How do I restore photos from iPhone 5 to iPhoto. I erased all my events in iPhoto by mistake so need to sync them phone upstream to lions 10.7....not even apple support could help?? I plug my phone into iPhoto and it sees the camera roll but none of my event so I can move them back into iPhoto

Your photos are gone.  When you synch your phone with iPhoto, the actual picture file does not synch, rather is is a very small thumbnail file suitable for viewing on the phone, but of such small resolution that it's useless for anything other than viewing on the phone.  In any case, Apple makes no way for you to retrieve these thumbnail file.
If you deleted photos from iPhoto, your only hope is if you have Time Machine or another backup that might have had those photos.  Are they perhaps still in the "Trash" within the iPhoto app?

  • Not even Apple Genius could help

    I have a couple of problems concerning my new itouch, took it into the Apple store on 5th Av yest and the guy spent an hour looking amd was really not helpful.
    Last month I (I am a geek) made sure that all songs in my itunes account had artist art (or whatever it is called) I did this by a) doing the auto update available under advanced tab and b) dragging and repasting from Amazon those covers I did not have. I synched my 30MG ipod and all worked beautifully.
    I buy an itouch. I synched it to my itunes (I was not in a wireless area and did not register it). It was annoying to find that only one or 2 covers were transpoprted intot he itouch and the rest were the grey album coves with the music note (including stuf recently bought from itunes) Also I noticed that hardly any of my purchased material made it onto my ipod.
    I first problem was the art - after about an hour the genius tells me the art files are corrupted - I need to cut them all out - go back to amazon and regrag them in. To his credit on the 2 that we tested this worked but its gonna be a massive bummer - and I dont understand why it works on my old ipod and not the new one.
    1 - does anybody know how to get round this - I was going to restore to factory settings and try again
    2 - He mentioned some other album programme called cover scout or something whcih might be able to help, does anybody know anything about this programme and whether it would be any good
    3 - I am worried about not getting my purchased music onto the ipod - do you think that because i did not register it to the account that I use, it wont pick up the music i have used on that account......
    Has anybody else experienced similar problems, the genius i felt did not have a great grasp of the problem..........

    Ohnj,
    I presume that you are no longer trying to use iCloud for syncing with the "Flat Panel." It will not work since you are using OS X 10.5.8.
    Quit iCal, go to your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars folder and remove any/all files with "Cache" as a part of the file name. Then log out/in or restart and see what happens.

  • How do I transfer photos from iPhone photo library?

    How do I transfer photos from iPhone photo library?
    I had my iPhoto library and Time Machine Backup on an external drive on my Mac Mini - not a clever strategy I know! I recently synced my photo library successfully with my iPhone 5 but now the external drive has died and my most recent backup (on another external drive) is 5 months old. Can anyone advise what is the simplest/quickest method of transferring these photos back from my iPhone photo library whilst ideally maintaining the 'events' folder type structure? Preview doesn't do it as this only allows me to copy photos taken with the iPHone, not the ones in the library.

    Do you have iPhoto on your iPhone?
    Then this should work - use iTunes to sync your iPhoto Library back:

  • HT201250 How do I restore photos from Time Machine?  All of my photos have been imported within iPhoto and therefore are exported to Time Machine via an iPhoto file.  I can't figure out how to break individual photo files out of the iPhoto file.  Any idea

    How do I restore photos from Time Machine?  All of my photos have been imported within iPhoto and therefore are exported to Time Machine via an iPhoto file.  I can't figure out how to break individual photo files out of the iPhoto file.  Any ideas?

    You might post this query on the iPhoto forum and perhaps someone there can provide an answer.
    I tried this on my MBP and it seems that you have to restore the entire iPhoto Library.  What I did was put the current library in a separate folder on the desktop and then I restored the library from a prior date.  If you were to do that, you then could extract the desired photos and then delete the restored library.  Then place the current library back to the original location and import the desired photos.
    Not tidy but it seems it will work.
    Ciao.

  • How can i move photos from iphone to icloud without a computer?

    I keep running out of space on my iphone (4s) because of the number of photos. I have 15 gb of unused icloud storage but can't figure out how to move the photos from iphone to icloud so i free up space on the iphone. I do not have a computer.

    Did you purchase the music from the iTunes store?  If so, you can download it again for free as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.  If the music was from other sources (ripped CDs, etc.) you have to sync your phone with iTunes on a computer to transfer it to your phone.

  • HT201302 how can i import photos from iphone to pc

    how can i import photos from iphone to pc?

    For photos taken with the iPhone or saved from emails/websites then on a PC you should be able to use the Windows Camera Wizard or just copy them via Windows Explorer (there is more info on this page).
    For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPhone, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
