I lost all my photos in iPhoto after I updated the iPhoto thumbnails.  How do I get my pictures back?

After I updated the thumbnails, my iPhoto could not even open, but when I did, all my photos were gone.  Is there a way to recover those photos that I lost?

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.

    Sorry.  Your info is gone.
    You chose to set up your iphone from your daughters backup.
    The iphone is designed to be synced with your computer regularly.  You should have set up syncing from day one.
    As you have failed to sync your information, it is gone.
    Very sorry.

  • Image capture deleted all my photos from iPhone without transferring them to the harddisk. So now I've lost 427 photos due to some data error it says. Please help me get my pictures back!?!

    I just wanted to back up my photos since I haven't done so since October 5th. I plugged in my iPhone and let Image Capture transfer the selected photos to the designated folder. Accidently I hit 'Import All but that's not the biggest problem. Apparently I had "Delete all after transfer" on AND 427 photos apparently "failed to transfer" as it said. I didn't think it was such a big problem, but then I noticed : what the ****.The delete all option was ON and now ALL my photos are gone, from the iPhone and NOT on the computer. Except a list of some old pictures I already have three backups and from the new ones between Oct 5 and this day I have a random selection >><!!!
    So please help me! How do I get my pictures back? iPhone Data recovery? Please please help. There are so many nice memories of this month and I'm so ****** that this just happened!

    If you have iCloud backup turned on or if you have recently backed up via iTunes you could restore the phone from either of those sources. Camera Roll photos are included in those backups. Be aware that doing a restore will replace the contents of the phone with the contents of the backup so you would lose anything new on the phone since the last backup. Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support

  • I seem to have lost all of my playlists and more than half my songs. How do I get them back? Dont know what I did wrong? Please Help

    I seem to have lost all my original playlists and more than half my songs. How do I get them back, where did I go wrong?
    If I was to press "restore" does this wipe everything off my library? I always thought that you could never loose songs? That they were always stored somewhere
    in there. Please help,

    If those tabs aren't in History > Recently Closed Tabs or Windows then they are probably lost.
    You can try to search them in the History if you haven't bookmarked them.
    Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting is a more reliable way to restore session data.

  • Can I revert back to an older version of iphoto after having updated my iphoto?

    Not unless you saved a copy of the old iPhoto Library. Otherwise, you can't go back.

  • IPhoto update from Mavericks deleted my library. How can I get my pictures back?

    Soo my iPhoto just decided not to find my photo library anymore.
    When I open iPhoto, it only opens a windwo where I can decide which library I want to open, but gives me no choices, the list is empty. Normally this window opens when my external HD is connected to my macbook since then there's two iPhotos available, but now it just doesnt find even one.
    I had another problem with the iPhoto on my external HD, i wanted to open it but a window opened to tell me that my library is used by another programm or that the library can't be read anymore. I was able to save those pictures by showing the contents and copying the pictures.
    Buuuut now on the macbook, when I do the left click thing to open the contents of the package, there are no pictures in it at all, no folder has pictures in it. When I copy the version from time machine, nothing changes. iPhoto has a size of 1.7 Gb, which is way to small. God dammit.
    How can I get my pictures back?

    Thank you Terence!
    Okay, so here the details:
    iPhoto Version 9.5.1
    OS X Version 10.9.1
    So here what I did, detailed. (pardon my english, I'm swiss)
    I downloaded Mavericks, few days later updated iPhoto (the iPhoto icon was orange before and turned blue after the update). All went well, until one month later, all of a sudden, I was not able to open my iPhoto on the external harddisk. A window opened to tell me that either my library is being used by another programm or that it can't be read anymore. To solve this problem iPhoto tells me to do several things, for example shut down the computer and then open iPhoto again, or set up my library again or open iPhoto by pressing command and alt. But non of those instructions helped. So I opened the contents, I looked for the folder with the masters of my pictures and copied the whole thing onto another harddisk.  
    I think I got those Pics saved, but I still can't open iPhoto on the external harddisk.
    Oh and by the way, the iPhoto icon on my external harddisk looks different now, it's three pictures in a row and the one on top shows a redish flower.
    So now, two days later I try to open the iPhoto on my regular macbook. A window pops up and says that I have to choose a library that I want to open. (iPhoto usually did that when I had my external harddisk connected since there were two different librarys then, one on my external, one on my computer) But now, instead of showing me the library's I can choose from it only shows nothing, no list or anything i could even choose. And then below there's this button that says something like "create a new library".
    So what I did:
    I open the contents and looked for the masters of my pictures, but there weren't any pictures at all. The iPhoto has a size of 1.7 GB which I think is too small for all the Pics and videos i stored in there.
    I tried to get the IPhoto from Time Machine, but nothing changed. Iphoto still's 1.7 GB.
    I opened the file "Pictures" in the Finder, but there's no such file like "iPhoto library", like it's deleted or something like that.
    So i think that I used iPhoto usually, nothing speciall. I imported Pictures from my iPhone or camera and left them there.
    Does that help?

  • Emergency! Please Help. I have an iPhone 4 with all my pictures from the vacation on it and I plugged into my computer and it sync'ed to my ipod.  all of my pictures are gone.  How do I get my pictures back?

    If all you did was sync your phone, and if you haven't synced again since this happened, you can restore your phone from the backup that was created at the beginning of the sync process (camera roll photos are included in the backup).  If you have synced again since this happened this backup has already been overwritten and your photos are lost.  Also, if you restored your phone from the backup of your iPod, rather than just synced, then your  photos are lost too.
    If you have an intact backup that contains these photos, do the following:
    Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences.  On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
    Connect your phone to your computer, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose your most recent backup to restore from.
    When complete, you can go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.

    Hello there, Lynn.
    The following Knowledge Base article explains and offers up some troubleshooting recommendations for issues with email acounts showing offline on Mac Mail:
    Mail (Mavericks): If a mailbox is offline
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14925
    Lightning bolt icons next to mailboxes in the Mail sidebar identify accounts that are offline.
    To take an account online, click the lightning bolt icon. Or choose Mailbox > Online Status > Take [account name] Online, or Mailbox > Take All Accounts Online.
    If you can’t take an account online, make sure you’re connected to the Internet. If a warning icon appears after the account name, click it for more information.
    Use Connection Doctor
    Some mailbox names can appear dimmed if you don’t have permission to access them, such as “public” mailboxes on a server, or if the mail server is unavailable.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

    Sorry you can't.  Looks like your phone restore to an older backup.
    future reference import your pics to your PC, that way you can always sync it back using itunes

    Without a backup, you cannot recover data.  This is a basic tenet of data.
    Did you perhaps have iCloud Photostream enabled?
