Why is iPhoto suddenly missing from OX 10.8.5?

I rarely use iPhoto but today I tried to open it and it is inexplicably missing from my computer. I have a MacBook Air from a couple of years ago and I'm running OX 10.8.5. I'm holding off of Mavericks until problems are resolved and my IT guy says it's okay. What happened to iPhoto? I cannot use the new iPhoto until I have maverick.

reinstall from the original source
Could be
1 - the restore disks that came with the computer
or
2 - the iLife DVD that you purchased
or
3 - the app store - log in under the Apple id used to purchase the software or to set up the computer - look under purchases - you might have to unhide or accept the Application first

Why did iphoto suddenly disappear from my computer?

I tried to launch iphoto from my dock last night and it had a ? mark on the icon. I looked for the application on my computer and it is gone. Nothing in the trash and I am the only user of this computer. I have reinstalled the application but I would like to know why this happened. Microsoft Word also dissappeared in the same way. Could this be an OSX problem? I am currently running OSX 10.6.8. Has anyone had similar issues?

I actually did have a similar problem. iPhoto never left but I saw a generic "piece of paper with the 'A' application symbol" application icon in iPhoto's place with a ø symbol over that. It said iPhoto was corrupt or was missing files so it wouldn't let me open it. Not that it mattered in my case because I never use it, but nevertheless this is still a mystery to me.

Why is the macbook missing from Apple online store ?

Why is the Macbook missing from the Apple Online store ? Can someone let me know what's going on ?

Gone, *poof*.
I miss it and I think Apple should have kept it around as it's low key machine, great for kids and adults who didn't like a lot of flash.
Now the 13" MacBook Pro is considered the equivalent on a similar performance basis, however it has the bright silver rich looking case that draws thieves attention and really isn't a "Pro" machine at all with it's inferior low performing integrated graphics.
Heck most $500-$800 Windows laptops are just the same in performance and has a larger 15" screen.
If you need a anti-glare screen you have to opt for the 15" or 17" MacBook Pro and pay $50 more for the anti-glare, but it's worth it. The 13" doesn't have a anti-glare option, but we are petitioning Apple to include that option.
I think Apple considered the MacBook as a educational computer, thus replaced it for a line of iPads which make considerable more margins and provides less hardware benefits as all the hardware features, stand, keyboard etc. are separate purchases.

Why is iPhoto suddenly in my Trash basket?

Why does iPhoto suddenly appear in my Trash basket, and how do I get it out?

As far as I can see, it did "jump in there all by itself". That is why I am asking the question.
I dragged it back to the application folder, so now I have an iPhoto with an icon in the application folder, and an iPhoto folder also in the applications folder.

Why has safari suddenly disappeared from my iPhone

Why has Safari suddenly disappeared from my iPhone?

It is not possible to delete Safari, it may have moved to a different screen. Do a search for the app or you can click on your settings>general>reset then select reset home screen layout.

The Camera app is suddenly missing from my iPhone, how do I get it back?

My camera app is suddenly missing from my phone.. how do I get it back or find it? it's not in any 'folders' -- Same with my Safari app-- Not sure if my 2 yr old deleted it? I didn't think those were deletable apps.

Default apps are part of the iOS and cannot be deleted. Search all home screens and all folders and/or search for it with Spotlight, that will tell you what folder it's in.
Also check Settings > General > Restrictions to see if it has been restricted.
If not found, Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.

Entire iPhoto pictures missing from external hard drive.

Hello, I have already posted this problem but I'm not sure it was clear enough and not getting the response I needed. I had a Jan 2011 white laptop came with snow leopard, and I upgraded to Lion. A good few months ago, my daughter splashed a small amount of water on it, whilst it was turned on and open. I dried off the water I could see, and the mac was still working so I assumed it was ok. (At this time it had a very low battery and was not connected to a power source) Later on in the afternoon, forgetting about the incident, I did the unthinkable and plugged in the power lead. Result: nothing, the laptop would not boot up, I tried a few times, even holding down the power key for extended time but nothing. I eventually gave up and got myself a new macbook 10.9.2 then two days ago, took the old burnt out laptop to a place to get them to remove the hard drive and fit it in a case for me with a usb connection. They done this, I got home and connected the external hard drive off my old mac into my new mac, success I could see it but when I tried launching I photo from the external HD (old lap top) on my new mac. (I didn't realise there would be a software issue which is obvious now)The new mac with mavericks said it could not open iphoto. So I tried searching for the photo files manually on my external hard drive (but there was nothing) The user files were completely empty. It showed hardly any bytes (indicating I had nothing) My itunes files where gone too, and I could find no files I needed that were originally on my old (mac/ now external harddrive) The only items that were intact were the documents in the documents folder and the applications. I took the external hd back to the repair shop and they said they could not find them. They said they would charge me £100 for an attempted recovery of data which I 'm now not sure what to do, as I'm unsure what has happened. I desperately would like to get some of the data back, i;e (some files from desktop and photos) as frustratingly it was not backed up....
My questions are:
1.Would trying to open iphoto, and itunes from my external HD with earlier software in 10.9.2 Mavericks cause me to lose data (including desktop files) ?
2. Could the water damage be the issue for destroying the data? (although other data is still there)
3. Is it likely the files are still on my external hd and I just can't see them (although the low bytes seems to indicate perhaps not)
4. Is there a reliable data recovery program out there someone can recommend I can get and use that may recover the files, and do I download it on my new mac, and direct it to the external hd?
5. Would apeture locate the missing iphoto picture files from the external HD and integrate it into the library on my mavericks?
6. Could the problem be caused by leaving the HD in my old(water damaged) laptop for so long before I tried rescuing it?
Any light on situation much appreciated. Apologies if this issue already been aswered, I did scour but did not see help I needed.
Thanks in advance

