Lost library, ratings and versions since installing on second computer

Hi, I recently installed aperture 3 on my secondary computer, no issues. But when I went on aperture on my primary computer before it opened it asked to perform update to library, now I have lost all albums, ratings and variations i've created since mid 2009! This is when i originally upgraded from aperture 2.0 to aperture 3. The master images are still on my external hard drive, but i have lost all the work i've done on them over the last 4 years. Any help much appreciated.

Hi, in answer to your questions:
On the old computer which shipped with aperture 2 pre-installed it was running on aperture 3 which i updated to back in mid 2009.
On the secondary mac i tried installing aperture through the aperture 3 upgrade disk, which then asked me for the original serial number, I requested this from apple (as it was pre-installed) and put that in and then it went onto install apperture 3 on the secondary mac. It installed fine on the secondary computer
The problem occured when i went to use aperture on the old mac, that's when it said it needed to update the library. It all opens fine, but what is missing is any data from mid 2009 onwards (when aperture 2 was upgraded to aperture 3. I can still manually import the masters again, but what i'm missing is all the albums, editing, rating and different versions of images i have created since mid 2009.
I've searched for any other libraries on my system or external drives there are a few, but all look older and contain less data than the one i am using now.
I'm at a loss and quite worried that i've lost all that data for ever after pressing the update library button.

Lightroom is using Photoshop CC(2014) as the external editor. How do I get it to point to Photshop CC instead? Since I'm a CC subscriber, both versions are installed on my computer.

I just don't see why you would want both Photoshop CC and Photoshop CC 2014 installed.
Jim, when PS CC 2014 became available, it was installed by the CC App alongside the existing PS CC app, rather than replacing it. For new subscribers who joined after PS CC 2014 was released, that's the only version that was installed (though the option to install PS CC is available via the Previous Version function of the CC App). Thus on my Windows system I have both versions installed automatically (because I started to subscribe before CC 2014 was released), whereas on my newer MBP only PS CC 2014 was installed because I installed it after CC 2014 was released.

Is it possible that I can view other online bills from other website but not this particular bill from one specific website?

Lost applications symbol and unable to install lion

lost applications symbol and unable to install lion. Do I have to go back to original installation of operating system. If I do will I have to reinstall all programs?

A couple of questions:
Are you really on 10.5.8 (as shown in your profile)? You need to be on 10.6.8 to install Lion.
What exactly does the "lost applications symbol" mean? You mean it disappeared from the dock? Or is your Applications folder gone? Open a Finder window and see if you can find the Applications folder.

MM should be the default calendar on all clients.

AlexCarey, I've been having issues purchasing recently and place a number of calls to the support team. On Oct. 5th, and on my own decision, I went into my itunes profile and re-entered my credit card expiration date and security code. (Notice, it is not displayed for safety measures.) Today, I received an email from Apple support verifying if I made changes made to my account. For the heck of it, I logged back into itunes; click "Buy". It's working again after three days of failure. However, diagnosis still displays "Secure link to itunes store failed". Very confusing state of affairs, lately. See my post on "Itunes dilemma"

LR4 , CS5 Design install on second computer

I have LR4 and CS5 Design standard on my I mac, all purchased at adobe and downloaded. I recently purchased a macbook pro for work and need to add these programs to it.
My question is, on Adobe.com I can see my purchases an cannot download LR4 again? also, the CS5 Design standard was an upfrade from CS4 design standard, which was
an upgrade from Photoshop CS4 and CS3. Do I have to download all versions in order or just the latest CS5 Design Standard?
Responses appreciated

I lost my contacts and calendar, and photos since the iOS update and and it states that my iPhone cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional 1 MB required). Also it shows that I am over capacity on my Capacity ruler but how do I unload some of that stuff so that I can increase my capacity and perhaps get this synching to work again.
So frustrating!!

On your iPhone go to settings>general>about and next to "Available" if you dont have much space then you will need to delete stuff on the phone to make room to take photos by deleting stuff on the phone.
In terms of syncing change what you are syncing and decide what you would really want and not want on your phone which would make what is syncing to the phone smaller.

How do I update iTunes without loosing my existing library ratings and playlists?

I am so tired of deleting the songs the program cannot find because I did an update! with over 7500 songs loaded this takes a while, I loose all my ratings and songs in my playlists. The songs don't go away I just have to add the file folder again so it can find the songs. Fine, but then I am left with over 7500 "duplicates" that were originally loaded with ratings and sorted into playlists. Anyone know about this?

The "missing file" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then say no when asked to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. I can provide a step by step guide if you give me the two paths.
In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps and locate the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links. Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

Lost registration no. and can't install FCE HD

When I try to install the software, I can't get beyond the pop-up for licensing/registration. Unfortunately, I've lost my packaging and don't know what to do about a registration no.
FYI, I bought the software from a seller on E-Bay. It was sold as new and the packaging looked fine (and the seller has a really good reputation).
Would appreciate any help!

Thanks (Merci) everyone for your replies.
I suspect it's more than a registration glitch. The registration pop-up doesn't even offer the option to register later. When I try to continue, it continues to pop up and I can't select a drive to install the software.
And no, I had not already registered the software with Apple. In fact, I can't find an "Installing FCE" guide in a DVD format.
Hmmm, (expensive) lesson learned. If an offer looks too good to be true, it probably is.
