Why did my Mac delete all my pictures on Iphoto?
My Mac deleted all my pictures in IPhoto without asking me... I do not know what happened, or why it happened. I've had my Macbook Pro for only 1 year.
With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see in the iPhoto window when iPhoto opens?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Why did Adobe DC delete ALL files on my SD card?
Well, the only thing that happened with my tablet today was the new Adobe DC was pushed onto it. Now ALL pics, videos, and old PDF files on my SD card have been deleted. It is blank. WOW!!! Thanks....
I found them. But having to access them separately & then "create a local file" for each one has been very counter-productive & counter-intuitive compared with the 'old' version...I guess 'the cloud' has got us with a ring-in-the-nose leading us where it wants...

Why did Adobe DC delete ALL files on my SD card?
created by RahulTyagi4you in Adobe Document Cloud - View the full discussionHi dougr37049071, Which device are you using?Did you checked the occupied space of your SD Card? Has it decreased? Does this happened after the DC installed? or did you noticed any other event that might have triggered this issue? Regards,

I deleted all my photos however when i go into storage it still says i have photos.
iPhoto is an Application to manage and edit images.
The images do not reside in iPhoto - just thumbnail links (think "like web pages show images"). The files themselves, and duplicates and thumbnails actually reside in (but do not delete, move or rename any of these files or you'll "confuse" iPhoto) the User/Pictures/iPhoto Library (which is itself actually a container of 21 items 8 of which are folders)
You should reindex your drive after making massive changes... you may be looking at old (cached) data in the Storage report.
Open the Spotlight system preferences and then drag your hard drive to the Privacy list, then back off again. This action will clear the index and cause the system to rebuild it from scratch. The second approach is to run the following Terminal command, which will likewise erase the Spotlight index:
sudo mdutil -E /
After the index has been erased, you will see the indexing progress bar appear in the Spotlight menu. Reindexing may take a while to complete (sometimes several hours depending on the type and size of the drive's contents), but after it's done, the system information utility should properly report file sizes. -
Why did time machine delete all my backups ??
In time machine, I wanted to delete an old Lion backup to make more space for my new Mountain Lion. So within the "Star Wars" interface, I selected a few old backup directories (with the date on them), from year 2012. I had several backups from year 2013 I still wanted to keep... So i used the action button (the icon with the wheel) and asked to delete the selected directories of year 2013... But after waiting about 15 minutes to complete, all the backup including from year 2013 are GONE ! And the automatic backup from the new Mountain Lion started.
How come ?Natael wrote:
@Pondini : yep, everything. 4 weeks ago was the most recent backup of all the Lion's ones.
Maybe. How did you do the upgrade? If you erased and installed, that could explain what seems to have happened, depending on how you put your stuff back. If so, there may be a fix, and you may not have lost the backups.
If you don't put things back in just the way Time Machine expects, it treats the drive as a different one, so does a full backup. And you've got messages for a full backup.
We have seen a few reports that TM occasionally does that even on a normal upgrade "in place" but I'm not sure how accurate they are.
See if the procedure in #E3 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting will display the old backups.
Now i'm reluctant to remove some old backups of my other macbook Snow Leopard's time machine... they are saved on the same HDD that i'm using for the ML.
In the same partition?
The widget doesn't "recall" removing anything. It seems to mention the error because of the lack of space, and/or a mounting problem.
No, no space problem. If it deleted backups, each one would be documented, although that might have been done on an earlier backup.
Could not back up OS X Recovery to /Volumes/MACDATA/Backups.backupdb: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=-69737 "Unable to mount recovery partition" UserInfo=0x7fd01438a350 {NSLocalizedDescription=Unable to mount recovery partition}
That's Time Machine trying to copy the Recovery HD to the Time Machine drive. Either there isn't one, or it may be damaged.
Error: Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-50 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -50.)" (paramErr: error in user parameter list) deleting backup: /Volumes/MACDATA/Backups.backupdb/Macintosh/2013-06-06-114031.inProgress/BD2B91 A4-6790-42E6-AEBE-E631D990D253
That's a bogus message; trying to delete something it couldn't find from the work file.

