Lost all images in a project

Recently upgraded to 1.1, was done importing 630 images into a project, had finished rating all of them, and was in the process of exporting to photoshop. After an export (not the first), I came back to Aperture and all of the images and metadata from this project are just GONE!
I spent a whole day sorting and rating, and I've just lost this whole collection of images. The album is still listed in the library, but it's empty. I'm devastated, and can't forsee continuing to use this program.
Does anyone have ideas on how to get back the images and metadata? The actual RAW files are not lost, just their thumbnails and metadata.
I'm going to Adobe Bridge from now on, I can't work with this level of buggy software.

Are you sure you've not accidentally turned on a search in the project? For instance, it's super-easy to hit Control + a number and accidentally turn on searches only for images above a certain rating. Or you might have enabled a keyword search that no images match.
Look over to the right at the search window and make sure it's cleared. Also, check out the "Rejected" folder under Library and make sure your images did not all accidentially get marked as rejected.
Your changes are most likley all in there, you just need to see what is preventing you from seeing them.

RH HTML 9-chm file How to change the Shared Path of all images in entire project.

Dear alll,
Previously, I inserted all images to my project from a shared folder with path A. But now I could not access to path A anymore, so I created a folder with the same name in path B which have the same images.
Now I need to update images and I cannot synchronize them from the current folder with path B.
I right-click an image in Project Manager pod, select Properties and then I saw this image has an attribute Shared Path is path A. There is any way to change this Shared Path to path B for all images in the project at a time ?
Anyone experiments it, please help me. Thanks.

Given you posted on the weekend, I would expect everyone to be off doing weekend-y things, rather than work-related things.
I don't use shared resources, but perhaps this topic, specifically the Replace Link entry might help?

Lost all images in Keynotes for your college lectures

Hello,
I spent a great amount of time developing 15 keynotes for an art history course. I've upgraded to a new macbook (early 2013 retina) and bought the Keynote 09 5.3 .
Now I've lost all images on my slides? This is infuriating! I copied the folder of presentations to an external drive. They also do not show up when accessed from the old macbook using the drive. Nothing is corrupted on the external drive but these keynotes.
I see images on the thumbnails. But the slides show placeholders.
Please help!

All Images is not a location. It's a list.
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, faces and places 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.

Desktop can not see all images in aperture project

When trying to change the background picture desktop lists my aperture projects but only displays a subset (5 of 114) of the images in one project. Also have 2 of 8, 152 of 152, and 0 of 12 in different projects.

It's possible you don't have Previews for the "missing" images (Aperture shares the Preview, not the full image).
What happens if you update every image in the Project's Preview?
To update all the JPEG previews in a project
In the Library inspector, Control-click the project whose JPEG previews you want to update, then choose Update Previews from the shortcut menu.

Updated to OS X Mavericks/lost all of my iMovie projects

I just updated to OS XMavericks. Which also updated iLife. I lost all of my projects and media I had in iMovie. I never received a pop-up warning me of this issue. Has this happened to anyone else?

I'm just happy your data is still there.
Let it be a lesson, anything can go wrong at any time. Always keep a good backup!

Backup drive lost all images transferred over

The beginning of this month I helped a friend back up her photos onto an external drive. We moved over 10K photos and then around 400 music files.
We then set up Time Machine to back up everything as it should. I checked her settings and compared them with mine on my iMac and it all checked out fine.
Time machine has been backing up her stuff as normal but MANY things are missing.
Once we moved all her important stuff to those folders outside of the time machine backups, we ejected the external and then proceeded to clean up and remove those images from her iPhoto to clear up space on her computer. She doesn't have a very big hard drive and she simply ran out of room. Putting those images on the external was intended to preserve them.
They are gone. ALL of them and she has not used the laptop since that day other than to let time machine back up.
We work together over Team Viewer to do this as she lives in another state.
Other than her lying to me, what could have made 10K photos disappear? ALL the movies are there. only the photos disappeared.
Also, the backup in Time Machine does not have the lost images. Makes no sense. We both SAW all those images there, saved and in proper order.
Also, she uses DropBox and we moved all the stuff from there to the external for safe keeping and the same thing - the folder is there, but the images are gone. Only the movies are preserved.
How can Time Machine only preserve select images from iPhoto and if she didn't do anything to those folders, how could they be removed from the external?
Now, I am pretty sure I can rebuild what is left in the Time Machine backup from the iPhoto app, but I'm not sure if it will back up.
I did see inside her Pictures directory an iPhoto Library_backup copy icon AND a directory titled iPhoto Library_backup.
INSIDE the directory I can open it up and see a directory titled "before restore" and in there are two databases. iPhotoAux.db and iPhotoMain.db. Would either or both of these be what I need to use to restore old things back on her drive?
I found those inside the iPhoto app where it says "import" and that directory was the only thing highlighted as something I can restore. It shouldn't duplicate images should it? I would expect it to skip duplicates.
I'm at a loss. We both saw all those images in the external and now they're gone.
Her machine:
Macbook Pro with 250GB drive
OSX 10.9.5

There is no way not to spend money. Prosoft Data Rescue offers a demo. You might be able to try one of the other tools as well.
Partitioning actually does wipe the data pretty well, so while it may be there, it may be very hard to get at it.
Never partition a drive that has the only copy of data you need. Always backup first.

