HELP please, need to recover lost photo.

Recently uploaded a group of pictures from my camera, deleted the originals from my camera after uploading them. When reviewing them I was looking at a really great family photo that I took, only one like it. And of course instead of pressing escape to get out of the full screen mode, I pressed delete and the picture seems to be gone for good. I tried using a recovery program that recovers deleted photos from your cameras memory card. It recovered a lot of deleted photos, but none of them from the batch I recently took and uploaded. Is there anyway I can get it back? It didn't go to my Trash.

Look in the iPhoto trash (on the left near the top of the source pane under "recent")
Unless you have emptied the iPhoto trash since you deleted your family photo all of your deleted photos will be there

Help! Need to recover lost hard drive data after creating a partition!

So, I'm the world's biggest idiot, and I was trying to reformat my hard drive so that I could bring the documents from my Mac to my PC.
All of the docs were perfectly organized in folders and subfolders a long time ago, and once that had been done, I deleted everything off of the MacBook itself. I never thought I'd have to move all of the docs to a PC, but alas, nothing ever goes the way we plan now does it?
Anyways, I created a FAT 32 partition not realizing it would delete everything I already had on the hard drive, so now I need to recover all of that.
Is there ANY way that I can recover all the data I lost?
Pls respond.

When you create a partition, the partition is the erased so all content is lost. There are data recovery services that may be able to recover the material, but they are very, very expensive, if they can even succeed with this kind of erasure.
Check and see if there are any hard drive data recovery services in your area.

Help needed to recover lost photos, please!

Please help! All 49,537 photos in our iPhoto library have suddenly disappeared. A hopeful fact is that the 512 gigs they recently filled has not reappeared on Finder as available space. Might someone out there in the ether be able to help? Please?

If your profile is correct about the library and system versions 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 3.8.6 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.

HELP! Can I recover lost photos?

I seem to have lost nearly 6 months worth of photos from my Library. My photos are stored on a separate internal drive and are backed up to a removable external drive. I think that I backed up the Library from the external to the internal instead of the other way around. Is there any way to recover the files that were deleted? Is there a "backup' or older "Library" version hidden somewhere on my computer that I could reload from?

A deep slow scan using a data recovery app is your best bet. VirtualLab is great because it will let you perform the scan to determine what it can recover before you buy:
http://www.binarybiz.com/vlab/mac.html
There are other similar apps out there. The very best ones are in the gov sector and can't be used by civilians.
Keep in mind, that with data recovery, your file names may be lost - yet the files may be recoverable. So if your looking for specific file names - you may not see them. This doesn't mean the data can't be recovered. Focus on the file types only.
Also, this stuff takes a very long time. You will probably need to let it scan overnight.
Good Luck.

How do I recover lost photos in iPhoto?

How do I recover lost photos in iPhoto? Instead of photos I have dotted borders or, in a few cases white boxes.

You could try rebuilding the database ...
Launch iPhoto while holding down the Command + Option keys.
The Photo Library First Aid window should open.
Select: Repair Database
Click: Repair
If that doesn't help, open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch iPhoto.
If that doesn't help, copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch iPhoto.
If you do not currently have a wawy to backup your iPhoto library, you need to do that so that you can recover your photos in the event of a hard drive problem.

How do I remove recovered photos (used photorec to recover lost photos) to have more space in my macbook pro HD?

How do I remove recovered photos (used photorec to recover lost photos) to have more space in my macbook pro HD?

Hello there, Shrid.
The following Knowledge Base article reviews how to Sync photos:
iTunes: Syncing photos
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
You will just sync to the new computer. Keep in mind:
Additional Information
Syncing photos with your device will create an iPod photo cache.
Syncing photos can only happen from one computer or user account at a time. Syncing photos with a different computer or user replaces the photos on the device.
You can't reimport pictures synced from your computer to your device back to your computer. You can only import pictures in the Camera Roll or Saved Photos from your device to your computer. If you need to retrieve synced photos from your device:
Email them from the device to yourself.
Copy them from the emails to your computer.
On iPhone and iPod touch using iOS 5 and iOS 6, all synced photos will appear in a unified category called photo library. Photos are not duplicated; this is a way to view all synced albums in one place. You can also tap a specific album beneath photo library to view individual albums.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro D.

How do I recover lost photos?
I downloaded photos from a memory stick onto my desktop and then tried to copy and paste them to iPhoto using COMMAND Z but now have lost them.
Can I recover them now?

Well command-z means 'undo the last thing you did'... so I'd copy them from the memory stick again.
File -> Add to Library will get them into iPhoto.

I lost my iphone and need to recover my photos

I lost my iphone 5c and don't know how to recover my photos from Photo Stream. When I had it I did the backup on the phone every month and now that I'm installing Icloud on my laptop it only shows like 10 pictures but I had many many more!
Also my contacts are not complete, it only shows a few of them!
When I lost it, I selected the option to 'erase my phone' but I have checked everyday and the phone is still offline. Is this affecting?
What do I need to do? I really want to recover my photos
Thank you!

