I lost tons of metadata (pin/map locations for places visited) on aperture after days of work entering it (over 400 locations visited). any ideas how to recover it? i can't find it anywhere.

What happened before the data were lost? Did Aperture crash?

  • How do you recovery lost files? (Didn't put it in the trash..just disappeared after cleaning comp)

    Hi,
    Yesterday, I was on the internet and a window popped-up saying that another peripheral device was connected to my computer. It froze the internet and then a few seconds later it was ok. I then decided to clean my computer of the unnecessary files and pictures, etc. In Finder, under the Tabs "Today", "Yesterday", "Last week"...etc. I found pictures in the section all images that did not belong to me. When I clicked on the pictures, my computer froze and another window popped saying "connecting to server". I could not restart my computer. I then did force quit Finder and it was ok after that. I restarted my computer and the Word Files from my desktop were all gone (not that I had that many but one was really important). The other things I had on my desktop were Files and they are still there. I also put that file that I need in my dropbox and it is also gone from there...
    If anyone could tell me if it is possible to recovery these word files or not? And if my computer has been hacked or something like that...
    Thank you..

    We can't tell if your machine was compromised or not.
    If you have the DropBox online service than that would explain the "connecting to server" issue because that's what it is, a online server.
    When the All Pictures did a search, it also did your DropBox.
    Wthout a local backup you can't recover your deleted files.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    How do I securely delete data from the machine?
    Secure erase data on a Solid State Drive?

  • Updated to iOS 7.1 and my location arrow won't turn off. It used to. Any ideas?

    Updated to iOS 7.1 and my location arrow won't turn off. It used to. Any ideas? Help would be appreciated!

    Check in Settings > Privacy > Location Services to see which apps are using Location Services. Turn off those you don't want or need.
    Also be sure to close apps you are not using by double=tapping the Home button and swiping apps up.

  • I set up a new PIN to lock my screen for security.  Now I can't unlock it.  Any ideas how to undo this and get my phone open?

    I set up a new PIN to lock my screen for security.  Now I can't unlock it.  Any idea how to undo this so I can use my phone again?

    Someone else had replied with that same remedy and if that's all it takes, no worries. However, it is tellig me that after 10 unsuccessful tries it will reset my phone back to zero and I lose everything...pictures, emails, texts,etc. Is this true or not...do you know? Thanks.

  • Sharing Pinned "Maps" Location in Aperture

    Has anyone figured out a way to "share" a pinned location in Maps to Aperture?  I know that Aperture uses Apple maps for locating a photo but if I've pinned the location in the Maps application either in OS X or on an iOS device it would be nice if it automatically showed up in Aperture's map location view.

    I don't know of any easy and automatic way to get the map locations from the Maps.app to Aperture.
    What I am doing, to extract the locations from the Maps.app, is to use the Information panel of the dropped pin to share the location by email.
    The email will contain a contacts card. If you open this contacts card in Contacts.app, you will see the address and a map query url. The URL contains the latitude and longitude.
    You can enter these coordinates into the "Manage  My Places" search field in Aperture, and the "Additional Results" panel in Aperture will take you to the place on Aperture's Places map.
    Then create a new place from there - that is a rather involved work-around.
    Tha Contacts will not let you copy the coordinates directly from the link. I open the vcard simply in TextEdit, to be able to copy and paste the latitude and longitude.

  • Power Map Locations for Canadian Postal Codes showing incorrectly

    I see great potential in the possibilities of using Power Map. However the location for one Canadian postal code is showing incorrectly on the resulting map. I have verified that the postal code itself is correct and my data has been entered correctly and
    it is below:
    N6K 0B3
    It is showing nowhere near where it is supposed to be. Users of the application have to have confidence that the mapping behind it is correct. I need to create maps for each poll for volunteers to retrieve
    the signs post-election and don't want to send them to the wrong locations.
    By the way, why is my font size changing if I modify the text in my post?
    Thanks,
    Lila

    Ahh Geolocations are fun, aren't they!
    Bing maps is showing N6K 0B3 as just south west of London, ON. Google maps shows it north of there, West of London. If Bing is not correct, you'd need to request a fix from Bing/Microsoft.
    While you wait for that, you'd have to create your own kludge to correct it:
    CASE WHEN postcode = 'N6K 0B3' THEN geography::Point(-81.437296,43.0041629,4326) ELSE bingsGeospatial as geoPoint
    I was in talks with Canada Post regarding acquiring their geo location data for post codes a while ago. You can get a product from them for about 7500 a year. I was rather disappointed to find they only provided points, and not bounding boxes (as google
    maps does).

