All my pictures became unavailable with Pictures!

I recently updated to Yosemite 10.10.3 and as a part of that, I was offered a new app for my pictures, called Pictures. I accepted and my iPhoto app disappeared. Now I am trying to go on with my iBooks Author book, but the photos no longer show up in the media "folder". And it is not possible to drag the photos into the page either. This is a catastrophe. It will cost me so much extra work to drag pictures first to the desktop, before I can drag them into my book. What do I do???

iPhoto is still there - they just removed the icon from your Dock but you'll still find it in your Applications folder. You can go back using that without any problems.
I suspect there may be some damage to your iPhoto Library (it was probably there before, but the switch to Photos may have aggravated it). You'll need to rebuild your iPhoto Library.
Apple needs to update iBooks Author to work with the new Photos app. There have been updates to iTunes and all the iWork apps, but not to iBooks Author yet.  Right now, when iBooks Author should only see your old iPhoto library, even if you're using the new Photos app  - it's like the Photos app doesn't exist. So  I really think the problem is with your iPhoto Library, not the Photos app.

  • When I share a pages document as a PDF (via e-mail) all the pictures change from the original document, most are missing with just a few of them repeated in the spots where others had been.  How do I do this without the document changing?

    I need to be able to send it to a PC in order to print it.

    Hard to say what is happening without examining the file.
    If you like click on my blue name and email me both the .pages file and the the .pdf you have made from it.

    ps It would help to say what version of Pages you are using and on what you are running it. iOS or Mac and what version.

    Diane,
    Your photos are in the iPhoto Library. Almost certainly that is intact, so don't worry.
    Go to your Home folder and open the folder called Pictures. What you want is in there, iPhoto Library. Don't do anything there, this is just to reassure yourself.
    So it is a matter of getting the iPhoto app to work. Apps are in the Applications folder. Find it and trash it.
    Next download iPhoto:

  • How can I import pictures from my iphone to PC which I imported to the iphone from another PC? The folder doesn't show on my computer. I see all other pictures I took with the phone but not the imported folder.

    Photos that were synced from a computer won't show for copying to a computer. If you want to copy them back then you will need a third-party app on your phone such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to a device, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer (e.g. their dimensions might be different and their colours may look a bit different).

    Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
    Type "move itunes library from pc to mac" or similar into the google search bar.

  • I was trying to get the iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 5 but then it stopped and my phone is now on recovery mode I have pictures I need and they did not all fit on iCloud  how can I use the phone again with ALL my pictures and videos without restoring it?

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

  • I tried to sinc my photos and i ended up deleting off my phone all the pictures.  i only ended up with one folder, and i cant figure out how to put rest of folders from my computer back on my phone.....help

    i tried to sinc my photos and i ended up deleting off my phone all the pictures.  i only ended up with one folder, and i cant figure out how to put rest of folders from my computer back on my phone.....help
    and on a second problem.  I need to know for sure that my contacts are backed up on my computer

    Create a parent folder on your computer to store the named folders of photos that you want transferred to your iPhone. Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, select the parent folder. All named folders of photos within will be transferred to your iPhone as separate folders or albums.
    Regarding your 2nd question, this should be easy. Your contacts should be available on your computer with or without an iPhone or any cell phone, which can be lost or stolen.
    Although contacts are included with your iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process, not a good idea to depend on this either since the iPhone backup includes a significant amount of other data. Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer. With Windoze, this can be with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express with XP and by Windows Mail with Vista and Windows 7 called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.

