Iphoto deleted all the photos from my photo library while I was in iPhoto. Is there a way to recover them?

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.

  • My 5 year old deleted photos from my ipod before I could sync...is there any way to recover the photos?

    My 5 year old daughter was looking at photos and videos that we took while visiting the zoo yesterday.  While looking at the various items, she somehow managed to erase a bunch of photos and videos from the device.  I have not sync my ipod since taking the missing media so I can't use Itunes to get it back.  Is there any way to recover these deleted items?

    Sorry.  They are gone.

  • A system recovery was performed on my pc. When I re-installed firefox all my bookmarks had disappeared. This happened more than a wk ago so the solution of recovery for 5 days didn't work. Is there any way to recover them from more than 7 days ago?

    On Jun 19 my pc wouldn't load Windows & HP decided to do a system recovery on my pc on Jun 20.
    Prior to the system recovery being performed all of my files & programs were burned onto discs.
    A few days after the recovery was performed I re-installed Firefox. It was the same day that the newest version of Firefox was released. I was unable to reload the version I was previously using (I believe that it was version 4).
    After re-installing Firefox I discovered that I lost all of my Firefox bookmarks.
    I thought that the bookmarks would be on the back-up discs but I can't find them on the system recovery files that I loaded onto my pc.
    I am using Windows 7 Home Premium. I have a HP G60 series laptop.

    Thanks for the info.
    I did find the folder as described above. Under Profiles the sub-directory I found was: t6jyvmtf.default
    There are 2 files in that sub-directory:
    blocklist - which is an XML document &
    bookmarks - which is Firefox document
    When I selected bookmarks the document that opened does not contain (to my knowledge) the bookmarks.
    The heading for the page is '''''Bookmarks''''' & right underneath that heading is '''Get Bookmark Add-ons'''
    Underneath that is a heading '''Bookmarks Toolbar Folder''' with the following under it:
    Add bookmarks to this folder to see them displayed on the Bookmarks Toolbar, Getting Started & Latest Headlines
    That is followed by the heading '''Mozilla Firefox''' which has the following underneath it:
    Help and Tutorials, Customize Firefox, Get Involved & About Us
    I checked each of the items that could be selected but none of them had my bookmarks.
    I also checked the blocklist XML document - it opened Windows Internet Explorer with what appears to be programming language (although I could be wrong). At the top of the document it says - ?xml version="1.0" ?
    followed by
    - <blocklist xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/2006/addons-blocklist">
    Should I be selecting one of the above to find the bookmarks & I'm just not seeing it?

  • How can I delete all the music from my iPhone and reinstall it?

    I am trying to delete all the music from my iPhone 5 and reinstall it.  The names of some of the albums and the artists did not import correctly from my CDs.  I went back into iTunes and made corrections, synced my phone and no changes were made to the music on my phone.  And two of the albums (I only have albums, not individual songs) are duplicated on the phone, though they are not in my iTunes library. 
    I have gone into iTunes, selected the device at the top right corner, selected all the music that showed up in the window - gone to the Edit menu, selected "all" and then "delete."  The list of tracks disappears from the device list.  I then synced the phone again, and the albums are still on the phone.  What am I missing, please?  I've even shut the phone down and restarted it, synced it again, but nothing changes. 
    Help, please?

    Follow the instructions here or here; the first set of instructions may require a power source other than a computer's USB port, so you should have one of these before proceeding. Your iPod is a fourth generation model.

  • How can I delete all the email from a user's account?

    I have a user account with a huge amount of mail (around 50K messages) that Apple Mail can't deal with... it constantly hangs and/or crashes whether I use POP or IMAP to try and delete all the mail from the client.
    How can I delete all the mail from the mailbox on the server? I don't want to delete the account entirely, I just want to empty everything out of it.
    Thanks!

  • Is it possible for deleting all the apps from the appstore which are showing up in the apps not on my phone section. Before I was able to delete them from itunes but now I am not able to find that option.

    Is it possible for deleting all the apps from the appstore which are showing up in the apps not on my phone section. Before I was able to delete them from itunes but now I am not able to find that option.

    You can hide them via your computer's iTunes : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
    The 'x' might not show on their top left corner (it might be invisible), but clicking where it should be should hide the app.

  • How do I delete all the contacts from my iPhone 3?

    How do I delete all the contacts from my old iPhone 3 without having to do each one individually?

    If you've already deleted "everything else"...then plug your phone into a power source and: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings.
    Make sure you plug into a power source first...not your computer...as on an iPhone 3G, this can take some time. When finished, all data will be gone.

  • How to clean /Delete all the jobs from Job monitor.

    Hi,
    we have done lot of testing in redwood. we have scheduled many jobs through redwood.we want to clean up the Job monitor now.we want to delete all the jobs from job monitor.
    1)Is there any standard system give Job definition to do so?
    2) how to delete jobs in waiting status?(next run is going to lock wait due to this waiting job status)
    3)how to delete all the Operator messages?
    Regards
    Rajesh

    Hi,
    Yes that was for individual job definitions but often if there are many jobs, most jobs come from only a few job definitions (SAP_AbapRun, SAP_CCMSJob, ...) so these options could help you already to delete most jobs.
    You could also create a filter showing all Waiting jobs, then select all jobs, right-click and kill all these jobs.
    Then a filter for all jobs in an end-state (Completed, Error, Killed, Canceled), select all jobs, right-click and delete them.
    Regards,
    Anton.

  • All the data on my Ipad3 is wiped out. is it possible to delete all the data from my ipad if somebody knows icloud-ID and password

    All the data on my Ipad3 is wiped out. is it possible to delete all the data from my ipad if somebody knows icloud-ID and password

    It sounds like a remote erase was sent via 'Find My Mac', to check please go to www.icloud.com and login. Is there any data there?
    If it was a remote erase only someone who had the ID and password could have done it. And in that case the data is gone, it is not recoverable I'm afraid.

  • HT204085 How can we delete all the data from iphone keychain of all the apps?

    Is it possible to delete all the data from keychain? Cleaning keychain, which delete all the item stored in keychain of all the applications on iDevices. Programatically can we do it?

    Depends whether you have selected Lock when Full or Wrap when Full for the Buffer Mode. If you have selected Lock When Full, the capture will stop when the the buffer is full. You can then Save the Buffer and download it in the form of sniffer file and start you capture again. This will over write the old data. If you have selected Wrap when Full, then it will continue the capture when the buffer is full. The oldest packets are discarded as new packets arrive.

    I accidentally deleted some photos from my camera roll on my iPhone. Is there a way to recover them?

    Also to add to what Ana said, if you've been importing http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 to your computer as you would a digital camera.  Then you can sync http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 them back to your phone using iTunes.

  • I deleted a song from iTunes and it deleted all the music from the artist?

    I was deleting a duplicate song from an album of an artist that I have a lot of music from and somehow iTunes deleted all the music from that artist. It's not supposed to do that especially when you're only deleting one song. Has anyone had this happen? It wasn't music that I bought from the iTunes store it was off cds.

    Hello Rabzzy,
    I would be concerned too if I was charged for the same song twice.  I recommend using the steps in the following article to report this issue:
