Film rolls/titles magically disappeared (I want them back)

hello -
this morning I opened iPhoto6 and to my surprise there were only photos--rows and rows of photos--rather than my film roll icons and my text that encapsulated the film rolls. My library is large due to work and family history images -- 19,430 photos to date. Those film roll icons and what I write for each film roll is vital to how I organize my images.
I remember this happening years ago (when the machine was under warranty!) and I called AppleCare. I dimly remember something about a bad plist. The guy had me throw something away and reboot--it was pretty easy if only I could remember what he told me.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

To renew the preference file quit iPhoto and delete the iPhoto preference file ("your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist) launch iPhoto and it will create a fresh default preference file - reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it

    Check Settings>General>Restrictions to be sure Camera, Safari and Installing Apps are set to On.  If they are check all your screens and inside all your folders.  If you still can't find it go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.  This will restore the home screen to its original configuration but may move other apps around to do so.

  • Deleted songs on iphone, I want them back. Songs still in itunes won't sync back

    I imported these songs from my CD. Placed them in a playlist and synced my phone.  Songs were fine. I later deleted the songs on my phone them to make room, but now I want them back. I tried re-syncing songs with the following options checked: manage songs manually.  All songs, albums, and playlists are checked accordingly. I've synced and re-synced.  The songs do not appear on my phone. However, when I look at iTunes. All songs and playlists are there and they are checked. What am I doing wrong?
    Please help!

    You can always go back into iTunes and repurchase the apps. iTunes will see you already paid for them and download them for free. If you purchased any of the apps on your iPhone and haven't synced since, you can transfer purchases off your iPhone to iTunes.

  • TS2755 Can see messages on iPad but want them back on my phone

    I hadn't done a back up on my phone before I installed IOS 7.2 & have lost my messages from the last 3 weeks, I can see them on my iPad but want them back on my phone

    Thank you, I do not know if I have a IPad to computer cable to connect, I have looked and cannot find one but will keep checking.  This must be the answer.  Thanks so much.

  • By right clicking on something, I accidentally blocked photos at a website--I want them back but can't figure out how to do it

    By right clicking on something, I accidentally blocked photos at a website-- want them back but can't figure out how to do it
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == I right clicked on block images at a site or something like that.

    Check the image exceptions: Tools > Options > Content: Load Images: Exceptions - See [[Options window - Content panel]]
    A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (''Site Identification'' icon) on the left side of the location bar and click the "More Information" button.
    This will open the Security tab of the ''Page Info'' window (also accessible via Tools > Page Info).
    Go to the ''Media'' tab of that Page Info window.
    Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow.
    If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box ''Block Images from...'' then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

  • Problem with iphoto 6 NOT DISPLAYING FILM ROLLS WITH film roll titles

    i was busy renaming film rolls in the library when for some unexplained reason, the film rolls disappeared & only one enlarged picture is in view for each film roll. I cannot see the thumbnail pics in each film roll. How do i restore how the library shows film rolls? i tried going to View/sortby/film rolls. Nothing changes. Please help
    thanks TD for reply: the slider on lower right did help me see all my pictures BUT still cannot view list of individual film rolls with titles. any other ideas? Was in process of backing up film rolls on CD when the library changed: eliminating film roll view.

    i just kept trying different options with the view menu - restored film rolls with titles.

  • Security update 5.0 disabled Kaspersky and RealPlayer pugins, I want them back on, roll back the update

    Latest "security" update to Firefox 5.0 has disabled Kaspersky and RealPlayer plugins. I want these back on. They are needed, the so-called security fluffyware update is not.
    I need the update rolled-back!

    I managed a temporary work-around by re-installing Firefox 4.0
    Firefox 4.0.1 was no good because it automatically updated to Firefox 5.0
    Fortunately I had saved the installers to disc in April/May 2011, they are not available from Mozilla - and they should be!
    I had to turn off the automatic update and install feature, this is what caused the problem in the first place. This is a dangerous feature to let loose.
    All updates should be thoroughly tested that they do not disable important security and other add-on features, or should wait until suitable updated add-ons are available. Kaspersky and RealPlayer are important main-stream add-ons, not trivia. This is a classic violation of software control in design.
    The latest Firefox 5 "Security Update" urgently needs to be rolled-back across the board and fixed before re-applying.

  • My bookmarks are gone and I want them back -- DO NOT TELL ME TO SEE YOUR LOST BOOKMARKS SECTION, I ALREADY HAVE AND IT IS NOT RELEVANT.

    My bookmarks are gone, yet again. This has happened before, but last time it was fine. I was able to restore them since they get saved automatically some days. This time, the "restore" option is not working. It says it can't get to the files or something. My bookmarks are VERY important to me. I would like them back. And please, PLEASE do not tell me to check the "lost bookmarks" section. I read through everything that looked applicable and none of it helped in the least. I apologize if I am being rude, but my bookmarks ARE ALL BLOODY GONE! I even looked in some MozillaZine thing for help, and it hasn't helped at all! It just tells me "this is here, which is a bunch of letters and numbers you'll never understand, and that's there, which is ANOTHER bunch of letters and numbers you'll never understand!!" NONE OF IT MAKES ANY SENSE WHATSOEVER! I want to talk to someone personally about this. An English-speaking human, preferably. God, I don't even CARE! Just help me get them back!!

