Have just upgraded (?) to Lion in order to save photos on the iCloud but iPhoto cannot find my 25,000 pictures! Are they lost forever?

Have just installed Lion OS in order to save my many thousands of photos on to the icloud BUT they seem to have nearly ALL disappeared!
PLEASE tell me that they're still there somewhere!
iPhoto simply asks for a library and lists none as existing.
Picasa has found a very few pictures when asked to search the entire computer. Seem to be those used in other applications.
Where are all the others?
How do I rescue them?

Did you make a complete back up of your system before installing Lion?

I have just upgraded to Lion and I now find that my VPN network does not work properly. It worked fine with Leopard.

I have just upgraded to Lion and now my VPN connection does not work properly. It was working fine when I was using Leopard. The VPN is My Private Network and we use it to link to BBC iPlayer when abroad. It will actually connect to the VPN site and shows a UK IP address, but then when we try to load an iPlayer programme we get the message from the BBC that we are not in the country and, therefore, cannot access the site. Any suggestions?

Have a look at System Preferences, Accessibility, VoiceOver.

I have just upgrade my Ipad3 to IO6 and for some reason the youtube app just gone disappeared. Please help

I have just upgrade my Ipad3 to IO6 and for some reason the youtube app just gone disappeared. Please help!!

The YouTube app is not included in iOS 6. You will either need to try one of the YouTube apps from the store (there is an iPhone optimised app from google, and other people have said that they are working on an iPad version), or try accessing the mobile version via Safari : http://m.youtube.com (you can create a home screen shortcut for the site)

There's no need to go to the store if you don't want to. You can purchase and download the new version from the Parallels web site. In fact if you want to try it out, I believe you can do the download and get a two week trial version. Later you can purchase the serial number to make it official.
I cannot be certain about your data, but I did not lose anything when I updated to Lion and faced a similar situation.
Best of luck.

I have a new computer with Windows 7 professional, Office 2007, Adobe XI. I have just created a word document and tried save it as a PDF but the PDF option doesn't appear in the drop down menu. Any ideas please? Thank you.

What is "Adobe XI" - Reader, or Acrobat?
But either way, 'Save as Adobe PDF' is a Word function, independent of what Adobe software you have installed.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check you are logged into your store account properly (settings > store). Also check there are no restrictions set that might be causing this (settings > general > restrictions)

I have just subscribed to Adobe Export and my debit card has been charged but I cannot convert a pdf into a word format on my mac. Does it take time to process? I have purchased the package about thirty minutes ago?

Hi nickel13,
What is the problem you are facing?
Is this happening with a single PDF file?

After I upgraded to Mavericks my Epson 5000V scanner is not working properly. I can scan by going into Preference/PrintersScanners to operate the scanner, but I cannot find the output.

Have you installed Apple's latest Epson drivers?

HT4236 I had to completely reset my phone back to "new" at the Apple Store and the Genius told me that my PhotoStreams would download automatically back to my iPhone after the reset. They have not. Are they lost forever?

Have you logged into iCloud on the phone? If not they won't be there, also just to let you know photo stream doesn't keep your photos forever anyway. It will keep up to 1000 photo's after that it will delete the oldest photo there, it will also delete any photo that is 30 days old.

HT4623 I recently updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.1 and lost all of my contacts. My phone was less than 30 days old and I did not have an account with iCloud prior to the back-up. Any way to restore my contacts or are they lost forever?

I have the exact same problem. I did the update on my iPhone 5 yesterday, opted for the iCloud set up in the update and then it wiped my contacts. They are not on my phone or in the cloud...

Have just upgraded to Lion. In all applications a box now appears that encloses topics, etc on the screen. It is a problem as it also randomly moves around the screen. Have no idea what the purpose is and want to get rid of it. Scroll does not work.

Just upgraded to Lion. Scroll does not respond. Have tried altering preferences. Will not fix. In all applications, including this page, a box appears and seems to randomly move around the screen, resting wherever I begin to work. How can I turn this off and get scroll to work normally?

I just upgraded to Lion. When I import photos it imports the same photo over and over. Not even one of the photos selected!! Do you know how to fix this?

I just upgraded to Lion. I just installed iLife'11 last night. When I import photos into iMovie (version 9.0.4.) , it imports the same photo over and over as if it were the ones I selected. Not even one of the photos selected!! The thumbnais show that unselected photo, if I preview then I just see the preview screen all black.
I even tried making an iPhoto album and importing straight from there. Exact same thing. I have restarted the application, restarted the computer, and googled half-to-death. No answers.
Do any of you know how to fix this?
I am working on OS X Lion (10.7.1) , a 2009 15" MacBook Pro. 4GB Memory. 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. 4GB Memory 1067 MHz DDR3.
Hope someone can help!!!
