Deleted photos from iPhoto trash & need to recover - help

I deleted photos from iPhoto and the iPhoto Trash folder and need to get them back. Can anyone please help?

they are in the system trash  if you have not emptied it - drag tehm from the system trash to the desktop and then import into iPhoto
Or simply restore your backup from just before you deleted them

  • Deleting photos from iphoto trash can

    I can not delete photos from iphoto trash can, I get a notice that they are locked.
    these photos were deleted along time ago from the hard drive.
    I was surprised to see them, where are they ? so I can delete them,I can't do it from the trash can.

    Try the following:download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name in the owner section and Staff in the group section. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. Then try emptying the trash bin again.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

    I have deleted photos from iPhoto trash but apparently still have 82GB of photos which I cannot see or delete - any help would be much appreciated

    check the overall trash on the 'dock'.when files are deleted from programmes, they always go to the general 'Trash'  as general files and you will need to delete form there as well. if there is still a lot of missing files taking up space try reloading or deleting 'Iphoto' and uploading again.

  • Deleting photos from iPhoto trash crashes iPhoto

    I've been a bit remiss in deleting photos from iPhoto trash and now when I attempt to delete the 6379 photos in there it crashes iPhoto.  I have tried the right click on the trash in the left menu bar and also the "iPhoto" > Empty Trash.  How can I get rid of these photos?

    This will happen if you try and delete that many shots from iphoto at one go. We generally recommend that you empty the trash in batches of 100 or so at a time.

  • I delete photos from iPhoto but after backing up my computer they are back! How do I stop that?

    I delete photos from iPhoto but when I back up my computer the library rebuilds them!

    After I do a backup it rebuilds the iPhoto.
    How do you back up and what is the "it" that rebuilds iphoto? Do you mean this process of arching/deleting? It may have damaged your Library.
    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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, 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
    Going forward: another way of archiving:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    Now you have two full versions of the Library.
    3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
    Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
    Some Notes:
    As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
    You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

  • Does Time Capsule back up everything on my computer? If I inadvertently delete photos from iPhoto can they be retrieved from Time Capsule?

    Does Time Capsule back up everything on my computer? If I inadvertently delete photos from iPhoto can they be retrieved from Time Capsule?

    About TM "Backup Drive is Full"
    Alert TM only deletes older files if they have been deleted from the source and when TM needs space on the backup drive for a new incremental backup. Time Machine "thins" it's backups; hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first of the day; those "daily" backups over 30 days old, except the first of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there's room.
    So, how long a backup file remains depends on how long it was on your Mac before being deleted, assuming you do at least one backup per day. If it was there for at least 24 hours, it will be kept for at least a month. If it was there for at least a week, it will be kept as long as there's room.
    Note, that on a Time Capsule the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but doesn't shrink. Thus, from the user's view of the TC it appears that no space has been freed, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.
    Once TM has found it cannot free up enough space for a new backup it reports the disk is full. You can either erase the backup drive and start your backups anew or replace the drive with a larger drive.
    Also, see Pondini's Time Machine FAQ

  • How do I delete photos from iPhoto on my Mac os x snow leopard

  • How do I totally permanently DELETE photos from iPhoto?

    How do I totally permanently DELETE photos from iPhoto?

    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

  • If I delete photos from iPhoto on my ipad can I reimport them to my ipad from iTunes

    If I want to delete photos from iPhoto, and I have transferred them to iTunes by exporting them.  How do I delete them from the iTunes cache so I can export new photos from iPhoto?

    Let me answer your question this way.... If you import photos from your iPad to your computer, and then delete them from the iPad, you will be able to transfer them back to the iPad by syncing them using iTunes, or by using a WiFi Photo Transfer app.
    As long as the photos are moved to your computer for storage, you can safely delete them from the iPad.

  • How do I recover accidentally deleted photos from iPhoto?

