With iPhoto '11, can I access an actual jpg image from somewhere?

I want to be able to make sure I can backup the actual, original, jpg image that is imported into iPhoto. Is there anyway to do this? Or how do I find the folder which contains the actual jpg files of the images I import into iPhoto?
I am concerned with the possibility of iPhoto possibly crashing and not being able to open any of my images, but I would feel much safer knowing where all my images were located, so if I could find the folder in which the jpg is saved when it's imported into iPhoto, I could make sure that folder is included in my backup.
I don't want to edit the image outside of iPhoto, I just want to make sure I can backup the actual jpg images.
Please help!
Thanks!

File -> Export and in the resulting dialogue set the Kind to Original
Export to your preferred location. Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
You cannot access the Library from the Finder, nor should you. The 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.
To see inside: Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and 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,, deleting them or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
In iPhoto 11 the originals are stored in the Masters Folder.

  • How can I access my home security DVR from the internet?

    My Time Capsule (as a router and not a bridge) blocks me from accessing my home security DVR from the internet.  I can access it from other computers connected to my LAN but not from the internet.  I guess it's a firewall setting issue.  I can't add the home security application to the list of firewall allowed incoming connections since it's a Windows app that I cannot install on my Mac.  On the other hand, the app is installed on my old PC but I can't access the Mac firwall settings from the PC and add the security app (If that's the problem).
    My DVR is connected to a Netgear switch which is connected to the Time Capsule which is connected to a Cisco modem provided by Comcast. I thought one of the modem ports had to be opened by Comcast. That was not the issue.  After spending 2 hours on the phone with Comcast going in circles talking to 10 different overseas agents, they concluded the Netgear switch was blocking me from accessing the DVR.  I think they are wrong and that it's a Mac firewall problem.  HELP!!!  Does anyone know what could be the problem and how to solve it?

    Did you forward the required ports in the TIme Capsule? If not it won't work.. it has nothing to do with firewall unless the DVR is plugged into the Mac. If it is plugged into a switch you need to lock the IP of the DVR and find out what ports are required.. usually just port 80, ie html.. but it could be some others.
    Since Apple do not use upnp to open ports.. the TC will have to manually be provided with the ports.. Apple use PMP-NAT that is not used by the rest of the known world.. Just to ensure you stay in the camp.

    What a crappy design. This is where Android is so much better. It seems to me like you have no control over your iPhone. It does whatever Apple has designed it to do without asking you first. On Android you can actually go in see all folders, document files, photo files etc and you have so much more control of everything. Apple s..cks!

  • Browser can resolve, access, and display JPEG image, but ImageIcon can't.

    I've got this weird problem that only happens with images accessed through a customer's VPN:
    Microsloth Internet Imploder can resolve, access, and display a JPG image from a VPN URL, in the general form:
    http://intranet/part?FOOBAR.JPG which the browser apparently transmogrifies into
    http://mogrify.foo.com/images/scripts/cgi/detail.cgi?FOOBAR.JPG(as Jack Webb often said, the names have been changed to protect the innocent)
    Firefox can also resove, access, and display the image.
    But an ImageIcon, when fed either URL, quietly fails to get anything, No errors, no exceptions, but no image, either.
    The application, if it detects the failure of ImageIcon to come up with the image, somehow (not my code) defers to "Windoze Image and Fax Viewer," which locks up trying to resolve, access, and display the image.
    What could possibly be going on here?

    I'd love to have the luxury of saying, "You lost me at Windoze." Then again, to paraphrase a running gag from Airplane!, it looks like I picked the wrong week to quit hemlock.
    As my final message on my other thread on this topic indicates, the problem is that even though the URL ends in JPG, the server isn't really serving up a JPEG, but rather, an HTML page containing the JPEG.
    Knowing this, a solution (of sorts) presented itself: if the URL doesn't produce a displayable ImageIcon, try constructing a JEditorPane on the URL. The results aren't exactly pretty, and you do have to try the ImageIcon first, but it does work.

