IPhoto Gone Missing

Wanted to find a photo on my MacBook Pro. When I tried to launch iPhoto from the dock, nothing happened. When I checked the LaunchPad, I could not find the app. I appear to have my Photo Library file. I checked Time Capsule and cannot find it in the Application backups. Does anyone have any suggestions? The last things I did was to install an app called iStudiez and connect to an Apple TV. This is causing me great concern. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

look in your Applications folder - is the iPhoto application there?
If so then double click on it to launch and in the DOCK right click i and select "eep in dock"
If it is not in your applications folder then
reinstall from the original source
Could be
1 - the restore disks that came with the computer
or
2 - the iLife DVD that you purchased
or
3 - the app store - log in under the Apple id used to purchase the software or to set up the computer - look under purchases - you might have to unhide or accept the Application first

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Iphoto is missing and I don't know where it went.

My iphoto is missing from my computer. I went to click on it tonight and it had a question mark on it and would not open. I couldn't find it in my applications. My husband has been using my macbook some but he promises he hasn't messed with it. Where could it have gone. I don't see how I could of deleted that program. It has so many treasured pictures in it. I'm a fool since I have never set up the time machine (never figured that out to do it) and didn't back them up otherwise besides a few.
Can someone help me figure this out!!
Thanks,
Jenn

Your pictures are most likely "not gone". They should still be in Users/username/Pictures/iPhoto Library.
As far as iPhoto is concerned. You can re-install it from the discs that came with your computer.

On my Mac, in Documents folders A-G have gone missing. When I try to access the backup in time machine, it won't let me go back at all. This is a major problem and I have no idea what happened or how to fix it!

All folders up to "H" have gone missing and for some reason when I go into Time Machine, I'm not able to access any of the backups. It won't let me select any of the screens behind the current one and when I click on the right hand side on any of the dates listed, nothing happens. I really need to get this fixed. Any help????

I don't know what will help at this point. You should never update a system that has problems, unless you're absolutely sure that the problems are caused by a bug that is fixed in the update. With your backups in an uncertain state, you should not update or do anything else except start a new backup.

Did your restore you phone from an older backup? Sounds like you did and it wipe all your current data.
Did you fail to import your pics to your computer? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

My 3D And Analysis menus have gone missing in my PS CS4 Extended

Hopefully this is the correct place to post this. I have PS CS4 Extended version, and I had the 3D and Analysis menus like it's supposed to have, and now for some reason, they have gone missing, they are not there in my top menu items anymore, there are 9 there now instead of 11, I just noticed this recently, and when I open the program, on the splash screen, it just says Adobe Photoshop CS4, and not Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended like it used to, is there any explanation for this? I have it installed on my laptop, which is a hp dv6 1360us, and it does have the proper hardware to handle 3D and the sort and there have been no changes to that, so that really can't be the issue. I do remember using ccleaner about a week or 2 ago to clean up my computer and in doing so I accidently removed a few files that had photoshop in the filename, registry files, so could I possibly have messed up my photoshop by removing those files? I don't really know. I did a system restore, and got those files back, and I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling my version of photoshop, and I still have the same problem. If anyone could possibly help me sort this out it would be awesome and I'd really appreciate it.

Was this a 30 day trial download of PS CS4 extended and maybe you purchased, from Adobe, PS CS4 (not extended) serial number and entered that?
the serial number that is entered determines if PS CS4 is Extended or not.
I would contact Adobe Customer service. There is nothing anybody can do on here with a serial number problem.

Why has my purchased music gone missing

Hi i recently synced my iphone 4 and realised that most of my music has gone missing. After usiing itunes the same day I was trying to play tracks in my library and got a message saying orignal file could not be found. As I looked through the list of tracks I could not play I realised it was all the music I had purchased from itunes that was unable to be played. I do use a shared computer so I cannot say if any changes were made but have been sharing the computer for 2 years now and nothing like this has happened before.

Delete the songs and redownload them:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Hope this helps.

My iphoto is missing - Help!

Up until a few days ago, I used iphoto with no problems. When I tried to open iphoto tonight, it would not open. I noticed that a question mark (?) appeared on top of the icon. I also noticed a new icon on the desktop call "Preview". I have never seen this icon before. When i tried to move the iphoto icon it dissappeared off the desktop, but "Preview" remain. I went to Applications and iphoto is missing from the list of application icons.
What do I do?

