Can i open restore library, grab some photos, then open my previous library?

i emptied trash, then discovered i want some of those images back. can i open vault and grab those, close, then reopen my normal library? i was nervous the restore would write over my normal library.
many thanks for your help!

Is your library managed?
I wouldn't suggest restoring the whole library. It's time consuming and overkill.
There are a few options:
1) If everything is managed, you could update the vault, and the deletions will synchronize. Once you do that, the masters will be moved from the vault into a folder next to the vault something like Aperture library (deleted images). You can go fish them out of there.
2) A little known secret is that an Aperture vault is actually an Aperture library with a different extension. You _could_ just rename it and change the suffix from .apvault to .aplibrary, open it, and export the images. Then change it back. I'm not 100% sure on the "change it back" part though; maybe 99% sure that all will be OK in doing this.
3) A final option would be that you could just right click on the Aperture vault, do "show package content" and then go into the Masters directory, and to the date of the files you deleted. Once you find them, OPTION drag them to your desktop and import them into your library.
Any of these 3 items will take less than a couple of minutes, as opposed to restoring the vault, which will probably take hours.

Nope.
Did you fail to import them before restoring from backup? If so, then they are gone.
You should import all photos taken with the iphone to your comuter regularly as you would with any digital camera, most especially before any update or restore.

How can I save to my pc some photos that I received on my iPhone 5 via text message from my granddaughter?

My granddaughter sent a text message to my iPhone 5 (IOS 8.1), and included some photos from a soccer tourney. I saved the photos to the iPhone, and they show up on the iPhone in the camera roll. I'd like to transfer some of them to my Windows7 PC, but can't figure it out. When I open Windows Explorer, many photos from my iPhone show, but not the ones from Elizabeth. Can anyone help me?

You can download iCloud for Windows program and turn on Photo Stream in your iPhone (Settings > iCloud > Photos, then turn on My Photo Stream)
Now, your new photos will be downloaded to your PC as soon as they are uploaded to iCloud automatically.
Or you can download something like iExplorer for PC (any third-party app) that can browse files in iPhone. With that, you can open your photo library in iPhone and drag and drop to the Desktop the photos you need.
One more way is browsing manually folders in your iPhone in Windows Explorer and just checking every folder in DCIM. In my case, the folder with the latest images was the pre-last one. There is a chance that you just didn't see the right photo last time you were checking iPhone folders, but if you know it is in Camera Roll, then it is 100% in DCIM, so the fastest way is just checking folders one more time.

My wife just got a new iPhone 6 and took some photos then I connected it to her computer and restored it to her iPhone 4 settings and lost her new photos. Is there a way to recover them?

My wife just got a new iPhone 6 and took some great photos then I connected it to her computer and restored it to her iPhone 4 settings and lost her new photos. Is there a way to recover them?

Sorry, unless she backup up the new phone before or is using iCloud to save the photos, the photos are gone.

What happens when you try to restore?
Error message?
If message what is the exact wording?

How can I get Firefox to "grab onto" and then "hold onto" the data signal until I tell Firefox to release it at the end of my session of internet browsing?

ok, I hope that my description of this problem does not come out in such a disorganized fashion that it makes the description difficult to follow. here goes: every 30 seconds to 1 minute (or thereabouts, I'm estimating) my mobile phone's browser (whether Firefox or any other) loses the data signal, so that tje next time that. I click on something, I get an error message that the "data connection timed out, retry" or "network unavailable" or "check that you are connected to that internet", etc. etc. etc. I have downloaded many apps that are supposed to boost data connectivity and/or improve internet speed, blah, blah, blah, till I discovered that was a problem with the server being able to keep up with staying locked onto my browser. in one of these apps diagnostic screens, I found a notation that therr was something wrong with my cell's relative position. well, how could that be, I wondered, since I had "GPS tracking" "GPS reporting" and "location sharing" all enabled? but, then I noticed, on the image of my cell's location as represented by this particular app, that every half minute, or so, the blue dot which represented my cell's location would slip to the left about one quarter of an inch, or so, and in the longitude and latitude part of this app's diagnostic screen I saw that the numerical designations of my cell's longitude and latitude were zero and zero. it suddenly occurred to me that the server had lost sight of my cell because my cell had moved too far out of the range of that server's sight due to the rotation of the earth. well, blow me down, what am I supposed to do to fix that? how can I tell my cell phone's OS to send out some kind of identifying info on a constant basis, so that the server could keep track of it (and I would not lose the signal)? or, conversely, how could I get my cell phone's browser to grab onto the signal and not let go of it until I was done with that internet session, at which time I would then manually release the signal myself? I hope that my explanation of the problem made enough sense that you could follow it and that you can come up with a workable solution for me. oh yeah, my phone is an LG OPTIMUS ELITE 696. thanx, from the enragedkangaroo.

Hello,
I'm afraid I don't think there is going to be much we can do to help you here. The description sounds like an issue with the phone rather than with Firefox specifically.
I don't think the problem can be caused by you moving out of range of the cell, due to the rotation of the earth. The cell towers (that provide phone signal) are sitting on the earth, just like you, and so move at the same speed as you. This might be a concern with satellite phones using Low Earth Obit satellites but this isn't the case here.
I think the best thing to do would be to get in touch with your Phone Operator or Device Manufacturer for support. If you are out of the support period or can't get support from them for some other reason then a standard 'cure-all' for mobile phones is to do a Factory Reset. This will return your phone to its default factory settings and wipe all of your data / modifications off the phone. This tends to solve most problems and is probably what the official support team would tell you to do. I can't guarantee that it will help but it has a good chance.
There are instructions on resetting your phone here:

but.. nothing in my album.
how can i save some photo..

