Lost albums and triple items after archive & install

Hopefully, I can write this so it is understandable.
First of all, I had a similar problem to some I have read here when I transferred my photos from my old G4 to my new imac, I found I had lots of those nasty grey boxes with the question marks. I did find that the originals were there, just in another roll but it happened to many different photos with no apparent connection. But.....I recently had a problem with my new imac and we had to do an archive and install...
Well, now I no longer have the grey boxes...(at least I don't think so) but I lost all my albums and I now have 30,500 items when I originally had only 10,000. (that is why I am not sure about the grey boxes, because I have not been able to open every photo)
It appears that I have all the originals, the modified, and the thumbnails showing up in the main library. I have iphoto library manager and when I open the only other library thru photo manager, it retained the albums in that one!!!
My concern is that I don't want to go in and start deleting photos and somehow screw up the whole library. I can always redo the albums, that is not the biggest problem. But 30,500 items to go through???? Not sure what to do next.
I hope this makes sense....
Thanks Judy

Although not recommended, it can be changed, but as you have seen, there are consequences if not done correctly.

  • Append variable and array items after a record array search

    I would like to update a variable and array item after a record array search, and wanted to know what would be the best way of carrying it out in Javascript.
    In this case, if a match is found between the variable and area item, then the postcode item should be appended to the variable.
    The same needs to be done for the array items, but I reckon that a for loop would work best in this scenario, as each individual item would need to be accessed somehow.
    Btw due to the nature of my program, there will always be a match. Furthermore, I need to be able to distinguish between the singleAddress and multipleAddresses variables.
    Hopefully this code explains things better:
    // before search
    var singleAddress = "Mount Farm";
    var multipleAddresses = ["Elfield Park", "Far Bletchley", "Medbourne", "Brickfields"];
    // this is the record which the search needs to be run against
    plot = [{
    postcode: "MK1",
    area: "Denbigh, Mount Farm",
    postcode: "MK2",
    area: "Brickfields, Central Bletchley, Fenny Stratford, Water Eaton"
    postcode: "MK3",

  • Username and Password won't work after Archive & Install...?

    Can someone help me out here. I had to do an Archive and install on my sisters iMac G4 this evening, for Tiger OSX. She was getting continual Kernel Panics and could not boot to her desktop even once. So I did the Archive and Intsall, but after 2.5 hours and using both Disc 1 and Disc 2 for the process (like it had asked for)...and it all finished, a welcome screen pops up after the OS launches prompting me to enter the computer name, and password. We have this information saved, and always have, but the iBook is not accepting them?? Any thoughts or suggestions on what we should do next? The options I have on this screen are (sleep, restart, shutdown, or login...with the name and password fields above) Thanks everyone. Any help would be much appreciated.
    Sincerely,
    Smartmediaman

    I did check those options to preserve the users and network prefs. Just put in the install disc 1 and ran change password, but the only option in the drop down was for the system administrator (root), and I put in a new password, and confirmed it, then...rebooted to desktop and same window popped up prompting me to enter the computer's username and password, and still...nothing worked. Any other ideas folks? Thanks,

  • Time Machine no longer backs up after archive & install

    I have just had something mysterious happen to my Macbook - it spontaneously shut down, then wouldn't restart past a gray screen with Apple logo. After trying every troubleshooting page I could find, I ended up doing an archive and (re)install of Leopard on my hard drive. (btw, I ran the Disk Utility hard drive diagnostic, and it said the HD is fine, though I'm skeptical because it's making new noises I've never heard before.)
    I finished that install, restarted, everything seemed fine, and I re-connected the external hard drive that had been used for my Time Machine backups before. Now, every time it attempts to back up, it's stuck on "preparing" for 30 minutes, then starts copying SLOWLY and the progress bar says "6 KB of 10 GB." Well, I have a lot more than 10 GB to back up. Then the process halts and I get an error message: "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume." And I can't get any more specific information about the error - can't find a log file or anything.
    I know that there's a troubleshooting article about Time Machine issues with only backing up 10 GB, but mine doesn't even get that far, and besides, this is not my first Time Machine backup - I have no other external drive big enough to transfer my older data to while I reformat this drive as the support article suggests.
    I was thinking that perhaps a system setting got messed up somehow and that maybe I should just forget this archive & install thing I did and instead do a fresh erase & install on my Macbook hard drive and then restore from Time Machine's old backup (a day or so before my Macbook started acting weird). But 1. would that make a difference? And 2. if Leopard gives me an error while backing up in Time Machine, what if I do the erase & install and I get an error trying to restore from Time Machine? That would be a nightmare.
    My Macbook has always been so reliable - I'm very confused about what's going on! Any help would be appreciated.

    Hmm; the external drive had no errors, according to Disk Utility.
    Here are the time machine logs from Console:

  • Exchange 2010 SP2 : Move calander entries and Task items from Archive mailbox to current active mailbox.

    Hi,
    After upgrade the exchange 2010 SP1 to SP2, all users calendar and task items entries also moved to archive mailbox from user's active mailboxes.
    We like to move 90 days older emails to archive mailbox but not calendar & task items to be moved.
    Any solution to move back those older archive calendar and task items to active mailbox users and also any settings to stop further to move calendar & task items to archive mailbox in SP2?
    Thanks

  • Deleting folder after Archive & Install...

    Hello.....A couple of months ago I did an archive and install and for some reason which is unclear to me now I never deleted the Previous Systems folder. The Previous Systems folder is on the HD.
    I'm trying to clear off my HD now and have also run across another Applications folder. When I click on the Hard Drive and then click on Applications there is another applications folder in the list and I click on it and it looks the same at the first Applications. .
    My question is this: Can I delete the PS folder and the "other" applications folder and not lose anything or do I need to some further checking? Would any new downloads since the Archive & Install show up in both 'Applications' folders?
    Thank you for your time.

    Hi Kappy......This is what I wrote previously:
    +I'm trying to clear off my HD now and have also run across another Applications folder. When I click on the Hard Drive and then click on Applications there is another applications folder in the list and I click on it and it looks the same as the first Applications. .+
    Sorry if this wasn't clear. The applications folder that is showing in the list (see above) appears to be a copy (it shows everything the same as the other one...of course, I haven't opened each item and looked to see if anything is different) of the APPLICATIONS first clicked on...if you can follow my directions above...LOL

  • QTPro shows reg# but not enabled after archive install

    I bought QT Pro when it was 7.0.3 & Pro features worked fine. Then I recently 'archive & installed' my OSX to fix other bugs. Now QT doesn't launch as Pro, even though my 7.0.3 registration # does come up in the registration section. I have not upgraded QT since then, not going to re-buy Pro over and over, and can confirm that it is still 7.0.3 I'm running. Any ideas? Please help.

    I think I figured it out. My ATI 9600Pro video card was missing some drivers after the archive/install. I read somewhere that archive/install doesn't necessarily archive eeeeverything.
    Anyway, when I launched the ATI monitor program (on a lark) it said 'yo, I'm missing a few things, load up that DVD driver disk again." So I did and badabing, problem appears to have been solved.
    QT still doesn't technically SAY it's pro still, but all the features are still there. So that's still a little wierd, but probably a different issue.
    So thanks all for the efforts. Hopefully this'll help someone else someday.

  • Reset Mail & Address Book prefs back after Archive & Install

    Please let me know what files I need to move around to get back my old mail files & address book. Also some of my programs won't start. They say they are missing files. What do I do?

    Okay, here is the whole story with this:
    I left on vacation & came back 7 days later. As I booted & began to try to download my vacation pics from my camera, it seemed really slow, so I had to force shut down. When I tried to reboot, it doesn't get past the gray screen with the apple & progress indicator. It just spins & spins but goes nowhere. I have seen where people have posted that they came back after a couple hours & their computer was working. No luck here, I left it on all day while I was at a work, & it was still stalled at the same spot when I came home. Below are the things I have tried:
    1. DiskWarrior. (I can get it to boot from the CD using the C command on startup.) It ran through replacing the directory. Found a bunch of errors but fixed them. Shows the hard drive is fine. After rebooting & the computer still stalling, I tried DiskWarrior again but it showed nothing wrong.
    2. Tried zapping PRAM & NVRAM. No luck.
    3. Disk Utility. I ran disk utility. It found no disk errors. Tried again, still stalls.
    4. Tried holding down shift key to start in safe mode, but it does nothing at all.
    5. I did a search on Apple.com & found where it said to find the file BaseSystem.pkg & get it into /Library/Receipts. Replaed the file with the one from the Tiger install CD. Still stalls.
    6. Decided to just go do an Archive & Install to replace the old system, but it won't let me. Says I have a newer version & have to do a clean install. This would cause me to loose a bunch of important files that I haven't backed up lately (I know! I know! I'm bad!!!). Freaked a bit.... It would take me forever to burn cds of all my files...
    7. OS 9. So I thought I would try to startup in OS 9.2, & that works. So I am assuming that it is an issue with OS X Tiger.
    8. I also tried to boot up without anything plugged in but the keyboard & mouse. Still stalled.
    9. I also tried repairing the permissions using Disk Utility from the Tiger CD, but it gave me an error "No Valid Packages".
    10. Also, I also held down Command V & this is the jabberwacky that come up:
    copywright info
    using 655 buffer headers and 655 cluster IO buffer headers

    Kept trying and trying & got it to let me verify/repair the permissions. Then I verify/repair the disk. Everything was fine. I was able to back up all my document files in OS9. But I still had them because the I did the archive & install. But the inbox for my mail, along with my address book (& some other stuff I am sure I will miss soon) I would like to get back to normal. Please let me know if this is possible.
    Thanks,

  • HDV codec missing after Archive & Install?

