Missing files from pictures library
Hi,
A large number of files has disappeared from my computer and I can't find them anywhere:
I have a folder within the Pictures library entitled "To be printed" - it's where I dump all my photos from my phone initially before I sort through them to decide what to keep.
I had around 500 files in this folder (mostly JPEGS and a couple of MOV files). A few weeks ago I added 95 new photos to this folder. The next time I looked in the folder it was acting strangely. The new 95 photos didn't appear to be there and only the 500 or so old files were there. The files are arranged by day. When I clicked arrange by folder however the 95 new photos appeared and the other 500 disappeared - when arranged by day the folder told me I had 500 items in the folder and when I clicked arrange by folder I was told I had 95 files in the folder. I shut the computer down and the next time I logged on the folder only had the new 95 files and there was no sign of the 500 or so older files, no matter what I arrange the folder by. I've searched the whole computer for JPEG and MOV files and there is no sign anywhere.
Any ideas? I've hit a brick wall and can't think of anything else - the missing files are holiday pics and videos of my kids and I'd be gutted to lose them.
Thanks,
Steve
