In the last 36 hours my photos have jumbled within various albums. Random photos have attached at the end of an unrelated album, old photos have appeared again on Recently Added, some photos are missing but still on "collections". No date order

Within the last 36 hours my photo albums have turned into a real jumbled mess. Random photos have appeared at the bottom of my Recently Added album. In most cases it's a copy of a photo that was taken months or years ago so now it appears twice.. 200 random photos have appeared in an unrelated album.  Some photos are missing completely. The date order is correct in some places and then it goes back and forth over the months and years. The "collections" appears to be okay.  This morning when I went into the photo app About 50 photos that were permanently deleted 3 months ago reappeared on the Recently Added Album which  I deleted again.  if  I delete these irreplaceable photos from the unwanted album it will delete the photo completely. Help please - this is so annoying and frustrating. I hate to think when I turn the iPad on tmoor row what else will have changed .

Quick Update:
I usually have my Mac laptop up with Messages running on it.  As you know, it will receive the same messages you send/receive on your iPhone.  I thought all my old photos would be there too, but they have all disappeared as well except for the last few.
Messages is supposed to archive all old photos to  a directory called ~/Library/Messages/Attachments.  On my mac, this was a 0 byte file that was created back in Jan 2014.  As a result, none of the old photos got saved on my Messages app either.  I looked at a Time Machine Backup and it has been the case since September (no earlier backups available).  So, it's unclear how long this issue has been going on for my Messages app and how related it is to my iPhone problem.
In any case, if any of you use Messages, you may be able to recover your photos in that directory provided it didn't get trashed like mine did.  I moved the file and created a new Attachments directory.  Upon relaunch, Messages started properly storing new photos in there again.
Either there was a really terrible bug in the Apple software or something malicious has happened.
P.S.  I'm running OS 10.9.5 Mavericks.   There is a thread of people with this problem on Yosemite here:
No pictures are shown in Message om Mac
This seems like a pretty seriously terrible bug.  I will be talking again to AppleCare on Wednesday and I hope they can escalate this.

    I had to restore my iPhone, but my apps from the app store are now missing.  However, they are still backed up on my PC.  I tried synching, but no luck.  Any ideas??

  • Some contacts are missing, but I can find them with the search facility

    Hello,
    I don't know when and how it happened (maybe when I updated to 4.0), but suddenly 75% or more of my contacts disappeared from the iPhone. There is an old back-up copy in iTunes, but it is completely outdated.
    The funny thing is that if I do a serach for themissing contacts in teh Search facility of the iPhone, I find them.
    Note: Since I upgraded to 4.0, all my contacts are grouped in something called "All" (that did not exist before).
    Just for the record, I'm using an iPhone 3GS.
    Is there any way to bring back the missing contacts (which are there, somewhere, in the iPhone, because I can find them when I do a search) into the list of contacts?
    Thanks a lot,
    Daniel

    Couldn't it be that the iPhone has created a group called "All Contacts" that only contains "some" of the contacts? In that case, where would the other contacts be? If I create a new group, it will be empty. So I don't see how would moving contacts from teh "ALl Contacts" group to the new empty group could help.
    Another problem is that at first I had only the contacts I had imported from a previous cell phone. Later on, when I thought I was making a backup of these contacts with iTunes, it imported all the info from my Outlook Contacts, 95% of which I did not want in my iPhone. But anyways, that happened long before this problem (not being able to access to all the contacts from the iPhone's Phone application and having to look for them with the iPhone's search facility).

    Try rebooting your iPad and see if they reappear.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If they still do not show up, make sure hat you don't have content restrictions set that could prevent certain apps from showing up on your iPad. Settings>General>RestrictionsAllowed Content.
    if you still don't see them, connect your iPad to iTunes on your computer and you should see them in the iPad mini screens on the right side of iTunes after the iPad has been selected under "devices" and when you are in the apps pane of iTunes.

