17,000 images moved to trash

While doing a routine update to Nik software I closed Aperture, and when I re-opened it all my 17,000 images were in Aperture Trash. Aperture Help says to control click on trash image and select 'put back'. But there is no 'put back' to select and anyway I wont do it 17000 times. I am backed up fortunately, but would like to figure out what happened and if there is a quick way to fix it.
Any thoughts?

I have the same problem. I just opened Aperture and all photos were moved to the trash. I have tried to rebuild library to no avail. I can indeed 'put back' everything, but I also had many thousands of intentionally deleted photos in there already. It's been a long time apparently since I emptied the trash. I can't distinguish between what was correctly deleted and falsely deleted by a bug. Any suggestions?

Iphoto crashing when i try to delete my trash - i have 35,000 images in trash

Hi, I have over the years gathered more and more duplicates of images within my Iphoto library. Last year i got a new MacBook Pro and just dragged and dropped 101,000 images that went into on event! annoying as i copied my old library - thats not really the issue. The issue is i just purchase Sweeper that found 35,000 duplicates and moved them to the trash within iphoto - so it did its job - now iphoto will not empty trash can! HELP! I just want to clean up my new MAC!

What is the application you used and the link to thecsupport page? I have never heard of is Ned web searches come up with major malware under sweeper
In general you need to delete in small batches of 100 or so emptying the iPhoto trash for each batch
Probably the best solution is to start over trashing the bad library, connecting the two systems together and dragging the iPhoto library from the old system to the pictures folder of the new one. Launch iPhoto to convert the library. Purchase and use duplicate annaliator to handle duplicates

My mac space was full, and i noticed that i had 10,000 images, so i deleted all of my images and emptied the trash, now i they don't appear on iphoto or anywhere, is there anyway i could get all of those images back so i can then store them in a device?

yes, its the macbook air and mac OS X 10.7.4, not sure how that goes, about the time machine and time capsule, i only started using it today, when they were already deleted, also read at the support and help of iphoto, that if you delete your images from the picture folder that the images will be corrupted permanently, does this mean there there is no actual way of getting them back?
Thanks for the help x

Aperture 3 hanging when working with 120,000 image library

I love Aperture. Have used Aperture since v1, now on 3, Snow Leopard 10.6.6. MacPro 3.0 with 20GB RAM and four 7200 3TB HDrives. Shoot a Nikon D3 and others.
I have a big referenced library running internally on Drive 2, images are internally on drive 4. About 120,000 in total, mostly RAW (NEF).
For some time I have had hangs, spinning ball. Some will clear, but most will not, requiring force quit.
I have repaired permissions, on hard drives as well as in Aperture.
Hangs happen when I click on a Folder, or sometimes when selecting image.
I moved everything to a Referenced system to correct this problem, but seemed to not solve things.
I do also use Aperture to catalog Photoshop files, so dont know whether this creates an increased RAM or CPU issue.
Have sent crash reports to Apple, but not heard back yet.
I shoot professionally, sometimes 2,000 per day, so need this to become more reliable.
Any suggestions.
Many thanks!

