Help me restore my iPhoto library which disapeared
So I have a 2013 217 GB Macbook air running OSX 10.9.4. Last night, I accidentally deleted some pictures off of iphoto that I wish I hadn't. About an hour ago I went into my time machine (fully backed up) and attempted to restore my iphoto library. After 3 minutes it asked me if i wanted to replace the file the preexisting file of the same name, obviously I said yes. After about 10 minutes I received the following error message: "The finder can't complete then operation because some data in 'iPhoto Library.photolibrary' can't be read or writted (error code -36)." After this I noticed that not only did the library not get restored, but now my entire iphoto library has disappeared. I don't know where it went: it's not in the trash or anywhere on my computer as far as i can tell. I attemepted to restore the library 2 more times from different time machine backups and recieved the same message. Could somebody please help me to recover my lost 44 gigs or photos? This is not good.
