Help I've lost all of my events in iPhoto...

Hi,
I had all of my photo's organized into events and then for some reason they've all merged into one and I cannot get them back to how they were.
Is there anyway to revert back to how it was or do I have go through and organize them all again???
Any help most appreciated....
Thanks

"Hmmm. I would have thought it was. That's exactly what professional IT people do when they have an issue like this. It's a very professional step. Seems to me the major FAIL is here:"
So do you actually enjoy troll through forums to waste everyone's time? Or do you just have no life? How is use your backup a professional answer? Is it because all of the IT guys have such a high IQ that they are inadequate of engaging in a human conversation?
"Do you actually think there's a computer system somewhere where that advice doesn't hold?"
Yes all the previous Mac OS I never had to backup before transition into newer version.

Help! I lost all the places data in iPhoto.

I tried a restore from time capsule , but it didn't help. All my pics show the same place on the map. Yesterday everything was fine. I was trying to assign the same location to a group of pics today, and somehow I assigned it to the whole library! Every pic shows the same location in the bottom right corner when you open them up. The date it was taken is still good. I figure the geodata is still good? Is there a way to reassign the places?

No idea sinc I have no idea how you actually did this
Things to try
In the iPhoto preferences is look up places set to automatically?
you can try Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your database although this does not sound like library corruption
try restoring a slghtly older backup - be sre the one you are restoring is prior to the problem occuting

I backed up my entire photo collection to a flashdrive, when it finished my photo's got all grouped together and I lost all titles of events. can you help? thanks

I backed up my entire photo collection to a flashdrive.. After they downloaded, all my photo's got grouped together, and I lost all my individule events and titles of pictures.. Is there a way to get back my groups and titles? Thanks

To back up everything you must backup everything - ie back up the entire iPhoto library as a single entity
And it must be on a volume formatted Mac OS extended (journaled). Flash drives typically are not. They usually are a FAT format which will not work
Exactly how did you do the backup and what format is your flash drive

I updated my iPhone 5c to iOS8 and lost all my calendar events. How can I get them back?

I updated my IPhone 5C to iOS8 and lost all my calendar events. How can I get them back? I had it saved to the cloud but then changed it because I did not want to save everything to the cloud. I changed it back and still don't have any events.

Are they still listed on your device when you go to Settings>iCloud>Storage>Numbers? If so, they should still be in iCloud but you may need to contact support to find out why the Numbers app isn't able to access them: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.

Try a hard reset:- hold the home button AND the power switch - ignore the red "Slide to power off" and wait ubntil the iPhone powers down, and then restarts - at the Apple logo, release all the buttons and see if your contacts reappear.

Your music will only be where you put it.
Did you copy all of your music from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one?

Only possible if you have made an iTune or iCloud backup before the update.

Lost all my calendar events on Ipad. Seems to coinside with deleting my Hotmail address

Lost all my calendar events on Ipad. Seems to coincide with deleting my Hotmail address. Is this possible?

I would try adding your Hotmail calendar back in and then seeing if all of your events show up. You can check the events to see which calendar they are assigned to.

I lost all my Photo's in IPHOTO

Hello,
I lost all my Photo's in IPHOTO today
I will try to outline what I have done. Some months ago I took old photograph-files of my windows computer by means of an external hard disk. Afterwards I had the following experience: each time that I started Iphoto I received a note "13 photos have been found in the iPhoto Library that were not imported." Then it tells me "The photos have been placed in a folder. The folder is stored in my file/images/library/no..... it counts up every day. Today it reached no. 56. I tried to throw away all that garbage. By means of finder I have gone to the images/library and saw those 56 items listed there. I wanted them all thrown away at the same time. I have slid them then all 56 in each other, then you hear a sound of 'plik' every time and when done I dragged to the dustbin. As I returned to Iphoto, everything was empty 244 folders with over 28,000 photo' s. The files are all grey. If I select a photo then I get a light grey screen with !-sign. What remaine are the file-names and the numbering of the 28,000 photo's. So I have 28,000 grey screens but without the photo's that correspond with them.
I tried to import Photo's with the Iphoto- archive-import button from the library in finder. But there were only the 56 files with the 13 photo's that could'nt be opened every time I started Iphoto.
I already tried to restore it by finder, but the photo's are not listed there.
I'am desperate. I hope that someone can help me.

