Can I recover photos lost during an import error

I was importing my photos from a memory stick and an unexpected error occured quiting iphoto. I had the import set to delete from memory stick after transfer. Now my first 20 pictures are missing I can't find them in the iphoto folder/ library on the computer or on the memory stick. Is there some way I can recover these photos of my childs first day of school?

MediaRECOVER will do the job for you. You can download and run it in demo mode (it will allow 1 image to be recovered in demo mode) to see all of the photos that it can find to recover before you commit to purchase. I recovered 196 files from a card that I had intentionally deleted and then discovered that I shouldn't have.
Hope this has been of some help. Good luck.
OT
P.S. Read and heed Peter's recommendations regarding future deletions.

How can you restore photos lost during software update on iTunes?

How do you restore or even find photos lost during software update of iphone 4 on iTunes?

Why did you not back it up before performing the update? Did you perform the update on a computer other than the one you normally sync with?
As already stated, if you didn't back it up, the data is now gone.

Can I recover photos lost from an iPhoto library that was on an external HD?

I had about 2,000 photos on my iPhoto library that was being stored on an external HD that is plugged into my AirPort Extreme base station 2TB. Today, I imported another 550 photos from my iPhone to that library and now all that seems to be there is the latest iPhone import. I can't find the old photos anywhere - they seem to have vanished.
I tried running iPhoto Library Manager's rebuild function but it only comes up with the 550 photos I imported today.

You can try a file recovery application like File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

Can i recover photo files lost when i wiped out my hard-drive and reinstalled mac os x?

Can i recover photo files lost when i wiped out my hard-drive and reinstalled mac os x? I know that when a computer is wiped cleaned that the info is still on the hard drive, how do I access it? Can I pay someone to access it? Long story short, everything was saved to my external hard drive except my photos, by mistake of course.

You have to stop using the drive immediately. Completely stop. Do not boot the computer from the drive.
File recovery software: Try using an application such as Data Rescue 3 - http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php or FileSalvage - http://subrosasoft.com, or one of the ones listed in the (old) link below. Some have free trial versions that let you see if the software will help before you decide to buy. You will also need a second hard drive equal to or larger in size than your first drive as a destination drive for recovered files.

It is critical that you do not use the computer or even turn it on until you have rescued your files. Files only have the directory reference to them removed when you empty the trash or otherwise delete them from a computer (unless you use secure erase, in which case they are gone forever or can only be potentially be recovered by very expensive means) and are still present on the computer. However, their space is marked as available to any other file creation done on the computer (even done by you booting the computer) and there is risk that your files will be overwritten by the computer.
Even if the above works, do not expect the results to be pretty or even 100% successful. Files will often lose their names and you will have to re-name them one by one.

I resently upgraded my OS to Snow Leopard, but the information in my address book did not transfer. How can I recover the lost information?

I upgraded to Snow Loepard OS. But not all the information in the address book was transfered. How can I recover the lost information from my old address book?

No I did not make a copy of my address book.
Some information was moved over, many did not.
I do not see a pattern.
I think all the info is still on the hard drive, I just don't know how to recover it.

How can I recover my lost iPhone4 passcode?

How can I recover my lost iPhone4 passcode?

If you mean you lost the passcode for your iPhone, you cannot recover it. You can reset it by attaching the iPhone to your computer with iTunes and restore the iPhone from the most recent backup. That removes the passcode.
If iTunes does not recognize the iPhone or let you restore, attach in recovery mode by starting iTunes, connect the USB end of the cable then while holding the home button on the iPhone connect the dock connector end of the cable. iTunes should then ask if you want to restore.

Can I recover photos on iPhone 4S not backed up on iCloud or computer when connect to iTunes error shows up on screen. Was trying to update now it must go to restore.HELP!

Can I recover photos on iPhone 4S not backed up on iCloud or computer when connect to iTunes error shows up on screen? My son was trying to update now it must go to restore. HELP!

If there is no backup of the device to iCloud or iTunes and the device has gone into recovery mode when trying to update, then the data is gone. If the device was connected to iTunes to do the update originally, it is possible the default backup was done, unless your son disabled it. To check to see if there is a backup, go in iTunes, click on Edit, Preferences, Devices and see if there is a backup listed for the date/time before the update was started. If he was doing the update OTA on the phone, then there is no backup. No backup, no photos.

I had 1235 songs on my iPad 3 I subscribed to iTunes Match and it deleted all of my songs except for 79 that I had purchased from iTunes Store. How can I recover my lost songs???

