How to recover lost iphoto project, how to recover lost iphoto project, how to recover lost iphoto project

I was working on an I photo book and when I returned it was gone.
Is there any where I can look to recover the book?

Books don't seem to be saved to back ups.  Photos might be, but not the hard work we put into a book.
Books are also written to your iPhoto library and backed up, when TimeMachine backs up your iPhoto Library. But that requires that iPhoto already has written the changes to the iPhoto library, when Time Machines is running. Some changes to the databases in the library may only be written when iPhoto quits. To backup the current work at a project, it is best to quit iPhoto before running Time Machine.
and when I returned it was gone.
What do you mean by "returned"? Did you quit iPhoto before you left? Or force quit? Has there been a crash? A book does not revert to its previous state on its own.

  • My Garageband project crashed, the file lost/damaged! How to recover it?

    Guys,
    I've been working my garageband project when suddenly the window was closed and the notification asked me to reopen, report or ignore it.
    This is my second time my project crashed. The first time, I chose 'reopen', and my file reopen. All the midi datas still there, but the sample sounds were empty. So I had to put it one by one. What a job because I had more than 15 instruments there.
    But those jobs was better then what I experienced today. After my project crashed, I chose 'ignore' with assumption I would open the last saved file. But it didn't. I really lost my file. The size for one GarageBand projects is about more than 1 MB. But my file after crashed is about 56 KB! So some solutions like 'right click' and 'show package content' didn't work at all because I worked with midi data, not live recording. I tried to find the script file at projectdata and compared it with my other projects, they have more bytes than my lost project file.
    So, if you have a same problem like me, just choose 'reopen'. I hope it will save your midi data so you don't have to work it out from beginning (just like I have to do after write this post ... x) )
    So guys, is there any idea how to recover my crashed file? I've sent a report to Apple and still waiting their answer.
    Thanks a lot

    Reinstalling iTunes won't ever repair damaged libraries or find lost files.
    Unlike nearly all Windows software double-clicking an iTunes Library file does not necessarily open the selected database. Rather, iTunes opens the last database it successfully opened, or if that was in the "normal" <User's Music>\iTunes location, but is missing, it will create a new empty library.
    You can open an alternate library file, or create a new one, by holding down shift as you start iTunes. Although you can open the library files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder this way, your library will perform better if you restore the archived library database to the main iTunes folder in the way that I have described.
    Your most recent library may be present in the main iTunes folder as a .tmp file, or recoverable via a file undelete tool, however either of these files, if found, may be partially corrupt getting you no further forward.
    The two most recent releases of iTunes were June 11th and March 28th 2012..
    Yes I read your post, but I don't know if you know all of the above. If you had a full backup of your library you could just restore that. It is possible that what you've tried so far hasn't yet brought back the most complete version of your library that is available to you. As a last resort you will have to work with what you have and add in whatever media is not in that version of your library, accepting the loss of recently added ratings, playlists & play counts.
    You can simply add the entire iTunes Media folder using File > Add Folder to Library folder which should ignore everything already in the library and only add new (to that database) stuff. If there is any chance that your iTunes media folder contains .m3u playlist files the import process will also import all of those, which may not be what you want. iTunes Folder Watch would then present a better approach.

  • My macbook pro crashed after installing maverick. I lost all my photos however the iPhone iPhoto app still has these photos so how can i access the package contents to recover these photos?

    My macbook pro crashed after installing maverick. I lost all my photos however the iPhone iPhoto app still has these photos so how can i access the package contents to recover these photos?

    We'll need to know more to beable to help. Do you want to try to restore your photos from your iPhone to your Mac, or try to recover the photos from the old iPhoto Library on your Mac?
    What is the situation of your Mac now? In hat way did it crash? A hardware problem with the drive? Does the system not start properly? Does iPhoto not launch? Do you still have the iPhoto Library on your mac or a backup, so we could try to rescue the photos there?
    What versions of iPhoto are on your iPhone and your Mac?
    however the iPhone iPhoto app still has these photos so how can i access the package contents to recover these photos?
    On the iPhone you cannot access the "package contents" - IOS hides the file system from the users. To restore photos from your phone share all iPhoto photos to your Camera Roll, that are not already in the Camera Roll,  and then connect the iPhone via USB and import the Camera Roll to iPhoto or Image Capture. Or use any of the other sharing methods described on thos manual page: see:  Ways to share photos http://help.apple.com/iphoto/iphone/2.0/?handbuch#blnk7d8f763e
    To retrieve photos from a corruptrd iPhoto Library on your Mac we need to know the version number and more about the "crash" you experienced, the state of your mac, the system, the data. Please post back with more details.

  • How do i recover lost events in iPhoto?

    how do i recover lost events in iPhoto?

    We need to know more to be able to help. What caused your events to be lost? What happened?

  • I have lost all my fotos in iphoto, how can i recover?

    I have lost all my fotos in iphoto, how can i recover?

    Simple and fast answer: restore from your back up.
    Other than that:
    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • How do I recover lost photos in iPhoto?