Your backup only includes camera roll photos (and videos), it does not include photo stream photos. Also, photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, allowing sufficient time for your devices/computers to download them. When you set up iCloud on your computer, you can only access photos that were uploaded in the last 30 days, which is why you only see your newest photo stream photos and not the older ones.
You can recover your camera roll photos by restoring the backup to another iPhone (or iPod touch). Be aware, however, that if the backup is an iCloud backup, Apple will delete it after 180 days of inactivity so you'll need to restore it before it's deleted.
Your phone being offline in Find My iPhone doesn't have anything to do with this. It only means that it isn't turned on and connected to the internet. Put it in lost mode if you haven't already done so (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f0165). You might also want to read this: If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen.
Finally, if you don't see all of your contacts on iCloud.com it may be because some of them were being synced from another service such as Google or Yahoo rather than iCloud. If that's the case, you can find them by checking your account there.

Help!! I need to recover my photos on my failed iMac hard disk

I need some help in recovering my photo's on a failed imac hard disk......
The history to this is that I received the cursed flashing folder with a question mark (?) when I tried to boot into my normal OSX Maverck on my imac - I researched this and there was a possibility of a hard disk error.
I booted off the Mac OSX Snow Leopard CD to access Disk Utility to see if I could repair the hard disk - no luck! I couldn't repair it.
I then installed a new version of OSX Snow Leopard on a external hard disk connected to the Imac through the USB - I then upgraded this version of OSX Snow Leopard to OSX Maverick. This allowed me to reboot the Imac off the external version OSX Maverick. I could subsequently see the failed hard disk on File Manager and have access to all the files on the main account. I don't however have access to other accounts (my wife's) where I store my photo's as there is a folder with a red minus sign denying me permission - I tried to change permission on these accounts but when I right click on the folder and select "Get Info" the permissions tab is greyed out denying me the ability to change permissions.
How do I change permissions on the failed hard disk from my external copy of OSX Maverick? How do I get access to those files so I can receover the photo's?
My ulitmate goal is to recover all the information on the failed hard dsik so that I can reformat the hard disk.
By the way, I tried recovering the photo's using Time Machine but the last history I have is December 2011 which is 2.5 years out of date - something must have gone wrong! I don't want to receover this and lose the most recent photo's on the failed hard disk. Another question with Time Machine - if I perform a back-up today, will I be able to recover the data after I reformat the hard disk - my worry is that I'll only be able to get back to where I man now which is not being able to access the data on the folders that I don;t have permission on.
I really appreciate the groups assistance.

I can think of several ways to get the files off.
One is to create a root (super user account) user whcih will have access to everything. Another thing is to duplicate the other accounts that were on the failed drive on the new one and then log in as that user and move them over.
A link to create the root user is here:

When I used time machine to recover lost photos, iPhoto lost my recent photos.

Yesterday, I noticed that iPhoto was missing all the photos from one event that was actually a number of events that I had merged together fairly recently. I used time machine from an external drive to recover them, but when I restored the photo library from time machine, instead of having that photo library in addition to the one I had before, the archived version replaced the current photos, so that any photos more recent than the event I was trying to recover have gone missing. I tried to use time machine again to recover the photos that I lost while recovering other photos, but now it seems that all of the photo libraries that would be recent enough to have the photos I'm looking for now match the version of the photo library with the most recent events deleted. When I tried to bring the more recent photos back using time machine, I opened the photo library and iPhoto said it detected inconsistensies in my libraries and that it would merge and correct them, but after it did so, the library was still missing my most recent photos. Is there any way to recover these photos? I uploaded them before I connected to the backup drive, but I think they should be stored in the time machine backups that are directly on my computer, I just can't figure out how to get to them.

1. You need to read up on TM and post detailed TM questions in the TM forum
2. When you restore a file (or folder) you either restore to a new location or overwrite the existing file. You make that choice when you restore
3. Not sure what error message you saw but iPhoto does not have any capability to "merge" photos or libraries
4. I am not even clear on what you have. Your post rambles a lot. Are you running TM with default settings. Is it always running and is the TM backup volume always connected?

How to recover lost photos from my mac book pro

I had photos saved on my harddrvie under Pictures folder.
I think they were deleted by mistake and i don't know when but sure more than two months if that matters.
please help i need them. client's work.

TimeMachine is automatic
Anytimevyou attach an external drive it either adds to list to backup r asks to use fr backup
Any operating system has some file and system backup mechanism
And Yu job s to buy and keep two or more backup sets, especially when business or there are involved
Consider cloud backup, I think Apple iCloud is not suitable there are others that will backup photos and affordable
This forum is not the one devoted to the laptop serves like MacBook Pro (Mac Pro is desktop tower workstations)

HELP - I need to recover some videos deleted from iPhone 4

Can someone please recommend me a FREE software which will allow me to recover deleted date.
It needs to be Mac compatible.
Even if it's a FREE trial software which will let me recover 1 file 1 by 1 that's fine too as I only need to recover about 4 5 files.
Thanks.
