Certain master images are gone: how do I use my backup vault to restore?

Images stored in a folder (the little blue book icon) named Dogs is suddenly empty. Apparently the Masters are gone too. I have searched through the Library, in the original project, by date. They are gone.
(I think I know how I lost them — by renaming other images accidently keyworded as Dogs.)
But the issue is: how do I get back these images?
I have the Library backed up to a Vault on a dedicated external FW hard drive. I have read the posts about restoring the library, but am terrified to make a misstep, with all my images at risk.
I would very deeply appreciate advice on how to proceed — that is, use the vault to restore the lost images.
Thank you very much.

Choose File>Vault>Restore Library. Aperture will show you an alert that your old library will be renamed. If this is OK click restore. After the restoration is complete Aperture will prompt you to relaunch Aperture. After relaunch you'll see another dialogue box. If everything is OK click Recover Now. The next feedback you'll get is Recovery Complete. Click OK and you're done.

  • HOW DO I USE THE BACKUP DISKS TO RESTORE MY SETTINGS AFTER A HAED DRIVE CRASH?

    I RECENTLY HAD TO SET MY COMPUTER TO THE FACTORY SETTINGS AFTER A SYSTEM RECOVERY. HOWEVER
    BEFORE DOING THIS I BURNED 7 BACKUP DISKS TO SAVE MY SETTINGS. NOE HOW DO I USE THESE DISKS
    TO RESTORE MY ORIGINAL SETTINGS?

    Hi
    Put in your first recovery disc, then go into your BIOS and set the your cd/dvd drive as the first boot device, exit saving settings, your computer should restart and boot off your recovery disc.

    Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
    I'll hit a few of your questions - others will have to do others since I'm not up on some of the issues you ask about
    4) is there an easy way to review/delete items (in 6, i run a basic slideshow and delete on the fly -- is this still workable in 7?)?
    Yes
    5) Are there significant functionality benefits of 7 over 6 (e.g., does the noise function or shadow/highlight really offer significant benefits? The Events seems obvious, but I'm more interested in "under the hood" experience
    Yes
    Loseless editing - web galleries - events
    a) Is import any faster? As my library is growing in size, the import is getting overly slow
    It is fine for me (only you can compare to your current) - I have 20542 items using 26.3 GB in 271 events
    7) Is there a full-screen edit mode?
    yes
    8) Can you configure events so that it's not just by day?
    yes
    9) Is 6's "roll" structure as mirrored in the file system still available in the Events approach, or is the database structure that once you've converted a library, there's no going back?
    Events replace rolls (if your rolls are named - NOT the default rollxxx name - they will come across as is - to me events are rolls with much more capability and a new name - some people are VERY putoff by the change (but most love it) for reasons that I simply do not comprehend
    10) What is the effective (or advised) maximum library size? I've probably got over 60GB of images in my libraries now, with 20,000 images or so. If 7 can readily digest them (and preserve all my albums, etc.), then I'd love to combine them into one, unless that will kill performance, make the database unstable, drive backups into interminable waits, etc.
    The advertised max is 250,000 photos - I have about the same number of photos as you in about 1/3 the space - there are a few users here with libararies your size. With iPhoto Library Manager it is easy to maintain multiple libraries if you choose

  • All the imported images are gone

    I've made an animation in Adope Edge Animate with a lot of images imported from the same directory folder as the animation.
    But the next time i had started up the animation, all the images are gone. The animation is saying they are still there, like in the elements and the timeline section, but doesn't show them.
    Does anyone know the problem? Maybe you have to show the directory folder of the images again or something?

    Is the images folder  in the composition folder  present?
    If you delete it your images are lost and do not show up .
    If that folder is present ,can you PM/post your animate files.I can have a look.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.

    The voicemail system used for the iPhone is different from the voicemail system used on the rest of the Verizon Wireless network. When you activate the iPhone, you lose your saved voicemails from the other system. When you activate a non-iphone, you lose any saved voicemails from the iPhone voicemail system too.

    I synced my iPod to a new music folder and now all of my games (Klondike, Vortex, etc) are gone - how do I get them back? Please help! Thanks!

    Aren't those the default games that come with the iPod Classic?  If so, they won't be in your iTunes library, but only on your iPod Classic itself as they are built in the iPod's software.

    Only way to get it back is to restore your phone from a backup, if those pics were included in that backup.
    But most likely those pics are gone.
    What you should've done was import http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 the pics to your computer and after you restored from your old backup, you could sync those new pics to your phone via itunes.

  • I restored my iPad and all my pictures and videos are gone how do I get them back?

    I restored my iPad and all my pictures and videos are gone how do I get them back?

    Well, when you restore your ipad, there is really no way to get the information back. The reason you restore it i to get all of the information off of it. Why did you restore it if you wanted to keep the info?
    Aa far as I know, there is no way to un-restore any device. But, you can put the info back onto the device if it was on your computer, etc.
    Sorry...

    Aren't they in your iTunes library?  If so, sync them back to your phone.  If not, redownload them (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519).

    i have a 3gs that i just updated to 5.0. all my contacts are gone. how can i get them back?

    Are your contacts still on your computer? If yes, set one contact up on the phone and sync it, you'll get the option to merge data.
    If there are no more contacts on the computer, see if your latest backup still has the info, if you did not sync after you lose the info, they are still part of the backup.

  • Certain psd images are saving darker as jpegs

    I use Photoshop CS3.
    Certain psd images are turning out darker after I save them as jpegs. The shadows are far more predominant and the images are significantly darkened. This only happens with photographs that I have edited over the past two or three days. All photographs that I have edited four days ago or more save exactly as they appear in photoshop. There is no darkening whatsoever. I can't figure out what is causing this recent batch of photographs to save differently.
    Both batches are RGB 8 bits, Color Mode 3, with an ICC profile of sRGB IEC61966-2.1.
    Thanks.

    Is your display profiled and calibrated, and if so, what software/hardware did you do this with?
    What version of Windows are you running?
    It sounds as though your Windows Photo Viewer may not properly be using the document and monitor profiles to do color-management.
    Windows Photo Viewer has been color-managed since at least as far back as XP SP3, but I'm wondering if your monitor profile just isn't being interpreted correctly.  Perhaps it's in a format your OS software can't handle.
