Help!! Photos have been deleted!! Any temp 'trash' folders hiding anywhere?

Hi. Just attached my iphone to my computer and its deleted all my photos (over 1000!) and my telephone contacts/texts. Is there any way I can get these back? Not so worried about the contacts but am devastated over the photos. Is there a type of temporary 'trash' folder anywhere? The reason i attached the iphone was to save the photos to my hard drive and USB pen. Have tried to restore a back up but has given me nothing. I'd be extremely grateful for any help anyone can give me - even if its to confirm that I can't do anything about it - at least then I can grab a beer to drown my sorrows! Many thanks in anticipation...

Were the pics on you computer and you were sending from computer to phone?
Or on the phone and you were sending from phone to computer?
Windows XP opens camera and scanner wizard when phone is plugged in (default)and saves pictures to my pictures>20100919(date of download)
Look in my pictures and see if you have a folder named the date you plugged in the phone, the pics should be in there.
Windows normally leaves the photos in the phone's camera roll unless you open camera and scanner wizard and check the box to delete photos.
But sometimes stuff happens we don't anticipate.

Photos that have been deleted to aperture trash cannot be viewed. Any assistance is welcome in fixing this bug. The showing all files option is selected in the filter. System is 10.8.4, aperture version 3.4.5

Photos that have been deleted to aperture trash cannot be viewed. Any assistance is welcome in fixing this bug. The showing all files option is selected in the filter. System is 10.8.4. Aperture version 3.4.5. Used to be able to view the files then all of a sudden they have stop appearing. Once the aperture trash is emptied the files can be viewed in the system trash. Becomes quite annoying if you want to review the aperture trash files before deletion.

Cookiemonster, previously Frank Caggiano's magic helped in this situation - have you tried the double, double Caggiano as described here?

In the most recent version I cannot get this trick to work, however. But try it anyway, maybe it is just my macthat has an issue.
Did this happen directly after the update? Where is your library located, on an external or an internal drive? Are your originals managed or referenced?
I'd try next to check, if this is caused by the library, by creating a small test library and trying to trash pictures there. If it works well in a new library try to repair the database and the permissions on your regular library. See:

P.S -I have not taken any backup of those photos. So please suggest any software or any other method.

If those photos were part of the camera roll, they were part of the backup as well and you can restore from the latest backup you made on the old computer. After that transfer the photos to the new PC, follow this article: iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
Then sync again to the new one, which will erase the phone again.
You can also try to copy the backup folder from the old computer to the new one and see if the old backups get recognized, check this article to find the location on your PC:
Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes
If the photos were not taken with the phone, your data is gone, photos you sync from iTunes to the phone are not included in the backup.

Been using g iPhone 6 for few months, just backed up my iPhone 5, restored my pics etc onto 6 but all original photos have been deleted?

If you are backing up to your computer, check in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, if there is more than your recent iPhone 6 backup listed. If yes, transfer the photos from your phone to the computer first, then restore from the backup. After that, transfer the recovered photos again to your computer and sync all of the transferred pictures to your phone, using iTunes and the settings in the photo pane.

I want to ask about deleting files that have been deleted in the trash but I want to remove it permanently from the trash can not, indeed I delete files that are partly contained in the application file. I want to delete files that are also quite a lot by 5 Gyga, I've tried to remove it from the normal trash remains are not removed. How should I do?

Help! Photos have been deleted!!

I'm panicking because I think I've deleted my vacation photos & videos from my new iPhone 5S. I used it to take the photos before I set it up. Then I synced it to my existing iPhone profile on my Macbook (which was from my old iPhone 4S) without importing the photos first. And now the vacation photos have disappeared from my iPhone 5S and instead all the photos from my old iPhone 4S are on my new iPhone 5S. Please please please help me! These were photos & videos of my recent vacation with my little daughter and they are irreplaceable.

IPhoto disk space full - but all photos have been deleted

Several days ago I transferred all photos/videos from iPhoto to an external hard drive. I deleted everything in iPhoto, emptied the iPhoto trash.
However, when I attempt to store a photo in the "empty" iPhoto, this message comes up:
"The disk containing your iPhoto library is running low on space."
I've explored the issue via Google and the Apple communities, and the only possible factor could have been that there were photos stored in my iPhone cache. Tracked it down, but nope - it is empty.
Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash
These are *exactly* the issues I was having, and which prompted me to move files over to an EHD. Watching the little colored wheel spin was agonizing...
The iPhoto Library will be in your Pictures Folder. Drag that to the trash and empty it.
Found it! Mac is now in the process of deleting 4,182 photos.
You've been very helpful - I've learned things that will help me down the road.
Many, many thanks.

