I have iPhoto 9.1.5 & lost some photos...Help!

I was working on photos in my most recent event. When I finished, I scrolled through and found that 4 of my photos were gone and where they were ins now completely black. The file number is under each photo but cannot recover the photos. It almost looks like I took the picture with the lens cover on.
when I select the info. button it shows the details of the photo.
Does anyone have a clue what I can do to recover these photos?

That's not the way one should restore from Time Machine. To restore a library from TM go into the Pictures folder and then launch TM. Once in TM go to the date needed, select the library in the Pictures folder and use the Restore button.
Click to view full size
Since TM does'nt backup files that have not been modified or are not new dragging a library from the .backupdb folder that way could result in an incomplete library. To assure you're getting the full library use the method above.

In synchronising I-tunes with my I-phone I have lost some photos can anybody tell me what to do ?

Hello,
In synchronising my i-phone with my i-tunes I have lost some photos I cannot find them anywhere nor on my phone nor on my i-tunes account can anyone help ?

Hi jscher200,
Thank you for your reply, sorry for the VERY late late response, but I have just figured out how to control this separate 'panel'. I find it really useful for monitoring Google Analytics in as it can just sit there running. It does have its limitations, as it's a limited size (you can't expand it to full screen view), so you can only ever see a vertical section of a website and need to scroll to look to the right or left, but I have the live view of people accessing my website running on there and if the numbers start racking up at any time, I can scroll to look and see what pages they are accessing, where they've been referred from, etc.
To get it to work, you save a website address in the Bookmarks Toolbar and when you can see it sitting on the toolbar at the top of the screen with its little icon, right click on it then click 'properties', then tick the box 'Load this bookmark in the sidebar'. The next time you click on this bookmark to open the website, it will load in this sidebar, which looks like a separate 'window' but is immovable. You can only have one sidebar application running at a time, but can change it by right clicking on the bookmark you want to load in there and it will then change to that one next time you click on that bookmark.
I hope this might be useful to others, as I asked for help with this on loads of forums and not one person knew that this existed - even really skilled techies!

I lost some photos when updating my OS, how can I find them

I lost some photos when updating my OS, how can I find them. I have already tried to restore through my PC but the photos are still not there. Any thoughts?

If you haven't backup up your phone, then your photos are gone.
In addition you should import your photos to your PC, just like a ditigal camera, as a secondary backup in case you lose your pics you could always sync it back using Itunes.

I have old MacBook running OS 10.6.8 I was told in Apple Genius Bar that I need a code from apple support to upgrade to 10.7.   Apple support will not help because I am have their support plan. Can some one help?

hi Samberl
thanks a lot for the fast reply.
I was dragging folders from main folders on the laptop-desktop onto the external drive icon - to copy them across....
Your suggestion sounds very promising - I didn't know about 'cloning'.
Yes the idea is to backup the laptop -    I thought I would just move it all now, new - and then keep saving/dragging physically   across to the new drive myself each day or two...
Would this be the sizeof the internal hard drive = c.500 gb ?   =   under the HD icon on desktop is written :
" 499.76gb , 311.5 gb free "
I can erase and start agin on the new external drive - so this plan is to make two partititions, rather than the one at present, and make one of them 500 gb ?
I have found CCC [carbon copy cloner] googling - looks good.
When CCC site says it backs up the hard drive - would this mean all my files [over 100 gb] that are mostly in folders on the desktop, plus the others in itunes, iphotos etc found in the HD icon, would all copy across successfully [wherever they are in the computer ] ?
thanks again, hope you can clarify these things and then I will go for it.
It would be great and amazing if this 'lack of permission' message doesn't show up in the process of doing this ccc transfer - hopeful!

I just lost some photos stored on my iphone by saying "yes" to restoring my phone to the latest back up (this is a new phone having had the previous phone stolen). I (stupidly) didn't realise this would delete photos I had taken since the last back up. Does anyone know if I can recover these photos?

Unfortunately, if these photos had not been transferred off the phone in some way, before restoring from the previous backup, they are now gone.
Did you have iCloud's Photostream feature setup? If so, they may have been uploaded to that.

Please does anyone knows how to delete the "others" on the iphone becuase it take me a lot of spaace and i cant have anything i have 5 GB of othres coan some one help me please?

If restoring using your backup didn't work, you'll have to save as much of your data as you can (import your photos to your computer, sync your contacts and other data with iCloud, email things like Notes and Voice Memos to yourself, sync with iTunes to transfer all your purchases, etc.) and then restore it as new without using your backup.

I have to make a catalouge for my services as a financial planner.. earlier i used to do in MS publisher.. now i have a mac book.. can some one help me with some software info with which i can design a catalogue??

Depending on what your needs are, you may use Pages included in iWork or purchase it separately (usually there is an evaluation copy with any new mac, I guess) or try other publishing apps. I once used MS Publisher, I remember it was something like a more sophisticated word processor, right?
You may try the cheaper DTP iCalamus or Word for mac.

I upgraded my iphone to IOS 6.1.2 through itunes and lost some photos from photos album and SMS ( in fact everything went back to how it was on my last back up which was few weeks ago). How can I recover them? Thank you ...

Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

Lost Some Photos on iPhoto that I never deleted

I imported some of my pictures on an SD card, once I imported them I delted them off the SD card. Then I was editing the photos out of the "Last Import" section. I never placed them in an event or album... I should have obviouslly. Then I imported more photos and now they're not under the "Last Import" section. Where can I find these photos? I never delted them, I even cehcked the trash. Please help!
Thanks

Are they still in the Last Import album? If so Command (right)-click on one and select Show Event from the contextual menu.

In the last 36 hours my photos have jumbled within various albums. Random photos have attached at the end of an unrelated album, old photos have appeared again on Recently Added, some photos are missing but still on "collections". No date order

Within the last 36 hours my photo albums have turned into a real jumbled mess. Random photos have appeared at the bottom of my Recently Added album. In most cases it's a copy of a photo that was taken months or years ago so now it appears twice.. 200 random photos have appeared in an unrelated album. Some photos are missing completely. The date order is correct in some places and then it goes back and forth over the months and years. The "collections" appears to be okay. This morning when I went into the photo app About 50 photos that were permanently deleted 3 months ago reappeared on the Recently Added Album which I deleted again. if I delete these irreplaceable photos from the unwanted album it will delete the photo completely. Help please - this is so annoying and frustrating. I hate to think when I turn the iPad on tmoor row what else will have changed .

Quick Update:
I usually have my Mac laptop up with Messages running on it. As you know, it will receive the same messages you send/receive on your iPhone. I thought all my old photos would be there too, but they have all disappeared as well except for the last few.
Messages is supposed to archive all old photos to a directory called ~/Library/Messages/Attachments. On my mac, this was a 0 byte file that was created back in Jan 2014. As a result, none of the old photos got saved on my Messages app either. I looked at a Time Machine Backup and it has been the case since September (no earlier backups available). So, it's unclear how long this issue has been going on for my Messages app and how related it is to my iPhone problem.
In any case, if any of you use Messages, you may be able to recover your photos in that directory provided it didn't get trashed like mine did. I moved the file and created a new Attachments directory. Upon relaunch, Messages started properly storing new photos in there again.
Either there was a really terrible bug in the Apple software or something malicious has happened.
P.S. I'm running OS 10.9.5 Mavericks. There is a thread of people with this problem on Yosemite here:
No pictures are shown in Message om Mac
This seems like a pretty seriously terrible bug. I will be talking again to AppleCare on Wednesday and I hope they can escalate this.

IPhoto 6.0.4 Lost 3000 Photos!

Help, when my sister updated her iPhoto on Friday the update took a long time (spinning beach ball) then when it was complete it appears as if my library is gone. Well, not completely, out of 3000+ photos, the library now only displays 770 thumbnails with a question mark instead of a photo. The file info is there: name, file size and photo size, but no pic.
No, she didn't have her backup system working, but she does have the photos on her iPod. What we find tho is that we're not sure how to get the photos off the iPod... the photo folder from the iPod contains files that iPhoto doesn't know how to read.
HELP! This is a HUGE problem if 6.0.4 eats photos.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Check inside the iPhoto Library/Originals folder to make sure all of the pictures are there in the subfolders representing the rolls in the library. What's happened is that the library has been bitten by the Library6.iPhoto dB file bug. You can try rebuilding the library by launching iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and following the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all of the options presented.
If that doesn't work, I'm skeptical that it will but worth a try nevertheless, move the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library folder to the desktop. Then move the iPhoto Library folder to the Trash.
Now open iPhoto and it will ask you to create a new library. When that library is open, drag the Originals folder into iPhoto's open window. This will give you a new library with the same rolls as the old one. The roll dates, however, will probably be different on a number of the rolls. But you will have all your photos. In the future you might want to follow the tip and then end of my signature. It will help you avoid this. But it will have to be current.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

Camera Roll lost some photos - please assist

Greetings,
While browsing through some photos I just had an issue with my Camera Roll on my IPhone 3GS running the 4.0 OS. The last month and a half worth of pictures have dissappeared from the Camera Roll including over 135 I just took on vacation over the weekend which is not backed up. However, When I select "Places", all of the photos taken are still showing up under their respective "Places" pushpin. How can I get these images back in my camera roll and what might have caused this issue? I did just a few minutes prior save 12 images into my camera roll from an email that I sent myself. I emailed myself the pictures and had created the pictures myself so I can't see them being infected with a virus or anything.
Please help me with any advice to restore these images back to the camera roll where they can be retrieved. Thank You

Try a restart:
Press and Hold the Home and Wake Sleep buttons until the Apple Logo appears.
If this does not make all the photos recoverable, then you can try restoring from an earlier backup or use a "backup recovery" tool. You'll need to search for the correct tool, as I have not used any of them out there.
The backups are listed in itunes under Edit, Preferences, Devices tab.

IPhoto lost some photos after the update

Hi!
I Recently updated to iPhoto 11.
After some time I realized that iPhoto didn't show me events that I had before the update.
iPhoto don't show me the thumbnails. There is nothing there, no exclamation sign... Nothing. And when double click on the photo it appears a big exclamation sign with a black background. When I go to file/ reveal in Finder it cant find it.
I tried rebuilding the library with cmd +alt! I tried all the options. I also tried with iPhoto library Manager.
What else I can do? There are 5 years of photos. I also didn't have a backup with time machine.
thanks!!!

If the photos are missing and you don't have a back up well then your possibilities are very limited. Best I can suggest is to try ands if there are any recoverable files. Download File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store
