Why are my pictures like this????

I used to have a Dell laptop before getting a MacBook Pro. When I took it into my college's computuer store to be fixed one time, I received it back with all my photos on the harddrive ruined. The pictures themselves were not distorted but portions of the photo had different hues (ex., one half would be normal and then another half had a yellow hue). The lines marking the two parts could go in any direction and any hue color has happened. The store told me unfortunately there was nothing I could do. Even the thumbnails of the photos were showing this problem.
However, when I transferred all my photos over to my MacBook Pro, I realized that although the color distortions were still there, the thumbnails were perfectly fine and not indication there was a problem. Is there any way to restore my photos from the thumbnail image, and why are they like this in the first place?!?!?!?
Thank you!

Its stuff like Adobe Reader (ex...Documents and Data = 8.5MB, but on Usage tab it reflects 17.1 MB and I have nothing saved there).   Other stupid things like a Flashlight I downloaded months ago. It too reflects Documents and Data = 1.7MB but the usage tab reflects 7.0MB.  Again I get and understand the games and apps where I have a profile saved with info, but the two examples above is more concerning and I have quite a few more apps just like it.

  • Why are my pictures grainy (not clear)?

    why are my pictures grainy?

    The resolution of the cameras on the iPad are very low, something like 1 meg, and they are mainly for things like Facetime. If you have very good light then you may get acceptable photos from it, but you are probably better off using a digital compact or even your phone for photos

    why are certain albums like ones from Tool or Ozzy era black sabbath not available in the U.S. store

    Also, in some cases the artist will not allow download sales, or insists on a download store selling complete albums only rather than offering individual tracks, something Apple resists. In any case, it's not by Apple's choice; it's by decision of the content owners.

  • Why are my pictures fuzzy?

    Why are my pictures fuzzy? I recently reformatted my hard drive on my old Dell Latitude. After I downloaded the latest version of Firefox my pictures are so fuzzy it is hard to tell what it is. Type is fine but pics are fuzzy.

  • Why are TV shows (like Supernatural) so much more expensive to download (SD or HD) than sites like Amazon?

    Why are TV shows (like Supernatural) so much more expensive to download (SD or HD) than sites like Amazon?

    They aren't really that much cheaper on Amazon. For Supernatural season 7, each single episode in HD is $2.99, same as iTunes. If you buy the whole season on Amazon, it's $2.84 per episode. Maybe $2 cheaper to buy on Amazon.
    Remember though, on Amazon, you can't sync the videos onto an iPad/iPod/iPhone or Apple TV. In iTunes you can.
    I prefer to buy on iTunes simply for the convenience, iTunes makes all the differance.

  • Why are my Pictures distorted and not fully filled with color?

    HP ENVY 110 e-All-in-One Printer - D411a.  Why do Printed Pictures come out distorted and and Color not filled in fully?

    FrauSherrie
    SG asked rsayen06 several important questions to get at the core of that user's Premiere Elements issues. So far I do not see any answers to the questions. An the answers will be in those details. Although you have offered your project settings and saying that you have the same problem, they are but a small part of the troubleshooting equation.
    1. What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    2. You say you are putting pictures and music on the Timeline? How many pictures and what are their pixel dimensions? What type of music, what compression and file extension? What is the total duration of the Timeline content?
    3. When you playback the Timeline content in the Edit Mode Monitor are you looking at the rendered or unrender Timeline?
    4. When you say that you see distortion in the pictures...how are they distorted...
    a. from the point of view of pixel aspect ratio, flicker, lines, other?
    b. What do your computer resources look like in the way of installed and available RAM and free hard drive space? Are you getting any error messages associated with any of the project difficulties that you are encountering?
    c. When you get to the burn dialog, what does the Quality Area show for Space Required and Bitrate?
    We will be watching for your follow up.
    Thanks.

  • Why are my pictures cloudy on my new great iphone 4S?

    Why are my photos so lousy o thenew phone.  when i use the flash at nigh they are horrible.  What is the fix?

    Be patient as there are a lot of others complaining about this.  For now try to use Pocket Camera App as it helps.  It may be an issue with IOS 5.0 and the camera.   Pictures aren't good on my 4S either.

  • Why are my pictures in the "All Photos" Album out of order?

    Within Albums there is an "All Photos" folder but some of the photos are out of order. How is this "All Photos" album different to the "Photos" view (which is in the correct order) and why are they not the same?

    Thanks, that's a helpfuland explanation of the difference and makes sense as all  my photos are actually  in an album (which was an event in the previous version).
    However it doesn't explain why the order in "all photos" is different.  It is not in the order that the albums are arranged, and odd photos seem randomly scattered about separated from other photos from the same album. 
    On a separate note It's also a shame as there is no way of arranging the albums chronologically (which you could do with events)

    Dirty lens, poor light, shaking the iPad when taking the picture, could be lots of reasons.
