What happened to my iPhotos files?

I upgraded to Snow Leopard to El Capitan (a big jump, I know).  Before the upgrade, I had all my pictures organized in folders in iPhoto, but now in the new application Photos all files seem to have been deleted.  Is it possible to recover the files?  I have over 20 k photos dating back decades and I don't have time or patience to cross and sort everything again.  Anyone has any ideas for me?

If by 'files' you mean 'events', they were migrated to Photos in 'albums' and are located in a folder named "iPhoto events."

Easiest way to find, is to allow the sidebar on the view menu.

    What happens to my music files and libraries as soon as apple Unassigns itunes?

    What makes you think that apple will stop downgrade iTunes? They make him billions.

    Even if they did whatever it is already downloaded would continue to work and all etc CDs you imported will also continue to work.

    The most likely scenario is that you have an older version of Windows (or Mac OS X), that cannot run the latest version of iTunes. If this is used, you'd still be able to run the old version already installed iTunes and still access your existing files. This applies to Windows XP for example.

  • What happens to iCloud disk files when you reinstall the operating system

    Hello.

    So I thought I use iCloud drive to store files from work because I had to increase 50 GB due to miss the free 5 GB because of photos.

    But my doubt is what happens if my hard drive is going nuts and I install everything... With a new installation, what happens to the files? Download automatically? Or they are deleted on the server (since the new drive iCloud installation folder would be empty)? And can they be backed up with Time Machine? If so, if I get Time machine, it automatically retrieves files from iCloud drive?

    I'm sorry for so many questions, but these are important files.

    Thank you!

    The files are up in the cloud - iCloud!

  • What happened to 'History' in file open in Acrobat 10?

    Buy Acrobat 10.  9 from Adobe, I ejoyed the 'History' function in the file/open box.  I can't remember the name of the file, but, for example, knew that I had opened it in the last 7 days, or last day or last month.  Thus, allow someone to see 'history' or open documents in the past including period of history has been very useful.  Do not see it in Acrobat 10.  I'm having a problem that had me at Tech level 2 and they are now put at degree level technician.  But, I asked Sir check to see "what happened" to "history".  When he called back as planned in the week (very nice to work with), he told me that Adobe has simply REMOVED the ability of history in the part 'open files' program.  I guess he told me is true.  But, if anyone knows otherwise, I would have the knowledge of how to find and use 'history' in the manner described.  And why in the world woould remove such a useful tool?

    Data set use indictment _very_ few people use the Organizer function and the amount of work needed to ensure robust operation in modern operating environments with distributed storage, SAAS, etc., only considered not possible - even in Acrobat 9, it was easy to break. If you want more details on the decisions behind the version changes, you will need to ask the team produced themselves.

    File > history has been generated by the Organizer plugin, so it has been removed as a result.

  • What happened to the menus file, edit and view for mac 0s10.8.3? F10 and other solutions do not work? ESN can't work

    I just got a new mac OS 10.8.3 and newest firefox. I can't find the menu bar, I can't close without force quiting, can't even tell what version I have. Whenever I try to use the arrows to change as suggested display full screen makes it worse. I have studied the subject and tried the fixes recommended as F10, optionF, etc., and nothing works. Help, please?

    Make sure that you run not Firefox mode full screen (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command + SHIFT + F).

    Try to remove the plist of Firefox (org.mozilla.firefox.plist).

    Go to "~/Library/Preferences" and delete the plist for Firefox (org.mozilla.firefox.plist)

  • What happens in a batch file when you try to redirect the output of a command in a text file? How did it break the lot?

    I have a lot that downloads the files, and I want to redirect the output to a text file.  The lot is set up similar to the following:
    Set ftp = c:\ftp.txt
    hdir = Set / mydir
    Define ldir = c:\temp
    echo open monsite.org > ftp %
    echo user > ftp %
    echo pw > ftp %
    echo get myfile.txt > ftp %
    echo mget my*.dat > ftp %
    to echo bye > ftp %
    -I - s FTP: ftp % > "c:\temp\ftp.log."

    This lot works perfectly if I redirect the output of the ftp command, but, when I redirect the output, I get a logfile with 3 lines as follows:
    no connection
    mget my*.dat
    Good bye

    I tried the commands different redirect, with undesired results
    > & (which causes only the batch to close by anything in the logs)

    Why is - what this redirect would break the batch and the ftp script in particular?

