Help - recovery of photos needed!!

Well, my iMac was screwed up with a lot of extra accounts that I made when I was screwing up the "migration". My local Mac shop (independent guys) cleaned everything up, fixed the mess, and left me with my iMac running in the orginal state. They backed up the entire system to a "Former System" folder, which includes the original install of Aperture, and my first 2,000 photos.
When I went to start up Aperture once they'd fixed everything, Aperture told me that it needed to be re-installed, that it was missing critical files, etc. I did a complete re-install, including the serial number, etc. and it starts working just fine. Here's the problem:
My first 2,000 files are in a Library in the "Former System" folder, and the current Aperture program from the current system doesn't recognize any of those files. I'd like to know how to recover the 2,000 images, and place them in my current Aperture Library, and move the current Aperture library onto my external "Storage" drive.

It's unlikely your files are in the "former system" folder. If you do an archive and install, that folder is created, but it is the system folders only -- it is not your home (user) folder.
Nevertheless, if you used a managed library and somehow it got balled up in that directory, go find it (I have no idea where it might be, again, because home directories never go there automatically), copy it to your ~/Pictures directory, and double-click on it. That will start up Aperture and set it as the default library.

HELP recovery of files needed!!!

I deleted about 79 pictures of something that is not possible to do again, they were stored in:
/home/WIBBLE/.Desktop/Develop
I know for sure that they are all jpg files.
Is there any software I can run to scan for jpg files etc and recover them?

Are you really running Windows 98? I sure hope not. :S
I have noticed a few others with the same problem the past couple of weeks. Many of them were able to resolve the issue by doing a low level reformat of the iPod's flash storage using the instructions in this article.

Freezing, or crashing?
ID on the Mac can produce reports that may (or may not) prove helpful in diagnosing the problem. I suspect this is something not directly related to InDesign, and maybe not to any of the Adobe apps directly since you seem to be having a problem in more than one. That often inidcates a problem at the system level.
Nevertheless, it won't hurt to try to gather the reports. You'll find driections for how to generate them, and to post them on Pastebin.com (then put a link to them here) so we can see what's going on at Adobe Forums: InDesign CS5.5 Not Responding

The camera roll is not part of the sync process at all.
You should be importing these photos to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera. Youc an organize them on your computer and sync the to the iphone if you wish.
The photos sync from the computer to the iphone is one way.
The iphone mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.

Are you able to start in Recovery mode ?. OS X: About OS X Recovery
If so, then after the language choice screen, click Utilities at the top of the screen & choose Terminal.
Once Terminal opens, type resetpassword then press the enter key.
Choose your user from the list & follow the prompts to create a new password. Then restart the computer normally.
This won't allow you to update app store apps which the previous owner bought, but will let you install new software.
Ideally, you'd erase the HD & reinstall OS X yourself : you may be able to do that from Internet Recovery, but may need original install DVDs,
which Apple will usually supply for a small charge, if you call them with the serial number.

You really need to provide a lot more information. Also, it would be better to ask in the appropriate Photoshop forum.

Is it possible to recovery lost photos that have been overwritten?

I uploaded some pictures and my camera saw that the folder i was uploading was the same as the one on my desktop so it was starting to overwrite new pictures into the old folder. I stopped it in the very beginning but it had erased the old photos, the folder is now empty. Is there anyway to recover them? Any programs i can use? suggestions please.

I just downloaded version 7.1.1 and my phone is stuck on a screen showing me to plug phone into computer and go to iTunes. When I do this, iTunes says my phone is in recovery and I need to do a hard restore. Doing this, it says it will go back to factory

how can I keep my data doing a hard recovery on my phone? I uploaded newest version and phone is stuck on a screen telling me to plug phone into computer and go to iTunes, when I do this, iTunes says my phone is in recovery and I need to restore, Can anyone please help me get my phone back without losing anything?

You shouldn't have to restore your phone to keep your data. But first press home and on button at the same time until phone shows up Apple logo an boots up normally. When the phone comes back on plug into ituens and back it up by selecting "Back Up Now". Once backed up, you can press update and install 7.1.1 and it will restore and recover all your previously backed up data. You can also press "update" and itunes will automtically back up the phoen and install 7.1.1.
