"All Photos" folder lost

I accidently deleted the "All Photos" folder, and when I clicked undo it didn't come back. I searched all the menu's but I can't find out how to replace the folder.
Thanks!

Oops.
Okay, do this:
1) Quit Aperture
2) Control click your Aperture library and select "Show package contents"
3) Move the "Built-in Smart Albums" folder to the trash
4) Restart Aperture
All the default smart albums should be back.
Be more careful next time

  • Duplicates in the all photos folder...

    In the new photos app for all devices, when I move a photo from the all photos album to a designated folder, there is still a copy of that photo in the all photos album.  This annoyed me in the past.....  Can I change this with the new app??  Can I move a photo to a album and there is only that copy, or will there always be a copy in one huge all photos folder?

    No - you can not move a photo at all
    Photos (like iPhoto) uses a library and albums are just one way to view the photos in the library - there are not multiple copies and you do not move them - you are just adding a link to an album so you can view them from there

  • Where is the "All Photos" folder in iOS7?

    In previous versions when I went to my Photo App it shows all my folders I created PLUS one that held ALL my photos...now it's gone. It says I have over 1500 pictures on the phone but the app only shows some folders with the total number of pictures in each folder and they don't come even close to the 1500 number I have...what gives?

    Make sure you have it enabled:
    In Finder > Preferences > Sidebar > check All My Files

  • 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)

  • Can not sync more than one photo folder to my phone. lost all photos???

    Can not sync more than one photo folder at a time from my computer to mu iPhone. How do I get the drop down box to choose my photos, so I can manually pick photo folders???? Lost all my photo folders on phone.

    Create a parent folder on your computer to contain the folders of photos you want transferred to your iPhone. Select the parent folder under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. To add an additional folder of photos to your iPhone, place the folder of photos in the parent folder followed by a sync.

  • I sync a specific photos folder from my computer to my iPhone.  However, that folder was lost due to a crash on my computer.  But all of the Synced Photos are still on my iPhone.  How do I retrieve all those photos from my iPhone?

    If Windows - and it has iTunes installed - you should see an Autoplay explorer when you connect your iPhone - this should let you see the pictures and transfer them back to your computer
    Wrong. That only works for pictures in the Camera Roll, not those in the Photo Album app.

  • Moving LR5 catalog (Irdata & Ircat) to a new hard drive and photos. Lost all meta data - How do I move meta data along with catalog?

    I moved LR5 catalog (Irdata & Ircat) to a new hard drive and photos. Lost all meta data - How do I move meta data along with catalog?
    The meta data for each image is missing.
    I have over 2,000 images. I don't want to go back through each image and add meta data.
    Is there some way to move everything?

    No, do not re-import your images. I assume you can see the thumbnails in the library module, just cannot access the full images, right? If this is the case there should be an exclamation mark in the top right corner of every one of your pictures and you only have to tell LR where the images are now.
    Click the exclamation mark of one of the images and a dialog window should pop-up, telling you that LR cannot find the file, but with an option to locate it. Press "Locate" and navigate to the folder on your new HD where the file is. If in the new external HD you kept the same folder structure that you had on the internal disk, LR will be able to find all your images and re-link them to the database without further intervention.

  • Lost all photos on my iPhoto and get the ERROR WRITING TO DISK when trying to reload from Time Machine. iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem writing to the volume containing your iPHOTO LIBRARY  . Looking for solution.

    Lost all photos on my iPhoto and get the ERROR WRITING TO DISK when trying to reload from Time Machine. iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem writing to the volume containing your iPHOTO LIBRARY  . Looking for solution.

    Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    First, empty the Trash, if possible.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    find ~ $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 \) 2>&- | wc -l | pbcopy
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear.
    The output of the command will be a number. It's automatically copied to the Clipboard. Please paste it into a reply.
    The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.

  • Hi, I just updated my mac from version10.6 to 10.9.3 os mavericks. i went to open iPhoto and it says "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade." does this mean I have lost all photos i had in there?

