Lost All Aperture Slideshow Themes

I lost all my Aperture slideshow themes after upgrading to iLife '11. At first everything worked fine and I was able to access the existing and new slideshow themes in Aperture from the new iPhoto '11 upgrade (as advertised). Then it all broke. Now I have no slideshow themes (or functionality) in either Aperture or in iPhoto for that matter. I'm not sure the exact moment that this all happened but just noticed it when trying to edit a few existing slideshows. The structure and music is all there but the slideshows are blank because there are no themes at all, just blank. I repaired permissions and checked file structures, did routine maintenance. Nothing works. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Success!
I'm documenting this in case anyone else encounters the same problem. There are three files that can be found in HD>Library>Application Support. These files are: iLife, iLifeMediaBrowser, and iLifeSlideshow. They somehow got corrupted in the upgrade process to Aperture 3.1 and/or iLife '11. The thing is that trashing the corrupted files in hopes that a clean reinstall will rebuild them does NOT WORK. It simply makes shared media unavailable to any of the apps. I had to restore the files from Time Machine from a previous state.
This took an entire day of troubleshooting to figure out. I hope this helps avoid this for anyone else.

Downloaded past themes and now I've lost all 7.0 themes! Help!!

I was going through my iDVD themes menu this morning and saw some past themes I thought I'd like to try instead of one of the newer 7.0 themes. I clicked on one to download it, and now I've lost all my 7.0 themes and all I have are the old themes! How do I get the 7.0 themes back!? Help!!!

Is it possible you may have moved the themes folder to a different location?
Ref the following link/s:

Using multiple Aperture slideshow themes in one show

I had 42 photos want to create a slideshow in Aperture. Is it possible choose different theme type for those 42 photos in one slideshow. (I wish to use at list three type of theme)

The only thing you can do is make a different slideshow for each theme, export them and then put them together in a video editor like iMovie or Final Cut.

I lost all my color themes in the update from Kuler to Color CC.

When I went to use the Kuler app on my phone, I saw it is now Color CC. All of the color themes are gone! How can I retrieve them? I've logged into my Adobe acct and they are not there. Please help!

Please take a look at these steps below. Let me know if this guidance does not help.
If you have signed in to your Color (aka Kuler) app before, your themes are safe. Most likely, your themes are all synced to the Color service. Here’s how to find them:
Website: navigate to color.adobe.com and sign in. Click on the "My Themes" tab. Your colors should be showing up there. Note, at this moment in time, you cannot save themes from the color.adobe.com website directly to a library. This only works with the iOS application.
iPhone/iPad: if you aren’t seeing your themes, but you are signed in, the problem is most likely solved by switching the library you are using. You can do this by tapping the menu bar at the top of the theme gallery. From here, you will see a menu that allows you to select to either save themes to color.dobe.com or to a CC library. Your old themes are stored in the color.adobe.com option.
Desktop software: (I.e. Photoshop, Illustrator, inDesign) you can always find your colors on the Color Themes panel. This is located in Windows/Extensions/Color Themes for PS and ID. And, Windows/Color Themes for Ai. If you are looking for a color that you saved to a library from the mobile app, you can find this in Window/Library. Note, you must have the most current versions of PS, AI, and ID for this to work.
If you have never signed in to the app before, you themes are not saved. The only option you will have, at this point, is to restore your phone from a back-up via iTunes. Note, we’re working to release a new update that will allow users to carry themes forward to the updated version. And, I’m really sorry about any problems this may have caused. In this case, please send me an email directly and I'll do whatever I can to help you. [email protected]

Slideshow Themes Have All Disappeared

I lost all my iPhoto and Aperture slideshow themes after upgrading to iLife '11. At first everything worked fine and I was able to access the existing and new slideshow themes in Aperture from the new iPhoto '11 upgrade (as advertised). Then it all broke.

I repaired permissions, checked file structures, did a clean reinstall of both apps AND Snow Leopard, did every routine maintenance procedure there is. Nothing works. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Maybe there is a corrupt file that is shared by the two apps to manage slideshows? I've looked and looked, so far nothing works.

My FCP X has lost all themes generators and titles

My Final Cut Pro X Just suddenly have lost all of the themes generators and titles.
I have tried to reinstall it, and cleand with appcleaner and reinstall it, but still can't seem to get those things back.
The only visual effects that are left are the transitions.
All the audio effects are there also.
So, anyone have a clue or can help me?
Cheers

You shouldn't have used AppCleaner.
You should delete FCP X with FCSRemover ......
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
Then trash the preferences again for good measure.
Finally download and install FCP X again.
Something you could try before doing the above is creating a new user account and running FCP X from that.
Also you can open Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions.

Where can I Find More SlideShow Themes?

