A third party company made a backup of my 2008 Macbook pro by taKing the hard drive out of my 2008 macbook pro the videocard broke and i had nochange to do the backup by my own :( so i needed to go somewhere specialized and i paid 125$ for getting the conete harddrive backed up including all my photos music documents. After all the repairs from apples side were done i felt that the harddrive sounded kind of bad so i went back to the apple store and they told me they have to replace the hardrive and if i have an backup which i thought i had, so that was 2 days ago. As i got my macbook pro back from Apple i brought it to thd place who made my backup. All was saved on their extrernal hardrive but all my photos (iphoto) are gone :( they cannot find them anymore on the drive Nd they couldn't do anything for me :( now my macbook is fixed but all my memmories i kept as pictures are gone and i spent 125$ for a backing up my pictures and now they are all gone :( is there anybody out there who may can halp me tell me what to try ? Maybe my old harddrive where did apple sent it to? May i can get it back or could it be on the. Backup drive but under the library or iphoto folders are just some pictures :( like 500 . But there is one corrupt file which i also cannot open :(
I need help :( thank you

1. Reinstalling iPhoto has no effect on your photos. The iPhoto application is totally seperate from your iPhoto library
2. Is you backed up correctly and restored correctly nothing would change
3. Given your report it is clear that you dopi somethinfpg incorrectly. However since you do not tell how you backed up or how you restored it is impossible to guess what you did wrong or if itpt is possible to fix
4. Exactly step by step howvdid you back up your iPhoto library and exactly how did you restore it?
5. Do you have a TimeMachine backup or clone of your iPhoto library from before you did this?
6. What version of iPhoto '11?  There are many different versions

  • My iPhoto pictures are all gone after upgrade to Photos

    Can anyone please help!!! All my pictures from iPhoto are all gone after upgraded to Photos tonight. Anyone know how I can recover them?

    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library.
    BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • I can no longer shoot directly into phaseone software since i use my new macbook pro with retina display. pictures are not transfered from the camera into captureone. anyone else with this problem? any solutions?

    i can no longer shoot directly into phaseone software - neihter version 6 or 7 - since i use my new macbook pro with retina display. pictures are not transfered from the camera into captureone. anyone else with this problem? any solutions?

    My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
    Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
    And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
    Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    or http://www.apple.com/contact/
    We are just end users here helping other end users.
    Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
    Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
    Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
    Good luck!

  • My early 2010 mac mini is running super slow on the internet compared to my late 2008 macbook pro on the same internet

    My early 2010 mac mini has been running really slowly on my network.  My late 2008 Macbook Pro runs much faster despite being an older computer.  The Mac Mini really doesn't have much  on it and almost all of its storage space is there.  It downloads at about one third of the speed as my Macbook Pro.  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.

    When did this difference begin?  Did you make any recent changes?

  • No keyboard access in bootcamp after upgrade to Early 2008 MacBook Pro

    How do I regain keyboard access in Bootcamp after a hardware upgrade to a new (early 2008) 15" MacBook Pro (MBP)?
    I was recently forced to upgrade from a July 2007 MBP 15" to an early 2008 MBP due to a burglary. The original MBP also had a Bootcamp partition in use for business purposes (Windows XP SP2).
    Fortunately using Time Capsule and WinClone I had very recent back ups of all data and migration to the new MBP went well until I encountered an insurmountable problem at the point I wished to update the new MPB Bootcamp drivers in the restored Bootcamp partition.
    The problem being encountered is as follows:
    When starting up in the restored Bootcamp partition I am unable to update the with the latest Bootcamp drivers as the keyboard is inoperative. I am therefore unable to get past the CtrlAltDel security pane and navigate to load the Leopard install disk.
    I do however have mouse control.
    I have also tried rebooting with an external keyboard and mouse. Again the mouse worked but not the keyboard.
    To add further confusion or insight into this problem I had a BartPE Windows CD utility disk set-up available for emergency use and this will boot on the new MBP. Once booted it does provide mouse and keyboard access suggesting that somehow in the WinClone restoring process the original keyboard driver was damaged.
    This may well be the case as when I first started up the Bootcamp partition after the restore I encountered a Windows 'blue screen of death' that pointed to a Driver fault in a file called "bcmw15.sys".
    After restarting Windows I no longer encountered the blue screen but had no keyboard access as described above.
    Unforunately using the BartPE CD to bypass the keyboard problem has thwarted me as this configuration does not appear to have a means available to eject the BartPE CD itself, allowing me to then insert the Leopard install disk in its place.
    Given the unique nature of the Windows system configuration I had in use any suggestions as to how I might overcome this without having to resort to rebuilding the configuration from scratch would be gratefully received.
    In particular if anyone may know of the MacBook Pro Windows keyboard driver name and location this would be of particular assistance.
    Dion