    Hi, I just updated my mac from version10.6 to 10.9.3 os mavericks. i went to open iPhoto and it says "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade." does this mean I have lost all photos i had in there? It does not give me a choice, it just says quit or upgrade? p.s. i didn't realise ther was  a way to back up my computer beforehand, which i am guessing this is time machine?

    1. No, you haven't.
    2. Back up the iPhoto library(this can be done through Time Machine or by dragging it to a drive, partition, or disk image formatted as Mac OS Extended) and then click Upgrade.
    3. Aside from Time Machine and drag-copying items from your home folder, programs such as the Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Cloner, and SuperDuper can make backups.

  • Iphoto froze then lost all photos-Help!

    Iphoto froze so I forced it to quit several times.  Then i did a safe boot and restated machine.  It would then open but all photos are gone.  How do I restore them?

    If you were able to locate the file called 'iPhoto Library' in your Pictures folder then now is a good time to make a copy of it just in case. I lost my hard drive once and the only thing I cared about were the lost pictures of my kids. Now I keep multiple backups.
    You can view the files in the 'iPhoto Library' file by holding down the control key when you click on the 'iPhoto Library' file. A menu will appear. Select 'Show Package Contents' and you'll be able to view all of the files in your iPhoto library. You should see a folder called 'Masters' which has subfolders based on year, month, day that contain your images. Hopefully you'll be able to recover easily, but in a worst case scenario you should be able to pull the original images.
    You may want to post your question in the iPhoto forum where you're more likely to find iPhoto experts who can provide more in-depth assistance.

  • Lost all photos after a software update

    I really hope someone can help here as I'm pretty desperate!
    My iMac, running OS 10.4.11 recently offered a software upgrade on-line to iPhoto, to iPhoto 8 (7.14)
    I accepted and when I tried to launch it next it said it couldn't show any photos and quoted that it needed to update the thumbnails. I accepted that it should do so. Nothing seemed to happen and no pictures showed after the supposed re-build stopped.
    On quitting and re-launching I found to my horror that it had lost all photos, events, folders etc. meaning I'd lost over 400 pictures of our 3 year olds.
    I searched for advice and have tried some remedies to library failures posted here but to no avail. All I could do was copy in pictures from my hard disc back-up folder and my iDisk but these stop at July 2008. I'm gutted, my wife will kill me so what on earth can I do?
    Plus, to Apple - thanks! How the **** can this happen?

    There's no reason to panic. Simply you have a damaged database file.
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • PC crashed, lost all photos on PC, need to copy from iPad 2, HOW?

    Yep, my hard drive crashed and had to re-install Windows 7 from scratch.  I lost all my photos that were on my PC.  Luckily, I had previously synced them to my iPad 2 so I guess I have a backup.  If I try to sync now with the new PC (new library), it wants to delete all photos on my iPad (Nooo!).  I tried going into the DCIM folder of my iPad using Windows Explorer but all I see are the camera roll pictures, not the previously synced albums.
    So, how can I copy the albums back to my PC?  Help appreciated.

    Photos synced from a computer cannot be copied off in the same way as camera roll photos. There are third-party apps such as Simple Transfer (which also has a free 'lite' version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer) which can be used to transfer the photos off via your wifi network. But when the photos were synced to the iPad they were 'optimised' as part of the transfer, so any that you copy back to your computer will probably not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • Is there a way to rename all photos in a folder?

    Is there a fast way to rename all the photos in one folder e.g. I have diffreent folders say "wedding" and "birthday" with alot of photos in each. Is there a way to rename all photos in the folder to the same name like all called wedding?
    Also when i open photos they automatically open with preview, do I need to impost them into iPhoto or should they just automatically save there?

    Are these photos in iPhoto? If so, then use the Photos -> Batch Change command.
    IF not then you can use a batch file renamer such as Name Mangler
    iPhoto is a database and can only show pics that have been imported to the DB.