    Hello,
    While I was organizing photos in photo section of the library, I meant to delete one section (photos from one day) but instead, I deleted all my photos.  Usually, deleted photos go to trash can of iPhoto.  Somehow, my 5000+ photos managed to completely disappear and are nowhere to be seen.  I did not have them backed up in iCloud or Time Machine.  Please please help where find where they may be.  All my memories are gone and I'm on the verge of breaking down!!! Please let me know if there are any way I can recover these photos. Thank you.
    Jenna

    Jenna,
    what is your iPhoto version?
    When you look at the "Library" section of the source list - what are the numbers of events and Photos shown there?
    If you are seeing zero Photos and events, check, if you have accdentally hidden your photos - make sure the "View" menu is set to show "Hidden Photos". Does that turn up more photos and events?
    Also, check, if you are viewing the correct iPhoto library. Use the menu "File > Switch to Library" in iPhoto to see a list of available iPhoto libraries.
    And check your System Trash for photos.

  • Cannot find deleted photos from iPhoto in time machine!

  • How do I delete photos from iPhoto without deleting them from my hard drive

    I've imported a bunch of photos from my hard drive.
    I would now like to delete some of these photos from iPhoto but would still like to keep them on my hard drive in case I need to access them in future.
    However, when I delete a photo from iPhoto and move it to the Trash, once Trash is emptied it deletes the original from the hard disc as well.
    How do I get around this?
    Thanks
    Nick

    Thanks guys.
    Can I hide an entire Event?
    I used to use Picasa on a PC. When you make any changes in Picasa (even rotating a picture) it creates a copy. Any photos you have altered get named 'Originals' so when you import into iPhoto you end up with hundreds of Events called Originals with near duplicate photos.
    So probably a third of my images (around 1500) are near dupes which I want out of the application but want to keep secure on my hard drive...
    The pitfalls of switching to iPhoto from Picasa I guess (that said, iPhoto looks great)...

  • How do i delete photos from iPhoto without deleting them permanently from my macbook pro?

    I'm sorry but i'm new to all this. When i move photos from iphoto to the trash will that also delete that particular photo from my macbook pro storage entirely?

    To remove a photo from iPhoto and your Mac:
    Put it in the iPhoto Trash, then enpty it. Then empty the system trash as well
    If you want to remove a photo from iPhoto but keep it on your Mac:
    First Export the file from iPhoto (File -> Export) to whereever you want it and then go through the steps above.
    Confusion arises as the notion that you would want to remove a pic from iPhoto but keep it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. It's like saying I want to remove one address from Address Book, but still keep it on my Mac. The point of iPhoto and such apps is that they are used to manage your photos. Anything that you need to do with the pics cn be done either with or via iPhoto.

  • Deleting Photos from iPhoto library

    I deleted photos from my iPhoto Library manually by going to Pictures<iPhotoLibrary<Data<then scoured each year deleting unwanted photos & renaming the keepers.  I then organized the keepers in another folder under Pictures.  Now my iPhoto library displays grey "ghost boxes" where the old photos used to be.  If I click on them the image appears.  I don't want the images or their ghosts on my iPhoto display. 
    1-What should I do in the future to clean up my photos & permenantly delete the trash ones
    2-What should I do now?  I did make a back-up of my iPhoto library on an external hard drive, so I could bring it back to its original state, however, I spent HOURS deleting, renaming, and regoranizing photos into folders, so I'd hate to have done all that work for nothing. 
    My MacBookPro is about 4 years old and I am running the original iPhoto.

    I deleted photos from my iPhoto Library manually by going to Pictures<iPhotoLibrary<Data
    doing this trashed your iPhoto libra - it is a SQL database you must NEVER make any changes to its ocntents or structure using the finder - only modify it using the iPhoto program
    1-What should I do in the future to clean up my photos & permenantly delete the trash ones
    using iPhoto drag photos from an event to the iPhoto  trash and empty the iPhoto trash every 100 or so
    2-What should I do now?  I did make a back-up of my iPhoto library on an external hard drive, so I could bring it back to its original state, however, I spent HOURS deleting, renaming, and regoranizing photos into folders, so I'd hate to have done all that work for nothing.
    Load your backup and stay out of the inside of the iPhoto library - or start from scratch with a new library and stay out of it
