Lost videos in iPhoto when upgraded to OS X Lion

When I upgraded to OS X Lion, all my videos were removded from iPhoto, and had been moved to iMovie. At least I think they are all in iMovie, I actually don't know as there were several videos imbedded in different 'events' in iPhoto.
How do I make it so I can continue to store videos in iPhoto?
Thanks, Brian

There is nothing I can find any files even I looked at below...
Is it all disappeared?? I wasn't even asked anything before updated. I have a back up from Time machine..
Is there anything I can do to find my inbox filles??
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences. ( I did )
Click Spotlight. ( I did )
Click the Privacy tab. ( I did )
Drag a folder or an entire volume (your hard drive) to the list. ( I don't find any folder from my hard disk.
If prompted for confirmation, click OK. ( I can't go further than that... )
Remove the item or volume you just added to the list by clicking it and then clicking the minus ("-") button.
Close Spotlight preferences.
Spotlight will re-index the contents of the folder or volume.

I lost my Visual Voicemail when upgrading to iphone 5. New phone was set up from itunes backup of iphone4 but my Mac tells me there is an iCloud back up of my phone prior to this date. Will my Vis Voicemail be on this and can I get it on my new phone?

I lost my Visual Voicemail when upgrading to iphone 5. New phone was set up from itunes backup of iphone4 but my Mac tells me there is an iCloud back up of my phone prior to this date. Will my Vis Voicemail be on this and can I get it on my new phone?

I see. Apple's documentation on what is included in the iCloud backup doesn't explicitly say that it contains voicemails, but that doesn't mean it does not. You would just have to try restoring the backup to find out.
To restore to your iCoud backup you have to start by erasing the phone. Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. Then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup. You will then sign into your iCloud account, accept the terms and conditions, then choose the backup you wish to restore from. To see an older backup, you may need to tap "Show older backups" (see image below). Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.
If this does not recover your voicemails, you can check to see if you have an older iTunes backup that may contain them. Available backups are shown in iTunes Preferences>Devices on the Backups list.
If all else fails, you could try contacting your carrier. Voicemail is a carrier feature and they may have an archive you could access.

I lost all my data when upgrading my iPad to iOs5. App Store doesn't recognize that I already purchased pages. What can I do other than repurchasing?

It shows "You do not have any purchased apps available to download" Can I show apple the credit card receipts for apps purchased from them? How would I find any previous account login info?

When upgrading from OS X lion to OS X mountain lion will it automatically uninstall OS X lion

when upgrading from OS X lion to OS X mountain lion will it automatically uninstall OS X lion?

Yes. You download Mountain Lion from the App Store and, once the download is complete, the installation of Mountain Lion will begin. You can quit it at this point and backup the "Install OS Mountain Lion.app" (which I suggest) the double-click it and begin the installation.
All remnants of Lion will be gone and you'll be running Mountain Lion.
Good luck,
Clinton

When upgrading to os x lion, will all my files stay in place or what?

when upgrading to os x lion, will all my files stay in place or what?

Yes of course, Apple knows a users files are valuable and won't just go deleting them .
However, OS X upgrades can go bad due to unforeseen circumstances or special modifications people have done to their operating systems or even root level anti-virus installs like Norton.
If the upgrade goes bad, your operating system can become "bricked", requiring a lot more effort to recover your files.
Also third party programs like from Microsoft, Adobe and others may not be ready for OS X Lion, if you have any "mission critical" needs for the computer, it's best to wait several months, yes SEVERAL MONTHS, to make absolutely sure all the bugs are worked out of third party drivers, software, printers, scanners etc., and even OS X Lion itself.
Always backup your valuable data, to write protected cd/dvd's if all possible for the reason that humans, even myself I just recently learned, can very very easily erase data on re-writable media like hard drives due to human error.
TimeMachine is a somewhat ok image backup system, Carbon Copy Cloning of one's boot drive onto a external drive which is hold option bootable is great in case your hard drive dies, but for your most precious data, you really should be burning, labeling, dating and storing multiple cd/dvd's.

