 iPhoto 2: Where's the iphoto library
Hi! In iPhoto 1, one could actually locate the individual photos and the albums in a file named iPhoto Library situated in the Pictures folder of the User. I just started using iPhoto 2 and not only can't I locate that folder but a search on my whole disk for an album I just created comes out empty! Can anyone help me, please? Thanks! biscotte  |

Obviously, edX, they're there, somewhere, since I can shut down the computer (iBook), turn it on again, and iPhoto 2 opens with the photos and albums intact. But a search on the whole disk for the name of an album or even the name of a photo doesn't get me anything. I'm lost, really! |

Files in iPhoto have "abnormal" names like 007_01A.jpg, this is what you have to look for. And the files are in folders that are named with the year (folder name: "2002").

must be a pref or something because all mine get named 'image001' etc. but yea, searching for your 2002 or 2003 folder might be a good start.

Unfortunately, I've tried searching by year also. Nothing works. The photos seem not to exist anywhere, but they appear when I open iPhoto 2. I might resolve myself to re-install iPhoto in the hope that everything will come back to normal. But before I do, I'll wait a bit in case one of you, guys, comes up with a miracle! Until then, thanks a lot edX and chevy for your help! biscotte |

did you try to look for all ".jpg" files on your disk ? did you try in all partitions ? did you start searching from to level ?

I just had an idea. If I'm not mistaken, when one creates an album and takes photos from the main library and transfers them to an album, iPhoto creates aliases of the originals and places them in these albums. Well, believe it or not, I do not have a single alias ending with .jpg on my entire disk. But yet, in iPhoto, I have 2 albums containing photos taken from the main iPhoto library whose namesall end in .jpg Thought i'd tell you. Personnaly, I don't understand at all what's going on. Let the comments and suggestions come in, though. I don't feel as lonely with my weird problem! biscotte |
