It's been, what, almost 20 years that's we've been making ourselves crazy over lost electronica, e.g., documents, essays, book chapters, priceless photographs, whatever, right? So many of us gave up on PC's and made the switch to Mac and have pretty sane since, correct?
Nu, so what happened to my iPhoto program?
Perhaps I shouldn't go public with my incriminating carelessness (btw, it's not in the Trash even though the computer says it is).
Given the choice, though, this addled act is certainly less painful than the loss of other truly irreplaceable items that have recently gone AWOL. In addition to the damn iPhoto program, this past month took the lives of a ring (still in denial about that one), a really gorgeous jacket (now come on, right?) and a bluetooth set that couldn't cope with the arduous journey from my house to the car.
Humor me and fess up to your own recent loss list, please?
Anyway, the only immediate relevance to this iPhoto conundrum is that I wanted to take you with me for a recap of Saturday's stunning hike - miles of wildflowers, snow-covered mountains, you get the drift. But it ain't gonna happen this morning since my computer doesn't acknowledge my card reader and I can't download the pix.
Good lord, my vocabulary's gone AWOL, too.

Mac schmac. While we wish they were, computers are not infallible. It's probably some setting...or some irreplaceable part. I can fix a PC but a Mac leaves me tense. Hope you figure it out because those pics are valuable! (BTW, if you haven't invested in a portable hard drive to back up your photos, you should. The recent death of my hard drive made me glad I had one!)
ReplyDeleteSecond that suggestion on the removable hard drive backup. Now my old Mac can crash if needed.
ReplyDeleteI lost a watch last week. Frustrating, and makes me crazy not to know the time.
4/23/10 So it's not just me. My MacBook Pro's iphoto turns pix into little black boxes, gray boxes with exclamation points, or disappears them altogether, especially when I try to copy one for safekeeping. I just tallied them with the many other things I've lost -- coats in particular. It makes me feel a little nutso after awhile. But I console myself with our two labradoodles and my partner of 29 years who you met yesterday, Ketzel, at PCC. Val
ReplyDeleteVB Lost list:
ReplyDelete1) one earring, always one, never a pair (really too many to admit to, but this most recent really hurts)
2) phone holster (oh, look it's wedged between seat and seat belt buckle)
3) raincoat (I KNOW! Oh, in the basement metal closet with all the other off season stuff - what was I thinking?)
4) Innocence (no interest in finding it)
