Lost desktop photos after upgrading OS?

How do i retrieve documents after upgrading to mountain lion?

Restore from a backup. If you didn't backup your files before upgrading, then they may be gone.
Check your Pictures folder.

Has anybody lost imported photos after upgrading to Lion? (iphoto11)

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. .

What happened to my photos after upgrading to IOS 8

What happened to my photos after upgrading to IOS 8.0.2? How do I recover them?j

Hi arnpa,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you've updated your iOS device to iOS 8, the photos should still be on the device. The photos will be organized differently than they were previously, though.
In iOS 8, the Photos app organizes photos by date instead of by device or photo source. Here are some questions you might have about Photos after updating to iOS 8.
Where can I find the Camera Roll?
The Photos app in iOS 8 doesn't separate photos and videos based on how they were added to your device. Instead of a Camera Roll, your photos and videos (even ones that you didn't take with or save to your device) are organized by date in Photos.
When you open the Photos app and tap the Photos tab, you'll see your photos and videos listed by Moments, Collections, and Years. Tap Moments to see individual photos organized by date and location, tap Collections to zoom out to a more condensed view, and then tap Years to zoom out even more. Tap a collection or year to zoom back in.
And you'll now have a Recently Added album, which shows the photos and videos added to your device in the last 30 days, organized by date. To see your Recently Added album, tap Albums > Recently Added.
Where can I find the My Photo Stream album?
In iOS 8, there's no longer a separate My Photo Stream album. Instead, photos that were in the My Photo Stream album are now in the Recently Added album.
If you were using iPhoto for iOS, make sure that you migrated your photos.

If the photos are no longer on your device, and you backed up to iCloud or iTunes, you may need to restore from a backup:

What happened to Snow Leopard's desktop pictures after upgrade to Mavericks?
New OS X versions sometimes comes with new OS X default desktop pictures.
I'm sure you can find them on the Internet or better ones here and elsewhere
http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper/downloads/date/widescreen/1920x1200/index1.ht ml
Your personal desktop pictures should be still of course in your iPhoto and Pictures folder you might have to retarget them again in System Preferences.
If you can't find the pictures, you can install Snow Leopard onto a external drive and boot the computer and get them, or find out where they are located and just copy them.

Why No Desktop / Screen Saver Photos After Upgrade to 3.3.1?

After upgrading to Aperture 3.3.1, no Aperture Desktop / Screen Saver images appear. Message "Unable to locate XXX" comes on. When I went into System Preferences, I find my iPhoto Library I have but NO Aperture Library & resulting Projects & Albums.
I can open Aperture, import new photos, scroll thru all my Projects, Albums, Folders etc just NOT see them in Desktop / Screensaver.
Thanks / Gene

I went into Aperture and clicked on Render Previews and all the Aperture Projects etc appeared and solved the problem : -)

Lost all photos after a software update

I really hope someone can help here as I'm pretty desperate!
My iMac, running OS 10.4.11 recently offered a software upgrade on-line to iPhoto, to iPhoto 8 (7.14)
I accepted and when I tried to launch it next it said it couldn't show any photos and quoted that it needed to update the thumbnails. I accepted that it should do so. Nothing seemed to happen and no pictures showed after the supposed re-build stopped.
On quitting and re-launching I found to my horror that it had lost all photos, events, folders etc. meaning I'd lost over 400 pictures of our 3 year olds.
I searched for advice and have tried some remedies to library failures posted here but to no avail. All I could do was copy in pictures from my hard disc back-up folder and my iDisk but these stop at July 2008. I'm gutted, my wife will kill me so what on earth can I do?
Plus, to Apple - thanks! How the **** can this happen?

There's no reason to panic. Simply you have a damaged database file.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders 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 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.

Cannot see photos after upgrading to iPhoto 9.1.3

I upgraded my iPhoto to 9.1.3 and now I cannot see some of my photos. iPhoto indicates the photos are there, but all I see is blank dotted frames where thumbnails should be. When I click on one of the photos I get a gray out frame with an exclamation in the middle. I tried rebuilding the library/thumbnails, extracting using iPhoto LIbrary Manager, checking disk permissions/repairing in Utilties, etc. I tried every suggestions and recommendations I found on the net, but I still cannot see those files. I regret deleting them off my camera disc. These are the only masters I have. So I can't copy them back into the library. If anyone know how I can retrieve these files, please let me know. I also went back in my Time Machine and the same files are all empty gray frames. All I know is that the files were "visible" before the upgrade and now I can't see them after the upgrade. Any suggestions?

Hi - yes I did that last night and unlike rebuilding via control option route, IPLM did not rebuild those files. It stated they do not exist. I double checked by "Show Package Contents" and the master of those files is no longer there. My next move is to go into Time Machine and see if I can restore the library from when the files were still in there (though unseen by iPhoto) and hope the master are still recoverable. If that doesn't work, then I'm at the point of accepting that perhaps I may have lost 51 photos (1 event) during this upgrade. I'm still open to suggestions though.

Can't find photos after upgrading to Windows 7

Bridge was working fine in Vista but after upgrading to Windows 7, I cannot find any of my photo files with bridge. Photoshop CS4 find them OK and so does Lightroom but for some reason Bridge does not list them under Folders. If I click on Libraries it says "no files". It does not list Pictures or My Pictures. I am totally stumped.

If I am in Photoshop
and go File>Open I get a list:
Recent Places
Desktop
Libraries
Computer
Network
I click on Libraries and get a list:
Documents
Pictures
Music
Videos
I click on Pictures and that is where all my picture files are stored (Used to be My Pictures in XP)
This also works in Lightroom if I Click on Import/Choose Files
Howeve,r from within Bridge, if I click on Libraries it says "No items to Display"
Also,within Bridge, If I click on the Files menu, the work Open is grayed out.