Why did Snow Leopard delete ALL of my leopard time machine backups?
I received my copy of snow leopard on Friday. I verified my time machine backups were functioning and current. At the time my backups went back to April of 2009. I performed the upgrade from leopard (10.5.8) to snow leopard (an actual upgrade not a re-install). There were no issues with the upgrade. Today (one day after the upgrade) I noticed time machine running. When looked at what time
Machine was doing it said it was "deleting backups". After that finished it performed a backup. When I went into time machine after that my backups only go back to yesterday. It appears time machine has wiped out all of my leopard based backups. Are
y leopard based backups still there? This appears to mean I can't rollback to leopard or even get files pre snow leopard. It would have been nice to have confirmation from time machine before it did this....Time Machine shows the oldest backup is Friday, August 28, 2009. I downloaded Time Machine Buddy widget and it works but froze on me twice. I followed the advice in this article (http://www.macworld.com/article/131534/2008/01/tmeye.html) and used the console utility searching for the backupd process. The system logs only go back to 8-29-09 so maybe the logs got purged. The logs do show however that Time Machine deleted the old backups so it could make a 147gb backup. It did this a couple of times....I'm beginning to think though that it has to do with my updating to ilife 09 as well. I updated to ilife09 on Saturday 8/29/09. I have a 140gb photo library (the downside of owning a nikon d80). Updating iphoto 09 tweaks your photo library several times (initial install, after pulling down latest updates from apple, etc). I have a 750gb internal boot drive and a 750gb external time machine drive. I think that each time iphoto tweak the iphoto library it had to perform a ~150gb backup. This would have quickly canabalized all of my old backups... so bottom line is it's the iphoto upgrade and my large iphoto library and NOT Snow Leopard that caused this issue...oops my bad! A work around would have been to shut off time machine before I upgraded to ilife09... and then not turn it back on until iphoto was settled down with updating the library.

Got my Iphone. Already had itunes and was able to figure out how to put my music on. Got a new laptop with Windows 8. Downloaded itunes and authorized this new computer. Imported a cd to the library, then couldn't sync the new songs from the cd. Somehow started a sync, then boom all the music was gone from the iphone. Maybe I hit a restore button? Don't have a clue what I am doing, now I have managed to get only the imported songs from the library onto the iphone, but none of the others. Everytime I plug it into my laptop, my photo stream asks if I want to download all my pics, that are already downloaded, and doesn't open itunes. Help. I am getting fed up and cant even figure out how to download the user manuals on any of this stuff!

I received an Iphone 5 as a gift two days ago. The first thing I did was set up ICloud for photos. Itunes would not allow me to add songs to my new phone without restoring it, yet when I did this, it deleted all 129 photos of my graduation and friends from the past two days. And I cannot find them anywhere, photo stream, ICloud, nothing. Where can I get back my memories?
Were the photos taken by your new iPhone? If so, did you not import them off your phone to your computer (as you would any other digital camera) before the restore? If not, restoring wiped the data off the phone and your pictures are gone.
Sounds like a good time to (re)read the User Guide. -
I deleted all my pictures on camera roll and it still says I'm using 6.6 GB
I deleted all my pictures on my Ipad for more space and it still says that I am using 6.6 GB on photos. I've seen a lot of posts on this, but still can't come to any solution. HELP!!! Thank you so much for any help offered. It's driving me crazy!

I then restored my iPad and they gave me the option
To restore my apps, which I did.
I believe that is not exactly correct.
You get two options - restore as new, or restore from your backup. You chose to restore from your backup, which is very different from "restoring your apps."
Try it again. This time, restore as new, and then manually add your apps back in by redownloading them one at a time. -
all my pictures in iPhoto got deleted and i don't know how to get them back so could anyone help me with that ??
We do need more information to help. Are the images gone from your iPhoto library, or is the iPhoto Library missing? How and when did this happen?
If images are missing from the library: Did you check for hidden photos? Did you check the iPhoto Trash?
If the pictures are still in the iPhoto Trash, open the Trash, select the images and and press the liitle arrow in the lower right corner - select "Put back".
If the pictures are still in an "iPhoto" folder in the system Trash (with sub folders named by date), import these folders to your iPhoto library.
Have you checked, if you have opened the correct iPhoto Library? Launch iPhoto with the options key held down, to select another Library.
If the entire Library is missing, have you searched for ".photolibrary" with spotlight?
Do have a backup?
If none of these easy measures helps, report back with more details - your iPhoto version, and anything else that might be helpful to find out, what the problem is. Don't do anything that changes the contents of your hard drive for now.

Please see the bold. If you're out of icloud storage, then you won't be able to backup to icloud unless you purchase more storage, but yet you said you backup to icloud.
If you really did backup to icloud no data would be loss - sounds to me that it didn't backup since you had no more free icloud storage space.

I right clicked my iPod on iTunes and clicked restore from back up because i thought it would undo my IOS6 update. IT DELETED ALL MY PICTURES (2,000) AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET THEM BACK!!!! Please help me!!!!!
Well, if you have not backed them up, they are gone.
Next time, when you have important material in only one place, back it up. -
Is there a way to Quickly organize, consolidate & save the Original (Pictures, Movies, etc.) yet delete all duplicate (Pictures, Movies, etc.)?
I wanted to first thank you for this, as this is the only workaround literature that seems to be floating around out there. With that said, I know it is a big ask, but is there any way that you could create a video showing step by step how to do what you do? I have several tracks that are stuck in waiting mode, and if left in itunes, will never upload or match...they only cause the upload process to hang up and restart. I've tried leaving it for days...I've tried converting the files, signing in and out of itunes (and itunes match), updating itunes match, and I tried your technique...unfortunately to no avail. Perhaps I didn't do your technique correctly. I used audacity to reverse the audio.
ANY help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
Thanks
