More than likely you can get the phone back by doing a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot.

HT201317 I can't find my original photo stream pictures, only the more recent ones.

I can't find my original phot stream pictures, only the more recent ones. How do I recover them?

That's because photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, even though your last 1000 photos will remain on your devices until deleted.
If you still have the older photos on your phone, you can stream them to your PC by adding them to a shared photo stream and inviting yourself as a subscriber (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864). Or, if they are still in your camera roll on your phone you can import them using your usb cable as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
If they aren't on your phone any more but were in the camera roll when it was last backed up, restoring the backup should recover them.

Can't find Playlists folder to help me stream with Subsonic.

HI there.
I’m runnun iTunes 11 on OS 10.8.4.
I’ve used iTunes constantly for many years and do tons of library organization, have made hundreds of playlists, have a massive library with relatively few problems (in recent years at least) and use home sharing to stream to Apple TV, controlled with iPhone and iPad.
I want to use Subsonic for long distance streaming, and setting it up to find the music files was no problem, they are on an external drive, the the rest should be on my main drive.   But I’ll be dang - diddley - anged if i can find the folder containing my playlists.
Subsonic’s default suggested path is /Users/Shared/Playlists.   (Shouldn’t it say iTunes in there somewhere?) My Users/Shared folder has folders for other app’s like Adobe, but nothing for iTunes or Playlists.
Under my own Username there is Music, and iTunes within that, but here’s where it gets weird and messy. The only folder with a promising name within, iTunes Playlists, contains only about a dozen xml files of specific playlists I exported to use with a label maker, and co-responding folder called Playlist Acoustica Labels, with a handful of similarly named files.
Searching in Finder, the only folders with Playlists in the name are within the location: Username/Music/beaTunes/   Besides a few that were obviously custom named by me within BeaTunes, there is one called iTunes Library (biglong#insidebrackets), and another simply called Playlists.   This final folder has a copy of what looks something like my libraries playlists, but from 2 years ago, when I last even tried to really use BeaTunes; the playlist .m3u8 files are all dated as last modified in 2011, with folders and playlists I’ve since deleted, and nothing new created since then. (The only files that are updated for this morning are de-highlted .DS_Store files, whatever the heck those are.)
By the way, the reason I stopped trying to use BeaTunes was it never worked for me, not once. After taking like, seriously, hours to load my library, I had it generate a custom list based on a sample track, and it produced other tracks from the same album. That was $40 or however much well spent. Anyone with a huge library ever have any luck with it? What a waste.
Anyway, those are seriously the only folders I can find anywhere called Playlists.   I’ve been surfing Apple Support Pages and various forums for answers, and nothing is clearing anything up. (Of course there is the red herring hits from people referring to the Playlist Folders *inside iTunes you create to group actual playlists,* but nothing else than similar dead ends regarding system folders with playlist files.
Some of the typically mystifying Apple genius/whatever pages seem to be directing me towards a file within iTunes Media called iTunes Music Library.xml (and with Backup in the name just before .xml, and some other variations of old versions of the same.   The doc’s and some posters seem to indicate that these contain all the iTunes metadata. I tried directing Subsonic to this file, and to the folder containing it, but nothing ever changes; Subsonic’s Home Screen always shows all my artists, but nothing under Playlists.
I saw something about another file called iTunes Libary.itl as a companion to .xml, and I tried that one too nothing. The iTunes Media > iTunes file I’ve found much of this in DID, by the way, have what looked like all of the apps that I’ve bought, probably all my iPhone Voice Notes, and a group of E-music mp3’s I downloaded when my external drive hook up was not working, redirecting my library to the Main HD before I switched it back and copied all those files to the correct music location.. So the evidence say this iTunes location is running the media on the external drive, and can’t find anything for iTunes on the external except for the music files.
I’m just stumped. I wish there was a way to right click a playlist name, like you can a song in iTunes, and select “Show file in Finder.” But I tried it, right clicking does nothing. So I’m out of ideas.
Oh yeah, I also have an app running that makes invisible files visible. That didn’t help either. Man I’m just out of ideas here. Something so simple, but then I’ve seen Mac complicate simple things before with no warning or disregard, so I’m hoping someone knows something to help me find where these things live. This thing has devoured my Sunday morning.
Any and all help and assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks all.
Best,
Brian

