Where has the original library gone?

HELP!! Before my father disowns me!! Ok- so my ipod touch was synced to my brothers computer. He has moved interstate so I synced it to my fathers computer. I created a new library by holding shift as i clicked on itunes icon- but now his libraryas disappeared! HELP please!!!

Creating a new library won't have deleted the old one, so unless you deliberately threw something away it should still there. Try searching your entire computer for all files of the form *.itl and then browsing to the correct folder.

Original Photo Size Lost....Why? Where has my original library gone?

I have had some problem with my iphoto library. Whilst I have deleted anything, or atleast, nothing appears to be in TRASH, my mac now only shows iphoto libraries that have been created recently.
These recent libraries though, do include thousands of my original photos, however, they all appear to be a fraction of their original size. Photos are appearing to be around 25KB in size when they were original 1-2MB. This has happened to all photos except the photos i uploaded today. The problem with the pics I uploaded today, is that iphoto is only enabling me to view these when the slider is at the far left - i.e. small thumbnails only. When I pull the slider to the right, hit slideshow, or double click to enlarge on of these new photos, I am simply presented with a large, but blurey, explanation ("!") point.
I am praying my originally sized photos are not lost? Where is my original library? I am lost and stressed - and desperately hoping someone can assist me.
Yours in need

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First the size of the photos you mentioned, 25KB, appear to be the thumbnails that iPhoto creates when importing into iPhoto. The "!" occurs when iPhoto loses the link to the original file. If you don't see any of the older image files that are greater than 25KB they probably have been deleted. However you can try the following just in case: run the three fixes below in order as needed:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
2 - rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
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 menu option
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: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos.
3 - start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2. Open the library package like this.
3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4. Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
If the above doesn't find and restore those missing older image files and you don't have a backup of your library your only recourse is to use a file recover application like SubrosaSoft FileSalvage. It will let you run it in demo mode to determine if it can recover the files you need before you have to purchase.
In the future you might want to invest in an external HD for backups.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Where has the User Library gone in Lion?

The User Library, ~/Library, is no longer viewable in a normal Finder window.
How does one access it now?
There are times when I want access to it to make a copy of my Address Book database, empty the User cache or in transferring data from an old computer to a new one without using the Migration Assistant.
There must be a way other than using Terminal... I hope.

Finder>GO hold option key
Additional note, since this doesn't say what should happen... Holding the option key while clicking the Go menu in the Finder causes a Library item to appear. Choose that to open the hidden user Library folder.
chflags nohidden ~/Library/ && killall Finder
There is no need to "killall Finder" to make this work. Simply doing "chflags nohidden ~/Library" is sufficient.

Where has the preview panel gone is Bridge CS5?

Today when I opened up Bridge, the preview panel on the right hand side has disappeared. It shows as being selected when I go to the Window Menu but it isn't there. The scroll bar is also missing so I can't view all of the thumbnails. Does anyone have any ideas about why this has happened and how I can return it to it's normal format? Thanks, Michelle.

Fantastic. Thank you, much appreciated

No, but you can choose Reset Workspace from the workspace menu to get it back to normal.

Where has the visualizer button gone?

where has the visualizer button gone in the bottom right corner?
bit of a pain as i used it quite often

iTunes 7 is pretty smart overall, nevertheless I have a few serious gripes with the interface. Firstly the little 'snowflake' icon on the bottom right that switches on the visuals has been replaced by the browse and burn icons. Was there a problem with the previous layout? My wife and I use that button everytime we turn on the visuals on our Mac Mini sound system in the living room. It was super convenient because you could move in a single mouse sweep from selecting a playlist to switching on visuals. With iTunes 7 you have to either select from the pop-down menu or switch to the keyboard and press cmd+T. It might not seem such a big deal to some but it's definitely a backwards step, no matter how small.
The album art selector/display is very cool and niftily programmed however I'll never use it. The reason? Because if you fill it with album artwork, all those images are displayed over the visualiser at the start of each tune, which I HATE. I don't want sleeve designs ruining the beauty of G-Force which I paid good money to see. It's bad enough having the track info show when I already know what's playing! iTunes 7 is simply not configurable enough if you ask me, and hey, you shouldn't have to start configuring Fkeys to make up for the fundemental lack of choice in the program preferences.
I have a pal who loves the gapless playback in the new iTunes 7 because it's great for mix cds. Well maybe that's the best playback feature of iTunes 7 but I'm afraid it doesn't make up for the loss of the visualiser button, so there!

