Files Have Vanished from MacBook Pro DTP

Using MacBook Pro 10.8.5.  This last monday all the .eps, .pdf, .tif, .jpg, .psd and any other file which is not a font or InDesign Native File JUST VANISHED.  I connect to a Mac Server and don't have this issue seeing these files types resident on it.  Only my Desktop!
Can't find much online about this issue.  Apple Store was no help
I've updated all Adobe CS apps from the Cloud to check that.  Most current version of Java was never installed.
Need some getting these files back.

Files don't just magically vanish, look in your Trash and look on your Time Machine Backup to restore them.

  • I can not transfer files and data from macbook pro to my external hard drive, i can not transfer files and data from macbook pro to my external hard drive , so what should i do ?

    i have an external hard disk but whenever i tried to transfer any file or data from macbook to this ext.disk its failed before that i used to have another hard drive with same problem ,then i thought may  be this hard drive is not support mac then i bought a new one which supports mac but still i have same problem what should i do ?

    Ok.
    Go into Disk Utility, and make sure you select your external hard drive.
    There should be 4 tabs, one being erase. I have taken a screenshot to show you what it should be set to (obviously name it what you like), and set the format to Mac OSX Extended (Journaled) as per the example below & after double checking your in the right drive, you can hit erase. And you're done! *hopefully*

  • Desktop, OneDrive, Box files have disappeared from MacBook -- yet the folders remain!  How do I find the file contents?

    Recently I went to my OneDrive on my 2014 MacBook Pro to get some docs, and ALL the folders were empty.   (OneDrive is formerly SkyDrive.)  I also use BOX.  I checked the trash bins on my Mac and my OneDrive.  Nothing.  Then I realized that ALL my folders were empty -- including those on my desktop and in BOX.  ALL my work is gone.  This is a big deal...and unfortunately, I did not use Time Machine.
    The whole idea of the external drive was to protect these docs.  They sync with the computer -- if the computer docs disappear, so do the contents on the external drives.  But regardless, anything that was IN A FOLDER is gone -- xls, PDFs, docs, etc.  iTunes and pics are okay.
    About a week or so before this I downloaded Picasa.  Not sure if this may have had an affect on my computer.
    I contacted Microsoft  and they are useless.  I went to the Genius bar, and they never heard of such a thing.  They have moved it up but haven't heard anything from Apple.  This is something that happened due to the MacBook operating system, not a virus.  I've seen other similar posts where files "just disappear" but not to this extent.
    I really need some help or a forensic person to figure this out.  It is quite problematic.  I appreciate you help mucho....
    THANKS!!!!

    So this seemed to result in the outcome I wanted:
    - Find the old Thunderbird profile location (.../AppData/Roaming ... THunderbird/Profiles/...default/Mail/first.account.domain/Inbox
    - FInd the same location on the New laptop
    Copy the first (old, backup) inbox to a new file in the New profile folder; I did Inbox.bak
    Start TBird - and lo and behold, I have folders "Inbox" (recent mail since the old laptop crash) and "Inbox.bak" (the mail I thought was lost).
    Looks like I need to add all accounts to the New TBird first so that it creates the profiles, and after that copy the backup Inbox & Sent files to the new profile folders.
    This worked for me. Not very elegant, with several manual steps, but end result is what I needed.
    It would be great if there was a smoother way for disaster recovery.
    And yes, I should have had better backup policy in place. For everyone's benefit - I do Data Center systems for a living, and have seen far too many "backup" services which do not actually work in a restore situation. That's why my personal backups are direct file copies on large disks. It works, but leaves room for manual error, which is what happened here.
    Actual folders, btw, I keep where I see them - "c:\users\username\Thunderbird" - for this very reason.

  • Corrupt PSD files when saving from MacBook Pro

    Hey all,
    I have a 17" 2.33ghz MacBook Pro that I've had for over a year. Once in a while I use the notebook to do work in Photoshop and then save the PSD over the network to a hard drive in my PowerMac G5.
    Then, when I go to open the file on the PowerMac later Photoshop says that it can not open the file because it's not a valid Photoshop Document.
    Does anyone have any clues as to why this is happening? I have confirmed that I haven't left the file open on the MBP when trying to access it from the other computer, so that's not the issue.

    This issue is well documented and fixed in the OS 10.5.4 update released this week.