  • I wiped my ipod classic and then my computer crashed, so i no longer have the songs i purchsed from itunes on my ipod or computer! I have a new computer now with itunes installed, can I get the songs purchased previously from itunes somehow?

    I wiped my ipod classic and then my computer crashed, so i no longer have the songs i purchsed from itunes on my ipod or computer! I have a new computer now with itunes installed, can I get the songs purchased previously from itunes somehow?

    Yes, you can!(:
    STEP 1: Open iTunes
    STEP 2: Navigate to the "iTunes Store". It can be found under the "STORE" tab.
    STEP 3: On the right side of the store there should be a "Quick Links" Section. Click on the "Purchased" link.
    STEP 4: Navigate to the "Music" tab and click on "All Songs". Then at the bottom of the screen there will be a button that says "Download All". Click the button and your songs will be begin downloading!
    NOTE: This will only work with songs that you bought from the iTunes store, if you imported them from a CD, you will have to do it again.
    NOTE: You can also do this with Apps, Movies, TV Shows, and Books.
    NOTE: You may have to sign in with your Apple ID to verify the download.
    Hope this helped! Enjoy your music!(:

  • How can i access my home shared videos from my iPad2 if I now have iTunes match?

    how can i access my home shared videos from my iPad2 if I now have iTunes match?

    That's exactly what I meant, but for some reason Home Sharing stopped working on my iPad2 once I activated iTunes Match.
    Since then, I waited for iTunes Match to finish setting up and scanning my iTunes library on my MacBook Pro and I restarted my iPad2. Both Home Sharing and iTunes Match are now up and running smoothly!
    Thanks for the reply!

  • Trying to upload DSCF.JPG images from my Mac Pro to Photostream in iPhoto

    I am trying to upload the DSCF.JPG images from my Mac Pro (originally taken on my Fuji Finepix camera) to Photostream in iPhoto.
    I then want these images to load onto my iPhone 5 through iCloud.
    I have tried dragging the images over from a desktop folder to my Photostream folder in iPhoto – no good. They just won't copy over.
    I have dragged the images over from a desktop folder into a new folder in iPhoto – that worked, but I can't then get them transferred or copied over to the iCloud folder.
    Is it the DSCF format that my Photostream doesn't like? Why would that be?
    And does anybody know what I can do about it?
    Thanks so much.

    Hi dinglydell2,
    The picture formats that are supported by Photo Stream are described in this article -
    iCloud: Shared Photo Streams FAQ
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5903
    In particular -
    Shared Photo Streams supports JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and most RAW photo formats. On your Mac or PC, your photos are downloaded and stored in full resolution. On your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple TV, your Photo Stream photos are delivered in a device-optimized resolution that speeds downloads and saves storage space. While actual dimensions will vary, an optimized version of a photo taken by a standard point-and-shoot camera will have a 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution when pushed to your devices. Panoramic photos can be up to 5400 pixels wide.
    If the Preview application can open your photos, you may be able to export them to a more compatible format.
    Preview 5.x: Convert graphic file types with Preview
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5910
    The process is the same for more recent versions of Preview.
    Open a file in Preview, and choose File > Export.
    Choose a file type from the Format pop-up menu. If you don’t see the file type you want, hold down the Option key as you click the Format pop-up menu to see specialized or older formats.
    Depending on the file format you choose, additional options may appear. If you choose JPEG or JPEG 2000, you can adjust the image’s quality. If you choose PDF, you can choose a Quartz filter to apply to the image, and you can encrypt the image so that only those with the password can view it.
    Type a new name, or choose a new location for saving the converted file, and then click Save.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Creating a .jpg image from with in the J2ME app

