Clips disappeared in iMovie - how to get them back?
I've had a number of clips just disappear from my events in iMovie 9.0.8.
In the Event Library, the thumbnail still shows, the sound plays, but there is no video.
When I click on "Reveal in Finder", the source files shows but only as very small (e.g. 150KB). The clips which still work are all in the many MBs when I do the same and reveal in finder. The source files themselves don't play video (nor do they have sound), whereas the source files for clips which are still ok in iMovie will play just fine in QuickTime. What's even more mystifying is that when I go back in Time Machine, the source files for the missing clips never show up as large or playable, even though I know for certain that these clips worked in the past. I have not recently done any software/system upgrades, moved or deleted files or done anything unusual that I can think of.
Any ideas? Has anyone seen this before?
Your original media files in the finder are obviously too small and since they are the same on Time Machine copies, they must have been like this for some time. If your earliest Time machine versions are too small I don't see any way of recovering them.
Were they from a different source or imported in a different way from the clips that still work?
Geoff.

Green loops disappear--how to get them back without reloading LExpress?
I just got the new macbook pro with Logic express pre-installed. As I'm doing the tutorial, everything is going just as the tutorial says it should. Then, when I go to open the next loop, logic asks me if I want to change something. I don't know what it was asking me to do! And the tutorial didn't mention anything about that, so when it asked me for my password to do so, I just pressed cancel. After that, all the green loops disappeared! I don't know how to get them back and I'm really frustrated! the tutorial wants me, for example, to go to elec piano and all drums, but they are greyed out and i can't click on them. Then, I started right clicking those buttons to see if I can get them to open, and I pressed other buttons and it changed the buttons. (ex: right click All Drums>genre, Instrument, descriptors. When I chose one of those, the all drums button disappeared and now I have a different button there. How do I get the green loops back and make the loops tab the way it originally was???? WHAT DID I DO?!?! A previous poster said he fixed it by uninstalling Logic, and reinstalling it but I don't want to do that.
I am sure this is a bug and you have to report this to Apple ASAP. Describe what you did exactly. This is the second time I see a LE9 user having such a problem. And it is a very annoying tendency, if you ask me.
There is no other way apparently to have this fixed than to re-install Logic Express. -
Notes disappearing off ipad but see them in icloud how to get them back on ipad
disappearing notes in notes app but see them in icloud
i had 10 notes in my iOS5.1 ipad then I turned on icloud with notes
all the notes went up to the notes folder on icloud mail plus some were duplicated on icloud - than a day later I went to my notes app on the ipad to use them and all were missing but 2 notes -- I can't figure out how to get them back on to the ipad under notes - I saw lots of people having the same issue but no resolution to fix - can you give me any ideas - I only have 2 devices ipad and pc with icloud
thanks marshaHi Michael, thanks for replying. Yes, I meant the music videos. I want to keep on using Match but at the same time I want my music vids included as music. The alternative is to consider them a basic "movies" but it is just not it... It is also strange that I can not delete from the iPad a downloaded song from match without turning of Match on the iPad. Well, we´ll have to live with it.

Most of the videos I have purchased from Itunes have disappeared from the screen and I have no idea how to get them back...help ????
Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences, but not Bookmarks and history''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you. -
The songs disappeared from two computers and are grayed in on my iphone...I cannot play 192 songs...how to get them back or how to delete them from my phone so I can start over? I do not want icloud...I synced my phone to the computer and everything was fine for awhile...where did the songs go?
Because it says it's incompatible when it can't be, I got hope. I get error messages all the time with my iPod and iPhone that it cannot sync and that 'this device is not capapble of connecting to iTunes' stuff. I literally forget that happened, plug it in again and it works, I later realize that iTunes made a mistake, they do that.

Hi I have a new iPhonei 4S and my ringtones are missing anyone know how to get them back. P. s I don't have a computer
When you say "account," do you mean your iTunes library, because your iTunes library is what is on your computer? Your iTunes library does not have an email address. An account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID (which is an email address) and you use it as your user name to sign in to the iTunes Store, to make purchases. Changing your Apple ID will not make songs disappear from your computer's iTunes library.
If you had an Apple ID and used it to make song purchases from the iTunes Store, and then started using a different Apple ID, you should be able to re-download the songs purchased with the old Apple ID. In iTunes, sign in to the iTunes Store using your OLD Apple ID (and password). That may not be your current email address, but Apple uses it as your user name, so it does not matter.
On the iTunes Store Home screen, click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS. This takes you do the Purchased screen, where you can re-download previous song purchases (for that Apple ID) at no cost.
NOTE: If those song purchases are from more than a few years ago, you may also need to authorize your computer to play (and sync) songs for your old Apple ID.
For songs that were not purchased from the iTunes Store, if they are also gone, you cannot get them back unless you have a backup (or they are still loaded on your old iPod).
If that's not what you mean by "changed the email address on my account," please post back with more details. -
In my Finder window, the picture icons that usually show up next to the items are not there. i.e. in my sidebar, the little pictures that are usually by the Application, Desktop, Documents, etc items. Also, the back and forward arrows, list items and tasks don't show as well. Any ideas on how to get them back?

Hello there, Capricious13.
There are great pointers in the following Knowledge Base article. Depending on where you see the content and where you want to get it to, this should guide you to putting it in the right place:

All the images in my Speed Dial thumbnails have disappeared and I can't get them back.
All the images in my Speed Dial thumbnails have disappeared and I can't get them back. When I check the settings all the thumbnails have the site shown in the details so should be showing the site in the thumbnail, but they're just blank. I uninstalled Speed Dial and installed it again, but to no avail. Something is stopping the image appearing but don't know what. I paused blocking on Ghostery, but that makes no difference. Any suggestions would be welcome!

Missing Templates in iphoto how to get them back?
I'm using Macbook Pro with OS X 10.7.2 , i have iphoto version 9.2.1 (628) , Now when i use email in iphoto and i want to use the templates so they are missing can someone help me how to get them back?
You'll need to reinstall iPhoto from the source it came from, i.e. the Software Install disk that came with your MBP or an iLife11 disk. If the MPB came with Lion install you'll have to download iPhoto from the App Store.
To reinstall iPhoto you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,
Click to view full size
Then install iPhoto and apply any needed updaters.
I may be presching to the choir here but in Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
