitioning".  You cannot move a database from one format to another without significant changes, and likely some loss of information.  Adobe provides a tool and some instructions.  I strongly recommend working out the process step-by-step, and then proceeding with first a few Images, then a bushel-ful, and stopping to use the first few, the the bushel-ful, before committing your entire collection to the process.
    As always, never use any computer file without having a back-up.
    We have seen mixed reports here of the success of the LR tool that creates a LR database from your Aperture database.
    If you want to carefully define the process, and test and refine it, use the excellent process-development, analysis, and execution program inShort.
    Sadly, there is not and can never be a good, thorough re-positioning of the digital assets in your Aperture Library to become digital assets in a LR database.  Just as a metaphor for any user contemplating transitioning to another digital asset manager:  that would be like digging up a house in one country, planting it in a hole in another country, and expecting to be able to use the toilet and the sinks, turn on the lights, cook dinner, and sleep soundly.
    HTH,

  • Where can the individual picture files be found in iPhoto 08?

    Can't seem to find my individual photo .jpg files since upgrading to iPhoto 08. I used to be able to find them in the iPhoto folder located in Pictures but can't find this folder anymore since upgrading. There used to be folders located there with the originals and modified .jpg files. Where are they now?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Still there. With iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Unix Style Package File. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
    There is never a need for the user to access the files in the iPhoto Library via the Finder or any other app. Any time you attempt to you risk damaging the library. There are no user-serviceable parts there.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.

    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.
    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.
    All of these are a: faster and b: safer than rooting around in the iPhoto Library via the Finder.
