HELP!!! I moved my videos to an external HD and now they are gone.
I moved two movies to an external HD, and archived them. Now all the files are gone, I tried using Disc Doctor but it couldn't find the files. I'm hoping its because the demo version has a size limit of 10GB, and the files were closer to 26GB each.
I am going to be boiled alive if I can't produce these files.
Or, I'm going to get a lot of dirty looks and people will say bad things behind my back, but its still bad.
I moved the files to the external drive I use for Time Machine, there is a feature in iMovie where you can archive the original DV files. After I moved the files I created the archives, and now the only files on the drive are related to Time Machine.
I've tried 2 different programs for data recovery and nothing can find them.

My Firefox crashed with important information on it!!!
My Firefox has been crashing every day sometimes several times a day. I have emailed your staff back many times looking for a reason for the crashed without any response. I have been able to get by because I would restore the settings and continue what I was doing. WELL….this last crash has disappeared from any way of getting it back and IT HAD SOME REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT OPENED WINDOWS I WAS WORKING ON (EMPLOYMENT INFO, I AM UNEMPLOYED!) AND NOW THEY ARE GONE AND I CANNOT GET THEM BACK!! YOU NEED TO HELP ME RESTORE THAT OPEN WINDOWS FOR ME. IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT!! I NEED SOME DESPERATE HELP NOW!!
Thanks,
NickNick, sorry to hear about that. I'm not sure where you are sending the emails, but if you use the form to submit your crash information, that goes into a database for review by the developers instead of coming to the support volunteers here.
Did you try the History > Restore Previous Session command? Firefox sometimes saves form data in the session history. This data may age out, so you should use that menu item as soon as possible.
Going forward, consider installing the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lazarus-form-recovery/ Lazarus: Form Recovery] extension if you are filling long forms and Firefox is unstable.
With respect to the crashes, there are many possible reasons for Firefox to crash. Have you reviewed the help articles for diagnosis? For example: [[Firefox crashes - Troubleshoot, prevent and get help fixing crashes]]. -
Help! I put every photo in the trash and now they are unorganized
I put every photo in the trash and was not able to restore them to their original position.Thankfully, I was able to save these photos but they are now a jumble. Every photo spawned 5 or so derivatives- face photos, PM, etc. Plus, I had photos saved outside of iphoto and imported in to iphoto. Now iPhoto is full of empty squares.
What is the best (and fasted way) to get to a restored state?
Unfortunately, I have not backed up my computer for a year and a half. Can I drag photos into Masters and somehow keep the existing framework of iphoto that way it was before my terrible mistake? Should I just re-import using my back up as an intial state?
Please advise!
I appreciate the help as my sanity is in question,
SaraWhat is the best (and fasted way) to get to a restored state?
Restore your backup from before you made this user error
Unfortunately, I have not backed up my computer for a year and a half.
Very unfortuant and a really bad decision and a hard way to learn the critical nature of always haveing a current backup - Time Machine is included with every Mac - if you run it you always have hourly backups to go back to
Can I drag photos into Masters and somehow keep the existing framework of iphoto that way it was before my terrible mistake?
No
If your Masters folder is intact you can start over from scratch and get the event structure you had - drag the Masters folder to the desktop, start a new iPhoto library and drag each folder from the Masters folder to the open iPhoto window - this will recreate the events you had
and maybe if you provided some details about what you have and exactly how you recovered your photos theree is more that can be done
.Thankfully, I was able to save these photos but they are now a jumble. Every photo spawned 5 or so derivatives- face photos, PM, etc
Gives no clue about what you did or how you did it
and knowing the version of iPhoto and of the OS is good information for us too

