Help me find my lost photos....

Hi there. I use a iMac with adobe bridge and photoshop elements. Yesterday I loaded up some pics into adobe bride. They went into two seperate file folders in adobe bride. I wanted to merge the two files together so all the photos from that shoot would be together so I dragged the one file over to "pictures" in adobe bridge and instead of dropping into "pictures" it just sat above it...so I tried dragging it again and then a question mark appeared where the folder was and then it disappeared.....poof gone! I labelled the pictures "lbengagement" so I thought ok just nee to locate them in finder and move them back. I CANNOT FIND THEM ANYWHERE.......I have looked and looked and they literally seem to have disappeared. I even tried to pull it from recently opened becuase I had edited a few and I see a few of them in the list but when I click on it I cannot open it. Of course the memory card had already been erased and new pics taken over it and not to mention my external hard drive (my book live) went on the fritz this week and I am waiting for a replacement...but this happened sooo fast. I have check the trash and they are not in there...can someone help me find these lost pics somewhere on my mac? Thanks Jill

Thank you for your reply. Apologies i'm not very technologically minded. I basically backed up my iphone on my computer and then restored it. It gave me an option on my phone to 'restore as new' which i did NOT do... or another option.. can't remember what it said now but it basically put most of the data back on my phone including music, apps etc and most of my photos. However 2 or 3 albums are missing, the entire photo stream, all my notes and also most importantly all my messages which i'm really sad to have lost.
After i realised they were lost i stupidly plugged my phone back in which did an automatic sync so now the latest sync is one done after the loss of data. I read somewhere that there should be a list of back ups but i only seem to have the latest (post deletion) one.
Thanks for your response

Help me find my lost space on ipod nano

I have an ipod nano 1gb.
I have done a restore on it to clear all data, however, it now says there is only 893mb available with 337kb of "other" data...
Can anyone help me find my lost space and tell me what "other" data is and how can I remove it also...
Thanks

Bear in mind that iPod system file will eat up some space on iPod as "others".
You can try to do the following instead of just a Restore
For Window computer
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”

Help needed to recover lost photos, please!

Please help! All 49,537 photos in our iPhoto library have suddenly disappeared. A hopeful fact is that the 512 gigs they recently filled has not reappeared on Finder as available space. Might someone out there in the ether be able to help? Please?

If your profile is correct about the library and system versions apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager 3.8.6 and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
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.

How to help someone find his lost iphone

How to help a friend find his lost iphone ?
Item lost is iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1 installed.
iCloud is not set on the device, but have the imei no.

If icloud was not set of the device (and thus the "find my iphone" service was not turned on), then there's nothing you can do to find the lost device except help the friend search the house and other areas - in other words, there is no technology that can help.
Be sure the friend has contacted their carrier to have them shut down service and possibly contact the police.
Knowing the IMEI is of no help to Apple, they do not track these nor serial numbers.

Can anyone help me find my lost sms and photos?

i have recently backed up my iphone 4s, restored original settings and reinstalled my data. in the process I have lost some photos (the most important ones) and all sms. I'm gutted and have spent a lot of time unsuccessfully trying to retrieve them. Unfortunately when i plugged in my phone to my computer again after realising they'd gone my phone automatically synced again after inital sync. The only back up showing is the one after i lost the data.
is there any way i can retrieve my lost data?
Please help.

Can anyone help me find my lost layer styles and photo effects in the Effects Panel?

I am using the trial version of Photoshop Elements 9. I downloaded and tried to install a glitter style. When I went back to my workspace I had no layer styles or photo effects in the Effects panel....not one. The filters are the only ones there now. What have I done?

Quit the editor, then go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\9.0\Locale\en_US (or your location) and delete mediaDatabase.db3. When you restart the editor, give it time to rebuild the panel contents before you try to use PSE.

Please Help Me Find My Lost Library!

I have iPhoto 2 but I'm hoping someone can help me. I have an iBook G4 and I have had a lot of trouble with the libraries when they get full. I try to follow directions in Help but they don't make sense. At least today, I backed up my most recent library on a CD and at least have that because I have already lost the original. There are all of these folders with albums and different years but I am unable to pull up previous libraries. I can't believe there isn't an easier way to go back and forth between libraries. I have dragged a bunch of things to the trash that had nothing in them when I opened them but have not trashed them yet. I can't believe this has to be this difficult. I guess I tampered too much. Please can someone help me? Noel
iBook Mac OS X (10.3.5) Only have iPhoto 2 because I have dialup and takes too long to upgrade

Hi, thank you for your response. I will try your suggestion. I had two libraries. The one I just lost had 293 photos in it and I followed the instructions in the iPhoto help viewer, moving the library to another location and creating a new one. I tried to get it back and couldn't find it. At least I had burned it on a CD. The things I have in my Trash are things like Archive, Photo Library 2,3 and 4. I never had that many. Also there were 2 library folders that had 5 items in each and they were identical but whenever I go into a folder and click on an icon, it just brings up more pictures of folders with numbers on them. Maybe I need to find a Dummies book on iPhoto. I've had Macs for years but never had as much trouble as I've had with my laptopand iPhoto. The directions in the Help Viewer just don't make sense. I will get back to you after trying your suggestion. I have tried to bring back other libraries listed under Pictures in Finder but I get messages saying I need to create an application to open them. I usually don't have this much trouble but this has me stumped. Thank you, Noel

Can anyone help me find my lost project in iPhoto?