Where has the extensions exchange gone?

Where has the link to the exchange gone? It used to be available on the adobe website, but it's disappeared now, or it's not very obvious anymore!
Mat

I wanted to let you know that Adobe is working on a brand new 'Adobe Exchange'. It's been written from the ground up and delivers a completely new user and producer experience that overcomes a lot of the issues we heard from existing users and producers of the current Adobe Exchange. We also just released a new tool called the Adobe Exchange Packager which makes it easy to package up your content for the new Exchange. We plan to have a release on Labs in July but if you sign up now you may have time to get your products on the new Exchange ready for the public release.
You can learn about the new Exchange and some of the tools for creating the content and products for it on this Adobe blog:
http://blogs.adobe.com/cssdk/
You can get the new Packager and see the new Adobe Exchange by signing up for the prerelease at:

We hope to see you on the prerelease!

Where has the music store gone?

Hi there,
I have just moved to South Africa with a new Touch so I've been a bit preoccupied recently. I have now realised that iTunes opens in the Apps Store and I can't find my way to the music store
Where has it gone and is there a way I can change it back to opening there again?
Many thanks,
Russell

Sigh.... This has been asked and answered here dozens of times. Music, movie and video content in the iTunes Store will come to other countries if and when Apple can work out all the multitude of licensing, copyright and royalty issues with all the various entities that hold the distribution rights in your country, along with any legal and infrastructure issues that might arise.

Where has the hard drive gone after installing lion?, where has the hard drive gone after installing lion?

I'm looking in finder but can no longer see the hard drive. Where has it gone to?

If I understand correctly, you can edit what is shown in the side bar within the "Finder Preferences".
under the "sidebar" tab tick the boxes of the things you want to be shown in the side bar of Finder.
under the "General" tab tick the boxes of the things you want to be shown on the desktop.
Hope this is what you are after and this helps.

Where has the iTunes SDk gone?

I keep finding links to the iPhone SDK but none of them work once I login to the developer site.
Has this now been deprecated by the iPhone SDK>
I am looking for the windows COM itunes SDK. Essentially I need to write a touch screen interface for my iTunes and work and use the iTunes library to do so. I also want to build a web interface that I can control the system from say my iPhone as well or another computer in the house.
Anyway is the iTunes SDK still available anywhere or should I look at the iPhone SDK instead?
Dan

Can you use the iTunes Visual Plug-ins SDK instead? I was able to download it from this link: [https://connect.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MemberSite.woa/wa/getSoftware?bun dleID=19923].
The link to iTunes COM for Windows SDK seems to have been redirected to the ADC member front page. However I can't find any notice that it's been discontinued, not even one other forum message or blog from anyone else who can't find it. So could just be a temporary problem. I would contact ADC and/or file a bug against the link.
I don't understand how you might solve your problem with the iPhone SDK. Maybe if you explain exactly how you want to use an iPhone, someone here will be able to help.

Where has the iCloud icon gone in the menu bar

When iCloud where in the trial stage they had a little cloud icon top right side in the menu bar to drag and drop files to. I recentlywanted to upload docs to iCloud and noticed it had gone. I never log into iCloud from the Internet, after reading the threads, it seems this is the only way to save files to the cloud now, am I wrong?

Are you sure you aren't confusing iCloud with iWork.com? In any event, there's no menu icon. To upload iWork documents, go to http://icloud.com and go to the iWork page, pick the appropriate of the three programs, and drag the file in the Finder to the web page.
More details here:

Destop version 6.0.0.43 Where has the cab file gone?

Hi,
I just upgraded my desktop version and when I do my backup now I only see one file from the back up.
blackberry9300.ipd             the size is about 786 ko
before with the older desktop version 5.0 the backup used to create 2 files
blackberry.ipd                      size is   806 ko
blackberry9300.cab            size is 27 000 ko
My question is where is the cab file with the new destop 6.0 version?
it's use to be saved in the same folder as the .ipd file
Did they change the format or file extension of the cab file?
The reason I want to find this file is because I like to backup the 2 files to an external hard drive.
thank you

Hey maj54,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
The way you had the synchronization setup, it seems like it was setup to synchronize the on-board memory and media as well.
Hook up the BlackBerry to your computer and enable mass storage mode.
Then click on backup and right below custom:
Files saved on my built in media storage should be check marked
once this is check marked it will will create the Cab file and ipd
