PLEASE HELP! I lost all of my pictures of my baby :(((((

I tried to restore an old copy of iphoto and when I did it deleted all of my pictures both the new and old. I saved the old restore copy to my desktop then when I tried opening it to import the pictures I wanted, the thumbnails wouldn't show up. I restarted my computer and when I did EVERYTHING all my old and new pictures are gone. PLEASE HELP. All of the pictures of my baby were there. I will be devastated if they are gone forever. PLEASE!!! I've since then tried to restoring to my latest backups within the last two days and all of my pictures are still gone. Can anyone help?

Let me start by saying that I did not say I did "everything." I stayed exactly what I did and said "everything" meaning all of my old and new pictures were gone. I'll admit I did freak out a bit but that is only because I thought I had lost the pictures of my baby. No need to be rude.
Now with that being said, I also want to say thank you. Last night when I searched in finder and got to the iPhoto folder, there was nothing in it. However, I just did what you said by scanning through "All Images" in finder and when I located one of the baby pictures and clicked on the iPhoto folder from which it came, all of my old photos suddenly popped up as though they were never gone.
So thank you a million times over!! I very much appreciate it! :)

  • Please Help! Lost all Desktop Icons, Finder won't open & Cant shut off iMac

    Hi Mac Users,
    I need some serious help please and thank you --- my iMac with Mac OS X 10.5.6 has lost all its desktop icons, I can't open my finder (i've tried relaunching and rebooting my computer, which won't even do a hard shut off).  I can open apps on my dock and that is about it. 
    I did read in another discussion to delete the preference file, but I can't get access to the library?!?  And I also read to try doing a disk repair from the install disk and when I insert the disk into my iMac I don't get a pop-up window asking what i'd like to do and since the finder does not open I have to way to even start the disk up to attempt to do a disk repair???? 
    Any suggestions/recommendations are greatly appreciated.
    Sincerly,
    desperate iMac kt1611

    When you tried to do a disk repair from the instal disk, did you actually boot from the instal disk?  You should.
    Have you read the manual that came with your iMac and followed the appropriate steps?

  • Urgent! Please help! Lost all my fonts and can't print!

    Hi folks,
    I have suddenly lost all my fonts from Illustrator (not from PhotoShop or other Adobe products) and now I can't print from Illustrator to any of my printers either. I'm on a windows machine, which I'm not too used to as I'm a mac user most of the time and I've tried to both repair and reinstall - neither of which worked - it reinstalled but has the same problems.
    Any ideas folks?
    Preferences were set to default when I re-installed illustrator and I'm on XP if that makes a difference.
    Any helpers out there?
    Thanks in advance.
    Dara

    The best technique we fid on the mac if you want to restore the settings when deleting corrupt preferences is to launch AI and use it after you have it cleaned up  or better after a fresh install. arrange all your workspaces and panels shortcuts etc. then copy the settings folder to a safe place and always use that after trashing the settings folder. No harm in giving yourself a fresh start.
    One of the reason's for this is recently someone wrote that they had to trash the settings folder three times before they got things back to normal.
    Reason for that is that computers often overwrite but do not completely erase what they overwrite and three times usually insures a good replacement of data. Also on a mac and I believe on a pc there is a similar file there is a file call com.adobe.illustrator.plist which can be corrupt as well also in the user preferences so you sometimes have to trash that as well.
    Also sometimes it is a question of the cache files, settings, font cache and application support files that are corrupt singularly or together.
    Also I am not certain that moving it to one location and back is a good idea on a pc it is fine on a Mac usually.
    Also often the corruption is such we have been told by support to not only trash this folder but to empty the trash as well.
    So that is what I know about this issue.

    Did you backup the iPad first? If you did - restore from the backup in order to restore the photos in the Saved Album on your iPad. If the photos were synced to the iPad, then sync them back again via iTunes.
    How to backup and restore from a backup
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    If you did backup first, you will be restoring your most recent backup and you should be OK. But know that when you restore from a backup, you restore everything that is in that backup onto the iPad .... All documents, device settings, all data and so on. You cannot just select photos to restore to the iPad. It's all or nothing.

  • HT5622 I lost all my pictures! Please help:( I added all my photo to a new album from the camera roll and i delete the picture that already move to new album, at last all my picture was gone !:'( Please, anyway to recover back all my photo? please help :'

    Albums is a way or sorting photos. Photos aren't moved from the Camera roll. The Camera Roll consists of all the photos on the phone. If you delete from Camera Roll they are deleted everywhere but Photo Stream.
    Are you using Photo Stream? Your photos, providing they wer recent should still be in Photo Stream. If you have Photo Stream set up on your computer they should all be there.
