Missing videos after automatically "rebuilding library"

I took a bunch of photos and videos during xmas, and yesterday I wanted to take a picture and I got the message "rebuilding library". At the end of this I noticed my imovie project was missing videos and everything was in wrong order.
I am abroad during xmas and dont have access to a pc. I am worried I have lost a lot of my footage. Can anyone help me. Is there a recovery software or anything??
Just to clarify, I didnt ask it to rebuild my library. It just did it automatically when I accessed my camera roll.

File -> New Smart Album
Photo -> is -> Movie
will find all the movies in your Library.

How can i get all the missing artwork after transferring my library

Help i'm missing a load of artwork after transferring itunes library from old widows laptop to new imac. I have tried getting album artwork from the advanced menu but it hasn't found all of it only 70 album artwork out of 190 is showing!!!!! been trying for three days to transfer and get it all but to no avail Help!!!!!!!!!!

You need to transfer your iTunes library, not just the media.
Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from your old computer to /Music/ on the new computer.
Inside this folder, rename the iTunes library.itl file to iTunes library.
Launch iTunes.

MISSING Video after Time Machine Restore

Hi All.
I had a drive go bad and had to buy a new one and restore from Time Capsule. I am noticing that I am missing a slideshow video that I spend a good deal of time creating. I went from a 500 GB to a 1 TB drive which I assume does not matter. The slideshow was in a Project folder.
I also noticed that I am missing a recent import of about 20 images that were in this folder but I have to take a look to see if there are /other/ images from this same import that I put into different projects (I imported photos from a digital camera and I /moved/ them to the Projects they belonged within).
It is possible that I have a more recent backup on my external portable USB drive than was on the Time Capsule, and I am wondering if there is an easy way to search for this information either on my external USB or on the Time Capsule.
I can't honestly say /why/ this slideshow and the images are missing but they are...I /can/ see that the last import of photos may have been so recent as to not make a schedule TM backup but it seems very odd that the video that was on there for a number of days would not be in the backup...
Thanks. I'm new to mac and to Aperture.

Hi again.

Yes, I remember you working on that.
I went from a 500 GB to a 1 TB drive which I assume does not matter. The slideshow was in a Project folder.
The size won't matter.

In the Finder you can use the File>Find file command to search for the missing files. You can also use spotlight (cmd spacebar) to search for it.

There have been reports of a number of incidents using TimeMachine:
If it's on a wireless network it is unreliable - all wireless network disks are unreliable with Aperture.
If Aperture is running TimeMachine does not make any backups from it.
Backups are combined as the days and weeks go by. Some items will, inevitably, not be available after that.

6110 Navigator: Missing videos after closing camer...

Hello.
I was shooting some video scene, and in a rush, closed the sliding cover before pressing the "STOP" button. I thought that would save the captured video as well, but alas, the video file could not be found at all in the memory card. Pretty sad.
Does anyone have similar experience and a way to recover the unsaved videos (.mp4)? I have tried some pretty strong flashdisk recovery utils and only those files I have purposely deleted, can be seen and recovered.
Which led me to think - where does Nokia store the video cache, while shooting a video AND before saving it. Or does it write to the actual .mp4 file while shooting?
Thanxs for all your help.
Regards,
Roger

Hi folks,
I just purchased the 6110 Navigator, and was really impressed with the cool navigation software.
That is, until I discovered that it very frequently crashes with the following message:
"Closing applications" and then after a few seconds "Remove memory card and press OK"
I travelled for 4 hours yesterday, used the GPS maybe 20 minutes in total, and it crashed more than 10 times within this timeframe...
I'm running latest firmware version 03.58 (20-06-07)
I have a 2GB memory card, and have used Route66 sync to backup original card (Nordic maps), formattet new card in phone, and then restored original map with Route66sync. Also purchased maps "Eastern Europe" + Alps from Route66shop.
Both Alps and Eastern Europe maps crashes all the time. Havent testet Nordic maps yet.
I can provoke the crash by running "simulate route". The phone is then not moved at all. Simulation works OK for a random number of seconds, and then crash.
Any idea how this can be fixed?
And until I get it fixed, does it exist an S60 utility which let the phone redetect the memory card? I'm so fed up of turning the phone off/on or removing/reinserting the memory card now...

Hi There,
I have similar problem. The application crashes when I select "show on map" or try to navigate to any new destinations. When an old landmark is selected "show on map" works as well as navitation.
I have the latest software update and reloaded the maps. Is there a way to reload the application?
Thanks,
Ferdie

Missing videos after rendering

Hello!
I'm a newbie with After Effects.
I have the following problem: I have a After Effects Project file. In the folder Media Holders there are files with names MEDIA HOLDER 1, MEDIA HOLDER 2, etc. How do I replace them with my files? With right-click option is not available "Replace Footage" option. I use Set Proxy->File and on preview I see my video, but after rendering there is no my video.

Oh, thank you very much. I will try it soon

After a rebuild/repair of my photo library thumbnails are missing for RAW images.

Every few months I rebuild my iPhoto library to make sure the database stays clean and up to day. This time was different though - after the rebuild/repair of my photo library thumbnails are missing for all RAW images (Canon). Images from other cameras and jpegs are all fine. Only the events with Canon RAW images have no thumbnails.
I am rebuilding the thumbnails once again but has anyone else seen this issue? Losing thumbnails to RAW images during a rebuild?