    Most likely you are suffering from a bug in iWeb that doesn't let you publish websites if an image you have added to your site begins with space. You can either search for that image and remove it.

  • Averaging over the last hour and last eight hours.

    This is fairly simple but I'm not sure what a "good" approach is. Basically I need to track how many times a user has performed an action over the last hour and last eight hours. I'll receive a notification of some sort when they perform this action and could get the current time, but I'm not sure what a fast way of determining how many times this has occurred in a given time period is.
    I was thinking perhaps an array with the time of each in milliseconds and just find the first index that was < 8 hours or < 1 hour ago and then subtract the index from the current size. I think that would be problematic though. To keep the array from continuously growing I'd have to shift everything over to the left which means an expensive arraycopy. Perhaps if I only did the resizing when there were > 20 or elements I no longer care about or something would help, but then I'd have to iterate over 20 elements I don't care about everytime it's calculated, which is once a second.
    Any algorithms that will solve this?

    Here is a method with a granularity of a minute (i.e.
    it only updates the average value every minute - you
    can change it to give whatever granularity you want)
    Keep an array with 60 elements in it. The array
    counts the number of times that the user performed
    the action each minute.
    The array in indexed modulo real time, and you make
    entries based on actual time of day. So when a user
    performs an action at 8:38:45 you increment slot 38.
    Each slot counts the number of actions that took
    place in that particular minute. When the next minute
    rolls around, you move to the next slot, set the
    value to zero (thus throwing out the events that
    happened over an hour ago, and prepare to count the
    new events)
    The sum of the entire array is of course the total
    number of events that have taken place in the last
    hour.
    You do not need to actually run through the array and
    total the events every time you want to calculate the
    average. You can use the fact that you increase the
    total by one every time you get a new event and you
    decrease the total by X everytime you zero out a slot
    that had X for its event count.
    So you can just keep a single value, Total, along
    with your array that goes up by one on every event
    and then drops back a little every minute, when you
    throw out the hour old events.That is probably a good solution to the question I posed, but I realize now I was not thorough or accurate enough in describing the context and requirements. I don't think that will work without a lot of unnecessary memory, but maybe I'm wrong.
    The user action is actually the successful completion of entering a form, a bill to be more precise. I expect this to happen 100-300 times an hour to give an idea of the frequency. Given a period of time, if they've been at it for that period of time or longer I need to find the number of bills completed in that most recent period of time. Otherwise, I need to use what is available to predict what they will reach in that period of time. In other words, if the time period is an hour I need to figure out how many bills were completed in the last hour, but if they've been going for only five minutes I need to predict what they will have completed in an hour including those last five minutes. Then I need to do the same thing for seven hours, using the last seven hours or less of data.
    I guess I'd just have to use a granularity of a minute or less and calculate how many bills over how many minutes and make a prediction on that? I suppose I was hoping for something more precise, but now that I think about it that will probably suffice.
    How would you implement it though? Create a "minute" array of size 60 initially, then when reaching the end of that array adding the total for that array to an "hourly" array (keeps track of bills in that hour) and then start over? I guess then you'd just have to add each from the hourly array to the current total and calculate based upon that. At any given time I'd have the number of bills processed in the last x hours and y minutes, which is enough to calculate how much can be completed at that rate in a given hour or seven hour day.
    I'll try this tomorrow when I get to work, thank you very much I was needlessly complicating it with timestamps. In fact, this inadvertently (or perhaps purposefully?) solves an issue with not calculating time when a user is at lunch or on break. At least I think it does.

    Master reset...? Your device was jailbroken prior to you purchasing the device. The only symbol you should see on reboot is an Apple symbol. Download redsnow... google it! Download the latest version and your IPSW (ipod restore firmware) it has to be the correct version. And the "just boot tethered" should fix your device.
    But that's only if you didnt back the device up. If you don't care about any of the data on the ipod then you can simply open itunes navigate to the device and click the restore button. This will restore the ipod firmware and install a fresh copy. Good luck let me know if you have any problems.