Lost my music after upgrading to iOS 8

After upgrading to ios 8 I lost all the music downloaded through iTunes (from ripping my CDs), on both iPhone 5 and iPad 3rd generation, except the music purchased online.

Hey Keisha, Are the photos in your iPhoto library on your computer? If so, you should be able to check the photos option in your iPod's summary page in iTunes and add then back. Hope this helps, Cheers.

Lost Developer Toolbar after upgrade from 4.1 to 4.2

After upgrading from 4.1 to 4.2.1.00.08, we have lost the Developer Toolbar.
Have others run into this with the upgrade or fresh installation of 4.2.1?
If so, what suggestions are there for fixing, short of reinstallation mentioned in this other thread:
{message:id=10692572}
Following the guidance there to look at the instance ID and other preference settings, I compared our three instances. The two that are not having the problem are both at 4.2.0.00.27.
Here are the preferences that exist on our other instances but are null on the problem instance:
APEX_4_1_0_PATCH_12920544
APEX_4_2_0_PATCH_14777994
APP_EXPORT_TO_DB_ENABLED
HPROF_DIRECTORY
INSTANCE_ID
MOBILE_DEVELOPMENT_ENABLED
PRINT_SVR_HOST
PRINT_SVR_PORT
PRINT_SVR_SCRIPTI have asked our support team to review the upgrade log. Re-installation from scratch is an option.
Any advice is welcome.

Thanks, Joel.
You inspired me to take a closer look, and look beyond the upgrade.
After the upgrade, my application passed a superficial checkout. Later, I exported my application and in the export file, the Instance ID was not NULL. I had not noticed any problems with how APEX was working.
The problems of the missing Developer Toolbar, Instance ID = NULL, and a new one, did not occur until I removed my application and tested a clean installation of the workspace and application. This is the sequence of events. The immediate triggering cause is clearly one of the following:
1. Deinstall application (ID 820) from APEX 4.2.1.00.08 instance, running 11g (11.1.0.7.0).
2. Remove workspace (PVA_AH9_R12)
3. (drop the parsing schema, xxpva, and related tablespace)
4. (create tablespace and schema user, xxpva)
5. Import workspace (PVA_AH9_R12) from an APEX 4.2.0.00.27 instance.
6. Import application (ID 820) including supporting objects from an APEX 4.2.0.00.27 instance, running 11g (11.2.0.1.0).
The next day I noticed the Developer Toolbar missing problem, and found that Instance ID is NULL.
Also, after Exporting an application in Database format, I cannot download the file from the Export Repository. When I click the filename link, I get 'Access Denied' instead of the normal download dialog.
Does this suggest anything else I should look into?
Do you think I should post this as a new problem/question with more detail about the sequence of events?

ICal has lost all events after upgrade to 10.8.3.

iCal has lost all events and calendars except for birthdays after upgrade to 10.8.3. If I sync to my iPhone, will it wipe them from the phone, or will it get the events from the phone?
I have Time Machine working, but am unsure how to restore calendars from it.
PLEASE HELP.

Not sure why you think having to re-authorize would indicate an incompatibility or problem with their software unless you meant you have to keep re-authorizing the plugin?
Some plugins need re-authorization when you change a certain file or files in your system.. or if the file structure itself changes.. or the drive is renamed for example.. It could simply be that IK used a different form of authorization routine to their other plugins or versions of their plugins, with Amplitude 2.... Nothing to do with an incompatibility...or problems.
Anyhow I am happy you got the matter resolved and yes, random bursts of white noise is a classic sign of a plugin running in demo mode and needing authorization or re-authorisation as I suspected in your case.

Can't import photos after upgrade to Tiger 10.4.8

After upgrading from Panther to Tiger I can no longer import photos to iPhoto 4 from my camera. I get error messages that say "Unreadable files: 240. The following files could not be imported (they may be unrecognized file type or the file may not contain valid data). When I go to the directory they are located in, I see a bunch of JPG files, but when I try to open them I get a message from Preview saying it may be corrup or a file format Preview doesn't recognize.
I can view the photos that were in iPhoto prior to the OS upgrade without any problem.

Hi, hope I've caught this discussion before it's ended.
Been getting "Unreadable files. The following files could not be imported (they may be unrecognized file type or the file may not contain valid data" ... but then ...
Was having problems with my hard drive and was about to back up my iPhoto Library when I checked the folder size with 'Apple i' and the 'lock' option was ticked. I definitely didn't option it. I've added images to iPhoto with this option unchecked and they've all gone in fine. Fantastic.
I too think my problems started after Tiger upgrade back last Autumn, loaded some pics in iPhoto at that time, deleted from camera and went back to iPhoto - none there!
Try this option, hope it works for someone else.

Lost my wireless after upgrading

After upgrading my Airport Extreme to 5.3.1, i have lost my wireless connections. I still have my wired connection through the router, I can't seem to re-establish my network through airport. I have even reset the airport by pushing the button. Restarted my cable internet connection x 2 and restarting my computer, recycling the Airport Extreme...nothing is working wirelessly. Maybe my Airport Extreme is broken?

Try deleting the following files from the ~/Library/Preferences/ directory (this is the Library directory within your User folder):
* com.apple.internetconfig.plist
* com.apple.internetconfigpriv.plist
* com.apple.internetconnect.plist
go to to Airport menu and re-selecting the desired network.
*perform a hard reset*
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107451
Also, merely unplug the Base Station and then plug it back in after 30 seconds or so. I've also experienced this same problem on a very infrequent basis and recycling the AEBS always permitted it to be recognized again by Apple's Airport Utility
