How can I recover deleted iPhoto photos

Hello,
Just a few weeks ago, I noticed my hard drive was nearly to capacity on my imac, so thanks to the boards here, I moved my entire iPhoto library to an external hard drive.  The move was successful, however, recently I was organizing photos in iPhoto (now on external hard drive) and I inadvertently deleted photos from a recent vacation.  The next day I emptied my iPhoto trash can.  Is there any way I can recover these photos?  I have Time Machine but I believe it doesn't work on the external hard drive, does it?  Please help!

According to this link (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4927), "Time Machine canʼt do a full iPhoto Library backup when iPhoto is open. To ensure that Time Machine does a complete backup of your library, periodically quit iPhoto before backing up."

    How can i recover deleted photos from my iphone 5 - help!!
    I have tried many online programs but nothing seems to recover the last 60 photos i accidentally deleted.

    i have i cloud but because my phone memory had been so full lately i believe it wasnt being backed up?
    the last back up noted on my phone is 9 nov 2013 - i deleted the photos just on monday - does this mean i can still recover them somehow?
    they were never imported to a comp but yes the pics were saved on my photo stream buti acutally first deleted off photo stream. what i did was create a folder within my albums then added the 60 photos to the album, then deleted 1 off photo stream to test and it didnt delete from my new folder, then deleted all off photo stream and then i thought i could delete off camera roll, then did that and realised it also deleted off my new folder created - so was left with nothing!
    if you know anyway pls help?

  • How can I recover deleted photos from my camera roll?

    How can I recover deleted photos from my camera roll and my photo stream?
    Please, help me!

    I finally got up with a solution.
    All you need is the photo file from your last backup.
    You can extract this file from your backup by using iBackupbot for itunes. Get this via:
    http://www.icopybot.com/itunes-backup-manager.htm
    Once you get this file you extract the photos in form of original database file. The screenshots on the website will help you to know how to extract the files.
    Okay so now when you've got the photo file you simply need to SSH into your phone to /private/var/mobile/Library/photo were you'll already see a photo file.
    Replace the old photo file that you've extracted from the backup by the one that already exist in.
    Don't forget to keep an extra copy of the new photo file if in case you go wrong somewhere.
    It worked for me and I hope it works for you too.
    Thanks mende1, you were indirectly helpful.

    You cannot, unless they were there at last backup.  You can try restoring from backup, losing anything done since the last sync.

    Well, you might still have chances to recover the deleted iPhone photos. Not from iPhone or iTunes, just from your Mac machine. It just depends on when your deletion happens, before or after your most recent sync? If this happened after that, then probably you could rely on this data recovery program to get the lost photos back. Regards.
    If she backed up after the photos were sent, then try restoring from backup. Make sure that you turn off automatic syncing first before you connect. Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says Prevent iPod touch.

  • How can I recover deleted pictures from the iphone? I accidentally honeymoon pictures, is there some sort of recycle bin feature?

    How  can I recover deleted pictures? is there a recycle bin with iphone 4?

    No recycle bin. When selecting Delete for a photo in the Camera Roll, a big red Delete Photo button is provided along with Cancel. Selecting Delete Photos means deleted.
    Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. The Camera Roll is also included with your iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. If you synced your iPhone with iTunes since the photos were captured by your iPhone and you haven't synced your iPhone with iTunes again since the photos were deleted, you can try restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup.
    If you have an iCloud account, you have the option to update your iPhone's backup wirelessly which is automatic when your iPhone is connected to a power source while connected to an available wi-fi network. With an iCloud account, you also have the Photo Stream option. All photos captured by your iPhone are placed in your iCloud Photo Stream. Deleting a photo from your iPhone's Camera Roll does not delete the photo from your Photo Stream.

  • How can I easily delete duplicate photos- it appears several events have duplicate photos

    how can I easily delete duplicate photos from events- it appears several events are dupicated

    I am responding to your reply to davidfrommonterey (Jul9,2011).  To quote: "If these are seen in iPhoto it would be good to figure out how they got there since it is typical that iPhoto will not import duplicates.

    Duplicate annihilator is a good tool for finding duplicates - http://www.brattoo.com/propaganda/
    If you are seeing them in the finder then don't - you should never go into the iPhoto library using the finder
    LN
    I have a similar problem.  My point is my photos are not importing as duplicates, they are  duplicating and moving  from one album to another, sometimes bumping the contents of said  folder to another location.  I cannot find a logical explanation.  I tried the trial version of Duplicate Annihilator, but that was a bust since it could locate only five (5) dups.  Any suggestions?          BRENDA Sfrom Charleston

    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.

  • How can i recover deleted yahoo email? its also deleted in trash?

    how can i recover deleted yahoo email? its also deleted in trash?

    I presume since you posted here that you have a TC running backups with Time Machine???
    Otherwise no I doubt you can recover it. Once deleted from trash it is likely overwritten on the disk if you used it at all.
    Look at recovery of particular emails here.
    Edit this is apple mail.. I have no idea what client you are talking about for yahoo mail.. if it is web mail and trashed.. and not in a trash box then it is likely gone. It depends on settings on the local computer.. if you are downloading mail or simply using it via the yahoo mail page..
    I would recommend you contact yahoo or google for their mail server info and how to recover. Assuming you are using web mail.. as there is actually nothing locally you can do to recover it.

    Look down for the particular info about mail.