  • Files have vanished from my Desktop / Document folder

    Really not sure where to post this....
    Something very strange and bad has just happened to my computer. I plugged in my external Lacie hard drive to start a backup and, using the app that came with it, it informed me that there was no room left on the drive, shall it delete the back up and start over which is pretty standard. However as soon as it stared, the files that were on my desktop disappeared completely so all i now have is the back drop picture.
    It looks as if the app. has treated my home folder the way it would usually treat the external HD that I use for back up - it's deleted from my files alphabetically (first Apps, then Desktop then Documents and it deleted a couple of entries from my library folder before I quit). Although they aren't there anymore I don't think they've been deleted as nothing went into my trash. It almost seems like the Lacie app. has used a terminal command to 'forget' the files. Anybody got any ideas? I'm set to lose over 6 years worth of files...

    Unfortunately, an rm command will remove without using .Trash. But that seems unlikely.
    Launch Utilities/Terminal and at the prompt, type *ls ~Documents* and see what is there.

  • How do i remove file or software from macbook pro

    i installed some programs and now i want to remove them from my macbook how do i do it??

    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead.  Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
    AppZapper
    Automaton
    Hazel
    CleanApp
    Yank
    SuperPop
    Uninstaller
    Spring Cleaning
    Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.

  • Im trying to transfer music, selected files and photos from Macbook Pro to Air

    I need a fast and easy method to transfer ... any help is appreciated

    First, we aren't Apple, just users trying to help users. Second, it is very common for new users to misunderstand what Migration Assistant does. It does not copy files from your previous computer to your new computer. It copies entire accounts. If you open the System Preferences and select the Users & Groups tab, you should find the account that Migration Assistant copied. Log into it and you'll find your files there.

  • How do i transfer my data from macbook pro to iMac?

    i just bought a iMac.  How do i transfer my itunes library, photos, files via bluetooth from macbook pro to my iMac?  Much thanks for your help!

    I believe that when you boot your computer for the first time and you are following the onscreen instructions you are prompted whether you want to transfer data from an old mac or PC. If you click 'transfer from an old mac' and follow the onscreen instructions, this may work.
    If you have already skipped this step you could use iCloud to transfer data. If you make sure that everything you want to transfer is synced in iCloud, this may also work.

  • HT1449 Ok. I have an '06 Macbook Pro still running on Snow Leopard 10.6.8, and iTunes 10.6.1. I did everything in this article leading up to step 14. I thought I trashed the right file, now I can't access my music which is on my external drive now. Help!

    As stated in my above Subject field. I have an older Macbook Pro and I was attempting to move my iTunes media file using this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1449
    After getting to step number 14, I "thought" I selected the correct media file to trash from my system. Now I have my correctly copied Itunes file on my external drive that can't be accessed when I reopen iTunes. How can I get iTunes to open to my new destination now? I went to iTunes > Preferences > Advanced and selected the new location then click OK, but it still won't access.
    What am I doing wrong here?

    I had the same problem and found the answer! 
    In Outlook, go to the Help menu, then Check for Updates.
    I downloaded & updated Outlook, then it upgraded my database, and everything worked out fine for me!
    Good luck!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    I have a new MacBook Pro.  I keep getting the message "Mail would like to use your keychain "login".  How can I make this stop?  I have run the keychain repair utility.

    Hi,
    With the Finder as the Front app go to the Go Menu > GO to Folder.
    Copy and Paste the bold text below into the text field
    ~/Library/Keychains
    Highlight the Keychain.
    Use the CMD + i Keys together (Keystrokes for Get Info from the File Menu)
    In the Info Panel that appears check the Ownership and Permission bit at the bottom.
    Example Pic
    Unlock Padlock
    Check your Shortmname Appears (the (Me) one).
    Open the Cogwheel icon
    If it is Greyed Out to "Make "Shortname (Me)" owner then you are the Owner.
    Check you have Read and Write Permissions.
    You may need to check the Ownership and Permission on the ~/Library itself (you can do the same Get Info on Folders as well as Files)
    If you don't Own it then, when you have changed that also Apply to Contents.

  • I recently updated? to Lion from 10.6.8(snow leopard), and things seem to be running slower.  Has anyone had similar problems?  I have Feb 2011 Macbook pro 13" 2.3 Ghz.

    As Shootist pointed out, the system uses more power.
    However, initially it will reindex the hard drive for spotlight, which will slow things down temporarily.
    It also must rebuild caches that eventually will speed things up.
    If it has completed indexing the hard drive (no dot pulsing in the spyglass), then there might be something wrong.
    Start by booting into the Recovery HD (a partition created with Lion that has Disk Utility and reinstallation options) by holding down cmd-r when you restart. You can let go when the gray screen appears.
    When it boots, select Disk Utility and Repair the drive.
    If that doesn't speed things up, try re-installing the OS from the same Recovery HD. It won't delete any of your files, but it has helped some people whose Macs ran slow after installing Lion.
    Also, how much memory do you have? Lion needs RAM so maxing your Mac out might also help.
