Lost projects after reinstallation

My computer got the software reinstalled, and I have lost everything - including the programme iPhoto and the projects and pictures in it.
Is there any way to recreate at least the iPhoto projects?
In addition: The books have been ordered once. Could they perhaps be saved from the order information or something? Or at least reordered?

You have to restore the applications and your iPhoto Library from your most recent backup you made before the system was reinstalled.
If iPhoto has been bought from the AppStore, reinstall it from the "Purchased" tab of the AppStore. Make e sure, you are using the same AppleID you used, when you bought it originally.
But to recover your photos you need to restore the iPhoto Library . If you use Time Machine, try this:

Lost Projects after FCP X crash

I have lost two projects after a crash of FCP X, both on different external drives.
FCP X begins going slow and then freezes and then closes, when I reopen it and try to find the project I was just working on, it is gone! I have searched all over and cannot find it. When I try to update events and projects (under file) it is not there.
Help! This is about 8 hours of work lost.

This helped recover one of my missing projects from one of my external hard drives, but when I attempt the same process to recover a different project from a different external hard drive, this warning appears:
I did the exact same thing as with the other project/drive and for some reason this one is not working??

IMovie Lost project after

First and foremost my MacBookPro Operates on OS X Version 10.9.4 ...
I was working on an iMovie for a really loooooong time and my computer got really hot and just froze up completely ... I tried letting it sit but eventually had no other choice then just manually powering it off. When I turned it back on it asked if I wanted to restore the programs I had running (which the only one that was running was iMovie) I clicked yes... when iMovie was reopened the event with all the footage and content was still there but the movie project was gone... I just about cried.
I looked on other Apple Forums for this and tried the process of locating the com.apple.iMovieApp.plist file in the Library but that didn't work...
Any solutions that will actually work would be AMAZING!

Hi
A. To get it back - Have no idea - Most probably not - As I see it there is more than one problem here if the project got lost e.g. moving of other folders as iMovie Event's and iMovie Projec's - CANT DO THAT on desktop as this results in broken links back to iMovie = most probably hard to impossibly to mend.
Moving Event's and Project's must be done WITHIN iMovie application AND ONLY TO Hard Disks (or ev. USB Memories) that are Mac OS Extended (hfs) Formatted ! UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange WILL NOT DO for Video (even if You use FinalCut - it doesn't work - must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted)
B. There are no copies of any material in any iMovie Project's at all - the Project is just a short TEXT document describing What material that is used (Movie's, Photo's and Audio's) and where they are stored e.g. iPhoto Library, iTunes or in iMovie Event's. So if audio on an Audio-CD or USB-memory is used - the pointers in the Project points to this storage and if it is ejected - info is broken.
I do first
• create a folder named as my movie
• in this I put my photos and audio files
• then I use these files in my movie projects + video from Event's window.
THIS folder can not BE MOVED - so I put it from start in my User Account and here in Movie folder. But that's me.
All my photos are .jpg ONLY
All my audio is .aiff ONLY - NO .mp3 or other alient format - I use AudaCity (free on Internet) to convert all to .aiff 44.1kHz or 48kHz 16-bit.
C. But why Your project disappeared - is strange - My guess is that iMovie pref. file got corrupted - If You made Force Quit or Panic Halt - this use to be a major reason to this.
I trash the pref files - AND
Run Repair Permissions - Disk Util tool
to keep my Mac happy.

Lost project after upgrade to 7.1.2

Hi,
I was working on a large project, including pics and DV-video.
To be sure the result was going to be OK, I did an export. In the meantime, I upgraded iMovie to 7.1.2
I now want to continu working on my project, but I can't seem to find it.
The export plays fine in iDVD, but is incomplete. Please help. Geert

Within "settings", once you select iCloud there are multiple options to select to backup and "notes" is one of them. So it leaves you assuming you can back them up as well but after reading the literature that is not one of the items backed up along with others such as photo stream, contacts etc.

Lost contacts after reinstalling - where are they stored on a mac

My mac book pro crashed on me, so I reinstalled OS 10.5.8. I had all my files backed on an external harddrive, but now my palm desktop(palm 505 - software version 4.2.1) is empty, and my palm handheld is also empty. Where can I find all my contacts on my mac? hope someone can please help me!!!
thanks in advance!!
Post relates to: Palm V

thanks for that info - I didn't know that about finding the library in 10.8 (obviously) -- and I was able to find the library and navigate my way to my catalog -- it looks like it's fine - in fact I was able to run the catalog manage, repair, optimize etc and it says everything is fine - however when I restart PSE and the organizer, my photos are still all missing from the albums.
too late now, but tomorrow, I'll try to see if I can find that catalog in yesterday's time machine back up -- do you know if that's possible?
I'm not really sure what happened - because when I started out today, things seemed to be working fine - it wasn't until I tried to add a new album that I discovered the issue with the missing photos.
truthfully I don't care about the albums - they would be easy to reconstruct -- but I'd like to be able to delete the names of them and start again - but I can't seem to find info on how to do that. the book I have doesn't give that basic kind of info - more info on using the tools to be creative.
thanks so much for your help - you're very knowledgeable about PSE!!! and Mountain Lion which I've only been using for a few months.
cheers, Lynne

Thank you.

