  • How can I find my photos in Aperture in the Finder (for Macs)?

    I have a full 8 photos Aperture GIGANTIC library. I have separated/cloisonne each year, except the last one in the library, 2014. I tried export library to a new library of many, many times only to have opening crash when I try to do. I am certain that it is because the new library would be great (I have a lot of pictures in the folder 2014) that he won't let me do.

    That said, I need a workaround solution. My first thought was to copy all photos by project, in folders in the Finder (I have an iMac) and just create a new library with these photos. While it worked, it would take me forever! So, there must be a better way to create this new library. Here are my ideas:

    1. I believe that there is a way you can find photos that are in the open in the Finder. I know, I know, it is not suggested for this. That's the problem since I signed for Lightroom because Apple did away with opening, so I don't care if my current database of opening it messes up. I have the Grand opening saved in two places, anyway.

    Can someone out there tell me how to find these photos? I right click on them and there is no option for ' info, or even to show the contents of the package. "

    2. can you someone thinking differently to create the new library?

    Thank you very much!

    Andy

    I am certain that it is because the new library would be great (I have a lot of pictures in the folder 2014) that he won't let me do.

    You have enough free free storage on the disk with the aperture library?

    The size of the exported library shouldn't matter, unless you are running out of storage.  I exported a partial library with 100000 photos without problem.

    What version of Aperture do you use? If it is opening 9.4.5 or an older version, disconnect from the Internet when you are working with Aperture. Older versions are currently crashing, if they can't access Google map servers.

    Frequently, it allows to run a repair of the library before you try to export an Aperture library. Have you tried?  See: repair and rebuild your Aperture library: Aperture 3 user manual

    . In my view, there is a way you can find photos that are in the open in the Finder. I know, I know, it is not suggested for this.

    To see your photos imported from 2014 in the Finder, select your Aperture library, ctrl + click, and then select "Show Package Contents".

    Open the 'Masters' folder and look for a 2014 subfolder.  It will contain all of the original images files for photos you imported in 2014.

  • problem with the Finder - files and folders displaying incorrectly

    After acquiring a new iMac, I noticed a problem with the Finder - files and folders are displayed wrong (see table).

    This is what happens always after the files have been transferred from one folder to another. I was reminded of my days of using Mac OS in the 1980s when automatic setting of files was not so "automatic." I use Mac OS for decades and I don't remember the last time I had to think about GUI problems like that.

    Other problems in the graphical display of files and folders were introduced, such as when you have hundreds of files in a single folder, you end up deleting about 30 to 40 of them say in a particular section, and you end up with gaps of the ChartSpace where files used to be, that is the remaining files automatically rearrange themselves (fill in these gaps) - never. A week later, you open the folder, and the gap of GUI is still there.

    I decided to do a clean install of the operating system but nothing works.

    Is there some setting in Prefs I'm missing?

    Hi there highland99,

    Looks like your folder icons are not accommodating themselves automatically you plan to do. To me, this indicates that you have organize by the None value in the view menu. You can change the way files and folders are prepared automatically by clicking on view > reorganize by and selecting how you would like that fixed.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  • How to find hidden using the Finder folders

    Really frustrating!  I want Finder to display the hidden files and folders.  I tried everything I could find in this forum and others to do so.  That's what I tried (many times):

    Tip #1:

    Finder > go hold the option key

    If you need to continuously show

    Open your Finder > go > home folder and then order J to see the display options

    Then, restart Finder

    Suggestion #2:

    Show hidden files Mac OS X El Capitan:

    1. Click the "Finder" icon in the dock of your Mac.
    2. Open a Terminal. Terminal is a utility that allows access to the operating system OS X El Capitan. It can be opened in one of two ways:
    3. Select 'Applications' on the left side, click "Utilities" and then double-click "Terminal."
    4. Open the launch of OS X El Capitan area. Click on the "Utilities" folder Then, double-click "Terminal."
    5. Enter the following in the Terminal window, and then press "Enter": "defaults write QLEnableXRayFolders AppleShowAllFiles YES."
    6. Exit the Terminal program. This can be done by selecting "Quit Terminal" in the Terminal.
    7. Restart the Finder. Your new setting will take effect after you restart the finder. To do this, hold down the 'Alt' key and click or with two fingers on the Finder icon. Select "raise".

