Mt iPhoto library has disappeared from my laptop after syncing my new iPhone with the laptop. I now have a new iPhoto library with no photos. I have tried pressing option when opening iPhoto but I only get one library option and can't find my old one

My iPhone4s was recently replaced by apple due to grey out on wifi. when I went to sync with my laptop my iPhoto library disapeared and I was left with an empty library. I cannot find my old library on my laptop. I only get one option for a library when i open iPhoto while holding down option key. I am worried I have lost all my photos. there seems ot be no iPhoto library on my iCloud either.
Any suggestions?

Syncing with an iPhone should not delete the iPhoto library on your mac. It only will upload photos to the phone (iTunes sync) or import (connecting by USB). How did you sync your phone?
TD, do you know of any way, that a sync could delete an iPhoto Library on a Mac?
You may have opened a wrong library or may be working from a different user account. Are you using the same user name and Apple ID as before?
How have you searched for iPhoto libraries? Have you searched with Spotlight?
Each iPhoto library contains a file called "Library6.iPhoto" - even if your iPhoto library should no longer be recognisable as photolibrary, this file should be found:
Type "Library6" into the "Spotlight" search field in the upper right corner of your screen, like this:
When you see a list of files, select one of them and hold down the key combination ⌥⌘ to reveal the path to the file.
If Spotlight cannot find the file in the packages, use "FindAnyFile"  http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile

  • I am trying to connect my Macbook pro 2010 to my Samsung HDTV using a mini display port to hdtv cable. Trying to play a slide show in IPhoto but I only get sound with no picture. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I keep saying this over and over, in the hope that people who do a search will find it.  Apple cannot possibly test for or be reponsible for the bazillion combinations of adapter, cables, and TV's out there.  The only monitors that are 100% guaranteed to work with the MacBook Pro are the Cinema Displays and Thunderbolt Displays, because, they're made by Apple.  They're expensive, but they work perfectly.
    My guess is that you bought a cheap MDP to HDMI cable, or have a defective one.  From my reading of these boards over the past few months, cheap cables have a high failure rate.  And the regular priced ones have only a slightly less of one.  Try a new one.  Make sure you do not damage the Thunderbolt port.

    Get an external hard drive, some good ones that I like are the OWC, http://www.macsales.com Mercury Elite Pro drives...they are very good and reasonably priced.
    Get the drive, connect via USB or FireWire, then use Disk Utility to format the new drive as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled), and then use Disk Utility to Restore the current drive to the new drive.  Restore actually clones the drive so you will have a bootable backup on the external drive.
    After you have formatted and named the external drive, click Restore in the main Disk Utility window, drag the name of the old hard drive to the Source box, and drag the name of the new external drive to the Destination box.  DU will make an exact clone of the internal drive on the external drive.
    That clone will be a complete backup of the operating system and all of your data.
    You can test it by restarting the iMac and hold the Option key.  That will give you a grey screen showing all bootable drives.  Just click the external drive, then click the upward pointing arrow under it and the iMac will boot from that drive.

  • Trying to down load mountain lion but will only get to 53.25mb

    trying to down load mountain lion but will only get to 53.25mb

    See if this applies:
    Apple has tightened its requirements for this OS upgrade, and some older Macs— even ones that qualified for Lion — won't make the cut for Mountain Lion.
    The general system requirements are straightforward:
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    2GB of memory
    8GB of available space
    Apple also lists which models WILL support Mountain Lion:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    Hope this helps

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    I have jumped from 5.1 to CC. When I open a file originated in illustrator 5.1 in CC it changes the CMYK breakdown. Have tried colour setting changes in Bridge but still have differences. Help!

    Any warnings when opening the file?
    You might need to reset all warnings in preferences.
    Apart from that itlooks like your color management settings are set to convert into profile. This is absolutely not advisable.

  • Nano2G disappears from My Computer after sync

    Alright, so when I connect my nano (version 1.1.3) to my computer, it does all the normal stuff; open up iTunes, show up in My Computer, start auto-syncing. But after it's done syncing, it disappears from My Computer and an error comes up (see below). The iPod, however, still appears in iTunes, the Device Manager, AND the Safely Remove Hardware window(even though I can't do anything with the iPod cuz the computer won't recognize it's there).
    The error:
    F:\ referes to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the Internet or your network, and then try again. If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to a different location.

    okay. so it doesn't look like the problem arises from the underlying Windows-to-drive connection, but rather something to do with the way that the "ipod-ish" software/settings/etc are behaving on the PC.
    my thought here is that we should try a restore of the ipod. that's because preferences like "enable disk use" or "manually manage music" are stored (at least partially) on the ipod itself. a restore should clean those off the ipod and replace them with fresh default settings.
    it would be best to reenable iTunesHelper and the iPod Service (in MSCONFIG) prior to doing the restore (otherwise, we may not be able to get itunes to recognise it as an ipod to do the restore.)
    do you still get the same odd behavior with the ipod on syncing after the restore?

  • Pictures DISAPPEARED from pictures folder after installing lightroom to use with creative cloud

    so i had lightroom on a trail period that had ended.  i had then gone to try out the creative cloud lightroom and it asked me to install.  in hindsight i should have just transferred my files to my external hard drive just in case... but i didn't.  so after installing the new updated lightroom, MOST of my photos have disappeared from their original folder.  like LOTS and LOTS of photos.  but it kept SOME of the photos. 
    can anyone help me?!  lots of memories lost possibly and i'm quite displeased and worried...

    I have never had a program install remove anything... but you might ask in that forum Photoshop Lightroom

  • Please help I keep on getting a failed message and can't find help anywhere

    I switched computers and could not switch songs on my iTunes, even after following instructions, so I did it on my own. I clicked the transfer and sync option, knowing it would replace all my iPod songs with whatever was on my iTunes. Now I can only get 7 songs instead of almost 800 onto my iPod before getting this message:
    "attempting to copy to the disk "MICHELE'S I" failed. An unknown error occurred (-69)"
    I installed the latest version of iTunes, as well as restoring my iPod to factory status, and nothing has happened.
    Please at least give me an idea of what I'm dealing with! I really need help!

  • Cant run itunes, have QuickTime 7.5 but says I need 7.5.5 and can't find it anywhere

  • When opening a WebHelp system in Firefox, it complains that it can't find contentlist.xml--is this needed? What is it?

    When a developer called my online help system (generated in RoboHelp9 as WebHelp) from Firefox, the help seemed to work fine. But he said in Firefox "trace output it complained about 'can not find contentlist.xml’" What is it looking for, and will this cause problems with the functioning of the help?
    There is no topic in my RH9 output by that name.

    Can you replicate the error message yourself? For example, does it appear in Firefox's Error Console (Ctrl+Shift+j)?
    If you aren't getting user complaints about missing functionality, this might be a nonessential file, or it could be a spurious error related to the user's personal configuration (e.g., an add-on).
    There is a more global issue to watch for: During the past year Firefox started enforcing higher security restrictions for local web pages. Your page should be able to access files in the same folder or a subfolder. However, if the RoboHelp page is set up to access resources in a directory that requires navigation through a parent directory, that might be blocked.
    Hope this helps.

  • Mail: Have an email that when I try to delete I get rotating colored circle and mail locks up?

    For the first time, I have received an email from known source and when I go to delete it I get a rotating colored circle and mail locks up. To get out I have to force quit.
    I have an iMac running Lion.
    Any idea of what may be going on here?

    Hello,
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions,  then move these files to the Desktop.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    Then try deleting it in Safe Mode.
