Photos missing but when searching all photos in finder they are there
Not long ago i noticed that all my photos after july 20th were missing. The next thing that was there was an update i did just 2 days ago which was the end of august at the time. So almost 1 month was missing out of my iphotos photos. I didnt know what to do and 1 day my wife was searching for a photo that did not show up in iphoto but in the finder under all photos its there. The data file the original and the modified photo full size are all there. in the folder date they should be in.
I have tried rebuilding the iphoto database and nothing changes. I can open these photos in preview just fine i can email them to people i just can not see them in iphoto.
I deleted my entire ilife 08 and reinstalled it from the DVD. that did not change anything
I dont want to lose these photos but i cant figure out why they do not show in iphoto yet they are in the iphoto folder where they should be.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

My photos are in Raw Format when I open in Bridge and they appear very clean but when I transfer them to Photoshop they are full of noise. What should I do to fix the problem? Thanks.
are you sure its not just the way you are viewing the photo? you don't even see noise on the preview in Bridge and when I say preview I mean when zooming into the preview window. My thought process being in PS you are zoomed in more

I have just bought a new Mac Pro after my old one died after nearly 10 years. I have most of my music backed up on CDs, but when i load them into iTunes they are only identified as Track 1, 2, etc. Can I transfer from my iPod and how?
Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,

how do i get my contacts back? they are backed up by i cloud but when I "MERGE" only the new ones are there and not the old ones
Hi sfuentes,
You need to check iCloud to see if they are actually there. Go to iCloud.com and sign in and then look at your Contacts there to see if the old ones are still showing on iCloud.
If they are not, then you can either re-enter them while you are on iCloud.com, or you can restore your device from the backup where you saved them:

I took some videos using my iPhone 5c and uploaded them to my computer. I can play the videos in iPhoto, but when I open them in QuickTime, they are dark and silent. Why can't I see them in QuickTime?
Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Also
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased. -
Why am i not receiving iMessages on my phone but when i log onto my mac they are all there?
I am not getting my iMessages on my phone. but when in log onto my mac they come up on my messages here. what can i do o fix this i need to be able to recieve meaages on my phone on the go.
I think you answered your own question. If I read what your wrote correctly, you sent yourself a message to your phone number and you are wondering why it was not recieved on your iPad? If that is what you wrote, the reason is your iPad is not a cell phone and messages sent to a cell number, will not be received on your iPad. To send a message from your iPhone to your iPad using iMessage, you need to send the message to the email address you specified when you set up iMessage on your iPad.

Lost Safari looked Ina all the files in icloud I can see that it is used by icloud but can't access it. How do I get it back?
You cannot lose Safari as it is part of iOS. It's on your iPad somewhere.
Here are some choices how to proceed:
1. Go to your home screen, swipe from left to right, and type "Safari" in the search screen. You will find a link to take you there.
2. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout -
I set up a photo stream that includes pics and videos and sent out invites. No one received their invites even tho it shows on my device that I have invited everyone. Everyone is set up to receive photo stream invites (I checked as we were all at the same event). I am using an iPhone 4. Has anyone else run into this problem?
I have this same issue - iPhone 4S running IOS 7.0.4...
eg; today I took 10 pix - only ONE went to the stream - annoying! -
Why do I have to delete messages on both my iPad and laptop? I am on hotmail and shaw. Thanks for any help
In your email preferences, select option- :delete email on server"....
Otherwise, just cause you are deleting the email on your ipad doesnt automatically delete the email on the servers. It only does that with mobileme or icloud since with an apple email, it synchs.
With other types of emails including pop accounts, it wont synch, so the email will still be on the server.
You delete it on your ipad, but then since your laptop will fetch email, it will also get it since its on the server.
Note: Not all servers will delete email on them, just cause you selected that option. It depends. Pop accounts are notorious for this.

I have taken out a new contract with a Samsung S4 as the mobile device. It has a new sim card I got with the contract and new number. However, when friends with iPhones message me it is sending from their phone as iMessage meaning I am not receiving texts from them. Is this a fault on their side or mine? How do I fix the problem so I am receiving messages from them instead of it sending as iMessage and not received on my phone. Please help

How do I delete Hotmail messages so they don't reappear in inbox?
Try rebuilding the inbox or account mailbox if this is only happening with one account. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

I'm trying to make a slideshow in iMovie, but when I upload photos from my Aperture Library into the iMovie Photo Browser, some photos (305 out of 427) are missing. How do I get iMovie to upload all of them?
I have same problem. I could only see a fraction of my project photos if I browse the Aperture lbrary. It is the same problem when I sync the aperture photos to my iPhone or iPad. I still cannot solve it but I know a way to go around it for your iMovie to see the pictures so that you can work on your iMovie.
Here is the work around:
Export the photos from your album to your hard disk and re-import into your iPhoto. Now you should be able to see those photos that you want to work on in iMovie when you browse your iPhot library. -

How can I sort photos within an event? When I follow the Help instructions, I can sort manually in Photo format, but when I return to Event format, the original order is restored.
Events are organisation for those who can't really be bothered. They are automatic - based entirely on Date and Time the camera records the photos as taken.
You can move photos between Events, you can Merge Events, you can Rename them and sort them in various ways except one: You cannot manually sort in an Event as Events are all automated.
If you want to manually sort in an Event then you've outgrown Events as an organising tool. Now it's time to look at albums (Where you can manually sort) which are much more flexible than Events as an organising tool.
