Deleted my iphoto library,any chance of getting it back???? HELP!

I was fooling around making new icons for folders today, and somehow I made a copy of the "photos" folder on the HD. Of course the iphoto library in located there. Well, I thought I deleted the "extra" folder, and then went onward. Found out I deleted the "real" folder and I have no photos or iphoto library. Of course I emptied the trash (not secure empty though). Is there any chance I can recover my photos? Is there software out there that can recover them???
Help......!

Steve:
I doubt it if you can regain the library as it was but there's a chance you can salvage the photos that were deleted. They will not be titled like they once were and in no particular order. Download and run SubrosaSoft FileSalvage in it's demo mode. It will indicate to you how many image files it will be able to save once you've paid for it. If is seems worthwhile purchase it, and run the salvage program.
You will keep a backup of the library in the future I hope.
Do you Twango?

    And Photostream would only have the latest 1000 pictures taken. You photos are in the hand of whomever stole your devices.

    ALL OF A SUDDEN IT SAYS IT CANNOT LOCATE SOME OF MY SONGS BUT THEY STILL APPEAR IN MY LIBRARY  ANY WAY TO GET THEM BACK

    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • I just had my hard drive replaced on my Mac after my other one crashed. However, I've lost iPhoto! Any way to get it back w/all my pics?

    After my hard drive on my iMac (2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 duo) crashed, the tech guy installed a new hard drive and was able to recover most things for me. I lost all my bookmarks and my iPhoto, with hundreds of photos. I have Maverick installed. I have a 1.5TB external hard drive and it shows iPhoto, iDVD, iTunes, etc., but it doesn't allow me to open any of them. How can I see what's in these icons if it won't open because it's in a Time Machine backup?

    How old is this Time Machine backup? Is it current?
    To be able to use applications and your iPhoto library and iTunes library you need to restore them from the Time Machine backup.  To get your photos back, you need to restore the iPhoto Library from your Pictures folder, and to reinstall the iPhoto application.
    This would have best been done, when you reinstalled the system using Setup assistant. http://pondini.org/OSX/SetupLion.html
    Did the Tech Guy not use your Time Machine backup to restore your Mac?
    Since you already set up your Mac, you can use the Migration Assistant from Applications > Utilities to restore your old files to a new user account.

    To reinstall iPhoto: Did iPhoto originally come preinstalled on your Mac, and what was the MacOS X version that came with your Mac?  Or did you buy the iLife installer package?

  • How to restore a previous session after firefox closed and cleared browsing history, is still any chance to get it back there?

    Accidentally shut down the pc and firefox did not come back with option restore previous session at the first screen even in History-Restory previous session is Grey. My settings are clean history after firefox is closed.
    Is there any change to get back on my Tabs from previous session even the history browsing was cleaned? I would appreciate your help!

    In general FireFox will behave in 1 of 3 ways when restarted after a shutdown.
    1. Kill Shutdown
    This happens when the FireFox process is terminated with a TerminateProcess() call or if the FireFox process crashes. It is a dirty exit, no clean-up is done. When restarted after this FireFox will show a "Well this is embarrassing" dialog with options to restore selected parts of the previous session.
    2. Force Shutdown
    This happens when another process asks FireFox to shutdown cleanly (such as a PC restart) by a call to ExitProcessEx() and does not ask the user for confirmation. Normally, when this type of shutdown occurs, Firefox will just restore all tabs and sessions without asking. However if Firefox is set to automatically delete history on shutdown, it can't. I suspect this is your situation. I would suggest to the FF team that deleting history should be skipped in this case, only a user shutdown should delete history.
    3. User shutdown.
    This is when the user tells Firefox to close down (by selecting Exit or closing all tabs etc..). Confirmation is asked to close all tabs (if enabled and more than 1 tab is open). On restart, nothing is restored.
    Unfortunately, if you have auto clear history enabled, there's no way to recover the previous session. Sorry.

  • I delete my iPhoto incident. how can i get it back ?

    i want to get my iphoto back .....
    can u help me ??????
    i need your help

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • Broken root domain without a valid backup. Any chance to get it back to work properly ?

    Hi guys,
    i came across the following issue:
    Imagine a standard enterprise environment with a forest. The root domain is called contoso.com and there is a subdomain called company.contoso.com. There are also subdomains of company.contoso.com, but they are not important for the problem description.
    The functional level of the forest is Windows 2003-interim & the domain level of the root domain is Windows 2003, as is the domain level of all subdomains. All Domain Controllers are Windows 2003 SP2.
    There have been people in the environment with too many rights, that used to promote DCs and then also just decommission them without properly demoting them. This left several unreachable domain controllers in both the root domain & the subdomain.
    I cleared all those DCs that are no longer available, which made company.contoso.com stable and reliable. All DCs within the subdomain are properly talking to each other and replicating fine.
    Then i discovered the main issue here. The replication in the root domain is broken. The is only one domain controller left in the root domain, nevertheless the server is suffering from USN rollback. Digging deeper i found out that the domain controllers
    have been virtualized years ago, but no one ever cared about the root domain. So i found out that replication stopped in 2006 when obv. the last healthy domain controller was removed from the root domain.
    So i have basically a crippled root domain with a crippled domain controller. I am not able to set the forest level to 2003 native, as the domain controller says that the domain contoso.com is still Windows 2000. This is not correct, i have checked msDS-Behaviour-Version
    and nTMixedDomain. They are properly set to 2 & 0.
    My idea was to introduce a new installed 2003 server and promote it to a DC. Then get rid of the broken one. Unfortunately the broken DC is not replicating. Due to USN rollback the netlogon service goes constantly to paused state & of course both inbound
    & outbound replication are disabled. Even when i reenable the replication it is just a matter of seconds before they get disabled again. I also tried to introduce a new 2012R2 DC, but that fails of course due to the forest level not beeing 2003.
    So i am a little stuck here. Any thoughts about how to continue to troubleshoot ?
    I have a final idea:
    Install a new forest with the same name contoso.com and set up a trust with company.contoso.com.
    The question would be, how can i convince company.contoso.com that the new installed forest and domain are its parent ?

