Where is the folder 'My Photo Stream' located locally on a Mac?

Hi all

I try to access the folder 'My Photo Stream' on an MBA with El Capitan 10.11.3 with the Finder, but can't seem to find anywhere. To be clear, I'm not trying to find my iCloud photo file, unless they are the same thing. My guess is that since the app of my photo stream is an iCloud service, the folder is not actually on my Mac anywhere but straight up into the cloud, somewhere I looked and looked, but the closest location I've seen suggested was " ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub ." which was a few versions of OS X there are and no more seems to exist. Any help is very appreciated.

Thank you

They are inside your photo library (or iPhoto Library if you use that).

However, you will not find a folder that contains them. The screen you see with albums and moments, etc. is all made up using a database to link photos that belong to the given location.

  • Where is the folder C:\windows\shellnew located in Windows 7?

    I tried to change the default font and size parameters to WordPad.  I found an instruction to do that involves editing the registry.  However, in order to make the registry change, the instructions said that I had to add a WordPad document with my default settings in a folder called C:\windows\shellnew which instructions said had the following track: C:\Windows\ShellNew.  But I can't find any folder called C:\windows\shellnew here, nor anywhere else in C:\.  Where can I find this file?  Note: I don't mean the C:\windows\shellnew in the registry, but a file system called C:\windows\shellnew.  I know where the relevant registry C:\windows\shellnew entry, but it serves me without having the C:\windows\shellnew folder in which to save this model of WordPad.

    Copy the registry value, I gave you.

  • photos went to the Gallery of photos, but not in the folder of photos, why?

    When I downloaded my photos from my camera SD card in my computer photos went just to the photo gallery, not to the folder of photos.  This is why when I try to send pictures via my gmail account I gives me only the choice of the photos in the pictures folder.  How can I get these photos in the photo gallery images folder?  I'm using vista Home premium and I've never had this problem before.

    Thank you, for some reason any, he went to my folder of Tasmania.  Now, I found the photos how to make them out of this file and in another file?

    =======================================================
    Select (highlight) all the photos you want to move.

    Right-click on the selected group and from the menu, choose copy.

    Navigate to the folder you want the files saved in and right click / Paste.

    Once you are "positive" that the files are copied safely in the new location
    You can delete them from the previous location.

  • If I copy and paste an image file (jpeg, for example) in the folder of photos on my Mac, is it automatically imported in the Photos app?

    If I copy & paste an image file (jpeg, for example) that I downloaded from the internet to the folder of photos on my Mac, is it automatically imported in the Photos app? Note that the picture on my Mac folder is the folder that contains the file "Library.photoslibrary Photos".

    N ° you must actively import photos with the file-> import... command.

    Given that you can delete the file as soon as it is imported - if you have the copy in the library checked preferences - I use a folder called 'imports' on my desk to separate files that I'm importing. Once they are imported files into the import folder can trash.

  • re installed XP. Which if I understand correctly it breaks the path (links) here, where are the pictures. Photos are still there. How to make to restore the links to the photos are located under my pictures. Thank you

    I have not read method 4 5 methods before re install XP on top of the instalation of gooseberry.  Somehow, I had picked up Paladan or palladium that froze my system and wouldn't let me go unless I bought it.  So I used the recovery disc to repair XP.  Once I did I found that all my photos did not appear in my photos.  I installed Picasa and can send pictures very well.  I would like to get XP to recognize the photos so I can use Outlook to send photos.

    I read a few other posts and wonder why in method 4 to install in a separate folder?

    The installation disc said repair and I just let it go in automatic mode. How does the system decide which version to boot from?  When it is in a different folder with a new name?  Is it the latest version installed to boot from or what.

    Thank you

    Hi Muddlinthru,

    · What article are you talking about for relocation?

    · Where are the photos?

    · You receive an option to select the operating system to load into the start menu?

    Important : reinstall the Windows operating system or upgrade your OS on-site is a troubleshooting step extreme that you should only take if you fully understand the ramifications and risks involved. If you decide to take this step, make sure that you have the original Windows XP media and product installation key provided with your operating system. If you are not comfortable trying to reinstall or to repair the Windows operating system, you can contact the manufacturer of your computer for help or bring your computer to a professional repair shop.

  • where is the wallpaper of graphic files located?

    The place of 'repair' who 'fixed' my computer added a bunch of pictures that I want to DELETE my "Properties" and I also want to add files customized for the wallpaper.  Where are the files located on the C drive?  They have not yet found and to tell you the truth, just can't remember where they are.  : )

    I don't think that this place of the computer's real competent...  I don't want to take my office back in there for this problem, I think I can fix my own.  I built this 'thing'!