You are checking the Camera Roll or Saved Photos album in the Photos app ? If so then you could try a reset to see if that fixes it : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Hello,
    I ran into the same issue today. I upgraded to Lion and my MS Office 2004 wouldn't work. As QuicktimeKirk said, that version was built for the PowerPC chip, not the current Intel chips. If you want to stay with MS-Office, there is no work around. You'll have to upgrade.
    My solution was to buy MS-Office Mac Home and Student 2011 - Family Pack from Amazon.com.
    I chose the download version and paid $99.82. Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004E9SKBO/ref=oh_o00_d_i00_details
    I downloaded the file (~900MB) this afternoon and installed the software. No issues with the install. Make sure you print or screen print a copy of the license key.
    As a side note, my old version of Quicken 2007 also wouldn't work and I had to upgrade my old version of Parallels as well.
    I hope this helps.

Updated numbers now I can't open documents

I just updated to OS X Mavericks 10.9 and Numbers; now I can't open my previous Numbers documemts; any ideas as to how I can get them to open?
Thanks
ActiveSolution

I haven't dared take the plunge yet, for fear of issues like this! But I did notice that Numbers for iCloud beta has been updated and will open previous Numbers documents, insisting on converting them to the new format.
If you have any of your old documents synced to iCloud you could try going to icloud.com, duplicating one of the old documents so you have the original untouched as a backup, opening the duplicate in Numbers for iCloud so it converts, close it, and then, when it's synced to the Mac try opening it in the new Numbers.
Would be interested in hearing if that works.

It would help if you would answer questions and give information rather then constantlhy complaining
You do not need to purchase anything - but to help you you do have to supply the requested information
Have you installed iPhoto from the DVD that came with the computer or from the App Store?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see when iPhoto opens?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Yet AGAIN! "You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto"

I have read every thread on this topic I could find in these forums, and tried most solutions, and I still can't get iPhoto to work.
Equipment: MacBook Pro June 2010, OS 10.6.8. Bought a Macbook Air February 2012, OS 10.7.2
Not sure why, but I can't open iPhoto. Here's what I have tried.
Original message on MBPro: "You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto".
1. Tried to rebuild library as per this thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/8429269#8429269. I get the list of checkboxes, but when I hit "okay" I get the same "you can't open your current photo library ..." message again.
2. Ran software update - no sign that iPhoto is out of date.
3. Copied new version of iPhoto from brand new MBAir to MBPro, replacing older version . Got same "you can't open your current photo library ..." message again.
4. Tried to rebuild library using new version of iPhoto - guess what - same message.
5. Downloaded free trial version of iPhoto Library Manager as suggested in the thread referenced above. The dmg loads to my desktop just fine but nothing happens when I click on it -- this has never happened before. Perhaps it is looking for iPhoto, which of course I can't get to work.
So I have been unable to access my old iPhoto library with (sob) thousands and thousands of family photos in it. I run TimeMachine on to an external hard drive every hour so I hope that if my iPhoto library is corrupted, there is a safe copy on that external drive ...
Between this hassle -- hours of time wasted -- and recent debacle of upgrading iTunes which erased my library and all of my playlists, which also took hours and hours to restore ... my 25 year devotion to Apple products is taking a major hit. I'm getting very weary of heart-pounding fear every time a new software upgrade arrives ... but that's a topic for another time. ;-)
Thank you very much indeed for all suggestions.

I'm going to start from scratch as the link you references is very, very old.
Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and try to create a new, test library and import some photos. If you are able to then the problem lies with your current library. If you get the same message then maybe the iPhoto application is the problem.
Try the following again: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of your library and apply the three fixes in order as necessary.
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your HD/User/Home()/ Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your HD/User/Home()/Library /Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #3
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If all of these fail there's one more option:
Start 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. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2. Open the library package like this.
Click to view full size
3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4. Drag the each subfolder in the Originals folder (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the entire Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
Click to view full size
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.

I have an ibook G4 using iphoto5. Some photos in my library cannot be opened. It hasn't always been this way.

The only solution to corrupted files is to restore from your back up.

Can't open aperture on new mac book after restore. Also, no photos will restore

Received new mac book. Restored data from CrashPlan, but Aperture & photos unavailable, or can not find. When attempting to open Aperture the icon bounces, but does not open. Same for iphoto. When in Apple Store, Iphoto shows it is installed.

"Aperture 3 on your new Mac will be able to convert and to upgrade your current Aperture Library." - How ?
Do you have an external drive, where you can copy your Aperture Library to?
Make sure, this drive is formatted Mac OS X extended, before you copy the Aperture Library to it.
Also set the "Ignore Ownership" on this volume flag. (When you select your external drive in the Finder and use the "Get Info" command, you'll see this flag in the "Sharing and Permissions" brick.
You can simply drag the Aperture library to the external drive, using the Finder.
Then connect the drive to your new Mac.
Now you first need to repair your Aperture library - it is safer:
Select the Aperture library on the drive in the Finder. Hold down the ⌥⌘-keys and double click the library. Select "Repair Database" and let that run. That may take some time.
After this you should be able to double click the Library and to open it in Aperture 3 as regular library.
Without an external drive you need to copy using the Network or to mount your ols Mac in Target Disk mode http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3838?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US. Connect it to your new mac with USB or firewire and boot it with the T key held down.
Then your new mac will see the old one as external drive.
To extract only images from your saved Masters folder, select the Masters folder you copied in the Finder, then press ⌘F. In the search panel that opens add a search (press +) and set the search to "Kind is image".
This should show all images in the folder.
Caution! If the headline is set to "This Mac" and not to the name of the folder, you need to edit the preferences of the Finder. In the "Advanced" tab of the panel set the "When performing a search" to "Search this folder".
Don't touch any images in the search, if the heading shows "this mac". Then you are risking to move any image file on your mac.
