When iPhoto '11 crashes after importing photos and videos, they are gone. How can I retrieve them?

iPhoto '11 randomly crashes after importing/editing/organizing photos and videos. When it does, photos and videos that I've been working on are gone. Pictures taken with iOS devices can be retrieved if they are still in Photo Stream, but videos are gone. Is there anyway I can retrieve photos and pictures that are not saved before iPhoto crashes? Also, is there anyway to prevent it from crashing? It seems iPhoto '11 is doing this since the day 1 I started using it. Thank you.

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library
this should help with the crashes - it may or may not help with the missing videos

  • TS4147 I deleted what I thought were duplicate contacts and now they're gone, how can I get them back?

    My address book on the mac showed duplicate contacts so I started to delete them. I deleted A-C. However, on icloud.com, they were not duplictaed and now all of my A-C contacts are gone. How can I get them back?

    I think i did the same thing. I just got a new MacBook Air and when it synced with iCloud I had doubles of all my contacts. Now I'm missing most of my contacts as well.... Someone please help with a solution to this mistake....

    If they were on your phone when you last backed it up, restoring the backup should recover them.

    Only way to get it back is to restore your phone from a backup, if those pics were included in that backup.
    But most likely those pics are gone.
    What you should've done was import http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 the pics to your computer and after you restored from your old backup, you could sync those new pics to your phone via itunes.

    Try a reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears.
    If the issue persists, delete the email account then add it back.

    You can get iTunes purchases back by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    For other items you need to get them from whee yuo got them the first time.
    The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced mediai like apps and music. If those ore not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you performed the update they are lost.

  • I updated to the new 5.0 and lost all of my photos and some of my apps. how can i get them back

    lost my pictures and some apps with update. how can iget them back?

    Sync with iTunes to recover these things.
    Connect the iPad to your compter and launch iTunes. Select the iPad on the left side of iTunes and then click on the Apps tab. Go down through the list and select all of the apps that you want to put on the iPad. Do the same thing with the photos. Make sure that the headings - Sync Music and Sync Photos have been selected and then sync again.
    If you have changed the configuration - you will have to click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.

  • After installing iOs5 onto my iPhone, all my photos and videos were deleted? How do I get them back?

    I got the iOs5 update for my iPhone and I just checked my videos and photos in the camera roll and there is none there. It's all gone. Why? iTunes didn't ask me if I wanted to save my photos or what not, it just asked me if it wanted to back up my apps and stuff, which I said yes. Is there a way I can get my pictures and videos back?

    Some conspiracy is going on . I upgraded my iphone and before upgrade, obviously iTunes backed up my iphone. After upgrade, lost all my contacts and I feel the icloud *****. Trying to contact apple asks me to pay for support. Isn't this annoying, on one side they keep reminding you to upgrade to new ios and then when you upgrade, you loose everything. Not happy right now

  • I am clearing through my phone for more memory. I want to delete some personal photos and videos of family forever, how can i do this ?. I do not want the photos or videos to be found anywhere.

    I am using a Iphone 5c device on software update IOS 7.1.2. I want to delete some personal videos and photos of my family and friends and myself. I am worried that if i delete them they may still be on my itunes account or icloud account. I do not want them on any of my accounts or files anywhere, I would like them gone off of everything. How can i do this?
    Thanks in advance.

    The answer is not simple. First, are these images in the Camera Roll or the Photos app? Next, do you have Photo Stream enabled? Also, do you back up your phone to your computer or to iCloud, or to both?
    If you have Photo Stream enabled then the images have already been distributed to anyone who is subscribed. Nothing that I can think of that you can do about that. The rest of this post assumes that Photo Stream was never turned on.
    If the images are in your Camera Roll you can delete them from the Camera app. The won't go anywhere, however, they will still be in your backups.
    If you back up to your computer using iTunes you can go to iTunes Preferences, Devices tab, and delete your backups. After deleting all of them, and also after you have deleted the images from the Camera Roll, do a new backup.
    After deleting the backups do a Secure Delete of deleted files on your computer. On a Mac you can do this with Disk Utility; have it erase deleted files. On Windows you need to get a 3rd party "shredder" app.
    If you back up to iCloud on the phone go to Settings/iCloud - Storage & backup - Manage Storage. Tap on each backup and delete it.
    If you have photos in the Photos app that are NOT in the Camera Roll album you need to connect your phone to iTunes, click on the Photos tab, uncheck all of them that you don't want (or uncheck Sync Photos if you want all of them gone), then sync.
    Then repeat all of the steps above.

  • When opening new tabs they are blank;how can i make them open to my homepage?

    When you open a new tab it is blank. Is there any way to make a new tab open to my homepage?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == always

    Ctrl+Home button will open a new tab with your home page. If you have multiple home pages, I believe it will open only the first one shown in Tools > Options > General > Home Page.