  • I lost a folder, with all the pictures, while trying to move some photos to a diferent folder (both folders disappeared)

    I was trying to move some pictures from a folder to another, but all the pictures disappeared! Even the folder that the pictures were! I searched all my computer but I can't find them! Does anyone know what can I do??
    Before I lost all pictures a message appeared asking if I wanted to replace the photos that have the same name, and I said "yes" and "do this to all"; after that a message appeared saying that there was an error and the pictures were note moved, but all my files disapeared!!
    I search even the trash (it is empty) and don't know whatelse to do!
    I would appreciate any help.
    Thanks

    First of all, we'd need to know what version of Bridge, Photoshop and the OS you are using.
    One of the earliest versions of Bridge was indeed known occasionally to disappear files and/or folders, but that was a long time ago, in CS2 I believe.  Later versions do not do that.
    Do a search for the names of the files and or folder(s), not with the pretty useless Spotlight or the Finder Search (which uses the same, limited Spotlight search engine).  Instead, try the free EasyFind.  http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/8707
    Second, I'll assume you mean folder when you type "a file with all my photos in it". Unless you put the folder in the trash and then deliberately emptied the trash, it's more likely you just accidentally stuck the folder inside another one, or accidentally renamed it.  EasyFind will find it or its contents.
    If EasyFind fails to find a trace of any of the files or of the folder, then the files are indeed gone. but that 's highly unlikely unless you deliberately empied the trash.
    Good luck.

  • Emergency! Please Help. I have an iPhone 4 with all my pictures from the vacation on it and I plugged into my computer and it sync'ed to my ipod.  all of my pictures are gone.  How do I get my pictures back?

    If all you did was sync your phone, and if you haven't synced again since this happened, you can restore your phone from the backup that was created at the beginning of the sync process (camera roll photos are included in the backup).  If you have synced again since this happened this backup has already been overwritten and your photos are lost.  Also, if you restored your phone from the backup of your iPod, rather than just synced, then your  photos are lost too.
    If you have an intact backup that contains these photos, do the following:
    Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences.  On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
    Connect your phone to your computer, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose your most recent backup to restore from.
    When complete, you can go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.

  • HT201269 yesterday i plugged my new Iphone in to my laptop and connected it up with Itunes. Itunes then deleted all my pictures off my new phone and reset my new phone with all the settings of my old phone! how do i get  my pictures back?????

    Sorry you can't.  Looks like your phone restore to an older backup.
    future reference import your pics to your PC, that way you can always sync it back using itunes

  • Why do all my pictures transfer to my macbook with only 72 res. when the pixel availability on i phone is high?

    Why do all my pictures from my i phone transfer to my macbook with only 72 resolution when the pixel availability is high?

    The iPhone 4 has a 5 megapixel rear facing camera; the iPhone 3 has a 3 megapixel camera.  Your example shows a pixel density of 2.5 megapixels (1322 X 1866 = 2,466,852).  If this was from the iPhone 3 it's not that far out of line, especially if it was "optimized" during transfer.  You can still use Photoshop to increase the dpi above 72.  Just resize the picture to 260 dpi without resampling.  The physical size of the photo will shrink but it will produce photo quality prints.  If they aren't clear, that's probably a focus/lighting issue.

  • I loaded my ipad photos from camera and all the pictures sorted by date.  Next, I did a sync with my computer and the photos were all reorganized into IMPRT folders an out of date sequence.  Any idea how to put the photos back into date files?

    What version of iPhoto?
    Select one and rotate it. Then rotate it back. Does that make it appear? 
    A much better work flow is the keep the photos after importing.  Check the success the import, wait for at least one successful backup cycle then use you camera's format command to reformat the card

  • After 3 years of use, my I-photo dissappeared from my mac along with all my pictures.  Stupid me has no back up either.  any ideas how I can get my pictures back?es bautupi

    Happy Holidays.  After 3 years of use, my I-Photo disappeared from my Mac along with all my pictures.  And stupid me has no back-up.  Any ideas on how I can find my pictures?  Thanks.

    Happy Holidays to you too.
    What exactly is missing?
    The iPhoto icon in the Dock, that you used to launch iPhoto?
    The iPhoto application from the "Applications" folder?
    Your iPhoto library from your "Pictures" folder?
    To check what is still left, click on the looking glass icon in the upper right corner of your screen and type "iPhoto" into the Spotlight search field. This should find anything with iPhoto in its name. Does it show an iPhoto application? Then click it to launch it.
    But before you do anything else, I'd strongly suggest to get yourself a backup disk and make a Time Machine backup of your machine right now. You have already noticed, how risky it is, not to have a working  backup. The best computer will crash one day.
