Apple physically replaced the HD on my Imac. I backed up everything on a Seagate Go Flex Desk for Mac external drive for Mac. I went through the motions to restore my Iphoto Library back to my computer. Can't find them!!!!!
Apple replaced my hard drive on my Imac. I'm lucky I backed up everything on a Seagate Go Flex Desk for Mac external drive via Time Machine . I followed directions in order to restore my iphoto library , but I can't seem to find it on my computer. Are the files locked?
No reason to assume they are locked. The library will be restored to the location it was backed up from, unless you specified somewhere else. Have you looked in your Pictures Folder?

If it it does not not work, reconnect your modem, then reconnect your network utilites, use assistance. -
I have a DM*******FJ3 iPad
I put a SIM card in it and it worked beautifully
I went away the sim does not work abroad and updated the management programme while away
When I came back the sim wouldn't work and when rebooted after update an error message no SIM appeared and it has been there since
I booked an Apple review at the shop in lakeside they were unable to find a fault said it was a hardware problem and I would need to buy a new iPad
I then phoned apple apple help who talked me through a reset
At the reset a lot of photos of the birth of my granddaughter went missing the albums they were in was missing
I then booked an appointment at Genius Bar in covent garden
They backed up the computer on arrival
Their conclusion was the photos lost forever as the back up had overwritten the backed up photos that hasn't downloaded properly when reinstating backup
The pins in the iPad drawer for the sim are broken and I need a new iPad
Apart from being furious that despite apple knowing the problem was about lost photos they have by their actions lost them
The sim stopped working without the drawer being opened
The only people to open the drawer since it stopped working are apples employees so if pins are broken apple has broken them and still haven't identified the more likey software problem that stopped the sim working as it happened afte an update
It is impossible to visualise the pins in the SIM card slot I have tried with an ophthalmoscope and can't see them so how an Apple employee can see with his naked eye is beyond me
This seems to be a problem with this iPad as the net is littered with problems regarding this fault so I'm sure Apple know about it
My friend with a company use of these iPads has had several develop this problem and they have been replaced as staff have admitted to him it is a known fault
Wy should so done have one level of truth compared to another
Staff should not lie just to get someone out of a shop if they really don't know the answer
I feel I have highlighted several staff training issues and would like some reassurance that action is being taken about this don't seem to be able to find a way to complain to Apple Anyone know how?
There is an obvious problem with the SIM card comparability in this iPad I believe a software problem and would to know if it is actually being addressed and when a new update comes out will it ever work again or do I really have a useless piece of equipment now?
Are my photos really lost as staff have been useless at everything else I can't help but hope they don't know a retrieval route for this either
Any help very grateful
<Edited By Host>Actually, I'm sorry. I just re-read your post and you were certainly clear. I somehow got it in my head you set up the new phone from iCloud backup.
Since you've had the phone one week (I hope I got that right at least?) you are entitled to technical support directly with Apple. I'd either call them (1-800-MY-APPLE) or schedule a meeting at the Genius Bar at your Apple Store. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful. -
I took my Mac Mini to the Apple store yesterday since I was having trouble with difficult to read text. They recommended wiping the drive and reloading it. I lost iMovie, iPhoto and Garage band in the process. How can I get them back. The App store says they are already installed.
What I missed was that I needed to select "Purchased" rather than using the normal listing of items. Once I went to the purchased list I could easily download the various software.
Thank you all for your help.

When I access my email from the iPhone, new messages appear only briefly and then immediately disappear, before I do anything. Only old messages that were already in my inbox are visible. I can't find the new messages anywhere -- they have not moved to Saved, Junk, Trash, anything. IT is like the iPhone just ate them. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
If you have a POP3 account this means that another "client" email program has retrieved the messages and deleted the messages from the server. You need to change the server settings on that device to leave the messages on the server.
If you have an IMAP or MS Exchange account this means that someone read the messages on another device and either deleted them or moved them to another folder. Or there is an automated script that moved them to another folder. -
I have iCloud but these pics are not there, why did it erase them?
The photos could/most likely ARE still in photostream. I just did this with my ipad yesterday.
Log onto iCloud from a desktop in iPhoto and see if they alreaady synced over photostream first. -
Some of the choices on "options" in iPhoto aren't highlighted. I can't use them.
I am not able to use "options" on my iPhoto app. Most of the choices aren't highlighted so they aren't available to me. Is there anyway to fix this?
Which menu are you referring to? Do you have a photo(s) selected before trying to use those options?

