HELP: I lost all my work !

Hi there,
I am having problem with FCPX linking with my files.
I stored all my FCPX projects files, events and libraries in one external Harddisk (we called this Harddisk A). Because of some problems, I copied all the contents from Harddisk A into a new Harddisk (we called this Harddisk B).
Then I reformat Harddisk A. Then I copy back all the contents from Harddisk B to Harddisk A.
All files files and directories are the same name.
Then I launched FCPX. Why is it now that those libraries, events and medias that used to be in FCPX when I launched are now no longer in FCPX ?
Any ideas ?
Thanks

Thanks Tom,
No words can express sufficiently my gratitude to you !
You know what, it works !
Now all my years of work is back ! ... Phew ...
Just a question. if say we fast forward to say 2 years later and the same thing happens, by then I have would backup in Harddisk B of the current state of Harddisk A.
But say over the 2 years I added 50 files to Harddisk A, how do I just copy these 50 files to Harddisk B ?
What I meant to ask is how to I just copy the "changes" in Harddisk A to Harddisk B ?
Thanks

PLEASE HELP I LOST ALL MY WORK!!!!!!

When I connected my iPad to iCloud it deleted all all of my documents on pages. I tried disconnecting from iCloud but they are still not there. Do you know why this could have happened and could I get my documents back?

Help - lost all my work in pages!

When I updated my pages software last week it seems to have reverted back to older versions of documents.
Those older versions seem to have automatically uploaded to iCloud and so I now have lost all the work I did on them in the
Last week.
Is there anyway I can go to iCloud and access prior versions of documents. Ie view iCloud as it was on a certain date?
Alternatively is there a deleted folders bin in pages where perhaps I moved it to by mistake.
Huge amount of work lost!!

After two hours and 3402 words Pages decided to simply stop responding to key strokes - no warning, work was saved every 250 word - give or take.
After exhausting all menus in pages I terminated the app and restarted it.
The document, at least 1602 words of it, was there. The other 1600 words were gone.
1) there was no warning some sort of fatal limit was being approached.
2) only part of the work - possibly irreproduceable- was recovered
3) because this was on an airplane there was no connection to iCloud.
4) there does not seem to be any documentation available to help when there is no Internet connection
I have no confidence that Pages in iPad is reliable enough to do any critical or time sensitive work. So far it has cost me (unrecoverable ) several hours of valuable work.

If the application supported auto-save, yes, if not, then no.
If you were creating a mail message, it might be in the drafts folder of the e-mail program.
What evidence do you have the computer restarted itself? Did the Apple logo come up?

Help - have lost all my maps on 5230

Hi, I installed a 4GB memory card this morning, Initially the phone didn't register it but after a few tries I finally got it to see the card but it only showed 1.5GB free. Put a question up on the general phone thread but not had any reply as yet. Was browsing through the user guide and came across formatting the memory card, which showed as E: Memory Card and wondered if that might be the problem so went ahead thinking that I hadn't had a memory card installed before so nothing to lose. BIG BIG MISTAKE because i have now lost all my maps & voice guidance files, this after having got them setup perfectly thanks to help on the forum. I have reinstalled OVI Maps and OVI Suite recognises my device, it shows bottom left, but after connectingto the Map server it reports "can't find maps or voice guidance file in your device". Tried a couple of times but same result, wish now I had left everything alone, very annoyed with myself. Hope someone can help me restore my maps.
Should also mention that there are no maps or voice guidance files showing for download on the left hand side of the OVI Suite screen and of course nothing in my device.
My device shows C: with 17MB free.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi I am at a complete loss as to where I am and what I am doing. Firstly, I didn't back up because I hadn't had a memory card in the phone before and yet Maps worked OK. It also worked OK with the card eventually in,it was just the misread of capacity that caused me an issue, even made me suspect the memory card which is an Integral micro SD HC sold by Intomobilephones.co.uk as compatible with the 5230. Just to check i uninstalled the memory card, reinstalled the ovi-maps installer and tried to recreate the maps but firstly I got a message saying no memory card and USB may not work as expected and then the same OVI Suite error. So after a couple of attempts I reinstalled the memory card & ovi-maps installer. The memory card is reported as E:Memory Card with 1.8GB despite the card being 4GB. If by chance the card is faulty can I make the phone use it's own memory for maps as it was when first purchased., would this allow maps to be downloaded/installed. I then did as you suggested and opened the maps application and got the OVI Maps menu with My position-Search etc. I then opened OVI Suite but just as before it connected to the map server and then told me it couldn't find any maps or navigation guide files on my device and it doesn't give the option to download any from the map server, which seems really strange to me. I am really desperate to get this sorted and need divine guidance.I am going away at the end of the week and I wanted to use the Sat Nav.