    I've encountered the same problem; I (reluctantly) upgraded Firefox after years of happily using version 2, and discovered that I should have, apparently, saved my bookmarks before updating.
    There is NO "places.sqlite" file anywhere on my hard drive.
    Following the procedure at https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Lost+Bookmarks#Restoring_bookmark_backups restores the bookmarks folder saved *today*. . . after Firefox reverted to a *two year old file* and saved it over my existing one. (How do I know it's two years old? It has house search information from before my toddler's birth, that's how.)
    There is no bookmarkbackups folder.
    Searches across my hard drive for the following files turn up nothing useful:
    * bookmarks.bak
    * bookmarks.html
    * bookmarks.html.moztmp
    * bookmarks-(date).html
    * bookmarks-(date).json
    Oh, there *is* a bookmarks.html file that's larger than the 7/2 one that's been created; it is, however, from a transfer from IE bookmarks dated 2006.
    None of the rest exit. Even searching for just the extension of .json turns up nothing.
    I really, really want my bookmarks back, and I am not thrilled about this; I trusted Firefox not to screw up on an upgrade, and that's the only reason I didn't make a backup before installing. Silly me.

  • I changed my Apple-ID email settings, now all the iMessages are gone. Why is that? I want them back.

    As the title says, I just changed my Apple-ID because I got a new main email account. Now all the iMessages are gone.
    How can I get them back or will they synchronize again?
    This really saddens me because I love storing my old conversations.
    Thanks for your input.

    I have a problem with iMessage syncing between my MacBook and my iPhone.  It used to sync just fine [i.e., I could see the same iMessage conversation on both my iPhone and MacBook], but no longer. 
    Now, I believe I inadvertently caused the problem because I changed my Apple ID [I was changing from a @comcast.net address to an @gmail.com one].   When I go into iMessage on my iPhone and attempt to add my email addresses [in addition to the phone number] a default Sign on box appears with my old @comcast.net Apple ID.   The old password to that address does not work, and entering the new password to the new @gmail.com address does not work either.   I cannot seem to find a way to edit the default [older] Apple ID that pops up.  Any suggestions?  Thank you.

  • IOS5 wiped my camera roll. How do i get them back?

    I updated my iphone4 to ios5 and i backed it up before i updated it, but my photos i took on my camera roll dissapeared. Is there anyway to get them back since i backed up my phone before the update?

    If this applies...
    You can import photos or video taken or saved on the iOS device. Information on importing photos and videos is available in the iPhone User Guide, iPad User Guide, or iPod touch User Guide. You can find additional information on importing your photos from your iOS device in this article.
    Note: You cannot transfer photos that you synced to your iOS device from another computer. You can only transfer photos or videos that you took or saved on the iOS device.

  • Lost music bought from i tunes store and want them back

    over the last couple of months i have paid for over 200 quids worth of music mainly a few films but iv managed to loose all the purchased items evan wiv time machine (so time machine is bollox) now when i go to download the same tracks again i have to f'in buy them again now what can i do about that...?

    Sorry, but officially Apple does not allow redownloads of purchased items other than iPhone/iPod touch applications. The official statement of their policy can be found here, among other places. If your content was erased and you don't have a backup of your purchased items, and don't have them on an iPod, you're probably out of luck and will need to repurchase your tracks.
    If you have your tracks on an iPod or have them backed up, post back and someone here can help you get them restored. Otherwise you can try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service and explaining what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis. But don't count on it.

  • I deleted my albums in Iphoto and want them back

    Restore from your back up is the only way.

  • The File/edit/view/history/tools/help bar and the Back/refresh/and home buttons that used to be on the top left of the screen are no longer there. I want them back

    I don't know what I did, maybe download a more recent version of firefox, but I no longer have any of the file/edit/view/history/bookmarks/tools/help bar on upper left hand of the screen.
    I also lost the BACK button the refresh or undo button and the home button.
    where did they go and how do I get them back?
    Thanks
    Jim F

    Aha! I found the "refresh" button at the end of the place where I enter the URL. don't know where "home" is yet, but my home page has mysteriously appeared in the tool bar above the URL.

  • Deleted events and want them back!

    I have unintentionally deleted several photos from their events. I thought when I made albums of them, I could delete the events to save space. When I went back to the albums, they were not there. Of course, they are not in the trash because I used the delete key. I use Time machine as a backup on an external drive. Is there a way to recover these photos from either of these sources?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions,
    Using the delete key in iPhoto does not remove the picture permenantly. It puts it in the iPhoto trash on the left hand side under "Recent". Check in this trash can first. If the desired pictures are there just highlight them and go to Photos Menu > Restore to Library to put them back.
    If the images are not in your iPhoto Library and not in the iPhoto Trash then that means you emptied the iPhoto trash. You can get them back from Time Machine.
    While in iPhoto go to File > Browse Backups.
    Use the time line on the right hand side to choose a date when the pictures were still in your library.
    Locate the picture(s) on screen and click on them to highlight them.
    Click on restore at the bottom of the screen to re-import them into iPhoto from the backup.
    Hope that helps.
