I uploaded thousands of photos from my ipad to iphoto and now they are nowhere to be found. Where are they?

Hi! I just uploaded thousands of photos from my ipad to my iphoto on my macbook pro and when it notified me that it uploaded successfully and asked if I wanted to delete the photos on my ipad...I stupidly deleted them. But my main problem is that I cannot find these photos ANYWHERE! I searched every event and latest import and there was no luck. It's as if they were never imported in the first place. These photos are dear to me, please help!!!

-This is iphoto '09 version 8.1.2
And what is your MacOS X version?
BUT! I used "Find Any File" demo software and it helped me find the "photos" but they weren't in iphoto, but on my mac(still not too sure where it was found.)
Do you have "Find Any File" still open?
If you click one of the found images, it will show you the path to the image files.Could you post what you are seeing then?
Does the path start with your Home folder or outside? Desrcibe exactly the the names of the nested folders.
Now my new problem is that the photos that were uploaded(or found) are tiny and pixelated. What i'm hoping is that I found a cheap version of the photos that were uploaded or something,
Perhaps you found the thumbnails folder - if you can give us the path there, we may be able to find the matching Masters or Originals folder.

  • Hello, I recently uploaded about 250 photos from my phone onto iPhoto. However, when I go to view them, they have already been auto-cropped. It seems I must click "Edit," and then "Crop," and then expand the box to the fullest size. Any suggestions?

    Hello, I recently uploaded about 250 photos from my phone onto iPhoto. However, when I go to view them, they have already been auto-cropped. It seems I must click "Edit," and then "Crop," and then expand the box to the fullest size. I don't have enough time to undo this auto-crop with all 250 photos. Any suggestions?

    @SuperMan
    I noticed this as well when navigating through the photo gallery on my iPhone. 
    If you (and he) are asking about iPhone operation then you are in the wrong place - this is the iPhoto for Mac forum - there are forums for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch as well as iPhoto for IOS -
    I do not see any cropping in iPhoto on the Mac for either camera or iPhone photos (I use PhotoStream with auto import to get my iPhone photos to iPhoto on my Mac) - and given the way iPhoto works it is really not possible to have auto-cropping - the only thing that I see even close to that is that when you select edit ==> drop the default crop is slightly smaller than the photo - but unless you accept that nothing is changed and the photo is exactly as imported

  • If i import photos from my ipad to iphoto for mac, will deleting them from my ipad also remove them from my mac?

    If i import photos from my ipad to iphoto for mac, will deleting them from my ipad also remove them from my mac?

    No. They will remain on the Mac. That's one of the reasons why it's a good idea to import your treasured photos. If something happens to the iPad, you still have your photos.

  • I recently uploaded photos from my iPhone to iPhoto and the folder is there but photos are no where to be found. PLEASE HELP!!

    I have uploaded my photos from my trip to iphoto from my iphone and the folder is still there until events and photos but the photos are nowhere to be found. Please help!!

    Please explain and provide details
    What versionn of iPhoto and of the OS?
    the folder is still there until events and photos
    What does this mean? In iPhoto folders are organizational elements adn can not hold photos - folders hold other folders and albums (in the source pane on the left)
    Are you photos in the last import list?

  • I recently opened my photos with iphoto after uploading my old photos from my PC to finder.  Now that I have my photos in iphoto, is it ok to delete the albums of photos I have in finder?

    I had a problem importing my photos to iphoto when i first started using my mac, so instead I just saved all my pictures in finder.  Now that I have all my photos in iphoto, I'm not sure if its ok to delete the photos i originally uploaded to finder.

    Assuming that you have a default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state) then yes - everything imported is in iPhoto and the source photo can be deleted

  • I transferred some photos from my iPhone onto iPhoto and then the remaining, untransferred photos on my iPhone were deleted? Help!