    > Install a new forest with the same name contoso.com and set up a trust
    > with company.contoso.com.
    > The question would be, how can i convince company.contoso.com that the
    > new installed forest and domain are its parent ?
    You cannot. Sad, but true. If the forest root domain is dead, the forest
    is dead. In addition, you have no Naming Master and no Schema Master
    FSMOs. The only reliable solution is creating a new forest and new
    subdomains, then migrating all objects...

  • Error 92h- ProtectTools- Any chance of getting data back?

    After defragging, I get the dreaded "error 92h- EpePC has been corrupted." Using Protect Tools with Endpoint Encryption PC v6.1. Is there a way to un-encrypt the drive? If so, what tools are needed to do this. Luckily I have the USB key (stroke of luck finding that one...) Thanks for any insights. I know that there are a number of threads on this topic, but nothing that was clearly pointing a way to success.

    You may need to provide some more details. iCloud does not expire. You may have had a complimentary storage upgrade that expired but your Apple ID and the free base storage would still be valid. I have also seen reports of an "iCloud session" expiration. More details from you may help me or someone else here give you a more helpful answer.

  • Just upgraded to IOS6 on the ipad and found there is no Youtube, chance of getting that back.

    Just upgraded to IOS6 on the ipad and found there is no Youtube now, any chance of getting that back?

    You are only as young as you feel......
    This is an example of how you can select the exact content that you want to sync to your device. You do not have to sync the entire iTunes library. You can pick and choose the music, apps, books and so on that you want to sync. This is using music as an example.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Music Tab on the right.
    Click on only the albums or playlists that you want to sync.
    Click on the Sync Music Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    You can do this with apps, books, movies .... Whatever .... You have the freedom to sync whatever you want.

  • When updating my ipad air to iOs 8 my 2 albums on iphoto were deleted since iphoto is no longer supported. Anyone similar experiences? Any chance to get back my albums (not only the pictures, but the actual album with text etc)?

    when updating my ipad air to iOs 8 my 2 albums on iphoto were deleted since iphoto is no longer supported. Anyone similar experiences? Any chance to get back my albums (not only the pictures, but the actual album with text etc)?

    This blur below copied from here. I made the text bold for emphasis.
    Migrating from iPhoto for iOS to Photos on iOS 8 - Apple Support
    The following data will migrate from iPhoto to Photos.
    Any photos in your iPhoto library that aren't already in Photos are added.
    Image adjustments you made in iPhoto are migrated to Photos.
    If you applied image adjustments to photos synced to your iOS device from iTunes, a duplicate of each photo will be created in Photos with adjustments applied.
    Photos hidden in iPhoto do not appear in the Years, Moments, or Collections views in Photos, but are placed in an album titled Hidden.
    Photo Books, Web Journals, and Slideshows are converted into regular albums in Photos. Text and layouts are not preserved.
    Only projects created on the device performing the migration will be converted. Projects you synced from other devices to iPhoto via iCloud must be converted from the devices on which they were created.
    Photos marked as Favorites in iPhoto are marked as Favorites in Photos.
    Tags and captions from iPhoto are not displayed in Photos, but you can use them as search terms and they will show up respectively as Keywords and Titles in Photos search results.
    Flags from iPhoto are converted to the keyword Flagged.

  • I have deleted my iPhoto library by mistake. Is there any way to recover it?  My trash has been deleted and it is not in there.

    Help!  I have deleted my iphoto library.  Is there any way to recover it?  It is not in my trash as I emptied that.

    If you really moved it to the Trash and emptied the Trash, your best option is to restore the iPhoto library from your backup.
    But if you did not actually trash the library and it is just missing, search for it with Find Any File as described by Old Toad in this post:   Re: iPhoto Library is missing. What do I do?
    If you don't have a backup and cannot find the library, you will need to buy recovery software to find the photos, but that will not restore the library.

  • I accidentally deleted my iPhoto a while ago and don't have money to purchase it is there any way to get it back or download it for free?

    i accidentally deleted my iPhoto a while ago and don't have money to purchase it is there any way to get it back or download it for free?

    Howdid you buy iPhoto originally? Did it come preinstalled on a new macwith MacOS X 10.7 or later? Then you can download it from the Purchased tab of the AppStore:
    See:  OS X: About OS X Recovery
    Restoring iLife applications after Internet Restore of OS X
    If your computer came with OS X Lion or later and you erase your hard disk and install OS X, you can download iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand from the Mac App Store.
    Choose App Store from the Apple menu.
    Enter your Apple ID and password when prompted.
    Click Purchases.
    If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
    You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to complete installation of your applications.
    If your Mac came with an earlier system, reinstall iPhoto from the bundled application installation disk.
    And if you bought an iLife disk, use that to reinstall.
