HELP!!! I can't find my work

During the process of editing clips in iMovie, the external firewire drive containing the movie came unplugged and when I quickly secured the plug and tried to save my work, the computer would not respond. Luckily, I felt better because I had just saved my work a few minutes earlier. When I got the drive re-mounted and opened the file, NONE of the edited clips were present and all of the remaining clips had been moved to the trash. I am currently running Data Rescue II in an attempt to recover 2 days worth of editing, but I need some advice in case that does not work

Trashing the iMovie and iLife preference files may fix the problem you are experiencing. See this User Tip by AppleMan1958 for full details:

In Lion and Mountain Lion, an alternative way to open your user Library folder (to access the Preferences folder), is to click and hold down Go in the Finder menu bar and then press and hold down the Option key on the keyboard. The Library folder will appear in the drop-down menu. Slide the pointer down until Library is highlighted. As you release the mouse button, the Library folder will open.

    Please help, I can't find face time and Siri icon on my mini ipad? Just bought it I have the IMessage icon and is able to use it.

    There is no Siri "icon". You access Siri using the Home button. But you may need to turn it on: Settings App > General > Siri. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4992
    Same for the FaceTime function (but if it is ON, there will be an icon): Settings App > FaceTime > [turn it on and set you Apple ID. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4319

  • I can't find my work on my Timeline!

    Help! I can't find all the work I have done. I did work and saved it and when I open it up now it just comes up with the viewer and browser. It has everything in the browser that I need, but the timeline doesn't come up. When I go to windows the timeline part is not highlighted. How do I find my timeline with all my work on it!!!!!

    But I am not looking for each of the sequences themselves. I already had a timeline that had several sequences, pictures, and songs already on it. That is what I cannot find. I'm sorry if I am not making sense. It is the final product that is on the timeline, the culmination of all the work sequences, pictures, songs etc. I don't know where that timeline went.

  • When syncing my iPhone with iTunes, I get the error, "some items did not sync, see itunes for help", but can't find any helps for this in iTunes. Where can I find out what is not syncing?

    When syncing my iPhone with my iPhone, I get a message that 2 items did not sync - use iTunes for help.
    But I can't find any help information in iTunes at all, let alone when items are not syncing.
    How do I figure out what is not syncing?

    Since it seems App related, I'm not sure what to offer you.  I guess the only suggestion I have is for you to reboot your iPad and then try again.  To reboot, hold the power and home buttons at the same time for at least 10 seconds (keep holding past the swipe to shut down bar if it appears) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.  You won't lose any settings or data, so it's worth a shot.

  • Macbook Pro can't find properly working Airport Express network

    I have an Airport Express that's set up and working properly, and my Mac Mini and my iPhone both find the airport network, but not my MacBook Pro. The MacBook pro is even closer to the Express than the Mini is, and it finds many available airport networks (from the neighbors), but not my own network that the other units find without a problem - my own network just isn't listed among the others on the MacBook Pro, and Airport Utility on the MBP can't find the Express either. I've obviously tried restarting everything, as well as resetting the Express and setting it up again (which works just fine from the other two units), and I've tried creating a new user account on the MBP and check from there, but no go. The MBP runs the latest version of Snow Leopard and works just fine with other Airport Networks (at work, or one of the neighbors networks even), so it shouldn't be faulty hardware. At some point it's time for a Lion update for the MBP and then we'll see if it's some weird system software error that gets resolved in the process. But until that happens … what else could I try?
    I'm thinking maybe this is some 802.11 b/g/n malfunction? The Express is an old g, the iPhone is g only, and the Mini is an old g as well, but the MacBook Pro is newer and supports n … but it should of course still be able to switch down to g and find the **** network (or the Express when running Airport Utility).
    Anyone?

    Well, I can't delete the wireless connection since it doesn't really exist (on the MacBook Pro). Had the Express in my office, but brought it home, and reset it there and created a new network using the Mac Mini, so the MacBook Pro had never been connected to that newly created airport network. But I did delete a lot of old saved connections, some of which were from when the Express was used in my office. This was however, before I read your reply here, so I didn't also erase the passwords from the keychain, however. But still no go; the MacBook just wouldn't list the new network among the available ones, or list the Express in the Airport Utility.
    But then … last night, for no apparent reason whatsoever, suddenly everything just works.
    In trying to wrap my head around this, and learning from it. Is it even possible for an old network used on an Airport device to interfere with a new network created by the same device? What I mean is, does the computer identify the airport by some sort of serial number or something, regardless of the network created by the airport? So that when a computer should be looking for a new and current network on an airport device it instead looks for an old network it has previously been connected to on that same airport device? Assuming the old network should still exist on that same device, and therefore skipping to look for a new network on the same device? I mean that would suck, but if that's the case then at least I'd know to always erase all traces of any old connections for a specific device in a case like this. ;-)
    Thanks for your input!
    Cheers!

