Iphoto froze when downloading update, have lost all pictures. Can I retrieve?
I'm being told to re-download iphoto from ilife - but won't this mean I have lost all my valued pictures? Why does downloading new updates cause so many problems? When I tried to update my iphone to IoS5 it froze the phone and I lost all my contacts, messages and info. Unbelievably I then couldn't retrieve from my backup as it demanded a password and, despite hundreds of attempts to input it, I was told by Apple tech support that there are big problems with iphone backup passwords. They admitted that they can't help with passwords as the Mac and iphone generate new passwords every time you charge your phone on another machine that not your own. HEEEELP.
1 - reloading iPhoto does not affect your photos - they are in teh iPhoto library
2 - even if you have a problem you surely always have a good backup - if you don't you are guaranteed to lost your photos and all other files sooner or later
3 - If you have iphone and IOS 5 questions teh iPhone forum is a great place to ask
You question is not clear and rambles so I am not sure if this really answers it or not - if it does not please ask a specific question about iPhoto including details of errors you get

Did a retore to unlock my ipod but i have lost all pictures. Can i recover them
I did a restore on my ipod, but i seemed to have lost my pictures.
can i retrieve them?Photos
- If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
- Maybe via How to perform iPad recovery for photos, videos

If i have lost my iphone can i retrieve my pics and messages using icloud
if i have lost my iphone can i retrieve my pics and contacts using icloud?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Contacts should already be at iCloud.com if you have already set up iCloud sync services. Photos in Photostream can be viewed on a computer using the same iCloud account, but not at iCloud.com.
If you haven't already set up iCloud on your phone you won't be able to do so now you have lost it. -
When Firefox updated, I lost all my BOOKMARKS besides my toolbar. Can't express how unhappy bar
When Firefox updated, I lost the toolbar including the link for bookmarks. When I "searched" for Bookmarks it said I had none.
A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

i erased alol my settings now i Dont know how to get my iphone4 to work it just has a pic with a usb cord pointing towards a itunes logo what do i do??? please help
When was the last time you did a backup with iTunes? If your latest backup has all of the material you have been using you can recover by connecting to the computer you sync with and restore the content via iTunes. Attach to your computer, open iTunes and do a backup restore.

I have lost all sound - can anyone help?
I am just starting out with logic and was clicking around. I now have no sound coming out of the speakers. Volume is on and other programmes have sound and also i can see that the tracks in logic are registering. What it might be is that every time i open logic it asks me for a password to an airplay device, could the sound be trying to come through that? How can i disable that feature?
Any help is appreciated.Problem solved. The output was switched to airply not the device......D'oh!

Pages quit, lost all work, can I retrieve?
I hit delete to get rid of a text box and Pages quit. Everything I had been working on for four hours was lost. Is there anyway to retrieve the work?
mvh,
I guess there's no really kind way to say this, except to add that it happens a lot. You shouldn't ever work for 4 hours on something without saving every 10 minutes or so. What operating system are you using? Since 10.5, we've had Time Machine, but even that requires that you Save once in a while. 10.7 adds Versions to further safeguard your work, but you must save at least once at the beginning.
Good luck,

After the last update of itunes I seem to have lost all the music that I had downloaded from my Cds. It was a lot of music! All I still have is the music that I had purchased in the itunes store. And before you asked. No, I did not have a backup. Never got around to do it.
Does anyone of you have an idea if and how I can maybe get my music back?
Your help is very much appreciated. Would it help if I recover my computer from an earlier date?? I am not even sure if I make sense here.Hi - I seem to have a similar problem. I was prompted to update to iPhoto 11 yesterday (don't know why yesterday, I'm in iPhoto all the time). So I followed the instructions, library updated, all existing events and albums are there. I uploaded some more pictures and created a few new albums and did some new year spring cleaning, moving stuff around etc. And I started making a calendar.
I've opened it up today, my calendar is still there as are all the new events, but the pictures are empty outlines. If I open up a picture I just get the "!" but I can still see the thumbnails showing in the slider in the bottom - I don't know if that means the source files must still be there somewhere, or if it just means it captured thumbnails yesterday.
I've gone into it via "show package contents" and there just don't seem to be any masters for an upload yesterday. I also just had a look in the last import folder, because of a comment from someone above. As I scrolled down through the folder the images were there and literally disappeared in front of me - by which I mean, the thumbnails were there as I scrolled down and then would turn into empty outlines...!
All my old folders are still there, thankfully (although they're of course the ones that are also all safely back up).
Although I have a timecapsule, my photo library is too big to keep on my hard drive, so I keep it on an external drive - so it only gets backed up when I do it manually (thanks Apple for that, I will never understand why it was designed to work - or not work - that way). So if the pictures have been lost then they are gone for good which is super-frustrating (I just got back from South Korea and was in the middle of sorting out all my shots from that trip). It seems that this can only have happened because of the update - I should have known better than to have pressed yes.
If you have any ideas, I'd be most grateful!
Regards

Hi, I just updated my mac from version10.6 to 10.9.3 os mavericks. i went to open iPhoto and it says "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade." does this mean I have lost all photos i had in there? It does not give me a choice, it just says quit or upgrade? p.s. i didn't realise ther was a way to back up my computer beforehand, which i am guessing this is time machine?
1. No, you haven't.
2. Back up the iPhoto library(this can be done through Time Machine or by dragging it to a drive, partition, or disk image formatted as Mac OS Extended) and then click Upgrade.
3. Aside from Time Machine and drag-copying items from your home folder, programs such as the Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Cloner, and SuperDuper can make backups.

When I imported my photos from iPhoto to Aperture, I appear to have lost all my keywords. Can I retrieve them and, if so, how?
How did you import them?
Keywords are preserved if you use either the Import iPhoto Library or Show iPhoto Browser methods.
