How can I recover photos?

Is there a way to recover photos that have been backed up in iphoto using Time Machine on another Mac? We had our laptop stolen and I would like to recover the photos from the Time machine backup used for the laptop.

If the iPhoto is a version that is compatible with Time Machine, and you are able to directly read the Time Machine backup, you can use Time Machine to restore it. Look for user tips on Time Machine to do that.
If it is not, you can manually navigate looking for the Pictures folder on your backup, and finding the ones with the most content. Copying each Pictures folder to a new folder giving each a new name before copying it over will allow you to select each and see which has the largest collection of photos, and to rebuild the library from that one. To rebuild the iPhoto library, hold the command and option key upon launching iPhoto. It will let you select the Pictures folder of your choice. Once you have rebuilt the library, import the rest of the photos. Some meta data may need to be restored manually for those photos you deleted from a prior backup that you wish to keep.

How can I recover photos from old iphone icloud backup to new one?

Hello, I had an iPhone 4 which I lost and inside there were some great photos that I want now to recover. In the meanwhile I bought an iPhone5S and I just realized that inside the iCloud backup menu is saying that there is a backup of 3GB of my old iPhone. How can I see if in that backup the photos are there? I have connected my iPhoto App to iCloud but it only finds photos from my new iPhone and not the old one...
Thanks for your time.

Hi, Tiago, maybe you can get help from data recovery software. Now things get easy now.
As far as I know, there are three ways to recover deleted contacts and photos from iPhone 5 with iPhone Data Recovery.
Way 1: Recover deleted photos from iPhone directly
Way 2: Using iTunes Backup to recover deleted photos
Way 3: Using iCloud Backup to recover deleted photos
You can refer the way 3 of how to recover deleted photos from iPhone to recover photos from old iPhone iCloud backup.
Good luck to you.

How can I recover photos that were deleted accidentally?

I am using iPhoto 6.0.6
I accidentally deleted a folder of photos in iPhoto and then emptied the trash from within the program. Is there any way to recover these files? I have not emptied the trash from finder, but I have closed iPhoto.
Is there any possible way to recover these files, either using an option from within OS X or a 3rd party solution?

Don't you have a backup of your library you can recover those photos from? The Finder trash is not connected to iPhoto's trash bin. If you emptied iPhoto's trash then the photos have been deleted from the hard drive. You can run the of SubrosaSoft FileSalvage in it's demo mode to see if it can find and recover those photos before you purchase it. Others have had success in recovering photos as long as there hasn't been a lot of new files added to the HD that might overwrite those files.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

How can I recover photos that have become corrupt

Hi guys, having some trouble with old photos on my pc (windows 7), any help would be much appreciated.
I have some old holiday photos on my pc in a specific folder . I had downloaded a password protection application and had set it up so that i had to use a password to access just that specific folder. I stupidly deleted this password application without
having "un-linked" it from this folder.
This allowed me to access this folder with the pictures in it without the password, however i am no longer able to view any of the photos. They have all changed from a 'JPEG' to a couple of the following types of files : 'TI File', ')4( File',
')(EFile' 'ZUR_ELPRRC_ File', 'DME File'.
I cannot open any of these files with any type of application on my pc (I think). It will not let me preview in windows photo viewer and states that the file "cannot open because its either deleted , or its in a location that isnt available".
I also cannot delete the files as it states that the file' is no longer in the specific location, and to verify its location and try again".
I have also right clicked on the files and selected restore previous versions, which there were none.
If I try open the file with a windows picture view it states that the' file is not found'.
Any idea on how i may be able to recover these files? Any help will be much appreciated!:)
Thanks Heaps

When you password-protected these folders then you did so to prevent anyone from accessing the pictures unless he had the correct password, even if he deleted the password application itself. Are you now asking how to get around this protection? If you
selected a robust protection scheme then you probably got what you wanted: uncrackable encryption. You need to check the FAQs of this application and/or google for clues. Alternatively you could restore your files from your external backup medium (if you have
one . . .).

