HELP!!!Can I restore back my photos and documents after I did factory restore setting? [never back up before]

Just wonder, I have tried to do that for my mac pro. [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtUw-vo606w] , once I have reinstall the mac lion, the laptop will be just as the same day when i first purchased it right? Will i be able to restore back my photos ? Please note that, i never back up my photos before.

Yes if you erase/wipe, re-partition the drive before you do a reinstall of OS X Lion all data on your drive will be removed and replaced with just the operatiing system and the standard programs that come with OS X, Mail, Contacts, Safari, iTunes and the like. The iLife Apps, "i" Photo, Movie and Garage Band will not. Those Apps need to be downloaded from the Mac App Store and installed.
All other programs you have bought and installed will need to be reinstalled from either the CD/DVD disc or from downloads from the internet website you bought them from.
Backing up all your music and photos depends on what programs you are using and whether you saved them outside the Apple Apps iPhoto and iTunes database structure.

In mail, my attachments, both photos and documents appear in the body of the message. How can I get my attachments to appear as a separate attachment and not as part of the message. Thanks for your help, Karen.

Yep! And if you absolutely need (or think you need) that functionality, it is worth every penny.
As Don already pointed out, exactly what the recipient sees will depend on how they've set up their machine and what unnecessary 3rd party apps they might've installed to display attachments the way they want.
In theory, that is true. In practice, Attachment Tamer will cause more of your messages to show up as plain-jane icons on the other end. The problem is, after all, people running Outlook 2003 and 2007. These people likely aren't doing many system modifications.
If I were you, I'd use the free solutions provided above, save my money and let my recipients decide how they will handle their mail.
I completely agree.

Connect your iPhone to your computer. Tp your pc should recognize your iPhone as a camera. Use what ever application you have on the pc to transfer files from a camera to your computer.

How can I retrieve my photos and videos after pressing 'delete from everywhere' accidentally on my iPhone 4s?

Hello all,
So I was organising my photos and videos on my iPhone 4s and wanted to delete them from my camera roll once I had moved them to new folders. When I tried to delete them from my camera roll it asked if I wanted to 'delete from everywhere'. Not knowing what this button did I pressed it and have now lost all the copies of those photos and videos I had taken!!!
Is there any way of retrieving them off of my iPhone? Is there like a recycle bin type folder where all the deleted data has gone to from where I can recover it?
Hope someone can help.
Thank you

Your backup contains photos and videos from the camera roll, if you did not sync after that, use the latest backup to restore from: iTunes: About iOS backups and Backing Up, updating, and restoring your iPhone and iPod touch software

If you want an online backup - useful if the house burns down - you will need a third-party service. This page examines some options:
http://rfwilmut.net/missing3
However you should not rely only on an online service - Pvonk's suggestion is well worth following up - hard disks aren't all that expensive these days and once set up Time Machine backs up quietly in the background, including keeping older versions of items you have updated.

How can I start anew with Photos and clear the (minimal) stuff it has uploaded

I've about had it up to here with this new Photos scheme. I reorganised my Aperture libraries on both my iMac and MBA in preparation for this, delayed turning Photos on for a couple of days until I thought everything was ready based upon the limited advice that was out there, and then got stuck in an endless loop of "uploading" and "preparing" every time I opened Photos. There are 19,975 images in my Aperture library on the iMac. I was stuck at Uploading at anywhere between that number and 19,000 with no progress after hours of waiting. I tried all the tricks mentioned here including re booting, restarting the app, repairing/rebuilding the database, killing the "cloudd" process, etc.today Today when I restarted Photos, it now said I had 23,775 images to upload- 4000
more than I have-and of course it got stuck there, like it has for the last week.
I copied the previous Aperture library (pre Photos migration)back to my iMac and opened it in Aperture. Thankfully, all the photos I had taken on my iPhone this week during this Photos clusterphuck transition were in the Aperture Stream so I didn't lose any of those. I'm willing to give this whole thing one more shot. So i need some advice. How can I start anew with Photos and clear the (minimal) stuff it has uploaded (about 6000 of 19,000 images in the last 7 days) ? If I simply delete the Photos.photolibrary file will that do the trick and lt me start a new fresh library using?

It is hard to say from your post, why the migration did not succeed in your case.
by "stuck on upload" do you mean, you opened the Aperture library in Photos, and Photos converted it to a Photo Library, and then the upload to iCloud Photo Library did hang? Or did already the upgrade to the Photo Library fail?
If you want the Aperture library to upload to iCloud Photo Library, it needs to be on a disk formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled) and the original image files must not be referenced. Referenced originals will not upload.
Also, the upload may hang, if you do not have enough free iCloud storage, orr if one of the videos or photos in your library is in an unsupported format or corrupted.
To start over, try to repair and rebuild the Aperture library before opening it in Photos. Try all Aperture Library First Aid options - starting with repairing the permissions. (Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual)
If I simply delete the Photos.photolibrary file will that do the trick and lt me start a new fresh library using?
You will have to delete the photos that are already in icloud too; otherwise you are risking duplicates.
Can you launch Photos at all? If yes, delete all photos in Photos and empty the Recently Deleted album. Wait for the deletion to sync to iCloud. Then delete the Photos.photolibrary.

Can I select all flagged photos and move to a flash drive

Can I select all flagged photos and move to Flash Drive as a group rather than drag and drop one pic at a time?

Hi David,
One way you can do it is to create a Smart Album, and make the conditions = Photo Is Flagged. That will put all of your flagged photos into a single album. Then you can export that Album to the Flash Drive via File>Export. Once you set up the Export the way you want it, and then click on "Export" it will bring up your Finder Window, allowing you to select the Flash Drive to export to.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,

Yeah, Siri - a headline feature on the iPhone 4s page - is beta at the mo.
But then anyone who's used Macs for a few years will know that most new software is pretty much still in beta when it's released anyway. Only Apple could get away with it and retain customers

HT4889 How can I transfer my iPhoto photos and iTunes library to my new iMac?

How can I transfer my iPhoto photos and iTunes library to my new iMac?

If the Migration Assistant won't do it, move them over as you would any other folder; they're located in the Pictures and Music folders of your home folder by default. The iPhoto library needs to be transferred via a drive, partition, or disk image formatted as Mac OS Extended or through an AFP network share.

Yes you can. In iPhoto create a Album with the photos you want in it. You can drag them from your Events folder. In iTunes with your iPad connected go to Photos by cliking on your iPad. You can then select the album or events you want.

My wife has a separate User Login. How can she access photos and documents on my User Account?

What do I need to do under my wife's user login so she can have access to photos and documents on my user account?

Move the data you want to share to the hard drive level Users/Shared folder and she will be able to access them. You may have to do a Get Info (command - I) on the folder and add her with read/write permissions, then select the gear at the bottom and Apply to enclosed items.

Have you tried swiping up or down on the screen in the photos app? When you swipe up or down, that cycles through the Photo, Video and Square modes in the app. The current mode appears in yellow type.
The screen on the iPad in photos App is going to look different that what you see if you click on the link that was posted for you above - that link shows what the screen will look like on the iPhone, but they are similar.
