Updated to OS X Mavericks/lost all of my iMovie projects

I just updated to OS XMavericks. Which also updated iLife. I lost all of my projects and media I had in iMovie. I never received a pop-up warning me of this issue. Has this happened to anyone else?

I'm just happy your data is still there.

  • All of my iMovie projects disappeared after loading Mavericks.  The updated version of iMovie shows no files and cannot find any files to Import.  My machine, a beefed up Mac Mini, has slowed to a crawl.  Suggestions?

    My Mac Mini takes forever to load programs now.  After loading Mavericks it seems like I am back in PC World again!!  My biggest concern is ALL of my iMovie projects seem to have vanished.  I do not have sound on some web sites like YouTube.  I lost the option to mirror from the Mac to the TV but I was able to solve that.  Any suggestions on recovery of files?  I do not use TimeMachine and did not back up anything before the Mavericks installation.  I know...that's bad.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you tried using VLC media player it seems to play almost any codec without converting.

    If your back up was successful, then just resync.  The books are there.  If they are not, simply go back to the bookstore and redownload them for free.

    What did you update with what?  Are we talking a computer?  A device like an iPhone?  You updated iTunes?  You updated the operating system?
    If you updated the iOS on a device, I believe it warns you it will erase the device and you should make a backup first.  Restore from the backup.
    iPhoto is an application pretty much separate from iTunes.  There is an iPhoto forum if you are having problems with that application.

    I just updated my iphone, but have lost all my musics I purchased from itunes.

    Depending on which country that you are in you might be able to re-download it for free : re-downloading. Otherwise, have you not got a copy of them on your computer and/or on a backup that you can use to re-sync them to the iPhone ?

    Hi,
    I had the same problem and indeed in the appliactions I found imovie 9.0.9.
    But to make sure all goes well this time, please let me know the next steps.
    I opened the imovie 9.0.9.  (1.2GB) and the previous imove appeared. In the updated version, I can now import
    imovie 9.0.0 zip archive (7.9 MB2).
    Is this the solution ? And do I have to take further steps to amke sure everything is working ?
    Thanks for coming back to me.

    (B) Make sure sound is not muted in Control Center; tap on the little bell. Swipe upwards from bottom of screen to launch Control Center

  • Updated to Is o5 and lost all contacts

    Hi everyone,
    I have updated to os 5 today. Took all the precautions beforehand pressing sync and backing up etc. After the update I have lost all my contacts and apps and how they were arranged on the home screen. Stangely, I still have all my text messages. I'm not bothered about my apps or music they can be purchased again but is there any way of getting my contacts back? I have spent 3+ hours trying many of the options that other have used after a google search but they don't work. Please help me
    John

    Yea I guess that now. It would be nice to have known this prior to doing an update. Apple's self help guides do quote that the contact information is contained within a backup:
    Backed-up information includes purchased music, TV shows, apps, and books*; photos and video in the Camera Roll; device settings (for example, Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts); app data; Home screen and app organization; Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS), ringtones, and more. Media files synced from your computer aren’t backed up, but can be restored by syncing with iTunes.""
    It also seems crazy that the backup would store recent calls i.e. the numbers but not the names they are linked too. Oh well I hope Apple either edit the above clause or make an easier way of backing up contacts to itunes. I don't want the numbers on my phone to be merged on my email program!

  • Update To Do app. Lost all my to do's. highly disappointed!

    I updated "To Do" via the App store from my phone. I found out after the update that all my to do's were all gone. I thought maybe I could sync with my computer to get them back but again no luck. If this is the case i will not update. This is highly discouraging and i'm very disappointed. ****** off is more like how i feel.
    I hope this will get resolved.

    Thanks for posting this.
    Wish I'd read it about 4 days ago.
    Just lost ALL of my tasks and To Do, for the very reasons you describe.
    PS: Ignore that guy who says you shouldn't post this. There's always one or two shills in the crowd.

  • Updated and now it has lost all my history and bookmarks and won't open

    I updated Firefox on 9/18/11. No problems until yesterday 9/22/11. I opened firefox and a window came up saying something like -oops, how embarrassing, we lost all your bookmarks and saved pages. That was bad but then it also wouldn't open anything after that and the rainbow wheel came up and the app did not respond further. I've tried: turning the computer off and on, deleting and re-installing firefox. I called AppleCare and they suggested I call you. I have a MacBook Air. Please help.

    Thank you. I did just what you said and on my computer(sadly not an MacBook :( ) and I saw my things were still there. I "turned off" the iTouch and everything came back. But I did notice that every once in a while(it has happened 3 times within 15 days) my info(notes/contacts/calendar events/reminders/ and even access to my e-mail's junk folder) disappears randomly. Is there anything I should do to prevent it from doing that?
