Why did I lose my link between iphoto and filemaker db

Newbie to forums here. Sorry, I posted this earlier in the wrong place as a reply instead of a new question.
I have a Filemaker 6.0 catalog database in which I made a container for photos. I stored the reference rather than the photo so the file wouldn't be so huge. Since I updated to iphoto 08, my photos no longer show up in the FM database. Do I have to go back and export them all to the desktop and store them in the database anyway or is there a way to recover the reference? Thanks

I use FileMaker quite a bit also. You can reference to the files in iPhoto, but it would probably be easier for you to just export the files and put them back where they were. FileMaker should find them the next time you open the file. I don't think I would add them to the file directly. I did that on some of my files and they seemed slower.
I have several databases that use photos differently, but I am trying to get them all into iPhoto. The nice thing about that is they are all organized and available to other apps through the media browser and are still available through the open dialog.

Why did I lose (at least) an inch and a half of all the websites when my windows 7 pc updated to the lastest version of firefox and how do I get it back?

Since the update I've had to shrink down the font size so it doesn't overlap (which makes it virtually impossible to read because it is so small and I am legally blind. Also, games do not fit in the viewable space so I can't play games either. I have gone back to using Internet Explorer and I have tried adjusting fonts, zoom etc to no avail. Is there an add-on or something that will make it compatible with Windows 7? Is there anything you can do to fix this since I like Firefox much better than IE?

You can use the NoSquint extension to set font size (text/page zoom) and text color on web pages.

Why did I lose all my bookmarks, settings and add ons in the recent Aurora update?

When I was using Aurora it happened to crash so I restarted as i normally would when this happens, but when it restarted it was a new version (Firefox Developer Edition) and not a single bookmark, folder, add on etc had remained (not to mention my previous session that had quite a few tabs some trivial but some a bit more important and ALL of my history was gone). When I tried to go to Sync and see if that would restore anything the option to put in my recovery key was nowhere to be found although in the Sync FAQ it mentioned this older way of using sync could still be used. So I made an account with email and password and still could not find a way to sync anything I lost. I searched around the FAQs and could not find a resource to help with my issue.
I've been a loyal user of Firefox (since 2005) and I will continue to be but this really caught me off guard as even in previous updates I never had an issue like this.
Any help with what to do would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

hello mmendo18, the firefox aurora release channel has been converted into the firefox developer edition. by default it starts with a freshly created profile. in order to get back to your old data, please refer to [[Recover lost bookmarks on Firefox Developer Edition]]

Lost link between iPhoto library and iPhoto.app

While learning how to use Photoshop Elements 4.0 and Bridge, I made the choice to "browse" in Bridge. When I next started iPhoto 6.06, my link to the Library was lost. I have worked with AppleCare support, done every exercise short of creating a new library and losing my organization. With 20,000 + photos I would like to avoid that exercise. I do have backups but am trying to figure out if I can solve this any other way. All my files are still in iPhoto Library, and I can see the organization of my albums in Bridge. With some exercises, I get the message: "Unreadable files: 1. The following file could not be imported: '/Users/john/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Library.iPhoto.'"
If I delete Adobe Photoshop Elements and Bridge from the hard drive, will this help? I promise I did not do anything within iPhoto Library in Finder!
Thanks so much!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
There's absolutely no harm in using PSE with iPhoto, it's Bridge that's a killer. So that's what you chuck from your machine. Set up PSE as an external editor in the iPhoto Preferences. That way you can double click a pic in iPhoto and it will open automatically in PSE, save it PSE and have it come back into iPhoto seamlessly.
What's likely happened here is that you have (or Bridge has) made changes in the iPhoto Library Folder which has broken the link between iPhoto and the library files.
Some things to try:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. Choose Locate, and point iPhoto at the iPhoto Library Folder.
What Back Ups do you have? If there's an up-to-date one, then try copying the library6.iphoto file from it to the iPhoto Library Folder allowing it to overwrite the confused one.
That said, if these don't work, your options will only be to create and populate a new library: To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same film rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library Folder to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual rolls to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
Finally, the message
"Unreadable files: 1. The following file could not be imported: '/Users/john/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Library.iPhoto.'"
is because iPhoto will not import a picture that's in the active iPhoto Library Folder - a sensible precaution against duplication.

Why did i lose my music off of itunes when i restarted my computer

I restarted my laptop computer and when i reopened Itunes...all my music was gone. why did i lose it?

Are the files actually gone off the computer or simply not displaying in iTunes?
There is a huge difference between the two, please clarify what the issue really is.

When I downloaded Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 10 I lost all my Bookmarks. I went back to using the older version and get the message that it is no longer supported or covered by virus protection. Why did I lose my Bookmarks?

Why did I lose my Bookmarks?

Clarification:
I believe now you potentially lose all extensions, plug-ins when you use the new reset function, but you will let me know.
If that is the case, your find corrupt file method maybe better. However, I reviewed the two help articles and there appear to be more files than just the delete search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder. I am confused. Then I have to find the folders. I think help articles mentioned how to find the profile containing the files, but not sure.

@cstigall - Were you able to get your contacts reversed? Sometimes that happens when you share or are logged in to the wrong Apple ID as Gina suggested.

HT1386 why did I lose all my contacts when I installed new 5.1 version???

Why did I lose all of my contacts when I installed 5.1.1 version on my iphone 4? I did back-up and got everything else back except the contacts???

What address book or cloud service were you syncing your contacts with before the update? They should still be there.
Contact information is only part of the backup in order to maintain your favorites and recent calls list. Contacts are meant to be synced to a cloud service or address book.

Link between mail and iPhoto not working

When I touched the photo browser link in Mail I used to open a direct link to iPhoto and Aperture so that I could quickly add a photo to my message. I failed when I tried to email photos directly from iPhoto so I fiddled with my accounts and now the link between the photo browser in Mail and my photo apps is broken. Any suggestions as to how I can reset the system/programs to communicate with one another.

Why did I lose all of my docs in pages?

why did I lose all of my documents in Pages?

I'm being "snarky" for asking you to actually provide some information?
Don't be so self obsessed as to imagine that we are constantly looking over your shoulder at what you are doing.
All we have to go on is what you choose to tell us. If you choose not to, what do you expect?
You are not alone in the childish "Mom, I can't find it!?" style questions. It gets wearisome playing 20 questions to just get to the point where you have a comprehendable question.
We still don't know what version of Pages.
Saved documents don't live in Pages, they are on your hard drive, on a server or some other device.
"ALL" your documents is comprehensive. So you have no documents of any description left on your Mac (now that we know it is a Mac) or anywhere else?
AS Peggy pointed out, if you never saved the document, it is gone.
We are still struggling to find out what you are talking about.

Why did I lose my movies i purchesed ?

I got a message for an update for my Itunes, I downloaded the update, and lost 4 movies i paied for, Why did I lose my movies? How do i get them back on to my computer?

I would guess that you lost them because you failed to do the basics. It has always been very basic to always back up your computer, most especially before any update.
Have you failed to do this?
If so, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
