Helpppppppppp!! Iphone Photos disappeared (dumb question to follow)

Hi Guys, I used my Iphone 4 to record a short videoof my little girl. When I tried to play it back the phone froze and then went back to the home screen.
Now everytime I try and and open the camera or photo icons all I get is a white screen saying updating library and it flashes off after 2/3 seconds.
I am most upset as my first nephew was born a week ago and I took the pictures with my Iphone and haven't had a chance to back them up.
Please, please can anyone help? is there any way of restoring them or even just pulling them off in some way to a pc?

Hey! I have tried everything now and nothing seems to work. Been to the Apple store today, they were willing to restore the phone back to original settings - meaning everything would be wiped off. I downloaded some software which showed all my pics but was scared to use it. Itunes showing 9.2Gb but nothing on pc. Any other suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thanks guys

Keyword tags for imported iPhone photos disappeared from LR5.7 catalog under OS 10.10.1Yosemite.

I am using LR 5.7 on a Mac OS 10.10.1 with a Time Machine backup - the vast majority of my photos were taken on an iPhone 5 in the year 2014 and are in a folder on my computer internal hard drive.
The structure is my Folders > Macintosh HD which has a folder inside called
Pictures Users/myname with 1719 photos in it -
when I click on this folder the following folders open up:
> folder dated 1904(?) with 2 items
> folder dated 2012 with 1 item
> folder dated 2013 with 1 item
> folder dated 2014 with 1352 items...
.... and so on until
>Exported Original Photos 365 (which are exports of photos from iPhoto that I wanted to catalog and develop in LR)
The Maths are correct. But as for the tags:
when I open the folder Pictures Users/myname containing 1719 photos and view them as thumbnails I see all the keywording applied to my collection of photos
BUT when I open the folder Pictures - Users/myname and then folder 2014, I see a list:
folder 2014 with 199 items
folder 2014-01-20 with 1 item
folder 2014-01-21 with 5 items
etc
All well and good.
BUT if I open these dated folders with small numbers of images in them (never more than 50 per day), view the images in a grid and click on a photo, there are no keyboard tags to be seen in the information panel. They only time I see any keyword tags that I have entered is when I open Macintosh HD > Pictures - Users/myname which contains my entire library of photos taken in 2014 and those added to the catalog from iPhoto.
Should I see tags for the photos in the individually dated folders e.g. Macintosh HD > Pictures - Users/myname > 2014 > 2014-01-20 and so on day by day ?
I have been tagging my photos with keywords after my weekly import. And have been doing this after viewing each photo from the grid view of photos displayed by clicking on Macintosh HD >Pictures - Users/myname.
Have I made an error?
I want to tag my collection of photos by the correct method before it grows in size.
Many thanks

Hi,
I moused down on the "+" sign where it says Folders and "show photos in subfolders" was shown as already being "on".
I followed your suggestion: I tried to keyword the photo in Macintosh HD/Pictures - Users/myname/folder 2014-01-20 with 1 item however it did not permit me to type in a keyword in the keyboarding section panel on the left hand side, so I was unable to check if it stuck.
I don't know whether this is important or not, but the list of folders, subfolders etc have slightly different arrow heads:
If I drop down the Macintosh HD location there is a SOLID, grey downward pointing arrow to the left hand side of the folder Pictures - Users/myname/..
However, if you drop down folders from Macintosh HD > Pictures - Users/myname/.. to show inner folders:
Macintosh HD> Pictures - Users/myname/... > folders dated 2014-01-20 etc., then there is a horizontal triangle that is made up of grey dots rather than a solid triangle for every dated folder - is this as expected?

I can't see my iPhone photos on my PC after following the iCloud set up instructions.

I've just updated my iPhone 5c to iSO 8.1.2. The iCloud memory has been used. Photosteam has disappeared. I have a folder on my PC for iCloud photos, but no photos in it. Anyone have any ideas what I have done wrong? Many thanks, Becky.

Did you install the latest software?
PC:
Open iCloud for Windows 4.0 (or iCloud Control Panel) and select the checkbox for Photos.
Click the Options button and make sure that My Photo Stream is on and adjust the settings.
Click Apply when you're done.
In Windows, My Photo Stream photos are automatically imported when My Photo Stream is turned on in iCloud for Windows (or iCloud Control Panel).
Did you try to upload photos from the PC side?
PC with iCloud for Windows 4.0 (or iCloud Control Panel 3.1): Open a Windows Explorer window and, under Favorites, select iCloud Photos. Open My Photo Stream. Click the Add photos button. Select the photos to import to My Photo Stream, then click Open.