Hi T,
Thanks again for reply. Just checked my mac for the first time without the external HD attached. I had a hard time trying to get back into this site on my new mac. Now I keep getting a pop up that says (https:// discussions.apple.com bad gateway) with ok button every every 30 secs or or something after that I can't type except if I click ok. Prior to that I had some message telling me something about proxy server gateway no access or something. Not happenign on other sites so perhaps just a random error, (hope I have now not picked up a bug or another insidious thing from some site whilst trying to resolve my old HD probs....)
Extremely annoying!!
Well I checked as you asked. This is the process.(if you can tell me how to take a screen shot I will do it, but at moment I don't know how to do that exactly)
At the moment I have got my HD showing on my desk top Top RH corner, like they used to in the good old days before it all changed. I do this, because everything is conveniently placed in one place. Call me old fashioned I guess..
(Not to change the thread but this pop up thing is driving me mad...)
If I doubleclick on that by default it opens with five folders in it, I;E applications, library, system, user information, users.
When I click on Users.
It is here I find the user file with a user name that I have NEVER entered into this new mac, (especially with old MAC HD attached as I did not want any confusion) I even re-named my old HD (OLD mac HD)
This new user file even has the icon of a HOUSE instead of a folder, which is something off older OS as far as I know, I never saw it in mavericks before attaching this encased contraption which is just a metal box as far as I see that holds my old HD, but annoyingly done by someone that may not have known what they were doing..
Why the heck is it there? It should not be there!
When I click on this old (home folder) as that is what it used to be, and that was the name of my OLD HD before it got the name (old mac HD) which now I think of it, was not changed by me by default... which is a thought.. I only added the word OLD to it..
Well it has all my default folders such as desk top, docs, movies, pictures ect.. When I click on pictures I have my new iphoto library and another folder called root which has the salvaged files I saved there from the recovery software Stellar Pheonix which I downloaded a couple of days ago but can't actually open with preview anyway. I tried to do it with an old version of CS 5 photoshop to see if that would work, but I could not get photoshop to open in mavericks even after java update)
The interesting thing is is: if I go to system preferences in my dock I click on users it only has the user folders I specified that should be there on my new mac.
now peeved. and this annoying pop up.....Situ does not seem to be getting any better!
Instructions please how to post screenshot..
PS sorry about LONG POST

Vision Acquisition Software installed, BUT why is the IMAQdx missing from the function palette?

I just installed to the labview 2011, and many other modules and softwares including this VASAugust2010. But the IMAQdx is missing from the function palette (vision and motion). However the NI-IMAQ 4.5, IN-IMAQ IO 2.4.0 and NI-IMAQdx 3.7 are all clearly listed as installed in the NI software (contorl panel -> program - NI). In MAX, my usb webcam is also listed as NI-IMAQdx Devices and works well under MAX. But my own program is broken because the LV can't find those functions. So why the IMAQdx funtion is missing and how to fix it?
Thanks,
Lei

Why is implicit deny missing from outside int incoming access rules after upgrade from 8.25 to 9.1?

i have just noticed that after upgarde of image and asdm to 911 and 711, the implicit deny acl is missing from the outside interface. Is this deliberate or a poor upgrade. i am upgrading from 8.25 normally, depends what the reseller sends me.
should this be happening or am i upgrading in too large a jump?
thanks,
david

Hi,
Would really see some screencapture / output of the thing you are referring to.
I imagine that you are perhaps referring to something related to ASDM? I dont personally really use ASDM at all for ASA configurations to I am not up to date on the possible problems it might have or changes made to its interface.
I am not sure if you have an ACL attached to the "outside" interface? If so then I think the ASDM should show the Implicit Deny at the end while this wont show on the CLI side at all.
I did just check my own ASA at home which is running 9.0(2) and ASDM 7.1(2) at the moment and it doesnt show an Implicit Deny for my LAN or WAN interfaces ACL.
Though the basic ACL operation is still in effect. If its not allowed in the ACL then its blocked by Implicit Deny. This can be confirmed with "packet-tracer" test on your firewall also.