    Hi, everyone! I don't know if this question has been answered, but I recently lost my photos on my iPhone.
    My iPhone memory was full, so I decided to transfer some of the photos on my iPhone onto iPhoto to clear up some space. (In hindsight, I probably should have transferred all of the photos AND I should have backed up my photos on iTunes regularly). Anyway, after transferring some of the photos, I selected the "delete imported photos" option on iPhoto. After unplugging my iPhone from my laptop, my Camera Roll looked like this:
    There were only about 5 photos left and these odd video icons that were inaccessible. I was only able to transfer photos from January to March 2013. I'm missing all of my photos from March to December 2013. I also checked the amount of space I had left on my iPhone, and the amount of free space I have now is a few gigabytes more than I had before the photos went missing, so I'm guessing my photos were deleted.
    I tried to look for a solution online, and I didn't really find any threads that talked about this specific problem, but I tried the suggestion of one article (albeit the article wasn't exactly about this problem) to delete these three files from my PhotoData. It made the inaccessible video icons disappear, but my photos are still nowhere to be found.
    Does anyone know why this could have happened or how I can retrieve my photos? Has anyone encountered this before and has found a solution? I would really like to retrieve my missing photos. Thank you!

    probably a question for the iPhone forum  since restoring photos on the iPhone does not involve iPhoto at all

  • I imported a ton of photos from my iPhone into iPhoto and after deleting off phone they're not in iPhoto.... HELP PLEASE!

    I have an iphone 5S, using version 7.0.4. I had a TON of photos on my camera roll which was taking up space so this evening I synced and chose to import all 600 photos into iphoto (version 9.5.1). It took a while to import all the photos as expected and seemed to be slowing counting down during the import. At the end it told me all the photos had been sucessfully imported, showed thumbnails (or similar) on a roll of them all and asked if I wanted to delete the photos from my iphone. As I was doing this due to a space issue I of course said yes. The annoying thing is that before choosing to delete I clicked on a random photo to import it just to check it was infact already imported. I had the message box telling me it had been imported and did I want a duplicate, apply to all duplicates etc. So I thought it safe to delete off my phone.
    Once they were deleted, I now can't find them ANYWHERE on my iphoto. Please someone help me, surely they are somewhere? I really hope so, i have some precious photos special once in a lifetime events with my children. Grateful for any help!

    It should. So they aren't shown in the Last Import smart album, right? Try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.

  • IPad updated and now youtube is nowhere to be found.

    I updated my iPad this morning and I noticed that YouTube was no longer on my device. I have looked in the settings at the restrictions and it is also not listed on there. I thought that maybe I just needed to download it from the App Store however it is not on there either. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Apple took it off from os6. Go to safari, go to YouTube.com and it will bring up something that looks very similar to what the YouTube app looked like before(opening trending videos) it will even ask if you want to add it to your home screen. Select "yes" and it will put a link on your screen. Just as easy as the real app used to be!

  • I imported a bunch of photos from my phone to iPhoto but now they're gone

    I just completed a huge import of hundreds of photos and a bunch of videos (maybe 10 GB).  It took forever.  At the end it said "your photos have been imported successfully" and "Do you want to delete from your iPhone".  I stupidly said yes and deleted them.  They're gone now but they're also not in iPhoto.
    Can anyone explain where iPhoto stores its data so I can go search for it manually?  I can't believe they're all gone.  There were a lot of things copied.

    I need a special tool just to access my own photos?
    I suggested "Find any File" because it is easier to use than the Finder's search - the results there will depend, on what you have included in your Spotlight index.
    To search using the Finder, open a Finder window; press the key combination ⌘F, and then set the search window to search "This Mac" and "Kind is 'Photo Library'"
    Only, if the library should have become corrupted, this may not work. And the search will not look inside the packages.
    The whole iPhoto library directory is only 556 MB so I guess the videos are lost for good.
    How is the "Importing > Copy items to the iPhoto Library" flag set? See my last post.
    If you imported with "store files" in there original location, the photos and videos will have remained on the card, until the crad has been erased.
    Is there a way to start iPhoto from scratch so at least I can start over and have it not destory all my data next time?
    You can create a new iphoto library, by using the command "File > Switch to Library > Create New".
    Is there way to import my photos and videos without using iPhoto?
    You can use the utility "Image Capture", that comes with every Mac  to import your photos to folders on your Mac.
    This program is horrendous!
    I never had problems with it and like it, but I understand  ....

  • I was importing photos from my iphone to iphoto and updating the phone software at the same time, when the update completed the photos were gone from the phone and iphoto said the photos were not imported for unexpected reason.

    if anyone can help me with this i would be so greatful, my son is one month old and my wife is heart broken the first month of his life has disappeared from her phone.

    I would post in the iPhone forum. While iPhoto was importing basically this is an iPhone question
    And in the future you probably never want to update and import at the same time. Basically nothing good can come from that
