Thumbnails lost contact with originals in iPhoto '09 (8.1.2.) – can't view fullscreen or edit!

Over the past days my headache over the iPhoto '09 library has gone from bad to worse.
Starting with a few albums and events from last year, iPhoto has stopped displaying some photos (mainly landscape-oriented photos, upright photos seem to be working fine most of them) in fullscreen, edit mode and slideshows.
Browsing through the apple community I've realized that this issue may be due to thumbnails losing contact with original photos. Indeed, I can't seem to export photos to desktop or any other location. "Show original file" or "show file" only opens an empty Finder window, doesn't connect with the Picture folder or anything.
I've also tried entering the Library manually from another working photo, and can't seem to locate a number of pics. It seems the originals are simply lost.
Some of the missing pictures are irreplacable (like my son's birth!). 
I'd be INCREDIBLY THANKFUL for any advice on how to save these photos.
Cheers/ AB

The simple and surefire solution is to restore from back up.
If files are missing then that's the only solution.
To rebuild the Library:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

    Take it back where you got and and get your money back.
    As has been pointed out, if there was a "previous owner", the phone is not "new". Thephone you purchased is most likely stolen. If whoever you bought it from won't give you your money back, turn it over to the police.

  • I set my cRIO from 'DHCP' to 'link local' and lost contact with it.

    I set my cRIO from 'DHCP' to 'link local' and lost contact with it.
     I changed the setting at the placed labeled "2" to link local only, then I think I hit save at "3".  Then poof, I had no network contact with my cRIO.  
    I tried;
        Hitting the reset button
        Opening a closing MAX
        Going to safe mode
        Throwing the Reset IP switch 
        Power cycling the cRIO
        Running cat 5 cable directly from the Host to my target
    None of it worked, and I have no contact with my cRIO.
    This is what MAX looks like now.  How can I fix this?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Make sure to disable the firewall on your computer.
    Otherwise you can check through the steps in this documentation:

    Note specifically that one option is to read the console out from the target VIA the serial port will a null modem cable during boot and it will indicate what IP the system is using.

    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers

  • Muse Lost Contact with my Site

    First of all, I'd like to tell you how bad it sucks to have to go through this process to get support. My recommendation of Muse just went from a 10 to a 4; this is unacceptable.
    Out of NOWHERE, Muse lost contact with my site. I didn't do A SINGLE THING different, but now my site will no longer update. I've gone as far as to delete everything and starting over, uploading 80 pages and 787 files to try to make my site functional again, to NO AVAIL. Even though I've deleted the site, it is still active.
    I've started 'fresh' 3 times. I have never had a problem linking a site to a URL, or Muse to a URL for updating. I'm frustrated and flabergasted. Now I'm at the mercy of the ******* COMMUNITY to get help with something ADOBE's malfunction/ dysfunctional product caused?!?!  W T F .
    How do I resolve this issue?

    The best place to go for immediate support is Live Chat at <http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?product=muse&topic=using-my-product-or-service> and click on "I still need help…" and then "Chat now".
    The best place to tap into a large group with very deep and broad experience using, developing and supporting Muse is here on the forum. Those active of the forum include fellow Muse users and members of the Muse Technical Support and Product Development Teams.
    What specifically are you attempting that's failing? FTP Upload? Publish? Or something else? Can you provide a screenshot of what error(s) you're encountering so we can better understand how we can help? What's the URL for your site? Thanks.

  • Windows 2012 DHCP Failover "Lost contact with partner"

    We have stood up a pair of Windows 2012 DHCP servers and configured DHCP failover (in Load Balancing mode) as per the Microsoft Technet article.  The two servers are on the same subnet, and time is in sync between them.  Almost immediately after
    configuring scopes to failover, one node loses contact with the other, and the alternate node goes to failover mode "Recover".
    We have restarted both servers and services.  Both DHCP servers show as available.  Clicking "Replicate Failover Scopes" completes successfully with no errors, and the only two warnings in the Event Log are about credentials for Dynamic
    DNS updates and a dynamic IPv6 address (which we don't use at all.)
    How come they can replicate, but have "lost contact"; and how do we get the one out of "Recover" mode?

    You should see Recover state only if one of the DHCP server actually went down and came back up. In this case the server which comes back up would be in Recover state but will transition to Recover_Wait state and come back to Normal after it syncs it
    leases. This should be relatively quickly. Did your servers continue to remain in the Lost Contact...\Recover state for long.
    Did you see any events in the DHCP Server admin channel
    Microsoft\Windows\DHCP Server\Admin.
    You can also enable AuditLogs (Microsoft\Windows\DHCP
    Server\AuditLogs) which logs all the server to server messages. You can enable the log by right clicking on
    Microsoft\Windows\DHCP Server. View->Show Analytical and Debug Logs. This will show the
    Microsoft\Windows\DHCP Server\AuditLogs in event viewer. You can then right click and enable the log and see if there are any failures
    being logged there.

  • Transferring a license when lost contact with original owner?

    I bought Production Premium CS3 a while back second hand from ebay. When I bought it they gave me their details that they said I would be able to transfer the license over with. Ive had it installed on my laptop a while now, however I never got round to transferring the license. That was about a year ago and I cant find their details or get in contact with them to help transfer the license over. Is there any way I could still transfer the license over to myself without needing to get in contact with them?

