Lost videos in iPhoto during transfer when computer crashed??

I was transferring videos from my iphone 4s to my Powerbook G4 and by default it transfers to my iPhoto account. A prompt came up that the photos (and videos) were transferred sucessfully and asked me if I wanted to keep or delete the photos from my phone. I chose to delete the photos from my phone to make room. In the process of deleting the data from my phone, the computer crashed. When I opened iphoto again the vidoes and pictures that I thought were successfully transfered were no longer there. Please tell me that there is a way to recover this imformation, because it is no longer showing up on my phone and I've checked the trash in iPhoto and on my Mac and nothing is there. I've searched and searched iPhoto and it's definitely not there. This was footage just recorded and no backup on the phone or the computer was recently backed up. Please help.

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see when iPhoto opens?
what fixes have you tried?
where is you library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Lost all my music in itunes after computer crash

Lost all my music in itunes when computer crashed. itune store doesn't show all my purchases. How do I get all my music back?

Browse your iTunes folder. Do you have files in folder in your media folder? In other words, did you really lose the media or did iTunes just lose track of it?
Of course you have a backup you make of your computer before doing any major updates, right?

I tried to save a video to IPhoto, and then when I tried to open IPhoto it told me I can't open the application because classic environment is no longer supported. What does this mean, and how do I get back all my photos and fix this? thanks.

Are purchase items are free to re download when computer crash

When computer crash or broken and need to re install or change with new one, are the purchase items we bought before are free to download or have to pay again? Kindly share your experience
thanks
Troy

Should all show up as "downloads" in Purchases if you use the same Apple ID.
If you have any trouble, contact the App Store support folks - http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/.
Good luck,

Lost videos in iPhoto when upgraded to OS X Lion

When I upgraded to OS X Lion, all my videos were removded from iPhoto, and had been moved to iMovie. At least I think they are all in iMovie, I actually don't know as there were several videos imbedded in different 'events' in iPhoto.
How do I make it so I can continue to store videos in iPhoto?
Thanks, Brian

There is nothing I can find any files even I looked at below...
Is it all disappeared?? I wasn't even asked anything before updated. I have a back up from Time machine..
Is there anything I can do to find my inbox filles??
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences. ( I did )
Click Spotlight. ( I did )
Click the Privacy tab. ( I did )
Drag a folder or an entire volume (your hard drive) to the list. ( I don't find any folder from my hard disk.
If prompted for confirmation, click OK. ( I can't go further than that... )
Remove the item or volume you just added to the list by clicking it and then clicking the minus ("-") button.
Close Spotlight preferences.
Spotlight will re-index the contents of the folder or volume.

Lost some customizations when computer crash

I was right in the middle of work in LR 4.1 and my computer crashed. There was a problem with my video card all of a sudden.
I got that resolved and when I went back into LR, catalog opened fine but SOME of my customizations were gone.
All the user defined presets I had imported were gone.
The customized Name I had put in for my Lightroom interface was gone.
My user defined folders were all gone.
All my publishing plugins were there and working, but I had to reinitialize them with the service.
But all photos were there and histories and import settings, etc . . . They were all fine.
I can eaisly re-build what I need. In fact, it cleaned things up a bit so I can do things a bit differenly. (Tagging is such a beautiful thing)
At first I thought it was a right side/left side thing. It seems like most of the things effected were in the left panel. But then I started noticing a few things in the right panel. Nothing as big. The most notible so far is I always had cropping set to maintain original aspect ratio and I found this was turned off. And then I saw all the information I had set to display on the picture previews was missing . . . . .
I KNOW it's the same catalog file. What happened? The biggest pain will be re-importing my user presets . . . . but I'm dealing with it. It just had to happen in the middle of a big project.

Welcome to the discussions,
if you have a backup of you 3G before you lost the contacts, you could restore from that one. But as every backup replaces the old one, it has to be an iphone backup included in your computer backup routine.
You iphone backup folder is located here:
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

Lost my iTunes when computer crashed

My computer crashed and I had to replace the harddrive. I can reload the software, but is there any way to get back the music purchased from the iTunes store?

OK firstly is there any way to retrieve the files songs from the harddrive? If not go to check purchased music its under advanced then put in your password and account details then it will give u list of your purchased music videos etc It should let u store it or drag it into the new libary. If u have prove that u have paid for it any how they have to give u a refund for it. ITS a tricky bas** when this happens mine went but i had a i pod nano a while back which i saved all files onto its wise to save them onto a usb pen or maybe a i pod shuffle around 70 quid its saves u alot of stress in the long run sorry cant be more help IF U have i pod then get the serial number on the back 11 digits i think contact apple ok laters D

Lost work on pages when computer crashed...any way to retrieve data

My granddaughter had spent three days on a written report on PAGES. She was doing other things on the computer, probably listening to music, which made her computer crash. When the computer was restarted we could not find her report. I need help! She is very upset! Can someone please make me a hero?

