IPhoto imported photos off of my camera and then deleted the photos from the camera. Within a few minutes, I dropped my safe on the power strip and it shut off the computer and now the photos seem to be missing. Any ideas how to restore them?

Does anyone know where they might have gone? The irony is that I was about to back them up onto an external hard drive...

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - 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. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

You DID move them to trash? (we can discuss WHY once we cure you)...
Can you open a window in finder and get to applications and then to utilities? Is MAIL in there?
And your "office email account"-- do you mean physical office, like place of work and you want that account in your mac mail on your computer? ~OR~ do you mean, microsoft office,mail account?
The difference is necessary to know...

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Select "/var/log/install.log" from the file list. Post the messages from the last installation attempt, starting from the time when you launched the Installer or Software Update. Post the log text, please, not a screenshot.
If there are runs of runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.

Using Lion. Stamped a project with metadata and all the first pictures in a stack are now square when they were not before. Any ideas how to get them back to their original shape?

I created the metadata for a project and lifted the metadata, hit Command A to select over 1000 photos and stamed the entire project. It rated all the pics with 3 stars and made them all square. Clearly not my intent. Can't seem to undo. Any ideas?

Let's start with this: do they all show that they have a Crop adjustment applied?
Are they square in both the Browser and the Viewer?

I have an photo album on my ipad that I cannot seem to remove. Any ideas how I can do this?

I have had my iPad connected to my iMac trying to remove it using iPhoto but I stil can't seem to get it off my iPad. Anyone got any ideas how I can as its chucking up my iPad and I want it off.!

If the tunes have DRM and they are not from your iTS account then you will need to have the password of the account that purchased the tunes. If the tunes have no DRM then you should be able to play the tunes with no problem.

I accidentally reset my iPod and lost all of my pics and videos. Any ideas how to get them back?

I accidentally reset my iPod and lost all of my pics and videos. Does anyone know how to restore them?

All you can do is restore from backup if yu have one. If you backed up to iTunes make sure that autosyncing is turned off. Otherwise when you connect the iPod to the computer the backup with you data might be overwritten. To turn off go to iTunes>Preferences>Devicesand check the box that says "Prevent iPods...".

IPhoto won't read any of my portrait photos, only the landscape ones. They only show up as black portraits and I already erased them off my memory card. Any idea how to retrieve them or fix the problem?

I am using a 16 GB Sandisk Extreme Pro SD Card with a Canon EOS 60D camera and my files are saved as .raw on the memory card. I imported all my photos into iPhoto and then clicked the 'delete photos', as I always do after I imported by pictures, but when I went through my pictures I saw some black rectangles. It appears that all my portrait-orientated photos are just black whereas my landscape photos are perfectly fine. My portrait potos did turn up on my camera screen when I checked them through as I took them but now they're gone. Any idea if this is a software problem with iPhoto, an error with my memory card or even my camera? I've experienced this problem a bunch of times and it's really starting to annoy me that I'm losing all my photos.

What version of iPhoto?
Select one and rotate it. Then rotate it back. Does that make it appear?
A much better work flow is the keep the photos after importing. Check the success the import, wait for at least one successful backup cycle then use you camera's format command to reformat the card

HT4061 I just updated my iPhone and now it's frozen with the white apple showing. It won't even let me shut it off. Any idea how to restore it?

Does anyone know how to restore it?

Try a hard reset. Press the power button on top of the phone and the home button simultaneously. Hold them both for about a minute and hopefully the screen will cut off and then the apple will reappear and proceed to the setup screen.
