All Photos from Previous Folder Got Deleted!

I had this folder created yesterday with more than 100 photos in it, all photos were imported from my camera. Then later today, I imported another bunch of photos, this time from my flash disk. After they got imported, I tried to Zoom in one of the pics using the space bar forgot that all pics were selected in that folder after imported. iphoto was frozen for a while (colorful wheel was on). then i forced quit iphoto because of that. when i restarted iphoto, the previous folder that i imported yesterday from my camera was gone!! it's nowhere to be found, not in the trash can, not in iphoto, not in the flash disk (i was hoping it got magically switched), and not in my camera too because i already deleted them. i even restarted my computer to see if it was a glitch but it's not! ='{ the entire folder worth of 4 days photos of my vacation is gone!
i tried to seek for the backup but it brought me to time machine that apparently i hadn't had it set up! :{
help! can i retrieve my -accidentally- deleted photos again?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 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, faces and places 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.

  • Have synced all photos from pc. how to delete unwanted photos on  iphone?

    i did not realise i was syncing all photos in my pc to my iphone. there is a lot of junk photos. but i cannot see how to delete them off my iphone. help please

    This is the reason.
    Photos in your iPhone's camera roll are not included with the iTunes sync process except for being included with your iPhone's backup, which is created and updated by iTunes as the first step during the sync process.
    Photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process, which is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences are not transferred to your iPhone's camera roll.
    Photos in your iPhone's camera roll are photos that were captured by your iPhone, or photos saved from a received email or from a website. Photos in your iPhone's camera roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
    With a Mac, this can be done with iPhoto if you use iPhoto for importing photos from a digital camera and for photo storage and management on your Mac, or with the Image Capture application located in your Applications folder. Both include an option to delete the photos from your iPhone's camera roll after the import process is complete. If you don't want to save these photos, you can delete the photos from iPhoto or from your designated location where the imported photos are saved if you use the Image Capture application for the import.

  • All photos from last month automatically deleted

    I put some new music on my Nokia lumia 920 and while it was uploading it deleted all my most recent pics on my camera roll , but not all of them plus deleted random pics from my saved pics folder...

    Assuming you are using the desktop app or the Windows 8 app you probably have it set to sync with locations on the PC and have removed these photos from those locations. This would indeed remove the phots from your phone as intended.

  • Delete overlapping request in PC - Request from previous month got deleted

    Hi Everyone,
    We are using a 'Delete overlapping request' step in a process chain. Under the Deletion Selections, we have checked the following options:
    1) Only Delete Requests from Same DTP
       |_ Selections are - Overlapping
    2) Request Date - Is in the Current Month
    3) Exceptions:
       |_ New Request will be loaded on - 1st Day of a Month
    The datasource in this case is used for a Full update into a Cube everyday. We've used the above selections so that the request loaded on the last day of a month is not deleted by the subsequent load. We need this to retain a snapshot of the data for each month.
    This month, when the process chain executed on 1st Feb, the request loaded on 31st Jan was not deleted. However, on 4th Feb, the Process chain deleted the request loaded on 3rd Feb and also the one from 31st Jan. There seems to be no reason at all for the 31st Jan request to get deleted. We've made sure of that by choosing the option 'Request Date - Is in the Current Month' in the Deletion Selections.
    Is there any explanation why the request was deleted?
    Thanks,
    Ram

    Hi,
        If you dont have any selections , it will delete the previous request. Based on the selections only overlap will work.  For your scenario , it wont delete previous month request after changing it to current Fiscal period. Once check the selection options , is it displaying month wise or empty selections.
    Regards

  • LR3.6   Can't import all photos from a folder. Only 'sees' ~1800 of 2267. Help?

    I exported 2267 images from Aperture to an external drive in original format with original filenames. I tried to import them into LR3.6 and it will only recognize about 1800 of them.  Files consist of RAW files and Jpg and maybe  a few Tiffs. RAW files are from a Canon 10D, Nikon D60, and a Nikon D3s . . . from what I can tell, it doesn't categorically exclude any of these.  I'm using a quad-core 27" iMac.  When I imported the files into another Aperture Library on another computer, it recognized all the files. I use LR for most of my stuff and Aperture for the "family album".
    I can't figure out why LR doesn't see/import all the files.
    Help?
    Thanks.
    -Alex.

    I never completed an initial import. When I was at the import dialog, I noticed the discrepancy in file count and chose to cancel.  Then I tried a few things to see if I could see what the problem was, but each time the file count was wrong so I just canceled out of the import dialog again. Once I made the preference change recommended by Lee Jay, the file count matched and I completed the import.

    Plug it back in and restore it from the backup that is made everytime you sync your phone. iPhone forums are here:

  • I am making a calendar in iPhoto, picking photos from a folder, let's call it "2011 Pics," in iPhoto. After arranging all the photos and captions I decided I wanted to insert a new photo -- one that was not in "2011 Pics." So I inserted it into the folder

    Add new photo to existing calendar folder in iPhoto
    I am making a calendar in iPhoto, picking photos from a folder, let's call it "2011 Pics," in iPhoto. After arranging all the photos and captions I decided I wanted to insert a new photo -- one that was not in "2011 Pics." So I inserted it into the folder, but the picture does not show up on the scrolling menu of pictures at the left of the calendar-making page. This happened last year and in frustration I started all over again. But surely there is a way to add a new picture to a calendar that is already laid out.

    Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
    In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

  • When using Iphoto to import photo from existing folder, what happens if I delete the photo in Iphoto ? Will the original file in the folder be deleted too?

    When using Iphoto to import photo from existing folder to iphoto, what happens if:
    1. I delete that photo in iphoto? will the original file in the folder be deleted too ?
    2.  when importing, does the hard disk store 2 versions of the photo, hence occupying additional space in the harddisk?

    1 - no  --  iPhoto only manages fiel within the iPhoto library - it does not ever do anything with files outside the library
    2 - No idea what you are asking - by default (and strongly recommended) iPhoto copies the original to the iPhoto library and you delete the source file outside the iPhoto library - iPhoto alwasy has at least two versions of every photo and some times three - it always have the original, a thumbnail and once a photo is modified a preview - this is not optional - if it is not what you want then iPhoto is not the correct progrtam to be using for phopto management

  • Is there a way to delete all photos from phone at once, or does it have to be done individually?

    How can I delele all photos from my iphone?  Can I delete all at once, or do I have to go through and delete each one-at-a time?  I'm trying to free space for more photos, and they are already in the cloud and on my computer.  Thanks

    Are these photos in your camera roll? If so, you can't delete them using iTunes, & if you've already imported them to your computer, but left them on your phone...you're not clear on that...I suspect whatever program you used to import them doesn't see them anymore...is that correct? If so, you'll have to either mark to delete one at a time, or use third-party software to delete them.

  • I'm getting a message that my iCloud storage is almost full (5.0 GB, 186 mb remaining).  I have transferred all photos from iPad and iPhone to Mac.  I've deleted all but 200 photos on each of these devices.  Data storage is still same.

    I have transferred all photos from iPad and iPhone to Mac.  I have deleted almost all photos from both (about 200 remaining on each).  I do not store tunes or videos.  After making these changes, I still have the same message in iCloud.

    Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > Select your device (listed as 'This iPhone' or 'This iPad') then look at the next backup size.  Compare the 'Next Backup Size' to the 'Backup Size' on taht same screen.  If the next backup size is smaller, then you have successfully removed some content from your device.
    Now the question still lingers as to why your iCloud is still showing so full right?  Well, iCloud keeps the last 3 backups from each device.  It doesn't duplicate them, but it uses an incremental backup system.  So basically your device's backup will take up as much space on iCloud as the largest backup of the last 3 backups.  With that being said, your iPhone and ipad will eventually shrink the size of your backup (if that next backup size is smaller) in about 3 days (3 backups assuming your iOS devices backup once as day when you are sleeping).
    Can I expedite this?  Well of course you can.  If you want, you can Delete the backup from both of the devices via that same screen then go back to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, turn iCloud Backups back on, then backup now.  Keep in mind that if you do this, it will clear out your last 3 backups (and cannot be undone), but it may also take a long while for your iPhone and iPad to complete that inital backup after deleting the old backups.
    I hope this helps. (My Recommendation: Basically check what's in paragraph one, then it will works itself out in a few days.)

  • I deleted i photo from search folder, reloaded the software and now I can not drag and drop to the desktop. Help

    I deleted i photo from search folder, reloaded the software and now I can not drag and drop to the desktop. Help

    Look in the Applications folder to see if iPhoto is still there. If it is drag it back to the Finder Sidebar. If it is no longer in the Applications folder post back, you can also look in the Trash it might still be there.

  • I have deleted all photos from my iphone and the usage is still showing 6.6GB used. How do I fix this?

    I have deleted all photos from my iphone and the usage is still showing 6.6GB used. I have connected via my computer and no pictures are shown. I have also gone into all my photo apps and no photos are saved. How do I resolved this?

    If you deleted photos from the Camra Roll of the photos app they are not deleted immediately. Instead they are moved to the Recently Deleted album where they will remain for 30 days. This feature was added because so many people deleted photos then wanted then back.
    To completely delete those photos quickly go to the Recently Deleted album and delete them from there.

  • HT4927 all my pictures in iPhoto got deleted and i don't know how to get them back so could anyone help me with that ??

    all my pictures in iPhoto got deleted and i don't know how to get them back so could anyone help me with that ??

    We do need more information to help. Are the images gone from your iPhoto library, or is the iPhoto Library missing? How and when did this happen?
    If images are missing from the library: Did you check for hidden photos? Did you check the iPhoto Trash?
    If the pictures are still in the iPhoto Trash, open the Trash, select the images and and press the liitle arrow in the lower right corner - select "Put back".
    If the pictures are still in an "iPhoto" folder in the system Trash (with sub folders named by date), import these folders to your iPhoto library.
    Have you checked, if you have opened the correct iPhoto Library? Launch iPhoto with the options key held down, to select another Library.
    If the entire Library is missing, have you searched for ".photolibrary" with spotlight?
    Do have a backup?
    If none of these easy measures helps, report back with more details - your iPhoto version, and anything else that might be helpful to find out, what the problem is. Don't do anything that changes the contents of your hard drive for now.
