Updating to iPhoto 9.5.1 lost all my photos. How can I retreive them?

Updating to iPhoto 9.5.1 lost all my photos. How can I retreive them?
I'm on a MacBook Pro using OS X version 10.9.5.
When I attempted to edit a photo in the version I had at the time, I got a message that I must update to iPhoto 9.5.1 to use that function. So I did so. When I reopened iPhoto, all my photos were gone. I looked for them in finder but found none of my photos there in the iPhoto library either.
My Time Machine backup, directs me back to iPhoto.
I just want to re-load my photos. Can you help?

What do you see when you launch iPhoto? How big is your iPhoto library? Where is it located?
Directions for using Time Machine to restore are at the bottom of this article - Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support
And note you NEVER use the finder to access your photos - you only access them using the proper tools - How to Access Files in iPhoto

Updated my iphone 4 to iOS 5.0.1 and then lost all my apps. how can I restore them?

updated my iphone 4 to iOS 5.0.1 and then lost all my apps. how can I restore them?

As long as the apps are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 . If you download them to your computer's iTunes you could then try restoring to your backup and see if that restores them and their settings/content back to your iPhone - a backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content/settings, so for the restore to work fully iTunes needs access to the apps so that it can restore them.

I updated my ipod touch 4th gen to ios 5 and lost all my photos. how can i get it back? i'm using windows 7.

I updated my ipod touch 4th gen to ios 5 and lost all my photos. how can i get it back? i'm using windows 7. help please? thanks!

This was the scenario:
The first time I updated, it was only my music that was lost.
When I got my music back, I lost my apps.
When I got my apps back, my contacts, notes and photos were lost.
Now I got back everything except for my photos.
(Yes, I restored from backup several times since the first update.)
Do you think if I try restoring from back up, my photos that were taken from my ipod will be restored finally?
Thank you.

HT204053 My husband went to upHdate his phone this morning and when he did he lost all his contacts how can he get them back

My husband went to update his phone this morning and when he did he lost all his contacts how can he get them back

Thanks, but I checked iCloud and it has none of them.
If it backed up to my laptop, that died and I just got the new computer. The one that's crashed won't even boot, so there's no way to even tell if it was syncing the contacts along with all the phone photos. Literally happened at the same time - it was because I had the new computer that I was finally able to pull the photos off the phone and make room for the upgrade. It had refused to upgrade for lack of space for some time.
I had thought it was set to sync to iCloud but it vanished from BOTH my phone and the cloud. That's why I'm so angry about it.

If you made a backup using icloud, then restore your 5 to that backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859

Restore from your back up seems an obvious solution.

Lost all saved passwords. how do I retreive them?

I have lost all of my saved passwords in my Tools, Options, Security. How do I go about restarting this so it will save passwords from here forward, or if possible retrieving all of the passwords that were lost. Thank you for any help I can get on this. I have tried everything I know how and I'm unable to retrieve the passwords or get information on how to at least start saving them starting from here.
Thank You

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files key3.db and signons.sqlite that store the encrypted names and passwords in Firefox. 
Rename the files key3.db and signons.sqlite in the Firefox profile folder. 
You can add .old to the file names (key3.db.old and signons.sqlite.old) or move them to another folder to make it possible to undo the action. 
You need to set a new Master Password after renaming or deleting key3.db and all currently saved passwords are lost. 
If that has worked then you can remove the renamed files that are no longer needed.

Whilst restoring IPod 4gen, restored to new iPod instead of restoring to named iPod - now have lost all files, photos - how can I restore the named account?

Restoring iPod and restored to new iPod instead of named iPod - have now lost all photos etc, as iPod account deleted by the looks of it - how do I get it back??

Restore from backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iTunes backup you iTunes purchases have to be in the iTunes library. You can redownload them by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Netiehr the iTunes nor iClouod backup included non-iTunes purchases.

If it's already giving you that message, the information on the phone is gone. I hope you backed up to iCloud.

Lost all my notes - how can I get them back

So after getting frustrated with my notes duplicating on my mac (and only on mac) I searched on here to get it to stop and came across this solution:
entering 'rm -rf ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes.' into terminal - I tried this and it didn't work, the second time I did it, I accidentally left of the full stop at the end and that made the duplicating stop, but it also got rid of all my notes.
Is there a way I can get my notes back via terminal? (and not by using time machine etc)
Thanks in advance

If they were not on the cloud, then no, there is no way back from that without a backup or file recovery software.
You deleted the folder that holds all the notes. Remove (rm) deletes the files immediately.

I lost all my contacts - how can I retrieve them?

I cancelled my free trial to mobile me last night only to wake this morning and see that all my contacts and calendar were deleted from my iphone! I was not given any warning about this. I checked my itunes account on my computer and saw that they were no contacts there as well! How could they not be backed up on my computer when I just synced my iphone yesterday! This is shocking that they would be wiped out just because I did not want to pay a subscription! I frantically got on to the mobile me account and paid $99 that I did not have to reacctivate the account thinking they would give me back my contacts, but they are gone from there as well. This is killing me! There has got to be a way to retrieve them. I am angry about it all, but I just want my numbers and addresses back.

Contacts are also part of your iphone backup. So in case you have an old backup from your phone, try to restore from and see if your contacts will appear again. Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your computer as well, syncing to an empty address book will delete the contacts again.

Upgraded to FF 15.0 lost all my bookmarks, how can I restore them?

running Vista and FF desktop

Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