Hi,
If the tracks were not in your iTunes library on your computer when you subscribed to match, I am afraid that they are lost. Do you have a separate back up of this music?

Help, How can I recover my lost photos from my iPhone 4 without backup?

I have a lot of photos stored in my iPhone 4, but yesterday, I pressed the wrong button and my entire photos was deleted, very sadly. There are many import photos that stored for 1 year. I hope to recover them backup, I tried many data recovery tool, but it won’t recognize my iPhone 4, why and how can I recover my sms? If there any other tool can help? Thanks.

Even if you haven’t backed up your iPhone with iTunes manually, iTunes might have backed up it automatically each time you sync your iPhone with iTunes. If you have enabled iCloud, every time, your iPhone is connected to Wifi and a power source, and the screen is locked, iCloud will automatically backup your photos. So try to restore the deleted photos from iTunes or iCloud backup first if the backups were created before the deletion.

If you don’t want to restore your iPhone with an out-of-date backup, erase all the content and settings on your iPad, and go back to an older iOS version, try to extract your iPhone photos from your iTunes or iCloud backup with the iPhone backup extractor.
Other than restoring from iTunes or iCloud backup, there are still at least 3 other solutions for you to recover deleted photos from iPhone:
Extracting from previous iTunes backup;
Retrieving directly from iPhone;
Copying from other backups.
As for recovering SMS, see this iPhone SMS recovery tutorial.

Can I recover photos no longer in my photo stream

I was recently travelling in the USA and my iPad was showing a lack of storage space despite there being plenty, I went to the Apple store in downtown SAN FRANCISCO and it was decided we could reset it which would wipe everything but the photos I had already taken in Yosemite were already on my iPhone thanks to Photo Stream, what I failed to realise was that because Photostream is constantly updating and has a limit of 1000 photos, my photos which I had failed to save from the stream would disappear furhter into my trip, I AM LEFT WITH ONLY THOSE PHOTOS I put into a WEB Archive. Does any body know if I can recover my lost photos or are they lost in the CLOUD forever

what I failed to realise was that because Photostream is constantly updating and has a limit of 1000 photos, my photos which I had failed to save from the stream would disappear furhter into my trip,
So you did not import the photos from the Photo Stream to your iPhone? If the Photo Stream has not been automatically downloaded to a device, there is no way to retrieve the streamed photos that are no longer in iCloud. The Photo Stream is only a temporary buffer for downloading, not a permanent cloud storage.
You could try data recovery tools to recover the photos from your iPhone, but that will be expensive with uncertain success. It will largely depend on how much mememory your iPhone has. I never tried any of the iPhone data recovery tools.

Can you recover photos on iPhone 4?

I took photos on my new iPhone 4 before syncing it with my computer and after I plugged it into the computer for the first time it deleted all my photos! Is there a way to recover those?

This didn't occur by just connecting your new iPhone to your computer. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not included with the iTunes sync process regardless.
Sounds like you were syncing another iPhone with iTunes on your computer. When connecting a new iPhone to iTunes used to sync with another iPhone, you are provided two options. Transfer the backup for the other iPhone to the new iPhone, or set up the iPhone as a new iPhone. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are included with the iPhone's backup. Since you chose the former transferring the backup for the previous iPhone, the Camera Roll on your new iPhone was replaced with the Camera Roll for the previous iPhone. Had you chose the latter or imported these photos with your computer as designed and intended and as with any other digital camera, the photos would not be lost.
Those photos are gone with no way to recover unless you take your iPhone to a data recovery service which won't be cheap and with no guarantee the photos can be recovered.

How can I recover photos from old iphone icloud backup to new one?

Hello, I had an iPhone 4 which I lost and inside there were some great photos that I want now to recover. In the meanwhile I bought an iPhone5S and I just realized that inside the iCloud backup menu is saying that there is a backup of 3GB of my old iPhone. How can I see if in that backup the photos are there? I have connected my iPhoto App to iCloud but it only finds photos from my new iPhone and not the old one...
Thanks for your time.

Hi, Tiago, maybe you can get help from data recovery software. Now things get easy now.
As far as I know, there are three ways to recover deleted contacts and photos from iPhone 5 with iPhone Data Recovery.
Way 1: Recover deleted photos from iPhone directly
Way 2: Using iTunes Backup to recover deleted photos
Way 3: Using iCloud Backup to recover deleted photos
You can refer the way 3 of how to recover deleted photos from iPhone to recover photos from old iPhone iCloud backup.
Good luck to you.