IPhone Photos disappeared

I shoot A LOT with my iPhone.
Yesterday my iPhone died, after re-charging it i turned it back on. It said "re-building photo library", once it was done. 2 months worth of pictures were gone, including a family vacation album.
really really frustrated and don't know what to do. I tried sync my phone with iTunes, nothing. all the same.
My wallpaper is a recent picture that i took, it still shows up.
any ideas, how to access the files inside my phone? i imagine those files are still there somewhere.
any help is greatly appreciated.
thank you

I lost all of my camera roll when I updated to iOS4.0. Fortunately, there is a way to recover them... It took two days to figure it out, but it was a total lifesaver.
1. The iPhone backup files are located in Users/[Name]/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup. So long as you backed up fairly recently, you are OK! Unfortunately they are in encrypted mySQL format
2. I had backed up since the update, making things harder, but was able to recover my old backup files from Time Machine
3. A utility for reading the backup files can be found at: http://supercrazyawesome.com/ (I don't make any promises about this application, it's not mine. But given what's at stake, I thought it worth the risk...)
4. Recover the iOS Files directory
5. Your photos are in the Media/DCIM folder
Thankfully, I got back all of my last 2 months photos including my son's birthday photos!
I hope this helps.

My iphone photos disappeared after a crash

what can i do to get them back?

the funny thing is i found loads of people with this problem, and they where on vacations and lost they're vacations photos. without the mac, or wireless to backup, what is your solution? cause that's EXACTLY what happened to me. the phone should be good enough for you to not have to rely on every night, before going to bed, backing up. cause sometimes you just can't. so what's you're geek excuse now? is it normal for you to use your mac, it crashes, and then you loose all of those files from that day? are you seriously telling me that that's normal? that you wouldn't be curious/mad about it?. yeah right.

In my itunes tab is images / photo disappeared. . can not get it back, so now I can not get pictures on my iphone??? I do not want to use the photo stream. there are others who have experienced this tab disappears

Make the iTunes window wider.
It is on the far right.

HT1688 Updated to ios 6 and My iphone photos/videos are disappearing.

Updated to ios 6 and My iphone photos/videos are disappearing. Also when i take a photo/video it doesnt show in my camera roll. it show photos from days ago. Does anyone know how to solve this ?

All pics taken with the iphone should be imported to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera, most especially before any update/restore/etc.
If you have failed to do this then they are very likely gone.
You can try restoring from backup.

Iphoto 8.1.2 crashed while deleting photos (7,000) from my iphone and the photos disappeared from iphone and iphoto

First i imported my photos to iphoto 8.1.2 when it finished, asked me if i want to "delete them from the camara" i clicked yes and crashed while deleting photos (7,000) from my iphone and the photos disappeared from iphone and iphoto

No early version of iPhoto can open a Library from a later version.
You can try revert the Library with iPhoto Library Manager

Iphone photo icon disappeared

iphone photo icon disappeared. How to restore?

It's a pre-installed app and therefore cannot be deleted so you may have inadvertently moved it onto a screen or into a folder. Check all screens and folders and do a search in Spotlight, it will tell you if the app it still on your iPhone but unfortunately not where it is. If you find it on one or your screens or in a folder, press the icon until it wiggles and then drag it back to where you want it. Alternatively you can reset your home screen in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

HT4623 i updated my iphone and all the photos disappeared

All my daughters photos disappeared after she updated her phone. She thought she backed up but is not sure and now nothing is on the phone or laptop.

As the manual explains, you should be importing all pics taken with iphone regularly as you would with any digital camera, most especially before any update/restore/etc.
If she failed to do this, then the pics are likely gone.
She can try restoring from backup.

Iphone photo syncing question

I'm trying to sync my photos from my iphone4 to my pc. It syncs everything but the photos. It shows it's syncing the photos, but then shows "0" photos. I cannot find them in any folder on my computer. Any ideas?

I am experiencing this problem too. My Laptop got stolen in a burglary. I now have another Laptop running XP and I have downloaded iTunes. I am now trying to sync my iPhone 4 running IOS 4.3.5 (SL1) and I will then upgrade to the latest IOS version.
I have run the sync which appears to have worked but when I go to the chosen folder on my PC there is a file called iPhone Photo Cache with nothing in it.
Has anyone experienced this? I am now concerned the iPhone has not synchronised and I will loose my data if I upgrade to IOS 5.
Can anyone help?

Thumbnail Photos Disappear

Why are my Z10 thumbnail photos disappearing? This came out of nowhere. Anything I can do to correct the problem?

Hi legacymusic,
If you edit a photo as tahabashir1991suggested does the thumbnail appear?
Another option is to backup the files to a PC using mass storage mode and then try reformatting the media card and restore the files back to the media card after it is reformatted.
How to Enable USB mass storage on the BlackBerry 10 smartphone:
1. From the home screen, swipe down and tap Settings > Storage and Access.
2. Scroll to the bottom and turn on USB Mass Storage
Once Mass storage mode is enabled connect the Blackberry smartphone to a PC and save the files to the PC and reformat the card, How format media card:
1. Go to Settings.
2. Select Storage and Access.
3. Format Media Card.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks.