Dear Brian:
Create a Play List in iTunes.
Control-Click and open "Export" in the highlighted Playlist in iTunes.
With "Export" opened:
1. Click on "Format" and choose "M3U";
2. In "Save As" name your "WhatEverNamePlaylist.m3u"; and
3. In "Where" tell the program where to send your "WhatEverNamePlaylist.m3u".
You are done creating the Playlist.m3u in iTunes.
Open "Subsonic Web Page".
Left hand column open "Import playlist".
In "Import playlist" click "Choose File" and open the "WhatEverNamePlaylist.m3u"; you created in iTunes.
The "WhatEverNamePlaylist.m3u" should now occupy the space between "Choose File" and "OK".
Click "OK".
The file should now be in the "Playlist" on the left.

My iPad is filling up my PowerBook hard disk. Where can I find the sync Photo file to delete it ?

Hi
My iPad is filling up my PowerBook hard disk. Where can I find the sync Photo file to delete it ?
Copying over photos via iTunes/iPhoto - there is a back-up file created (I can not turn it off) and it's now filling my PB-Pro.
So I need to find it and trash it and start over.
- Where is it located ?
- What is it's name ?
Yours Bengt W

Thank You

In which folder of my Seagate 3TB external hard drive, can I find my iPhoto photos from my iMac (iOS X Maverick)?

Is this external drive a Time Machine backup?
Then find what you want using Time Machine (or whatever application you used to make the backup).
Your iPhoto pictures are in the iPhoto library in Users/Pictures.

I am very computer illeriate so please dumb it down so I understand.
Hook up the Seagate drive (don't use their software) to the Mac and a TimeMachine window should appear, click yes and let it work for hours until completed. Hook up occassionally and it will backup your entire boot drive.
If you need to format the drive, open Disk Utiltiy in your Applications > Utilities folder, click on your new drive on the left and Partition, 1, Option GUID and OS X Extended Journaled as the format and click apply.
You should get another external drive, this will be your storage drive for a duplicate of all your photo's.
Connect it to the Mac, format it the same way as above, then you need to drag and drop your photo's to it.
If your photo's are in iPhoto, then inside your Pictures folder is a iPhoto Library, drag and drop it onto the icon of the external storage drive every time you want to make a backup.
The first time you drag and drop, it will copy it.
The next time you do it, it will ask if you want to replace the iPhoto Library with the new one.
If your sure you want to do this, then say YES.
If you want to make multiple dated backups of the iPhoto Library, double click on the external hard drive icon and it will open into a window.
Use the Finder > New Folder and you can click on the name and change the type to date, then drag the more recent copy of iPhoto Library to that folder.
This way you can have more than one copy of the iPhoto Library on the external storage drive at the same time as they are in folders. This way you can create a archive of dated photo's.
Good Luck, and take a class or have someone teach you about basic OS X user interface.

IPhoto can not find the original photo, does iPhoto copy the photo or just make a thumbnail?