    Hi,
    I want to send a document to the printer over bluetooth to print.
    For that I searched on net, but couldn't find any APIs supported by J2ME to print it. I also found a link http://www.hcilab.org/documents/tutorials/Brother/ where I found that I can send the data by creating an image and then writing data (text or image ) in to it, and then sending that image to print.
    Image img = Image.createImage(816, 40);
    Graphics g = img.getGraphics();
    g.setColor(0, 0, 0);
    g.setFont(Font.getFont(Font.FACE_PROPORTIONAL, Font.STYLE_BOLD,Font.SIZE_LARGE));
    g.drawString("Printing test from "
                             + System.getProperty("microedition.platform") + " on "
                             + new Date(), 10, 10, 0);
    driver.print(img, btAddr);This code is working fine on this printer.
    I am using HP 460cb printer, and I tried the same thing, but am not getting any results. Can any one of you tell me what mistake am I making.
                    Image blankImage = Image.createImage(SpotBilling.MAX_IMG_WIDTH, SpotBilling.MAX_IMG_HEIGHT);
                    Graphics g = blankImage.getGraphics();
                    g.setColor(0,0,0);
                    g.setFont(Font.getFont(Font.FACE_PROPORTIONAL, Font.STYLE_PLAIN, Font.SIZE_SMALL));
                    g.drawString("Printing test on Wednesday - 18th Jan, 2006", 10, 50, Graphics.TOP|Graphics.LEFT);
                    g.drawImage(imgTest, 60, 150, Graphics.HCENTER | Graphics.VCENTER);
                    int width = blankImage.getWidth();
                    int height = blankImage.getHeight();
                    int y = 0;
                    os.write(CMD_UNIVERSAL_EXIT);
                    for(int i = 1; i<=height; i++){
                             blankImage.getRGB(temp, 0, width, 0, y, width, 1);
                             byte[] pixels = new byte[width];
                             for (int x = 0; x < temp.length; x++) {
                                  pixels[x] = (byte) ((((temp[x] & 0x00FF0000) >> 16)
                                       + ((temp[x] & 0x0000FF00) >> 8) + (temp[x] & 0x000000FF)) / 3);
                             // Transfer Raster Graphics
                             os.write(TRANSFER_RASTER_DATA);
                             byte[] len = numToDecimal(pixels.length);
                             os.write(len);
                             os.write(DATA);
                             os.write(pixels);
                             y++;
                        }I have another query, if I can not do this. Is there any way I can create a .jpg image from with in the J2ME application.
    I have some text and an image that I get by invoking camera from the code and then capturing a picture. I need to combine them both, and then send it to the printer.
    If there is any way, I can convert this blankImage mentioned above (containing both text and Image), please provide me the solution.
    Any document or any source code is appreciated.
    regards,
    Ashish

    I have succeeded in creating a mutable image that contains text and image (.png), through
                         Image img;
                         img = Image.createImage(50, 60);
         protected void paint(Graphics g){
              g.drawImage(img, getWidth()/2, getHeight()/2, Graphics.HCENTER | Graphics.VCENTER);
              Graphics graph = img.getGraphics();
              graph.setColor(0, 0, 0);
              graph.setFont(Font.getFont(Font.FACE_PROPORTIONAL, Font.STYLE_BOLD,
                             Font.SIZE_LARGE));
              graph.drawString("Printing test from "
                                       + System.getProperty("microedition.platform") + " on ", 10, 10, 0);
              graph.drawImage(image, img.getWidth()/2, img.getHeight()/2,Graphics.HCENTER|Graphics.VCENTER);
              graph.fillArc(0,0,10,10,0, 360);
         }Now I want to create a .jpg image of this img image(Mutable image).
    What I am doing is that,
    1. I am converting this image in to int array, using getRGB() method.
    2. Then I am converting int array in to byte array.
    3. And then I am opening a file(extension is .jpg)
    4. Then I am sending this byte array in to the file which is .jpg
    The .jpg file is getting created, but the data in it is very absurd, like yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
    Please help me in this matter.