    This is now fixed; was a simple mistake really, but thanks for all the help anyway.

  • What is happening in the original file of the photo when I import it in Photos and I have the "Delete after import" box checked?

    What is happening in the original file of the photo when I import it in Photos and I have the "Delete after import" box checked?

    When organizing photos for Photos for Mac app, I find that the Photos makes "copies" of files within the library of Photos and must reference a file if your settings are such that you do not copy the original files in the Photos app.

    Trying to manage the disk space for the Macbook Pro.

    The delete after import is available only when you import a device - a camera, card, an iPhone, but not when you import files from a folder on the system drive.

    You can delete the local image files of your system drive yourself, once you have imported the Photos and they were copied in the photo library.

    I would never use the option "delete after Import. The files will be deleted until you can check if the files have been imported correctly. If you find out later, that some of the imported files are corupted and illegible, it will be repeated o toolate import, because the files have been deleted from the device. Or worse, if pictures should plant a reason any during the import, all the pictures will be lost, if you have enabled "delete after import.

  • What happened to the insertion function. It was on the same line as file

    What happened to the insertion function? It was on the same line as the files, tools, etc. He's gone. If you want to insert a jpg you sent as an attachment. I have read through the help files and that you can't find the answer. I want my old Thunderbird back! Newer is not always better.

    I suspect that you have lost the Mail composition toolbar. Open an entry window, press and hold the < alt > key, type v and check the box for the mail toolbar. I would also allow the Menu bar while you are there.

    Another possibility, if the Insert option is missing in the mail toolbar, is that it is spent in composition in plain text mode. Open the settings page of the account assigned by right-clicking on the account in the left pane, select Composition & addressing and tick the box labelled "Dial using the HTML format".

  • What happened to the bar that says 'file, edit' etc.? How can I change the font size to display Hotmail? Where can I access 'Cancel '? Thank you-

    How can I access the toolbar which includes "file, print" etc.? How can I change the font size of my hotmail home page? It used to be using "display".

    In Firefox 3.6 and later Windows, you can hide the menu bar on "view > toolbars" or via the contextual right click menu on a toolbar.
    Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key to bring up the menu bar temporarily.
    Go to "view > toolbars", right click on the menu bar, or press Alt + V T to select to show or hide toolbars (click on an entry to switch from the State).

  • What happens to a file at the end of playback of a file reference?

    Question general file IO.

    If I'm reading a binary file and the read operation reaches the end of this file, what happens to the file reference?  It exist in memory at this time, or is he out once labview publishes the end of file error?

    I coded a "departure" from playback and functionality 'stop' and the 'Stop' button is the only method in place for the closing of the reading file reference.  Immediate sights are

    (a) what is happening to the reference of the file once the read operation reaches the end of the file

    (b) it is important that I have never close the reference of the file once the user clicks on 'stop '?  (i.e. is it a best practice out there?)

    I'm under Labview 8.6 on Vista Business.

    The file reference is valid when you reach the end of the file. Each read operation returns an error, but you can write to this location. Writing will succeed because it's normal when you add data to a file.

    Close the reference when the user types stop is OK. If you implement a Replay button that you just need to reposition the pointer at the beginning of the file file and read again. This avoids the need to close and reopen the case.

  • What happens if you delete a large file over the encryption process

    I understand that Bitlocker creates a file large placeholder during the initial encryption process, leaving about 6 GB free. So I was wondering, what happens if during this process, you remove one or more of your files and empty trash, in turn leaving for example tens of gigabytes of free space "new"? Bitlocker placeholders file will not automatically increase after that. This little 'will become' what Bitlocker is trying to accomplish?

    I know not if interrupt you the process and continue another day, a large placeholder file will be recreated then also fill the space you released they sleep (which is not the case in the same session when you remove some of your files).

    Because you will lose the lot, you will need to restore from your external backup. If you do not back up your files regularly then it is a good time to review your backup strategy.

    You can always back up your files to boot the machine with a Ubuntu boot CD. Unfortunately, it is much more difficult than restoring from a backup disk.
