duplicated my library by mistake - too late to undo -- deleting over a thousand photos not my cup of tea, any shortcuts , suggestions??????

Describe how you duplicated your library? Do you have a recent backup of your library? Where are you seeing these duplicates: in iPhoto or via the Finder?

I have recently bought a new macbook pro because my macbook's screen was broken. I had all my files backed up but when I opened my iphoto library on my computer it asks me to upgrade the library - which i did, only to find over a thousand photos missing.

I have had the files re-backed up but am hesitant to do the upgrade to my library. anyone have another solution???

How did you have your ties backed up?nhow did you restore them? Have you tried restoring again?

How can I recover photos that were deleted from Iphone. Photos were streamed to icloud

How can I recover photos that were deleted from iphone. Photos were streamed to icloud.

Are they on your computer now?

IPhoto's deleted over 2,000 photos!!!

I was using iPhoto to send slideshows to iDvd, iPhoto had crashed a few times already, it crashed again and when I reopened it I had about 700 photos, before i'd had just under 3,000!!
I changed nothing in-between it crashing and reopening with the pics missing, didn't even click the mouse. I've rebuilt the entire library (checked the box to look for orphaned photos), I've repaired disk permissions and done everything else I've known to help solve problems, nothing has helped.
I have iPhoto 6.0.3, all the latest updates.
Reorganizing 2,000+ photos is a scary thought, please someone help me!!!

Malk:
First look in your iPhoto Library folder at the Originals folder. Inside should be a folder for each roll in the library. Check them out to see if all the originals are there. Often iPhoto will lose its link to them and they will still be there in those folders.
If they are there try rebuilding the library with iPhoto Library Manager. It creates a new, separate library and rebuilds from scratch, reading the info from the old library's data files. It has succeeded where the regular rebuild does not. Here's how:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: It can take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. One user reported that with a library of about 5,000 images it took about 12 hours so plan ahead.

My Photos app on my iPad 2 has deleted all but one of my imported photos and additionally, deleted over 2000 of my Camera Roll photos and videos. I am very upset and I may never get any of those memories back. Please help me.

My Photos application was left open last night to rebuild my library after I tried to delete 13 photos. I guess 13 really is an unlucky number, because when I tried to look at my photos this morning, all except one of my imported photos had disappeared and it had deleted over 2000 of the photos and videos on my Camera Roll. I lost memories and I need them back. Please help me restore these photos and videos. Please don't say that I should sync to my PC and right click and restore backup because the Apple backup function didn't work any of the occasions that I attempted to use it. So, please just help me get my memories back. I need help as soon as possible. This always happens to me.

try this utility : http://www.iphonebackupextractor.com/
extracts the photos with this tool on your PC, then add these photo with itunes (not in camera roll but in a dedicated folder) : so you will have a permanent backup for your pics.

Please help..my photos are not automatically downloading onto my icloud account on my pc. I have over a thousand photos on my phone and yet my icloud folder is empty

Please can someone help me.... I have tried everything and followed all the prompts but I am not winning. For some reason my photos from my phone(5s)do not download automatically onto my icloud on the pc. I have even purchased additional icloud storage...? Everything that needs to be "on" appears to be on...I dont know - I am missing something obvious?? I was under the impression that my phone would automatically download my photos to my pc - we have wifi at home so I am really confused..

Hi melaniefromsa,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that want to be able to view photos on your Photo Stream on your Windows computer. Make sure the same account is signed in to the iPhone and the iCloud Control Panel on your Windows computer and the location is correct for the photos. Please use the following article as a reference.

How can I free up space by deleting old photos from i photo? Have deleted files from iPhoto but that does not seem to free space- is it stored at a different site?

Want to free up disk space by deleting photos but unable to do so

To delete photos from iPhoto:
Drag the image from the iPhoto Library (Either Events or Photos view) to the iPhoto Trash. Empty it. Then empty the system trash as well.
If space is an issue you can run a Library from an external drive:
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.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
Or move part of the Library to an external drive.
Regards

My original computer that has my itunes account on it no longer works. I am trying to import my phones itunes settings into my new computer and it is not letting me and I don't want to loose all my photos and music, what do I do?

It does not magically appear in a new place. It will only be where you put it.
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

What version of iPhoto?

Will I lose photos if I delete an incomplete iCloud ?

To download iOS7, I started backing up to iCloud, then realised my photos were more than 5GB. I stopped the back up. Now, with iOS7 downloaded, all my photos are in the camera roll, but only using 3gb memory rather than the previous 6. The other 3 is in an incomplete iCloud back up. How do I get them restored to the phone? If I delete the cloud, will half my photos disappear from my camera roll?

If I delete Aperture and purchase it again will I lose my photos.
No, deleting Aperture and purchasing and installing will not delete your images; they are stored in the Aperture library and not in the Aperture application bundle.
Only, I do not see how this will help. You would buy exactly the version that you are using now.
As I suggested in the other thread, that Aye Es Oh pointed to:
Check, if you entered the serial numbers correctly - sometimes the printed versions do not show clearly which letter is meant; see Troubleshooting Professional Application Serial Numbers
and if you cannot make Aperture accept the serial numbers, contact Apple with a proof of purchase. You may be able to get a replacement serial number without having to pay again.

My Photos usage won't decrease, no matter how many photos & videos I delete

Ok, I was going through and cleaning up camera roll this morning, and noticed that no matter what I do, my Photos & Video usage on my 5S won't go below 9 gigabytes. Even worse, after I noticed this, I went through and deleted some more photos, and usage actually increased to 9.1 gigabytes. I am definitely not using 9 gigabytes of space, but when I go to my 'About' tab, it shows that I have 2,071 pictures and 125 videos, when I definitely don't. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this? I've restarted, but haven't done a reset.

I have several thousand photos in several folders. I have noticed that whenever I want to change the folder used as the side show source, it takes the Screen Saver Preference pane a very long time to respond. It is as if it is scanning all the photos in the currently assigned folder in order to display them in the preview window provided, and it gets so dogged down doing that it can't respond to my clicks on the Choose Folder option.
Assuming you don't want to redistribute your photos into a greater number of folders or subfolders so there would be fewer in each folder to process, you could try a workaround. Try moving your currently-assigned folder to your desktop temporarily, before opening the Screen Saver preference pane. If the preference pane can't find the old folder, it may immediately ask you to choose a new one. You could hopefully then do so, close the preference pane, and then put back the old folder.
It's my understanding that there will be no future updates to Tiger, only security fixes.
