Recent pictures have disappeared after back up

I dragged my picture file to my LaCie external hard drive to back up all pictures. Then I dragged the contents of my picture file to the trash thinking I could open an empty iphoto and bring back all the photos. When I opened iphoto I got a warning saying that the Library would have to be rebuilt to be compatable with the new version of iphoto. Then I had a message telling me to change my read and write permissions. Finally iphoto opened again with only pictures from 2 years ago!
I haven't emptied the trash so all should be available. I have dragged everything back from the trash but my pictures don't reappear. Where are my pictures? Is there any chance of retrieving them?

Do you mean your iPhoto Library Folder? If so, that should work. IF not, then you need to explain more clearly what you did.
Then I dragged the contents of my picture file to the trash thinking I could open an empty iphoto and bring back all the photos.
What exactly are you trying to achieve? You copied your pics to the External? Then you trashed them to achieve what?
It seems that it your moving and copying that you have possibly corrupted the library database file. If so, you'll need to recreate and populate a new library.
First off: Look into the iPhoto Library Folders that you have - both on your HD and the External, and find the one that has the MOST RECENT photos in the Originals folder.
Drag that one to the desktop. Get rid of the others.
Note this will give you a working library with the same film rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library Folder to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual rolls to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
Don't erase anything or empty the trash until you're sure that all is working correctly.

The playlists I created have disappeared after updating to iOS 7.1. I have not backed up this phone to a computer - only backing up with iCloud. Is there a way to recover my playlists?

Dictation in text message = Does not work
Speaking with Siri via activated with Home button = Does not work
Speaking with Siri with "Raise to Speak' = WORKS
Voice Memos = WORKS
Speaker phone on call = WORKS
Voice control instead of Siri = WORKS
I've tried hard reset, settings reset, wiping and reloading backup...nothing. Was hoping 7.1 might offer some respite, but no dice....
I was hoping 7.1 would somehow solve it.

"On my Mac" folder including all my subfolders in Mail have disappeared after Yosemite install! HELP!

"On my Mac" folder including all my subfolders in Mail have disappeared after OS X Yosemite version 10.10.2 install! What should I do?

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
          Envelope Index
          ExternalUpdates.storedata
Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Typically, the process takes a few minutes, but it may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In that case, you may be able to speed things up by temporarily adding your home folder to the Privacy list in the Spotlight preference pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

Personal Hotspot menu disappeared after I updated my iPhone to iOS 4.3.3

Personal Hotspot menu disappeared after I updated my iPhone to iOS 4.3.3
My carrier provides tethering service and I used it often so I don't think this is from network problem.
What I remember is that after I upgrade my iPhone to iOS 4.3.3 I once activated personal hotspot function and it was hanged.
So I reboot my iPhone and the menu disappeared. Is this another bug that is from iOS 4.3.3??

What is the exact wording of the error message you received?
Has your iPhone been jailbroken or modified to work with other
than the original wireless provider?
Not wise to post IMEI or ICCID in the clear, FYI. I have asked
the hosts to edit that info in your post.

I recently moved to Australia and received a new iphone with a local AUS number. I have a backup of my US iphone in the icloud. Question: when I activate my new AUS iphone which option should I choose - new phone or restore from backup?

I recently moved to Australia and received a new iphone with a local AUS number. I have a backup of my US iphone in the icloud. Question: when I activate my new AUS iphone which option should I choose - new phone or restore from backup? I would like to have all my contacts, email, etc. however wasn't sure that option was appropriate since it is a different/new number and a new phone.

Yes, as new iPhone then restore from backup.

I recently changed from a Mac Pro to an iMac. Despite using Migration Assistant, a large chunk of my recent emails and nearly all of my wife's emails have disappeared in transit. Strangely, emails from my distant past are still there. Time Machine is no help; the messages may be on my backup disc but they're behind an invisible icon. Any ideas as to how I can get them back?

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click the text on the line below to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

ICal event have disappeared after upgrading to Lion. Please help!

After upgrading to Lion, pre-existed calendar events (Newer ones) have disappeared. How can I recover?

