HT5037 Can't retrieve my old photos after upgrade

I had a iBook G4 and a few years back I purchased a iPhone 3GS and a 250 GB external hard drive.  All the pictures I was taking on my phone I was saving on the hard drive.  Just reciently I have purchased a MacBook Pro and am attempting to load all the previouse pictures from the harddrive onto the computer.  A window popped up informing me that I had to upgrade in order to retrieve the photos so I did.  I installed the upgrade under the Utilities menu and I said that it was complete but it still will not let me retrieve the photos and now it seems like it wont even let me open iPhoto.  What do I do now?

thanks Shreya.
i don't think i could do that, given that the acsm files were in my stolen computer, and it's now impossible to download them again. i thought Digital Editions had some sort of way of storing the information about the purchases, but i guess i was overrating it. My bad.
Thanks for your answer though!!

  • How can I restore my old photos after a recovery if not backed up through itunes or icloud

    Here's the story. I dropped my phone in a swimming pool. It did not start at first. I layed the phone in a bag of uncooked rice and after 5 days it seemed like it was going to startup again. However something was wrong with teh battery so we ordered a new battery. The phone started up with the new battery but it wanted to go into that recovery mode. I did go through the backup procedure in iTunes and then recovery. The phone is now starting up fine but it is blank from apps and photos like a new phone. I did not have any photos backed up over iCloud before this happened. However shouldn't the photos still be on teh memory card of the phone? I thought the recovery process just resets the phone to factory standard, not deleting my photos. How can I get my old photos out of the phone? They are not in the DCIM when I log on through Windows explorer as well.

    What a crappy design. This is where Android is so much better. It seems to me like you have no control over your iPhone. It does whatever Apple has designed it to do without asking you first. On Android you can actually go in see all folders, document files, photo files etc and you have so much more control of everything. Apple s..cks!

  • Problems with old photos after upgrading to iPhoto 08

    Normally I am very good about backing up my photos. I had iPhoto06 for a couple of years, and had updated all of my photos through the end of 10/08. I got iPhoto08 at the end of December (yes...wish I waited) and installed it before backing up my November and December photos. Now for some reason, I can't do anything with the photos from that two month period. If I click to open the thumbnail pictures in iPhoto it just shows a big exclamation point. When I open package contents it does not show any photos that I already had in my iPhoto06 library, although the thumbnails all appear when I open iPhoto. The only reason I can access the other old files is because they had been independently backed up. I can't export, drag and drop and or do anything with the files from that two month period. Any suggestions?

    Sounds like your database file has been damaged:
    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 (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. 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.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    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 (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event 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.

  • Can't use my old HDD after upgrading with new one,old is GPT protected

    Hi everyone! First of all I would like to thank you in advance!
    Recently I upgraded my old HDD on my MacBookPro. I made a clone of the old disk, installed the new one in the MBP and putted the old one in external enclosure. Now I'm trying to use the old disk with the enclosure, but it doesn't appear in Finder, it appears in Disk Tools, but I can not perform any actions on it. I tried to erase it, but with no success! The old disk is GPT protected and I don't know what to do. Tried to erase it with Windows and Linux with no success neither. I know the enclosure works because it recognize every other disk, but my old one is untouchable to my Mac OS! I'm looking for possible ideas on how to make my old HDD usable with the enclosure?

    Can't really help with your Internet issues, but I can put you on the path to leaning more about Macs.
    If you're a former Windows user, there many resources on Apple's web site to get yourself familiar with how Macs and OS X work.
    Here ard a few areas to spend time with
    http://www.apple.com/support/macbasics/
    http://www.apple.com/support/imac/intel/
    http://support.apple.com/videos/
    http://www.apple.com/support/lion/
    http://www.apple.com/support/osx/
    For the video tutorials, in the video search box, just type in OS X. You'll get a list of OS X video tutorials to watch  as you learn to use your iMac.
    Start with the Anatomy of a Mac video first, Then the Finder Basics video second. After you have watched and put to use these two videos, you can watch any other OS X video you want in any order.
    Here is a free eBook download of David Pogue's OS X Snow Leopard The Missing Manual here. While OS X 10.7 LIon and OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion work a bit differently than OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, there are many things that still apply.

  • How can i retrieve my lost contacts after upgrading to iOS 5.1.1

    I just upgraded to to the iOS 5.1.1 and a few hours later all my contacts disappeared.  I tried to restore through iTunes but that did not work.  - UPDATE as I am writing this.  I got through to Apple Customer Service and because I had selected the option to backup to my computer (iMac 10.5.8) it was actually saving all my contacts to my "address book" app.  Since I never used that application I didn't even think to look there.  I just re-synced my contacts selecting "all contacts" and I was back in business. 

    I'm not sure I understand what you're asking, but I'll try to answer!    You can either connect to iTunes and set up and activate there, or you can also use the setup assistant to set up your iPhone.  As far as carrier activation, you'll have to follow the protocol that your carrier uses.  Either switch SIM card, or call the number they use to allow device activation.  Is that what you were wanting to know?

    How can I retrieve my old files on important documents and informations?

    Contacts and calendars are designed to be synced with a supported application on the computer or a cloud service like iCloud, Google, or Exchange.
    Has the device been used as designed?  If so, simply re-sync them.
    Did you actually allow the device to finish restoring after installing the update?

  • Purchased songs in the past then recently purchasd new songs,  but the new purchases replaced all of my old purchases.  How can I retrieve my old purchases?  Cannot find them in any of my playlists.

    Purchased songs in the past then recently purchasd new songs,  but the new purchases replaced all of my old purchases.  How can I retrieve my old purchases?  Cannot find them in any of my playlists.

    If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
    1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
    2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
    3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.

    I lost my iPod touch 32 GB a month ago, and today I got a new iPod touch 64 GB. While syncing it with itunes, I got my music library, books and purchased items back, but I didn't get my photos and videos.How can I get my old photos back in my new iPod?

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.