I have adobe 3:2 starter and all photos have been deleted but still have thumbnails, can i restore photos

please can some one help me to restore my photos from my thumbnails due to my son deleting my photo file where i used to keep them

Boy, I wish Adobe had a special OOPS! folder for all of us who accidentally deleted photos. I lost 5 photos. I deleted them from Adobe after I moved them to their own special folder in My Documents, but they're not there. I've been trying to recover them for the past few days using data recovery programs like iUndelete and iRescue, but no luck.
Is Photo Well the same thing as thumbnails? I've read where some people who have lost their photos still are able to view them as thumbnails, but if it's the same thing as Photo Well, mine don't show up there, either. I can't remember if I chose "delete from hard disk" but I must have, because I've searched my computer and can't find them.
QUESTION: By any chance are deleted photos assigned a different name than the original photos? Maybe I've been searching for the wrong files all along???? Ugh, I'm about to give up, but does anyone know anywhere else I can look? I've already emptied my Recycle Bin. Thanks for any help anyone can give.

HT5885 My iphoto app on my macbook pro failed now all photos have been deleted

My iphoto app on my macbook pro failed and read that it "needed to re-build" I let it do so, and mid way "re-building" it failed and all of my photos vanished. They are not in any other files, but seems like they are completely deleted can anyone help me.

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what makes you think they are deleted?
what do you see when iPhoto opens?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

All of my photos have been deleted off of iPhoto

I have lost all of my photos on iphoto

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Iphoto crashed after "successful import" but during the "finishing import" stage - i had selected to delete the imported photos on my phone...iphoto crashed after 90% of the photos had been deleted. Now i can't see any of the photos on iphoto

Hi guys, I was importing about 5000 photos from my phone onto my computer. it said the import was successful but did i want to delete or keep the photos on the original device. I opted to delete photos. The photos started to count down as they deleted and the computer said "finishing import". Once it had deleted down to about 600 photos iphoto simply disappeared, and a message popped up to say it had crashed. I opted to reopen iphoto and saw that not one of the photos had imported! Not only that but now all the photos have been deleted from my phone. I'm really upset if i've lost the last year of photos/ videos....does anyone know what has happened/ if i can recover them?
thanks so much in advance x

Not sure where you got those ideas - simply import your photos and keep the rather than deleting - then after a successful import and at least one back up cycle you can format the card if you want or you can do what I do and keep the photos moving to a new card when that one is full giving you yet another backup - if problems occurs then trouble shoot them - no need to trouble shoot if there is no problem
ad personally I find removing the card and plugging it into my card reader is faster and easier than finding the USB cable and hooking it up, turning on the camera, verifying that tty e battery is charged, etc - and it eliminates a point of failure in the USB cable and the chance of the camera battery running out - but that is clearly a personal choice
You are overthinking this - it is simple
a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card -- I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos

Generally when you get the resource in use error logging out or rebooting will take care of it. When a file just absolutely refuses to delete try restarting in Safe Mode (hold the left shift key after the computer restarts) and then empty the trash.

RANDOM FILES HAVE BEEN PUT IN MY TRASH, PLEASE HELP

Performance tip: Keep the Desktop clutter-free (empty, if possible)
Mac OS X's Desktop is the de facto location for downloaded files, and for many users, in-progress works that will either be organized later or deleted altogether. The desktop can also be gluttonous, however, becoming a catch-all for files that linger indefinitely.
Unfortunately - aside from the effect of disarray it creates - keeping dozens or hundreds of files on the Desktop can significantly degrade performance. Not necessarily because the system is sluggish with regard to rendering the icons on the desktop and storing them in memory persistently (which may be true in some cases), but more likely because keeping an excessive number of items on the Desktop can cause the windowserver process to generate reams of logfiles, which obviously draws resources away from other system tasks. Each of your icons on your desktop is stored as a window in the window server, not as an alias. The more you have stored, the more strain it puts on the window server. Check your desktop for unnecessary icons and clear them out.
Keeping as few items as possible on the Desktop can prove a surprisingly effective performance boon. Even creating a single folder on your Desktop and placing all current and future clutter inside, then logging out and back in can provide an immediately noticeable speed boost, particularly for the Finder.
And it is why Apple invented 'Stacks' for Leopard.
Here is Apple's take on the subject:
http://www.apple.com/pro/tips/immaculate_desktop.html
Repairing permissions is important, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
This only takes a minute or two in Tiger, but much longer in Leopard.

An article on troubleshooting Permissions can be found here:

By the way, you can ignore any messages about SUID or ACL file permissions, as explained here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?viewlocale=en_US
If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.
