IPhoto deletes city/state/country geotags! Any way to recover?

Hi,
It seems like iPhoto deletes some geotagging-specific EXIF tags when creating a "modified" version of a picture! (Steps to reproduce appear below.)
Is there any way to go through and restore the "original version's" geography-related EXIF tags to the "modified version" for all photos in my library? (For example, does Automator have access to the EXIF tags?)
Thanks!
To reproduce the bug:
1. Take a photograph. Use a 3rd party program -- I use HoudahGeo -- to add geographic information to the photo's EXIF tags. Insert data into the City, Province, and Country fields.
2. In Finder, click on the photo and hit command-i. Note that the city, province, and country data appears in the "More Info" panel of the "Get Info" window.
3. Import the file into iPhoto.
4. Note that dragging the file out of iPhoto and then repeating step 2 yields the same result, as it should.
5. Enhance or otherwise edit the photo in iPhoto.
6. Note that if you repeat step 4 -- i.e. drag the file out of iPhoto and then hit command-i --, the city, province, and country data is missing.

Hi,
I'm not sure that I fully understand the difference between these two types of metadata.
If I open the original picture in Graphic Converter and view the EXIFTool readout, I see these tags repeated three times:
-Once under the "IPTC" heading
-Once under the "XMP-iptcExt" heading
-Once under the "XMP-photoshop" heading
If I open the "modified" version, the city, province, and state tags are missing from all three places.
(I'm assuming that since it's EXIFTool telling me this data that these are indeed EXIF tags, but hopefully, the above should clarify what I'm talking about.)

Deleted home directory from XRAID any way to recover?

Hi
Hope someone maybe able to help me with this issue which is causing me great agony at the moment.
We had storage issues on our Apple XRAID and on the RAID it stored approx 700 user home folders. There were under a folder called 'home directories'. A lot of these areas where fairly sizable so we were advised that we can run a command in terminal which can clear the trash folders in a users home directory.
This would certainly help clear some of the unnecessary space that was being taken up.
So in terminal a command was run:
rm - R -v /Volumes/RAID/Homedirectories/*/.Trash
We were told that the last statement would have interrogated each user home folder and deleted the trash folder.
We found though that whilst this command worked and deleted the trash, it also deleted all user home folders and everything within these folders.
I have a massive dilemma now as all the work is lost and our backup software wasn't working at the same time so I not able to do a restore. I was using RetroSpect 8.
I have tried various undelete software to interrogate the RAID and see if it can recover files. I have used:
Stella Phoenix, Rstudio for Mac and Disk Warrior.
These programs have not been able to recover anything.
I was going to use a freeware tool called TestDisk and photorec buts its going to take about 3 days for it to run on the XRAID as its 3tb in size.
Does anyone think I could try something else to help me find the accidently deleted data. With the rm commands that have been run is there any way to recover from it from an XRAID.
I have found some other software cannot see the XRAID. Does anyone know of other software which has been successful?
Thank you

Since this issue and through the countless data recovery methods used. I am concerned that the disks will have gone through **** with intensive interrogation of that disks.
Am I just being anal or do I have a genuine reason to be slightly worried.
I am going to put a bid to my seniors about maybe purchasing a new storage device to replace the XRAID and maybe use the XRAID for just backup/archival purposes.
What suggestions do users have with other Storage Arrays? I ideally want something where I can at least have about 5tb but with the option to grow and I want to be able to use both the XRAID and the new storage device in conjunction. Could I possibly have a replication between the new storage array and the XRAID?
Which devices out there would be an ideal replacement for the Apple XRAID that others recommend?
United Digital Hyperstar
ACTIVE RAID ES (From the developers of the original XRAID)
Promise vTrak E-CLASS
Am I right in saying that I would replace the existing fibre channel card in the Xserve with a new 4 port 4Gb card. so I can attach 2 ports of the existing Xserve RAID and the other 2 ports to the a new storage device.
My plan would be to use RAID5 for redundancy, any benefits of using some other RAID such as 1+0 or RAID50?
Thanks

IPhoto import from iPod Touch disappeared, any way to recover?

I imported photos from our 5 gen iPod Touch into iPhoto, and, as it was getting pretty full, selected the delete photos after import option. iPhoto crashed during the delete. We reopened it and there are no photos imported, but iPhoto did manage to delete about half of our iPod's photos before crashing. I would hope that iPhoto wouldn't be deleting photos off my iPod until it had actually imported the files...but they are no where to be found. Any ideas?
My OS is Mavericks, and we have iPhoto '09, version 8.1.2. I've tried rebuilding the iPhoto library, but it makes no difference.

