How to restore photo previews

When I upgraded to iLife11, my photo previews disappeared. How do I restore them?

The dialog box you mentioned does not appear.
Then you're not holding both of those two keys completely down before launching iPhoto. Once it's done correctly you'll get this window:

How to restore photos after i tried to delete them, they are still there

I tried to delete some photos to give me room on my start up disc. First I tried saving them to a thumb drive then tried deleting the pix. The photos come up blank but I still see them sometimes. how do I restore them completely.
part 2 what is the best way to store them off the hard drive?

assuming that you deleted them in iPhoto to totally remove them empty the iPhoto trash and then the system trash
to move your entire iPhoto library to an external drive
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive
How to restore them - if you deleted tehm in iPhoto open the iPhoto trash and right click on them and restore to library

How to restore photo file after empty trash

photos file have been deleted and trash is empty. please advise how to restore. many thx! cheers

Hey there TizJacky,
If I understand correctly there were pictures in your Mac OS trash which has been emptied, and want to restore them. In order to do this, you would need to have had Time Machine setup and backing up your computer before this occurred. This article will help you out if you did:

How to restore photos after baacking them up to icloud?

i want to reset my computer but before i did i made sure that i backed up all photos to icoud, once i reset it the option for restore back up was blocked off. how do i get my photos off of icloud back on to my computer?

You can only back up an iOS device (such as you iPhone) to iCloud, not your computer. This explains how to back up your phone to either iCloud or to your comptuer using iTunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766.

How to restore photos from iPhoto, I didn't not backup, and accidentally empty trash bin

please help, I accidentally empty my iPhoto trash bin, and i do not have backup, how do i restore my photos ?(go back in 2 weeks)....and i did not have iCloud. Please help, thanks.

Look in the system trash - with iPhoto '11 when you empty the iPhoto trash the photos go to the system trash
If you have emptied both then you need professional data recovery or a program like file salvage

How to restore photos and videos from old Ipod

Hello,
I recently got my iPod exchanged at the Apple Store. I restored it to my old iPod settings and everything restored: videos, apps, documents, everything EXCEPT photos and videos I had taken using the camera on my OLD iPod.
I'm nearly positive the photos and videos are stored on my computer somewhere, but they aren't syncing onto my new ipod.
In Summary. I took pictures on iPod #1. I synced iPod #1. I restored iPod #2. The pictures from iPod #1 don't appear on iPod #2.
Can you help me?

HT204022 How to restore photos deleted photo stream???

I'm a bit of a newbee to forums and macs....
I have an iphone and have always manually used the USB and copy & paste photos onto my PC.
A couple of days ago I installed iCloud onto my PC which installed Okay and created a new photo steam folder as part of the installation.
Unfortunately, none of the existing photos in photo steam stored on my iphone moved across to my PC photo steam folder.... I read a forum that said you need to go into the photo steam folder on the PC, right click into properties and unselect the tick box for read only, which I did .... it still didn't start adding photos onto my PC, so I thought it was fair to say the icloud program wasn't working on the my PC like it should be.
Given that I thought it was pointless having a photo steam folder on my iphone and on the icloud site, so I deleted the photo stream photos off my iCloud account as I thought they wouldn't upload on my PC anyway so what was the point in having them using up my free 5GB of storage.
The next day to my horror I've discovered iCloud has deleted every single iphone photo I have (including the birth of my first born child) off my PC!!!!!!! These are photos I have always manually used the USB and copy pasted photos onto my PC so thought there was no way these would be effected by iCloud anyway ..... how wrong was I.
PLEASE HELP!!!
Is there anyway I can recover these deleted photo steam photos?

Open you photo stream photos in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to delete, then tap Delete. This will delete them from your phone and from your photo stream and any other devices that are connected to your photo stream.

How to restore photo albums

When I restore my ipad I do not get my photo albums back. what did I do wrong ?

If these were photo albums synced to your iPad from your computer they are not contained in the backup and must be synced back to your iPad using iTunes.

How to restore photos with all albums and metadata to later version of iPhoto?

Hi everyone
I recently had a hard drive crash on my "vintage" 2006 intel iMac. Got the HD replaced but the support service I used was unable to retrieve any of my data off it. Luckily I had all files backed up in a cloud service.
The support service reloaded Snow Leopard onto my new HD but using their own disks, not mine.
I've downloaded my iPhoto Library folder with all photos etc from my backup service and have tried to simply drop it into my Pictures folder to get back everything I had: photos, albums, photo metadata (I'm thinking Ratings in particular).
However when I open iPhoto I'm getting the message "You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto. You have made changes to your photos using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto"
I'd appreciate any expert help before I continue. Does this suggest that the support service have loaded an older version of iPhoto than the one I previously had, or could it be the case that they in fact loaded a newer one?
What's my best course of action to fix this? I'm guessing that I could reload Snow Leopard from my own disks without running a disk erase and get back to the version of iPhoto that I used to edit these photos before the crash - does that make sense?
I am not at all technically literate and well appreciate I may be overlooking or misunderstanding something.
Any help greatly appreciated
Thanks

6.0.6 is the latest version of iPhoto 6.
And no, unless you had iPhoto 08 or some later version already, upgrading will not fix the problem. It's a bogus message. If you did not open the Library with iPhoto 08 or later then the Library is corrupt.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

How to restore photos in ipad after updating ios without backup?

Please help! I accidently updated my wife's ipad which she didn't do any backup before. All her valuable vacation photos as well as her cooking photos are gone! Anyone out there can give any solution to this? Thanks in advance!

There is no solution. If you didn't backup the iPad, the photos are gone.
Do you use photo stream?