Thanks so much for your time.
You're welcome. I appreciate your mentioning it.
I have found leaving the Activity Monitor on, where I watch the RAM / MEM usage, is a clue as to whether its still thinking.
I do the same. In addition to AM, I use +iStat Menus 3+, a nifty system-reporting menulet. Recommended (just a satisfied user).
I also need to tell you I do allow my assistant, using a 27"iMac, to access my MASTER LIBRARY from her computer. (Different Aperture 3 version, and mine is shut down).
Supposedly this is ok (acording to Apple) but I am v suspicious. Sometimes it takes forever to load, and I have seen "strange" things like keywords go missing.
Until you have everything working well ... can you refrain from opening your Library using different program installations? I think you are right to be suspicious. (And trouble-shooting strategy would favor limiting problems and then bringing things back as a way of isolating the cause.)
Please check out my response to the others - I stated library size/capacities.
I don't think Library size is the problem.
I wish I could limit my Projects to 500 Masters, but most of the shoots I do are sports, where I will shoot 1,000 to 3,000 images in a day or two.
However, it can be done if this is the issue.
It could be voodoo, but it has become part of the more-or-less generally accepted best practices. You do know that in addition to selecting multiple Projects in order to see all of their images in the Viewer, you can also put Projects in a Folder and just select the Folder. Selecting a Folder in the Library Inspector will show the contents of all Projects and Albums "held" by that Folder. You might -- as an example -- make a Folder for a game, and then put each quarters' shots in its own Project.
I run dual monitors. HOWEVER, I am suspicious of my NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT card. 512 VRAM, 1920x1200 dual outputs. Not sure if this is my problem.
However, I can run Photoshop 5, DW5, InDesign, etc, along with the normal appls, with no problem. Sometimes I have 15-20 PSD files open, and I never use all my RAM.
I run huge Library on a machine w. 4 GB RAM. I don't think your RAM is the source of your problems.
I can't with any expertise address the issue of the video card. My hunch is that this is one of the rough edges of heavy Aperture use, but it's just a hunch.
Rejected/Trash. I find it takes forever to empty Aperture Trash. Have you found that> Did you know you have to empty twice, from Ap AND from OS10.6?
IME, it gets better if you do it often (all the way to system Trash). I have in past had to wait hours for the Aperture Trash to empty. Haven't seen that is a while, though.
Im going to try and move the MAIN LIBRARY to another, newer, drive. See if this works.
One of the biggest advantages will be the defragmentation of the hundreds of thousands of Library files.
I have wondered whether I should invest in a Solid State Internal drive.
Thoughts on that?
Go for it. I will buy one the day I can afford one. I am sure it is the very best performance investment you can make for Aperture.
Cheers. Post when you've found something out.

Macbook trying to move 15,000 images onto desktop

I accidentally moved "all images" to the trash. When I realized what I had done I attempted to move the entire contents into a file on the desktop in order to sort it out. Instead it is attempting to move all 15,000 images from trash onto desktop and it will not accomplish. Nothing but spinners for hours. Have restarted, forced quit, reboot in safe mode, but nothing works. I need to figure out how to suspend all action when I boot up or something. HELP PLEASE!

Oh yes, each file on the Desktop thinks it's it's own 3D Quartz window, consuming many more resources than a regular file/icon.

Not user error: moving to trash moves to start of import/event

I found another thread here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5523843&#5523843 describing the issue as well, and that user had it "suddenly start working". Well, that's because it's an inconsistent problem, but it DOES happen, very often.
The problem: when reviewing images (for example in 'first double click' mode, where one image at a time is displayed), hit command-delete to send image to trash. Image is sent to trash, but the first image in the current "set" (be it either an event if editing one event, or an entire import, if working on 'last import' set), is then loaded instead of the image following the one you've deleted/moved to trash.
This is incredibly frustrating!! And yes, I've seen it work "correctly" as well, but that's maybe 5% of the time and difficult to reproduce. It seems maybe the difference is that if you directly double-click on an image, and then move THAT one to the trash, it moves properly, but that if you do some other sequence (not sure what), it doesn't. I can't reliably reproduce it, but it absolutely happens and is super frustrating.
Apple engineers, please dig a bit. Is there a case where it wraps to the first image in the 'working set' after move-to-trash because it's lost order state or something? Please fix!

One more bit of info to help track down the bug: it seems to happen especially in edit mode. You know, with the thumbnail strip along the top? It pretty much ALWAYS happens in that navigation mode.

Export 64,000 images

I have over 64,000 images in my Aperture library at present (with another 70-80,000 to be added). A lot of these images have adjustments, crops, caption changes etc.
I now need to export all of them as I am moving from one on-line archive service to another and I'd like to make sure I am putting all my Aperture images on-line.
So I need to export all 64,000 images. What I plan to do is go to, All Images, then select all, then Export Version to a hard drive.
Has anyone tried this before? I can imaging it taking quite a few hours, and what I am worried about is if it falls over during the process, then I'd have no way of know where it was up to. I'd also like it to export the images into folders based on their project. I don't think this is possible at the moment, can anyone clarify this?
Of course this brings up the whole issue of having a managed database (which I like) as opposed to referenced images. I think the reason people are wary of the managed option is exactly the task I outlined above, how do you get all of your images and adjustments out in a convenient and efficient way.

actually i did this not too long ago with 55K iamges ... i wanted a full-size .JPG of every image to store off-site (just in case) ... call me paranoid ...
it took a long time and i just didnt touch my machine at all ...
i set the subfolder to "Project" and when done i had exactly what you were after ...
and in reality if it did fail, you would know where it left off ... just by browsing where you exported to ...
i also did the same with my masters - changing the filename to version name as well ... again to store off-site - stupid paranoia ...