Like I said I have my ipod set to sync manually and even with that setting it is still showing some "itunes purchased" albums on my ipod album list. They are not synced though because when you go to play them it shows them as not downloaded.

Keyframes deleted after exporting selection. Any way to recover?

Hey folks,
It looks like I may have been burned by the autosave feature. This evening I went into an old flash file to grab some stills that I could pull into an illustrator file via export selection. I didn't remove any frames from the timeline while I was working, but I did notice that the file autosaved a handful of times. When I went back into the file again later to export another graphic, I noticed that a handful of layers had suddenly lost their keyframes. The frames affected were all in graphics. This is a project I'm somewhat far removed from now, so I'm not planning to spend the time to go back and redraw everything that's missing, but it really irks me that this stuff disappeared when I went into the program to do some pretty non-invasive editing.
So my question is, before this gets too far away, is there a way to revert the autosaved file to an earlier version (even imperfectly or incompletely just to find the missing chunks and manually reinsert them into current document). Is there anywhere that missing frames have been known to show up? There's an entry for today in the swf history that says "swf size increased over 50%," in case that is helpful to know.
First time here, so let's hope I'm doing this by the books:
Adobe Flash Professional CS 6, 12.0.0.481
Windows 7
HP laptop, nothing too fancy here.
64bit operating system
6 gb ram
Intel Core i5-2439M cpu @ 2.4 GHz
Thanks!

Try right-clicking on the file and select "Properties." See if you have a "Previous Versions" tab. Whether you do depends on how your computer is set up. If that's there, you may be able to recover the file.
For future reference, both Git and SVN allow you to create local repositories, so version control doesn't need to be elaborate.

Re installed os x but iPhoto, iMovie and garage band missing. any way to recover the apps?

anyway to recover my those apps? or my only option is to buy them?

The installer discs that shipped with your Mac should have a restore installer for installing them, if you didn't buy them originally from the App Store. If you did buy them from the App Store, you may be able to ask them to be rereleased for download from http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact.html?form=account&topic=MacAp pStoreAccountandBilling
If you bought the machine from a non-Apple authorized source, ask them to call AppleCare for the original discs to be sent to you. Otherwise call AppleCare yourself for the original discs:

Hi, I would like to know how can I recover a document from pages that I didn't save anytime and instead of clicking the button save I clicked the delete button at the end. Is there any way to recover it?

Hi, I would like to know how can I recover a document from pages that I didn't save anytime and instead of saving the doc I clicked the delete button. Is there any way to recover it?

Regardless of application, the first step that I take is to save and name the current document — even if it has no content yet. With Pages, this good habit enables autosave. As you add content, your document revision history is restorable via the File Revert To menu. The delete key has the same document foreboding as only teaching a pet raven to speak "Nevermore."

I have deleted my iPhoto library by mistake. Is there any way to recover it? My trash has been deleted and it is not in there.

Help! I have deleted my iphoto library. Is there any way to recover it? It is not in my trash as I emptied that.

If you really moved it to the Trash and emptied the Trash, your best option is to restore the iPhoto library from your backup.
But if you did not actually trash the library and it is just missing, search for it with Find Any File as described by Old Toad in this post: Re: iPhoto Library is missing. What do I do?
If you don't have a backup and cannot find the library, you will need to buy recovery software to find the photos, but that will not restore the library.

Iphoto deleted all my masters, any way to recover them? PLEASE HELP!!

Iphoto deleted all my masters and I cant seem to find them, is there any way to recover them? Iphoto 11 version. The only pictures that are left are some previews and some thumbnails.

Try the following:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
If that fails continue with:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Any way to recover deleted iphoto pictures or are they anywhere stil on my mac?

any way to recover deleted iphoto pictures or are they anywhere stil on my mac?

When you delete anything it's not gone. The OS marks the space it occupies as available for overwriting, but until that overwriting occurs it can be recovered. But... the software used to recover is expensive. For instance
File Salvage

Is there any way to recover photos you have deleted from iphoto trash?????

Is there any way to recover photos you have deleted from iphoto trash;ie emptied trash..

Depends on the version of iPhoto - some details would help us help you
If you have iPhoto '11 then the photos go from the iPhoto trash to the system trash and you can recover them there and import backinto iPhoto
Otherwise you you are looking at data recovery software like file salvage http://subrosasoft.com/software/filesalvage or a data recovery service
