TS2518 I opened Aperture and all my projects and albums for the last 4 months have gone. Where can I recover them from?

I have lost the last 4 months of photos on Aperture and have no idea why. Can anyone tell me how to recover them? I don't find Mac software that intuitive after using MS for 30+ years.

We will need to know more, to be able to help you to find and restore your images.
What exactly do you mean by "lost 4 month of photos". Are earlier projects still visible in Aperture or are all your projects missing?
What is your Aperture version and your MacOS X version?
And what were the last action you did on your mac, before the photos went missing? Did you install something, update something, run some cleaning tools?
Did you move your aperture library to a different location?
Please tell us anything you think that might help to understand what happenend.
Sometimes images appear to be missing, but are only hidden.
Have you looked in Aperture's Trash? And the Trash on your Desktop?
Have you looked at the searchfields in the browser and Inspector if they are cleared and are showing "All Items" or "Showing all"?
Have you opened the correct  Aperture Library? If you type ".aplibrary" into the Spotlight searchfield in the upper right corner of your screen, do you see more than one Aperture library?

  • I have an iMac5,1 with an intel processor.  For the last month or so, whenever I play a video from an outside source - e.g. YouTube, the picture jumps and breaks-up.  All of my software is up-to-date.  Any thoughts on how to fix this problem?

    You're welcome. As to checking speed go to http://speedtest.net/ and it will choose the closest server for you. BTW, whatever you do, don't click on the robot icon that says "Start Scan" or MacKeeper below that. Only use the speed test in the middle that has the button BEGIN TEST on it. It will run a download speed test first and then an upload speed test. The download test will give a much faster response.

  • Ok, so I have a PC and recently downloaded the newest version of iTunes. Somehow I canno't find my video Podcasts anywhere except for the recently played videos. Where can I first of all find them and secondly view them like in a list or gallery?

  • My iPhone is about 6 months old now and I would say I don't use it that much. Yet for the last month or so the battery life has been going down and today after having charged it to 100% this morning, it was at 5% at 4 pm this aft. help!!

    Ok Fellas, let me give you a clue:  Games, particularly those that make heavy use of graphics and sound are notoriously power hungry.  In fact, when I was in the Navy many years ago, the folks working on the NTDS (Navy Tactical Data System)  computers used a version of Space Invaders to load test the AN/UYK-43 computers.
    I have also noticed that all of my laptops (I have a brand new Toshiba dual core, an older Toshiba single core, plus 2 Dell dual core machines) have significantly shorter battery life when I play Company of Heroes than when I am just reading e-mail or surfing the 'Net.  I have also noticed the same behavior when I play games on my 4th gen Touch and my iPhone 4.
    The fact is, iOS 5 did make some major improvements as well as adding some nice functionality like iMessage, wireless synch, and such, but the down side is that depending on how you use the device battery life can be shorter that what you may have experienced with pervious versions of iOS.  Its just the nature of the beast...
    We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming.....
    Oh John....  Oh Marsha.....

    For the last few weeks, the iTunes store has been displayed with empty graphic rectangles (with a blue box containing a white question mark centered in the rectangles), bits of text, and some buttons. The page extends quite a ways, including what I assume would be all the links to all the music...
    If all you are trying to do is buy music, you can easily buy MP3s at any online music download store (e.g. amazon.com) and add them to your iTunes library.

    ITS NOT EVEN SHOWING UP IN PURCHASED SECTION

    1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
    2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

    is there any way I can get my play lists back to my iPod itouch as the last time I snyc my itouch it deleted them from my itouch and from my pc

    While I can't help you get back Playlists that have been deleted (by iTunes!), I can hopefully help you stop that happening again. The latest version of iTunes (on 4th July 2012) is 10.6.3.25 and this version fixes the bug that has been present (in iTunes) for the last few updates.
    So first of all, make sure you have iTunes 10.6.3.25 installed.
    For any Playlist you created, you will simply have to compile them again from memory, or by starting again.
    For the built-in Playlists that came with iTunes:
    Recently Added - see the contribution from Jolly Giant in this post https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3022568.
    For other Playlists, tell us which one(s) you're after and we should be able to post instructions here for you.

  • For the last month or so my icloud won't back up, it keeps telling me that there is too much storage and I need to delete some data. But I have deleted between 3-400 photos and it is still saying the same, can anyone please help

    For the last month or so my icloud won't back up, it keeps telling me that there is too much storage and I need to delete some data. But I have deleted between 3-400 photos and it is still saying the same, can anyone please help

    If they were deleted from your camera roll that should have resulted in a corresponding decrease in the estimated size of your next backup.
    If it's still saying that you don't have enough storage to back up, read through this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847.  It provides some suggestions for reducing your iCloud storage, such as deleting unneeded email. 
    The other area to look at is your text messages.  These are included in the backup.  If you have lots of photos and videos attached to your messages, that can significantly increase the size of your backup.  If that's the case, deleting these may make a big difference.

    if you can't get it to reboot then I would let it run out of power that result in a reboot if
    the screen then don't comes on when you charged it again then I would say hardware defect

    Retake the photos. They are no longer on your device.

    Hi, i have deleted accidentally some photos and the trash is empty. How can I recover them? Urgentlyyy

    Which trash is empty? If it's the iPhoto trash, check the System Trash, as files deleted from iPhoto 11 go there. Assuming that's also empty then you have exactly two options:
    1. Restore from your back up
    or
    2. Use a file recovery app such as File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
    There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

  • The events of the last month have suddenly disappeared.  I have opened these successfully several times during the last few weeks, but on opening them yesterday they weren't there any longer. No idea how this could have happened! Possible to retrieve ???v

    The events of the last month, with the photographs have suddenly disappeared from the iPhoto Library.  I have opened these successfully several times during the last few weeks, but on opening them yesterday they weren't there any longer. No idea how this could have happened! Is it possible to retrieve ???

    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. .

  • FireFox 3.6.23 & 7.0.1 keeps crashing ever now and then, it has already happened atleast 10 times in the last 2 hours or so. No crash report is available. This is going on for the last month or so.

    The articles/KB were not helpful in resolving the problem. I am posting this via Opera.

    Sorry folks for the late reply.
    It seems the problem was with my computer and not with FireFox. Finally, my PC stopped working. Had to get a brand new PC, there seems to be no problem with version 7.0.1 - all is fine so far.
