How to get my pictures back

i lost all of my pictures after updating to the lastest software and i backed everything up before updating my software.

In future the safest way is to back them up onto a computer or a Cloud storage area. If you backed them up onto iCloud they should be on a Photot Stream accesbile on another device or computer. It's a tricky one to sort out...

  • Iphoto library gone after software upgrade/update..Does anyone know how to get my pictures back?

    Hello, I have a Macbook Air and 3 days ago, I had a "crucial update" on my computer but accepted it before looking at what it was for. When my computer auto restarted, my iphoto library was completely gone. Does anyone know how this could have happened?
    I have the OS X 10.7.5 and iphoto 9.2.3... The update that I did may have been the Os X 10.7.5 but I did not look at what the update was being quickly clicking the accept button.
    Unfortunately, I do not think that my pictures were backed up on the "time machine application". Any help would be great for how I can get my pictures back.
    Thank you!

    You should have been syncing all of this to your computer regularly.
    Just sync it back.

  • Getting message about having LR5 already open SO I need to know how to get my pictures back-after export.

    Hi,
    I have been working on photo's and doing the export the laptop freezes up on me, so I have to shut down everything and re-open.  When I go to open LR5 back up I get an error message saying that there is LR already open and that I have to open a new folder - Since I have editing all (about 900 pictures) - is there a way of getting those back Instead of having to RE-DO all of them.  Which is what I am **** right now and it is VERY hard for me.
    I would Love to get a answer on how I can get the photo's back instead of having to re-do all of them again.  THIS has happening a few times to me now and I don't like it.
    I hope that this makes sense - I would just love an answer..

    okay Error message is as follows - pop up window has confirm on the top of
    it.  The lightroom catalog named "Lightroom 6 Catalog" cannot be opened
    because another applications already has it opened.  Button Choose a
    different catalog, Continue or exit.  I have hit all the buttons before and
    the ONLY thing that works is to Choose a different catalog and open a new
    one?
    Might I be able to get my originals photo's back??  the ones that I have
    edited already???

  • How to get my pictures back after recovery mode?

    Hi,  I'm new to this so sorry if I'm asking a question that has already been answered.  Ok here's my problem, Yesterday my phone wouldnt turn on so my friend put it into recovery mode.  I was at work at the time so I used the work PC to unbrick the phone so that I could recieve calls.  Everything was gone from my phone which i expected but taught once I connected to my own itunes all photos, apps, messages and contacts would come back onto the iphone but all that came back was my contacts.  Does anybody know what I done wrong and is there anyway of getting back my photos? I had only backed up my phone on Friday night so everything should have been there. Any help at all woukd be great.

    You're welcome.
    The photos that were previously transferred from your computer were re-transferred to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process. Unless the photos that were in the Camera Roll were imported by your computer before this happened to your iPhone, your only hope to recover these photos is by restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup.
    The iPad cache folder has nothing to do with this. Photos transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on your iPhone as part of the iTunes sync/transfer process which creates the iPad photo cache. You can't sync with the iPod photo cache which has nothing to do with the iPhone's Camera Roll.
    For future reference, you should import photos/videos in the Camera Roll ASAP as with any other digital camera.

    If all you did was sync your phone, and if you haven't synced again since this happened, you can restore your phone from the backup that was created at the beginning of the sync process (camera roll photos are included in the backup).  If you have synced again since this happened this backup has already been overwritten and your photos are lost.  Also, if you restored your phone from the backup of your iPod, rather than just synced, then your  photos are lost too.
    If you have an intact backup that contains these photos, do the following:
    Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences.  On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
    Connect your phone to your computer, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose your most recent backup to restore from.
    When complete, you can go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.

  • IPhone stopped restoring pictures from backup. How do I get my pictures back?

    I got a backup done at the apple store because my camera of my iphone 5 (iOS 7) was broken and they didn't want my pictures to get lost. Since then it was trying to restore but it never fully did more than 2/3 of my pictures never restored. Even with good wifi it wouldn't work and now it just stopped and I still can't find my pictures and videos anywhere. How do I get my pictures back?

    As I know, If the photo deleted, it still store in iPhone, if it isn't overwritten by other data, you can recover the deleted iPhone photos, you can search in google to find a tool to help you, I holp you make a backup with iTunes or iCloud, then follow this from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766

  • I have restored my new replacement iPhone 5s from my latest iCloud back up. However my camera roll pictures are not displaying. Its not saying i don't have any pictures, it just shows empty white squares? How do I get my pictures back? Thanks!