    No. Both sides must provide their info. The more relevant question is, though, whether they actualyl ever registered their software with Adobe. If not, then you have nothing to worry about...

  • I recently updated iphoto 11 and now I can't view my photos in the iphoto library.  Screen is blank,  but photos will show if played as slide show.  What's going on? ? ?

    On Friday, October 28th I updated my iphoto 11 because I received notice from Apple that I should do so for better stability in the program.    Today I opened I photo and found that although all my events show they are present and the number of photos in the library appears correct,  when I click on an event to view the contents, I get a black screen.   I am told there are no photos in the event.   When I return to the iphoto page it again shows all my events with pictures of the photos in the event thumbnails and the number of pictures in each event.    I can not actually view these photos individually.      Now here's the strange part,  when I select an event thumbnail and right click,  I can choose to view the event as a slide show, complete with music and special effects and it will play normally.   But no way can I view the event photos individually.     I have one event that claims to be empty, no photos in it,  yet when I click on that event  all 346 pictures pop up for individual viewing,  but will not play as a slide show.    I am totally confused and want my iphoto put back to normal.  
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    How do I uninstall the update,  or failing that how do I get my photos back? ?

    Hi Liz,
    Sorry to hear you are having a similar problem.  Last night I went to the tool bar at the top of iphoto, clicked on "File",  then clicked "Browse Backups" in the drop down menu.    I have an external hard drive that is set up to Time Machine.   The Browse Backups  opened the iphoto pages in the Time Machine.  I selected a date one day ahead of the day I performed the now infamous update, and it showed my iphoto library as it had existed that day.   I then clicked  "Restore Library" at the bottom right corner of the Time Machine screen.   Roughly 2 hours later my iphoto was back to normal.   When I opened iphoto there was a message saying I need to upgrade my program to be compatible with the new version of iphoto(version 9.2.1).  I clicked "Upgrade" and within seconds it had done whatever upgrading it needed to do. 
    The only glitch in the restoration was that it restored the library as it appeared last week, so I no longer had photos I had imported this past weekend.   I simply went back to the Browse Backups in the drop down menu,  when Time Machine opened I selected the page showing my pictures from this weekend and again said to Restore Library.   Roughly 45 minutes later the library was restored including the most recent photos.  
    I am now a happy camper. 
    I don't know if any of this will be of help to you because your email says you are having trouble with photos imported after the upgrade was performed.   Have you had any pop up notices when you first open iphoto,  that tell you you need an upgrade to be compatible with the new iphoto?     If so have you clicked "upgrade"? 
    Good luck Liz,  if you have Time Machine running as a back up to your library, maybe you wil be able to get help there, by following my instructions above.   Otherwise,   good luck with your investigations.   I'd be interested in hearing how you make out.

  • IPhoto 11 how can I view original and edited photo

    I am new to imac and have been editing photos with iphoto 11. After editing a photo I can see the edited photo, but how can I view the original?
    Also does iphoto keep all edited versions of a photo?
    Thanks

    If you want to see the original image then hold the shift key when in edit mode.
    Also does iphoto keep all edited versions of a photo?
    Not exactly sure what you mean by that... with iPhoto 11, when you edit a pic nothing on the original pic is changed, and all your editing decisions are recorded in the database. Next time you view the image these decisions are applied to the image as you view it. So, iPhoto records the edit history. Subsequent edits work on the aggregrate history, or you can revert to the original and start over.
    If you want to have multiple versions (say, one in in  B&W, one in Sepia) then you need to duplicate the image.
    Note that the versions are all virtual, based on the Master. Deleting the master will also delete the versions.

  • Lost contacts with change to outlook 2007

    I just installed Outlook 2007. I had previously uninstalled 2003 because of a problem. When I synced the first time I lost all of my contacts. Is there a way to recover these contacts?

    Where is your backup from Outlook 2003 created before removing the application and/or before installing Outlook 2007?
    Regardless if installing a new version, maintaining a backup of such important information is important regardless the platform - Windows or OS X but even more important with Windows due to constant virus, adware and spyware concerns.
    Syncing an iPhone or with any such device should not be considered as a backup.
    If the contacts are lost on your iPhone as well as on your computer, without a backup you are SOL.
    You can try restoring your iPhone from your iPhone's backup file but I wouldn't get your hopes up.

  • Lost contacts with new update

    Hi,
    For some reason, I lost almost all of my contacts when I updated my phone to the new gingerbread whatever version last night. My phone is set to backup every night with backup assistant, so of course it did so without the majority of my contacts. Is there any way to access previousy backed up versions of my contact list? I'm going crazy trying to figure out where everyone went.
    Thanks!

    Backup Assistance seems to be really acting up for users, I perfer Google to sync my data...   Have you checked Backup Assistance on site to see if the contacts was only removed from the phone?  Verizon Backup Assistant
    May want to consider moving all contacts to Google to avoid this issue.
    1. Log into Verizon Backup Assistant
    2. Click on Export to CSV
    3. Save File as (or Rename to) Contacts (it should already be converted to CSV so including .csv is redundant)
    4. Log into Gmail/Google Voice
    5. Click on Contacts
    6. Click on Import
    7. Browse for the Contacts (.csv) file
    8. Click Import
    Then to disable BA go to Settings / Applications / Manage Application / All Tab / Sync Services / Clear Data...
