How to get back lost photos on iPhoto?

I was trying to format new hard drive and somehow i have lost my photos on iPhoto. Will I be able to get them back. I haven't back them up on Time Machine.

If your REALLY lucky, open iPhoto and try command Z for each photo. This is a LLLLLLOOOOOOONNNNNNgGGGGG shot.

    I lost some photo when I changed ipad 1 to ipad 2

    Hi
    Can you describe your back-up and restore process you used?
    Were the photos on the camera roll, in an iPAD album, email photos etc?
    Cheers

  • How to get back lost photos or notes?

    My friend had never sunk his ipod touch 5 before so we sunk it to my laptop. When it was done we realized his photos and notes were gone from his ipod. His apps are on the laptop and ipod, but not the photos or notes. Is there anyway we can get the photos and notes back to his ipod? (icloud was not set up)

    With no backup to restore from:
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting photos from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
      iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    - If you used iCloud then setting up the iPod with the same same iCloud account should bring the notes back.

  • Lost my iPod and don't know how to get back my photos

    I lost my iPod touch 5th generation and don't know how to get back my photos.  It is running iOS 8.1.
    Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Get them back from where?
    They will only be where you put them.
    If you used photo stream, then look for them there.
    If you imported them to your computer, then they will be there.
    If you did not put them anywhere but your iPhone, then they are gone.
    Sorry

  • How do I recover lost photos in iPhoto?

    How do I recover lost photos in iPhoto? Instead of photos I have dotted borders or, in a few cases white boxes.

    You could try rebuilding the database ...
    Launch iPhoto while holding down the Command + Option keys.
    The Photo Library First Aid window should open.
    Select:  Repair Database
    Click:  Repair
    If that doesn't help, open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist
    Click Go then move the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch iPhoto.
    If that doesn't help, copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch iPhoto.
    If you do not currently have a wawy to backup your iPhoto library, you need to do that so that you can recover your photos in the event of a hard drive problem.

  • HT4859 how do i back up photos on iphoto?

    how do i back up photos on my imac from iphoto. I thought this was supposed to happen automatically to icloud but i've been advised that only applies for photos on my iphone. thx

    More advice, regarding photos on iOS devices ...
    You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.  This is covered in the manual.

  • How can I back up photos from iPhoto using terminal?

    Can I backup my photos from iPhoto using terminal or any other way(to a portable hard drive) as I have turned my laptop on and it has came to a screen giving me the option to back up from time machine, reinstall IOS or clean my drives, but neither are working so I believe I am going to have to erase my whole hard drive and potentially get a new one, but my only problem is that I haven't backed up my iPhoto images before so is there anyway I can do this?

    You are booted from Recovery Drive. Have you tried restarting so you boot normally?
    See these articles for using terminal to move

  • How can I get back lost photos and videos after updating

    I am having a big problem I tried to use a back up but that didn't work out well.

    You should be importing all pics and vids taken with iphone regularly as you would with any digital camera, most especially before any update or restore
    If you failed to do this, then they are very likely gone.
    All you can do is try a restore from backup

  • How to get back lost pictures, HELP!

    Okay, so I was trying to get my photos to the "Downloads folder to use them on editing sites, and I accidentally exited off iPhoto, and all my pics are gone.. How can I recover them?

    I don't know what you did, but try right clicking on the iPhoto Library and "show package contents" there should be a folder inside called Originals, Finder > duplicate that and move OriginalsCopy out (peak inside it using Preview to view) and close the iPhoto Library window.
    Once that is done and your files are safe then try rebuilding your iPhoto database

    If you trashed your photo's and they are not visible on the machine and you don't have a backup then this
    Create a data recovery, undelete boot drive

  • How do I recover lost photos from iPhoto?

    Help!!! I had all my honeymoon pistures in iphoto.  My computer started to malfunction due to a ram issue.  Long story short I "backed up" all my stuff to a western digital 250gb hard drive and re installed lion.  They are not on my external Hard Drive nor laptop anymore.  Does anyone know how I can ge these back?  Ill take any suggestions.

    Hello, thank you sooooo much for such quick replies.   Pretty much what originally happened was I was trying to make an imovie, i movie wouldnt load.  I call mac support and they deleted some sort of "plist" in imovie, that didnt do anything, so at that point, they said to re install lion.  I backed everything on to my external hard drive by doing just a drag and drop, I erased everything from the laptop hard drive (in disk utility) and re installed it.  Did not work, brought it back to apple, which we than replaced the RAM.  That fixed everything, and I now re installed everything.  When I went to bring my photos back on from my external drive.  They were not there.  Its weird because I created another user, and looked on the hard drive under the other new user account, and there is a different folder there.  Doesnt have any of my pics, but says hawaii, with data001, data002 and so on.  I am wondering if it is because I have different RAM when I saved them on the other HD ( dont think so though).  Do these recovery programs work?

  • How to get back lost mail and Shutdown problems?

    Dear Apple Users and Support,
    I recently did an idiotic thing and managed to turn one of my mail boxes where I collected mail from 2-3 of my friends totally into junk. I remember highlighting all the message and was attempting to move them to a new mailbox/folder but then accidentally hit JUNK. Nothing happened so I assumed that I was alright. But when I opened my MAIL app yesterday I noticed all those messages were gone. I'm assuming they were marked as JUNK and due to my settings erased them when I quit the program.
    So my question is, how can I get those letters back? I had time machine back up about a week ago. Which would mean I would only lose like 5-6 messages total in the end. Is there a way I can use TIME MACHINE to get a specific inbox back in my MAIL?
    Also, my other option I think is because I pull my mail from the Gmail server and I leave the mail in Gmail, I might be able to pull all the messages that are still sitting on Gmail with the addresses that I need. Is there a way I can tell my MAIL to get all the messages from certain addresses off the server again from Gmail? I assuming there's a parameter that shuts down after retrieving the mail the first time, because otherwise it would constantly pull the same messages off the gmail server.
    Finally, for the past year, my MAIL app has been acting up, and I can never "Quit" out of it as normal. I usually have to Force Quit out of Mail to shut it down. Like 90% of the time it wont' shut down without me Force Quitting it. Any suggestions to stop this problem?
    Thank you for any assistance, those e-mails mean alot to me!
    Thanks!
    Tomes

    In your case, immediately stop using this phone memory card in case of further data loss and then, try to use take chances with some data recovery programs.
    I have ever had some data recovery success with the guidance of this video tutorial.
    Of course, also learn a lesson to make data backups all the time.
    I hope these words work for you.

  • How to get back lost purchases

    Hi I have recently lost my iPad and alot of movies and music, so I brought a new one brought a load of stuff from iTunes and it has randomly wiped 90% of it. My laptop that I have has broke also and is awaiting a new hardrive. is there a way to get all my lost data back directly to my iPad, I have spent to much money on it and would like it back. Thanks mark

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comuter for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases form an ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases.
    In the U.S only you can use the recently released icloud beta version.  open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick Links