Problem import to iPhoto when upgraded to Lion!

Hello!
I've upgraded to Lion and now there is a problem when I try to import new photos to iPhoto!
When I drag a photo to the library it seems to go to the library but when I restart iPhoto it is gone...
I've pressed alt when I started so I got the option to create a new library and in the new labrary I created there was no problem...
I can of course reimport all my photos but I have done so much work so that I don't like to do :-)
I have tried to reinstall iPhoto also!
Please can someone help...
PS. The photo that I try to import i found in the master and thumbnail folder but is not shown in iPhoto when I restart as I mentioned above so there seems to be some linking problem...
Jan

Oh I found a solution in the forum that solved my problem... I write how I did so maybe someone else could be helped :-)
If you hold down alt (option) and cmd key you get the option to rebuild your library... I choosed both the first and the last option (1 and 6) and now it works....
Fantastic!

Why Store Your Videos In iPhoto, When You Have iMovie?

Is there any reason for storing/importing your digital camera movies into iPhoto, when you use iMovie? The only reason I can see is, it's quicker and easier to import them into iPhoto, along with your photos. But really, it doesn't make much sense them being in iPhoto, mainly because iPhoto can't play video.

I will simply add that the preference to use iMovie or iPhoto probably has a lot to do with how you shot videos and what you do with them.
For me, I have a lot of old Analog 8mm/Hi8 and then Digital8 tapes I have been importing and editing with iMovie for yeas now. I also now use a Flip MinoHD video recorder which works very nicely with iMovie. In all cases, I often do some bits of editing and iMovie is a natural choice for that and also is now a gosh dang swell cataloging application for all your videos.
That said, many people don't use a camcorder, only take occasional movie clips with their point & shoot digital camera (many of which make pretty good video these days) and never do any editing. So for those people, iPhoto is a natural choice to store the small handful of short clips they take in any given year that are never edited and occasionally emailed to relatives as is. iMovie is overkill for them and they don't need a separate app to store their 5 or 8 clips they took over the past year, 80% of them on that one vacation in August.

Lost videos in iPhoto during transfer when computer crashed??

I was transferring videos from my iphone 4s to my Powerbook G4 and by default it transfers to my iPhoto account. A prompt came up that the photos (and videos) were transferred sucessfully and asked me if I wanted to keep or delete the photos from my phone. I chose to delete the photos from my phone to make room. In the process of deleting the data from my phone, the computer crashed. When I opened iphoto again the vidoes and pictures that I thought were successfully transfered were no longer there. Please tell me that there is a way to recover this imformation, because it is no longer showing up on my phone and I've checked the trash in iPhoto and on my Mac and nothing is there. I've searched and searched iPhoto and it's definitely not there. This was footage just recorded and no backup on the phone or the computer was recently backed up. Please help.

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see when iPhoto opens?
what fixes have you tried?
where is you library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Lost some calendars themes when upgrading iPhoto to '11.

Hello, I've upgraded iPhoto (Provided with Snow Leopard) to '11. Now, unfortunately, I lost some themes.
Especially in calendar I've now only; Picture Calendar, Colored Paper, Big Dates, Modern Lines, Travel, Vintage, Formal and Classic.
I'm missing at least Kid's Cutouts (also missing Paper Animals).
Since this are the most important (for me) themes in iPhoto I would like to get them back.
I've reinstalled iPhoto as described in some post, also look in Library / iPhoto /themes folders where the missing theme can be found.. but no success until now to have them back in iPhoto itself.
I'm now wondering how I can restore them?… Grand Parent loved the calendar last year and want one for this year too :-D
Hoping I will correct that issue before new year ;-)
Thanks All

These are the calendar themes available with iPhoto 9.4.3:
There is a Kids theme. What version of iPhoto are you running?

Lost messages in inbox when upgrade to Tiger

I just installed Tiger and lost all the messages in my inbox except the ones that were still on my mail server and could be reloaded into my mailbox. How do I get my lost messages back?

