Marta, Thanks for your help. Yes, both of my Macs are running the same system -- OS 10.5.8. But I know next to nothing about syncing and am not familiar with .Mac. Guess I need to do some homework. Nolan ___ MacGroup mailing list

Sounds like the shortcuts transferred and not the actual files. Where do the shortcuts lead to? Should be a way for him to backtrack and locate the missing files. On 8/2/10, Harry Jacobson-Beyer harr...@me.com wrote: A friend spent a month in France and took over 900 fotos with his iPhone.

He might want to try a windows program like http://www.i-funbox.com/ To view the files on his iPhone. I use Phone View for OSX for this propose. If the files are not on the iPhone there really is no other place to look. I was suggesting how I handle my important photos by triple backing up all

Try mounting and repairing it with the version of Disk Utility that came with your system. This doesn't always work, but often enough that it's worth a try. If DU doesn't do it, the you may want to acquire Drive Genius, which is more likely to work. On Aug 2, 2010, at 5:45 PM, Nora