Hi Terrence,
You said, "That question mark means that your iPhoto got moved and the dock can't find it." How does that happen?
Yes, I am new to macs so I get nervous when weird things happen - like files disappearing.
No I haven't explored the tutorials yet, thanks for providing the link. I'll check it out - I'm just impatient.
Well, I am off to attempt the re-install of iphoto. Wish me luck!

Has anyone else encountered a situation where images suddenly gone missing?

i've had files suddenly gone missing on me several times. i was so sure that this might be a bug but now i think it's user error. at least my error.
a few times i wanted to delete one image and then found that several other images disappeared on me. here i realize that i forgot to deselect all of the other images before deleting the one image i intend to delete.
another time for some unexplained reason, so it seemed, several images disappeared on me. poof! i couldn't find them anywhere, but i didn't think to look in the Rejected library. later on i realize that i've pressed the zero key by mistake while the images were selected. the zero key rejects the images and placed them in the Rejected library. i've found some of my missing images in this library. phew!
for those of you who have some missing images, and haven't taken a look inside your Rejected library, take a look and maybe you'll find some of your missing images in there.
dual 2.7 ghz powerpc g5 Mac OS X (10.4.6) 8 gb ram, xt800 card.

You might just need to clear your search by selecting
the "x" in the search field.
Not quite the same as going into the search field and changing the rating slider and selection to show only deleted as by just clearing the search field does not change the slider rating and you'll still not see the rejected files.

Drag and drop operation resulted in files gone missing

I would really appreciate some help as I have lost about 80 files. Here's what happened: I had a big folder of several hundred files and I was moving those files– photographs – into subfolders.I selected the photo in bridge and then used a drag and drop method to move it. It all went well except in two instances. One group of photos I dragged it to the wrong folder but when I searched I found them. Another group has gone missing. I have searched the whole computer for names of some of the photos in the missing group.it is as if they vanished into thin air. What could have possibly happened?
Thanks in advance!

I selected the photo in bridge and then used a drag and drop method to move it. It all went well except in two instances.
I always use the drag and drop method and if it goes wrong I usually are to fast and don't wait for Bridge to have completed or I did not point to the correct folder.
Without knowing what system you are on and what version of bridge you are using I agree with Curt that the files must be somewhere on your system (also check the Bin) and you better use a dedicated system search for it.
And what is "group.it"? If I do a google search it stops without result and group.it also has not understandable or related results?

Bluetooth Gone Missing

Some way or another, bluetooth has gone missing from my System Preferences pane. I restarted my computer a few days ago and noticed that it was gone. In the past I have used the OS X installation CD and Pacifist to fix problems like this but I'm not sure what file I should install or if this is even the solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello,
Is it a mouse you are pairing with the MacBook? And can you see the Bluetooth icon in the Status Menu Bar???
Probably a good time to check the boot disk for errors just in case.
Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
Select your disk, and click First Aid.
Click Verify Disk.
If the disk needs repairs, do one of the following:
Insert your Mac OS X Install disc in your computer’s optical drive or an optical drive connected to your computer, and then restart your computer. When you hear the startup tone, hold down the C key until you see the progress indicator, which looks like a spinning gear.
Follow the onscreen instructions until the menu bar appears with the Utilities menu in it, choose Utilities > Disk Utility, click First Aid, and then click Repair Disk.
Restart your computer using Remote Install Mac OS X. Follow the onscreen instructions until the menu bar appears with the Utilities menu in it, choose Utilities > Disk Utility, click First Aid, and then click Repair Disk.
Checking a hard disk to see if it’s going to fail
You can check the health of your hard disk by checking its Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.) status in Disk Utility. Most disk drives include S.M.A.R.T. hardware. Developed by IBM, S.M.A.R.T. hardware allows hard disks to test themselves for potential problems.
To check your hard disk’s S.M.A.R.T. status:
Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.Select the disk in the list at the left, and look at the bottom of the window for a field named “S.M.A.R.T. Status.”
Is it a mouse you are pairing with the MacBook?