The conversion from Mail 1.x to Mail 2.x is broken. Take a look at the following thread to better understand the problem:
Help! "You need to take this account online in order to download it."
In particular, you may want to take a look at the following article (also referenced in that thread) to learn what you might have done before upgrading to minimize the risk of this happening, and what you may do after fixing the problem to avoid similar issues from happening in the future. DON'T do now what the article suggests, though, as that would make things worse in the current situation:
Overstuffed mailbox is unexpectedly empty
More specifically, if this is a POP account, the following procedure should allow you to fix the Inbox problems:
1. Quit Mail.
2. Make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong while trying to fix the problem. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
3. Create a new folder on the Desktop and name it however you wish (e.g. Inbox Old). It doesn't need to have an .mbox extension.
4. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/INBOX.mbox/.
5. Move the files mbox and Incoming_Mail out of INBOX.mbox, into the Inbox Old folder just created on the Desktop. These files contain all the messages that were in the mailbox before the upgrade to Tiger, and maybe even some messages that had been deleted. mbox is the most important. Incoming_Mail may or may not be present.
6. Move any strangely-named Messages-XXXXXX folder to the Desktop (not into the Inbox Old folder). These folders are to be deleted after fixing the problem. They are temporary folders created during an import or an indexing process, and Mail should have deleted them when done. Their presence is a clear indication that something didn't work as expected. If you've been using Mail after the conversion and have already tried to fix the problem by rebuilding the mailbox or something like that, they might contain messages that are neither in Messages proper nor in the mbox file, so keep them around until the problem is fixed.
7. Move everything else within INBOX.mbox, except the Messages folder, to the Trash.
The result of the above should be that INBOX.mbox contains the proper Messages folder only, and the Inbox Old folder on the Desktop contains the mbox and Incoming_Mail (if it exists) files only. Now, proceed as follows:
8. Open Mail.
9. The account's Inbox should properly display in Mail as many messages as *.emlx files are in ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/INBOX.mbox/Messages/. If that's not the case, select the mailbox in Mail and do Mailbox > Rebuild.
10. In Mail, do File > Import Mailboxes, choose Other as the data format, and follow the instructions to import the Inbox Old folder that's on the Desktop. Do with the imported mail whatever you wish. You may move to the account's Inbox the messages that Mail failed to convert properly, and delete those that did get through and, hence, are duplicates now.
The following collection of AppleScripts has a Remove Duplicates script that can be useful for removing duplicate messages:
http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
If all is well and you're not missing anything, the files on the Desktop can be deleted, although you may want to keep them for a while, just in case.
Ask for any clarifications or if you need further assistance.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user's home folder.

Lost Photos on iPhoto 09 upgrade

Hello,
Sorry if this is redundant, just upgraded to iphoto 09 from 08. Seems I've lost almost all of our photos with the upgrade. I don't see them in our previous library folder or anywhere on the HD for that matter. Hopefully I'm not looking in the correct place. Most are backed up on cd, but not all. Can I recover them somehow? Any help would be appreciated.
I upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard yesterday, then added the iLife package tonight. I Should have backed up the photos prior, but I didn't think. Any help?

Macblaque
I cannot restore the old Library, it says the iPhoto Library was created with a newer version of iPhoto and asks me to upgrade my iPhoto.
What is going on???
Where are you restoring from? Time Machine? Another back up utility?
This message is often a symptom of a damaged database file:
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, faces and places 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.
Regards

Why did I lose my iPhoto when upgrading to Mavericks. I have a mid 2009 13" Macbook Pro

My version of iPhoto is not working after upgrading to Mavericks OS

I have the exact same issue. Mid 2010 MBP. I ran software update before the upgrade, ran the upgrade, no longer have iLife / iWork (Garage Band, Pages etc) all gone.
All I can think to do is dig out my disks which are burried away with the box.
Ive upgraded the through Lion, Leopard etc and this has not happened. Also, JRE/JDK uninstalled itself so I had to reinstall that and Netbeans.
All in all a pretty crap update. Losing iPhoto is a pain in the neck and really should not have happened. I have an email out with App Store support. I am not paying £10+ to re-download something I already technically own!
