Lost all photos and projects - What happened

I am running OS X 10.9 and have Aperture 2 - I have never had an issue and recently opened Aperture and it's completly empty.
Lost all my projects and photographs! Years worth...
Is it not compatible with my OS?
DId I maybe delete the aperture library file?
Please help me get everything back.
I apprecaite anyones input and walking me through the steps of locating my files.
Thanks in advance!
Tony

It sounds, like a new empty library has been created.
You could use Terminal's Find command find any other libraries you may have.
The terminal App is located in your Applications/Utility folder. Navigate to it in finder (or use launchpad and type 'ter' to find it). When you find it, lauch Terminal.app
This will give you a command line window where you can type various commands to examine your system.
Copy the following command and paste it into terminal, then press return to run it.
find . -iname "*.aplibrary" 2>/dev/null
If it finds any libraries is will show you the path to where each is located.
If it doesn't find anything, you may need to look to your backup.
I don't know if Aperture 2 works properly on Mavericks.

My ipod just lost all videos and music what happened

help please

- You can try a reset:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
But I do not think it will work.
- Why not just sync then again from your computer?
- If they are not on your computer, and they are iTunes' purchases thiswill work if you are in the USA with the latest iTunes:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- If they were taken by your camera, would they be in your iPod backup on your computer? If yes, then restore from backup. Just make sure that iTunes is set to NOT automatically sync when connected since when you connect, the iPod gets synced and that includes a backup and erases past backups.

Unfortunely, all movies and songs purchased in iTunes will be lost...you'll have to purchase them again! Any applications you've purchased, you can download again for free.
Music Rescue is a program you can use to transfer any and all data (music, movies, pictures..) from your iPod to your computer, and iTunes.

Help, lost all photos and texts while syncing new iphone

While syncing my husbands new iphone 3 on itunes I gained all the music but lost all photos and texts... also all the apps and contacts from my iphone were added to his phone. Need help mostly on how to recover the photos that were deleted, there were about 1,000 of them and I didn't realize it was happening until it was too late....

Where did the photos come from in the first place?
You computer?
His computer?

I have downloaded the most recent version of Iphoto and it no longer works period. I lost all photos, and the app crashes every time I try to open it. How can this be fixed?

Lost all photos and albums in iPhoto version 9.4.3

Hi all, I'm currently using iPhoto version 9.4.3.
Didn't do anything out of the norm but lost all my imported photos from my iPhone that I've painstakingly put into albums.
Only thing I did differently was shutting down my laptop cos I was catching a plane. After restarting my laptop and iPhoto, I realised all photos and albums were gone.
Read solutions abt rebuilding libraries but didn't work.
HELP! Not sure what to do next, so anything suggestions will be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

Synched Ipod lost all photos and apps.

I synced my ipod to my computer for the first time. I downloaded itunes on my computer. I connected my ipod and was told to download latest software for ipod. After downloading, I got message that download failed. Had to unplug and reconnect ipod to computer. Set up as new connection and new ipod name. All photos and apps are gone. Where did the apps and photos get downloaded to?? How do I get back to original ipod name I had before I unplugged and re-plugged in and gave new name. Apps and photo's no where to be found in Itunes on my computer.

You should have backed up to iCloud and restore backup after the sync or update.
Re-download your apps from App Store>Purchased

Updated and back uped phone last night and now have lost all photos and aps. What happened

backed up phone last night and lost all aps, contacts, and photos. What happened

The phone was not restored from the backup.
Frankly, unless the user actually copies the pictures off the device to the computer, there is no guarantee they will return. They should return when restored from backup, but it's not a risk that most intelligent people are willing to take if the photos are considered valuable.
Apps may not be syncing due to the "Sync Apps" option being deselected.

Lost all photos and apps on update

I have a 3GS and have just done the ISO5 update and have now lost all my photos and applications. Prior to doing the update I backed up but during the update the phone synched again to the new settings, extremely upset. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, try all possible to get any backup if you did, such as Google address books, iTunes backup files, or iCloud backup.
If you really don't have any backup, don't worry, you can use some third-party iPhone data recovery software to get your photos, messages and contacts back!

Lost all photos and data

My husband's iphone 4 was plugged in to my aptop for charging (not unusual). When I looked at it, I saw that itunes had synched it as if it were my phone. Everything of his is gone. Is there anyway of retrieiving, at the very least, the photos.

If he had a backup, he could restore from his backup where there should be photos and other information. To prevent this from happening in the future, turn off auto-sync
in itunes, click 'edit' in the toolbar, then 'preferences.' next, choose 'devices' from the options at the top, and check the box next to where it says 'prevent iphones, ipads, and ipods from syncing automatically' and click 'ok'
Now, when you plug in a device to the computer, it won't attempt to sync without you pressing a button to do so

Lost all photos, and music, apps from my phone can...

