IPhoto 9.1 DELETED ALL my Photos
That's as the subject says. At the moment I'm restoring from a Time Machine backup. This NEVER happened before!
Pay ATTENTION!
Notice: I'm using iPhoto from day 1, never a problem.
Robert,
I had also a "normal" backup on another disk... Anyway now I can tell exactly what I did to break the library, I did'n do anything strange: After the app was ready, I just tried the new print products. Doing this the app became veeery slow. I didn't realize that I was on a folder where ALL the photos were present (I have more than 8000).
After 10/15 seconds I clicked out, noticing 20 photo into iPhoto trash; it went slowly to the trash, and I decided to empty it.
Even this operation was too slow, so I clicked cancel. In that very moment ALL my folders and albums showed a '0' as number of photos. No crash, no warning message. I closed iPhoto and I opened it again. No Photos.
So I wrote the this thread reporting the problem and restored from TM. Apple has big problems here with this program (that I love, btw).

I have a iPhone 5. In usage, it says i have 2.1 gigs used because of photos and camera. I have deleted all my photos via iPhoto and now reset the phone back to factory settings in order to try to solve this problem, to no avail. Both iTunes and the phone say that 2.1 gigs are being used, even though the phone now has nothing on it. What is going on?
Yeah it works fine over wifi the problem is when I try to use it over my 3G. It's really stressing me out now.

Hi,
iTunes is no longer syncing my iPhoto library to my iPhone 4. Everything was syncing fine when I first got the phone, but, over the past week or so, it's stopped syncing photos.
Now, after attempting to start from scratch by deleting all the photos on my iPhone, iTunes won't sync ANY photos from iPhoto back to my iPhone. I've restarted my phone, computer, etc., force quit all photo-related apps on my iPhone, and tried various combinations of turning iTunes' photo syncing on/off, switching photo sync folders, etc., all to no avail -- I can't get my iPhoto library back on to my iPhone no matter what I do.
Anyone encounter a similar situation? (I've already sent feedback to Apple.) Thanks in advance.Try deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache.

ok so somehow my sister deleted all my photos off photo booth and now all my photos on iphoto i cant view them i want to know how i can get my deleted photos back and how to view the rest of my photos please help !!!!
Phonebooth is in your home folder under pictures with Iphoto and Ichat. Deleting pigtures from phonebooth should not remove any from Iphoto library. Something else had to happen.

Iphoto 9.5.3 deleted all my photos
iphoto 9.5.3 deleted all my photos today and I can't find them anywhere on the hard drive
You may have accidentally booted into Safe Mode (Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?). This can happen occasionally, when you turn on a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse, while the Mac is starting up. In Safe Mode all non-standard system extensions and start-up items will be disabled. Advanced options of the graphic card will not be available, and iPhoto will be much slower. That would explain the slowness you are seeing.
Restart your Mac, and make sure, that all Bluetooth devices are turned on, before you restart.
Disconnect any backup drives or volumes, that might contain bootable partitions, before you restart, to be sure you restart from your main system drive.
oh and before I forget, the file size of iphoto in the application folder is 1.7 GB !!!
That is the current size of iPhoto 9.5.1. That is perfectly o.k.
But how large is your iPhoto Library in the Pictures folder? Do you keep your iPhoto library in the default partition in Pictures? -
I deleted all my photos on iphoto and want to restore them back
I deleted all my photos on iphoto library and then i deleted it in trash too and now I want to retrieve all those photos back! Is it possible?
Well that's a lesson learned.
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 -
I am using OS Yosemite 10.10.2. I was working in iPhoto 9.6.1 with iPhone 5 attached and moving items from iCloud to iPhoto. iPhoto suddenly deleted all the photos in my photo library and displayed a screen as if I were using iPhoto for the first time. Regardless of what caused this, is there a way to recover the lost photos? Thanks!
You might have accidentally used the Command+Option+Delete key combination described below to move them the to iPhoto Trash bin:
Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library
1 - from an Event or the Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc.: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the trash bin as above.
NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from an Event deletes ALL occurences of that photo in the library. -
Automatic Delete all duplicate photos in IPhoto ?
How can I delete all duplicate photos in my I Photo ? I have 6000 photos with many duplicates.
Where are you seeing these duplicates? In iPhoto or via the Finder? If it's in iPhoto then try using Duplicate Annihilator. It can detect and identify duplicated image files that have been imported into iPhoto.
If it's via the Finder then it's very likely you don't have true duplicates like you think you do. -

My iphone storage is full due to my large photo library. As I want to go on taking more photos, if I back up my phone to icloud, can I then delete all my photos from my iphone to make room for new photos? Or will the next time I back up lose all those previously backed up as it is a 'new' set of data?
I just want to find the easiest and safest way of not losing all my photos while being able to take more than my iPhones storage worth as it is already full - can someone help me please? I thought icloud was the solution to not uploading my photos to the mac but I'm not sure if the way it's going is working and don't want to delete photos or lose my phone and then find out what I'm doing isn't actually storing my photos permanently. ThanksHey EmilyEliza,
As you are clearly aware, it is important for you to have backups of your important data, including all of these photos you are currently keeping on your iPhone. While it is possible to use iTunes or iCloud to do backups of your iPhone, the problem becomes how to access those backups if you have deleted the photos from your iPhone. Once you have done the backup and then removed the photos from the iPhone, the only way to access the photos is by restoring the backups to the phone. See this article for information about backups made from the iPhone -
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
If you want to easily access the photos once they are off of the iPhone, another approach to this would be to import your photos from the iPhone into an application on your Mac, such as iPhoto. To learn how to do this, use the steps in this article -
Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
Once those photos are on your computer, it is still important to back up those photos to somewhere else, so you can be sure of their safety before removing them from the iPhone. Your Mac’s Time Machine application is one method of doing this -

By mistake I deleted all my photos from my Ipad Retina Display, I don't have backup. Please, how can I recover them?
If your photos are in iPhoto or on your computer, then they are not lost. If you delete them from the iPad you have a major problem. You can check this out: iPad Data Recovery - Undelete & Rescue Lost Files from iPad.

I accidentally delete all my photo in the "all my files".
actually I delete every thing in ALL MY FILES.
How could I back up all the photo?
and other data, such as movies and so on?
Do I need to go to Apple store to back up?
(time machine is turn off)If you don't have a back up then you'll need to use a file recovery app like File Salvage
To back up iPhoto you make a copy of the Library on another disk.

HT4906 Can I delete all the photos on my photo stream?
Can I delete all the photos on my photo stream as the same photos automatically go to my iPhoto library so why have both & waste memory? Not sure? Especially all my photos including photo stream photos are on my iPhone 5 & it's taking up so much memory. It's more of a memory issue on my iPhone 5, 32gb.