I have been searching the store and Google looking for more Aperture slideshow themes, can anyone point me in a direction where I can find more?

I now have the same questions for iMovie and iDVD. I am having fun and creating some very cool videos for my clients, but need a larger selection of themes for all the applications.
How about making some available in the new store? Giving a starter set and then offering more in the store would be a good $$ model.

Lost ALL DATA after OS update on MAC.

Coming back from Walt Disney World with my daughter during the holidays. Took some nice pictures with my BB Curve 8530. Once back home, try to download all the picture on my macbook using the desktop manager. Plugged my BB using the provided cable, then immediately was proposed to update my device software. So the update go on. Took a while and finally was asked to restore my data on the device, which of course I accepted. Took about a quarter of a second, then done! So unplugged the device from the computer and surprise! Nothing, Nada, Zero... All my contacts, media, email, everything was wiped very clean. I'm kind of furious.
I've done some research over several forum it append to A LOT of people. Some were lucky enough to find a backup file on there system, but nothing on mine searching with spotlight.
RIM as no right at all to erase all the data on my device. I was never warned and I never accepted the risk associated with that update.
I'm asking for a solution to get back all my data.

i'm having the same problem!
i finally got around to upgrading to IOS5 last night and also got an error whilst restoring the back up. I also assumed the date would be there.
now i've restored my phone all apps etc have returned to phone but lost all data from them, ive lost all my contacts and diary appointments etc.
Nightmare!
how do i get it back???? any help would be appreciated

When I imported my photos from iPhoto to Aperture, I appear to have lost all my keywords. Can I retrieve them and, if so, how?

How did you import them?
Keywords are preserved if you use either the Import iPhoto Library or Show iPhoto Browser methods.

I have lost all the pictures on Aperture. What can I do to get them back? I have not deleted anything. Help!!!!

I downloaded Aperture and transferred all pix from Iphoto. Everything was on Aperture. Suddenly I have lost all the pictures. I have a handbook, etc., but to no avail. Help!

When this happens to a new user the two most likely causes are:
Aperture opend a different library that is empty. To check this go to File->Switch to Library. You'll get a window that looks somehting like this:
Of course the names for the libraries will be different. What does yours show? Is there more then one library listed. If you select Other/New you get this:
The first library in the list is the currenttly opened Library. What does you window say?
2. The other possibilty is that you have a filter set on the library keeping you from actually seeing the images in it. Go to the Library tabb of the Inspector and select the Photos icon. Make sure the search box looks like this:
If neither of these two actions clear up your problem post back.

Missing slideshow themes in Aperture 3. Help.

I have Aperture 3 on both my MacBook Pro and my MacPro. I began experimenting with slideshows today and discovered that the version of Aperture on my MacBook Pro has more slideshow themes than the version on my MacPro. Does anyone know how that could happen? Both are clean installs and are the same exact version and I keep both machines up to date with Apple Software Update.
At this point I am wondering if there is a way for me to find the themes in Finder and just copy them and put them on my MacPro? OR is there something that I am missing??
The themes on my MacPro are as follows:
Classic
Ken Burns
Photo Edges
Scrapbook
Shatter
Sliding Panels
Snapshots
Watercolor Panels
The themes on my MacBook Pro are as follows:
Classic
Ken Burns
Photo Edges
Scrapbook
Shatter
Sliding Panels
Snapshots
Watercolor Panels
Holiday Mobile
Origami
Photo Mobile
Places
Reflections
Scrapbook
Vintage Prints
If anyone can shed some light on this for me I'd be grateful. Thanks in advance!
Cheers!

Ahh! I was thinking that that may be the case. Thanks!!
I never upgraded iLife on my MacPro because I hated the way the new version dealt with photos in email. Also hated that when I hover an event and found the image I was looking for and double-clicked on it, I would have to re-hunt the image down all over again when it opened the event. The old version of iLife/iPhoto (which I'm still using on my MacPro) highlights the image once the event is opened, making it so easy to find.
Anyway, don't mean to go on about my woes with that. I guess what I would LOVE to do now is be able eo move over the themes from my MBP to My MP. Do you (or anyone) know if the themes are modular and can be copied and used on another machine that does not have iLife 11?
Thanks! Great sleuthing!
Cheers!

Aperture lost all my album settings!

Spent about 3 hours setting up a wedding album with a customer. I printed one page as a proof to see how things were going. Looked good. Went back in and was going to print 4 more pages. Just before I presssed the "print" button in the print dialogue, Aperture "quit" unexpectedly! After I restarted the application, it had lost all the work I had done on the album! The images are still in the project, and there is an album, but the album reverted to another theme than the one I was using and lost all the images! Is there anything I can try to get the album setting back, or am I just screwed? Wish we knew if anyone at Apple ever reads these things.