i Just got an iPhone and I did not have icloud or iTunes yet. My photos from my previous phone were synced to my new phone and after the update they all disappeared. Please help me recover my pictures
If all you did was sync your phone, and if you haven't synced again since this happened, you can restore your phone from the backup that was created at the beginning of the sync process (camera roll photos are included in the backup). If you have synced again since this happened this backup has already been overwritten and your photos are lost. Also, if you restored your phone from the backup of your iPod, rather than just synced, then your photos are lost too.
If you have an intact backup that contains these photos, do the following:
Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences. On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
Connect your phone to your computer, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose your most recent backup to restore from.
When complete, you can go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing. -
hiu i have an ipod which shares same itunes/icloud account as my iphone. i deleted the contacts off ipod and they have now gone off my phone too. anyone help, how can iget these back on my phone?
When you share an iCloud account between devices, any action you take on one device (such as deleting contacts) is synced to the others. (That's want iCloud does; syncs data across devices, keeping the data on the devices the same.)
The only way to recover them now is to try restoring your device to your last backup, or restore them from another backup source. -
when i open iphoto i see my photo's for 1 second and then they are gone .The photo's are still there but i can see them only on the bottom or top of my screen when i try to open them i get a sign that it is not possible.Can somebody please help me?
Have you upgraded to iPhoto 9.6 for compatibility with Yosemite? If not, try that first.
It looks like iPhoto has lost the connection between the thumbnails and the original image files.
This can be caused by a corrupted iPhoto library, or the originals have been deleted or moved.
Try first to rebuild your iPhoto Library:
If you do not have a current backup of the iPhoto library, make a copy of the library, but do not overwrite any previous backup.
Launch iPhoto with the ⌥⌘-key combination (option-command) held down.
Select "rebuild" from the first aid panel. This may take a while for a large library.
Can you now see your photos again?
If not, rebuild the library with iPhoto Library manager as described by Old Toad: Re: iphoto crashed -
I bought several season of a tv series in the German Apple Store. Now they are gone due to technical problems (no backup). How do I get them back? ATTENTION: Meanwhile I moved to Switzerland and the Swiss Store doesn't offer tv series.

Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
I'll hit a few of your questions - others will have to do others since I'm not up on some of the issues you ask about
4) is there an easy way to review/delete items (in 6, i run a basic slideshow and delete on the fly -- is this still workable in 7?)?
Yes
5) Are there significant functionality benefits of 7 over 6 (e.g., does the noise function or shadow/highlight really offer significant benefits? The Events seems obvious, but I'm more interested in "under the hood" experience
Yes
Loseless editing - web galleries - events
a) Is import any faster? As my library is growing in size, the import is getting overly slow
It is fine for me (only you can compare to your current) - I have 20542 items using 26.3 GB in 271 events
7) Is there a full-screen edit mode?
yes
8) Can you configure events so that it's not just by day?
yes
9) Is 6's "roll" structure as mirrored in the file system still available in the Events approach, or is the database structure that once you've converted a library, there's no going back?
Events replace rolls (if your rolls are named - NOT the default rollxxx name - they will come across as is - to me events are rolls with much more capability and a new name - some people are VERY putoff by the change (but most love it) for reasons that I simply do not comprehend
10) What is the effective (or advised) maximum library size? I've probably got over 60GB of images in my libraries now, with 20,000 images or so. If 7 can readily digest them (and preserve all my albums, etc.), then I'd love to combine them into one, unless that will kill performance, make the database unstable, drive backups into interminable waits, etc.
The advertised max is 250,000 photos - I have about the same number of photos as you in about 1/3 the space - there are a few users here with libararies your size. With iPhoto Library Manager it is easy to maintain multiple libraries if you choose

My gamecenter id and password is hacked, and now they are using it to play my game. I already change my password, help me to get it back from the hacker, thanks
If you have already reset your Apple ID/GameCenter Password, then they no longer have access to your GameCenter account.
If they are still somehow still using your game, then contact the app developer. -
I bought iMac 27 quad core i7 last June. Last month i have noticed lots of dark patches on the screen and now they are growing more. i bought this from US but now i have moved to Kuwait. How much it cost to replace the screen?
Mac and Mac models are picky about the RAM the Mac needs to see and use.
As you have found out, the 1067 speed RAM will not work in your year and model iMac.
You need the 1333 speed RAM.
If, you can return the RAM for a refund, do it!
If not, try online Mac RAM source and seller Crucial memory. They have a table that matches your Mac to the correct and reliable RAM. You may need to contact them to see whether or not they ship to South Africa, though.
If Crucial dpesn't work out, here's the specs for your year and model iMac that you need to seek out and purchase.
Maximum Memory
32 GB (Actual) 16 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots
4 - 204-pin PC3-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
Good Luck! -