I am running Windows 7 and Thunderbird 26.6.0 I guess I should have made new archive folders under my new e-mail account and transferred everything into them before i deleted the old account, but I didn't know all the archive folders were going to disappear. I know nothing ever actually goes totally away, but I have no idea how to find it. If anyone can help, with relatively simple instructions, geared toward a semi-computer iliterate, I would really appreciate it. Thanks, Len

Help! My iPad prompted me to upgrade iTunes, so I did. Now all my music is unfindable. All I can see in iTunes is the store and recent purchases. All the other music, audio etc is invisible. Where have the files gone? And does anybody know of a better software management for music? Thanks!
Hi,
Can you please clarify your problem? iTunes on an ipad is an integral part of iOS 6, so there would be no separate update.
Was the update on your computer and if so, what version of iTunes did you have and what version did you upgrade to.

Help,
New to Firefox. Where do I find the "file" button????Hello,
The menu bar is hidden as most commands can be found in the three bar menu. You can show it by pressing Alt, or by right clicking one of the spaces around your address bar and clicking Menu Bar, or by going to the three bar menu:
* [[Image: New Fx Menu]] > Customize > Show / Hide Toolbars > Menu Bar
As for the New Mail Account, are you sure you're not confusing Firefox with Thunderbird, the email application?

ICC profiles
Formerly ICC profiles where placed in the Home map: library/colorcync/profiles. But the home map doesKees, the color profiles are still stored in your user library in
~/ColorSync/Profiles/
I can't find them back in the /library/colorSync/Profiles.
Are you looking in the System Library folder /Library/colorSync/Profiles at the top level of your system drive?
As you probably know, your User Library is hidden since Mac OS X Lion.
You can reveal it from the Finder's "Go" menu in the main menu bar:
Finder > Go
Then hold down to options-key ⌥, until Library appears in the drop-down menu. Select it and open the Library.

Restore saved iPhoto library after hard drive repair
My hard drive crashed and Apple were kind enough to repair it although it happened 1 week after the extended warranty expired. I was able to save the hard drive files to an external drive just before it died, but now when I try and import the iPhoto library back into the newly repaired computer one of 2 things happen: The photos begin to transfer and then the application (iPhoto) unexpectedly quits, or, the blue bar at the bottom says Working and nothing happens for as long as 10 minutes.
I would really appreciate some help as I no longer have covered support. One of the photo text files may be corrupted. How do I identify the problem file?
Thanks very much,
Colin SieffThat's because importing from another iPhoto Library folder isn't the way to restore an iPhoto Library. I'm surprised you were able to do it without a bunch of warning dialogs.
If you still have the original iPhoto Library folder intact, the thing to do is restore it as I've described earlier. If you have sufficient disk space, quit iPhoto and drag the existing iPhoto Library folder from Pictures to the desktop. Then drag your backup iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, and the only thing left to do is to start iPhoto. If all's well, move the desktop copy of the iPhoto Library folder to the trash, then empty the trash. -
My 7-year-old iMac died. I don't plan to replace it. It is backed up to Crashplan. Is it possible to restore my iPhoto library to the cloud, i.e. iCloud or Dropbox, so that I can access the photos as needed from my iPad or iPhone?
Probably not - but that certainly does not involve iPhoto for the Mac - you need to look at Crashplan support for you options
And iCloud is not a place to store photos so that is certainly not a possibility
If you restore your masters folder out of the iPhoto library you will have all of your original photos to do with what you please
