 * The images keep going missing on the website and media. But the files are still
   in the ftp.

 * It sounds like you moved your Website to a new hosting account. If that is the
   case, try using the ADD FROM SERVER plugin to rebuild your media library. You
   may have to change some image links in your posts if the FTP directory is different
   from the old hosting account.
 * If you did NOT move to a new hosting account, can you please explain what you
   have changed recently? Anything may be significant.

 * I have this issue that the images are in my posts and they are not in the media
   library.
 * When I click on the image to get the name so I can do a search to find it (I 
   want to set all my featured images) there is no name to the image (weird). All
   that data is gone.
 * I did not change hosting accounts.
 * Lots of images are missing.
 * Some not on the server either, but there in the blog? How can that be?
 * I recently exported many posts to import into another WordPress blog. Would that
   have deleted images out of the media library?
