When I opened iphoto this morning all my photos since April 2013 are gone. My desktop picture is still current but I can't find my pictures.

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
iPhoto 8 (09) and earlier- run the options indicated
iPhoto 9 (11) and later- run Option #4 to rebuild the database
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager (iPhoto 8 or earlier or IPhoto 11 and later) and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the
File ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 8 or earlier)
or
Library ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 9 or later)
menu option to rebuild the library. Select the checkbox to include orphaned photos.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

URGENT!!!!! JDev is not showing my project (when I opened it this morning)

Hello All,
I am using JDev 10.1.3.4 for the last 3 months and all was well. I worked in it yesterday night and everything was working as expected. I saved my work before logging off and when I opened it this morning, I don't see my application/projects. If I click on Re-open, it is empty (JDev does not have any thing in the memory.)
While JDev was starting up, I did get an error message to which I did not pay much attention and just clicked ok (as that was the only option) Since I was checking emails and stuff on other screens all I remember from the message is that it said something about UDDI (that it cannot access UDDI or something)
I need to start working right away as this is a critical time for us and code migration is this Friday.
Please Help,
Thanks,

One more thing,
When I click View - > and any of the Navigators (Application, System, Connection etc.) nothing comes up. I don't see any of the panes. There is just 1 blue screen!!!
I found a post very similar to mine - "BUG Application Navigator is Empty". Shay Shmeltzer has suggested: If you start JDev using the \jdeveloper\jdev\bin\jdev.exe - are there any exceptions shown in the dos window?
I did this and got a long list of error messages. This first one is:
**** Unable to find class oracle.tip.tools.ide.pm.addin.BPELOptions.*
**** This object will be loaded as null.*
java.lang.NullPointerException at orcle.ideimpl.docking.DockStationImpl.stateChanged(DockStationImpl.java:1854)
at oracle.ideimpl.docking.DockStationImpl.initialize(DockStationImpl.java:258
And the error log goes on and on...
How can I paste a screen shot of the dos window here? I tried doing that but could not paste

Shay Shmeltzer has also suggested to see
From inside JDeveloper do help->about and look at the properties tab for the ide.user.dir attribute to figure out where the directory is.
For me this (help _> properties -> ide -> user -> dir) is empty!!!!!

Is there an item named "iPhoto Library.photo library" or similar in your "Pictures" folder, showing with an icon like a fan of pictures?
Or did you store your iPhoto Library in a different folder, perhaps on an external drive?
if you cannot find your iPhoto Library search for it with Find Any File, as described by Old Toad in this post:
Re: My iphoto library has disappeared. How do I find it?

Re: My iphoto library has disappeared. How do I find it?in response to onpurpose
Download and use Find Any File to search for a file named "iPhoto6.Library". It's a file unique to all iPhoto libraries.
FAF an search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, packages and system files. If there's another iPhoto library hiding somewhere on your hard drive FAF will find it.

When I open iPhoto this appears- "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable" I have not used iPhoto before on this computer. I downloaded iPhoto Library Manager as suggested but nothing happened. What should I do?

I think the usual advice is to use the Rebuild command in Library Manager.

This morning, my iPad screen didn't respond to my touch commands. It displays mail, but I can't move the screen, can't delete an incoming item. Nothing. All the other screens work normally -- just no response to mail.

Have you tried closing the Mail app completely ? From the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

HT4623 Updating iPad2 to iOS 7, all my photos in camera rolls are gone, can't locate them anywhere?! Were they just deleted, or is there a way to find them? Did not have iCloud account, so not backed-up there.

Just updated our iPad2 to iOS 7, and all my photos in camera rolls are gone, can't locate them anywhere. Were they just deleted, or is there a way to find them? Did not have iCloud account, so not backed-up there.

We're you backing up to a computer using iTunes? If so, restore the backup from there.

When I open iPhoto its asks me what photo library I want to use. I already have a photo library that i've been using for 2 years, where did it go? and why am I being asked now to choose a library or "create new" what happened to all my photos?

We have no way of knowing what goes on on your machine. All we can tell is that your iPhoto library is missing and iPhoto can't find it. If you can't find then I the only thing you can do is restore from your Back Up.

I opened Itunes today, everything is working properly EXCEPT all of my song downloads vanished.

The "purchases" icon is gone & zero songs are available in Itunes...Everything worked perfectly 16 hours ago.I didnt delete anything between then & now. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Contacts are gone from where?

When iPhoto '11 crashes after importing photos and videos, they are gone. How can I retrieve them?

iPhoto '11 randomly crashes after importing/editing/organizing photos and videos. When it does, photos and videos that I've been working on are gone. Pictures taken with iOS devices can be retrieved if they are still in Photo Stream, but videos are gone. Is there anyway I can retrieve photos and pictures that are not saved before iPhoto crashes? Also, is there anyway to prevent it from crashing? It seems iPhoto '11 is doing this since the day 1 I started using it. Thank you.

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library
this should help with the crashes - it may or may not help with the missing videos

HELP!!!! All my photo books and slideshows are GONE!!!!!

Ran iPhoto 6 on my iMac, and to my horror, found that all my photo books and slide shows (I had tens of them, almost as many as I had albums) are gone!!!! No, I didn't backup my iPhoto library.
Is there any way on God's green earth to restore these? I worked hundreds of hours on them!!!!

Celeste:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
First try launching iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options, ignoring the one regarding orphaned photos.
If that doesn't work you'll have to start over with a fresh library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the rolls from the original.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same rolls as the original library. However dates on the rolls may be different but can be edited as you would the roll title.
Once this is completed you can delete the Originals folder from the desktop and the iPhoto Llibrary folder. If desired, you can keep the older library folder to try other fixes on it.
In the future I recommend you make a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto file after each import and after doing a lot of editing and organizing in the library. Then if you experience a similar crash all you need to do is replace the damaged database file with the backup copy and you'll be back to the same place in the library as when you make the backup. See the Tip at the end of my signature.
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 have an iPhone and a new iPad. Both access the same iCloud account. The iPad new is new and all the photos from the iPhone have been backed up to the iCloud account. How can I download the pictures from iCloud on to the iPad?

ALWAYS sync photos to a computer, don't count on icloud to store them for you. It does include photos from the camera roll in a backup, but that's all - and restores are not reliable when it comes to photos.
Added info...
Since you should always be syncing photos to your computer as you would photos from a camera, then sync from iphone to itunes/computer, then sync from itunes/computer to ipad.

FOR A PC:
On a PC, simply drag photos to the designated Photo Stream Upload folder. By default, this folder is located atC:\Users\<user name>\Pictures\Photo Stream\Uploads. You can change this location by visiting Photo Stream Options in the iCloud Control Panel for Windows.

I opened iPhoto this morning and all I have is a black screen with the circle thing that says it is working going on. It says the program is in Slideshow (at the bottom) I have treid restarting, opening iPhoto andtrying to change display, etc.

I cannot get iPhoto to open. It "opens" in Slideshow which shows that it is "working" but no pictures show, I cannot get out of slideshow. I cannot see my pictures although if I tell Picasa to import photos from iPhoto it does so I assume they are there...

1. Back up your Library now. You don't use iPhoto to back it up, you can do it simply by dragging the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder to the External Disk
2.
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. .
