How to view my back up photo files?

Hi, i just upgraded my software to 2.1 and i had to restore from scratch (could not use my back up because it was "corrupted") so now i don't have my old contacts, pictures, ect. how can i get this back without having to restore everything (something i can't do anyways, as mentioned before)
i don't want to loose my pictures or contacts!
thank you for the help

How to view my back up photos?

I backed up my photos to iCloud before exchanging for a new phone at telco centre. But when I on the new phone, I was only able to retrieve my photos up to 30 days back. the rest of it are not available in my Photo Stream. So i was thinking, ok seems like the rest of the photos are gone and there's nothng I can do.But recently, it says my iCloud is approaching its limit and when I checked, appararently there were several different back up on iCloud ( i have exchanged for a new phone 3 times). But the problem is, I cant retrieve any of those photos in the previous back up. N I don't think I can afford to reset the phone again as I've been using this new phone for quite some time..
So, how do i view the data that was previously backed up??

You're confusing Photo Stream with the iPhone backup. Photo Stream is for transferring photos from one device to another, and they are cached in iCloud for 30 days for that purpose only.
The backup contains all the photos in the Camera Roll album and stores them indefinitely. Unless you deleted photos from the phone and backed up again, all of the photos taken on the phone are still in the backup. The only way to see them is to restore the backup to the phone,

IPhoto asked to upgrade library and has now come up empty even though my iPhoto file is over 130GB. How do I get back my photos?

iPhoto asked to upgrade library and has now come up empty even though my iPhoto file is over 130GB. How do I get back my photos? I am using OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 with Mavericks. My iPhoto is 9.6. I am very concerned as this file has all my photos for the last 15 years!

If the iPhoto Library is still 130 GB large, your photos are probably still inside; perhaps the library has a corruption.
Or the iPhoto Library is on drive, that is incompatible with iPhoto. Where is your iPhoto Library stored?
To check for a library corruption: Ctrl-click or right-click the iPhoto library and select "Show Package Contents". This will show the folders inside the library package.
Are there folders called "Masters" or "Old Masters"?
If there is a folder "Old Masters", you are having a problem with recent bug, that corrupts iPhoto Libraries when upgrading. In that case, it would be best to restore your iPhoto Library from a backup you made before you upgraded to Yosemite.
Or, if no backup is available, copy the "old Masters" folder to a folder on your Desktop and create a new iPhoto library and import the Old Masters folder.
If there is no folder "old Masters" try to rebuild your iPhoto Library with the First Aid tools :
Make a backup copy of your iPhoto Library, but don't overwrite any older backups.
To launch the "First Aid Tools" hold down the options-command keys ⌥⌘ while double clicking your iPhoto Library.
Keep the keys held down firmly until the First Aid panel appears.
Select "Rebuild Database".

Hi my question is how can I sort and delete photo files which I have had backed up multiple times? Another way how can I get rid of from the duplicate?

You can't view the files in an iCloud backup. You can only see the data in the backup by restoring it to your iPad.

How can one send email-sized photo files as attachments in Mail, without the photos appearing within the email?s

How can one send email-sized photo files as attachments in Apple Mail, without the photos appearing in the body of the email? If it can be done, it's not at all obvious, at least not to me. Thanks for any help you can provide.

The "View as icon" option shrinks the photo to an icon in the sender's Apple Mail, but how it appears to the recipient varies dependingy on what e-mail client he/she uses.
Using Apple Mail 5.0 (the Lion version) at both ends, the sender can use the "View as icon" option to shrink his view of the photo to an icon, but the recipient also using Apple Mail 5.0 still sees the full photo in line with the message text. The recipient can then use the "View as icon" option to shrink it to an icon, but I don't think that's not what jackofarabia is looking for.
As far as I know there is no way in the current Apple Mail to do what jackofarabia wants. There should be, but there isn't.

You should have asked this before you tried: Changing username or short name- User Account and Short Name- OS X- How to change user account name or home directory name.

I recommend you ask that in the PSE forum. I'm sure there is some import/ export hocuspocus involved...

Hello briggiebunny
If iTunes can read the movie files, then you will need to create an iPad version by going to the drop down menu File > Create New Version > Create iPad or Apple TV Version and then syncing that newly created file.
iTunes: Videos may be unable to sync to iPhone, iPad, or iPod

Hi by mistake i deleted some photos on my i phone 5s how can i get back that photos?

by mistake i deleted some photos on my i phone 5s how can i get back that photos can you tell me please.

You cannot unless you backed up your phone. If you had PhotoStream on, they might still be there as well.

I accidentally deleted an Application on my iphone 5 and with it lost important files. How do i get back these files. The last iphone backup sync was after this so I cant even access an older back up as I cannot find them. How do I get back my Lost files.

On your iMac launch iTunes and at the top next to the Apple symbol click iTunes > Preferences > Devices and tell me what you see. You last sync should be there showing only a device name. If you have an older backup it will be there as well the difference is it will be the device name with a date and time stamp. Sync and backups are two different things and there is a chance iTunes made a backup the first time you hooked up your iPhone 5.

Yes i had not taken back up before restoring it. However i was just going through some links on the net and there is a software available for MAC to retrieve such lost data. But the point is will the said software work on iphone as the OS is not MAC..
Will have to give a try to this. If successful will share it with all. Anyone else has any idea about this please so share.

When you say Elements 9 do you mean Photoshop Elements, Premiere Elements or the Elements Organizer?
Technically there is no program called simply Elements.

How can you just back up photos with Time Machine. 2000 of them

I am a photographer and trying to backup my photos. I would be using Seagate Backup Plus USB 3.0 , 1TB.
I am very computer illeriate so please dumb it down so I understand.
Hook up the Seagate drive (don't use their software) to the Mac and a TimeMachine window should appear, click yes and let it work for hours until completed. Hook up occassionally and it will backup your entire boot drive.
If you need to format the drive, open Disk Utiltiy in your Applications > Utilities folder, click on your new drive on the left and Partition, 1, Option GUID and OS X Extended Journaled as the format and click apply.
You should get another external drive, this will be your storage drive for a duplicate of all your photo's.
Connect it to the Mac, format it the same way as above, then you need to drag and drop your photo's to it.
If your photo's are in iPhoto, then inside your Pictures folder is a iPhoto Library, drag and drop it onto the icon of the external storage drive every time you want to make a backup.
The first time you drag and drop, it will copy it.
The next time you do it, it will ask if you want to replace the iPhoto Library with the new one.
If your sure you want to do this, then say YES.
If you want to make multiple dated backups of the iPhoto Library, double click on the external hard drive icon and it will open into a window.
Use the Finder > New Folder and you can click on the name and change the type to date, then drag the more recent copy of iPhoto Library to that folder.
This way you can have more than one copy of the iPhoto Library on the external storage drive at the same time as they are in folders. This way you can create a archive of dated photo's.
Good Luck, and take a class or have someone teach you about basic OS X user interface.
