How to get deleted photos back in the trash can?

I tried to dele all the photos I've deleted from iPhoto by cmd+delete all the photos in the iPhoto trash can, but that only made all the photos reappear in iPhoto.
How do I get the deleted photos back in the trash can?
I discovered this the next time I turned on my mac, so I couldn't just "go back".
I really don't wanna go trough ALL of my pictures and delete the thousands of pictures I've deleted over the past three years..
I now know how to delete dem properly, but not how to get them all back in the trash can. Please help me!

There's no way to do that. If you try and trash thousands of photos at one go you'll trash the Library - which is what sounds like you've done.
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.

  • How to get a photo out of the trash

    I accidentally moved a photo into the trash on my iphone.  Is there any way to retrieve it?

    Only if you have a backup of the phone with that photo on it. If you do, you can restore to that backup. Remember everything done since that backup would be lost.
    While it shows a trash can when you delete things, it is not like the Recycle Bin or Trash on a computer.

  • I need help trying to figure out how to get deleted texts back from icloud storage. can someone help me its really important?

    really important. need help.

    If they were on your phone when it was last backed up, restoring the backup to your phone should recover them.

    Actually, wrong.
    The tech support people can help with Playbook purchased apps. If you've called and they said they cannot, you were lied to.
    Even in the link you posted, in #10, it states clearly "App Refund related matters are handled by BlackBerry Customer Care." That, my friend is accessed by the support number. Again, if you were told otherwise, you should inform them of such or ask for a manage/supervisor.
    And, you don't have a "Partner ID" because you are not a "Partner". The section you're referring to applies to mobile providers, which are the Partners.
    Good luck.

  • My e-mail has quit updating.  Anybody know why or how to get it started back?  The result is that I dont get my e-mails on the phone.

    My e-mail has quit updating. Anybody know why or how to get it started back?  The result is that I can not get e-mails on my phone.

    Thank you for the info re. the main menu. Your answer I used worked; however, the menu bar all the way across is solid black. The only way I can find out the names on the menu is to point the cursor from left to right over the black bar to find "file" "edit" tools", etc. What do I need to do to get these menu titles to be seen?
    As regarding the GMail --the menu bar used to have an envelope symbol which was white and outlined in red. That disappeared. I googled "mail.google.com" to try to get back my email. This didn't work. I then tried to get a different email address and password--after 8-19 attempts, this never worked. My other email (sbcglobal.net) has never returned. So I don't know where that went or how to get it back

  • I have an alias of one of my external hard drives in my trash. When I click on "show original" all my external H D 's and my Mac hard drive show up. How do I delete this icon from the trash without loosing all my files?

    I have an alias of one of my external hard drives in my trash. When I tried to delete it, it showed that I was deleting 80,000 files and counting. I stopped the delete process and when I clicked on "show original" all my external H.D.'s and my Mac hard drive show up. How do I delete this alias from the trash without loosing all my files? When I tried to drag it back to the desk top, it just made a duplicate and remained in the trash. When I turned off the external H.D., the trash was then empty. Tried rebooting the computer and then turning the external hard drive back on and the alias shows up in the trash again. Much help appreciated.
    Rich

    In Finder's Menu, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes". (no quotes)
    Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
    Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists. Try trashing the duplicates with a 1 or 2 if there are no real files in them, and reboot.
    If it does contain data...

  • Unable to figure out how to delete photos, there is no trash can in upper right corner?

    Unable to figure out how to delete photos, there is no trash can in upper right corner?

    Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
    Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from on your computer and then re-syncing.

  • Having problem deleting all but one particular mail from the iPhone 4S mail inbox. I can delete mail either by the trash can or using edit, selecting the mail message and deleting.  However there is this one mail message that will not go away. Any ideas?

    I am having a problem deleting all but one particular mail message from my inbox. I delete by either using the trash can icon for individual mail, or using edit, selecting the mail message (s) and clicking delete.  However there is this one mail message that will not go away regardles of what I do including deleting all from the trash.  Any ideas?

    I get that every once in a while on my 3GS, and that's what I do to get rid of it. Probably not a bad idea to power down the phone every so often, anyway, gets rid of any crud waiting to cause a bug.
    Glad to hear that it worked for you.

  • My iphone 4 was switch off for a week now i on it ad my photos are not there how to get that photos back

    my i phone was switch off for a week and when i switch on it my photos and videos are missing i dont know how they get deleted or what happen to them          now please tell me how can i get that photos back. is it possible to get that photos from icloud if yes then how to use it
    thankyou

    You could get them back from multiple places:
    - iCloud back up
    - iTunes back up
    - pc/mac if you imported them to it
    - photostream (if you used thius with icloud)
    With these options your photo may have there, in terms of back ups the photos will bge there if the back up was made when the photos were on the iPhone.

  • How do I get my photos back from the cloud

    How can I get my photo's back from I cloud

    Many users have lost photos while preforming a restore from backup, upgrading the iOS, or using the wrong itunes for syncing (which is your situation).  If you haven't synced them to YOUR computer, then they are gone (unless you have backups to icloud turned on - but that isn't completely reliable; many users have lost their photos doing a restore from an icloud backup).
    IMPORTANT...
    Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream.  If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.

  • How can I get my photos back in the right order?

    I recently reset my iPhone 4s, having backed it up.  When I re-synced it my photos were all in the wrong order, they seem to be displayed in some random order.  For example, four photos that I took one after the other are now scattered among other photos.  I would like to have them in date order, but can't seem to do this.  I know I have to do it on my computer first, and am running Windows 7.
    Can anyone help?  All I want is my photos back as they were before I reset the phone.

    Thank you.  I had actually done that, and then could not re- sync my iPhone.  It connects to iTunes and is recognised, but does not sync, although the bar at the top sys it is synching , and goes through the process very quickly.  But in the end I still have my photos in the old order on the iPhone, and no music at all!