Greetings Alex,
If you have a backup of your computer from before you upgraded then you can restore the data from your backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553
--- Let us know if you have a backup and if so, what type it is and we can tell you how to restore your calendars.
--- If you don't have a backup, consider starting one following the article above ASAP. Anyone with information they care about on their computer should have a backup. It is a hard lesson that every computer user learns at least once.
If you do not have a backup from before you upgraded:
1. Make an iCal backup so you don't lose what you have currently: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove all files and folders that start with this phrase)
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove all files and folders that start with this phrase.)
---NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
---NOTE: To get to "Home > Library" in Lion:
4. Open iCal and see if the events you are looking for magically reappear.
If the events don't appear and you don't have a backup or have the events on another device like an iPhone or iPad then your only other option would be to use data recovery software or a data recovery company to try to get the data back (although it might be easier to just re-create the data as best you can).
Data Recovery software examples:

http://www.macintosh-data-recovery.com/
http://www.subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?main_page=product_info&products _id=1
You can contact a local Apple Authorized Provider to see if they offer data recovery services: http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service/
There are many nationwide / worldwide data recovery companies out there. Here are a few examples:

Hope that helps and best of luck to you.

WHY CAN'T I IMPORT PICTURES? MY PREVIOUS PICTURES HAVE DISAPPEARED

I can't import pictures into lightroom. All previous images (apart from some in an old file) have disappeared. Do I need to reinstall lightroom. Yesterday I had a
'reading cache' problem and lightroom wouldn't open at all. The community advised me to remove a file (ending with LRData) which I did but now I don't seem to have
and photographs. I'm just learning and this is very frustrating.

Removing the .lrdata file should not interfere with your picture files, that is where the preview files are stored. When you open Lightroom after removing this file Lightroom should realize it does not exist a recreate a new one. Your Lightroom sub-folder that contains the Catalog File and your Previews file should look like the screen capture below.
Try shutting down your computer and reboot, then start Lightroom.

Item in NOTES have disappeared after ipad update

I updated my ipad with the latest update and I just noticed that several notes I had made in the notes app have disappeared. Any way to get them back and what caused this. I will also tell you that I noticed none of my notes were transferring to my iPhone or computer the past month so I can not retrieve them there.

Hello, not sure if I'm having the same problem but it seems similar enough.
My notes were fine after upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite, but more recently after the 10.10.1 update my Notes app is not displaying any notes. I have it set up so that they are all in iCloud (and I've checked that they still are). The real problem here (for me) is that the app itself seems to be broken; I can't create any new notes, it won't sync my notes from iCloud, and can't view my settings... can't do anything, really.
I don't have a solution, but I just thought I'd add to the discussion. Hopefully it's a simple fix.

All my pictures have disappeared all that i see is gray screen with dashed boarders but picture titles are there

I am running on Lion and iphoto. My 13000 pictures seem to have disappeared except for a dashed boarder where each picture should be and the title of the photo. I use timemachine for backup but when I try to restore I get an error message saying I don't have privileges for iphoto. What should I do?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
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. .

RSS feeds have disappeared after Mavericks update

After updating to mavericks, my rss feeds in mail have disappeared?? Not sure why, hoping someone could shed some light on this for me........ thanks

RSS feeds disappeared in Mountain Lion (10.8). If you want RSS feeds, you'll need to buy an application from the App Store.

Photo Projects in Aperture Have Disappeared after upgrading to Aperture 3.2.1

I am running Aperture 3.2.1 on a MacBookPro 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 and 4GB RAM. The machine was purchased in November 2010. I have no idea what has caused this and can only guess that it was caused by the software update. I can only view 1 album that had about 12 photos and now only has 3.
I had also created several smart albums that have disappeared.
I have never been able to figure out a similar problem of projects disappearing on my G5 mac using Aperture 1.5. However, in the case of the G5, I can still see the photos in the library but not in the named project.

I can't believe the solution was that simple! I was in a different library that I may have created intially. You have saved me from dispair. Thank you.