IPhone photo sharing invitation cannot be made

iPhone photo sharing invitation cannot be made
with iPhone 6, latest iOS

Hey Vivian Su,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are experiencing issues sending iCloud Photo Sharing invitations. The following resource may provide some insight into your issue, along with a potential resolution:
Get help using iCloud Photo Sharing and shared albums - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201077
I sent email invitations to my shared album, but not everyone received one.
Try these steps:
Ask the invitees to check their junk or spam email folders for the invitation.
Send the invitation again. An invitee might not get the message if their mailbox is full, or if there's a filter that prevented the invite from being delivered.
If they didn't get the invitation, ask the invitee for another email address that you can send the invitation to. If you're using iOS 7 or later, you can also send the invitation to the phone number that they use for iMessages.
Ask the invitee if they've ever received an invitation, and if they might have unsubscribed from iCloud Photo Sharing emails. They can use the steps below to get email invitations again.
If they still don't get the invite, contact Apple Support for help.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Two dumba$$ questions

Sorry, I know these are two really stupid questions, but I know nothing at all. I've just bought a new iBook after ahving a really ancient Mac. Both my questions are to do with Garageband...so here goes...
Question 1
What other equipment do I need to be able to record real instruments (string quartet)?
Question 2
I was just having some fun the other night, making up some stuff and trying to familiarize myself with the whole Garageband thing (which I love already).
As I was adding loops I had the sneaking suspicion that some where starting to go missing - why was there an 'Acoustic Noodling' numbers 2, 3, 4 etc but no number 1? Where were 'Asian Gamelan' 3 and 4?
Chose not to save anything I'd done so far and after did a quick search in the Garageband loops search bit, but nothing came up. Went through the installation disk thinking it would put back anything that had gone missing. Still nothing. Did a spotlight search and a few of the items I thought had gone missing were in iTunes.
Maybe they were never in the Garageband loops samples first place? Is this possible? Is there somewhere that lists what loops come with Garageband? I'm starting to doubt my own sanity, especially since I went through the installation disk...
I now have the following samples on my desktop - ones which I thought had gone AWOL:
Acoustic Noodling 1; Asian Gamelan 3 and 4;
Middle Eastern Oud 3 and 4.
I have tried to drag them into the Garageband loops section, but they seem to disappear into the iTunes...I have no idea what's going on...
Apologies in advance for these dumb questions.

For what you need to do your string quartet recording, read HangTime's FAQ to get started:
http://www.thehangtime.com/gb/gbfaq2.html
Contrary to what you might think, you probably don't want to record the four members of the quartet separately on their own tracks, each with a mic close to the instrument. String quartets need to play all the parts together at once, to get the best feel and performance.
You'll probably want to put up a pair of mikes arranged in a stereo pattern, at some distance from the string quartet (a couple of meters at least), in a nice live-sounding room. Mike placement techniques are hard to describe in this kind of forum, but you can find textbooks on the subject with diagrams.
You'll need a matched pair of better-than-average-quality condenser microphones, and an audio-to-computer interface with better-than-average preamps.

Add To iPhoto in Mail fails for iPhone photos sent in multiple emails

Someone takes six photos with an iPhone and emails them to you.
You get 6 emails. Each one has a photo.jpg image attached.
You click the SAVE pop-down menu in the Mail message and choose Save To iPhoto. The photo is imported into iPhoto. You delete that email and do the same thing with the second email with the second photo...
BUT, somewhere the Mail-iPhoto smartness turns dumb, as the rest of the photos will not show up in iPhoto. (This may have something to do with the fact that the iPhone sends each photo with the attachment name of photo.jpg and somehow Mail or iPhoto think that photo has already been added to iPhoto).
I was having this problem with photos emailed to me by iPhone users and tested it myself.
Sure enough, after the first photo.jpg attachment is imported all subsequent Add To iPhoto operations of iPhone sent images fail... even if the photos have been sent from separate iPhones from separate email addresses.
All the attachments are kept by Mail in uniquely numbered folders in the attachments folder of my receiving email account in Library/Mail but since each attachments is named photo.jpg that seems to throw off iPhoto OR Mail (because even the quick progress update of "Adding photo to iPhoto" does not show up on these attempts).
I checked if quitting and restarting Mail fixed allowed the second photo to be added to iPhoto but it did not. Quitting iPhoto after EACH import/Add To iPhoto operation allowed each photo to be added into iPhoto.
This may have to do with the iPhoto bugs handling large libraries (I have 19000 images in it) like the spinning wheel of Names window after imports, etc.
Just sharing if others have the same experience sending 3 iPhone photos by email to themselves and seeing if all can be added to iPhoto from Mail. Thanks.
Imran

Yes it is a bug
Report to apple. iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
You can work around BR saving to the desktop and importing or opening in quick view, expanding to full screen and saving to iPhoto
