Getting photos from Apple TV back to iPhoto

I have just loaded all my photos to Apple TV, a family member accidentally erased my entire iPhoto album from my iMac and from the TRASH, about 1,500 pics. I have disabled the sync on my Apple TV so I would not loose them on my Apple TV, is there a way I can get the photos off Apple TV or download them so I can get them back onto my iMac?
Thank you in advance for the help

That kind of depends on whether or not the links to the photos still exists in itunes. I know that with movies and tv shows I can copy the files to an external HDD for backup and delete them from the itunes/Movies folder but not deleting the items from the itunes library from within the application. After syncing the movies and shows on Apple TV are still intact. Not sure if photos work the same way.
You will not be able to get the photos off the ATV without cracking the case but they are still there to be viewed. If the data is really important I wouldn't hesitate to open the box and void the warranty. Another apple TV is a bargain compared to losing one of a kind data. Who says it wouldn't work once you put it back together?

  • Getting photos from my ipad back to my Mac that are NOT in camera roll.

    Our hard drive failed and my back up files were corrupt so I lost my entire digital life including my iphotos.  I had set up my ipad to sync several folders from  iphoto to my ipad when I did an itunes sync.  All of these photos and folders  are currently viewable on my ipad.  When I plug the ipad in to sync, i can only transfer the photos that are currently in the camera roll (355 photos)  There are 5000 photos on the ipad via the folders I previously synced. 
    How do I get these photo back to my mac?  Is it even possible?
    Image caputer doesn't work because it only looks at the photos in the camera roll (ie taken by the ipad).
    To sum up:  Basically starting with a new mac and trying to get photos from the ipad back on the mac.
    Thank You!

    If you have iPhoto on your iPad, you can save the photos back to the camera roll: you can select complete albums or events at once to do that.
    Save photos to the Camera Roll on your iOS device
    Tap a photo, album, or event and tap > Camera Roll.
    Tap Selected, or change the photos you want to save:
    Select different photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap up to 100 photos, and tap Next.
    Select a range of photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.
    Select all the photos in an album or event: Tap All.
    Tap Done.
    To use your photo in another app, open the app and select the Camera Roll album.
    For other sharing options from iPhoto see:  Ways to share photos
    But a third-party app, like Terence Devlin suggested wll probably quicker and safer, since you have 5000 photos to transfer.
    my back up files were corrupt
    Have you tried data recovery software on your backup drive? Software like
    Disk Drill: http://www.cleverfiles.com/
       might still be able to restore jpeg files at least.

  • For reasons best left unsaid, in a recent rebuild of my iMac andTime Capsule, I lost all my photos. I do however currently have them on my iPad. Is it possible to retrieve all my photos from the iPad back to iPhotos (now Photos) on my iMac?

    For reasons best left unsaid, in a recent rebuild of my iMac and Time Capsule, I lost all my photos. I do however have them all currently on my iPad. Is it possible to retrieve my photos from the iPad back to iPhotos (now Photos) on my iMac?

    have the photos on the iPad been taken with the iPad camera or imported using the camera connection kit?
    Or have they been synced to the iPad with iTunes?
    You can download any photos to your mac by connecting the iPad by USB to to your Mac and import to Phots, but this way only photos from the Camera Roll will be imported.  If your photos have been synced with iTunes, you can only mail them to your mac.
    See:  iOS: Syncing photos using iTunes
    You can't reimport pictures synced from your computer to your device back to your computer. You can only import pictures taken by your device, or saved to it, from your device to your computer. If you need to retrieve synced photos from your device, email the photos from the device to yourself. Then download the photos from the emails to your computer.

  • How do you download photos from Apple TV back to a mac

    I had to clear my hard drive and lost all my photos however they are stored on my apple TV. Does anyone know how to get them back onto Iphoto from the apple TV?

    There is no easy procedure to do this.
    • You can take our the ATV's hard drive, connect it to a computer, and read the data (thereby voiding your warranty).
    • You can try to "hack" the software of the ATV to access the disk. A commercial offer of a device that promises to do this just appeared (look at the thread next to yours), but nobody in this forum has yet tested it, so I certainly am not recommending it. If it works, it's probably the cheapest option if you're not technically savvy.

