Are replaced photos lost for good?

In a rush to clear a couple of XD cards so I could send an old camera to my sister, I think I may have mistakenly replaced some photos in iPhoto. Are they gone for good if I didn't back them up on a CD or my external drive?
Running iPhoto 9.2 on a MacBook Pro, OS 10.6.8

Exactly how did you do this - if you are using iPhoto properly it is not possible to "replace" a photo - in fact is is not possible to "replace a photo on purpose
So until we know exactly what you did no one can really help
As to getting things back with no backup - often not - if you do not have good backup yoou absolutely will lose your photos (and all other files) sooner or later - software, hardware and people fail and your only protection is a good backup

HT204022 I have owned an ipad for a few months and taken photos without synching to Photstream. Having just done this I now see photos are removed from iCloud after 30 days. Are these recoverable or lost for good?

Please see the following:
iCloud- Photo Stream FAQ
iCloud- Photo Stream limits
The 30 day limit, as I understand it, prevails after you reach one of the prevailing number limits. I've yet to reach one of those limits over the past few years and my PhotoStream is still intact.
However, it's a good idea to move your photos into iPhoto which is your on-disk library. And, this library can be backed up locally, thus, preserving your photos.

I was importing photos to iphoto and somehow lost access to my iTunes library. when i open iPhoto, it asks me to select a library, but there are no photo libraries for me to select. I cant find my pictures and have no access to my iPhoto..

somehow lost access to my iTunes library.
What does iTunes have to do with this? Also more specific information might be helpful.
What system and iPhoto versions are you running?
Where are you being asked to select a library? What kind of library, iPhoto or iTunes?
What do you see when you first launch iPhoto?

Are my speakers broken for good?

I drop my iPod touch 4th generation a lot. When I dropped it this time, music was playing before it hit the ground and then stopped when it landed. The speakers won't work unless there's headphones plugged in. Also, when I press the volume buttons, it says 'headphones' even when there isn't any headphones in. Please help me

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be 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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

Lost Ipod & Re-installed Windows. Are my songs gone for good?

I had probably 50-60 songs.
I am wondering if there would be a way to retrieve my old songs.
Do I have to try and re-download everything and wait for I-Tunes
to ask "do you want to purchase XYZ song again or just download" --
(or whatever it says)
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!!
-Sean

Unless customer service grants you a free redownload, you need to purchase them again. Backing the songs up is your responsibility.

Why are my photos disappearing for no apparent reason?

During a recent project of putting our best family pictures from the past five years in a photo album, I noticed some of them are not really there. The small image is there, but when I click on it I get an error message that the picture is gone. Where did they go? And can I get them back? At first it was just a few pictures. Now it seems to be a lot of them like it's continuingly happening. Help!

but when I click on it I get an error message that the picture is gone.
So the exclamation point is the error message? I ask not to be pedantic, but you can get different error messages along with the exclamation point.
Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

Why are my photos incompatible for posting online?

I attempted to post a photo to DavesGarden.com and received the message it was incompatible. It needed to be jpeg. plus a large number of other extensions. I do not know what the extension is for photos in my apple library or how to post them.
I apologize if this question is not clear. I just do not know how to word the problem.
Thank you for any help.

Thank you for responding.
The picture is 4000 x 3000, 4.5 MB, JPEG
I do not know if that is a large file or not - pretty new to photo.
Do I use the slider to adjust? I did try that but it did not change the info.
The problem I am having is the extension, i.e., JPEG, etc. However this picture is JPEG. I do not understand?
When I attempted to get the picture, it would not even let me open the file because the extension was not correct?
I will appreciate whatever info you can provide.

Are replacement "rails" available for the Magic Mouse

After only a month or two, the rails on the bottom of my Magic Mouse have worn down allowing the battery cover to scrape on my desktop. Is it possible to replace these?

Hi OtterMN73
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
So stop using sandpaper for a mouse pad...
The Mouse is covered under the one year iMac warranty and for three if you have Apple Care. Jot down your iMac's serial number and drop by your Local Apple Store or Apple Service Provider and get it exchanged. > http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service/

I deleted text messages over the last six months, and I want to get them back. I didn't have my I-Phone 4S backed up. Can I still retrieve those texts?? I read somewhere that texts are never really deleted for good.

I have a I-Phone 4S and I deleted text messages over the last 6 months. I didn't have my phone backed up with I-Tunes or anything. Is there a way to retrieve all of those deleted text messages?? I read somewhere a while back, that texts are never really deleted permanently. Can't find information on that. Can anyone help please?

Where would you expect to retrieve those deleted message if you didn't backup your phone?

Are replacement phones eligible for Applecare if never activated?

I recently bought a friend of a friends replacement IPhone 4s she received as an AppleCare replacement phone. She sold the phone to me as she decided to buy a new 5c and not use the 4s she received. Is there any way to get Applecare on this phone or not? Just checking to make sure as when I enter the Serial number it does say it is a replacement phone. Never hurts to ask!
Micheleks

As the Apple care product varies by country
Some have Applecare+ and some only Applecare (it is one or the other never both )
Look at the Support>>>AppleCare on your country Apple site
and probably best to call AppleCare in your country to get a definitive answer

Error Message that Files Cannot Be Imported -- Are My Files Lost?

Hi all --
Here's my sad story: I was importing a whole slew of files from my Canon PowerShot A520, everything appeared to be going swimingly, when iPhoto appeared to freeze up. After a force quit, it became apparent that the pix had never made it into iPhoto. (Oh, by the way, yes I checked the box that deleted them from the camera's memory card, so I don't have the originals to work with here. Never make that mistake again, but that's of no help now, of course. I should have waited until I was certain that the import was successful before I ever messed with the originals, but I digress.)
I thought at first that I had lost all the photos forever, but then I located the pix (they're .jpg files) in Finder (they're in my "pictures" folder). They're apparently on the computer, just not in iPhoto. Somehow they had made it after all, or so I thought.
Here's the bummer, while I can see the pictures just fine in preview, when I tried to import one as a test case into iPhoto I got the following error message and the import was not allowed:
The files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data.
Based on the foregoing, I suspect that the files somehow got corrupted during the initial (aborted) attempt to import them. The file type (.jpeg) seems ok to me. I'm assuming that corruption and "not containing valid data" are roughly synonymous.
So, what I'm wondering is, am I doomed to forever only being able to view these pix in preview or something like that and to never being able to import them into iPhoto and edit and slide show them, etc? Is there nothing I can do to fix whatever's wrong with these photos and get them to successfully import into iPhoto? What about printing, is that possible?
Like I said, these (possibly corrupt?) .jpg files are the only copies I have to work with, since I foolishly deleted the originals from the memory card.
Is all hope lost?
Any and all help will be appreciated more than you can know.
Thanks.
Brief Addendum: I just tried to open one of the pix using Graphic Converter and it worked just fine.

Lori --
What can I say, but thank you, thank you and thank you!
Your timely response saved the day -- it was a little hairy there for a while, with .jpg files all over the desktop, but after resorting to pen and paper (still necessary at times) and recording the numbers of all files, I am now good to go.
The little green star and the bogue award of 10 points doesn't begin to convey how helpful your post, but it's all we're given (plus these words, of course).
To briefly sum up -- This morning (after the debacle last evening that started all this) I was trying to reconcile myself to the fact that my photos were lost for good and that I had only myself to blame.
Now, I have all my photos back (more than 200 hundred, some of them really kind of cool, if I do say so myself) and all are now sitting nicely in iPhoto waiting to be manipulated, edited and otherwise toyed with.
All thanks to you, Lori.
Not that I wish the heartache I just went through over the last 24 hours on anyone, but I do hope that I get the chance to help someone out as much as I was helped out today. Good Karma and all that.
This site flat out rules!
Thanks again.

After Archive and Install, music and photos lost

Hello, I installed Leopard yesterday on my Imac desktop and it went fine, but then somehow it locked me out of the hard drive, and then...the blue screen. I put the orginal Tiger disk back in and re-installed the previous software, opting for 'archive and install'. It worked but my question is this;
Within the previous system folder, my music and photos are still missing. All I see is the iphoto icon which opens to a completely empty program. (Yet the info on this Icon says it is a 1 gb in there). Are my photos lost, really? And if not, how may I retrieve them? Thanks in advance.

You may find it in the Previous System Folder created during an Archive and Install that contains your old system. Assuming you have no need for its contents you can delete the PSF and recover the disk space.
Of course if the hard drive is corrupted then you may have performed an Archive and Install on a corrupted drive which will result in a corrupted installation. Consider doing the following:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Are purchased songs exclusively for Apple devices?

This may sound like a simple question.
Are the songs purchased from iTunes only playable for Apple devices? Meaning we can sync all Apple devices we have and get the same songs?
Is there any way to convert the purchased songs to mp3 in order to transfer it to non-Apple device?
iTunes is user-friendly for me, but if the purchased songs aren't playable on non-Apple devices, I might need to find another sources. Any idea?

Yes you can convert tracks to MP3 version in iTunes.
1. Go into iTunes preferences
2. On the General Tab, click on Import Settings
3. Change the Import Using setting to be MP3 Encoder.
4. Click Ok and then Ok to close preferences.
5. Now select a track or tracks that you want to convert to MP3.
6. Then click on the Advanced Menu and select the Create MP3 Version.
This will create an MP3 version of the tracks you selected, it works fro content purchased from the iTunes Store, provided it is in iTunes Plus format (no DRM). Make sure your use of the converted tracks does not breach the Terms of Use you agreed to here :

LO DataSource for Goods receipt and Invoice receipt

Hi all
In LBWE, under Purchasing there are few DataSources available for Goods receipt and Invoice receipt. Is there any DataSource for both Goods receipt and Invoice receipt. What are the DataSources available for Goods receipt and Invoice receipt. Please clarify the difference.
Thanks.
Zak.

Try to use the PROCESSKEY standard infoobject (BWVORG in R3/ECC) to discriminate the good receipt from the invoice one...
An other option is create a custom generic data source with a view on EKBE table and use the EKBE-VGABE field to discrimate them.
Regards.