Hi,
If the machine's linked to iCloud, the document could possibly have saved it itself to iCloud prior to the machine crashing, although I cannot guarantee this as I'm not entirely sure if Pages for Mac implements this feature, however on iOS devices it automatically saves whilst you work.
Head over to iCloud.com and sign in to see if there's anything there under the Pages app.
Good Luck! Let me know how it goes.
Thanks,

How can I upload my iPods library into a new iTunes account on a new computer. My old account and lilbrary was lost when my computer crashed.

you cant. You can transfer purchases, but nothing that was not purchased with itunes will transfer.
You can import photos as well.

Recovering purchased music when computer crashes

My friends computer has crashed and she lost all of her downloaded music. This made me think about the music I have purchased through the iTunes music store... If my computer crashes and I lose my downloads, is there a way to recover the music I have purchased? Is there a record of my purchases and can I get them again without repurchasing them?

Store policy states that downloads are a one time deal & it's the user's responsibility to backup important files. The store will even send you a reminder to backup your files after every 10-15 downloads. I would strongly suggest that you begin a regular backup program for your music by burning data CD/DVD's or using an external HD. Do not count on the store to allow you to re-download, in case of a disaster, backing up, now, will save you a lot of grief if disaster strikes.

Some home videos in iphoto wont transfer over to my ipad

help...

Try to connect your Iphone/ Ipad to MacBook pro and it will automatic open iphoto and there are options for transfering photos and videos. Other way is to open Image Capture and select where you want to import your photos and videos and just press button Import. You can play videos just by opening the folder where you have imported your photos and videos and open it with quick time player or whatever you have.

Final Cut Pro X freezes during render when computer sleeps?

So I'm experiencing something I've never had to deal with before. I'm running FCPX 10.0.5 on OSX 10.7.4. When I've left FCPX to render complicated sequences/effects everything works normally unless I leave and do not interact with the computer. My computer's energy settings are set to put the computer to sleep in an hour when not being used. When I come back to the computer FCPX is frozen and exhibits a spinning beach ball. The rest of the computer is fine, but it requires a hard reboot (sometimes twice) to get FCPX to work again. I cannot simply force quit. IF my IT dept would give me back admin privileges I could at least test my theory that the sleep setting is the issue but alas it is not so. Has anyone experinced this issue?
My last reboot seems to have fried my RAID setup as well. Lucky for me my big project was just finished and delivered.
thanks
Phil

Open finder to the final cut pro application.
Select Get Info and check prevent app nap.
This is new to Mavericks and will all final cut to keep rendering for longer.
This in addition to stopping the harddrive from sleeping will hopefully help you out.
You can look into the command line program called caffienate as well.

IPhoto 6 launching when computer starts

Hi, it seems out of the blue that my iPhoto 6 program is launching automatically as soon as my computer is finished starting up. Is there any way I can keep the program from opening automatically?
Take Care,
Jess

Jess,
Unless you have a camera or a card reader with a card in it connected to your computer at all times, you might want to see if iPhoto was accidentally set to open at login. If it's in your Dock, hold down on the iPhoto icon to get a menu. If "Open at Login" has a check mark in it, then you need to select that item again to remove the check mark.
Alternatively, in System Preferences, go to Accounts, click on your account, and then the Login Items tab. If iPhoto is listed there, select it, and click the minus to remove it from the list.

Lost Video For Second Movie Clip When Combining 2 files

Good Evening Folks,
I have two rather large home videos I am trying to combine into one. They were recorded on different disks due to time limits per disk.
Both files are in M4V format. I am combining them using Quicktime 7 (a fully registered version I purchased through Apple for just this purpose).
My process is as follows:
1. Open both files in separate Quicktime Windows
2. On the SECOND file, click "Command + C" to copy audio/video
3. On FIRST file, click the >> button to get to the end of the file
4. Hit "Command + V" to paste the data from the second file into the first
5. Save the new, combined file as a new name
NOW, when I open the NEW, combined file in Quicktime, both video and audio work perfectly, and the resulting file is 1.96 GB. BUT, when I add that file to iTunes so it can be played via my Apple TV, the file keeps video and audio for the first half, and kees AUDIO for the second half, but loses video for the second half.
Can anyone think of anything I am doing wrong, or something I can do differently to get this to work (aside from keeping two separate files - I realize that's an option, but not preferable.
Thoughts?

FYI, the final combined file is a .MOV file, not a m4v.
Thanks.