Project not displaying all images.

In the project pane each project has a number beside it showing the quantity of images it contains.I have a Project called 2007 for all images from 2007 this contains 3830 images, if i click on the closed project ,without opening it, all images in the project become available in the browser pain ie 3830 images, this appears to be correct behavior.+However my 2006 project contains 2541 images, when I click on this without expanding it only 15 images become available in the browser+, how can I fix this.
I have since started organising each month into its own project with individual folders for each day to keep each project size down.All images are referenced.
Command;"update previews for project" has no positive effect.
Within each annual project I have brown folders for each month containing blue folders for each day.

in between the browser and viewer panes is a little search box ... click in it to change ... or if there is an 'x' in click it ... somehow you set a filter on that project ...

HT1338 iMovie lost all videos

My iMovie suddenly went very, very slow and failed to load. After a restart it loaded but has lost all my videos and projects.
Any ideas as to what has happened ?

when I connected my ipod, Itunes wiped the videos from my ipod as well, without even asking me!
iTunes does ask you whether you want to sync your iPod with your iTunes library when you initially set things up, and if you okay all of this, then it means you have to be extra cautious to keep things you can't afford to lose in your iTunes library as well as backed up elsewhere.
At this point, you could only rely on a backup if you have one, or on data recovery programs. If you search on versiontracker and macupdate, for example, you can find many such utilities.

How can i control what images load on my project to save preload time and avoid loading all images, elements, divs not yet visible?

Sup buddies,
How can I control what images load on my project to save preload time and avoid loading all images, elements, divs not yet visible?
As the project grows in size the load time increases. How does one control not loading all images ,divs,elements etc. until they're
needed on the timeline? For example some sections are off and only become visible when recalled. My projects slowly grow in size so loading
all images , is counter productive . My other option would be to create separate htmls but that breaks the seamless user experience .

hello, kiwi
quote: "Is there an easy way to burn a completed project to DVD, but keep only the (lo res, lo size) previews on my hard drive?"
yes.
maybe,...
1. you might think of making DVD backups first prior to importing the photos into Aperture. "Store Files: In their current location" once in Aperture make low rez Previews, and export finished Project.
or,
2. bring in the photographs to hard drive first prior to importing the photos into Aperture. "Store Files: In their current location" once in Aperture make low rez Previews, and export finished Project.
the low rez Previews will stay in Aperture but the high quality Versions will be exported onto DVDs and gone from the hard drive (if you delete the originals).
another way would be to export small about 50-70 pixel wide high quality jpegs to a folder on your Desktop and import & keep these in Aperture Library as a reference. make metadata to show where the original Project DVDs are stored and DVD filing system used.

All images in Project not showing up

I have 2000 images in a project but for some reason I can only get one subset of them [89 images] to show up. I have checked to show all, I've gone into smart albums and they all show up but only 89 show up when I want to open the entire project...This is true in the maximized viewer and also in list view. I deleted the plist and reopened and it's still happening. I wanted to avoid a full rebuild of the Library [not sure how to rebuild only a project] if possible. I just want to be able to see and work with all my 2000 images in that project, not just the subset. Thanks.

What firstlaunch said and also did you make any Folders within a Folder? If so the other photos will not show up by design because a Folder within a Folder will force a separation of the images — this is a good thing because sometimes you may not want clients to see what other clients have within projects/jobs.

After Mavericks upgrade I lost the current I Movie project I was working on. All that is left is the video clips, no photographs, music, transitions or titles. Three weeks work gone!

I upgraded to Maverick from Mountain Lion.
I also upgraded the various Apple Software applications that appeared after the upgrade to the operating system. I opened I Movie to continue work on a project I was working on and as requested I allowed I Movie to update the projects to allow it to work with the upgrade.
As it was doing this a dialogue box came up showing an error had been encountered and advised me to quit I movie. I did this and when I reopened it the project I had been working on had lost all of the photographs, music, transitions and titles. All that was left were the thirty-seven video clips and nothing else. Where has all my work gone and how can I retrieve it.

It should still be on your backup drive. Try reimporting it.

Where does time machine store content that would be found in the Finder window under "All Images, All Movies, All Documents"? Also, I have many Garageband projects and mp3 files I can't find.

Where does time machine store content that would be found in the Finder window under "All Images, All Movies, All Documents"? Also, I have many Garageband projects and mp3 files I can't find.

Easiest way to find time machine files is to open up the folder or application(works for email and iphoto) they were in - then click on time machine ICON or enter time machine from the time machine menu to go back through the files.
