Almost all pics disappeared

Almost all the pics in iPhoto have gone away. I have backup on Time Capsule but need to know the file name where the photos live so I can restore that file. Am I on the right track? What is the name of the file? Thanks

So I need to go back a couple of weeks in TM, and launch iPhoto to see if they are present.
What you need to do is go back a couple of weeks in TM and restore the library and open it? Is that what you meant by the statement above?
Before you do that give this a try:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
Also you only need to answer once. Everyone who's posted to this topic will receive a copy regardless who you reply to.

Almost all contacts disappeared on iPad

I used Contact Cleaner to remove duplicates in my Address Book, a problem created long ago with sync problems with Outlook.
A subsequent sync with my iPhone went OK, but the sync with my iPad deleted most contacts, leaving only one each for a few of the letters of the alphabet.
I am not using iCloud because I was burned by the password fiasco way back when with the introduction of iOS 6. I have been successfully syncing calendars, contacts, podcasts, and music up to about three weeks ago.
For some reason I had Sync Contacts in iTunes unchecked for my iPad, but even checking Sync Contacts for all contacts does not restore contacts from my Address Book.
Oops! I also had Sync Contacts unchecked in iTunes for my iPhone. When I checked it and set All Contacts, on syncing I lost almost every contact on my iPhone.
I also tried Replace information in the Advanced section. On the next sync, no information was replaced.
The only place that I could switch on Contacts was from a mail account. Nowhere could I find a place to switch on Apple's Address Book.
Is this one of the marvelous fixes to iOS 7.0.4?

It looks like Apple jumped the gun on not syncing contacts in iOS 7.0.4.
"Sync contacts from your computer or Yahoo!: In iTunes on your computer, turn on contact syncing in the device info pane. For information, see iTunes Help."
From iPhone User Guide For iOS 7 (October 2013)
"You can use iTunes to sync the contacts, calendars, notes, Safari bookmarks, and email account information on your computer with your iPod, iPhone, or iPad. iTunes also syncs this information from your device to your computer—for example, if you add contacts on your iPad, syncing adds those contacts to Contacts on your computer (or Address Book, in some versions of OS X).
"When you sync, iTunes determines whether your device or your computer contains the most recent information, and lets you choose the information you want to sync.
"Note: These instructions apply only if you use OS X v.10.8.5 or earlier. If you use OS X Mavericks v.10.9 or later, your contacts, calendars, and other info are updated on your computers and iOS devices via iCloud."
From iTunes Help, "Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad", accessed 2013-11-26
Since I am still running OS X 10.7, iOS 7 should still sync my contacts through Wi-Fi or USB cable.
This dictum does ignore people who have a Mac and an iPhone but no home internet access. I know of such people. Suppose I receive a letter and put the contact info in my Mac. I then write a paper response and use a program like Easy Envelopes to print the envelope (a lot neater than my handwriting). Easy Envelopes takes the info from my Address Book. Now I go out with my iPhone a few days later but without my Mac and decide to follow up the letter with a phone call. Unless I had hand-copied the phone number, it won't be on my cell phone. This is even more problematic if I have an iMac rather than a laptop.
As for the password fiasco, if I remember correctly, it was when iOS 6 was introduced and iCloud was offered. If a person forgot their password, they couldn't get a new password for the ID they used. They had to use another ID. I think it finally settled out somehow. I am not sure of my password for iCloud, it is already in my iPhone/iPad settings and I successfully turned on iCloud syncing of my Address Book and the Contacts. I hope it is now that linked to my Apple ID; that password I know.
I also hope that none of my information raises a red flag with the NSA or that iCloud doesn't go down when I need it the most. Or even my local DSL service! Which has happened!

IPhoto library - Events - pics imported from camera, scanner and internet - it doesn't seem to matter - for a while they show OK but then when I go into the event and start scrolling some--but not all--pics disappear w/ ? small and expanded.

iPhoto Library - events - pics imported to library from camera, scanner and internet. Some disappear--sometimes when scrolling and other times on their own. Some disappear when in general event and some when I try to expand the picture. If when expanding the small pic remains. It's really annoying.

Are you running a "referenced" or "managed" library?
Give this a try:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
2 - select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
5 - in the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Almost all messages disappeared from Mail's Sent folder

A friend of mine running OSX 10.4.11 with all Apple updates on an Intel iMac about a year and half old, is having problems with Mail. She seems to have lost all her Sent messages from before Jan. 24th. As she put it: "Came in on 1/25, to find only three message left in my sent messages" dating 1/24." She's using an IMAP account, and a broadband Ethernet DSL modem.
Personally I rarely use Mail, preferring Mailsmith/POP, so am not that familiar with the app - or with IMAP. After looking up Mail Help I suggested she first rebuild the Sent folder and instructed her how to do that over the phone. It went through it's paces but didn't improve the situation. Sent mailbox still only contains messages dating from Jan.24th. There should be several years of Sent messages in that box.
Then I had her try the next thing on the Help page, which was reindexing Mail, done by quitting Mail, removing certain files from the ~/Library/Mail folder, launching Mail and waiting for it to retrieve stuff from the server. That didn't solve the problem either. The other mailboxes seem to have all their messages intact, and the Mail app seems to be working normally otherwise. She hasn't done a backup since the problem occurred, but restoring from that would eliminate all the mail she has received since.
I'd greatly appreciate any other suggestions on how to get her missing messages back.
thanks,
ncm

Hopefully someone with more knowledge will pitch in. In my friend's case it isn't a dot mac account.
Could it be related to the allocated space on the server being too full? There are several years of email stored there and it's an office, so I imagine there's a lot of mail. Not being very familiar with IMAP I don't know if the stored mail could get messed up if there isn't much room left on the server.

