Where are my photos that I backed up from my IPhone on my mac computer?

You import the pictures from the phone. Windows has a built in utility to import pictures from a digital camera, or in this case the iPhone. It doesn't import from the backup, it imports them directly from the iPhone. You can go into Control Panel and click on AutoPlay to configure what happens when you plug in a digital camera or the iPhone. Otherwise, there are programs like Lawrence has described.

Is there a way to find the photos that iTunes backs up from the iPhone?

A friend of mine had to replace his phone and something happened when he added the new phone. He can't find his photos that should have been backed up. There must be a file somewhere where they are saved on the computer I would think. Can it be accessed? Also what about contacts?

Thanks for the info. Not sure what he did or if he is very tech savvy. He and his wife bought 3G S phones and her's froze up after a month and had to be replaced. I don't know for sure if he had backed it up or not. I know he went to the Apple Store to get it replaced and he asked them about transferring the contacts and they said they couldn't because the phone was froze up. I know they had it just over 30 days. I don't think they were using another program for their contacts either.
Along the same lines another friend was asking about the photos and if there was a way to access them from the backup on the computer. He also had to replace his phone, but restored it from backup and got all his photos back. He was asking if there was a file somewhere to access those photos on the computer. I don't know how tech savvy he is, and maybe he doesn't realize that when you connect your phone to the computer that it gives you the option to view the photos and then copy them.

Where are my photos that i backed up to time machine?

I backed my photos up to my AirPort Time Capsule (3TB) a couple of months ago, and deleted them from may macbook. Now I can't find them on the Time Capsule. Any chance they're still there, and, if so, how can I get them back on to my macbook?

They should be in Pictures > iPhoto Library in your Time Machine Backup.

Where are my Photos that I imported using IPHOTO?

I am using IPHOTO 9. I have about 15,000 pics/videos that I have imported using IPHOTO. That much stuff takes an enormous amount of my hardrive space on my Macbook Pro, which is only 500GB. Yesterday I purchased a 2TB Time Capsule. My intention was to use this as storage for all those pics. But, I'm reading that isn't a good idea. I do have a 650 GB external WD HDD that I have moved the Iphoto Library to. My questions are: Where are all the original phtos stored that I imported from my camera, and other places into IPHOTO? How do I access all of those files without stepping through dozens of folders within the Master folder under Iphoto Library?
I purchased PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 11 and Photoshop Elements Organizer. I wanted to organize all my photos utilizing Photoshop Elements Organizer but I can't seem to find them. When I go to Import pictures/videos from "Iphoto" under Elements Organizer it takes an extremely long time. In fact, the dialogue that shows how much time is left and what picture it is on indicates like around picture number 50 of 15,000 after an hour or so. Just way too long. So, I don't know what to do? Anyone that has an idea of how I can better utilize these two programs or just one or the other, would be appreciated.
Thanks.

This may be of interest to you:
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

Where are my photos when I save them from facebook? They are not in the photo stream.

The photos cannot be located in the photos stream in either location.

In what orientation were the photos taken, i.e. portrait or landscape? As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos from your iPhone and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

When I start syncing photos that I previously removed from my iPhone, iTunes stop answering.

I'm trying to sync photos that I removed from my iPhone back to it, via iTunes. It does contain some videos that I took too, it syncs the photos but when it's time to transfer the videos, iTunes stop answering.
Please help!

I'm with you! I have 4 "Albums" on my phone, and two of them I don't get an option to delete. When I hit "Edit" it's litearly "edit" like redeye and such. And if I hit the little "arrow" that usually gives you more options, the options are to share to facebook, twitter, print, etc. It's taking up a lot of space!

Where are my photos that I had in my free Photoshop elements gone to

I receive a notice a while ago that stated, all pictures stored in Photoshop elements would be transferred to revel. Well, that never happened. Those pictures are extremely valuable to me b/c they contained photos of my brother who has passed away. How can I get them back? Plz help
Susan

The pictures that were moved to revel were the photos stored at photoshop.com, not the pictures stored in the organizer on your hard drive. Those should still be exactly where they used to be. How do you know your photoshop.com photos are not at Revel?