Hi newbie here, had my nokia 800 for a over 12 months now and has been working ok up till 3 days ago, wouldnt charge at all no power, just vibrated and never started up. anyway tried pressing a few keys after looking at a few forums trouble shooting guides and the phone seems to have been reset!
i had a lot of photos of my daughter being born which are very precious to me and want to try an retrieve them, i also cant seem to find them on Zune only the few recent ones i have taken since the phone came back from the dead, is there any way of getting them through zune?
my phone has played up again in the last 24 hours but it seems to charge ok after a while.
PLEASE help.
regards dan

If you has the auto upload function for pictures turned on you'll find the photos on Skydrive. While I can understand it must be feeling bad you lost the images please ensure you backup and sync pictures to your PC on a regular basis. Something can happen to your phone so the golden rule here is backup your personal files..

HELP! I changed my desktop photo and lost all photos and music!

I swear, all i did was put a pretty picture of lightening (that was in Apple's list of stock photos to choose from BTW!) on my desktop. It might as well have been real lightening because iPhoto doesn't have any of my pictures in it and iTunes doesn't have any of my music. When I open these folders, I can find the content there, but why did it disappear from the programs AND if I change my desktop back, will the pics/tunes come back?!?! I can live without the photos but the music and movies!!!! I have it all on my iPhone but now I am afraid to "sync" it to my computer.
Perhaps something easy like "import"?

Well, I ended up just dragging and dropping my music back into iTunes and it recopied them but all playlists are gone... oh well. As far as I can tell, all purchased music is there as well.
As far as the photos, I can see and open them in the pictures file (with the album titles and all) with Preview, but I tried to drag and drop those as well, but it was saying there was an error and it couldn't read them or something like that. I know, I should have written the error message down... rookie mistake. Just to test, I tried to upload a picture from the folder to a website, but when I went to browse for the picture it didn't recognize any of them.
I also repaired permissions (there were alot!) a couple of times until there were none. That didn't seem to work... I am so frustrated. They are all there on the hard drive but they wont go into iPhoto.
I think the worst part is... why did this happen and what to avoid so it won't happen again. I can't believe it is just because I changed the background on my desk top. After I did it, many of my regular sites like webmail didn't recognize me when I visited and I had to answer a bunch of my security questions again. Its as if they don't recognize this is the same computer just because it has a different screen saver!!! If all this really is because of that, it is a major design flaw. Why put the option to change if it is going to throw the whole system into a tailspin?
I am sure it is something I did wrong... just venting.
Anyway, how to get the photos imported back into iPhoto... any more ideas?

Lost all photos and other problems followed after upgrade to iphoto 6

All of my photos disappeared while creating a calendar in iphoto 6. I was finally able to find them in the trash can???? After loading them back into my library the photos have shrunk. I shoot with an 8 megapixel camera, and now I can't enlarge at all. How can I recreate my original library. Very frustrated with latest release.
Any suggestions?
Bill

The new structure organizes photos into Originals and Modified folders. There is a third folder called Data that contains thumbnails created for the photos (smaller pictures used for better performance). These three are essential for iPhoto 6 to work.
Each folder contains a folder for each year (a year folder is created if you have even one photo from that year, e.g. a photo from 4/3/2004 will create a folder called "2004" and any other photos from that year will then be placed within it.
Every import creates a serially numbered Roll folder within the year folder. So if you import photos including IMG_234.jpg from 4/3/2004, for example, the location of IMG_234.jpg will be:
iPhoto Library/Originals/2004/Roll 1/IMG_234.jpg
And Roll 1 will have other photos imported in the same session. If you modify the photo within iPhoto (enhance, retouch, etc), the modified copy will exist in:
iPhoto Library/Modified/2004/Roll 1/IMG_234.jpg
The Data folder will contain a thumbnail for the image in the same path as the Originals:
iPhoto Library/Data/2004/Roll 1/IMG_234.jpg
So inside the iPhoto Library folder, you will see some files and those three folders with their sub-structure folders. Other things within the top level of the iPhoto Library folder, are leftovers from the previous structure - such as a folder called "2004" or "2005" that ISN'T inside Originals, Data, or Modified folders.
PhillyPhan's advice is sage. Don't mess with the insides of the iPhoto Library. However, I did verify on my own system after I upgraded, that year folders at the top level of the iPhoto Library are from previous versions of iPhoto. So you could move those, and those only, to a separate folder on your HD. I moved those off to a DVD-ROM and haven't seen problems since.
Remember: Don't touch any files, and don't touch anything within Data, Originals, and Modified folders.
