Help- Deleted Masters and Trying to Recover via Thumbnails!!!

In an idiotic move, I just deleted the master images for an entire, very important, album. Nevertheless, I'm still seeing the thumbnails and large size previews in my Aperture photo album. They're decent quality and if I could even just be able to access and save these previews, my life would be a lot better. Is there anyway to turn the preview images into your masters?

I realize that they would normally be in the finder trash. I just got back from the assignment and, in a moment of complete negligence, I emptied the finder trash before I realized what I had done.
The previews are still there and the masters are nowhere to be found, I press the m key and it says the master cannot be found. I am seeing the thumbnails in the Aperture browser and the preview image comes up when I full screen the image but I cannot edit them or export them as the referenced, RAW file is missing.
sorry to hear this.
like Oliver said, "even after emptying the trash you can recover files ...... they are not actually deleted until you 'overwrite' them by adding or saving new information to your computer"
you can also use Boomerang Data Recovery. their support is nonexistent but the software recovers a lot.

  • I had itunes on my computer and items in my library/account. It wouldn't recognise my iPod and ipad. I have deleted itunes and tried to download it again, but with no luck! Help

    Why won't itunes download on my PC? I had it downloaded and had items in my library.  It won't recognise my iPod. So I deleted itunes and have tried 3 times to download it again, unsuccessfully. help!

    same thing happened to me...i just did the following from another reply and it worked! good luck
    Right-click the Apple iPhone, Apple iPad, or Apple iPod entry in Device Manager and choose Update Driver from the shortcut menu. 
    Click "Browse my computer for driver software." 
    Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer." 
    Click the Have Disk button. (If the Have Disk option is not present, choose a device category such as Mobile Phone or Storage Device if listed, and click next. The Have Disk button should then appear.) 
    In the "Install from Disk" dialog, click the Browse button. 
    Use this window to navigate to the following folder:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. 
    Double-click the "usbaapl" file. (This file will be called "usbaapl64" if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't see "usbaapl64" here, or if there is no Drivers folder, look in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. instead). 
    Click OK in the "Install from Disk" dialog. 
    Click Next and finish the driver-installation steps. Open iTunes to verify that the device is recognized properly.

  • Deleting Masters and Versions and pics duplicating as versions

    I'm working with a small library of some flower images and had done a 'quick and dirty' auto adjustment and easy rating [4]; then I went back and on the Versions [selected Adjustments are Applied to have only the versions show up in browser] noted some are Rejects [X]. I thought I could then delete the two images, one master and one version.
    But, when I go in to delete the Master it just does it = without a warning [I have show warning selected in prefs] - but when I go in to delete a =Version 2 it gives me the Delete Masters Warning....in other words, Aperture is treating Versions like Masters and Masters like Versions.
    Also when I go into List view to check things I find Master is [for instance] 9.47mb but so is Version 2 the same size = in other words when I do an adjustment and create a Version it's not just creating small kb size versions via data but is actually duplicating and then applying the adjustment.
    These are pics in the library not referenced.
    [I'd put a picture here but don't know how and hope my description makes sense]

    Thanks = I reread it and am thinking of the images in that way. As I tried to explain, In the library were images which I reviewed and made adjustments to [auto adjustment plus rating]. Then I did a filter to show only Versions [in which images that show are where adjustments were applied] so that only Versions would so up, marked some as Rejects with X and planned to delete those but not the masters for them.
    When I would go to delete the Version [its name would have Version 2 in it], it was treated as if it was a Master and the Delete Masters warning would come up. But when I would go to delete a Master [not a version] no such warning would come up at all even if there were a version and master associated together.
    I went to List view to check and be sure and what I am seeing is that the Master has 9.4 mb in size but the Version which was created by the auto adjustment + rating ends up also with 9.4mb and not just a few K for the data -- so that what appears to me to be happening is that the Master image is, in fact, being duplicated and not just having data changes applied = there is no size differential between the Master and the Version, in other words.

    Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down together until you see the Apple Logo.
    Note: You must hold both buttons down together.

  • DFU and tried to recover but progress bar never showed up

      I recently tried to restore my extremely loaded and bugging iPhone 3Gs into a default state via DFU mode. I used a fw file with my 6.1.2 shsh stitched into it so I may recover to 6.1.2. Things went smooth when I put my phone into pwned DFU and choose the fw in iTunes. All that is after iTunes verified that the fw can be installed and prepair to do the recovery by booting into the "bar mode" (Don't ask, just the screen that shows the firmware install progress.) The phone will just try to boot itself up as normal and I recieve a random error like err. 1604, 1643 ect. I am doing it on a Mac but swaping to a windows doesn't help.

  • I play words with friends HD free.  It locked up and I deleted it and tried to reload it to my I pad but it wont download.   I had done this before but not since I downloaded IOS 7..

    I play Words with Friends HD Free on my I pad.  The game locked up and I deleted from my I Pad.   When I tried to download it from purchased or free downloads it won't download.   I had done this before but not since updating to IOS 7.02.   I need help please.

    I don't know if this will work but it's worth a try. Sign out of your iTunes account on your iPad, restart the iPad and sign back into your account.
    Go to Settings>Store - tap on your Apple ID and tap on sign out. Restart your iPad and then sign back in via Settings>Store  - tap on sign in and enter your email and password.

  • One of my blackberry playbook email accounts quit working and I have done everything in my power to get it back up and going to no avail. I finally deleted it and tried to put it back on. Forget that. What is up with this? I have had playbook from the sta

    now i am really frustrated with it. Every single update has robbed me of battery power which began with about 8-10 hours of usage and now I am lucky if I get 2 hours. It isn't the battery. It has something to do with the updates to the OS. It was fine until the first one and it has only gotten worse each time. I have had three email accounts on here since they started with the message app and now it has gone crazy. It gives me a server error message each time. I put in the same settings for it as the ones on my laptop to no avail. I am ready to scream. I have worked for days trying to get this email account back on my BB playbook, NOT!  And also I want another reader on here. Kobo is great, but I would love to have another option as well. I tried to put some pdf books on it a few days ago and they wouldn't show up when I put them on. Some did and some didn't. I am so frustrated with playbook. I have loved it till the last 2 weeks. Now, I am extremely frustrated to say the least. Well I have been upset about the battery thing almost from the get go. Can anyone help with the email thing. My email is a bellsouth account. I have 2 yahoo accounts on it and they seem to be fine, but afraid to take them off and re-put them all back on lest they should do the same thing.

    There is nothing wrong with the OS update.
    Delete ALL your email accounts.
    Restart Playbook
    Put the accounts back and ensure they are all set with PUSH ON.  Manual (push off) will burn battery.
    Similarly delete your wifi connections and add back when required. 
    Turn off wifi is not connected to wifi. 
    Any "hunting for connection" in email or wifi will burn up battery.

  • Error:cannot install gmail on original iPad  after deleting account and trying to re-install

    After entering valid name & password, I get an error that cannot connect to imap.gmail & that ID and/or password have been entered incorrectly.
    I have verified everything in the gmail account, and cannot find why this is happening.

    Its likely to be two factor authentication.
    I had this same issue and spent a long time trying to work out why. It occurred after I got a got a new iPhone. I went as far as resetting all my passwords, deleting my gmail accounts from the iPhone mail app etc. It turns out my issue (and hopefully yours) was that I had two-factor authentication turned on for gmail security. You have to put in a 16 digit unique password into the iPhone mail app rather than your normal sign in password. Generate this by going into your gmail --> settings --> accounts and import --> other google account settings --> security --> (check that 2 factor authentication is enabled) --> click settings next to 2 step verification --> app specific passwords ---> manage app specific passwords --> then use the drop down menus to select app (customise name - iPhone) and device. It will give you a 16 digit password and instructions on where to put it. If you are setting up the account fresh then put the app specific 16 digit password in INSTEAD of your normal gmail password.
    I hope that helps you with your problem!

  • Need help - Deleted domain and can't re-add - Error domain already exists - Site down

    In trying to reconfigure our domain setup, I removed the main domain name in an attempt to re-add it so that it does not point to an external DNS server.
    I deleted the domain and now when I try to re-add it, I get the following error:
    Domain already exists.  Please delete all records associated with this domain before re-adding it.
    I have no way to submit a ticket when I go to help and support and our site is now down from the main page.  I need help ASAP.
    I was able to submit a case when I switched browsers (Chrome apparently does not display the search bar/case submission).  The case is
    OBNW5020171
    The domain I am trying to re-add is surfaid.org

    Hi,
    I just wanted to followup to see how this case is progressing.  This is
    very URGENT as our main URL is down and we are in the final stages of a
    major campaign where participants have been instructed to go to our website
    to sign up which could result in a loss of a lot of donations.
    Any priority this can be given would be very much appreciated.
    Thank you!

  • Hi, my Macbook recently created a network with my name and password on accident. As i deleted this and tried to connect to my wifi, it didn't allow me to see or connect to my wifi router. Not sure what to do about this.

    Hi, I recently unknowingly made a network for my wifi at my home. I deleted it because I didn't want to have a password on it because I live at home. When i tried to reconnect to the wifi, it didn't even show up in my wifi options. Can't connect to it or anything. Any help here?

    "A lot of the time it just pops up on its own."
    It will pop up if it detects there is an update and you haven't set it not to pop up automatically. You may need to reset the AE back to factory spec and set it up again. Read the manual for the reset.
