I have deleted all my photos from my mac, how can I transfer them from my iphone4 or iPad back to my mac

Can anyone help? I have by mistake deleted all of my photos on my Mac. I want to transfer the library from my iphone 4 or my ipad back to my Mac.

There is no syncing process to move synced photos from an iOS device back to a computer.
If you have only a small amount of photos you can email them to yourself.
There are third party applications available online, some free and some at cost that will pull pictures off your device and back to the computer if your number of photos is great.
In the past I have user PhoneView with great success.

  • I have deleted all pictures that were in trash; how can I recover these files?

    my kids might have deleted all the pictures and videos from my mac book; I was cleaning my mac and emptied the trash without checking the details and lost all the pictures and videso. Please advise if there is a way I can recover/restore these files, without shelling a lot of money for purchasing third party tools.

    Buy a couple backup drives. Clone your drive(s) with Carbon Copy Cloner, gives you a bootable backup / can archive files as well. And to be redundant you want two backup sets. So have at least one TimeMachine backup running also.

    But, the more you use your system the less likely to find any. And you do need a drive to recover to.
    Time to go shopping for one or two disk drives at minimum. Say USB3 or something. Try Amazon for bare drives and cases. Try OWC for kits.

  • HT204053 I somehow erased all my contacts from my IPHONE, how can i export them from icloud to my phone?

    I somehow erased all my contacts from my iPhone, how can I export my contacts from my icloud account from my PC?

    joephilipose,
    If the contacts are still in Address Book on your computer, but just not on the phone, you can tell iTunes to force replace the contacts on your phone with those from your computer. You can do this by going into the Info tab when your iPhone is connected, and checking the Contacts box under the Advanced section at the bottom of the page.
    You may also want to backup your Address Book information as well. It's a good idea to make periodic backups of your contact and calendar information in case information accidentally gets deleted or changed. You can find out how to backup your Address Book data here:

    To backup your iCal information, follow the steps in this article:

    Hope this helps,

  • I've just upgraded Aperture and seem to have lost all the folders and albums. How can I retrieve them?

    When I opened Aperture a dialogue box appeared suggesting I upgrade. The upgrade was done, and now all the folders and albums previously in Aperture have disappeared. How can I retrieve them?

    . The upgrade was done, and now all the folders and albums previously in Aperture have disappeared. How can I retrieve them?
    When you opened your new Version of Aperture you probably created a new, empty  Aperture Library.
    Do you remember where your original Aperture Library is located? Usually it resides in your "Pictures" folder, and is named something.aplibrary. If you do not remember where it is, search with Spotlight for ".aplibrary".
    Quit Aperture, if it is running, then select your old Aperture Library and double click it to open it. This will launch Aperture on your correct library, and you should see all your projects and albums again.

  • Husband updated my iphone to iOS 5 and now I have lost all contacts, photos, texts, everything.  How do I restore them?

    Husband updated my iphone 4 to iOS 5 and now I have nothing, no contacts, no calendar, no photos, no texts , How do I get them back?  I am lost without them.  Feel like my phone is now just a phone.

    The same thing happened with me. I was updating my husband's iPhone 3GS to iOS 5, and it lost his calendars and contacts. When I did the update, I let it do a sync and backup first.
    Since that time, I tried to do a restore, and it only saw a back up from October, 2010. Where are backups stored? Are they invisible files on the mac? His laptop is a 13" macbook running 10.6.8.

  • HT201210 I accidentally restored my iPhone 5 for the first time and now I have lost all my photos and contacts. How do i get them back?

    So I plugged in my iPhone 5 to my computer for the first time and I accedentally pressed restore. My wife has a iPhone 4s and has plugged in her phone to the computer many times to sync. So when i restored i got all her photos and lost mine which were very very importent. So how do I get my photos back?

    Unless your photos were backed up somewhere, they're gone.  They were wiped off your phone when you restored it from your wife's data.

  • ITunes deleted all my songlists (about 70 !) - how can I get them back ?

    While listening to iTunes the program deleted all my songlists (in german Wiedergabelisten) - I had about 70 ...
    I searched for a solution ... and find a file named iTunes Music Library.xml which wasn't here before (I looked at TimeMachine).
    How can I get all my songlists back ?

    If they are not in a backup then your only hope is to get them from your PhotoStream. See:

  • I have all my old photos from my PC on a Maxtor external hard drive.  How can I transfer them from this to my Macbook Air?

    I'd like to transfer my old photos from my PC which are stored on a Maxtor external hard drive to my Macbook Air.  Is there an easy way of doing this?  I don't know if the Maxtor hard drive is Windows specific or if it's compatible with Mac.  Anyone know?

    It should be fairly simple.  The Maxtor should be recognized as "read only" since it's formatted for windows.  Connect it and in iPhoto select, iPhoto > File > Import to Library..   > Point to your external hd.

  • I updated my phone and now all my photos are gone. How can I get them back?

    I really need to know. They Have all my memories fo rthe past 3 years.

    Well, certainly if you had 3 years of photos you have been importing them off the phone to your computer as recommended.  Just synch them back.