So you have business contacts that were lost... do you not have these on a Database in some shape or form? Sounds like you need to invest in a RAID1 backup setup for your computer so you dont have this issue in the future.
As for repairing your problem, sounds like you are going to need to start from scratch at this point or if the data is still on your phone look into a program that can take the information from the phone onto iTunes.

Hi Memalyn
Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

Can't find home drive after reinstallation of O.S.X

Dear friends,
I have one ibook G4 and a Macbook Pro. Two days ago, the ibook G4 failed to start up, I tried in safe mode then pass through. Then I run Onyx-automation followed by restart, after that neither my desktop nor the sidebar of the finder window show the home drive icons,( I partitioned the internal hard disk into two drives). But when I run Disk utility and found both are there correctly, including the files and capacity, usage etc. it tested both drives "appears OK". Yesterday, I tried to reinstall O.S.X Tiger 10.4 without removing previous system via a firewire to my Macbook Pro which installed with Leopard( the disc drive of my ibookG4 corrupted last year).
finally, the hard drives are still invisible, I did tick the display options for hard disks from the preference panel of Finder. To the worse, the same problem happened to my Macbook Pro after I restarted it.
It seems a simply software issue, physically the hard disks are ok through the disk verify and permission verify.
Headache! Please advise ASAP.
thank you,
macbook pro Mac OS X (10.5.4)

what happens when you enter commandshiftc in finder? that should show all the drives. if it doesn't, maybe the drive has acquired the hidden flag. run the following command in terminal
sudo chflags 0 /
you'll have to enter your admin password which you won't see as you type it. that's normal. see if the drive shows up.

hi, V.K.
after running the two commands, suddenly, The Macintosh HD icon showed up at both desktop and sidebar in finder, but the other drive (I partition into two parts) still not showing. Then I open Onyx and tick the "unhidden those hidden files", I found that drive. So I conclude it was hidden by sth. But I don't know how to unhidden it, the icon always in grey.
Can you please instruct again.
thank you.

aha, so it was a hidden flag after all. then run
sudo chflags 0 /volumes/*
you may need to restart after that to make the second drive show up.

sorry, I haven't dealt with Tiger in such a long time I don't remember if it respects chflags. ask on Tiger forums.

I don't have a source attribute for this (maybe I wrote it myself!):
There are visibility toggling instructions at [this web site|http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/invisible.html] using Terminal or Applescript.
If you don't like Applescript or Terminal there is an application called [JuhOS X|http://www.saunalahti.fi/~juhruo/juhosx> that lets you toggle visibility on individual items. It does not have the most intuitive interface but your drive should appear on the first page. Check it really is invisible, then click on the drive and toggle visibility. Effects will not take place until you restart your finder, so the easiest thing to do then will be to restart your computer.

Missing apps after reinstallation

Hi,
I reinstalled the Nokia Belle on N8 after there was some space issue based on recomnedation from Customer support i am missing Need for speed application. I checked in Nokia Ovi store app i can find it , if i restore my backup i will still be having space issue on C i think. any suggestions are welcome.
Regards
K.R
KR

If you mean Need For Speed tha comes pre-loaded with N8-00,
and you lost it after the belle update, then its pretty Normal.
Suggestions(as you said): If you backed up via Nokia Suite then there are 100% chances that you will face the same space issues again.
To avoid these, Restore the BackUp you took.
Then connect you phone in Mass Storage mode & manually move all the files in your PC. from E:/ & F:/ both.
Now! do a hart reset & also format your Mass memory & memory card.
This will clean up all your space.
Now again connect phone in Mass storage mode.
And manually move your back-up files in your phone from PC.
NOTE: Do not move folder's like - cities, data, i18n, Nokia_Belle, tmp, logs, private etc.
As these are used by Built-in Apps & other 3rd party apps. So no need to backup those folders, as they will be auto created when you start installing fresh apps.
Always install apps, games, themes In your Mass memory or Memory card.
Always reserve C:/ for Nokia apps only.
In Love with Nokia, Symbian & N8-00

Hi,
Sounds like it isn't to serious. the Bluetooth connection had an error and that is that generated
the Problem report.
When the Blackberry started to use Bluetooth the "gold standard" was using Microsoft's
"native" windows drivers. Now, every major PC company has there own version
Thus the problem report.
There is rather involved and lengthy procedure to check and install the correct Bluetooth drivers
in the Dell, but I really don't think you want to take that on.( Nod you head and say H*LL YES)
Here is what I propose;
The problem report needs to be resolved or it wont go away. Read the manual, call Dell,
try apologizing to it and that you'll never never do it again, what ever it takes!
Make the best investment you can make for your Blackberry, buy a media card.
All the memory in the BB is dynamic, this facilitates the functions of the phone.
By storing media in that memory, you effect are wasting X amount for file storage.
Store all media and files on the media card, and you will have a smooth running device.
They run about $25.00usd, they are easy to install, and they also make moving your
media a snap. You will need the USB adapter that came with it, but you can get that at
your local carrier store.
So if you agree with this I need some info.
On the Blackberry go to the options icon,click then scroll up to ABOUT.
I need your software version number, it's listed in this format: 4.x.x.xxx.
Send it back to me and I can tell you what size card you can get.
Let me know your thoughts!
Thanks,