  • Post Mac Crash - Recovering Photos from iPod touch back to iPhoto

    I could really use some help because I don't want to lose the pictures I have left on my iPod Touch. Thus I won't sync until I know exactly what I am doing so that I don't erase what's on the iPod Touch.
    Several weeks ago my Mac completely crashed and no recovery could recapture my photos in iPhoto. I do regularly backup and have most of my older files safe and sound but I lost the pictures I had since my last backup (almost a year's worth). However, I do have some of those "lost pics" on my iPod Touch as I synced them there (full sizes and all). Is there some way to get them back into iPhoto? I have reconnected the iPod Touch to the Mac hoping to see it as a hard drive and manually pull the photos over but apparently it does not recognize the iPod touch that way. Within iTunes I can not upload the photos either.
    Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
    Cheers,
    -J

    Talked to Apple support and they recommended third party support to find a solution. One option I found is TouchCopy @ $24.95. Here is the link http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/?gclid=CMuQ85XZ4ZgCFRWbnAodJSjjcg
    If I find out anything else, I'll update.

  • Get photos from iPhone one-way into iPhoto

    I want to be able to load pics from my iPhone one-way-only into iPhoto *without* loading the iPhoto pics back into the iPhone...
    How do I do that, please?
    thanks

    Still works for me
    on an e-mail with photos attached go to the Save button next to the attachments list, point to the triangle to the right of Save inside the button and hold the left mouse button down - a menu will appear with save all at the top entry, a list of photos below that and "add to iPhoto" as the bottom entry - move your pointer down to the "add to iPhoto" and release and your photo will be a new event in iPhoto

  • How to get photos from an email message into iPhoto?

    Not sure if this is for the iPhoto forum or the Mail forum, but here we go:
    I'm trying to figure out how to get photos I've received by email (through Mail) into iPhoto. I seem to remember seeing Jobs demonstrate it onstage a year or two ago but I can't remember what he did. I recall it was a simple one or two step process.
    Any help?

  • Is there a a way to get photos from your iPod back onto your computer?

    My sister's computer crashed, and she lost all her photos. Her pictures are on her iPod, but I can't find a way to get them onto another computer. I searched posts looking for programs that could help, but they all cost money. Does anyone know of free programs that can help me????

    There aren't any free ones that I know of, but if you copied photos to your iPod using the full resolution option, enable disk use, open your iPod in "my computer" in Windows or Finder on a Mac, open the photos folder then open the "full resolution" folder and drag the photos out of that folder to your desktop. For enabling disk use look here.
    Disk Use.
    If you only copied the photos as thumbnails, you can't do this so you'll need a program such as this one.
    iPod Photo Copy. (Windows only)
    iPod Photo Liberator. (both Mac and Windows versions available)
    Photos as thumbnails won't be of the original quality when copied back to your computer.

  • Transferring RAW photos from an iTouch back to my Mac

    My iMac recently bogged out on me. I have no idea what happened. Nonetheless everything was wiped clean from it. Luckily, I was able to salvage some of my stuff (music, videos etc) from my iTouch using TouchCopy. However, my iTouch has about 800 or so photos all of which are RAW in format. TouchCopy does not recognize RAW images so I have yet to transfer all my photos from the iTouch back into iPhoto. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? How can I get these photos back onto my iMac. Thank you.
    Matt

    There are no RAW images on the Touch or iPhone.
    The images there are in relatively low resolution compared to what was on your Mac.
    You should be able to import them in iPhoto or Image Capture applications or even Preview.
    Connect your iPod and it should show up in those apps.
    Launch Preview and goto the File menu / Import image.

  • How to get photos from iphoto back onto an SD card. I have a MacBook Pro with a built in SC card slot.

    How to get photos from iPhoto back onto a SD card. I have a MacBook Pro with built in SD card slot. I have tried "Export" but this does not work.

    It's best to export the photos to a folder and then drag the folder onto the memory card.  Memory cards are usually formatted for PCs, FAT 32, which doesn't permit more than a limited number of files in the root directory. Putting the photos in a folder gets around that limitation.

  • Getting photos from iPhoto to SD card

    I have read many threads regarding this issue, but cannot find an answer that works. I'm trying to get photos from iPhoto to a 2GB Snadisk SD card for display on a digital photo frame.
    I have tried direct drag/drop copying and exporting from within iPhoto, and get a message saying "out of free disk space" or "cannot create volume" after about 100MB of photos have transferred. Obviously there's a lot more space on a 2GB card.
    I have tried, according to recommendations here, transferring the photos to a desktop folder and then to a folder on the SD card. This works but the photo frame cannot read photos inside a folder, they must be in the root directory.
    I tried transferring to the card while in my camera instead of the card reader and get the same results.
    I have reformatted the card in my camera and this did nothing.
    Any other advice, or do I need to bag the photo frame?
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I have the same problem and haven't found the answer. I had to keep adding files one by one but could only get about 102 file, at 76 MB. IB took my 2G card back and used an old 128 KB card. I tried using folders also with no success. Emailed the manufacturer but haven't heard back from them. If you get a solution post it back here.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
