My iphone movies have disappeared

hi,
just going through my aperture library and have noticed that a large number of my albums have lost all iphone movies.  they simply appear as black images and nothing happens if they are clicked. 
Please can you help - as you can image, I do not want to loose these.  I have a timecapsule plus a number of backups, but this is the first time i have really looked and noticed that they are missing.
I have a macbook pro retina 15 inch with  aperture 3.4.5
thanks
John

What is the iPhoto version you are having, John? Assuming it is iPhoto '11, I'd suggest to open the library in iPhoto, create a smart album with all videos  (File > New Smart album > Photo is Movie).
Then select all videos in the album and use the command "File > Export" and select "Kind is original", and use the original filename.
Direct the movies to a folder in your Pictures folder, where they are not likely to be accidentally deleted.
In Aperture select the videos with missing original files and use the command "File > Locate original File(s)".
See the Aperture user Manual on how to use the "Locate original files" dialog panel:
Aperture 3 User Manual: Working with Referenced Images
Scroll down to the paragraph: "To reconnect an offline referenced image".
After reconnecting the offline originals, you can consolidate them into the Aperture library, so they will be managed by Aperture.  (File > Consolidate)

  • Itunes and all my movies have disappeared,i can no longer add to library from my external hdd which ive always used and can only add from the laptops own hard drive,any ideas what the issue could be?

    ive recently updated, itunes and all my movies have disappeared,i can no longer add to library from my external hdd which ive always used and can only add from the laptops own hard drive,any ideas what the issue could be?if i transfer the movies from the external to the laptop they will add to the library without any problem so theres no issue with the laptop but when i go to add file in itunes i can path to the external but as soon as i select the file nothing happens, just goes back to itunes

    This 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 cancel when asked to try 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.
    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 .

  • Where are my movies? Purchased movies have disappeared.

    Hi All,
    I have just discovered that some of my movies have disappeared from the cloud. No warning. Nothing. I had many of my movie backed up on a hard drive but it failed recently. No worries I thought. Rebuild from the cloud. Nope.
    It would seem that when the licensing agreements between Apple and a film maker end the movies are gone. This means movies I have paid for are gone. Sorry sucker. You lose.
    If Apple had at least sent an email warning of the end in license to allow people to download a movie before it was lost I would not feel so betrayed. Can you imagine someone walking into your house and taking something from you that you purchased a few years ago? Sounds like theft does it not? At the very least fraud.
    I am very disappointed in Apple. Lesson learned. iTunes is dead to me.

    Your assumption is incorrect, the store's terms say that you may not be able to redownload an item :
    As you may not be able to subsequently download certain previously-acquired iTunes Eligible Content, once you download an item of iTunes Eligible Content, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage it, and you may want to back it up.
    And some items (i.e. audiobooks and tones) are not redownloadable whether or not they remain in the store. Any other item could be removed at any time, as far as I know the rights-holder does not have to give Apple any notice that they will be doing so.

  • My Movies have Disappeared

    I just ran the latest iTunes Update and the movies I had in VIDEO have disappeared.  I tried moving them from my hard drive over and it does not transfer.  Help?!

    I found them.  You have to swith the icon on the Top Right corner from Music to Movies. They are no longer housed under VIDEOS.

  • IPhoto movies have disappeared from iMovie 09

    Hello,
    I have been using iLife '09 for several months now. Up until a week ago, videos from my camera that were in iPhoto have always appeared in iMovie under "iPhoto Videos". These have now disappeared... how could this have happened and how do I get them back? iMovie would always automatically search for movies in iPhoto and create thumbnails and it now tells me there are "No Matching Videos" when I select "iPhoto Videos".
    The projects that I created with these videos remain in my project library and I can edit them.
    Any help is much appreciated...

    Woohoo!!! What a great tip. I've searched high and low for a solution to this and found miles of posts that didn't disclose this simple fix. Per your tip, I turned the music off for all my iPhoto slideshows (I only have 4) and, like magic, this triggered iMovie to rebuild the clip thumbnails. Now my iMovie "iPhoto Videos" is populated with all my clips neatly organized by iPhoto event. Neat!

  • My iPhone notes have disappeared

    Hey guys, I have got a bit of a situation here. I am using iPhone 5 on iOS 8.1.2 . Two days ago I used my Notes appllication and all my previous notes were there in their place.Sadly,yesterday I opened the Notes app and there was nothing in it. Absolutely nothing, ALL MY NOTES ARE GONE, I had some very importatant stuff there and I desperately need it,but they are all gone.
    I have never used the iCloud account for Notes syncing. Today I went to an authorized Apple service here in Bulgaria and they told me about that iCloud syncing thing, but I have never used it, even when I tryied to turn ON the notes syncing it needed me to set up an iCloud email.
    I have Yahoo mail account in my Mail app, but still I have never ever used the notes syncing on that one too.
    I know I can use a back-up,but that is not a sollution to me for now.
    Can anyone help me figure out my problem and solve it.
    THANKS

    Hi Bran, no the notes relate to the notes field in my contacts only (not associated email account)
    The associated email accounts do not have options like iCloud / therefore no notes toggle for that ac

  • My notes on my iPhone 4s have disappeared.

    All of my 40+ notes are gone. I tried to sync via iTunes, to no avail.
    Can I restore from an earlier backup?
    Thanks!

    Thanks, but I already used that page and there is only one adress ([email protected]).
    I already found out, that I used my Gmail account for the notes. I can see, most of them but not all, when I sign in on my computer with a webbrowser. But I can't see them on my Iphone (settings->mail, contacts, calendar->Accounts is Gmail for the notes and settings->notes->standardaccount is also Gmail). Don't know where the problem is .
    Maybe it helps if I throw my iPhone against a wall and buy one from an other manufacturer...

  • ITunes Movie Rentals disappear from iPhone a day after transfer from Mac

    OK, this has happened to me twice now. Here's the scenario:
    I have a long, international flight. I rent multiple movies so that I can have films to watch both to and from the destination.
    I browse for the movies on my Mac (OS X Lion, current release)
    I rent four movies on my Mac.
    I then transfer them, one at a time, to my iPhone--a 4S with 5.0.1. (I do this because in earlier releases, a movie would sometimes disappear if I tried to sync more than one movie at a time).
    After it's done, I see four movies listed on myiPhone in the Videos app.
    About 2 days later, I look at iTunes and decide to load some audiobooks. I look at the Movies tab and it shows only one rental movie on the iPhone, the last movie transferred. The other three movies are nowhere: they do not show as on the Mac or on the Phone.
    I check the phone. Only the one movie is present.
    At no point did I start to play any of the movies. It appears that the first three rental movies transferred disappeared from the phone as if they expired 24 hours after the transfer.
    And--just to make it fun--this is the second time the exact same scenario has played out. I had a long international flight at the end of September and on iOS 4 the same thing happened before that flight. All but the last movie transferred vanished from the phone after a day.
    Anyone else run into this issue?
    FYI: I have contacted support to see if I can get a credit for the "lost" rentals. But as of now I'm afraid to transfer rented movies to my phone.

    Yep.  Me too. Getting ready to fly overseas. My iTunes on my computer says they are on my iPad, but they aren't. How does that work when I can't 'find them' anywhere on my iPad?
    3 rentals lost.

  • I just backed up my 3gs iphone using itunes.  All my photos and contacts have disappeared from my phone.  I am unable to locate them on my computer.  HELP!!!

    I just backed up my 3gs iphone using itunes.  All my photos and contacts have disappeared from my phone.  I am unable to locate them on my computer.  HELP!!!

    OK, I understand.  Try this ... it's much safer.  It will simply restore your backup, but not do anything to your iOS:
    While your iPhone is plugged in to iTunes, right click on the iPhone icon on the left side of the iTunes display.
    Choose "Restore from backup ..." from the pop-up menu that appears.
    Again, what this will do is place that backup back on your iPhone without changing iOS.  So you should be very confident in the backup contents before doing this.

  • My iphone 4s is importing contact information from FB and my email account.  When I pull up my contacts it only shows e-mail information and the phone numbers have disappeared.  How do I get my old contact list back with the phone numbers?

    My iphone 4s is importing contact information from FB and my e-mail account.  When I try to look at my contact list it is showing everyone I have on those lists and it only shows their email addresses.  The phone numbers for my contacts have disappeared and I don't know how to get them back.

        Hi macmac57. I don't memorize my numbers anymore, so I know how important it is to have all your contacts on your phone at all times. Did an update occur or a new application download when your contacts disappeared? Have you been backing up your device with your computer? You can try to restore your contacts from your last backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Are you syncing your iPhone between multiple computers? This can sometimes create issues with your contacts. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1474
    If you were already using iCloud to back up your contacts, check out http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998 for some great tips from Apple.
    I do hope this has been helpful for you to restore your contacts.

  • I have downloaded IOS7 on my iPhone and all calendar events have disappeared. The general functions of the calendar have changed and are definitely not 'user friendly'. How can I retrieve my calendar events. Will Apple improve the calendar function

    I have downloaded IOS7 on my iPhone and all calendar events have disappeared. The general functions of the calendar have changed and are definitely not 'user friendly'. How can I retrieve my calendar events. Will Apple improve the calendar function or revert to the previous system. Even the typing function on IOS 7 is faulty - very slow to respond to the keyboard. I no longer enjoy using my iPhone. Can anyone assist. Thank you

    Very strange! All of my calendar events have reappeared. This has happened one week after downloading iOS 7
    The calendar however,  is not easy to use.
    The typing function on the phone has  become even slower. Have to wait for each letter to show on screen.

  • On my iPhone, I have songs from a CD that I bought and no longer haev. I now have a new computer and it is telling me that to move songs that I only have on my computer, I must erase all of the music from my iPhone. Help!

    On my iPhone, I have songs from a CD that I bought and no longer have. I now have a new computer and it is telling me that to move songs that I only have on my computer, I must erase all of the music from my iPhone (It also says that my phone is already synced with another computer so it has to download everything). I would like to keep all of the music on my Phone and still be able to have these songs from my computer on my iPhone. Help!

    The iPhone is not a storage device. iPhone is designed to sync with 1 computer and
    iPhone sync only one way computer -> iPhone except content bought from iTunes.

  • How do I find all my contacts that have disappeared from my iphone and computer?

    I have an iphone 4s   IOS 8.02 and a 27" late 2013 Imac OSX 10.9.5. All my contacts have disappeared.
    Where did they go? How do I get them back?

    If you are syncing them with iCloud, try going to Settings>iCloud on your phone, turn Contacts off, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted, then turn it back on and choose Merge.
    If that didn't restore them, you may be able to restore them from your iCloud backup by following this user tip: Recovering deleted iCloud contacts from an iCloud backup.
