In the project where the images should be - is there a current search criteria that is blocking the images from beign shown? It's very eacy to press Control+Number to make the current project show only rated images. At default, the search field above the thumbnail strip should show "Unrated or Better".

Lost photos in Aperture!

I recently imported images to Aperture from my camera (4 GB worth of photos), and after uploading, I deleted the pictures from the memory card in my camera, as I always do. But Aperture closed shortly after I added the new photos, and upon Aperture restarting, a window popped up saying something about an update (like the program had updated). But my pictures were gone! And not just the new ones I had added. Of the thousands of pictures I had stored in Aperture, only 20 are there now! It makes no sense. I can't find them anywhere. I have tried restoring the library, restarting my computer...I have searched everywhere on my computer that I know to look, and I cannot find the files anywhere! It's like thousands of pictures just disappeared. Anyone have any ideas of how I can get my pictures back?? I know that once something is on your computer it's almost impossible to completely remove it, but I have no idea where to locate these files....It says it is Aperture version 3.2.4, and I am running OS X version 10.6.8

The number one lesson here is: never delete anything without confirming that you have two copies elsewhere. I don't erase my cards until after I have uploaded to Aperture _and_ backed up the Aperture Library.
The first thing to do is make sure that Aperture is currently fully up-to-date and working.
The second thing to do is search your system for all Aperture Libraries. It may be that your Images are safe inside another Aperture Library. Use Spotlight to search for the Aperture Library file extension: ".aplibrary".
Open all of these and see if you find your missing Images.
Post back.
Good luck.

Lost photos and albums - help please!

Hello
I'm worried that lots of photos in my iPhoto are lost.
I have clicked on some albums and they are empty.
Plus, some other older albums just don't seem to be there.
I just stopped myself importing 3,000 pics (I am not sure how I started importing pics, or where they were coming from!) and am worried that this would be the cause.
I haven't used Time Machine for a while, but could I get my old albums from there?
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.

sorry - I thought I was clear
In the future do not select the erase button in iPhoto - in stead select to keep the photos and wait until at ldease one sucessful backup cycle has completed then use hte camera's format command to erase and reformat the SD card
for now
1 -- Back up your iPhoto library,
2 -- Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys
3 -- and launch iPhoto
4 --- rebuild your iPhoto library database
does different formatting with step numbers make it more clear?

Lost photos through aperture

When I created a new folder on the bar and added all my photo folders in it after sorting them all out and doing post production. I saved a copy in. A website folder with this folder not in my pictures. When I deleted my trash with the photos from my pictures in it all my photos were deleted and everything from this other folder. Anybody have any idea why?

hi ok Ill re write.
I re organised all my photos in seperate folers, a folder for each client, within that did a fol.der for NEFs, JPGs, TIFF a final folder and then Website folder for ones going on the website.
I then did post production for the website phorts and re saved in there deleting the old ones.
Once this was all done I saved each folder in a folder called photography ready to go on a hard drive.
As saved in that folder deleted out of my pictures and enpied the trash.
Then when I went into the created photography folder every single picture was gone?

IPhoto- force quit, lost photos

Yesterday I was uploading pictures from a recent trip off my Nikon D60 into my iPhoto library. The upload was almost finished and it asked me if I wanted to "keep originals" or "delete originals." I pressed "delete originals" as I always do to get the pictures off my camera and free up space. It's almost done deleting and finishing up the upload, but then my iPhoto freezes and stops responding, so I'm forced to force quit. I re-open my iPhoto and none of the pictures had uploaded. I check my camera and 4/5ths of my photos are gone. I uploaded the pictures I had left into my iPhoto and it worked.
But is there any way to get back the lost photos? Please help!

Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
It is strongly recommended that you never have iPhoto (or any other computer program) delete your photos for exactly the reason you are posting about - software or hardware failures can lose photos
A much better practice is to upload the photos the camera to iphoto and unmount the camera - verify that the photos are safe and sound in iPhoto and then use your Camera's format command to reformat the card thereby renewing the care format and erasing the photos
An even better practice is to use a USB card reader to upload your photos instead of the camera - it is safer and usually faster
Media Recover - http://www.mediarecover.com/ - probably can recover your photos - download it and run the trial version to see what you can recover - to actually recover the photos you must purchase the software

Lost photos in iPhoto? Please help?

My mac: OS X 10.8.2
My iphoto: iphoto '11 version 9.4.2
I uploaded some photos from my Canon eos 50D to iphoto. They were there that day, I was able to send a few to my friends and even watched the slideshow. So, they were definitely there.
However, today I checked the album again and they are gone.And funny how only 1 photo is left.
I checked the Masters folder and it's true that only that 1 photo is left in that folder.
I saw some other discussion about iphoto lost Canon photos.
Here are a few things I think may cause the problem:
     - I copied the iphoto library to a portable hard-drive ( WD elements ). When I connect the Canon camera to my Mac, I import the photos in the library that is IN that USB. I even remembered import the photos in my Mac, then copy that album in the USB, then delete the original album on mac from the Trash folder. Does this permanently delete those?
     - I remembered reset the date on my camera. Does this make the previous photos change somehow, and iphoto couldn't recognize them by dates?
     - I do have back up on Time Machine, but I can't restore those lost photos using the back up.
Thank anyone if you can help me with this problem

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

While editing photos in Aperture, I'm trying to make an "auto" adjustment to the exposure but the button is grayed out and consequently doesn't perform any function, please help! Thank you, Mike

While editing photos in Aperture, I trying to make an "auto" adjustment to the exposure,
but the "auto" button is grayed out and will not allow any auto function to take place.
Please help!
Thank you,
Mike

Mike, are you working with raw images?
For some raw images auto exposure is not available, have a look at this manual page:
http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter=18%26se ction=9%26tasks=true
Note: Automatic exposure adjustment is available for Aperture-supported RAW images only. If you want to adjust the exposure of another file type, such as JPEG or TIFF, see Working with the Exposure Controls. For a list of supported RAW file types, go to the Apple website at http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs.

How can I get Adobe to take over my computer to help with lost photos?

I have lost photos going from PC to Mac in Lightroom. Have tried all the standard stuff. How do I get Adobe to log into my computer remotely to help?

Adobe Support is for problems installing and licensing their software on your computer, not to fix something you’ve done by mistake, unless you pay for their support which will likely cost quite a bit.
If you can describe your issue here in more detail perhaps a forum user can help you.

HT5622 I lost all my pictures! Please help:( I added all my photo to a new album from the camera roll and i delete the picture that already move to new album, at last all my picture was gone !:'( Please, anyway to recover back all my photo? please help :'

I lost all my pictures! Please help:( I added all my photo to a new album from the camera roll and i delete the picture that already move to new album, at last all my picture was gone !:'( Please, anyway to recover back all my photo? please help :'( Apple Service Center or Branch can help?

Albums is a way or sorting photos. Photos aren't moved from the Camera roll. The Camera Roll consists of all the photos on the phone. If you delete from Camera Roll they are deleted everywhere but Photo Stream.
Are you using Photo Stream? Your photos, providing they wer recent should still be in Photo Stream. If you have Photo Stream set up on your computer they should all be there.

HELP -- Long lost photos-- found when installed i life 06

When I installed I life 06 it said that it found 2500 hundred photos in my library that were not imported in the library-- these were long lost photos i thought that i had lost forever-- around 600 hundred had been imported when my wife inadvertantly stopped the import process. How do I get iphoto to find these photos and begin the import process all over. Should I just reinstall i photo 06.
Thanks Ben