There is no need to do this. It doesn't achieve anything.
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. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. It can take 3 or 4 goes for this to work

Missing Projects in Aperture 2.1.4 after database rebuild?

Had issues when editing a recent import in Aperture 2.1.4. I looked for help and followed this: I repaired permissions on my HD, then rebooted. I still had the same behaviors when working on the images so I tried the Aperture "Consistancy check". It said it was running a "Vacuum of Database" and then reopened Aperture. I decided to "rebuild the database" and finished my editing on that Project. Before I did the rebuild I did a Time Machine back up to an external HD. After I did the rebuild I did a Vault update. (My Library is Managed.) Later when searching for some photos that I had imported last year from my iPhone, I discovered that several iphone projects were missing. I searched the Library with Keywords, dates, etc and the files do not show up. I looked in deleted files from my last Vault. The only iphone files were ones that I had deleted back in Sept 2012. I did a spotlight search on my harddrive but could not locate files by names. I am talking about hundreds of photos in these projects. I know that I did some keywording and some have Instagram tag. Also, when I open Aperture it says that 466 Projects have not been backed up to the Vault and 19 files. (There has been one Project with those 19 files imported since the last Vault update.) In Aperture it says that I have 465 Projects and 27,578 images. The size of the Library is 180.28GB. The last Vault update is 154.7 GB. I think that the missing projects were imported at times from Sept 2012 through Dec. 2012.
How do I see if they are in a previous Time Machine backup and restore only those missing projects to Aperture? Is there a way to check the contents of my lst Vault back up? (I also do not want to lose my two recent imported and editted projects.)
I did just look at the contents (Show Package Contents) of my Aperture Library in the Finder and I can see the Library Folder in the my organization where they reside in Aperture and the icons with the named missing projects. I know that I should not mess with the package, but does this indicate that they are still on my harddrive? I also see some Albums that I remember making in the Dec 2012 Folder. They no longer show up in Aperture. It seems that somehow I ended up with an earlier version of my Aperture Library after my troubleshooting. I would love to get back to the earlier version of the Library and then add in the last two projects and edits that I added in Feb 2013. Those two projects, including the one that I was working on when all this began are still there, but I am at the very least missing many hundreds of photos of my family and travels that did reside in those Projects. Any help would be greatly appreciated. (I need to upgrade to Aperture 3 asap, but need to solve this first.)

Anyone recovered from a similar issue?
Yes, I have inadvertently discovered I have the same problem with TIFFs I created by scanning in some very old photographs as TIFFs three years ago. I did extensive work on the old photos to restore their quality. Three years ago, everything seemed to work fine including printing the TIFFs. I just discovered Aperture 2.1.4 and Aperture 3 can't find the managed masters even though I verified they are in the libraries!
Like you I don't need to salvage the masters since I can drag them out of the library; I want to export the versions so I have my retouching work saved. At least I can see the final work in Aperture 2 but in Aperture 3, all is white or black previews with its managed masters not found.

Imovie on my ipad ...refuses to recognize AVCHD Video. Also when i remove video clips already used in a project, it is unable to recognize missing clips after I've put them back. How do I get around these 2 issues?

My iMovie refuses to recognize, import, or work with AVCHD Video. It also refuses the same video clips even after I have converted them to Mp4. Also, when I delete a video clip already used in a project, then later import the same clip back to my ipad, the software is unable to recognize and find the clip again! Help! How do I get around these issues?

Hi Craig,
I also got the second problem. The storyboard on iMovie trailer has all these missing videos. If I import them on my iPad it doesn't find them.
If you find a solution it would be much appreciated to share it here ... I'll do the same.
Thanks,
Rafael

in iMovie, I can’t see my iPhoto videos in the event library. Why ? this is after updating to 10.7.4
also, if I want to use a picture in my movie, it says 'Open iPhoto to see photos from your iPhoto Library in this list.'
It never use to do this.

Powershot SX510 HS automatically stops recording video after 10 - 15 minutes into the recording.

Powershot SX510 HS automatically stops recording video after 10 - 15 minutes on continuous recording. Is there a way to turn this off? I would like to record videos until either I press the stop recording button, or the battery gets low. I have turned off all the power saving setting, at least I think I have.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The camera has some recording limitations as all the Canon models do. Below is how you can extend your recording times to a max of about 1 hour but there is a 4BG limit regardless so once it hits 4GB the recording stops and has to be restarted.
Also the memory card needs to be at least a Class 6 rating or the recording will stop sooner regardless of the clip size.
This is from page 161 of your manual

How do i keep the original manual sort of my photos that i had in previous library after a rebuild in iphoto library manager?

how do i keep the original manual sort of my photos that i had in previous library after a rebuild in iphoto library manager? and keep the events in the same order with blank events also

Not sure you can.
Library Manager creates an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.

Photo disappear after rebuilding library

Hi all,
It's very sad thing to happen on x'mas.. hope i can get some help here.
I don't know what cause the problem... so i'd better describe everything i've done.
My friend sent me some photos in his iphone to my email.
I then saved all those photos on my iphone.
I've checked them on camera roll after downloading..and it still works.
then i load the app "Polarize", and try to load the photos from camera roll.
Then it said there's no photos..
so then i went back to photo... it then started to "updating library" / rebuilding library...
then i waited... after rebuild...several hundreds of photos are gone...
I tried to restart...and they are still gone...
Since my laptop has taken to maintenance, it hasn't been backed up for a while now...
Please kindly suggest any solution...

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
