Please Tell Me This Can Be Fixed!

After trying to locate duplicates using a program called Tidy Up and having problems, I decided to go back via Time Machine and reinstate the iPhoto library before using TU.  Well, I got some photos back but many are now missing.  Below is what I see: 
There are spaces where the photos "should" be but aren't.  This is disastrous as many of our vacation shots are gone + various family photos that aren't reproducible.  I'm reluctant to mess anymore with iPhoto at this point.  If anyone has any idea on what happened, or, how to fix this I would be eternally grateful.

Primary Rule of iPhoto (and all database programs) NEVER make any changes of any sort to the contents of the database using any program other than the database program
you have destroyed your library using Tidy Up - your choices are to load your backup from prior to your doing this (this is why you always have backups to protect from errors, human, software and hardware) or to create a new library and start over with the originals from your old library
Bottom line - it can not be fixed - never use third party programs to modify the contents of the iPhoto database

    The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13 version. Evidently something in that extension isn't compatible with a Firefox security fix. Disable that extension or un-install it.

  • Apple can you please tell us when you are fixing original iPhone?

    can someone from apple please tell us your plan for fixing the original iphone and the "incorrect signal strength formula"?

    yes you are correct in your statement but i was curious to see if that interpretation was correct so i called....after about 15 minutes a supervisor came on the phone and said the update is not available for the original iPhone because it is only for the 4.0 software which is not compatible with the original iPhone...and i may not have actually known what was going on but i did realize that i could not make phone calls at certain times even though I had 1 or 2 bars....now i realize this was because of the "incorrect signal strength formula" that has been present since the launch in the original iPhone as you stated....just becuase i could not pinpoint the problem (becuase i am not an engineer) does not mean i used the phone flawlessly with no problems...now that i now what the cause of the problem is i can identify it every time it happens...i used to just think that maybe the call was dropped but in fact i never had any service to begin with because the phone incorrectly displayed that i had service when i did not

    I stand corrected, apparently the first year discount for previous CS customers is still in place.

    evry time after sync. my iphone 4 ios 4.3.3 with itunes 10.3.1.55 the time change up one more hour ,, please tell me what can i do to solve this problem

    This year, the government has canceled the daylight saving time , that's why happening this problem to me so I changed the time zone in iPhone from Cairo,Egypt (GMT+2 with daylight saving) to Harare,Zimbabwe (GMT+2 without daylight saving , no change in time from summer & winter) & now working good, no change in time after sync. , But it's very stupid thing from apple that they didn't add an option in time setting to enable or disable the daylight saving time like any other mobile.

  • I have iphone 4g and have updated to ios6 an updated itunes 2, but while sync itunes freezes and iphone is not sybc fully, finally i have to disconnect my iphone for itunes to shunt down. Can some one please tell why this is happening?

    I have iphone 4g and have updated to ios6 an updated itunes 2, but while sync itunes freezes and iphone is not sybc fully, finally i have to disconnect my iphone for itunes to shunt down. Can some one please tell why this is happening?

    I am having this problem.  At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2.  I am not sure why this is happening. 
    My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
    The problem mainly occurs with apps.  I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them.  The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
    Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage.  It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup.  With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up.  The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
    My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete.  This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
    I have been wondering if others have had these same problems.

    hello rodale, what you're seeing is probably a side effect of firefox not being able to save certain preferences into its profile folder.
    go to ''firefox > help > troubleshooting information'', click on ''profile folder/show folder'' and close all firefox windows afterwards. a windows explorer window should open up - in there delete the file named '''user.js'''.
    in case this didn't solve the issue yet please also refer to [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].

    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
    Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or photos.apple.com is not blocked by a firewall, or other Internet security setting.
    Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps underAdvanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.
    Restore your device while connected to a different network.

  • Please tell me how can  declare an array of object.

    how to create a two dimentional array object of a class.
    let,
    class abc{
    abc(){
    is it posible--
    abc ss=new abc[10][10]
    please tell me how can declare an array object.

    then always use String and don't consider
    StringBuffer at the outset. 'best practices' need not
    be seen as premature optimization. besides, if it is
    abstracted, does not matter how it is stored
    internallyNot sure I would agree with this example - a String is immutable, if I want to change the object then using a StringBuffer makes sense (conveys the intend, yada, yada, yada).
    Although, I do agree with you that some optimizations are best practices and should be used. I also come from the old days when optimization was always on our mind. Also, I would not expect someone to do something like re-calculate a value every time it is needed instead of storing the value in a variable, just to avoid optimization.
    I just think that the example of using a 1-dimensional array when a 2-dimentional array is a better representaion of the "real world" will both obscure the intention and compicate the code.

    vechr good guys please tell me I can not activate iphone 3gs unlock after the official sees no sim card

    Disable your antivirus and firewall.
    If that doesn't fix it either the phone was jailbroken or hacked, or the computer you are using was used to hack or jailbreak some other iDevice.

  • Could someone please tell me how can I password protect individual folders?

    Hi
    I use a MacBook Pro 17" with MacOSX(10.4.7) Could someone please tell me how can I password protect individual folders?
    Thanks
    Adnan Yousuf

    Adnan,
    One way to do this is to use Disk Utility to make a password protected disk image of the folder(s) that you need to secure. This is probably the easiest way to do it.
    Go to Disk Utility and choose "New Image" and select encryption.