Help! Lost all my data!

I saved my work then restarted my computer. I tried to re-open Iweb but it said that it needed a domain, it said domain.sites is not valid or something. I was trying to choose one but I didnt understand what it wanted me to choose. All of the sudden I guess it went back to default settings, now it opens but everything that I was doing, working on 3 sites (spent about a month on this so far), is gone. I did save it in folders but I don't know how to put it back on. How can I retrieve my work??

I just went through a real frustrating and similar issue.
iWeb stores key sets of info in different places:
1. The actual data files are the Domain.sites (or Domain.sites2 if you are in the iLife '08 version), which is located in the User->Library->Application Support->iWeb folder. That is the actual file that iWeb needs to access for things to work, and the file that I didn't back up properly before I updated to iLife '08 and lost all my website data in the switch.
2. Many of the preferences that make things behave poorly are in the preferences folder in your user library. Trashing the "com.apple.iWeb.plist" file can get rid of some preferences and help. It didn't do a thing for me, but reading the other posts, it helped some people. It's just a preference file, so iWeb will create a new one as soon as you open it back up.
3. There also seems to be bunch of the actual files created by iWeb on my iDisk in an aliased folder called "Web" but I'm not sure where the actual info resides. That Web folder contains a folder called "Sites" which contains folders for each of my published sites. Again, not sure where the actual info resides, or if it is necessary to back any of it up, but you might look into that if you know more about how .Mac shuffles its paperwork.
Good luck. In the end, it was much faster for me to just remake the few websites I had. I'm happier with the new versions anyway, but it still ****** me off to have to take the time to do it. It sounds like the Domain.sites file is the main one you need to back up frequently, but that probably won't help you now.

Help! Lost all mails and appointments from January 2012 to November 11

I am really disappointed first of all for not having found a direct contact to a BB Help Desk. I mena a direct mail address and not simply a Forum. Recently I discovered that I lost all my mails from my different accounts (gmail, yahoo, the professional one). At first I tried to restore them through BlackBerry Protect since the last Back Up was doneon November 11, 2013. But I did not succeed. Then I sent you an email thrpugh the web. But I got no answer. A really bad way of behaving with clients. Now what happened affected a lot my work. I lost everything: the calendar , the mails that I cannot restore. Do you have an idea how to restore the contents? Do you know why it could hpen? Nobody had ever informed me of this risk. I am using a BlackBerry since about 6 years and it is the first time I hear somenthing similar happening in Italy. Thanks for your suggestions..

Unfortunately, with that sparse information, it's rather impossible to help you figure out why this did not work.
SusannaIsabella wrote:

"You"? Who? You already recognized that this is a user-to-user forum, so who exactly did you send a request to? "the web" is rather impossible to know what you actually did.
SusannaIsabella wrote:

Restore, as with all computing devices, depends on a source of restore. From what you've said, it's impossible to tell you why your attempt to restore from BB Protect failed...you provided no details. Further, depending solely on BB Protect is unwise IMHO...refer to the Backup link in my auto-sig for "best practice" backup information.
SusannaIsabella wrote:

Given the limited detail you've provided, nope...no clue why it happened.
SusannaIsabella wrote:

Every computing device carries risk, some more than others. Any reasonable person using any computing device would very quickly seek out proper recommendations to properly protect the invaluable data that is stored on the commodity device.

Spend a little time reading posts here and you'll find plenty of examples exactly like yours...it is not at all a unique situation. The key is not preventing it from happening, but rather protecting your data so that you do not lose anything when/if it happens.
Good luck!