Dear Itunes Community~
This is my first time using glad you are here, but all the passwords!!
Question/Quandry:
If I already moved Itunes media folder to my external drive and now my music is not matching up in iTunes, what should I do? I have tried my solution !?, and now I have 17,000 songs, instead of 9,000!
Should I just uninstall Itunes, and then reinstall Itunes, and let it do it's thing, and then figure out how to move to the external hard drive later?
Help, I screwed it up all on my own!
Any/all help and Itunes educated suggestions appreciated!
Thank you very much,
Doris =:o
PS ~~ Is there anyway to easily delete duplicates?? Seems not?I have a very similar problem. Hope I don't confuse people trying to help us since the solutions may be different.
I had my iTunes path directed to a 2nd internal hard drive. Everything was working fine - except I found that purchased Apps were still being downloaded to the Mobile Applications folder on my main hard drive instead of the 2nd internal drive. I decided to retry directing the iTunes path to my 2nd internal drive, hoping that might get iTunes to save my Apps there. Big Mistake. Suddenly, there were no Apps showing in my iTunes Library Apps window at all. I verified the downloaded apps are still in my main hard drive's Mobile Applications folder, but I cannot get iTunes to display them in my Apps Library window anymore.
I decided to try downloading a new app and, sure enough, iTunes once again downloaded it into the very same Mobile Applications folder on my main hard drive, where all my (now orphaned) original apps are, but the only one iTunes will only display in my Apps window is the new one. I read you can redownload purchased apps, but my apps are not missing. iTunes just won't display them in the Apps window anymore. -
I moved my itunes library to external drive and now itunes wont work.
I moved my itunes library to an external drive and now itunes cannot find the library. I followed a youtube video and all seemed to work fine until i deleted the old library and emptied the trash. Prior to deleting and emptying the trash I checked preferences to verify the path of Itunes was to the external drive. It seemed to work even when I moved the original library to the trash.
Now when I launch itunes the song listings show but the songs cant be found. I checked the volume of my itunes that I moved to the external and it was about 4 GB that i moved. I have approx 2000 songs.
Any suggestions?Hold down the alt/option Key when you start iTunes a dialog box will open
Select Choose Library and select the itunes library on your external drive -
Changed name of mailbox and now subfolders are gone. Help please?
New switcher.
I set up 4 mail accounts(using mail 2.05) to handle 4 email accounts on my mac.
I had to migrate all info from PC(Outlook 2004), one folder at a time using IMAP server(drag-drop-sync). Took forever but once synced down to my mac I just moved folders to the correct location and everything was very cool.
EX: Mail arrives in 'Account A' then gets sorted via my rules to go into subfolder 1, etc...
Today i decided I didn't like the name of my primary mail folder and changed it from 'Auction' to 'Auction Cleints'. Now all my subfolder mail is gone.
By changing the folder name did some kind "path to mail folders" get lost for the subfolders? How does one fix this.
I used the IMAP system to move the mail, but am back to just going the POP route from now on, is the plan.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

I-mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3) it's whiteOK...so now I find REBUILD MAIL BOX fixes this whole issue(for now) Man I love this mac! Anyway...still interested in what happened and if there is a "Rebuild ALL amilbox" option I am missing. Thanks.

I just "successfully imported" over 300 vacation photos. It asked me if I wanted to delete them from my camera and I said yes. I've done this hundreds of times over the past several years. Afterwards, I got sidetracked looking in another photo event and then did something on my phone (unrelated) when I noticed my screen went black. I figured I needed to charge my laptop, so I got the cord and plugged it in. After restarting, I went back into iPhoto and under my events there is a thumbnail for each day from vacation, but a generic black and white picture of a palm tree and no pictures in any of the events. My last import is of the pictures I loaded before this batch. I've looked everywhere and can't find them! This has never happened before! Is there any way to find the photos and restore them to iPhoto?
Thank you so much if you can help!!!a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card -- I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos
You Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database

so i imported a few clips, i think i dragged them into imovie? i have forgotten by now because i did this a couple of weeks ago. these clips got into the "last import" in the event library. so without knowing that it would get lost somehow, i didn't put them anywhere else. i don't have a backup on another folder (because i thought it was save in the imovie folder) as it turned out, it is nowhere to be found now. there is no "last import" folder in the imovie events folder. and the yellow box that comes up when the cursor's on the warning sign says they're in the "new event" folder, but that's also nowhere to be found.
i am freaking out right now because it's a group project due this wednesday, i'm on the verge of crying.
is there anyway i can get these clips back?
i'm in the middle of scanning my trash with ulysoft data recovery. hopefully it's somewhere there.
i'm going crazy right now.
please help.Glenyse - I went to my login id and password listed in Firefox and removed
the only ones there; they were associated with photoshop.com
I then entered photoshop.com in the URL and logged in as
[email protected] and my password.
Up came adoberevel.com . It showed Tony's Albums, telling me I was logged
in as Tony. But still no albums listed.
Same problem as earlier. Suggestions?