Hi,
I'm scanning and putting all of my (paper) photos into my computer and then into iPhoto, tagging them, and doing all the time consuming things necessary to build a good library.
I've tried to open a few of the events and look at the photos I put in but I get an error that iPhoto can not find the original photo. When I put a photo into iPhoto does the program only make a thumbnail copy with a link to the original, or does it actually copy the photo into the library? I'm thinking the former. Because I have a Time Machine backup, a hard copy, and (presumably) a copy in iPhoto, I have been deleting the photos AFTER putting them into iPhoto. Do I need to keep the photos I put in iPhoto on my computer? Will I need to go into TM and restore them? Will I loose the information like Faces, Places, Keywords, if I do?
Thank you much,
I'm working with 9.1.2

I have exactly the same problem except my photo is named "L1000093.jpg" and it's been there for a year now, but suddenly, when I wanted to view it in it's album, ("Favorite" which has been there for a year too), it says "The photo P1010311.jpg cannot be found"!!! What the heck is going on? So I canceled, went back to the album, clicked on L1000093, clicked "show event", went over to Event, clicked "reveal in finder" and there it is, iPhoto Library/Master/blah blah blah... L1000093.jpg!
Where the hack did that P1010311.jpg came from? Sure I have that photo, but it's in a completely different event and a different album! What's is iPhoto 11 / Lion / iTunes 10.5.3(3) up to?
So I threw L1000093jpg into the trash, went into Lightroom, find the original, re-export it, load it again into iPhoto, added it again to the album (favorite), and guess what? I just did all those and the same "The bloody photo cannot be found" message popped up and when I go to finder, there it is.
This is a bug. It's been a bug since 2006 as far as I can remember. And Apple had never done a complete fix. It's an if thing!
And the most frustrating part: Althought they call this an Apple forum and you have to sign in to participate, I have never seen one Apple software guy here saying "this is what to do", just us victims helping each other and many non-Apple folks guessing to the best of their ability to comfort us.
Oh, toys are toys. I sometimes wonder if Steve had fought so hard yet the cancer in Apple actually won!

I just downloaded the lastest iphoto update and I can't find my all photos

I just downloaded the lastest iphoto update and I can't find my all photos. How do I find these photos? Where did it place them? Please advise.
Thanks!

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.
Regards

HT201317 I just changed my I phone I got all my photos from 2012 but I can't find my latest photo that I had in my old phone could some one give me an advise ?

Hi
I changed my I phone 4 . For some how I can't find my latest photos from my iCloud the only pictures I that I got is from 2012
Could some one give me an advise where to find them from as they were saved in stream photo

Photo stream only saves you photos from the last 30 days. Older photos are deleted from photo stream even though they will remain on your device. However, if you connect a new device to your photo stream, then will only receive the photos from the last 30 days as they others have been removed.
If you still have your old phone and the photos are in the camera roll, import them to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then sync them to your new phone.

HT201317 How can I find a specific photo in Photo Stream?

How can I find a specific photo in Photo Stream?

Yeah...that's the one thing that's odd about PS Touch; you'll have to browse for your desired images. I'm not sure if it expects for the user to have what could be hundreds of images in a folder (which is why I would prefer to go through Android Gallery; I can open the first image from Android Gallery into PS Touch, but if I want to add any more I have to do it PS Touch's way).

Hi by mistake i deleted some photos on my i phone 5s how can i get back that photos?

by mistake i deleted some photos on my i phone 5s how can i get back that photos can you tell me please.

You cannot unless you backed up your phone. If you had PhotoStream on, they might still be there as well.

HT201317 If I lost my Iphone 5 with I cloud can I get back my photo when I buy another iPhone 5

If I lost my Iphone 5 with I cloud can I get back my photo when I buy another new iPhone 5?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Only if you made a backup of the old iPhone which includes the photos you had stored in Camera Roll (if the photo you want to restore is there) or if the photo was stored in Photo Stream. In both of the cases, you will be able to get back the photo, but note that Photo Stream deletes photos 30 days after adding them

You can't (only) de-authorise computers you no longer have access to.
Your only option is to de-authorise all your computers and then re-authorise those you wish to be authorised. You can do this by logging into your account settings in iTunes on your computer (Store > View My ID) and selecting the option to de-authorise all.
Please note however, you are only permitted to do this once in each 12 month period, therefore you would be better de-authorising your computers before you lose access to them. you can do this from the 'Store' menu in iTunes.
