Just dowloaded new iphoto 11 and found out all my photos are gone. I really need help to get them back!!!
I just downloaded today the new iphoto and after installing it i discovered i lost all my photos. this is the first time i have ever had problems with my mac and i am not sure what to do. I have been an apple customer for a very long time and it's hard to believe that they would do such a thing where you lose all your photos. i am very dissapointed but i hope there is a way i can recover my photos from the old iphoto. i have not deleted any pictures and unfortunately have not backed them up on an external hard drive. please tell me there is a way i can recover my photos. they were very VERY special to me and my family.
one very sad and dissapointed apple customer...
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Help I lost all my photos and contacts when I updated phone
You mean you chose to restore your iPhone with iTunes on a different computer than is used to sync the iPhone.
Restore your iPhone with iTunes on your computer - with iTunes on the correct computer that has been used to sync the iPhone. -
My computer crash and i got a new Hard Drive. I synced my Ipod to my Itunes and then lost all my photos that were on my ipod. I do not know if my cloud backed it up. Is there any way i can get my pictures back??????
- If the photos were synced to the iPod they are gone
- If they were taken by or saved to the iPod gp to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and look at the date/time of the iPod backup. If it is when you synced then restoring from backup should get the photos back.
- If you had turned on Settings>iCloud>PhotoStream, then set up PhotoStream on the computer and get the last 30 days of photos from PhotoStream. You should also be able to get them back by simply turning one Photostream on the restored iPod. -
My iPhone was stolen and I have lost all my photos as some were over 30 days old. Is there anyway I can get these back as they were on iCloud originally but i didn't put them onto my pc! :o( please can somebody help me get these back.
Unfortunately iCloud only stores photos for 30 days, to give all your devices a chance to download them. After this period they are deleted from Photo Stream and can not be retrieved.

I just created a new iPhoto library with holding the option key down and then opening iPhoto with version 7.1.5. I changed the name of the first library to iPhoto library 1 and now I all my photos are gone. My operating system is Mavericks.
launch iPhoto wile holding down the option key and select the original library - when you create a new library of course it is empty
And you seriously need to backup your iPhoto library and purchase and install iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x from the App store and download and run the iPhoto library upgraded \then run the new iPhoto - 7.1.5 is not fully compatible with Mavericks

PS you also need to update your profile - it states that you have OS X 10.6.8 -
I just got a 5s and had taken some pictures. Then I plugged it into my PC and set it up using my previous backup from my iPhone 4. Now the pictures I had taken are gone, is there any way to get them back?!
Sorry no as you wipe the current data when you restore from your backup.

I just upgraded to iTunes 11 and lost the contents of most of my playlists. How do I get them back?
I lost most of my playlists. Is there a way to get them back without downgrading to iTunes 10.7?
You don't. You buy one and only one download. it is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
Use you backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases -
hi, i took tons of pics on my ipod touch and the last couple of months i didnt update the photos using the icloud due to missing icloud space and forgot to actually purchase for more space . Now my ipod got stolen and wondering if there is anything the pics could be restored somehow? any help is greatly appreciated
RosaIf they aren't backed up to iCloud or iTunes, and you didn't import them to your computer, there's no way to get them back.

I sync'd it yesterday and today, then when updating it today its restored to factory settings and all apps, photos and texts have gone. looked in the i tunes library and in windows explorer (tells me last sync was 3 months ago!) to no avail. now when i try to restore it on itunes a box appears with there was an interruption with restore then a new box with the message restore error. any help greatly appreciated
"Any hope?"
There was if you used any of the backup strategies you listed in your first sentence. iTunes functions as the backup software for your iOS device. MobileMe similarly aacts as a backup if you need to restore your phone.
Since you chose to work without a safety net, it would seem you have lost all the contacts. That was a risk level you were comfortable enough with. The important take away here is that all computers need to be backed up. And there is more computer in your iPhone than the computers that flew a space ship to the moon. -
I just upgraded to Acrobat XI and found that my custom STAMPS are missing.
I just upgraded to Acrobat XI and found that my custom STAMPS are missing. Anyone know how to pull them in from the last version?
Macintosh.
thanksi'm on a mac and when i search for any of those terms [Annotations, Stamps, ENU] it comes up empty. however, search on a mac is horrible....often doesn't search random folders....really bad.
i've given up and just recreated them.
of course i had an extra hour with nothing to do so that was time wisely spent
thanks much for getting back to me.

I opened iPhoto today and found I had NO PHOTOS in the library. After a day of reading, I seem to have found them. However, panic does not begin to describe my emotions. They continued to come up on the screen saver, so I knew they were in the computer somewhere. What I don't understand is what happened?? I am now busy backing them up into my external hard drive, again, but just now including the ones from about August 2011 to now. I don't back up often enough, but thank gosh I haven't lost them all. My question is this: What is the best way to get them back into iPhoto? I have an old version of iPhoto and I was prompted to update to '08, which I thought I had and BOOM - all the photos were gone when I said "no". I have lost all my albums and wonder what it will look like if I put them back in? They were found in the iPhoto Data folder. I looked it up in iPhoto Help.
They were found in the iPhoto Data folder.
These are not your Photos. They are just the thumbnails that show in the iPhoto Window. They are tiny and not useful for anything. Look for your photos in the Originals Folder.
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'. Are any Libraries listed?

How do I add external speakers to my new HP Pavilion with Windows 7 64 bit system?
It seems like it would be self-explanatory to me. You attach speakers where the green male end is into the green female part in the back. Laughing, I try this and it doesn't work again. I try add device again, yet to no avail I end up here. WTF? Can
