I lost all of my photos after downloading the update! Please help!!

My entire iphoto library is empty; all my photos (thousands of my child's first two years) are gone - this happened after I downloaded the new update last night. Has this happened to anyone else?  Please tell me you know how I can get them back!?

Just in case you don't see my responses before I sign off....
That Masters folder should have all of your pictures...the actual files...assuming you've used iPhoto all along and are letting it manage the photo locations.  I'd suggest copying that folder elsewhere.   Better yet just copy the whole "iPhoto Library" thing.
After that check out this document:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2638
That shows how to run iPhoto to repair the library.  Worst case if that doesnt work is to create a new library and reimport your photos from the copy you made.  You'll lose all of the tags, etc. you might have put on photos but the most important part...the actual photos...should be good.

    Hello mom_5_01,
    The following article should be quite beneficial in your endeavor to update your iPad.
    iPad: Unable to update or restore
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4097
    You may encounter the following symptoms while updating or restoring your iPad:
    iPad continually restarts but never displays the Home screen.
    An update or restore did not complete and the iPad is no longer recognized in iTunes.
    iPad stops responding, showing the Apple logo with no progress bar or a stopped progress bar, for over ten minutes.
    If this occurs, you can place iPad into recovery mode and attempt to restore again. If iTunes displayed an alert with an error code, see this article before attempting the steps outlined here.
    Cheers,

    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? I suspect Mac because of the name your error.
    Please read the following Adobe document with the details and fix for error U44M1P7
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: 12.1 Update Released
    Specifically open the following link in the above

    Why do I have two icons for iMovie '11 after downloading the update from the App Store?  Previously I had iMovie '09.

    Do you see two versions of iMovie in your Application folder?
    You can drag the icons out of the dock and then drag what you want back to the dock from the Application folder.

    Don't worry about it, if you don't know what it is, chances are that you don't know how to unlock it. Have you try the basic, a different USB port and/or cable? Have you disabled your antivirus and firewall before running PCC?

    You may have to restore your iPad using Recovery mode, but try a reset first. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Let go of the buttons when you see the logo. This takes about 10-15 seconds.
    IF the update will not complete or you see the connect to iTunes message on the screen, you have to restore your iPad.

  • I still cannot get firefox to boot up after downloading the update. Get message that I must restart the computer. Unable to delete the program so I can download the program again. Same message comes up.

    firefox message comes up every time I try to get on the interner with firefox. I received an email about two weeks ago from Mozilla advising me to download the updated firefox program. I have not been able to get to firefox since. I have tried to delete mozilla from my computer and get the message that I must reboot the system. I get the same message when I try to get on the internet with firefox. STATEMENT IS "Your computer must be restarted to complete previous upgrade of Firefox."

    Try to run the Firefox program once as Administrator (right-click firefox.exe: Run as Administrator).
    If that doesn't solve the problem then remove the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) to do a clean reinstall.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Trying to update MacBook Pro, OS X. Yosemite from 10.10.2 to 10.10.3 (Recovery Update 1.0). After downloading the update, the Mac flips to automatically restarts and launches "Software UpdateLauncher." The Mac doesn't respond to any command.

    Once I download the update (OS X Yosemite, 10.10.3, Recovery Update 1.0), after the system automatically restarts, the launch page is "Software Update Launcher." Looks like a typical menu bar, and the rest of the screen is blank. None of the commands work, though. Even trying to shut down via the menu doesn't work, and the only way to get past the page is a hard shutdown and restart. Once restarting, everything works as it should EXCEPT the update did not install.
    This same thing happened with the previous Yosemite update, and I wound up taking the laptop to the Genius bar where no one was familiar with the error. After running virtually every diagnostic, removing a suspected out of date security application (Intego), the decision was to restore the Mac to factory pristine state. OUCH.
    We have a MacBook Air, which has the same OS version and security and other third party software as the Pro, and it has not experienced this problem.
    I've made another appointment at the Genius Bar, but I sure as heck don't relish the idea of having to wipe my Pro clean again and having to start all over. Time Machine backups are great, but they don't restore my system as though nothing happened.
    Any suggestions or proven remedies??
    Thanks.

    Another thing that is probably relevant now that I think of it:
    I forgot that the xcode_3.2.6_and_ios_sdk_4.3.dmg file would not open on it's own. It would get all the way through the verification process and then display "invalid checksum". I had selected Skip to bypass the verification process in the hopes that it would install anyways. Just ejected it and tried to verify it again, same "invalid checksum" error.
    I've looked for solutions online and everybody just says to keep downloading it/have a wired connection and to use Safari... I've downloaded the thing 5 times now meeting both of those requirements and the exact same issue occurs every time.