  • Help, iTunes can't find my music

    I am trying to make space on my mac book pro HD because I am switching over from a 500gb 7200RPM drive to a 128 solid state HD. I moved my iTunes library over to an external drive and set the folder in preferences to point at the Itunes library on the external dive and Itunes says it can't play any of my music because it can't find the files. I have checked the file size of the file on the external and it is 15 gb - the files are there but iTunes can't connect to it.
    Any one goy any ideas?

  • HELP - iMac can't find system file for start-up

    Hi,
    My Rev. B iMac (running OS 9.2) suddenly can't find the system file. I was working in MS Word for Mac when the system crashed. Upon start-up the computer couldn't find the system and showed a flashing question mark in an old floppy disk icon.
    I started from my original OS 8.5 Install disk and ran disk utilities. That fixed a problem that was detected.
    BUT the flashing disk continued at start-up.
    I tried to "re-bless" the system folder as described in the Apple iMac trouble shooting guide, but no luck.
    All my data is still on the hard drive, I just can't get the machine to start from the hard drive -- it will only start from the Install CD.
    Any ideas on how I can get it to start up?
    I really don't want to reinstall OS 8.5 and then go through the upgrade to get back to OS 9.2 again if I don't have to!
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi, Michael -
    Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
    I really don't want to reinstall OS 8.5 and then go through the upgrade to get back to OS 9.2 again if I don't have to!
    Installing OS 8.5 is not needed, since there is no update available to take any version of OS 8 to any version of OS 9. An OS 9 install must start with a full-install CD; for your model, that means any retail OS 9 Install CD (white label, gold 9).
    What version of OS 9 was on the hard drive - OS 9.2.1, or OS 9.2.2?
    What version OS 9 Install CD do you have available?

    PLZ HELP ME

    Try looking in your User folder.
    Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Mail/V2
    If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    Show User Library
    You might want to bookmark the command. I have to use it again after every update. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • Help Me , can't find what is wrong :S Simple code

    Hello everyone, im'm back =P ...well the problem is : I can't find what's wrong with this code above. The output shoul be "-1" but it prints -4 , it should print the min. value of an array. An absolute value to do that , its simple just do: e.g ( if ( n < 0 ) n = n * -1 ; and then check what is the min. value of the array. I just copied the content of the first array to the second .
    damn...what is wrong? :S
    public static void main (String[] xxx) {
         int [] array = {7,-4,-1,2}
        System.out.print( "The shortest number is: "+ minValue(array));
          static int minValue(int [] x ) {
        int []  newarray = new int [x.length];
        int min = mat[0];
        for( int i = 0; i !=x.length; ++i) {
       if ( i < o)  i = i * -1;
       else i = i * 1;
        newarray[i] = x[i] ;    
            for (int i = 0; i != mat.length; ++i) {
          if ( min > mat[i] )  min = mat;
    }return min;
    Thanks!!! I realy need your help plz!

    Almost!!!!! :D
    it returns 1 , should return -1 LOLO this is an exercise for practice, because i've the final test tomorrow .
    Is the last one , and i'm getting annoying of it :P.
    That's why i copied the 1st to the 2� array (but without the signal).
    U must ignore the signal when it checks, but it must print the number even if it has the signal . E.g -1 , u check ignoring the signal and the ouput must be: -1
    :S

  • Can't find my working wired telephone in device list

    I have the ea4500 N900 router running version 2.1.39.145204.
    I use a ooma (ooma.com) telephone box that connects to the router (wired) It does not show up in the device list, I do not see the mac address on the list but the phone works. at one time I did see the telepone listed and I prioritized it. When I could not login to my router I was forced to reset the router and every thing is back but I can't find the telephone box or any indication that it is connect but it is working
    the reason I'm interested in finding and being able to prioratize the phone, I can no longer fax which before was never a problem.

    Did you set a static IP address on the VoiP device? If so, it might up appear in the device list. This is ok if you have a static IP address ON the VoIP device. I recommend that you input this IP address into the routers DMZ so the VoIP gets all services it needs with out any router processing as it doesn't need any processing which may cause connection problems on the VoIP device. 

  • Just a question about a song!!! HELP! CAN'T FIND IT!

    I was wondering if anyone could help me find a song?
    It's the one that is playing in the new ipod commerical; the one where they are salsa-ing(I know that's not a word).
    I can't seem to find it on itunes. I know at some point they had a playlist of all the songs that they play on the commericals, but I can't find it.
    Either that, or does someone know the name?
    Thank you in advance!!
