Lost folder. help

i dropped a folder in the pictures section in finder but it disappeared. right before i dropped an icon of a cloud or something appeared and then the folder was gone. i checked in finder and it wasn't anywhere. it isn't in trash either. anyone know how to retrieve the folder ?

Enter the name of the folder in the Spotlight search, and see if the Spotlight search results will help you locate where the folder went.
The usual reason for that particular icon — an animation of something disappearing — is something that was dragged off of the Dock. Was the Dock the source of the drag-and-drop? If so, then the folder likely still exists in its original location.

How do I recover a lost folder?

How do I recover a lost folder on my MackBook Pro, (2011, Yosemete 10.10.2) ? I was cleaning up a folder when suddenly it was gone! "Finder" can not find it. It is not in Trash. It is gone! Help Please!!!

You can restore a JSON backup in Firefox if you have such a backup.<br />
* Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Restore > Choose File
Restoring a JSON will however replace all the current bookmarks.<br />
If you have any that you want to preserve then you need to export the bookmarks to an HTML file and re-import that HTML backup after you have restored the JSON backup.<br />
Make sure that a JSON backup has .json file extension and that an HTML backup has a .html fle extension to avoid problems (nothing happens or you get an error like can't process the backup file).

It's a common issue. The Basic panel is merely hidden.
Hiding/unhiding panels is actually a feature of Lightroom but it is unintuitive - few people know it exists - so most newcomers are thrown when a panel somehow gets hidden.
Right-click anywhere in the right hand side panel area and a context menu will appear.
Click the Basic option to make the Basic panel re-appear.

Hi All, I plugged my iPhone into my laptop and I was asked to upgrade my iTunes software. It took more than seven hours and just to be told that my SIM card does not appear to be supported. Since then I can not use my iPhone. I am lost plse help. Jam53
Every time I switch on the iPhone, the iTunes icon is displayed together with a USB icon and Emergency call message appears on the screen in many languages. When I touch the i symbol I get the following information IMEI: **** AND ICCID: ****
However, the iphone is visible in the Devices directory in iTunes. I changed my SIM card but still can not be recognized by the iPhone.

Do you mean when you say its locked to another carrier other then the one im using, that maybe my insurance sent me an iphone thats for a different network for example orange and not mine which is o2?

One of my bookmark folders has gone missing - Ican find it in the C:\Users\ my name\favorites but not in any of the bookmarkbackups folder - HELP

For a week or so, my "media" folder has been missing from my Bookmarks list. It's a long folder, so I did not want to reenter all the URLs. I followed the troubleshooting info and checked all the bookmark backup files. No joy. I also ran a word search for "Media".
No relevant hits.
Neither "explorer" nor "Total Commander" could find the profile Folder. They did find a "Favorites" folder which included the lost folder.
Is there any easy way for me to "reload" the lost folder?
Also, there was a reference to Norton 360 - could it be the problem?
I wouldn't think it would affect only one folder.

IE stores favorites as separate files and folders on the hard drive. Firefox stores all the bookmarks and history in one SQLite database file called places.sqlite, so you won't find anything if you do a search on your hard drive.

It sounds like you might be using two different applications for taking notes. That could get confusing. Have a look at this tutorial on using the Notes application that comes with iPad. There is a good suggestion in here about saving really important notes. http://www.ehow.com/video_6214241_using-notes-ipad.html

HOW TO RECOVER A LOST FOLDER OR FILES?

I have had severe problems with my Macbook lately and I'm scared I have lost a very important folder and some files. How can I find them or recover them completely? I have searched the trash, spotlight, and finder and its missing???! please help thanks!

It can occur that some files appear to have been lost or corrupted. This can be caused due to several reasons. For instance, you could have ejected a removable device or accidentally deleted a folder that contained hidden files. No matter the reason, there is no reason to panic. Here is what to do to recover your files:
Launch MacHider and click Restore Files in the main toolbar.
Select the folder where the hidden files were originally located and click Open in the window that appears.
The file will be found and shown in the main list so that you can select to unhide it using the slider in the Inspector panel.

8 months of photos lost -- PLEASE help

Last night when I opened up iPhoto, all my photos since 10/30/2006 are gone. I read to try deleting the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file, but this didn't work.
Where could these pictures have gone? And why just this chunk of pics after 10/30/2006?. Please help, as there are a LOT of shots than were taken from Nov 2006 to present.
P.S. I just realized this is being posted in the iPhoto 6 forum. I am using iPhoto 5 though...

rmcfall:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. No, I don't think you've lost your image files. Look inside the iPhoto Library/Originals folder and you should find them all in subfolders representing the rolls in the library.
Since the rebuild didn't restore the library you'll have to create a new library and import the original files from the old one as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the rolls from the original.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same rolls as the original library. However dates on the rolls may be different but can be edited as you would the roll title.
Once this is completed you can delete the Originals folder from the desktop and the iPhoto Llibrary folder. If desired, you can keep the older library folder to try other fixes on it.
In the future I recommend you make a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto file after each import and after doing a lot of editing and organizing in the library. Then if you experience a similar crash all you need to do is replace the damaged database file with the backup copy and you'll be back to the same place in the library as when you make the backup. See the tip at the end of my signature.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Rebuild Mailbox Lost Emails HELP

I inadvertently clicked Rebuild Mailbox for the main INBOX of one of my POP accounts, and have lost over 8,000 important emails. I saw a few posts by others who had experienced this, but no answers that were helpful. Three attempts to restore this from Time Machine have failed, though restoration of the OTHER main POP Account's lost mail seems to have succeeded.
Really? A simple command in a menu with no explanation or warning dialogue that you are going to lose major files?
I have gone into the hidden user Library and find an entry for that Inbox, but nothing within the folder makes any sense to me at all. A complicated string of characters as a folder-name (and, no, there are no .noindex extensions anywhere) with subfolders just consisting of many folders designated by single integers.
Please help.

Hi
I'll try and explain what I did more clearly. Following advice elsewhere I created a duplicate account of one which already existed and which I had been using. I named the account differently but it was a second account of an email account I was already using. The reason I did this was to try to set it up so that I could request a read receipt on an email to one person and I read on another site that this was how to do it. Upon finding that this made no difference and without having written, send or received any emails using the new duplicate account I decided to delete it.
Once I had deleted it I went to my email to find that the emails I had previously sent and received using the original account with the same email address had all disappeared.
I checked using finder for them and I can't see them.
I am new to using a mac so bare with me.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice. I really need to try to get these emails back.