How can i recover photo files?

A while ago I attempted to update some applications on my Macbook all at once, and at the end of the process something went wrong with IPhoto and I ended up loosing all the files. The thumbnails are still in IPhoto but when I double click to make them large they come up as a black exclamation point. They show that they have a file source but I can never find them. I was able to "recover" one once but I could only do it one photo at a time. Wondering if anyone knows of a way to somehow recover them, or if I should just delete the thumbnails as to make room.

This problem is entirely due to this:
the drive is formatted in NTFS
iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, saving edits and sharing the photos.
Do you get any error messages when you try and copy the file back to your Mac?
Do you have a back up?

How can I recover photos from iPad to my Mac?

Hi! Have myself in a bit of a situation and I'm hoping there's an easy answer that I haven't found yet.
Last night, my external drive that I kept my media on died. No problem, right? I use Time Machine like a good boy...
...and then I see that TM excludes external drives automatically from backup. Oh heck. I can't believe I missed that. No backups of my years of media files.
So, that's not a problem with my music, redownloading everything using iTunes Match. All my photos are synced over to my iPad, and I figure, I'll resync them with iPhoto.
Not working. It'll show the last batch of photos I hadn't synced yet from my iPad, but that's it. It's like it thinks the old photos are still in the library, even though I just created the library file from scratch. (The original library file was lost.)
Is there a way I can get back my photos/albums/events back from my iPad and into iPhoto? I've backed up my photos from iCloud - is the solution there? or am I hopelessly screwed?
Thanks!

That will be difficult. Your iCloud backup of the iPad will only include the photos in the Camera roll of your iPad, and you can only use it to restore the Camera Roll.
See: iCloud: Backup and restore overview
The albums, that you synced from your Mac to your iPad cannot be synced back - that is one-way, see: iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
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:
Since you can only import back from the Camera Roll, you need to share the synced photos to the camera roll or email them. Or shre them to a shared photo stream to yourself, if your system supports shared photo streams.
You can connect your iPad to your mac using USB and download everything that is in the camera roll to iPhoto or Image Capture.
What is your MacOS X version on your mac? And the IOS version on your iPad? Can you use shared Photo Streams?

TS1314 how can i recover photo from itune iPhone chace

yesterday when i sync iphone 3gs all of my photo delete from phone . all my importent photo . i want to back all my photo. i go through iphone photo chace but cant see anithing except file name.

Syncing does not delete pictures on the device. Only a restore from a backup or new, or the user deleting the pictures would delete them.
The only way to recover those pictures would be to restore from a backup created after the pictures were taken but before they were removed.
If PhotoStream was turned on, the pictures should still be accessible there.

How can I recover Photos, Notes and Calendar folders?

I have a brand new iPod and have apparently deleted the folders for Photos, Notes and Calendar so I can't sync these items up. (The folders don't appear anymore in iTunes or in Finder). Is there any way I can get those folders back or download them from somewhere?

In the Finder, open the iPod's icon on the desktop, and choose New Folder from the File menu; create and name new folders until you've recreated all of them.

HT4858 My iphone5 was stolen (second time) :( How can I recover my photos and videos on icloud? Last time they did not all come back

My iphone5 was stolen (second time) How can I recover my photos and videos on icloud? Last time they did not all come back. Specifically I need photos I took 1 day before it was stolen.

If they are in photo stream and your computer meets the minimum system requirements (OS X 10.7.2 or higher and iPhoto '11 9.4 or later or Aperture 3.4 or later; or Vista SP2 or later if you have a PC), set up iCloud on your computer and enable photo stream, as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/. You'll get any photo stream photos from the last 30 days.
Camera roll photos are stored in your iCloud backup, and can only be recovered by restoring the entire backup to another iPhone or iPod Touch that is running the same or higher version of iOS as the phone you backed up.
