Disappearing files, need help! ASAP

Hello everyone,
Im a new user here but not new to mac. I've come up with a problem that I can't solve on my own, and I hope that someone here can shed some light or point me to a proper solution in time.
It's happened to me twice already, this one being the 2nd, luckily the first had a backup, but not this time around. Currently Im working on a short film for a film contest due on the 30th. I had my Imac running premiere pro CS6, it was on for the day. When I came back to it, I noticed one of my sequences with videos were gone. I shot with 2 cameras and the main camera files went missing. Folder is still there in the HDD and the metadata files linking the files to premiere are there, but the actual videos are gone.
There were 2 folders made for each camera for that day. The 2nd camera folders remained intact. Nothing except cfa and pek files were in the main folder.
These are the things I did:
- unhid all files via terminal. nothing.
- checked trash. nothing
- searched name via spotlight. nothing.
- scan with iskysoft data recovery. found files but after recovering they ended up being another video from another folder. weird.
- used disk utility on external hdd, verified disk, no errors.
- used disk utility, repaired disk anyway
- I used parallels and searched with windows to see if it was a finder error. Nothing
- currently deep scanning the hdd using Ontrack Easyrecovery and Disk Drill
Here are a couple things. I have the same file name for a few a videos, since they're numbered like 00008.mts, but they're in completely different folders on the same hard drive. Could this be a problem? If so, I've never had a problem like this before. This has happened before in a similar situation.
If you know what this problem is or have a helpful solution, let me know please! Im desperate.
Thank you in advance,
Bryan

As you can see. Only the video files went missing.

All my Albums in PSE 10 have disappeared. Need help asap to recover.

All my Albums in PSE 10 have disappeared. Need help asap to recover.
I have over 50 Albums and over 20K photos.
I did nothing wrong that I am aware of.
I believe Adobe intentionally sabotages older versions to force you to purchase the new version.
This has happened now 4 times in a row. To hide what they are doing they change the problems.
When I purchase the new version the problem miracleously disappears.

Hi,
Please ensure that correct catalog is open. Can you please show me a screenshot of your Elements Organizer 10 catalog?
To confirm if albums are actually gone or is in some odd view, you may check at one more place - click Find > By Details (Metadata) > choose "Album" and see if your albums get populated in the adjoining dropdown in this dialog?
Thanks

Effects Disappearing!- Need help ASAP

Hello-
I am currently editing a page to premier new web videos on my website. I have a banner that had some applied effects (inner glow) and they are now disappearing. The HUGE problem is that these videos are supposed to premier today, along with a few more in the weeks to come!
I am running Muse version 4.1, build 8. I avoided an update in case of any new bugs.... and of course they happened anyway (a little annoying).
**Important to note: This was completely UNPREVOKED. I was successful in uploading the first video last night, but when I opened Muse today, this bug happened.
The website is http://www.nashvilletimemachine.com and the banner is the Ashley Monroe banner above the videos. I have pics of the problem below.
ANY HELP ASAP WOULD BE HUGELY APPRECIATED!!

Need Help ASAP my State tax form is in a PDF file and the attachment in my email says Please wait...
I tried downloading updates like it said to but it still will not display the document. How do I print the PDF file ASAP

Can you give us a LOT more info?
What email client? What version of Reader (I can only assume you even have Reader at this point)?
Please wait? I'm sure it says more than that, right?
Have you tried simply saving the PDF (it IS a PDF correct?) to your desktop and opening it from there?
Did you get this form from the IRS or did it come from somewhere else? If the IRS again, what version of Reader?
Help us help you.

I'm not sure if you can do that with CreatePDF. Try it; you got one free use when you sign up with Acrobat.com
If not, you will have to use Adobe Acrobat; there is a full-use 30 days trial.

First, ask in the forum for the program you are using
This forum is about the Cloud as a delivery process, not about using individual programs

Second, do a complete scan with a good anti-virus program to be sure your computer is clean... I use Norton, there are others

Stuttering flv playback issue- need help asap

We need help asap. Have a project is due to deliver today (5/14).
We have a video to go on a dvd-rom, live action with Motion Graphics behind.
When output is done thru Projector the Motion Graphics stutter as they scroll.
Here is more technical info:
Stuttering flv playback issue:
Prores 422 timeline 29.97fps 1280x720 output from fcp using current settings.
Mov file is approx 7gb, plays relatively smooth on a mac pro with no raid.
Frame by frame analysis shows all frames are present with no jumps tears or skips.
Tried several output paths, programs and settings to create a smooth flv file to no avail.
We adjusted data rates from 2k, 3.5k, 4k and 8k, no luck
We adjusted keyframe rates from low to all frames, no luck.
We tried cs3 flash encoder, cs5 media encoder, squeeze ect, same results.
Playback in the flash projector seems to choke slightly no matter what we do.
Have also posted in the Director Forum.
Any help much appreciated!

Here are a few ideas off the top of my head:
Try playing the file using a different xtra, sometimes different ones will work better. If you have Director 11.5, there is a native flv playback xtra.
You can build a player easily in Flash using the flvPlayback component, then bring that into Director as a swf.
Once you have the video in Director, try making the member Direct To Stage (DTS). If it is already DTS, try making it not DTS.
Make sure the video is not transparent, and nothing in Director overlaps the video... in fact, when the video is playing, nothing should be moving at all, and try to keep the amount of code that is running to a minimum.
Try lowering your video's data rate further or try using a different codec.
Using VBR (Variable Bit Rate) compression often makes the video appear to play smoother.
Try compressing the flv with different software. FFMpeg, for example, is free and does a very good job, often better than the Flash Video Encoder that comes with Flash/Creative Suite.