Top line suddenly missing from display - where did it go? how can I get it back? Don't have finder, time and date, options...

Top line is suddenly missing: no finder, no options, no date and time or wifi status, no time capsule to return to previous settings! Can't figure out what happened.

You can only sync with one computer. When you synced to the new computer it would have erased it and synced what was on the new computer.
You always need to have a backup, an iPhone is not a storage device.
When you get a new computer you need to transfer your library before syncing
If you don't have a backup you may be out of luck
The only thing would be if you're in the US and have access to the iCloud beta to reload purchases

Why is mlb.tv missing from internet menu?

Purchased AppleTV about a month ago...MLBTV subscriber...
Since Wednesday, March 7, MLBTV has been missing from the "Internet" menu. Before this, I had no problems accessing and watching MLB Spring Training games. All other apps still there (Youtube, NHL, Vimeo, etc.). Tried a full reset, tried holding menu button down reset, tried unplugging...nothing...MLBTV still missing from menu...
Any ideas with that going on here?

You do not seem to be alone.
Either there are several spurious update issues or perhaps the variosu servers involved in supplying this content are having issues.
Assume you've done the 'no harm trying it' option of unplugging and restrating the router and appleTV.

Why are some apps missing from 'background app refresh'?

I noticed Runkeeper (current version) is missing from 'background app refresh'. In order to start tracking a run, it has to be enabled in BAF...but it's not there. I've rebooted and reinstalled - no dice. Any advice?

Go to the purchased tab of the app store on your iPad and try downloading them from there. Unless these apps have been updated to only work with a newer iOS version than what you are running, you should be able to download them again.

Why is iPhoto suddenly deleting my sets from Flickr??

I am trying to upload a few photos to my Flickr account (Pro) and when I do it first said unable to connect. Now iPhoto connects, but it says "deleting set blank from your Flickr account" Why is this happening?

Yes, I have the same problem for iphoto 11. It deletes a photo set when I navigate away from the upload page and tells me so with a pop up box.
I used to work fine in iPhoto '09.

Why are the css tabs suddenly missing from my FF pages?

One of my sites (www.dminkler.com/art.html) no longer shows css/javascript tabs (domtabs) in FF on Linux or Windows. These tabs appear (as they always have) in Safari, Chrome, and IE. The tabs appear in my Linux Chrome as well.
The links for the tabs appear above the content div, along with some of the css, but the tabs have left the building.
I have cleared all of the caches for all of the browsers noted above, and the other browsers render the tabs just as they should, on my Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04 platforms.
I also checked the FF version and "Reset" it. Still no tabs.
Anyone else having this issue or know how to fix it?

Works here on Linux.
You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Edit > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Audio tracks suddenly missing from capture... need help!

Hi! I have been capturing video (with audio) successfully and routinely for months now. Suddenly, though, when I capture video... from the same device, with the same preset... the clips have only 1 Video track, and no Audio tracks. My camera is still recording audio (and I still hear it during the capture), but the audio tracks just aren't there in the resultant clip. It seems to me like FCE has just decided not to capture audio, as if to say "pffft... we don't need that." But why this happened is beyond me!
Even within this same project, I have other clips captured with audio just fine. I didn't even realize it was an option NOT to capture audio. There aren't any settings to that effect in the Capture window... i.e. there's nothing to turn OFF, so I don't know how to turn it back ON! HELP! How do I get audio back on my captured clips? Is there a way to toggle this? How can I possibly be getting video without audio when the preset has already been working for this device?
Things seemed to change once I started using the Voice Over tool. After that, none of my captured clips have audio. Something I did on or around that time changed FCE internally. I combed through the manual but didn't see any leads. They assume if you have the right preset, it'll just work. No mention of disabling audio.
Please help, because I'm just about ready to throw my Mac throw the wall. I even tried reinstalling FCE, just to get it back to the previous state, but it didn't help.
P.S. I also haven't changed anything on my camera that would affect audio. I feel this is just a setting somewhere in FCE that I can't find and don't even know where to look for it...
Thanks in advance!!

Hi. Where should I look for them? I haven't had much success finding things on my own, so please spell it out for me.
I just find this so odd... it would be one thing for the tracks to be silent or garbled, then I would think this was a cable issue or the camera. But I can't even imagine why the audio tracks would just not be there. If I saw a preference for "Video Only Capture" somewhere, it would make sense.
Anyway, thanks. Please tell me where there's a prefs file, and I'll roast it.
