HT3509 I lost my photo library in Aperture, any ideas?

I lost my photos in Aperture and have no idea how to find them. Can anyone help with my dilema?

One day all of a sudden, I lost all of my photos in aperture, the program still seems to be functioning though. I think that I was looking at photos on an external hard drive and when I tried to import, everything disapperared.

Lost all my pictures in Aperture, any idea where they're hiding?

Any ideas on how to find missing pictures on my Imac in Aperture?

What system, what OS and what version of Aperture? How many disks are on the system? Is the library on the internal or an external disk?
Make sure all external disks are attached, turned on and mounted then:
Open Aperture. Select File->Switch to Library->Other/New
A window will open in which Aperture will list all the libraries it finds on the disks attached to the system. While it is searching a spinning disk will appear at the bottom of the window. Let it run until that stops.
Look in the list, are other libraries listed? Is one possibly the one with the missing images?

I have imported my I photo library into Aperture. all the old i photo events are now in the aperture library showing number of photos but when clicked none display. I can see the photos if i run the cursor over the project. Help please.

I imported my i photo library into aperture.
I can see the i photo events in aperture library as events with the number of photos in each event.
When you click events in the aperture library no photos appear although if you roll the cursor over the event icon it show the photos. If you click on the event either on the event icon or in the library no photos appear.

Check, if you have any filters set. The search fields in the Insector panel and the browser should be showing "All items" or "Showing All".
The Browser search field could be set for each project and album individually, so you have to check it for each project.

For example: The projects count shows "20 items", but the browser is empty, because the project's filter is set to show only rejected items.

I'm running iPhoto '08 on an eMac G4 using OS 10.5.8 and have lost my photo library. Any ideas to help me "find" it--I know it is on the disk?

I'm running iPhoto '08 on an eMac G4 using OS 10.5.8 and have lost my photo library. Any ideas as to how to find it and /or rebuild it? I know it is there on my disk.

However, in pictures there seems to be a complete set of my photos(?).
I'm don't understand what you're saying here.
In the iphoto window I somehow managed to open a type of "photo library" that includes every photo I've every downloaded on my computer in multiple and entirely random order.
This can happen if someone inadvertently drags the HD icon or even the home folder icon to iPhoto Window. The best soluion for that is to restore from your back up.

I imported about 300 RAW images yesterday and worked with them for about an hour. iPhoto locked up on me and I rebooted. After I did the event icon is now gray and it says there are no photos. I know the photos are there. Any idea how I can recover them?

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
Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

Hi bjl1767,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The tips in this article can help with locating your music files:

If the music is in the iTunes Media folder on your computer, but not in your library, the iTunes library might need to be re-created:

HT1399 problem with playlist sync of ipod nano 3rd gen will sync new pieces of music but it won't sync a new playlist I added and it has "lost" one I had before. Any ideas why?

Since I got the last update of itunes, my 3rd gen will sync new pieces of music but it won't sync a new playlist I created and it has "lost" one I had before. Any ideas why and what I can do to cure the problem?

if you have done restores then possibly it is a firmware issue... i would take it to the apple store if you can to get it looked at...

I lost entire photo library in iPhoto. How do I retrieve the lost library?

I went to open iPhoto only to find my entire photo library was gone. I have no idea how this has happened. I backed up my photos on an external hard drive but cannot access them that way. I keep getting a message saying it's a backed up version and I have to hit "option" while I open iPhoto. That is not working either. How can I find these lost photos?

What kind of backup of your library do you have? If it is aTime Machine backup, see this document:
iPhoto '11: Restoring from Time Machine with iPhoto '11 (9.2 or later) and OS X Lion 10.7.2 (or later) - Apple Support
I went to open iPhoto only to find my entire photo library was gone. I have no idea how this has happened.
What did you do, before this happened? Have you been updating or upgrading software? Moved your iPhoto Library to a new location on external drives?
Have there been crashes? which version of iPhoto or MacOS X do you have?

I've lost my photo library and iPhoto pictures & i want to get them back

i deleted photobooth & iphoto from my pictures folder. now when i open photo booth & iphoto it says it cannot locate my photo library and i have no pictures. i want my pics back help!

re: ''Still, my inbox now displays only the emails on the server; these are proper synchronised.''
As you have 'synchronised' the folder, I assume you use an IMAP mail account.
Please confirm that you use IMAP or Pop.
IMAP mail accounts see a remote view of the subscribed folders that are on the server.
So if your webmail account only shows eg: 10 emails in Inbox and in Thunderbird you only see those 10 emails in the account Inbox then nothing is wrong in that they are the same.
Are you saying that the emails were deleted off the server, so that they are also deleted in thunderbird?
check: Tools > Activity manager
Does it say any anything about deleting loads of emails?
Do you know if compacting occured?
One possibility:
Your Inbox folder was corrupted and then the folder was compacted either manually or automatically.
It removed all 'marked as deleted; emails, but as the folder was corrupted, Tb could not determine where the 'marked as deleted' email ended and therefore may have deleted good emails.
If this occured then there is no way to get them back unless you had a backup of your emails.
It is advised that you keep an Inbox for incoming new mail and move good emails into suitable folders for organising and compact the folder on a regular basis.
See info on keeping a healthy Thunderbird:

Info on compacting - what it does and why it is important:
