Very serious error: have I deleted 7000 images???

Ok, I probably made a very serious mistake. Here is what I did: on opening Aperture for the first time, I asked it to consolidate the Iphoto library. After a long process, I got all the images into aperture, and the aperture library was created in Aperture. Since I was then working on my MacBook, I needed to free up some space, so I thought, why have two libraries? And I deleted the Iphoto library.
I then moved the aperture library to an external HD.
Now, Aperture says that it cannot locate masters. Manually I cannot find them anywhere. Does this mean that the Aperture library is not really a library? I use Final Cut Studio so I understand the basics of non linear, but FCS does not create its own library, nor does Lightroom, for that matter.
I hope there is a simple answer to this, especially since the files themselves from the library, when opened in photoshop directly from the aperture library, still appear to have their full resolution.
Help! I may have deleted 7000 images
many may thanks
antonio

Antonio I really, really feel for you. This is not a good situation to be in. It does however carry a few lessons:
1) Backup
2) Backup
3) Well... you know.
I never trust myself OR the drives. I switched to a referenced library a few months ago (to better manage space and be able to use multiple drives in the future) and I backup using both a Vault (for image info) and a mirrored image library on a dedicated drive. I also use dvds. I'm thinking of getting another drive to store offsite as well - which is highly recommended.
As for the terminology issue, you need to understand that referenced files are exactly that: referenced. They still live in their original location. So your iPhoto Library was still the source even though they now appeared in Aperture as well. Renaming the original library wouldn't make any sense using this scheme. The names remain and the files stay put - that's what referenced means. I'm awfully sorry you had to learn it this way though. It sends chills down my spine
You weren't using Time Machine by any chance?

My iPhone 4s is messed up for downloading purchased shows from I tunes, says to connect to wifi and I have, says unable to ... Arrgh. Also seems to have very little brain, have to delete apps to fit one episode of 40-60 min show. Frustrating! Any ideas?

Help with ? Glitch for downloading showS! Also if I try to watch the show under videos app it freezes repeatedly. This is new in last few weeks! What's up?!

If you have to delete apps in order to download the video chances are you still do not have enough free space on your iPhone for that video to run smoothly.

Why does Thunderbird keep re-downloading e-mails I have already deleted?

I delete my e-mails and sometimes with-in minutes they are re-loaded. I have even tried deleting and then emptying my trash right away but that still doesn't work. It is very annoying to have to delete the same e-mails repetedly. I use POP.

If they are not being downloaded again just reappearing then maybe you have not been compacting your folders on a regular basis.
As it is unknown whether the Inbox has any corruption, please do the following.
Suggest you move all good emails out of the Inbox into suitable folders for organising and Delete unwanted emails.
Empty Trash and Junk folders.
Then, when Inbox is empty:
File > select: Compact folders.

Very Common Premiere Error?? "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that..."

"Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Premiere to be shut down. We will attempt to save your current project"
Yep, that one. I get it every time I open up Premiere. The error box reappears after a couple of seconds, then it keeps reappearing and stacking up until I close the program.
I've done the most recent updates (Vista and Adobe), and spent hours on the net reading and trying different solutions. To no avail.
I think this is a pretty common error, no? But from everything I've read, people get the error using PR mid-program. For me, I can't even open the program. After Effects also starts (as a process in Task Manager), but runs in the background.
I updated MS Office 2007 (big update) and also my NVIDIA drivers (after I started getting this error).
You can read my recent problem that might help you understand a little bit more about this error on this thread.
Would upgrading to a Quadro GPU help at all?
My PC:
C2D E8400 o'cd @ 3.6GHz
8GB ram (DDR2 800)
1TB raid 0 (500GB internal as scratch disk)
2 512mb 9600GT's in SLi - should I upgrade?? NVIDIA Quadro?
Vista Ultimate 64-bit

Thanks, Jim.
So, (considering my unwillingness to wreck my current setup), would this possibly help my performance:
OS: (2) 500GB internal SATA's in RAID 0 (as is)
Scratch Disk: (1) 500GB internal SATA (sort-of as is)
Media files Disk: (1) 1TB non-'green' internal SATA (new purchase)
My main question is: What's the main difference between a Scratch Disk and a Media Files Disk?
For instance, I have a newly captured clip (let's call it footage.mpeg). And I have music.mp3 and lotsofpictures.jpg. So would I store all three of those files on my Media Files Disk, or on the Scratch Disk? The Scratch Disk was just for rendered files I thought (like when you're working on a project and previewing it?)? And so is Premiere reading from my Media Files Disk to play footage.mpeg and then using the Scratch Disk to bounce files back and forth? Sorry if I'm not making ANY sense.
Is my suggested setup a dumb idea (bad investment)?
PS - this may be another problem: my Scratch Disk (Hitachi internal 500GB SATA) is an OEM drive shipped as running on SATA I for 'backwards capability' for older mobos. So, I downloaded the firmware updater from Hitachi and the updater wasn't working (locking up after booting from CD). I figured it would be fine. Well, SATA I runs at a much slower speed than SATA II (the new standard). But I was transferring files to and from the drive and my OS RAID configuration and Vista was reporting over 30MB/s sustained write speed. Which by the way is not SATA II (also called SATA 3.0Gbit/s). I think this may be causing some of my performance issues. What do you think? Normally, SATA II should run at 300MB/s (so they claim) SATA 3.0Gbit/s specs

Can only open firefox as admin, otherwise get error to say a security component could not be initilaised. Have tried deleted cert8 file but it is not recreated and still will not open

Had problems with os and now can not open firefox unless I run as admin. Error appears - Could not initialise the application's security component. The most probable cause is problems with files in your browser's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard drive is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the browser and fix the problem. If you continue to use this browser session, you might see incorrect browser behaviour when accessing security features.
I have tried deleting the cert8 db file but it is not recreated when I start firefox again. HD has lots of room. Can you suggest anything else to try please?
thanks, mandi

If deleting or otherwise removing the cert8.db and secmod.db file doesn't help then try a new profile.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Could+not+initialize+the+browser+security+component
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

I have CS2 and I use it almost every day.. Today when I tried to launch it, a prompt came up saying my Activation was no longer valid and it closed automatically. Then when I tried to re-open it, a prompt came up saying "A serious error has occured" Please re-install the software... I have no idea where my software is... That was many many years ago? HELP!!

When you go to the download page, you must do two things:
Download this file: PhSp_CS2_English.exe on the download page.
Use the serial number on the download page in order to install your non-activation copy.
Do not use your old CD or serial number. It no longer works.
If you have Windows 7, the advice is to turn off UAC and run the installer as Administrator.

To delete files from your external HDD, attach it to your MBP and drag the unwanted files to trash and then empty trash.
Then you select the files that you want to transfer by 'drag and drop' to the external HDD and trash the files on your MBP.

Question?
I have accidentally deleted a large number of develped images in Lightroom before I did a backup. I reimported the original raw files back into Lightroom hoping the develop settings would be re-established but no luck. Notice system mau have done an auto-backup as have an lrcat-journal file. Can I use this to restore my develop settings. I also have jpgs generated from all the deleted images.

Hello,
if you have a backup of your catalog you can do the following:
1. Backup your catalog first
2. Restore your backup catalog to some location
3. Open your current catalog and select "files->import from another catalog".
4. Select your backup catalog and your lost images. LR ask you if you want to overwrite the current settings or save them as a virtual copy.
As an alternativ you can open your backup catalog, select the "lost" images and save the development settings as xmp sidecar fiels (using ctrl-s). Then open your current catalog, seletct the images and use "Metadata->Read Metadata from files".

Error message says I have to delete a corrupt backup file?

Error message says I have to delete a corrupt backup file, but under my preferneces & under my devices, there is no old backup file to delete, so I can't delete a corrupt one if i dont have any?!

I know this is a late reply was wondering if you had the problem still as I have been having this problem for many months. Today I was looking around getting ****** off why it was not working and I found my culprit and thought I would see if it would help you. Not sure if you, like me, changed your itunes media store location somewhere other than the default location. What I noticed was in Users>UserName>AppData>Roaming>AppleComputer>MobileSync there was a backup folder with a shared link icon on it and when I double clicked on it windows promptly brought up an error that its location was not valid. So I figured since it was not valid and I did not have any backups anyways I deleted the folder and then went to itunes and tried a sync and it worked perfectly again. The backup folder was re-created properly and the stupid corrupt error went away.

HT1947 Help! I'm very new to my iphone and i think i might have accidentally deleted Facetime from my phone I dont have the icon anymore but my settings tell me have it. What do I do to get it back on my phone? Thank you!

Help! I'm very new to my iphone and i think i might have accidentally deleted my Facetime although my settings tell me I have it. How do i get it back on my phone? Thank you.

Built-in apps cannot be deleted. However, there never was a FaceTime icon on the iPhone. FaceTime is accessed by selecting a contact in the Contacts app, and then selecting FaceTime. The same can be done from the Contacts tab in the Phone app.

In finder do I need to delete all images as I have over 10000

in finder do I need to delete all images as I have over 10000

Depends on the size of your hard drive.
Good practice indicates keeping at least 15% (or 5GB, whichever is larger) of the hard drive unused, to allow the OS to use it for swap files, virtual memory needs, etc. When your drive gets more full than that odd things can start happening - sluggish behavior, program crashes, etc.
If you are short of hard drive space, by all means dispose of as many files as you can which you don't need on that drive. Either archive them off and then trsh the originals; or just trash the ones you no longer need. Don't forget to empty the trash after dropping things into it - until the trash has been emptied, anything placed in it is not yet gone.
If you are not short of hard drive space, don't worry about it. Just becuase you have a lot of files means little - it is the effect of the space they occupy, not the quantity, that may be of concern.
I have over 50,000 image files on my Snow Leopard volume. They occupy about 29GB of drive space. Since that volume has about 500GB of capacity, the space those files consume is not of concern. There is no deleterious effect resulting from their presence on the drive.

While trying to delete an image or header on Index page, Index..html disappeared--how could this have happened?

Windows 7, Adobe CS6
In Dreamweaver, from files located on a USB, on the Index screen, I was trying to 1) delete an Image in order to insert a different one and link it to a page; 2) delete the Header in order to insert a border and then replace the Header.
I seem to have succeeded with the Image rollover replacement and link. Clicking on the Header should have activated it so that I could delete it; but it didn't.
All of the images and links are intact; I just can't open the Index page, since I can't find the Index.html file. The last time I copied the USB files onto my C: drive was 3 weeks ago.
1. What might I have done accidentally to cause the Index.html file to be deleted?
2. Exactly what does the Index.html file contain? Would the one that's 3 weeks old work? No, I'm thinking, since some changes were made in the html coding in the meantime?

This is the problem with working in Design View only. You really need to work in Split View so you can see the code that DW creates/selects for you. Often times, selecting elements in Design View will capture too much or too little code. When you hit delete, you may have deleted much more code than was needed. The result is invalid code, unbalanced tags, etc.. all of which might explain why your page is blank in Design View.
Switch to code view. Copy & paste the remaining code into a web forum reply (do not use e-mail, it won't come through). If we can see the code you have to work with, we might be able to help you repair it.