    I have restored my new replacement iPhone from my latest iCloud back up. However my camera roll pictures are not displaying. Its not saying I don't have any pictures in my camera roll, it has all the spaces for them, but it just shows empty white squares? How do I get my pictures back? Thanks!

    It's difficult to say whether it's stuck or not as the time to restore a backup can depend on many factors.  You'll have to decide when you think it's just not continuing.  You could try turning the phone off (hold the power button until you see the red off slider, then slide to turn off), then back on to see if that would get it going again.
    When you're convinced it's just hung, you can go back to settings and tap Stop Restoring iPhone to stop the restore.  You'll then have to try restoring it again (Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup).  Be sure it's connected to your charger and wifi while it's restoring the backup.
    You might also try the approach posted here by ezjules: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19518589#19518589.  This seems to have worked for some people who had trouble restoring their photos from an iCloud backup.

  • I have lost my phone and have no backup, how can I get my pictures back?

    I have lost my phone and have no backup. How can I get my pictures back?

    Without a backup, you cannot recover data.  This is a basic tenet of data.
    Did you perhaps have iCloud Photostream enabled?

  • IPhoto update from Mavericks deleted my library. How can I get my pictures back?

    Soo my iPhoto just decided not to find my photo library anymore.
    When I open iPhoto, it only opens a windwo where I can decide which library I want to open, but gives me no choices, the list is empty. Normally this window opens when my external HD is connected to my macbook since then there's two iPhotos available, but now it just doesnt find even one.
    I had another problem with the iPhoto on my external HD, i wanted to open it but a window opened to tell me that my library is used by another programm or that the library can't be read anymore. I was able to save those pictures by showing the contents and copying the pictures.
    Buuuut now on the macbook, when I do the left click thing to open the contents of the package, there are no pictures in it at all, no folder has pictures in it. When I copy the version from time machine, nothing changes. iPhoto has a size of 1.7 Gb, which is way to small. God dammit.
    How can I get my pictures back?

    Thank you Terence!
    Okay, so here the details:
    iPhoto Version 9.5.1
    OS X Version 10.9.1
    So here what I did, detailed. (pardon my english, I'm swiss)
    I downloaded Mavericks, few days later updated iPhoto (the iPhoto icon was orange before and turned blue after the update). All went well, until one month later, all of a sudden, I was not able to open my iPhoto on the external harddisk. A window opened to tell me that either my library is being used by another programm or that it can't be read anymore. To solve this problem iPhoto tells me to do several things, for example shut down the computer and then open iPhoto again, or set up my library again or open iPhoto by pressing command and alt. But non of those instructions helped. So I opened the contents, I looked for the folder with the masters of my pictures and copied the whole thing onto another harddisk.  
    I think I got those Pics saved, but I still can't open iPhoto on the external harddisk.
    Oh and by the way, the iPhoto icon on my external harddisk looks different now, it's three pictures in a row and the one on top shows a redish flower.
    So now, two days later I try to open the iPhoto on my regular macbook. A window pops up and says that I have to choose a library that I want to open. (iPhoto usually did that when I had my external harddisk connected since there were two different librarys then, one on my external, one on my computer) But now, instead of showing me the library's I can choose from it only shows nothing, no list or anything i could even choose. And then below there's this button that says something like "create a new library".
    So what I did:
    I open the contents and looked for the masters of my pictures, but there weren't any pictures at all. The iPhoto has a size of 1.7 GB which I think is too small for all the Pics and videos i stored in there.
    I tried to get the IPhoto from Time Machine, but nothing changed. Iphoto still's 1.7 GB.
    I opened the file "Pictures" in the Finder, but there's no such file like "iPhoto library", like it's deleted or something like that.
    So i think that I used iPhoto usually, nothing speciall. I imported Pictures from my iPhone or camera and left them there.
    Does that help?

    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting some of them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

  • The apps I created from "add to homescreen" have turned white and have a few lines and circles in it. How can I get the picture back on them?

    The apps I created from "add to homescreen" have turned white and have a few lines and circles in it. How can I get the picture back on them?

    Those aren't apps; they're bookmarks to websites. Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears? If all else fails, you can just re-do the shortcuts.

    Welcome to the Apple Community Emma.
    Navigate to Settings > General > Software Update and install any updates available.
    Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
    When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.