Where are my photos that I synced to icloud photo library

Hey everyone,
I used the iOS 8 beta from the first day, and am on 8.02 now. When iCloud Photo Library was announced I enabled it and synced my pictures up to iCloud.
I ended up getting a new phone and tried to sync my photos back from the cloud, but now I see only gray squares where the pictures should be. When I open them up, I get a gray screen with a tiny exclamation point icon in the bottom right corner. I can never really get them to sync. Is there any way to recover these pictures?

Hi,
sorry to answer to this quite old post. ;-) I am now using the newest IOS with icloud foto. All my pictures are originally stored on the mac and got synced in the cloud. When using my Iphone and opening a picture I always get this exclamation mark on the right bottom corner. But only with no Wifi, but 4G and working internet connection.
Can you possibly help me?
I already tried turning off the icloud foto and turn it on again on my Iphone.
Thank you!!

Where are my photos that i import to iphoto?

I have photoshop lightroom and i want to edit photos in there but all of my photos are located in iphoto. do i need to copy them all over to the photos folder of my mac? that seems a bit silly because i am wasting a lot of hard drive space doing this. lightroom doesn't seem to pull the files from iphoto. am i wrong?
thanks

No you are not wrong.
The issue is that iPhoto is a Photo Organiser and so is Lightroom - they both want to manage the files. Lightroom is not a photo editor like Photoshop, and so you cannot integrate the two apps as you would with Photoshop or any other editor.

HT4859 CAN I SEE AND ACCESS PHOTOS AND MUSIC THAT WERE BACKED UP FROM MY IPHONE, BY LOGGING ON TO MY ICLOUD ACCOUNT ON MY DESKTOP? ALL I SEE IS MAIL, CALENDAR, CONTACTS. NO PHOTOS OR MUSIC.

I have backed up my iPhone to iCloud. I have switched on the back up photos, etc. (basically everything). But, when I open iClould on my computer, and log in, the only things I see are my Contacts, iCloud email (not my other two email accounts that I use on my iPhone), iWork, Calendar, and Notes. I don't see any photos, videos, or music (all music purchased from iTunes Store). When Im logged in to iCloud on my desktop (actually, it's a MacBook), and open Settings, there really aren't that many things to 'set'. In fact, there isn't much in iCloud. Whats up?

You can't see the contents of an iCloud backup on the iCloud website.

Is there any way to recover photos that have been deleted from my phone?

im looking to recover photos that have been delted from my iphone 4. is it possible?

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you have a backup that includes these photos, you could restore your phone.

HT201317 I had my photo stream on and my icloud all set up, i just had the screen replaced and they somehow lost all the photos off my phone, but why wont the photo's reload back on to my iphone now that im connected to wifi again, where are all my photos

I had my photo stream on and my icloud all set up, i just had the screen replaced and they somehow lost all the photos off my phone, but why wont the photo's reload back on to my iphone now that im connected to wifi again, where are all my photos???

When photos are added to the photo stream album on a device (either due to a new photo having been taken or having been synced from another device using the stream) they remain in the album. However, the syncing process involves copying the photos to the photo stream server where they are kept for a maximum of 30 days, up to 1000 photos. If a device is reset or the stream is turned off or turned back on again (or in your case, the device was repaired), the photos that were on the device's photo stream album are gone and the only ones to appear are those that are currently on the servers (recall the 30 day limit).
If some of your photos are older than 30 days, then they are no longer stored on the cloud and hence are not synced down to the iphone.
Recall, photo stream is just a syncing service, it is not designed as a storage service for photos. Always sync photos to a computer for archiving.

Where are my photos i backed up on i cloud

Where are the photos i backed up on I cloud?

I was not aware that transferring photographs from MM to iCloud was ever offered, are you sure. I ask because if your photographs were still in the MM Gallery when MM closed, they are gone.

Where are my photos? just tried to access time capsule after my first back up and am unable to open iphoto to verify they were backed up.

You can't open your backups directly with apps.
But you can see some types of files in your backups. If you're still on Snow Leopard (or Lion with iPhoto '09 or earlier), see the gray box at the end of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #15.
If you're on Lion with iPhoto '11, you can use the Finder to see the iPhoto library, per the beginning of that same link. All you can see there is the library and size.