No photos on icloud! help! lost all baby photos.

hello, i've been paying £28 a year to icloud for extra storage thinking that i would store my photos as they are precious ones of my babies first year.
i managed to lose my phone and wasn't able to recover it so bought a new handset and plugged it in thinking all my photos would come back. they didn't.
so i thought it might be that i had to go onto icloud to see them and manually bring them back (by dragging or updating or something) i've just been on icloud for the first time properly and i don't have a photo icon. have i lost all my precious photos forever? or are they somewhere else i don't know about. forgive me for asking but i'm a bit of a technophobe and hoping someone can help me. thank you.
ps the phone i had was a 4s and i now have a 4.

I cloud does only backup photos and videos of your camera roll (see also: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4859). So if you had your photos only stored in the camera roll and made a backup, then you could recover them if you reset your device and choose to restore it from an existing backup. If you also used Photo Stream, then probably some of your photos could also be recovered by turning on Photo Stream again (Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream) > Then check your Photo Stream by opening the photos app.

Urgent! Please help! Lost all my fonts and can't print!

Hi folks,
I have suddenly lost all my fonts from Illustrator (not from PhotoShop or other Adobe products) and now I can't print from Illustrator to any of my printers either. I'm on a windows machine, which I'm not too used to as I'm a mac user most of the time and I've tried to both repair and reinstall - neither of which worked - it reinstalled but has the same problems.
Any ideas folks?
Preferences were set to default when I re-installed illustrator and I'm on XP if that makes a difference.
Any helpers out there?
Thanks in advance.
Dara

The best technique we fid on the mac if you want to restore the settings when deleting corrupt preferences is to launch AI and use it after you have it cleaned up or better after a fresh install. arrange all your workspaces and panels shortcuts etc. then copy the settings folder to a safe place and always use that after trashing the settings folder. No harm in giving yourself a fresh start.
One of the reason's for this is recently someone wrote that they had to trash the settings folder three times before they got things back to normal.
Reason for that is that computers often overwrite but do not completely erase what they overwrite and three times usually insures a good replacement of data. Also on a mac and I believe on a pc there is a similar file there is a file call com.adobe.illustrator.plist which can be corrupt as well also in the user preferences so you sometimes have to trash that as well.
Also sometimes it is a question of the cache files, settings, font cache and application support files that are corrupt singularly or together.
Also I am not certain that moving it to one location and back is a good idea on a pc it is fine on a Mac usually.
Also often the corruption is such we have been told by support to not only trash this folder but to empty the trash as well.
So that is what I know about this issue.

Help! Lost all iPhoto organized photos

HELP!!! I have iPhoto version 9.6 on a MacBook Pro (Late 2012) running on OS Yosemite version 10.10.2.
I have been organizing my photo events in iPhoto. After completing the task, I left my computer for a few minutes and now all the photo events and names are not organized. There are fewer photos showing now and all the organized events now appear as one big event. Ugh!!!! Is there a way to recover all that work? I'm at a loss.

Where did you cut from? The Finder for from within iPhoto? If it was from the Finder you've damaged the library. If from within iPhoto apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
To copy your Photos easily to the Desktop in the same order as they are in Events use the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with the settings shown in this screenshot:
Then drag the folders to the EHB drive.

Please Help! Lost all Desktop Icons, Finder won't open & Cant shut off iMac

Hi Mac Users,
I need some serious help please and thank you --- my iMac with Mac OS X 10.5.6 has lost all its desktop icons, I can't open my finder (i've tried relaunching and rebooting my computer, which won't even do a hard shut off). I can open apps on my dock and that is about it.
I did read in another discussion to delete the preference file, but I can't get access to the library?!? And I also read to try doing a disk repair from the install disk and when I insert the disk into my iMac I don't get a pop-up window asking what i'd like to do and since the finder does not open I have to way to even start the disk up to attempt to do a disk repair????
Any suggestions/recommendations are greatly appreciated.
Sincerly,
desperate iMac kt1611

When you tried to do a disk repair from the instal disk, did you actually boot from the instal disk? You should.
Have you read the manual that came with your iMac and followed the appropriate steps?
