Did you do something such as reinstall OS X? i.e. do a clean install? Also, did you do regular backups using Time Machine?
to be honest i have no idea. the only thing i have updated is microsoft word. i was not using it when it happened my boyfriend was and he said he did not do anything to make everything delete. I found majority of my things in the trash bin but not all of my pictures. just the pictures i exported from aperture.
OK…so…did you do a recent Time Machine backup that you could retrieve your Aperture Library from?
no. i am new to the system and did not even know that i could do that. r they just gone forever?
I’d recommend you take your MB to the Apple Store to see if they can help.
Luara,
I think a trip to the Apple Store is the best option. Honestly, it’s not possible for the computer to just “delete everything”. Either someone put “everything” in the trash, or something got moved, or it’s even possible that a new account was created and your info is sitting happily in the original account.
This isn’t something that can easily be trouble-shot over email support, and to be honest this is not an Aperture issue, so we really can’t help you here. If you don’t have an Apple store nearby, you should find someone locally who can sit in front of your computer and look around.
Just in case things were actually deleted, minimize use of your computer until this is resolved, as that will increase the odds of being able to recover deleted files.
Sorry we can’t help more.
