How can I get my photos back, after my computer crashed and now I can only preview them?

Before my computer crashed I had saved my photos on my WD My passport but I think it was only saved like a preview. Once my computer crashed I brought my pictures back to the HD Imac Computer but now I can see them but I can't save, print or export them. Is it possible for me to fix this and if so how?
I appreciate ALL help.
Thank you:)
Here is an example of some:

We need to know more, to be able to understand what you have done.
How did you save your images to the external drive? Did you copy your Aperture library there?
Is your Aperture library referenced or managed - did you store the original image files outside the Aperture library or are they included in your Aperture library? If you have referenced images, did you back them up too?
The error message you are seeing, shows that Aperture cannot find the original image file. That is indicated by the yellow warning badge with the arrow.
If your Aperture library is referenced, you need to restore your backed up original image files as well from their backup, and then use the the command "File > Locate Referenced Files" to reconnect the image versions with the missing original files. Do you have a backup of the originals? If you cannot restore your referenced originals, you can turn your previews into new originals; post back, if you need help with that.
If your Aperture library is managed, and all your originals are included inside your Aperture library, try if the Aperture Library First Aid Tools can fix this:
Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual
Check if the "Masters" folder inside your Aperture Library contains any image files: Crtl-click the Aperture library and use "Show Package Contents". Are the missing original image files inside?

I use " find my iphone" and accidentally locked my iphone then I have to restore it to unlock it.

If you never backed them up, where do you suppose you can restore them from?

How do I get my Purchases back after my computer got wiped, Can I re-download them for free?

How do I get my Purchases back after my computer got wiped, Can I re-download them for free? and how?

You buy one and only one download of music/vids/tv shows/movies. It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your purchases.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

The photos in my IPhoto have all become mini-thumbnails and I can't open or edit them. When I print the image it comes out normal size. How do I get the thumbnails back to the standard size and be able to work with them?

What version of iPhoto and system are you running? On the guess that you're running the latest iPhoto, 9.4.2, Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the thumnails, Option #2.
2 - It may take 2-3 attempts so don't give up after only one attempt.

How do i get my photos back, if I didn't back up my iPhone 5 and now its in recovery mode after updating to iOS 8.0.2?

How do i get my photos back, if I didn't back up my iPhone 5 and now its in recovery mode after updating from iOS 8.0.1 to iOS 8.0.2?

In you case, the only way is to use data recovery app to get back your lost photos, so the chance is uncertain. It depends on how smart the app it's. The good news is that most of the apps allow you to try them out. You can test them out by yourself. The steps are:
Install data recovery app on your computer
connect your iPhone and allow the app scan iphone
display scanning result
choose local folder to store recovered items
You can choose to recover your photos from local disk, iTunes backup or icloud. More details can be found out here.

- If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
- If they are on your computer sync them to your iPod
iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting the photos from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

You're really going to need to explain that. What's "USB"? Do you mean a Disk, Drive or volume connected by USB? How is your iphoto set up? What version are you using?

Can you get your photos back after the iphone does a restore

Actually, wrong.
The tech support people can help with Playbook purchased apps. If you've called and they said they cannot, you were lied to.
Even in the link you posted, in #10, it states clearly "App Refund related matters are handled by BlackBerry Customer Care." That, my friend is accessed by the support number. Again, if you were told otherwise, you should inform them of such or ask for a manage/supervisor.
And, you don't have a "Partner ID" because you are not a "Partner". The section you're referring to applies to mobile providers, which are the Partners.
Good luck.

Can i get my photo back after i restore iphone 5 without back up

can i get my photo back after i restore iphone 5 without back up?

Where was the photo before you did the restore? was it in the Camera Roll? If you had PhotoStream turned on perhaps the photo is still in your PhotoStream.
Have you synced your iPhone lately? Made a backup. Perhaps it is there.
Otherwise it is most likely gone.

I backed up everything to icloud, wiped my phone, synced to that backup, and only some of my photos are there. How do I get those photos back?

I went to apple store and they walked me through this except for the syncing part. I went to sync everything at home and a lot of my photos aren't there. When I scroll all the way down, its just a loading spiral thing.
Also, now I have new stuff, that I don't want to get deleted.
Is there some way to put my icloud pictures on my computer as well?

If the restore process is done, or seems to have stalled, and it didnt' restore your camera roll photos, all you can do is try restoring the backup again. If it's still restoring, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and tap Stop Restoring at the bottom. Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens again and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup and follow the prompts.
Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup. You might want to move it closer to your wifi router for the strongest signal possible.

How do I get my contacts back after they've disappeared? the contacts are still stored in my phone

how do I get my contacts back after they've disappeared? the contacts are still stored in my phone I just can't access them through my address book; only through Siri. I've restored my phone & that didn't work so what should I do?

Re-enter them.
Once they have been deleted from iCloud they are gone from all devices that sync to that iCloud account.

     Hi Frank.
     I have just had jb Atlanta's problem while adjusting the contrast on a photo. I was creating a slideshow at the time. After a lot of reading up I was about to give up when I tried restoring the file to its original settings as you suggested. Bingo!
     However, that would only work for me, if I restored the settings while in the slideshow. All data had 'disappeared' when I attempted to open the photo in its original project folder.
     Hope this is of help. Many thanks.

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 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. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain 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.

I lost my iphone. How do I get my photos back?

The backup of your lost phone will contain camera roll photos (and videos). Restoring this backup to a replacement iPhone (or iPod Touch) will recover them. If your backup is in iCloud, be sure to not wait to long to restore it as Apple will delete iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity.

How do I get my calculator back after installing the new iO7 software?

I'll assume alot here,?but my guess is you installed the new playforsure firmware for the player. If that is the case then you will need the playforsure plug in for the Creative MediaSource Organizer. You can download it on this creative's site under downloads.