Somehow 3000 projects moved to trash and i cannot get them out with "undo" or otherwise

Which trash are you talking about, Aperture or system?
The command to get images out of the Aperture trash is Put Back. You select the images, right click and select Put Back from the contextual menu.
Same procedure for the projects. Select the project in the Trash right click and select Put Back.

If you are using Apple's Mail app 6.5 is the latest version irrespective of what a previous poster says. It does sound though that you are using a gmail account online via a web browser. Please confirm and fill in missing information.

I have about 5,000 images in a Folder. How can I determine which images are NOT in a Collection?

I have about 5,000 images in a Folder. How can I determine which images are NOT in a Collection?

Create a smart collection with criteria "collection" and "does not contain"; and also with criterion Folder contains (or folder contains all)
That works if you are thinking about a specific named collection.
If you are interested in finding photos that are not in ANY collection, the usual trick is "collection" "does not contain" "a e i o u y"

TS3899 Getting the message "your mail could not be moved to trash", and keeps reappearing as not read or deleted.

Getting the message "your mail could not be moved to trash", and keeps reappearing as not read or deleted.

Did you have Hotmail set-up with Android prior? I did, and if you did too, you have the same problem, and this is how to solve it.
From your desktop computer, the Hotmail (or Outlook) website uses the folder "Deleted" for your deleted messages as default. On your iPhone, the deleted folder's name by default is "Trash".
When I had my Hotmail with Android, it created a folder Trash for deleted messages, and it's creation was amongst all my folders. So when you go back and look at Hotmail from your desktop, you will see a folder Trash, in addition to the default Deleted. My Trash folder had all the emails I deleted from my Android.
That said, with the manual folder Trash that was created, when trying to set-up Hotmail now on iPhone, because I already had a folder Trash, it conflicted with the default "Trash" folder it wanted to created, so it didn't create it, being the reason why you can't delete emails, because it doesn't have the defaulted "Trash" folder to go to.
The solution is to delete the folder "Trash" from your desktop, uninstall Hotmail from your iPhone, and re-install, and it worked, the defaulted "Trash" was then created, alongside the "Sent" and "Junk".

It is a folder which I have created. Name is "SAP".
I copied some of my office stuff and then deleted the contents inside the folder. But I couldnt delete the folder SAP.
This is happening after the Mavericks update.

Google images shows 2,400,000 image results but only displays 3,000- NOT a preference issue- why/how to fix

When accessing image searches, such as "typographic resume" I get an insanely large result such as 2,470,000 images. However, after about 3,000 results they stop showing without a notification that similar results have been removed. I have my preferences set as high as they go- it is not an issue. How can I adjust/fix this to show ALL results as I approach them, or the option to load more.
Thanks in advance!

Hello twdockery,
Thanks for contacting Mozilla Support. I think what Chandan_Baba was trying to say is our browser only displays the results that Google gives us. There are no settings in the browser that would limit the amount of search results that you can see.
I would recommend posting your question to google's support. They have a page [https://support.google.com/websearch/troubleshooter/3425345?&ref_topic=3285072#ts=3502652 here] to report issues with Image searches.
Cheers,
Patrick

Embedded Images moved to the bottom of the page

Images on some pages are all being moved to the bottom of the page when displayed.
i.e. -
H
ello world. blah blah ...20 lines later ...blah.
The image is not in the top left corner of the text, but at the bottom under the text - - - but only on some pages.
See GemAndMineralInfo.com - the home page loads correctly, but the Gemstone page which uses the same basic format has all images moved to the bottom of the page in FireFox.
