You need to restore the iPhoto library from your backup. By default yoour iPhoto Library will be in your "Pictures" folder and called "iPhoto Library.photolibrary" (in iPhoto '11). what is your iPhoto version and your MacOS X version?
What kind of backup do you have?
If it is a Time Machine backup, connect your TimeMachine drive and quit iPhoto.
Select your "Pictures" folder in the Finder, and with this folder the currently open Finder window enter Time Machine.
Then dive into the Time Tunnel and go back in time to the most recent date, when your Photo Book was still complete.
Select the iPhoto Library and press "Restore".
When you open iPhoto again, it should now show again all pages of your book.

I have just returned home from holiday and reset my phone to icloud (having said it wouldn't lose any information) I now find that I appear to have lost all my holiday photos. Has anyone got an idea how to retrieve them?

If you've enabled PhotoStream, you should be able to find photos there. Otherwise, you are SOL.

I have lost nearly all my photos and events. I received a message effectively saying that I need to upgrade from an old base. I think I may have tried to open an event that was stored in iPhoto Buddy a few days ago.

What version of iPhoto?
Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

I have lost my contact and photos after downlaod new ios

i have lost my contact and photo on my iphon 4 after daownload new ios how i c an return back thanks

Downgrading an iOS is not supported by Apple but that would not bring the items back anyway.
What photos are you talking about? If they were synced to the iPod then you will have to get them from the computer from which they were synced. If the photos were taken by or saved to the iPod then they should be in the backup. The same with notes.
One the computr go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and look at the da and time of the iPod backup. If it corresponds to before the update was performed or at the beginning of the update then the itmes should be in the backup. Restore theiPod from backup. Make sure thatyou have auto syning turned off other wise when ou connect the iPod to the computer iTunes will backup the iPod which does not have the items and delete the old backup. To turn off, go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that say Prevent iPods.... syncing.

IPhoto is changing the sequence of the photos I have in my file for the book I want to create. Help?

iPhoto is changing the sequence of the photos I have in my file for the book I want to create. Help?

The problem has been solved. As it turns out, I was highlighting the photos in the album I wished to create. And then generating the request for a book. This caused the photo images when loaded into the book format to revert to the sequence used when I originally loaded them into the album. Not the edited sequence. Turns out that I did not need to highlight the photos. By eliminating this step, they remained in the edited sequence.
Thank you for responding. Warmly, Janice huseby

HOW TO DOWNLOAD T AGAIN CAUS OF I HAVE LOST my origanl mac os x and ihave lost the box of the labtop with original cd

Snow Leopard is not available for download.
If your Mac came with Snow Leopard, note the serial number, contact Apple, give them your serial number, and they may be able to send you a replacement copy (for a fee).
Note: You should always take good care of the install disc(s) which came with your Mac. I recommend making a few backups and keeping the originals in a safe location; use the backups when needed. If you have a portable Mac, always have a copy of the install disc with you, especially when travelling.

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

I have lost over 20,000 photos in my iPhoto'08 program (v 7.1.5). Any tips on how to relocate them?

I have lost thousands of photos in my iPhoto'08 program (v 7.1.5). I don't think they are lost from my iMac as the storage amount hasn't decreased but the last several years of picks (over 20,000) are not showing up. Any tips on how to relocate them?

Hi LarryHN-thanks for your quick reply!!
Nothing recently changed that Ican think of! I went on vacation and when I returned, I uploaded my new photos. That's when I discovered that the new photos were in the library but very few other photos were.
When you say to back up the iPhoto library, is this something different that backing up the entire iMac to an external hard drive?

How do I get clearer images after I have saved images on key note

I use Keynote for a scrapbook program as I have yet to find anything that is efficient as it. Trouble is i dont know how to set the pages so they would be 12x12 andafter I print the images out the have lost their true colour and have a blurred effect. Is there something I could do to rectify this
Many thanks people

Is there something I could do to rectify this
Definitely, use a dedicated photographic printing application.
Keynote is a fantastic video based presentation application but its not designed for high quality output to print. It can produce handouts and notes for lecturers, but as it does not have a print module dedicated to correctly scaling photographic quality image printing, it is the wrong application to use.
For viewing and printing, you would be far better off placing all the original images in individually labeled folders, then use Preview (in the Applications folder) to view and print the images.
If you want the best printing software under the sun for the Mac, get Adobe Lightroom for £60, cheaper if you buy on Ebay. It will catalogue and print all your images to any size and format.

If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
iOS- Understanding passcodes
     If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
     below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
     simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
     same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
     1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
     2. Connect your device to your computer.
     3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
     4. Select the Summary tab.
     5. Select the Restore option.
     6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
         option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
         necessary to create another.
     7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
         you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
     8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
         logo while starting up:
           After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
          to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
          iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
          you see "iPhone is activated."
     9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
Placing your device into recovery mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
     1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end
         of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
     2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the
         red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
          If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake
          and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake
          and Home buttons.
     3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device.
         The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device
         charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then
         start with step 2 again.
     4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
         When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
     5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
     6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

As long as the apps and ibooks are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