FileSalvage will only find image files. You won't be able to recover your library as it was previously.
The Originals folder will be inside the iPhoto Library package. You can open the package like this. Look inside the Originals folder and it's subfolders for your image files. If they are not there then continue with FileSalvage. If you find that your image files are still inside their subfolders you can partially recreate your library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
In the future NEVER go inside the iPhoto LIbrary package from the finder and consider using the tip at the end of my signature below.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

On my iPhone's calendar, the " " sign is gray and won't let me add events. Plus I've lost all my future events. Help?

My iPhone's Calendar's "+" sign is gray and I cannot add events. Plus I've lost All future events. Help?

I think you also played with the contrast setting.
Go to Settings>General>Accessibility>Increse contrast.
Turn it off.
Voila.

Upgraded to Photo on MacBook Pro and lost all of the EVENTS I had in prior version

Upgraded to Photo on MacBook and Lost all the Events in my prior iPhoto library How do I get them back?

Upgraded to Photo on MacBook and Lost all the Events in my prior iPhoto library How do I get them back?
There are no events at all in Photos. The Library is no longer partitioned into events, it is split into Moments, and the Moments are created automatically based on the date and the location, if a locations available. You have no control at all over the partitioning of the library - Photos is doing that for you.
The folder "iPhoto Events" does not contain events, it has new albums. For each of the previous events an album has been created. But these are really albums and will not behave like events at all. And if you import new photos, they will show in the "Last Import" album, but no album will be created for this new import.
Any structuring you want to do in your library will have to be based on albums or smart albums. Use keywords to tag your photos, so you can create smart albums.

HELP I've lost ALL my photos!

Please can somebody help me. I don't know what's happened but I opened iPhoto today while I had some other photo files on the desktop and when iPhoto opened it didn't have a single photo in it. The file names are still there but there is no memory being used. I've since found that they're there in the pictures file under iPhoto Library but I can't get them to go back into iPhoto and can only open them as tiny photos with preview. I have also found another file called Library.iPhoto which is only 1.1mb but I don't think it's where the pictures are. The other weird thing is that the iPhoto Library is 7.09GB - I don't have that muh memory on my computer let alone in the photos I've stored. I'm also not technical so I might need talking through this. Thanks Siouxie

Help!! Lost all my applications and can't find them

Help lost all my applications!! Click on an app and all I get is a question mark come up. All my data is their but my application folder is empty. Checked to see if I have maybe dragged it to another folder and can't find it also checked trash. Tried to install using DVD but says disc not recognised

You said; "Tried to install using DVD but says disc not recognised"
Exactly what do you mean by that statement?
When you say disc are you referring to the hard drive in your Mac or the DVD?
If the DVD says it can't find the hard drive in your Mac then most likely your hard drive has died and must be replaced. I hope you have a backup.

HELP - I've lost all my Calendar data, most of my Notes, and other issues

In priority order:
1. Sometime in the last two days my iPhone 4S, with IOS 7.0.4, lost all my Calendar data except birthdays from Contacts.
2. Most of my Notes are lost except those from PC.
WRT the above, iPad data is still intact.
3. IOS 7.0.4 crashes apps A LOT! Even Apple apps.
4. IOS 7.0.4 is slow.

Resolved items 1 & 2 by rebooting the phone. I am happy that it resolved, but it shouldn't have happened n the first place.

Downloaded new software ios5 and now I lost all my calendar events. How do I get them back?, downloaded new software ios5 and now I lost all my calendar events. How do I get them back?

I downloaded the new software ios5 the other day. Woke up this morning and all my calendar events are gone! How do I get everything back??

Plug in your iPhone. Restore it. If it asks you if you want to back it up say no. When the restoring is done, without plugging in your iPhone, you should get an option to restore your iPhone from a back up or a new iPhone option. Restore it from your back up. It has nothing to do with iCloud but I recommend you set up an iCloud account to avoid loosing stuff like your contacts. And it's free.
