HT4946 Deleted photos by mistake can I get them back

I Have deleted my photos by mistake on my iPhone 4s is there a way to get them back.

How exactly was this all done - step by step
the correct way to move your iPhoto library to an exter4nal drive is
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive
And once you move it there is no reason to delete photos form the new location - taht is why you moved it to allow space for it
one possible guess is that you need to switch to the correct library - as noted above depress and hold the option key and launch iPhoto - use the select library window to select the correct library
another possible guess is that you have a corrupted library on the external drive - be sure you are using that library and Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database
Please post back with more specific information

I deleted some photos by mistake, can i get them back?

i deleted some photos by mistake, is there any way to get them back?

Hi,
First, don't give up and DO NOT restore your ipad. That will guarantee your pictures will be gone. Can you give more info? Has it been synced with itunes before/after you took the pictures? Please let us know all info including whether or not you use icloud backups.
Meanwhile, you might want to read this - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5463971?start=0&tstart=0.
More info might help you get more specific info to retrieve your pictures.
Also, I just googled the question "how retrieve deleted pictures from ipad" and a list of sites/links came up. I haven't/don't have time to read them right now, but if you google it you might get some answers. However, don't act too fast. Know the source of the links and consider those sources. Read them and user reviews/responses to see if the different solutions work.
Hope this helps.

HT4914 Once I deleted my music files can I get them back via I cloud? I have Itunes match on.

Once I deleted my music files can I get them back via I cloud? I have Itunes match on.

I actually deleted my backup :-) That's the problem. But thanks.
I've managed to get some back but via a slightly different method.
Because the files weren't there, when I deleted them from my library they actually disappeared from the list.... So I created a new library (backed up my original one) and then synched that with Match so that all the files appeared. I'm just going through the ones I'm missing clicking 'download' and then when they're all back on my hard drive I'll revert to the previous Library which will hopefully pick up all of the recovered files.
Bingo!

Photos on Nano - Can I get them back to my computer?

I'll try to be brief. I recently re-installed the operating sys on my macbook. Before I did so I backed up everything (at least I thought I did). My back-up did not contain all of my photos. I thought they were gone, but they are still on my nano. Question is can I get them back? I tunes is now asking me to re-synch my nano (will replace all existing music and phots on the nano with what is on the computer). That's fine on the music end, all of that was backed up and restored. But I can't resynch with the photos or I'll loose them. So how, if it is possible can I get the photos on my nano back to the computer?
Thanks!

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.

As I said for iTunes purchases:

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
For other music you have to get them from where you originally obtained them.

HELP!! I had two libraries in iPhoto, Photos imported the wrong one, and now I have lost 10,000 photos. How can I get them back??

I originally had two libraries in iPhoto, my wife and I share two iMacs at different locations but we wanted to share the photos and it was set up this way Apple Geniuses at the store I have no idea why. Anyway, I updated to OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.3 with the new 'photos' app. It asked me to choose one of the libraries and evidently I assume I must have chosen the wrong one. It only imported 322 random photos, not the 10,000+ we had in iPhoto. I can no longer find these photos or the other library anywhere, it appears to have been deleted. I have tried 'alt' clicking the icon which used to open a 'choose library' box, but this no longer works in photos or iPhoto. I have no idea where it has gone and it contains precious memories over the years including the birth of our children. Can someone please help???

Where is your iPhoto library stored?
my wife and I share two iMacs at different locations but we wanted to share the photos and it was set up this way Apple Geniuses at the store I have no idea why.
Since you are sharing it between two Macs, is the library on an external drive or a NAS, or another remotely mounted volume?
If the library is not on a directly connected disk, formatted MacOS Extended, move the original iPhoto Library to a directly connected, correctly disk.
And the try first the iPhoto Library First Aid Tools on that library. Repair the permissions, and repair the database in iPhoto. Then try to migrate again to Photos.
To repair hold down the alt/option and the command key simultaneously while double clicking the iPhoto Library to launch the iPhoto Library First Aid tools. Hold down both keys firmly and long enough, until the First Aid panel will appear.
The select "Repair Permissions". And then repeat, but select "Repair Database"
But make a current backup of your iPhoto Library before you try this.

Lock Photo app lost all my photo's. Can I get them back?

I had an app that was supposed to keep some of my photo's/video's private per password (LockPhoto HD). It worked fine until the last update. I went in to view a photo and all I have left are empty folders. The folders are still named, but my photo's are gone.
There is no way to contact the software developer or Costani about this app. This has happened to others, too, as the reviews of the app indicate. I have followed the app troubleshooting tips in Support, but nothing.
Is there a way to get my photo's back? How can I contact the developer/company to ask for a fix? Thanks for any help.

There's pretty much nothing anyone here can do for you. It's up to the app developer to support their product.

I upgraded to OSX and lost all my photos from Ilife acan I get them back

I upgraded to OSX and lost all my photos from Iphoto, can I get them back.

Are you sure, you are viewing the correct iPhoto library? iPhoto may have created a new Library.
Hold down the alt/options key ⌥, while you double click iPhoto to launch it. Is there more than one Photo Library in the panel that opens? Then try the other libraries, if your photos are in there.

As Ocean20 say, your only shot at recovering the photos and data is to restore from a backup (with iTunes if you took the backup with iTunes, through iCloud if you took the backup through iCloud).
The erasure is to prevent your data from falling into the hands of somebody who takes your phone and eventually guesses your password. If you feel that the inconvenience caused by this feature and your friend outweighs the trouble that somebody could cause if they got possession of your contacts and other data, you can change this behaviour.

I deleted my photo booth how can i get it back?

i deleted my photo booth how can i get it back?

OK, here are some step by step instructions:
1. Open a Finder window.
2. In the Finder window on the left side you will see a folder that says Applications. Click the folder.
3. Click the Time Machine icon in your Dock and wait for Time Machine to open.
4. On the right side of TM you will see a time line, click a date that you know the Application was still there and wait for TM to go to that date. You will see the date in the bottom center.
5. While in the Applications folder scroll down until you find Photo Booth and then click Restore in the bottom right.
At that point Photo Booth should be restored and working. If it isn't then make an appointment at your local Apple Store and take the machine in. They will help you restore the application. If you don't have an Apple Store in your area contact an AASP or call Apple Care for some help.

Restore from your back up seems an obvious solution.