    I use FC Studio (FCP 5.0.4), QT 7.2
    Last Thursday I began importing HDV for a project from a Sony HDR FX-1E (HDV 1080i) with all the capture settings set properly. Capture results were fine.
    Yesterday I had to Archive and install Tiger due to some severe font issues which were affecting the performance of the machine.
    Today it seems some of QT's HDV codecs have gone missing, even with the software updated and running. I can open the clips in QT and hear sound, but no picture, only white screen. I can't set sequences properly in FCP either. It tells me a codec is missing and it sets the QT compressor automatically to "animation".
    Is there any way to solve this? Do I have to reinstall FCP? I am already seeing my monday morning deadline slipping away! If anyone can offer any advice, it would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks in advance.

    *Do I have to reinstall FCP*
    Yes, you do... After an archive & install quicktime is reinstalled in its standard configuration... The HDV codec is ususally installed by FCP...

  • Where are my apps after archive & install?

    I was having some problems with some apps on my iMac 400 DV such as Mail and Address Book would not run, they would immediately shut down.
    I did an archive & install from Retail os 10.2 discs and now, my HP Director ALL-In-One is gone. It seems that the actual folder is still there but now the dock icon is gone and the director does not start up automatically like before.
    Thanks.

    I suspect the User account info is missing rather than the applications. 
    Go to Macintosh HD > Applications > and run the application you're missing in the Dock. Once the icon is on the right hand edge of the dock hold down the Ctrl key and click the icon. Choose "Keep In Dock".
    Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accounts > Choose your name on the left hand pane and then click Login Items Click on the + towards the bottom, navigate to and select the applications you wish to load automatically.
    Merry Christmas

  • Password Rejected after Archive Install

    Recently, I messed up my mac while playing round with system theme settings, so after browsing the net for a bit I found the only option to be an Archive Install, as I didn't want to lose my data. Once this had finished, all seemed to be fine. The login screen came up with my icon, and it took me to the password screen. All normal. Then I tried entering my password, and it was rejected.
    So I'm currently locked out of my repaired computer. Any solutions or links, please post! I've seen several instances of problems when upgrading to leopard from early versions of OSX, but none of when it's been simply reinstalled to fix errors.
    +Thanks in advance.+

  • Front row deleted after archive + install

    I was having some problems with my, mac, archived + installed, 2nd disk was bad, took mac into store, they archived and installed, now I don't have front row. Where can I get it, or do I have to wait till I get a new disk or take it back to the store?
    Thanks!

    Insert your Mac OS X install disk that came with your Mac (you do NOT need to startup from the disk) and double-click on the "Install Bundled Software Only" option. After selecting the destination, there is a "Customize" button where you can uncheck or check on all of the additional software that shipped with the Mac. If Front Row is all you need, just uncheck all of the other options and make sure Front Row is checked "on". Then continue with the installer.
    When you have reinstalled Front Row, use Software Update to get latest update for Front Row.

  • IPhoto won't start up after archive & install

    Hi all.
    Recently I had to perform an archive & install after the System>Library>System Resources folder got trashed. I did this as it sometimes gets corrupted and cause the iMac to constantly wake from sleep. Previously the folder always restored itself, but not this last time. See this old thread for more details:

    My wife actually did the archive & install. We had been running Mac OS X 10.6.3, reverted back to 10.5.6 and then I upgraded back to 10.6 (the iMac came with both OSes) and then downloaded the combi update to 10.6.3 again.
    Well now when I try to launch iPhoto I get the following error report:

    Dyld Error Message:

    Referenced from: /Applications/Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/MacOS/iPhoto
    Reason: image not found
    It looks like something is missing. Any ideas as to how to fix this?
    Also we now seem to have doubles of many Apple apps, originals that were saved from before the archive & install and new ones from reinstalling the OS. Perhaps this is related to the problems? The other apps I have tried so far seem OK though.
    Any help much appreciated.

    You need to re-install iPhoto as it is missing that iLife Slideshow component.
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.

  • Albums and faces missing after repair

    I keep my iPhoto library on an external drive and even though I did not remove it a warning popped up saying iPhoto couldn't find my library and that the disk had been ejected (not safely). Next it said that I should relaunch iPhoto after which it said my library needed  repairing. All good. I have all my photos but I have lost albums & faces. When you click on faces all the faces I have ever saved are in there and you can see them when you hover over the thumbnails of them but if you click on one it says there are no photos to display? Should I shut down iPhoto, eject the disk safely and restart my computer? Will this help or is there something else I should do?