HT204406 I did a sync in itunes and now almost all of my songs have disappeared from my itunes library. I'm sure they're in the cloud, but what if I want to play one on my computer? How do I find them?

- Try resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next, restore from backup.

I have my ipad notes linked to gmail and suddenly disappeared when I put the sim card into a new iphone, the funny thing is that almost all disappeared except 4 and with different dates up to two years. Why did this happen? No way to recover them?

Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum. Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is. Apple is not here. It's users, like you.
If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.

I sync'ed my iphone apps last night on a "new" computer. Since it was not regrestered on that computer, iPhone would not sync any bought apps. Went I went to use an app after trying this almost all my bought apps disappeared. How do I get them back?

I tried syncing my Iphone4 apps on a "new" computer. I was told that the computer was not registered with iTunes and could not back up all the bought apps. When I went to check on the iPhone after this I noticed (have been blind not to) that almost all of my bought apps were missing. After I registered the "new" computer and sync'ed my apps nothing removed showed back up. How do I get these apps back?
I tried syncing on the "old" computer and all the apps were grayed out with some unchecked. Since they are grayed out I cannot unchecking and sync them.
The difference between the "new" and "old" computer is the OS. New has Win7 old is XP.

An iPhone can only sync to one computer at a time. When you synced to the new one without first copying your iTunes library from the old one it deleted the apps because they were not on the new computer. You could have transferred them from the iPhone to the new computer before the first sync as described in the manual, but now it is too late for that.
Fortunately, you can redownload apps without having to pay for them again as long as the iTunes account is the same on the new computer as it was on the old.

Urgent - all emails disappeared.

urgent - all emails disappeared. Hi I received notification that my storage is full I tried to sort emails by size to delete some and almost all my emails disappeared! My trash has couple emails but not recent one. What has happened. Can you please help me

I assume you are using Nokia's Messaging (i.e. push) service? I don't know exactly what happened, but it appears there was a mishap with your account. The quickest fix will likely be to delete and remake those three mailboxes. If that doesn't fix things, I suggest contacting Nokia support, so they can check the status of your Messaging account.
As for the Music Player problem, if you use File Manager to copy a file from phone memory to the memory card, might you also see it hang for roughly 20 seconds? I had this issue once, and it was caused by errors in the memory card filing system. Please back up any critical memory card data first, but connect it to a computer in Mass Storage mode (or use a separate card reader) and check it for errors in the same way you check the hard drive. Hopefully this will find and fix the errors, and eliminate the lag. (Then run it a second time to be sure they're really gone.) In my case, the problem was apparently too bad and I had to reformat the card.
BTW, if you store email on the memory card, this could also be affecting the email problem. You may want to tackle problem #2 first. I hope that helps!

How can i save my individual playlist on itunes on my external hard drive because i want to buy a laptop and install itunes and move all my music and playlist thats on my desktop to my laptop and almost all my music is from a bunch of cd's i own

how can i save my individual playlist on itunes on my external hard drive because i want to buy a laptop and install itunes and move all my music and playlist thats on my desktop to my laptop and almost all of my music is from a bunch of cds i own

Hello ryane84
The easiest and most efficient way to copy your music is to follow the steps under the External drive section. Make sure that you have organized the iTunes library first before you copy it over. Then put the copied iTunes folder in the same Music folder on your computer.

Almost all incoming emails going to junk folder

I've been using Thunderbird for a few months now with very few glitches. However, suddenly, it is putting almost all my incoming emails into the junk folder. I believe my junk settings are appropriately set. I have attached a screen shot of them. What I am doing wrong?

Just to verify that its TB and not the server that moves the mail into junk, change destination of your junk to a local junk-folder.
Then also disable adaptive junk mail control temporarily. To see if this is causing it.

Little circle turns/ page doesn't load/ problem triangle comes up almost all the time

The little connecting circle comes on and turns no matter what -- whether it's from a bookmark, an email, a typed in address. It turns and turns, then either times out or says problem loading page ALMOST all the time (I can't figure our why or why not). I just downloaded the latest versions of both Firefox & Thunderbird. I check my AVG and Firefox has a clear pass.

Were it shows how much storage I have available it still says 9.9 even after all that I have done so I don't know if I need to change my storage plan or what but anything will help I guess

Check for 'others' in iTunes against your iPhone.
Restore from a previous backup to reclaim some of it.
Still want more, Restore in iTunes, setup as New.

I even tried synching from mt computer backup but it wont do it.

You can only sync everything with your one syncing computer/iTunes library. Yu can:
- Make this your syncing computer by:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
- Use the manual method to copy music and videos from any computer/iTunes library to the iPod. See the manual method included here:
