Photos just disappeared from library - iphoto2

I only noticed that my collection of photos had disappeared when I uploaded a new batch from camera. I simply cannot find them anywhere on my computer.
Recent changes to my habits:
1. I was recently in Paris using my hotel's WIFI and I uploaded a batch of photos from camera
2. I recently did a series of tasks on cocktail - doesn't seem likely there's a connection with the disappearance though.
I guess they're gone forever?
But why after 5 years would they desert me?

TD:
Yes I've looked in 'Pictures', used spotlight with some keywords and I've done a random check of other folders in HD.
I've got an Olympus Master app. and HP Photosmart Studio which have photo editing facilities but all my checks there draw blanks too.

  • HT5085 I have found that at least 3 music videos that I had previously purchased are not available in my I-tunes music video list.  I paid for them over a year ago, why are they not accessible, and why did they just disappear from my lists?

    Have you deleted anything from your iTunes library ? Have you checked to see if they are still on your computer, but not listed in your iTunes library ?
    If not then do they show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage for redownloading ? If they don't show there and others do and they are still in your country's store, then check to see if they are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    If they are no longer in your store for redownloading (or you aren't in a country where music videos can be redownloaded) then you will need to copy them back from your backup of your library/downloads.

  • All of my photos have disappeared from PSE Organizer 13 (after I upgraded it).

    All of my photos have disappeared from PSE Organizer 13 (after I upgraded it).  The files are all on the HD.  When I try and reimport them, Organizer says they are already in there and will not allow me to proceed.  When I highlight a keyword, Get the message  "NO MEDIA TO BE DISPLAYED".  Perhaps I am dense, but I find the Search function of the Forum to be near useless, unless I just happen to type the Exact name of a topic.
    I now have no access to perhaps 35,000 files from 12 years of using PSE!

    Which operating system are you running on?   Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
    Which version did you upgrade from?  updated from PSE 13 to PSE 13.1
    In the organizer, which view are you using - in the View menu is Details checked or unchecked - does it make any difference?  was unchecked now checked.  Now can see the other files, but the Keyword tags that I had attached in the past does not bring up the selected frames.
    In the View menu, select Media types - are all checked?  At this point I have only Ohotos and videos checked
    In View menu, select Hidden Files - is Show All Files checked?  yes
    I'm assuming that you are in Media view, what happens if you select People Places or Events?  get groupings of files with those keywords.

    Thanks Brian, at least some of my problems are gone, just can't get the keyword sorting to work correctly

  • Downloads just disappear from the specified location such as "Desktop" or "My Documents".They are untraceable afterwards.Why does this happen?And because of this I have uninstalled Firefox and now use Chrome.

    I have been using Firefox for almost a year now,and had upgraded to Version 7 recently.
    My problem started with the downloads.
    1) When a download is to be commenced,a box appears with two options,namely "SAVE" and "CANCEL".
    Even when I click on "SAVE",the the box shows it as 'cancelled'.When I right click on the box,another dialogue box appears with a number of choices ,the top one reads 'RETRY'.
    When I click this option the download starts and it is shown in the chosen location until 99% is completed,bu the moment the download is complete,the item i.e. the downloaded item just disappears from the chosen location and is not traceable thereafter.This has happened to me repeatedly over the past week or so and I am so disgusted that I have been compelled to uninstall Firefox,and have started using Chrome.
    Please help,as I would like to get back to using Firefox again but without the above problems.

    Understood.  However, the point that I'm trying to make is that it's not the WiFi access point's security that's in question, it's having your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode that's in question.  It's simple: if your phone's WiFi is on, then it is both discoverable and hackable... even when it's not connected to a WiFi network or access point.  Here's an article about a drone in London that was created to hack smartphone WiFi signals (and hackers have been doing what this drone does for years):
    http://money.cnn.com/2014/03/20/technology/security/drone-phone/
    The point is that it's not  secure to have your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode.  It would be better for privacy and security if Apple made WiFi location aware so that it is only enabled when you are at a trusted location (e.g. your home or office).  Or, at least give us the option of location aware WiFi so that each user can determine the best mode for their phone:
    (1) Always-On (current default - not secure and many privacy issues).
    (2) Trusted mode (only on at trusted locations).
    (3) Off.

  • Facetime is just disappeared from my iphone 6 can anybody help me out plz

    facetime is just disappeared from my iphone 6 can anybody help me out plz

    Where did you get the phone? FaceTime is banned in some countries in the Middle East. What had you done before it disappeared; did you possibly reset or restore the phone?
    If the above is not the issue, if you use Search by dragging down your finger from the center of the screen and you search for "Facetime" does it appear as an app? If it does, then you must have moved it into a folder or another page of the Home screen. If it is in a folder the folder name will be displayed.

  • My notes just disappeared from IPOD and Mail.  Can anyone help me recover them?

    My Notes just disappeared from IPOD and Mail.  It may have been after a sync.  Can anyone help me recover them?

    Looks that something has gone wrong with the reset as you still have Firefox profile folders with a date/time stamp that a reset creates, but are using a regular default profile.<br />
    Such a new default profile is likely to have been created because of a problem with the profiles.ini file (if profiles.ini is missing the Firefox will create a new default profile).
    Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
    You can look at the time stamps or check the name of the JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder.

    Hello r253,
    The following troubleshooting steps can help get your documents to reappear on your devices.
    Documents I've updated on my Mac or uploaded from iCloud.com don't appear on my iOS device
    If you're using an iWork for iOS app (Pages, Numbers, or Keynote), check the iCloud system requirements and make sure that you're using the latest version of iWork. For third party apps, check the documentation that came with the app, or check with the app developer to make sure the app supports iCloud. App Store application descriptions often indicate whether the app supports iCloud.
    Go to Apple () menu > System Preferences on your Mac. Click iCloud and confirm that you're signed in to iCloud and the Documents & Data checkbox is selected.
    After opening your iOS app, wait a few minutes for the documents to appear. Your iOS device may not have connected to iCloud since changes were made to the document at iCloud.com or on your other devices.
    Try creating a new document on your iOS device, then check again for the documents from iCloud to appear.
    Go to Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data and confirm that Use Cellular Data is turned on.
    Confirm that you're connected to the Internet by checking for an Edge, 3G, 4G, LTE, or Wi-Fi icon in your device's status bar. Test your connection by opening apple.com in Safari.
    Try resetting iCloud Documents & Data service.

  • Attempted to download a movie and movie disappears from library.

    Attempted to download a movie, looks complete, but unable to sync to iPod... restart iTunes and movie disappears from library.  No files in media folder and iTunes store thinks that it has been downloaded already.  Worked with iTunes account people who were very responsive, but after multiple resends on their side, the problem continues and they suggest a local problem on my side.  Thoughts?

    Hey Jerry... I ended up submitting a formal feedback issue and someone got back to me fairly quickly.  Responses are typically from an offshore team I assume, since they happen at night.  The email address that I have been corresponding with is [email protected] .  I'll keep this string posted if I make any progress... Good luck!

  • Firefox just disappeared from my laptop, what happened?

    I attempted to go to my email and discovered there is no icon on my desktop for firefox. it just disappeared from my system. what happened and what do I do?

    I assume this is on Windows?
    If you go to the Start menu, search box or Run box, and type or paste the following, then press Enter, does Firefox come up?
    firefox.exe
    If that works, you might just need to create a new shortcut on the desktop for Firefox. One way would be to go into the Start menu > All Programs, find Mozilla Firefox, right-click > Copy it, then on the desktop, right-click>Paste to copy the shortcut there.
    Or if you mean you want a shortcut directly to your email website, there's a different way to do that (more info if needed).

    Hi
    Your notebook supports the Realtek 802.11(b/g/n) RTL8188CE WLan chip.
    First of all you should check the control panel -> software are
    Check if there is something installed related to Realtek Wlan driver.
    If yes, then uninstall this piece of software firstly.
    If you will not find any Realtek Wlan software there, I recommend downloading the driver from here:

    The latest available version seems to be 1005.19.0420.2011
    feedback would be appreciated...

  • HELP, please! My photos have disappeared from iPhoto library & I can only see them on the screensaver.

    Firstly, I should say we haven't updated/installed/deleted anything.  I just opened iPhoto yesterday and first it told me it couldn't open up without specifying a library, but then it seemed our library has just disappeared.  I then created a new library as, I have to admit, me & my DH are complete tecno dummies, but that didn't help much.  The only thing which we have done in the past couple of days is set up the screensaver to play our photos.  So now we can only see the photos on that - I'm presuming that means they haven't been completely lost (?) but am in a panic as we've got no back-up (three years worth of photos!).
    When I go on 'system preferences' (hope that's the correct translation, our computer's using Italian) and the screensaver, I can see 'picture folder' where all the photos are but I can't find that anywhere else on the computer.
    Also, I read other threads about similar probs & tried launching iPhoto pressing down 'option & control' but that didn't help me out either.
    We also spent half an hour on the phone to the Apple helpline here in Italy (yes, that's a charged call) to try and understand what's gone wrong and the advisor just kept telling us she didn't know how to help us out 'cause our Mac is an old model
    Apologies in advance for my complete ignorance about how to solve this problem but I'd be really grateful if someone out there could shed some light on what's happened. 

    when you say to go to my Pictures Folder, do you mean to go on Finder, then Pictures, then look at the iPhoto library?
    Yes. Is there more than one there?
    The material in your screensaver are cached images. They cannot be recovered and soon they will go way.
    If you have deleted your Library (and it sounds like you have done this, accidentally)  the you have deleted your Photos and you need to restore from your back up.
    Regards
    TD