    Thanks for any help/comments/hints/instructions that you have!

    Katie

    Hello 1Startdancer,

    My apologies. I assumed (wrongly) that the photos had been stored in the folder of wallpaper. It seems that the repairman took pictures "as wallpaper."  To do this the photos must be stored in the folder "photo". If you already have other copies of these photos elsewhere the best solution is to delete all those photos in the folder "photo". Once you've done that, go into display properties (right click on the desktop and select Properties, and then in the Properties window, select desktop). Once you see the list of wallpapers, select one that naturally belongs to Windows (do not select one of the photos you want to get rid of that) and then click on apply. Once you have selected a windows desktop and the desktop has refreshed, close display properties and then open the properties of display again. Photos that you removed should be now is no longer there.

  • Using the folder of photos with the photos app

    I have all my photos in the pictures under my user name folder. iTunes also recognizes this organization. How the photos and their organization and imported read in the photo app? It would be nice not having to set up folders and organize again. I've never used iphoto or photos.

    If you import pictures to Photos it will ignore your records and the structure of the library of photo capture date and location data.  All the photos taken on the same day in the same place will be grouped into a 'moment '.  You can create your own folder structure and albums on top of this automatic structure.

  • Move the folder of Photos on an external drive

    Hello my MacBook Air is near capacity. I'm going through iTunes and Photos on an external drive to free up disk space on the internal drive. I searched the threads and found the right solution for iTunes. I moved the entire iTunes folder to the external drive. Then, in the Advanced tab of iTunes preferences, I made the file to the new location on the external hard drive. That worked very well.

    Now, I'm ready to try the same process with my library of Photos (which also includes years of photos iPhoto migrated). Can I move the folder full of images (as I did with iTunes) or simply pictures library on external drive? My suspicion is the entire pictures folder, because it also contains the migrated iPhoto Pictures folders, Lightroom, Adobe and Photo Booth also. After searching for the discussions, it is not clear to me how to do it with pictures.

    Thank you

    Jon

    You can move either; Once completed, launch Photos with the key Option key, click library and choose the one on the external hard drive. ITunes library should be moved in the same way rather than change the setting in the preferences.

  • Where is the folder 'All messages' past? How can I get that back?

    Hello.

    At some point the "mail all the" folder for my Gmail account disappeared in Thunderbird. There are still at Gmail.com (twice, actually). I had hoped that it will reappear when I installed T-bird on my new machine, but no luck. No idea where it might have and how can I get it back?

    I tried the account settings / sync / storage / synchronization of Message / advanced, but it is not there on the list to be selected. (It's here for another Gmail account that I use, but not for the one in question). I'm running Thunderbird 31.1.2 8.1 Windows

    Any suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you very much
    Barb

    I see other screenshots that you are indeed the quota on the server.

    When this happens, generally you move messages from the server to the local folders.
    You have created another Gmail account and moved the messages to the new account. It is possible, but this isn't something I would have done well.

    When you are still 95% usage of the storage on the server for the original account, "transposed" messages still exist there.
    You must delete messages that you have successfully "moved" to the new account in the original account.
    You can do this via Thunderbird or by logging into your account via a web browser.
    After deleting the messages also make sure to empty the trash.

    You've apparently created a mess with your Gmail labels, and I don't know what you did and how you did it.
    Your screenshots, it looks like there are labels on the server that are not visible in Thunderbird. They may be those containing your mail, and that the mail is not visible in Thunderbird.
    Labels (including all mail) do not disappear unexpectedly, while there must be something you have done. Without more information as you did, I don't know how this can be fixed.

    For the moment to familiarize yourself with the notion of Gmail label.

  • Where is the folder Prefetch in Vista Home Basic?

    I just tried on TuneUp Utilities 2012.I have 1 problem left supposibly. He told me that some program or something deletes files in my Prefetch folder and I would have a faster start-up if it were to cease. Everything seems to be mostly automated except this perticular problem. I don't know where is the Prefetch folder or what to do to stop everything that removes the information. Is there a setting that is incorrect, or is there a download that can solve this problem?

    Hello

    Whenever you turn on your computer, Windows guard track of the way your computer starts and which programs you usually open. Windows saves this information in a number of small files in the prefetch folder. The next time you turn on your computer, Windows refers to these files to help speed up the boot process.

    The prefetch folder is a subfolder of the Windows system folder. The prefetch folder is independent now, and there is no need to remove or to empty its contents. If you empty the folder, Windows and your programs will take longer to open the next time you turn on your computer.

    I suggest you try to perform the clean boot and check if it helps:

    NOTE: When you are finished troubleshooting, make sure that you reset the computer in start mode normal such as suggested in step 7 of the above article.