    Booting from the Windows Install CD did not work.
    I have however recovered the partition and got operational again.
    The solution in the end was achieved by gaining access via Windows XP start-up in 'safe mode' using an external MS USB keyboard (the new MBP 'delete' key was not being recognised, and then using the 'Administrator' password to gain access to the Windows XP 'Device Manager'.
    The full saga of difficulties encountered is too lengthy to relate in full unless someone out there really wants to know the gory details for their own specific similar need.
    Suffice it to say that the most of the problems that arose were:
    a) the result of the hardware changes between the old MBP and the new one requiring select old drivers to be located and removed and then new drivers installed;
    b) due to an upgrade that occurred to the MS Enterprise server software in the period between when the WinClone image was taken and when the new MPB arrived and I attempted the restore (including that as a consequence of the burglary I updated my corporate mailbox password online causing the back-up XP image to be out of sync with Enterprise server once networking was revived); and
    c) a Parallels software upgrade reinstall also caused issues in regaining sync with the revived Bootcamp.
    Isolating the driver causing the offending ""bcmw15.sys" driver crash proved very tricky as Windows appeared to keep reinstalling some sort of generic driver that kept repeating the problem. Thereafter getting past the blocks to accessing the Apple install CD also required enormous trial and error skill to overcome.
    Bottom line WinClone did perform. It restored the partition on the new machine with sufficient integrity to allow a skilled Sys Op (far beyond my Win experience) the capability to fully restore Bootcamp XP functionality.
    Nevertheless the process is definitely not one I'd prefer to experience a repeat of - its taken several man days (and nights) to resolve.
    Nevertheless thanks xnav for your advice.
    Regards

  • How do you sync playlist made on iPhone 6 back to iTunes on Macbook Pro?  The playlist name shows up but with no content.

    I made a playlist on my iPhone 6 and thought it would sync to my iTunes account when I connected my phone to my Macbook Pro but it did not.  The playlist name showed up under my playlist names, but there was no content in it and it had a different playlist symbol (music note with bars) than the Smart Playlists (gear) I have made in the past on my computer.  The playlist has a few hundred songs on it, so I don't want to have to do it manually. Is there a way to get the playlist content I made on my phone into my iTunes on my computer?  Thanks!

    How did the playlist get on your iphone?
    If you created an on-the-go playlist then from page 81 of the manual:
    "When you make an on-the-go playlist and then sync iPhone to your computer, the
    playlist is saved on iPhone and in your iTunes library, then deleted from iPhone.
    The first is saved as “On-The-Go 1,” the second as “On-The-Go 2,” and so on.
    To put a playlist back on iPhone, select iPhone in the iTunes sidebar, click the Music tab, and set the playlist to sync."

  • Can I install Snow Leopard on the latest Macbook Pros? (the ones pre-loaded with Lion)

    The problem and solution is pretty simple, I just want to know if anyone has tried this before. I have a brand new Macbook Pro that I bought more or less for the sole purpose of having a more powerful machine to run AVID Media Composer on. AVID is only compatible up to OS version 10.6.7 at the moment, and the machine I got was pre-loaded with Lion, 10.7....So I look at the support documentation Apple provides, and notice that in the nifty little chart they have, the latest line of Macbook Pros out there (early 2011) originally had version 10.6.6, so I'm assuming that's the previous version I can't downgrade past.
    To revert back to Snow Leopard, however, I need to install it from the DVD which has version 10.6.3 on it, and then upgrade to any version between Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and Lion 10.7. In theory this could work, the only problem being that for a brief time between installing Snow Leopard and updating to the version of it that I need, the computer will have version 10.6.3 on it.
    Now I'm pretty sure if the only thing I do on the computer is immediately update to a safe-to-use version, there will be no problems. However, if the machine's hardware is so terribly non-backwards compatible with the Snow Leopard OS, I may do all this backing up and reverting and not even be able to start the computer once I get the old install on it. Before I just go ahead and try this for myself, I was wondering if anyone else has, and more importantly, have you had any success?