Hi Ken,
If this is what I think you are referring to Ken, then don't worry, all is not lost.
This has happened to me once or twice in the past when either installing a new version of iTunes or when I have re-linked my iPod to my other computer.
One thing to check first though:
If you open iTunes and look in your Library and select any track you like (you dont kneed to play it) and make sure that you have the 'Show or Hide Song Artwork' tab at the bottom left of iTunes (its the fourth one in) selected, can you see the Artwork for your track?
I know you are concerned about the artwork on your iPod, but this is important, if it is showing thats great. If not, it might just be switched off. If you look at the grey bar that makes the top of the Artwork box that views the image, does it say 'Selected Song' or 'Now Playing'? If it is the latter, then with your mouse just click on it and your Artwork for that track should appear.
Makes sure this is the case for a few others, and if so, your artwork is not lost and can easily be put back on to your iPod.
Now Make sure your iPod is connected and showing in the Sources list on the right of iTunes.
Now go into the iPod options menu by going to the Edit menu and selecting the bottom option 'Preferences' and then opening the iPod tab. You will see an option to show your artwork on your iPod. Select this then click OK out of the Preferences and do an update.
iTunes will then say its updating your iPod, and when it has confirmed that your music is updated, it will then import all your artwork back into your iPod and it should then be present when you use your iPod.
Depending how many tracks you have on your iPod and in iTunes, this might take quite some time. For me last time without about 4 tracks on an AMD Athlone this took about 40 minutes.
I hope this is of help.

Changed disks in my RAID, Aperture lost all referenced masters.

I have a G-Speed eS RAID system. I had 4 X 1TB disks.
I decided to change the hard disks to 2TB ones to double my storage capacity.
I retained the same volume name. I backed up the 2.5TB of data to 3 other disks and then copied it back to my upgraded RAID.
So I have a completely identical file structure. My photos were in /Volumes/GS/photo, and this is where they are now. However Aperture lost all connections to the 35000 referenced files.
It seems that there is no way to tell Aperture that old /Volumes/GS and new /Volumes/GS is the same location from my point of view (is your point of view different?). This means I have to reconnect each one of the 100+ projects manually. I DO NOT LIKE THAT. Am I missing something, or is this a nasty oversight? Don't tell me that this is a "feature" and one can only move REFERENCED masters from within Aperture...
Note: Repairing or rebuilding the library does not help.

Your suggestion works, but
1) You have to first select all photos in the "photos" smart album. If you do select them all, "Reconnect All" will not work.
2) Most important, after reconnecting, I also told Aperture to rebuild my library. And it lost them again... The photos got connected to a <null> named drive which is shown as offline.
We are talking about a big deficit of reliability here...
I had a backup of my Aperture Library. So I reconnected the files again, without a Library rebuild this time.
But what if I need to rebuild my library in the future?? I AM SCARED...
No need to mention that I have lost all day moving around many gigabytes of data, reconnecting files, etc etc. This is hardly a productivity boost.
The worst part is that I like a lot the Aperture UI and I hate the alternative.
But Aperture is unfortunately unreliable.
Just play enough time with the loupe on my MacPro and the application will crash.

I have lost all my music on my itunes library. These were not purchased items from itunes, just CDs i had imported, so I could reimport them, but would rather not do that.

I have recently lost all my itunes library. All the CD's were imported, but I would rather not go through the laborious technique of downloading them on to my computer again. I have tried all sorts of methods to restore my library, and have now given up. I have deleted itunes completely from my computer, and reinstalled the program.
I have now bought itunes match.
Unfortunately, I now realise that I will lose all the music on my phone if I use itunes match. So, is there any way of transferring the music on my iphone back to itunes?
Can anybody help?
Thanks.

Hey xxCreepyFiaxx,
First, I would try the following suggested steps for when you don't see content in iTunes after updating:
Quit iTunes.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes.
Use the Finder (Mac) or Windows Explorer (Windows) to go to the iTunes folder that contains the iTunes library files:
Mac OS X
/Users/username/Music/iTunes/
Microsoft Windows Windows XP and Windows 2000
\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Microsoft Windows Windows Vista and Windows 7
\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
Drag the iTunes Library file from the above location to the Desktop.
Open the Previous iTunes Libraries folder in the iTunes folder.
Locate the file named iTunes Library YYYY-MM-DD where YYYY-MM-DD is the date you upgraded iTunes (Year-Month-Day).
Drag this file to the iTunes folder (the enclosing folder).
Rename this file to iTunes Library.
Open iTunes.
You should now see your missing content in iTunes.
via: No content shows up in iTunes after updating

If that doesn't resolve the issue, then I'd go through the steps in here:
