Recovered photos?

Hello everyone,
I have a folder, in my iPhoto library called "Recovered photos". That brings 3 questions to me.
1-Why do I have that?
2-Why do the pictures in this folder dont show in the previews? (as if they were not recognized by iphoto)
3-How do I get these pictures back in the regular iphoto folders so that iphoto finds it's way to them again?
Thanks for your help

1-Why do I have that?
Because they are photos that - for some reason - iPhoto doesn't know what to do with.
2-Why do the pictures in this folder dont show in the previews? (as if they were not recognized by iphoto)
That's because they are not recognised by iPhoto.
3-How do I get these pictures back in the regular iphoto folders so that iphoto finds it's way to them again?
Move the Recovered Photos folder to the Desktop, then drag and drop them into the iPhoto Window.

    Whenever I try to open iPhoto, a message comes up saying that 148 photos have been found in the iPhoto Library that have not been imported. It asks me if I want to import them and I say NO but then it places them in a recovered photo folder. I keep deleting the empty recovered photo files but it just keeps asking me every time I go to open iPhoto! I'd love to just get rid of the "found" photos (I can't open them anyway!)
    How do I get rid of them so that I can just open iPhoto straight up without this?
    Linda

    Open your iPhoto Library package with the Finder.
    Click to view full size
    look for a folder titled Import or Importing and move it to the Desktop. Launch iPhoto to see if the message goes away.  If there is no message  check the contents of the Import folder to see if you want to keep any of those image files (usually they have not been imported into iPhoto). If you want to keep them then drag the folder into the open iPhoto window to import.

  • How do I recover photos from my AppleTV photo stream? when I reset my iPhone, I did not get all of my photos back. How do I get these photos off of my Apple TV?

    how do I recover photos from my AppleTV photo stream? when I reset my iPhone, I did not get all of my photos back. How do I get these photos off of my Apple TV?

    Hi MrRhea,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you have photos in your Photo Stream that you would like to download. The photos are not actually stored on your Apple TV, it sounds like they are being displayed from your Photo Stream. Please read over the attached article for information on your Photo Stream and how to download these photos.
    My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
    Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to download all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically.
    In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will import into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture.
    On your PC with My Photo Stream on in the Control Panel, all of your photos will import intoC:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream
    Best regards,
    Joe

  • How can I recover photos from old iphone icloud backup to new one?

    Hello, I had an iPhone 4 which I lost and inside there were some great photos that I want now to recover. In the meanwhile I bought an iPhone5S and I just realized that inside the iCloud backup menu is saying that there is a backup of 3GB of my old iPhone. How can I see if in that backup the photos are there? I have connected my iPhoto App to iCloud but it only finds photos from my new iPhone and not the old one...
    Thanks for your time.

    Hi, Tiago, maybe you can get help from data recovery software. Now things get easy now.
    As far as I know, there are three ways to recover deleted contacts and photos from iPhone 5 with iPhone Data Recovery.
    Way 1: Recover deleted photos from iPhone directly
    Way 2: Using iTunes Backup to recover deleted photos
    Way 3: Using iCloud Backup to recover deleted photos
    You can refer the way 3 of how to recover deleted photos from iPhone to recover photos from  old iPhone iCloud backup.
    Good luck to you.

  • How to recover photos after restoring iPod touch?

    Yesterday, there was an update for the iOS 6, I believe. When I pressed the update button, a message popped up saying that there was a problem with my iPod touch 4G and that I need to restore it. I had absolutely no idea why that message would pop up in the first place because my iPod was working just fine. But I couldn't update my iPod to the newest version if I didn't do what iTunes says... so I was about to restore my iPod, but then I was worried that all of my photos would disappear. So I decided to update my iOS later so that I could transfer all my files on to my computer. I then unplugged my iPod, and tried to turn it on but the home screen wouldn't pop - no matter what I did, all the screen showed was an itunes icon on top with a USB plug-in cord at the bottom. So I had no choice but to restore my iPod. The thing is, once I restored my iPod and all, my photos were all gone and I did not use iCloud as a back-up since a few months ago. All of my recent photos are now gone and I have no idea how to recover them. I've tried programs that aim to recover deleted photos, but they didn't work.
    Is there a way to recover photos after restoring the iPod Touch?

    Hello,
    It is very important to backup your device to the computer before updating or restoring.
    You can restore your device to a previous backup, all the photos that were there when you made the backup should return with it, but I'm afraid that any photos taken or saved after the last backup are unrecoverable.
    I hope this helps.

  • TIP: What to do if the Recovered Photos File will not import into iPhoto...

    Like many others in this forum, I just upgraded to iWork/iLife '06. When I installed iPhoto '06 it trashed my existing iPhoto Folder and placed all of my other existing photos (those not already imported previously into iPhoto) into a recovered photos file. I tried and tried and tried to import those "recovered photos" into iPhoto but it kept returning an error message on import "Unreadable file"
    Finally I selected the "recovered files" then clicked on "Get Info" and found that the permissions were "locked" with a padlock icon. Clicking once on the padlock opened the permissions back to me the "owner" and the iPhoto allowed me to import all of those 425 "recovered photos". Whew! I hope this tip helps someone else out - I had to figure this out on my own...

    The fact that you can use the Raws from your XSi is of no relevance.
    The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
    Changing the Raw specification is one of the ways of upgrading the cameras.
    IPhoto and Aperture support -  or don't -  the same cameras.

  • Is there a way to recover photos that have disappeared during download?

    Yesterday on iPhoto, I watched the download of over 800 shots from my Nikon d5100.  I had some great shots of baby deer, vultures sunning themselves and osprey fishing.  After it finished, as usual I clicked 'delete photos' (I now know to never do that again).  After waiting a long time it was still 'finishing import', but seemed frozen with the 'spinning wheel of death' on my computer screen. I force quit iPhoto, turned off & unplugged my camera.  2nd try same thing, but it then said importing about 500 photos. At the end it froze again, so I repeated my force quit. Third try it said importing 142 photos and actually finished the import. Usually it will say 'found xxx photos that need to finish importing’ & that's when the rest of my images usually show up but not this time. Only 13 photos showed up.
    I've searched my back ups, tried ‘rebuilding’ my small thumbnails, library database & ‘recover orphaned photos’; after chasing down google searches on recovering photos and reading everything I could find here that sounded similar. I keep thinking they must be on my computer somewhere because I went from 32gb available to 10gb. That usually happens with 1k photos, not 150.
    Mac osX version 10.9.3 Maverick
    iPhoto ’08 version 7.1.5 (378)
    Thanks for any help offered!

    Not technically inclined it took me an hour to post this question and it still says Leopard, Mac osx 10.5.4 under my thanks. I have Maverick now, but couldn't find how to change that, sorry!!

  • How can I recover photos that were deleted from Iphone.  Photos were streamed to icloud

    How can I recover photos that were deleted from iphone.  Photos were streamed to icloud. 

    Are they on your computer now?

  • How can I recover photos that were deleted accidentally?

    I am using iPhoto 6.0.6
    I accidentally deleted a folder of photos in iPhoto and then emptied the trash from within the program. Is there any way to recover these files? I have not emptied the trash from finder, but I have closed iPhoto.
    Is there any possible way to recover these files, either using an option from within OS X or a 3rd party solution?

    Don't you have a backup of your library you can recover those photos from? The Finder trash is not connected to iPhoto's trash bin. If you emptied iPhoto's trash then the photos have been deleted from the hard drive. You can run the of SubrosaSoft FileSalvage in it's demo mode to see if it can find and recover those photos before you purchase it. Others have had success in recovering photos as long as there hasn't been a lot of new files added to the HD that might overwrite those files.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • How to recover photos from a usb key to put on ipad

    how to recover photos from a usb key to put on ipad

    What do you mean 'how to recover' ? If you want to copy the photos from the USB drive to your iPad then you can try using the camera connection kit, but a lot of USB drives require more power than is supplied to the kit and the photos need to be in a particular format : you need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the drive with the photos underneath it, and the photo filenames need to be exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension i.e. in a similar format as if a camera had created/written them

  • Problem with reoccurring same recovered photos

    Hello,
    I'm having the same reoccurring problem every time I activate iPhoto. I get a message window that says "82 photos have been found in the iPhoto Library that were not imported, and would you like to import them?"
    These photos are in the Library and in iPhoto. If I select yes then I get a message that says something to the extent they can't be imported because of a non readable problem. If I select no, then a folder and the photos are developed in the picture files titled recovered photos in Finder/Pictures....this happens every time I start iPhoto. How do I get rid of this reoccurring problem that is starting to bother me. Every time I delete the recovered folder it's recovered again when I start iPhoto
    Thanks for any assistance or input you may have, or please direct me to an area where I might be able to find a fix.

    Hi Larry,
    Thank you for the welcome and your instructions worked perfectly and I am now a happy camper once again without multiple "recovered" photo folders. I have been reading other posts looking for a potential same problem while waiting for a response. Many of the other posts were referring to a iPhoto Folder within the "Picture" folder. Well, all I could find was a iPhoto Library icon and no folder ( I was able to find the the right click "show contents") prior to your corrective post but stopped right there in concern of making things worse. So as soon as I read your reply it made perfect directional sense to me.
    I suppose now would be the time to back that Pictures Folder up again (fresh) although I do
    have have it backed up on Time Machine and have also copied it to a Flash Drive in fear of losing all the family photo's and what the Boss Lady would do to me
    Thank you again LN, you've been a great help!

  • Help re: Recovered Photo Albums

    Hi there,
    I have an album in my iPhoto library called recovered Photos. When I open it up it shows 50 jpgs but doesn't show the picture of what it is. When I click open, it won't open and it shows that I have images in there, but when I click to open it won't show anything except the image name at the top. I just don't want to delete this album in the case that I don't have it in another Album.
    Any help would be appreciate please.
    Tracey

    Thanks for that Nancy,
    yes I've done all that the site is up and all created wih several pages.
    I created t in fronpage first and have been editing it and 'Put'ing files up for the past few days.
    The only thing that doesn't seem to work for me is creating this photo album
    I'm trying to create the folder by poiting the source files at a local files folder which I'm sure is the correct way.
    When you select folders with images in are oyu able to see previews of the files
    Hope this makes sense..
    thanks

  • Recovering photos and videos

    is it possible to recover photos and videos that were deleted and deleted from trash?

    on my iphone new ios 6 was installed and an itunes icon with the plug appeared. i have no back up of my pictures. can i still recover them even if i have not restored my iphone from itunes?

  • Recovered Photos album automatically created, but no error messages.

    Previously when I opened iPhoto, I received a message (or rather 2 {I believe} duplicate messages) about importing recovered photos. I clicked OK and it created a Recovered Photos album, but its contents were empty. I deleted this album by putting it into iPhoto's Trash. When I reopened iPhoto, I received the message again, but this time it created a "Recovered Photos 2" album.
    I quit iPhoto and deleted the Import folder from my iPhoto Library. Now I don't get any messages, but the Recovered Photos (not Recovered Photos 2) album is still there. If I trash it and restart iPhoto, the it is automatically created again.
    How can I stop iPhoto from automatically creating the Recovered Photos album? I'm not receiving any error messages or messages whatsoever.

    Addendum to all about this question - I am trying to import my original CDs - hangs and does nothing at first track. Trashed the .plist, no help. Reinstalled fresh copy of iTunes - helped - FOR ONE DISK. After that, same problem.
