Projects, albums and books have disappeared!

Something has happened to my Aperture Library-- I'm not sure itf it was before or after the 1.1.1 update, but I've lost tons of images, albums and books. The really odd thing is that they don't show up in Aperture-- but they do show up when browsing the contents of the Aperture library in the finder.
Here's an example of my "Book" folder-- which contained many albums, books and projects that are now missing:
Here's the same folder from within the Aperture library after viewing it's contents:
All the missing albumns, books and projects are there! The only project that's is showing up in Aperture is Hudsons 2005. I've rebuilt the library three times. I've replaced the library from the last vault-- which has the same problem. The projects are in the Library, just no longer appearing in Aperture.
Help!

The pictures were really helpful - have you tried a library rebuild?
Another thing to try would be to make a folder inside the Aperture library, then move one or two of those album projects into that and then start up Aperture - it might see them as new things.

  • Albums and books disappear

    Our school is using network home folders and iPhoto 8. Since the upgrade we have a lot of students who will lose there albums and books in iPhoto. They have disappeared while the student actually has iPhoto open. We have tried rebuilding the library with no luck. The only thing we can do is restore there iPhoto from tape backup and that way they lose any work they had done since the last backup.

    No we have not upgraded the student computers to 10.5 as of yet. The issue started when we upgraded them to iLife 8. It would appear that it is database corruption, however I find it hard to believe that they would not build in a transaction system to keep partial updates from happening due to connection loss or other things that may interrupt the writing process.

  • Why don't my albums and book in iPhoto 5 appear in the iPhoto 6 library?

    I deliberately upgraded to OX10.4.9 so that I could get iLife 6 with iPhoto 6. Everything seemed fine until I realized that the albums and book I made in iPhoto 5 (but the book was not yet published) were no longer there. I can't find it anywhere in the libraries for my current iPhoto 6, and Spotlight can't find it on the computer. I do have the original photos in the Originals list, but in order to make the book I had to sort and weed out the pictures. Then I made custom captions for the book's pages. I was hoping to publish the book using the upgraded iPhoto6. Now it looks as if I will have to go through the whole process again.
    Maybe there is hope because I did a back-up of my whole system on an external hard drive before I loaded in Tiger and the new iLife. But I don't know how to get the photo book out of there and export it to the iPhoto6 library.
    What is the best way to get the book back----or is it possible at all?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Did you let iPhoto 6 do the conversion of the iPhoto 5 library? Do you still have a copy of the iPhoto 5 library. If so try the following;
    1 - move the current V6 library folder to the desktop.
    2 - copy the V5 library into your Pictures folder.
    3 - download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name, long or short, in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
    4 - make sure you've updated iPhoto to 6.0.6. To do that you'll need to apply the updaters in the following order:
    a. run the 6.0.4 updater
    b. download and run the 6.0.5 updater (will only run on 6.0.4)
    c. download and run the 6.0.6 updater (will only run on 6.0.5)
    d. run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions.
    That should give you a converted library with the book and albums intact.
    The book and albums would be virtual entities and you wouldn't find them in Spotlight. But if they didn't get converted you'll have to recreate them from scratch.
    Hint: I use iPhoto Library Manager and create a separate iPhoto library for books. I put the photos I want in the book in an album and then copy that album to the book library with iPLM. If I need more photos I copy them in a new album as the book progresses. Once the book is done and ordered I copy the book library folder intact to a CD. Then at a time in the future if I want to order another book just like it, I can. I just copy that library folder to the desktop, open it with iPhoto and order. It preserves the original book as ordered.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • 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.

    Well, if they have truly disappeared then something is really messed up. For really messed up stuff, you need to set it to factory default condition, and then afterwards, restore it from your backup.

    Do you see them at iCloud.com
    Do you think you could have done anything that might have caused this, if not then it might be best waiting a while in case they just come back.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.

  • Just installed the latest iTunes software update and the extra images i had for my albums on iTunes have disappeared...Help?

    Just installed the latest iTunes software update (iOS 5.0.1) on my MacBook Pro, and the extra images i had placed on my album covers in the selected item box have disappeared, leaving just one image per track. Any ideas on how to restore would be most appreciated...

    Installing an iTunes update does not remove your media or personal files.
    Are the files actually missing off the computer, if so, you have a serious computer issue... not a software update issue.
    Regardless, use the backup of your media and other important files to put everything back.  You do have a backup, correct?