Hi tupp,
Try creating a new library and following the next instructions. All images that are in the old library should end up in the new library.
Since this is iPhoto 6 it might work differently so I am not sure of the results. Make sure you do this on a duplicate library folder. You can also drag out the Data folder first before you do the import because that contains large thumbnail files which you don't need or want to import as new ones will be made.
Oh, and the wording is now File>import to library
Close iPhoto
Rename your messed up iPhoto Library to "iPhoto Library_old"
Drag this library to your desktop
Hold down the Option key and launch iPhoto
This is the window you will get
Create a new library or choose a library to open
Choose to create a new library
Once this new empty library is open it is time to import the images from your old library
Go to File>add to library
Navigate to the old library on your desktop and highlight it in the window, then click the "open" button.
iPhoto will start importing the images from your old library
This is what to expect:
Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
Once all you images have been imported, check through the library and make sure everything looks ok.
You can now start making your Albums, and do your keywords or any other organizational steps.
You can also delete the old library on the desktop.
It is also a good time to backup this new library to CD/DVD by burning the iPhoto LIbrary folder in the Finder, or copying the iPhoto Library folder to an external drive formatted for Macs, or copying the iPhoto LIbrary folder to an iPod.
Good luck!

Lost data in Aperture - NOT recoverable through Time Machine!

I recently accidentally deleted photos in Aperture. Unfortunately, even though I backup regularly with Time Machine, I have come to find that Photos in Aperture libraries are non-recoverable.
Can anyone please help? Apple has no help topics for lost data.
Thanks in advance!
Glenn

The photos in the library are recoverable. But you will likely have to restore the library and then navigate through the library to get the photos. You can get to them by right clicking the library and choosing "Show Package Contents" and then navigating the the project and again right clicking to do "show package contents" and then access the RAW files. It will be a bit tedious.
It's a lot easier if you're using referenced masters.

Emailed photos not downloading - help!

Where do my emailed photos download to in the ipad2? I can't find them and/or they're not downloading correctly? HELP!

While the backup stores some if not all the photos in the camera roll (many users have lost photos when doing a restore from iCloud), the issue is that the user must somehow sync photos to their computers (e.g. via USB to iPhoto or Aperture on a mac or a specified folder on a PC) in order to back them up. Once on a computer, you can then move them to albums/folders as you like. But you must back them up to a computer to be sure they are safe. If you haven't done that, then chances are good that they are lost.

Apple tv 2 slow to update new photos from aperture (I mean hours)

Hi....
I have a large photo library within aperture 3.1.2, and I have an apple TV 2 that I use for casual browsing of the library.
The issue that I have is that when I add new photos to aperture, it can take a day or more until they show up in apple tvs photos.
Its almost as if apple tv is looking at an older version of my aperture library.
I have done a software update in the mac that serves apple tv, and also, ensured that apple tv is up to date. I've tried closing itunes, aperture, logged off, log on, rebooted apple tv 2 (by unplagging)- to no avail, restarted itunes, aperture, apple tv etc etc.
I just dont seem to be able to say to apple tv 2 the equivalent of "hey, go an refresh your view of aperture, there are new photos in there "
This is really frustrating, because the photos that i want to look at the most, are typically those that I have just taken.
Its really weird. As an other example, if i make a new smart album in aperture say "photos from last couple of days", with the obvious smart album selection criteria, then this too does not appear in apple tv 2 until a few hours later.
This smart album works as expected in aperture- no problems.
They will turn up later, but apparently with no rhyme or reason as to the timing.
I think its down to apple TV storing an older version of metadata for the aperture library.
I could understand it if I had no photos at all coming across, or if only photos with previews that come across, but no, it doesnt appear to be any setting such as that, becuase they will come over, eventually.
This appears to be a big bug- New photos cant be shown on apple TV for a day or two - grrrrrr.
Im pulling my hair out with it.
Any help really appreciated

Yes, I have the same issue also.
It look like only the last import is missing somehow.
For example, yesterday I import photos from DC and iPhone, and put them in one event.
Only the DC part shown up, and iPhone photo are missing.
If I use "Last 12 month" section in Apple TV and jump to bottom, you can see some empty squares, and not viewable. Somehow it is not updated.