  • OWB-Location for Sybase is defined through database link but not working.

    Hi,
    HS details are configured and database link from oracle to sybase database is working fine. In OWB, table list of sybase database is also displayed. Location defined for sybase database through connector which refers to database link created from oracle to sybase. While defining location on clicking of "Test" it gives result as successful. But when validation program is run for that location, it gives error that validation failed, specify correct host name, port number etc.. now, i am not able to solve this as database link is working fine and it is displaying list of table from sybase database. All the heterogeneous settings are done. I tried but sybase database doesn't allow direct connectivity so i define the location using connector which points to database link. Is there any thing missing in the setting of HS and do sybase allow connectivity direct from owb ?
    Please help.
    (If problem is not clear, please spare time to ask a question, i will reply immediately.)
    With Regards,
    Amit Shah.

    Amit - did you get anywhere on this?

  • Since updating to 10.6.8 my VPN has lost the connection after 30 minutes. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I updated to 10.6.8 and now my VPN connection is unstable. It has lost the connection to the host after 30 minutes on three different occasions. Before updating, I was able to be connected for hours with no interruption.
    The error reads: "A configuration error occurred. Verify your settings and try reconnecting."
    Adding to the problem is that the problem only corrects itself after I restart my computer.
    Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a fix I should be looking for?
    Thanks!

    I'm sorry I didn't post back earlier, I haven't been using my VPN lately. However, today, I did use it for hours and the problem persisted exactly as explained. I did some more searching and found the following solution on a similar thread. Worked like a charm:
    the vpn daemon has to be restarted. after that it works perfectly.
    1. Open Terminal
    2. Unload the VPN daemon using the following command (for those who don't know, don't include the % sign when typing in Terminal):
    % sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.racoon.plist
    Note: After you type the command in, Terminal will give you a warning and ask you if you want to continue. Enter your password and continue.
    3. Reload the VPN daemon in Terminal (again, not typing the % sign) :
    % sudo launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.racoon.plist
    That should do it! Thank you to everyone who tried to help me. Hopefully this helps others out there...
    P.S. For those that are unfamiliar with terminal. When you type in the commands, that's not a hard return in there before the path /System/Library... etc. The line break is just because the path is too long to fit on that line.
    See the other person's VPN problem thread here:

  • When using Craigslist I keep getting this error: Warning! Domain mapping upgrade for this domain not found. Nothing I do works to fix this.

    When I use Craigslist, my personal list of things being sold, and I try and renew my listings, I periodically get this: "Warning! Domain mapping upgrade for this domain not found. Please log in and go to the Domains Upgrades page of your blog to use this domain." Usually rebooting my computer makes it go away for a short time, but today that isn't working and following the commands on the warning doesn't work either...is this truly a firefox issue? How do I fix it.

  • I lost a file.  It still appears in my "Recents" but I can't open it.  Any ideas.

    Please help.  I just spent 4 hours creating a keynote.  I saved it a few times, but now it is seemingly lost.

    Thanks man, I eventually found it. When I was saving it for a 3rd time, my new MacBook Pro froze. For what ever reason after I quit the application bc it was non responsive, my file was moved into a folder in my trash can. I have a onetoone next week and will bring up my concern about this with them. Thanks again.

  • Hi. When I tried to download updates for my Iphone 3G I lost all my music on my iphone and I can't find it anywhere on itunes. Any ideas please?

    I just can't seem to find all the music I bought on itunes since I downloaded updates for my iphone today. I followed the suggestions in the support area, but it's still a mystery where it's gone. Any ideas please?
    Thanks

    I take it you didn't transfer purchases BEFORE you attempted to update your phone?  If that's the case and you live in the US you can look at your purchase history and re-download the purchased music using iTunes. If you're outside the US, you're out of luck.