My ipod says i have no music on it, but when i plug it into itunes, and look under music on my ipod, its all there. NEED HELP ASAP!!!!! all the music came from a computer which i no longer have, so my ipod is the only place where that music is.

This morning, i downloaded about 16 songs to put on my ipod, and i manually dragged them over to my ipod to sync that way (like i always do because the music on my ipod came from a different computer which I no longer have) and on my way to work, i realized my ipod says "no content" under Music. However, when I plug my ipod into itunes and click on the music tab under my ipod name, all of my music is there. What happened and how do i get that music back on my ipod? I need help asap.

You had a glitch and the music files got corrupted. I know of no way to uncorrupt them.
You can try using a computer app like iFunbox
http://dl.i-funbox.com/
to see if yo can get them from the iPod in a usable file.
Otherwise you will have to re import them to your computer and sync
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Objects outside of workspace show in SWF... Need help ASAP!

When I export a flash movie (.swf file)And play it on full screen, the objects that are outside of the workspace show. Can anyone tell me how to fish this problem? need help ASAP! Thanks :]

If what follows isn't sufficient for you to figure out, you'll have to spend some time learning how to work with Flash. While you'll often get help solving problems in these forums, it's less likely you will get tutoring services. Google is a very good resource for tutorials.
To create a mask you draw a shape to the size you want and place it on a layer above all the content you want to mask. A mask is actually not well named because masks normally hide things, while in the graphics world, masks define the are where things are shown... so when you apply a mask to something, only what is under the mask shows. To finalize, you right click on the label area of the mask's layer and select Mask from the menu that appears. You may have to drag lower layers up towards the mask layer to get them included, whicxh is why I mentioned creating the rest of the content as a movieclip (a single layer object).
To control the visibility of objects you set their visibility to true or false (AS2: mcName._visible = true (or false), AS3:mcName.visible = true (or false)).
To create a frame around the stage, add a new layer atop everything and draw a rectangle big enough to hide all the content you don't want showing that is off the stage. Then draw a rectangle that is the same size as the stage on top of that first rectangle, placing it over the stage, and then deselect anything that is selected. Then reselect the smaller rectangle you just drew and delete it. The larger rectangle is now framing your stage.

I'm restoring my iPhone right now, need help ASAP

So I've had a corrupt file that's been taking up 7GB in my 'other' stuff on my iPhone 5 so I'm finally restoring it right now, but I'm guessing the backup data with have saved whatever that corrupt file is in it.
So 3 questions: • If I don't want to backup now but for some reason decide I want to in a say a day or so what would I do?
• Can I restore my phone from my iCloud backup, if so how?
• After restoring my iPhone will it create new backup data that will wipe over the already existing data with the corrupt file in it or what?
Thanks for any help/advice, I'm in the middle of doing this so need help asap if anyone can help.

1. make a backup any time you want.
2. Yes, if you have a iCloud backup
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
3.Yes on computer it will replace the old backup. (I suggest you manually delete the backup first)
iTunes > Preferences... > Devices > select backup and click the Delete button.

Premiere Pro CS6 keeps crashing when exporting h.264 (NEED HELP ASAP!)

Audio acting up in Premiere Pro | Need Help ASAP

Okay, I need help ASAP because this has been a serious issue for me.
So my source video (an interview) is on PR's timeline. I start playing it and it's working fine, but all of a sudden, the audio skips back to the beginning of the interview, then about 10 seconds later, it gets back on track. I checked the original video that I imported it from and it's all fine. I even reimported the file, but the problem persists.

Okay, problem solved. I took the working source video, took the audio out and put it in there.

Need Help ASAP!!! So FRUSTRATING!!! text message problems!!!

I have 2 problems right now with my BB Torch 9810. I need help ASAP.
1. It only saves 20 text messages. Messages that I received from august 2012. But it seems other messages are not stored. I don't delete messages, so I don't know where my other messages go. And sometimes if you create a new text, text history will show. But not anymore. This have been going on for a long time.
2. When I receive text message from some of my contacts, it will show the first few words of the text. But when you click on it, the message is empty. funny thing is, not all of my contacts are like this.

Hey iragarcia,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
I would suggest performing the following to resolve the issue:
1. Create a backup of all your data by using BlackBerry Desktop Software. In BlackBerry Desktop Software go to Device>Backup and save the file onto your PC or Mac.
2. On the BlackBerry Torch 9810 smartphone go to Options>Security>Security Wipe and put a checkmark beside 3rd party applications as well. Type in the word BlackBerry and press wipe data.
Please Note: You can re-install your applications through BlackBerry World.
3. Once completed test sending and receiving some SMS messages prior to restoring any data. If the issue is resolved, then go into BlackBerry Desktop Software and go to Device>Restore and choose custom and only choose contacts.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

Vera,
Use View > View Options, and set 'Sort By" to "Manual Order."
Then you will be able to drag-n-drop songs up and down the list.
