Had to erase HD, is there any chance in recovering iPhoto photos

Had to erase my hard drive and was unable to back up, is there any chance I can recover iphoto photos? I was able to copy most of my hard drive to an external but am unable to locate if there were any photos that made it.

File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

  • Iphone 3 dropped in salt water. Appears non-functional - won't turn on. Nothing on SIM card -- had that checked. Is there ANY way to retrieve the photos and contacts. There is no backup of them.

    leave the phone in rice for >24 hours to see if it will recover
    you can check itunes as well to see if there are backups there from the top of the screen hit edit (itunes on mac) > preferences > devices , and see if a backup is listed
    also check icloud.com to see if you had any of the information backed up there (only possible if have have a 3gs or higher)
    also there are data recovery companies that can recover data even from wrecked hard drives but its not cheap, if your interested in that I would say lookup a company called drivesavers, I believe they are authorized to work on even in warranty iphones
    good luck

  • Only an exclamation point shows up when I click a thumbnail in my iphoto folder. Is there any way to recover these photos by using the thumbnails?

    Only an exclamation point shows up when I click a thumbnail in my iphoto folder. Is there any way to recover these photos by using the thumbnails? Please help. Thanks!

    That exclamation mark is displayed when iPhoto cannot link to the original file.  First make sure you are running a "managed" library by checking iPhoto's Advanced preference pane to make sure the checkbox to copy files into the library during import is checked.
    Click to view full size
    If it is checked you can try the following: make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/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: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • I updated my iPhone to ios6, whilst the update was happening it unplugged from my computer. Is there any way to recover my photos/contacts etc. please?

    Did the restore complete?
    If you backed up the phone to either computer or to the cloud you should be able to retrieve them. If the restore is done, try retrieving info from the iCloud. If the restore did not complete, when you do the restore, at the end you can restore from previous backup.

  • My 5 year old deleted photos from my ipod before I could sync...is there any way to recover the photos?

    My 5 year old daughter was looking at photos and videos that we took while visiting the zoo yesterday.  While looking at the various items, she somehow managed to erase a bunch of photos and videos from the device.  I have not sync my ipod since taking the missing media so I can't use Itunes to get it back.  Is there any way to recover these deleted items?

    Sorry.  They are gone.

  • Ipod was locked and was asked by the computer to make a reset. All programs were erased. Is there any chance to restore?

    Ipod was locked and the computer asked for a reset which I accepted. All programs were erased and I cant see any programs in itunes. Are the programs lost forever or is there a chance to restore?

    Which OS & iTunes versions do you have?

  • Is there any way to recover deleted photos, etc after a sync?  iTunes didn'

    let me say I hate that Apple software tends to give a button to push w/o options or other vital information. It's an example of making things too simple.
    I synced my new iPhone with the older iPhone it replaced - not knowing it would delete everything off the old phone. I'm most wanting my photos back. I've tried downloading 3rd party data-recovery software, but it never seems to find the iPhone like it finds external cards or cameras.
    Please, Please, is there some app that will work to recover deleted photos? And I think I will never trust Apple software again!

    I synced my new iPhone with the older iPhone it replaced - not knowing it would delete everything off the old phone.
    It is not possible to sync one iPhone with another.
    You can transfer the backup for an older or existing iPhone to a new iPhone but doing so does not touch or delete anything off the older or existing iPhone. There is no device limit for the number of iPhones that can be synced with the same iTunes library and iTunes account on the same computer and each iPhone can have its own sync preferences with iTunes. Syncing one iPhone with iTunes does not touch any data on another iPhone.
    Photos in the iPhone's Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. Photos in the Camera Roll are not touched during the iTunes sync process except for being included with the iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. The only way to delete all photos from the iPhone's Camera Roll is by using the iPhone's Erase All Content and Settings option, or by restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup. If you restore the iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup, the photos that were in the Camera Roll would be restored along with all other data that is included with the backup.
    Syncing one iPhone with iTunes does not touch any data on another iPhone that is synced with iTunes on the same computer and it is impossible to sync one iPhone direct with another iPhone.

  • Reinstalled OSX, ANY way to recover iPhoto photos?

    I don't know exactly what the chap at the Apple store did (and can't find out as he didn't record any notes) though it effectively reinstalled the whole OS. Brand new, no trace of old files.
    My SOs photos were on there in iPhoto... Is there ANY way I can retrieve them?
    Thanks for any help, hopefully it's not the doghouse for me...

    No back up?
    Only hope at all:

  • I have a ipod touch 5 and when i was loading it up to my computer i chose to restore my last ipod, which had no camera. After all my music was loaded all of my photos i had taken with my ipod had been deleted. Is there any way i could get photos back?

    I have a ipod touch 5 and when i was loading to my computer i chose to restore my data from my last ipod which did not have a camera. Then after all my music was uploaded i noticed that all the pictures i had taken on my new ipod had been deleted. I think it may be because i chose to restore my last ipod which no photos on it. I was wondering if there is any way to restore my lost photos?

    If you backed up the iPod before restoring it then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    Also, if yoo have that backup you can extract the photos by:
    Recover iPhone, iPad or iPod photos from backups with Picturescue
    If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

  • Is there any chance to recover deleted application data ?

    i deleted  application called evernote , and i re install it than i realized the activity log in that application lost ? but i really need to know activity of 7 th june in my computer regarding to that program :/ because that day my friend was in my house and hes used the computer for long time and there was private things in that application and application wasnt logged out

    Since you post in iPhone 4S tag, I guess you deleted application in your iPhone 4S. You may have a try some iPhone data recovery software or similar programs. Many apps claims to be able to recover data from iPhone as long as the deleted data are not erased by new data.

  • Is there any way to recover deleted photos on my iPad mini after a factory restore?

    My daughter forgot her password to her iPad mini and we had to restore it to factory settings. She has never backed up her data to iTunes. Everything I've read says that her photos are lost, but are they really?  I mean, I'm willing to pay a professional to recover them if that is still a possibility.  Please help!!!

    Wow.  Thanks for the valuable insight.

  • Is there any way to recover deleted photos without a backup?

    I have the Iphone 4 and today when I tried to download the new update, Itunes restored my Iphone. My latest backup is from May, so I lost over 300 photos, all of my text messages etc. Is there anyway to get these photos back without having to pay for one of those online softwares?

    Yes dear there is a way please follow the steps
    1. use itunes to create a backup file ( you can try using one that you have saved previously just as a test)
    2 to located the backfile you need to click my computer->c:->users->(select user)->(when you get to this file click ALT on the keyboard and watch the new toolbar open.In the new toolbar click tools->folder options->view and select show hiden files.
    3 now that you see all the files click on AppData->Roaming->Apple computer->MobileSync->Backup
    Here is an example of what i see on my computer as the address path :
    C:\Users\silva\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Select the file that you want to see the deteled images.
    4 (the files in there dont have extentions and therefore you don't know what is a image , in order to change the file extension to find your images follow this step) if you have windows 7 please hold shift key and click on the file name PRIOR To open the file. Holding the shift key click with the right side of the mouse and select open command windown here. Once the command windown opens type ren *. *.jpg
    if you have other windows you must open the file and once inside the file hold shift key and press the right side buttom on the mouse and click open command windown here and do the same as above.
    Now you can view all the IMAGES THAT HAVE BEEN DELETED OR NOT> ALL THE IMAGES THAT WERE EVER TAKEN WITH IPHONE.
    please email me at [email protected] with questions.