    How do I recover lost photos in iPhoto? Instead of photos I have dotted borders or, in a few cases white boxes.

    You could try rebuilding the database ...
    Launch iPhoto while holding down the Command + Option keys.
    The Photo Library First Aid window should open.
    Select:  Repair Database
    Click:  Repair
    If that doesn't help, open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist
    Click Go then move the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch iPhoto.
    If that doesn't help, copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch iPhoto.
    If you do not currently have a wawy to backup your iPhoto library, you need to do that so that you can recover your photos in the event of a hard drive problem.

  • I lost my iPhoto library on external disk so how do I recover iPhone photos to iPhoto on MacBook?

    I moved all of my photos to an external disk.  No other backup.  Big mistake. Now, how do I transfer photos on my iPhone (albums, events, faces) to my MacBook iPhoto library, which is now empty?

    It sounds like you were running a  "referenced"  library? Were you?
    Click to view full size
    If you didi and you moved the photos to the EHD you would get a "Can't find XXXXX" message when you try to view a photos.  Is that what you get?
    Are those photos still on the EHD?  You'll  have to explain in more detail exactly what you did and how you did it before we can give you any suggestions on how to get back in business.

  • How do i recover a lost project that i didnt save correctly

    how do i search auto save files to find my project? where does final cut pro save projects?

    It depends on which version of FCPX you are using. If you are using FCPX 10.1.1 then the backup files are in your Movies folder in a folder called Final Cut Pro Backups. If you are using FCPX 10.0.9 then they are in a Backups folder in the projects folder which is in your Final Cut Projects folder in Movies on your boot drive or at the root level of an external drive if you are using an external drive to store your media.

  • How do I recover lost photos from iPhoto?

    Help!!! I had all my honeymoon pistures in iphoto.  My computer started to malfunction due to a ram issue.  Long story short I "backed up" all my stuff to a western digital 250gb hard drive and re installed lion.  They are not on my external Hard Drive nor laptop anymore.  Does anyone know how I can ge these back?  Ill take any suggestions.

    Hello, thank you sooooo much for such quick replies.   Pretty much what originally happened was I was trying to make an imovie, i movie wouldnt load.  I call mac support and they deleted some sort of "plist" in imovie, that didnt do anything, so at that point, they said to re install lion.  I backed everything on to my external hard drive by doing just a drag and drop, I erased everything from the laptop hard drive (in disk utility) and re installed it.  Did not work, brought it back to apple, which we than replaced the RAM.  That fixed everything, and I now re installed everything.  When I went to bring my photos back on from my external drive.  They were not there.  Its weird because I created another user, and looked on the hard drive under the other new user account, and there is a different folder there.  Doesnt have any of my pics, but says hawaii, with data001, data002 and so on.  I am wondering if it is because I have different RAM when I saved them on the other HD ( dont think so though).  Do these recovery programs work?

  • Photos in iPhoto have lost "Places".  How do I recover them?

    I spent many hours add "Places" to our Alaska Vaction Photos.  When I went to show them to family and friends, the "Places" information had disappered.  What method can I use to recover them?

    What system and iPhoto versions are you current running?
    Did you upgrade to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.1?  Try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • I seem to have lost iphoto and iphoto library on my iMac.  How can I recover?

    iPhoto disappeared from my toolbar. I found an "iphoto library" in the trash can but it has today's date and when I access it it includes only a very limited number of my photos.
    What can I do to try to find or recover my photos?

    lets start by getting iPhoto back in the DOCK  --  launch it from the applications folder and in the DOCK right click and select keep in DOCK
    as to backup - yes you must set backups up and keep them runing - the best first backup IMHO is Time Machine, it needa an external drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) that is at least 2 1/2 times the size of your main drive
    As to your current problem - start by depressing the option key and launching iPhoto - use the select library command - what do you see? If there are multiple iPhoto libraries check one

  • Upgraded iPhoto and lost all my pictures; how do I recover them?

    I updated to the new Iphoto on August 12 and not I can't find any of the pictures I had.  I can't find them anywhere on my hard drive.  Does updating delete all your pictures?

    No, updating does not.  Within your pictures folder in your user folder, is there an iPhoto Library file?  If so, is it large?  If it is, your pictures are still there.  Try starting iPhoto while holding option and command, this will rebuild your library.  If they are not in there, go to a recent backup or TimeMachine and restore the pictures to the folder.

  • How do I recover photos lost by iPhoto. I tried using Time Machine but I get an error message saying that I don't have permission.

    IPhoto quit in the midst of importing some photos to the library.  When I reopened it, it had some events, that were imported a few days earlier, which had no photos.  They were missing.  I tried Time Machine to restore the iPhoto Library to a version made a couple of hours earlier.  But I got an error message saying that I did not have permission.  I tried restarting iPhoto while holding down the Option key and tried to access the Time Machine iPhoto Library, but that only got me a portion of the library and not the portion that was missing earlier.  When I restarted iPhoto this time, even more of my photos were missing.

    Try repairing the permissions on your Time Machine, Take a look at this link, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1452