    Hi r,
    EDIT: disregard my post. Waiting for that disc is a far better option.
    I hope w won't mind if I add a thought here:

    Now I don't mind if some drivers are messed up and resolution is all funky when I install 10.6.3 on it, I just need to know if it'll be functional to the point where I can run the 10.6.6 update dmg. Once I update to 10.6.6 everything should work fine.
    Or could I install 10.6.3, have the 10.6.6 update burned to a disc, and boot straight from that? This is my first Mac so I'm not sure what little tricks work or not.
    Your first idea may work; the only way to know for sure is to try it. If you do, make sure you download and run the Combo update for 10.6.7 or 10.6.8. There can be different versions of a point update, those which are available for download, and those which ship on Macs, so you want to install one beyond that which shipped with some of the new MBPs.
    If the MBP won't boot to 10.6.3, something else to try is installing it to an external HD, then installing the 10.6.7 update on it, clone it to the MPB's internal HD, and run the 10.6.7 or 10.6.8 Combo update on it.

  • Should i get the current MacBook Pro or the new design MacBook pro 2012?

    Dear all,
    GImme some opinions which to choose? Should i wait for the supposedly new design MacBook Pro? or get the current models that hae pretty good specs? I'm doing college at the moment and my current laptop is 4yrs old in need of a new one and hopefully get the 17" MBP coz the specs seem amazing. I'm doing graphics and multimedia so i would need a laptop that can handle all those stuff and be fast. So gimme some ideas what you think abt the current MBP and the soon to come new models? which is something pretty doubtful.

    Hold off the buying. The current unibody macs are the last of the generation. A geenration that's in it's 4th year.
    You might want to consider upgrading your current hard drive only to an SSD if your mac supports it. You can then move this over to your new mac. That's what I have done, and the speed difference of an SSD makes it feel like a new machine.
    I would also suggest you buy a 15" and not a 17" save your money. The 17 is loking carrying a surfboard around.

    You want to install Mountain Lion. You already have Mountain Lion installed. You want the latest version of Mountain Lion, which is 10.8.3. You've said you already have 10.8.3 installed. Apple checks your computer when you try to update and tells there are no updates at this time. That's because you're already fully up to date so there's nothing left to update.
    What more do you want or need?

  • Is  mountain lion will cost money to those who have the new macbook pro with the latest version of the lion?

    My question is very understandable, I ask because I have the latest Macprofessionals, which is already up to date,thanks .Gil

  • Difference between the 2012 Macbook Pro and the new Retina display Macbook Pro?

    Title says all!

    Well really all the specs are posted in black and white on the Apple store website. They even have a Compare feature on the site.
    I find it really odd that posts like your show up here every day. "Which Mac should I buy". I always want to reply "The one that fits your needs and you can afford".
    Just how does anyone on this forum know what YOU need from a computer and what computer is best for YOU. You would be the only one that knows that after you read all the specs of the models you are thinking about buying and also go to one of the many Apple stores or resellers and physically look at and use them.

  • Just tell me straight. Do the 17" Macbook Pros have the whine or not ?

    I am so frustrated hearing about people having issues with whine. imac intel inspite of being almost as compact absolutely doesn't have any whine issues. It's just wonderful. Until a couple of days ago, almost everybody was saying 17" didn't have the whine. I want to know this straight....do they have the whine or not?

    I have had my 15" MBPro, 2.16 GHZ, 7200 RPM 100G since mid-March, and it belonged to a batch that was supposed to have been "affected." Early on, the only problem I had was a tilted eject key which the Apple store fixed. I have never seen flicker at low light or heard a whine on this unit. It's not my hearing, as I have had others check my unit as well including my young kids who can hear higher pitches better than adults. It did get hot, but the highest I record using Temperature Monitor was 41C and after the firmware update yesterday I cannot see anything higher than 35.
    Maybe I am just incredibly lucky, but I also wonder whether some combinations of the processor (2.0 vs 2.16) and hard drive (5400 vs 7200) were more conducive to whines and heat than others...it would be hard to imagine why the 17" would be different except for those factors. My iMac also has none of these issues.

  • What application is it displayed on the centre MacBook Pro on the 'The New Macbook Pro' page

    I mean this page (http://www.apple.com/au/macbookpro/) what is the application with the picture of the man surfing

    Hi David,
    Looks like a full screen photo view of iPhoto or possibly Aperture. That definitely looks like a Histogram in the upper left hand corner and I suspect Apple would be advertising their own photo editing product. I use Lightroom (Adobe's product) so I'm not quite sure when the full screen menus look like for iPhoto vs. Aperture.

  • When will the 2011 MacBook Pros hit the refurb page?

    I've been watching the refurbished inventory, but have not seen any of the 2011 MBP 13" or 15". When do you think they will begin to appear on the Apple site?
    Thanks in advance for any helpful replies.
