Why were my photos erased after the update?

I updated my iMac to OSX Mavericks a few weeks ago, and when it got restarted I figured all my photos are gone from iPhoto! My photo stream got back after a while, but all my videos are gone. Why did this happen? Are they stored in someplace else?

No, it's not the same for other macs. I would recommend (hindsight being 20/20) to make a backup of your system. Time Machine is a guardian, you can't predict when data loss is going to happen, so always being ready for it is your best bet.
As for photos disappearing, did you save your library on an external hard drive? If so, iPhoto could have lost its "link" with that library. Try launching the library (open external, double click on it).
If not, open iPhoto with the "option" key held down. Do you see any other libraries in this list other than your "default"? If yes, open them up, let's see if your images are in there.

  • TS5216 Can not find camera in facetime and photo booth after the update of 10.8.5(12F45)

    I can use it before but after get it update, the MBA cant find the camera.

    After the original (flawed) update to OS X 10.8.5 was installed, the internal camera of a 2013 MacBook Air would not work in Skype and some other third-party applications. The flaw was fixed in a supplemental update. However, if you followed some questionable advice that was circulating on this site to hack your system before installing the supplemental update, then it will not restore camera functionality; in fact, the camera won't work at all. The solution in that case, most likely, is to install the 10.8.5 Combo update.
    In the future, I suggest you ignore advice to hack your system by replacing, removing, or changing built-in system components.

  • Why can I not disable the guest user in the 10.8.2 update? I have never enabled the guest user, but after the update, it was automatically enabled with a "managed" tag. It is not selectable even after entering my admin password to unlock the options.

    Why can I not disable the guest user in the 10.8.2 update? I have never enabled the guest user, but after the update, it was automatically enabled with a "managed" tag. It is not selectable even after entering my admin password to unlock the options. I was able to select the account under "parental controls", but again, could not delete it. Why Apple? Why?!!????

    SOLVED Ok. I actually was able to disable it. I had to actually log in as the guest user to make it accessible in the preference window. Then I disabled it and logged out. Apologies if this was obvious for some people, but I have had some sort of issue with something every update since Snow Leopard.

    Hey High Socks,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, iTunes isn't working when you try to launch it. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

  • Why do I have 2 versions of the program pages on my mac after the update?

    Why do I have 2 versions of the program pages on my mac after the update?

    Do you have both the old and the new version? If so, you must have purchased Pages via the retail DVD (iWork) - the installer does not update in this case, but installs a brand new version separately giving you the choice of which one you want to use.

    After the updating fire fox 5.0 the internet download manager not working (not compatible) can you explain why?

    Add-on developers need to keep up with new versions of Firefox as they are released and update their product. Have you checked with IDM to see if they have an update for you to install? Or ask them when they are going to have an update ready for 5.0.
    Another thing you could do is to install FlashGot. <br />

    The developer of Flashgot, Giorgio Maone, keeps his extensions compatible with versions of Firefox that are still in development - future release versions.

    Mozilla, like many other software companies, thoroughly test their software before releasing it to the public and I'm sure that no problem you are having is intentional.
    I do not work for Mozilla but I do have experience of releasing software for public usage.
    Firefox has no way of knowing what other software is already on your computer and with millions of combinations it isn't always possible to test for every scenario.
    You can go back to the old version of Firefox but that won't always solve your problem.

  • HT5706 After the update the Apple TV will not work -  It puts up a symbol to connect to the Icloud - which I do not have the cable for or know what it means or why -  Message do not update if it works

    After the update to the Apple TV, it will not work -  It puts up a symbol to connect to the Icloud - which I do not have the cable for or know what it means or why - 
    Message to users is, do not update if it works.  This product apparently was not tested very well

    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.
    If when you choose restore you get a message that the device cannot be found, download the file below
    Apple TV Software Restore 5.1.1 (2nd generation)
    Apple TV Software Restore 5.1.1 (3rd generation)
    Then hold down the option key while choosing restore and select the downloaded file when prompted.
