IPhoto quit working and lost my pics....

Today I was working on my pics that I downloaded and were located in Last Import. I was working on them and half way through when IPhoto crashed. When I got back in my pics were gone! I have searched the computer but can't find them.
I am running macbook pro 13" laptop with:
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
Running IPhoto 11 version 9.4.3
Any advice on where to find them? They are probably my best work and don't want to loose them. IPhoto has stopped before, but never lost my pics....
Thanks!

a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card -- I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos
Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

Iphoto quit unexpectedly and I lost all the pictures I downloaded

Iphoto quit unexpectedly and I lost all of the pictures I had downloaded and one I edited.
They were all gone
I had just did the major update that morning
Has anyone else been experiencing problems like this?

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

IPhoto quit working properly

I have iPhoto 5.0.4. Latley when I open iPhoto library the photos are displayed. When I go to scroll to open the photos I see that there empty spaces where photo are. When I try to scroll down further get that stupid spining ball then iPhoto quits responding and I have to force quit.
Can't work with iPhoto all now.

Hi Penhale,
Create a new library and see if iPhoto can import all the images not showing up in your library.
Close iPhoto
Rename your messed up iPhoto Library to "iPhoto Library_old"
Drag this library to your desktop
Hold down the Option key and launch iPhoto
This is the window you will get
Create a new library or choose a library to open
Choose to create a new library
Once this new empty library is open it is time to import the images from your old library
Go to File>add to library
Navigate to the old library on your desktop and choose it.
iPhoto will start importing the images from your old library
This is what to expect:
Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
Once all you images have been imported, check through the library and make sure everything looks ok.
You can now start making your Albums, and do your keywords or any other organizational steps.
You can also delete the old library on the desktop.
It is also a good time to backup this new library to CD/DVD by burning the iPhoto LIbrary folder in the Finder, or copying the iPhoto Library folder to an external drive formatted for Macs, or copying the iPhoto LIbrary folder to an iPod.
Good luck!

The camera raw button in Adobe Bridge has quit working and all my camera raw files are hidden by a c

The Camera Raw button in my Adobe Bridge has quit working and all my raw files are hidden by a cover that says PEF and has a camera raw icon on it. I can open the files in camera raw if I double click on the file but I want to see the files and be able to use the camera raw button. How can I fix it?

This means you have not the correct ACR plug in to support your PEF files or no ACR plug in installed at all.
In photoshop go to the menu Photoshop / About Plug ins / Camera Raw.
Here should be showing the version number of your ACR plug in (only 1 version should show btw)
Then go to this site and check wether your camera is listed and what minimal version you need to open the files:

I have used Firefox for over a year. For some reason it quit working and I can't seem to fix it. I uninstalled and reinstalled the download and it's still not working. When I click on the icon it says unable to connect.

Yes, if you repurchase it you may lose your progress. The exception would be a game that stored all your progress on a server under your ID
If you want to retain your progress you have two choices:
1. Don't apply the update.
2. Use your fathers account password to update the game.

HT4061 My volume quit working and volume button disappeared

my volume quit working and the volumebutton disappeared. Last night I was able to get itback briefly by following instructions from a community string. I.e lock rotation double press home and adjust on slide. However this morning, sound gone and can't getting back. The volume button is gone.

THanks. Tried to restore a couple times now. Think it's toast. Still works w/headphones. Know anything about out of warranty coverage? I dropped shortly after purchased 7 mo ago (volume worked fine until 2 days ago), so don't think limited warranty will be honored b/c of ding from drop (even though it worked after fall)

If your iPhone 4 was running iOS 5, you can't install iOS 5 on an iPhone 3G which means you can't restore the 3G from the backup of the iPhone 4 running iOS 5.
