Why did my iPhoto and Mail disappear?

Why did my iPhoto and Mail disappear?  I also lost and had to reload Quicken.  This all happened in three days.

The applications are gone.  First Quicken disappeared and I reloaded it from the disk yesterday. Today Mail, Contacts and iPhoto disappeared.  No one else uses my computer and I've had no other crashes and I haven't made any changes.  I don't think anything else is missing.  Apple is sending me disks so I can reload the missing stuff but they wouldn't speculate on why it happened nor whether it will continue.  Thanks for helping.

  • Why did my contacts and calendar disappear?

    After being away for several days, I logged on to find Address Book contacts and iCal calendar empty.  They're empty when I use the icons.  When I access through Outlook bar, entries appear, but it looks like Apple entries, not Microsoft entries.

    Are you using iCloud? If so, did you somehow log into www.icloud.com and accidently delete Contacts and/or Calendar entries? Or did you uncheck iCloud as a source for Contacts and Calendars in those applications? Maybe only 'On My Mac' is selected in those apps and that is empty for Contacts and Calendars.

    Is the MacBook the computer you have synced with in the past? If not you can use the computer that you have synced with to restore your apps. Are you sure you are using the same Apple ID that you used to purchase the Apps?

  • Why did the "custom" size option disappear from list when creating a PDF in Photoshop?

    For my job, I must have the custom option available to me in Photoshop. I'm currently using CS4 and have been for years without a problem. Yesterday "custom" option from the choose size list disappeared, along with several other options (that I don't use).  I have shut down the program and restarted. I've shut down the computer - even over night - and it is still gone. Why did this happen and how do I get this very important tool back?

    This one. It only appears once a download has begun.

  • IPhoto and Mail erased on MacBook Pro

    I accidently erased iPhoto and mail from my MacBook Pro. Will using the Applications Insatall DVD help me get them back? Thanks for all your help!

    You posted this in the iTunes for Mac forum.  Did you intend to do that?  Do you want the topic moved to the iPhoto forum?  You didn't say what it was you updated.

  • Why did an iphoto update removed iDvd from share button?

    Lion os x 10.7
    Why did an iphoto update on 2-20-13 remove iDvd from share button in iPhoto?  Can you recoup the iDvd button on iPhoto?
    Thanks for any assistance.

    Because iDVD is not longer supported or offered by Apple.  So now you have to export any iPhoto slideshows at the large or medium size to your hard drive, place it where you will be storing QT movie files and then drag into an open iDVD project window being careful to avoid any drop zones in the menu window.
    If you place the file in the Movies folder you can acces it and iPhoto photos via the Media pane in iDVD.
    In iDVD follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality final product:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

    Did you haveany problem with updating to iOS 5? It soundsl like the update did not correctly restore from the backup that iTunes mnakes as the fisr step of the update.

  • Why has my Safari and MAIL slowed after upgrading to Mountain Lion on my MacBookPro ?

    Why has my Safari and MAIL slowed after upgrading to Mountain Lion ? I have mid-2009 MBPro and have very fast Internet access router.

    I have noticed the same thing on my MAC.  Mail has become very "clunky"- Before Mountain Lion, whenever I clicked on a msg or a function (delete), it would respond immediately.  With Mountain Lion there is an unacceptable hesitation.  What is going on with this latest update?

  • I recently saved my contacts in iCloud and now all of my contacts are on my daughters phone. I only wanted them saved to my PC. Why did this happen and how can I fix it? Is it because she downloaded the update to her phone?

    I recently saved my contacts in iCloud and now all of my contacts are on my daughters phone. I only wanted them saved to my PC. Why did this happen and how can I fix it? Is it because she downloaded the update to her phone?

    Your daughter must have signed into your iCloud account, perhaps when she updated her phone.  You can confirm this by going to Settings>iClloud on her phone and seeing if she is using the same iCloud ID.
    To fix this you would need to migrate her phone to a separate iCloud account.  To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos that she wishes to keep on your phone to her camera roll by opening her my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tapping the share icon (box with upware pointing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.
    Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and provide the password when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone.  This only deletes the account from her phone, not from iCloud; it won't effect your device(s).  When you delete the account you will be asked if you want to keep or delete the iCloud data from her phone.  If she needs to migrate a copy of the data to her new account, choose Keep; otherwise, choose Delete.  Then sign back in with a separate Apple ID to create her new account and if migrating data to the new account, choose Merge when prompted.
    Once she is on a separate account, if she migrated a copy of the data to her new account you can go to icloud.com from your computer, sign into her new iCloud account and delete your data from her account.

  • Why did my  iPhoto disappear overnight to i Photo library files

    I am new to iphoto and successfully copied photos to iPhoto , creating events , albums etc .
    However , when I opened the computer today , the iPhoto window was empty .
    I was able to get back the original iphoto library ( I think I went to revert to original ) , but how can I avoid this from happening again ?
    Any genius out there ?
    Thank you .

    Possibly, iPhoto lost track of the Library's location, so either a: double clicking on the Library in your Pictures Folder or b: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' would allow you to re-acquaint the app with the Library.
    Or did you hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto and then use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Specifically choosing: Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup?
    But again, if you can't recall what you did there really is little more we can do...

  • Why did FootPrints product and support go to crap?

    Why did BMC buy Numara FootPrints and then build a new product, named it FootPrints, called it an upgrade, but required customers to uninstall FootPrints and reinstall it fresh, then rebuild the whole thing from scratch?
    By the way... in my opinion, you have ruined a perfectly good functional product with version 12. and your support is some of the worst I have ever had to deal with. Not the actual people, but the model used to support customers. We pay for support, but all I can get when I call in now is an email based response that takes days or weeks to resolve issues that could have been done in an hour or less with a support rep on the phone or in a remote session. Sorry, but I can't do it anymore!

  • HT204365 Why did all my PDF files disappear from ibooks on my iPad

    All of my PDF files disappeared from iBooks on my iPad. Where and why did they suddenly disappear? How can I retrieve them?

    As far as I can work out, from incomplete downloads, ticks denote all downloaded ok. 
    The manually manage option is for those who want to tailor their library collections in Music and Video to specific items.  If you have this ticked, then it will sync with the sync selections in your devices pages (eg, Music, videos). 
    If you want to sync all of your collection 'all' the time, leave manually manage off and put the a tick in the devices' page to sync all items  Dependent on iCloud use, and or automatic download options in iTunes, new purchased items are added and synced automatically as they are added - this only applies to Store purchased items.
    If you are going to added content outside of the Store, then Manually Manage is the option to take for Music and Videos - it does not affect anything else. IE Apps or podcasts, etc.
    If you have manually manage off, and 'selected playlist' option ticked, then it will sync existing ticked items, but new items downloaded will require you tick them (a) after the next iTunes automatic download when it connects to the store and  downloads any items, or (b) you download to a device and then sync the device, in which case it transfers the new download to your library - but, as happened to you, deletes it from your idevice.
    Retcicking and resyncing will add the item back on next sync.
    Don't forget that whenever making any kind of manual change to hit Apply and resync, to stop changes being lost.
    However, and i cannot stress this enough, iTunes is very problematic, especially when handling large collections.  Its sync operations can be erratic or non-functional at times (even buggy perhaps)
    If all options fail, then go to your program installation control folder (Control panel\Programs etc on windows) and select to repair iTunes.
    And if you have not already got it
