Did iPhoto delete my pictures? Can I get them back?

All my phots in iPhoto are gone..
I saved them while traveling both in iPhoto and in files on my desktop.
Home again, I deleted the files on my desktop, checking all the time, that the photos weren't being deleted from iPhoto. I turned my computer off, and a few hours I had to show some of my pics to a friend, and the were ALL gone!!
What do I do?/what did I do wrong?
Is there ANY chance I might get them back - those are picture from 3 months of traveling...
Please help - thank you!

What system and iPhoto versions are you using.  Assuming it's iPhoto 9 or later do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

    If you are running Lion then all drivers are distributed through Software Update. You do not need to install anything, other than to install the printer in System Preferences > Print & Scan. If you already added the printer while it was connected using USB, you might want to delete it and set it up again wirelessly to avoid confusion. Or, give them two distinct names e.g. "Photosmart D110 (USB)" and "Photosmart D110 (wireless)".
    All scanning functions are now performed using Preview, but you can also access the scanner through the same Print & Scan preference pane, or with Image Capture.
    This HP document may help explain how driver software is distributed now:

    Oh!
    First thing I think would be to do a search for the folder in case it's somehow got moved.
    Failing that, you can retrieve the folder from your original installer disc using Pacifist.
    Insert the disc (don't boot from it) and open the installer package with Pacifist. Navigate to the Desktop Pictures folder (might be a bit more fiddly to find in the package structure). When you find it, select the folder, right-click (or ctrl-click) and select 'install in default location' from the context menu.
    Exit Pacifist and eject the disc.
    Best of luck!

  • I took photos and they saved in my camera roll. they were there the next morning. I took more pictures and they are all gone. why did they not save and can i get them back ?

    I took photos on my iPhone on yesterday and they all saved. I looked at my photos the next day and they were still there. I took more photos and now none of the last photos that I took in the last two days are there. Why did they not save? Can I get them back? My storage was not full. I just updated my iPhone to ios 7.1 a few days before.

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • HT1766 accidentally deleted my notes. can i get them back?

    if i deleted my notes on i phone 4 can i get them back & How?

    Not sure why you posted your iPhone question in the support forum for the Apple routers.......the AirPort Time Capsule, AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express.
    You will likely receive a more informed answer if you post your iPhone question in the iPhone support forum. The link is just below.

  • Some of my movies I had on my iPod deleted and I can't get them back?

    I had The Hunger Games, Breaking Dawn Part 2, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower on my iPod. They were a free digital copy download from when I bought the movies. I backed up my iPod after putting them on, but today I plugged my iPod into my computer and deleted my purchases (I got those back) but it deleted Breaking Dawn Part 2, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower and I cannot get them back! Could I have some help?

    Synced media like apps, music and videos are not included in the backup that iTunes makes.
    If you can't redownload the digital copies by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store and y do not have them on your computer or computer file backup than all you can do is contact iTunes

  • All my notes have been deleted and I can't get them back

    M-My notes had doubled so. Deleted the doubled up notes when I went on the app late they had all dissapeared my phine and ipad have since synced with icloud again is thee anyway of retrieving them I am desperate

    You probably deleted them yourself and they weren't actually doubled. If you have a recent backup, restore that backup (you may want to get any pictures off the phone since the backup) to see if your notes are contained in the backup.

  • I reset my iPad all information was saved by the cloud except for my pictures  can I get them back , I'm so distraught over this will I be able to ever get them back

    How can I retrieve ,if any way, my pictures back to my iPad

    I don't know a lot about icloud (not a fan of it) but someonemore knowledgeable might have a solution for you. I know there ahave been many threads here with the same question. The pictures should not be gone. They are there somewhere.
    Whatever you so, though, do not resync or anything like that yet.
    There is an app that might help you. It's recovery-android and should be in hte itunes app store. It works with all ios devises. At recovery-android.com there is a free trial. Make sure you know what you are doing so that you do not delete the photos.
    Hope this helps.

  • All My 560 contact suddenly are no longer exist eventhough I did not erase any how can I get them back???

    I was thinking to retrieve them
    Only from my laptop iTunes by just want to access contact application
    And nothing else I mean no photo want to retrieve or calendar because on my iPod I have more up to date info in calendar and note and more pictures in my iPod than iTunes last time I back it up
    Since last month??
    Please anyone had same problem and solve it ?

    thank you for the reply
    but there is no way to only restore contact from the back up
    otherwise i have to accept to restore all (includes notes, calendar..etc) and that would overwrite everything on my IPod.
    while I haven't backed up my IPod since 40 days, so I have more info in my notes and claendar in my ipod than the back up
    Please advise?