PLEASE can someone help me? I have lost my iPhoto library. I have tried searching by size with no luck. These are family photos and a year long project/book I have been working on. Back up did not work and I am desperate to find my photos and this major project. I would appreciate any help!

Your iphoto library by default is in your home/pictures folder, it is most likely simply called 'iphoto library', try a search by name and take a look in your trash.

How can I get Aperture to find my lost Photos?

Hi
In a nutshell... I'm on my 3rd iMac (2 in the last 2 months have crashed) and it has data migrated from various backups (some corrupt!), so I have a fresh iMac, with a lump of data located in various places.
Now... Opening Aperture, all my old librarys give me a message along the lines of:
Consistencies dected, please repair.
OK. No matter what I do (repair, rebuild etc), nothing seems to get rid of the message, so I decided to grab what I can and export it to a NEW library.
This works fine now (as far as I can tell).
I have 3 libraries, the next one I came to - it only displayed 10ish photos in total. The rest of the photos were APPARENT however you can't view them - just a grey outline and the photo name - as the master is offline. I presume this stems from the data being moved around everywhere?
Now, SOME images show a grey outline, however when you double click on them - you can see them!
I understand why this has happened, due to the 3 or 4 times data has been moved about etc, but is there a way to get Aperture to find the images again? Without having to go through every single photo and re-import it. I also don't want to have to do ALL the adjustments again!
I've tried reprocessing/generating previews etc, but nothing.
Please help!
Thank you
Danny

Daniel, that looks like your Aperture Libraries are referenced libraries. When you imported your images into Aperture originally, did you select to store the images inside the Aperture library or in their original location?
If your library is referenced, then it is straight forward what needs to be done: You need to reconnect your edited image versions in the Aperture Library to the master image files. Do you know where the master image files are stored? Have you restored these images from the backup as well?
If you know where these images are, then you do the following:
Open one of your Aperture libraries.
Select a set of images that need reconnecting in the browser.
Select File -> Locate referenced File from the main menu bar.
In the panel that opens select an image that need reconnecting in the upper part of the window.
In the lower part point Aperture to the location of the master image file.
Now the reconnect buttons should appear. Press "Reconnect all"
Repeat for all Libraries and other all projects.
Good Luck.
Post back, if it does not work.

Please help how to recover lost photos on 5S without backup

The initial update to iOS 8 failed and I used iTools to download the latest 8.0.2. Now my 5S goes to normal but all of the things were deleted after upgrade, especially the photos. I have to show the prototypes to my client tomorrow! How can I get the photos back ??? It's urgent! Please help !

It's sad to hear that, @Nrkpeomva1. Backup is always recommended with iOS device either with iTunes or iCloud. Then you can easily restore your lost files when needed. I am not 100% sure the following method works for you, at least you can give it a try. As I have used that method to retrive my deleted photos and ebooks successfully. A list of brief steps, more details please refer to this blog post:
Connect your iPhone to a PC or Mac (preferred).
Scan your iPhone disk with that app. Wait about an half hour for scanning.
Preview the files the app retrieved and select a local disk to store them.
Leave your comment here if there was any issue about that.

Restore the iPhone from your backup.
See this -> http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Then make sure you sync everything to your computer so you do not lose it.

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police and school
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order
Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product

Help in Finding a lost Video

About 2 years ago I bought a video from Itunes for 1.99. I accidentally dleted it from the list I was doing. I tried to get it back but it is nowhere to be found. Believe it or not it isn't in my purchased list, not in the music library I can't even find it in the recycle bin. I even looked throughtout my account history Not there. What could have happened to my video? I can't even find it in the search. The other one I accidentally deleted is till there. Any help would be appreciated. I would ahve bought it again but Itunes no longer has it. I really did buy it.

Hi,
I am in 4.6 version and dont have the facility to regex it for you.
Just wrote a sample code, if useful then use it.
DATA:lv_string(100) TYPE c.
DATA:lv_len TYPE i.
TYPES:BEGIN OF ty,
      field(100) TYPE c,
      END OF ty.
DATA:it TYPE TABLE OF ty.
FIELD-SYMBOLS:<fs> TYPE ty.
lv_string = '132, 143, "222, 144, abc", 227, 888, "222#55#ab"'.
CONDENSE lv_string NO-GAPS.
SPLIT lv_string AT '"' INTO TABLE it.
CLEAR lv_string.
LOOP AT it ASSIGNING <fs>.
IF <fs> IS INITIAL.
    delete it index sy-tabix.
    CONTINUE.
ENDIF.
lv_len = strlen( <fs> ) - 1.
IF ( <fs>+lv_len(1) CA '"' ) OR ( <fs>+lv_len(1) CA ',' ).
    <fs>+lv_len(1) = ' '.
ENDIF.
IF ( <fs>+0(1) CA '"' ) OR ( <fs>+0(1) CA ',' ).
    <fs>+0(1) = ' '.
ENDIF.
CONDENSE <fs>.
WRITE:/ <fs>.
ENDLOOP.

Where can i find my lost photos

I have recently updated to Mavericks, when I open iPhoto it prompts me to open choose a library or create a new one. When it brings up the list it is emty. I appear to have lost all of my photos and hadn't yet set up a backup. Is there any way to recover them?

Do a Spotlight search for "Library6.iPhoto". If one shows up in the search results window it can take you to the library that it is part of.
there are no such files on your hard drive you have no library on the drive and should restore your backup copy made just before the upgrade was performed.