    None of them work for me.  :-(  I use Macbook Air and El Capitan Version 10.11.4

    Do not include the quotes.

  • How to manage the photos of the IPhone from the Finder (IMac)

    I have connected my IPhone 6 to my IMac and would expect to see in the Finder so that I can remove or transfer the pictures from my IPhone on any folder in the Finder.

    I get the connection to ITunes and IPhoto, but not in the Finder.

    Photos on the iPhone are not accessible via the Finder. You can use Photos or Image Capture to import pictures from camera.

  • Impossible to delete folders in the Favorites menu in the side bar of the Finder

    Since I upgraded to El Capitan, I was unable to delete folders in the Favorites menu in the side bar of the Finder. If I drag a folder in the sidebar of the Finder, it works normally. But when I decide to remove it by dragging it out he disappear. When I drag it cross-brand 'X' appears, and when I let go it makes the 'pop' sound and animated clouds appear briefly, just as he always has, but the folder again snaps and is still in the Menu favorites. I tried to use all kinds of modifier with this action keys, but no change. The only way to get rid of the file is to disconnect and back in, or sometimes it requires a complete reboot in order to get rid of it.

    Also has anyone seen this behavior? I searched online for almost a year for a solution and I have not found a single instance of this ever reported bug. I use a 2011 13 "MacBook Pro running OS X El Capitan 10.11.2 but I have had this problem since the first version of El Capitan." Thanks for any help or idea.

    It is not El Capitan. I've never seen this problem in versions of El Capitan, or ever in Yosemite. Maybe you have some question on the computer that is initially only as a bad Finder preferences file or a bad cache folder Finder.

    The problem persists if your startup in Safe Mode?

  • iMac does not recognize Nikon D90 in the Finder

    In fact it is not a question just for this forum because I can import pictures from my D90 without any problem in LR on a new iMac. However, there are smart people who read this forum that I would ask anyway:

    My D90 is not recognized by my iMac as a hard drive, although my little Olympus E420 is. Unlike other cameras, Nikon did not provide a "choice of export" (mass storage) as in previous models. It is important to me because the camera thus takes videos and I can't transfer from the camera to the movies folder (or iMovie, for example). I am sure that I can remove the SD card and copy the files in this way, but it is a pain and probably not good for the long term of camera.

    Please don't jump on me for this but I have never experienced this problem using Windows. Any suggestions or is this the nature of the beast?

    Thank you very much in advance-Andy

    Unlike other cameras, Nikon did not provide a "choice of export" (mass storage) as in previous models.

    That's the problem. Given that the unit will not work in mass storage mode, it will not mount in the Finder if there is no special driver available. If I understand correctly, Nikon provides a driver for windows, but not for Mac OS X, so you can't do it. As you met him, he will still normally work with Lightroom. Annoying that Nikon is no longer provides this essential option, because it will help enormously in a pinch, and when you need to update the firmware. I heard that the D700 has the same problem.

  • The Finder sidebar does not shortcuts to folders

    On my MacBook Pro mid 2014 running OS X 10.11.6 El Capitan, the sidebar of the Finder displays often only "devices" and "shared". It occurs randomly, sometimes it works for a day, then all of a sudden, breaks, and it is also randomly after a reboot.

    A related issue is perhaps that, in all of my native applications Mac, the "Open recent" menu is always empty. However, the questions are not directly related, which means that "Open the recent item" may work for at the same time, the sidebar of the Finder doesn't.

    I'm a developer, so a possible cause may be that I installed a bunch of third-party software that modifies the system and something went wrong. I use homebrew and MacPorts is used in the past. I would like to avoid a clean reinstallation because it takes so much time. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction? What damaged setting could cause this behavior?

    Have you checked it in the preferences? Sidebar Finder - preferences - and you can check or uncheck the items you want to see in the sidebar

  • Why the finder ask password when logged in as an administrator

    Hi, I got a new iMac (2015) since a backup time machine of a 2011 iMac that 'death '.  (I know, within a period of one we are likely to see the 2016... refreshed models but I was desperate). Now, every time I make a change to a folder I have to enter my password.  I even deleted the password, but demand still appears. . It's just that, without a real password I can just hit enter.  However, I would like to use a password (even if I'm the only person using the computer) and I would really stop requests the constant "enter password".

    Thanks for any help.
