IPhoto messed up my photos. How do I get them back?

I inserted my SD card and it imported half and the other half turned out to be blank. This has happened with other photos from over a year ago, I just went back to go look through them all and they are ALL blank square blocks....WHERE ARE MY PICTURES?

Most likely your library is corrupted some how. Launch iPhoto while holding command and option and rebuild your library, this may bring back the photos you can no longer see. Make sure you backup up first.
If that doesn't work, try restoring the last backup you had before the error presented itself.

Restore from your back up seems an obvious solution.

Have you synced back up to your iTunes account? This happened to me too, and when I synced back up with iTunes, all of my photos were backed up to my iTunes account and loaded back onto my iPhone.

The Apple Store recommended wiping and reloading software on my Mac Mini yesterday. In the process I lost iMovie, iPhoto and Garage Band. How can I get them back?

I took my Mac Mini to the Apple store yesterday since I was having trouble with difficult to read text. They recommended wiping the drive and reloading it. I lost iMovie, iPhoto and Garage band in the process. How can I get them back. The App store says they are already installed.

What I missed was that I needed to select "Purchased" rather than using the normal listing of items. Once I went to the purchased list I could easily download the various software.
Thank you all for your help.

I reseted my MacBook Air, and now I don't have my iphoto and microsoft office anymore, please help me..how can i get them back?

Thank you for your question,
If you have the installation disc for iLife and MS Office, then you can install it from there. With iPhoto, if you downloaded it from the Mac App Store, you can redownlad it fron the "Purchases" tab.

I recently updated my iPhone 5 with the latest update. when it restored, it deleted about 90 photos. how do i get them back if the phone wasn't backed up

please please help. today i tried to update my iphone 5 with the most recent update and it crashed. i had to restore it but i noticed that about 90 of my photos were deleted. i didnt back the phone up but i need to recover those photos. how can i do it?

If it's in recovery mode, the data is already gone. Why did you never back up your important data?

I deleted my thumbnail photo how to I get them back?

I mac desktop Mac OS X I Photo. I deleted the thumbnails to my I photo. AlI I get are blank images until I click on the images. The photos are still there. I thought the Apple store said to hold down the command and alt button at the same time and it would get me to a screen where I could restore but it is not working.

Put your curser on the photo and double click and it should bring it to life.

Messed up i-Photo, how to I get it back!

Hello,
One day (completely randomly-I hadn't installed any updates or anything like that) my i-photo stopped opening, it had a message about my library not working with the current update (something along those lines-I'm afraid I didn't write down the message as I should have), when I would click on that it would then lead to a message saying my current i-photo library was corrupted or wouldn't work and when I would click on that it would lead to a message saying it was trying to save the iphoto library to time machine and it would sit on the blue/white waiting bar for hours. What I should have done at this point is connect the external hardrive I use for time machine. What I did instead was look for other people having the same issue. I found what I thought was a solution-and installed an iphoto seed update package. That made the problem worse, as I don't have the latest version of mac that the seed was designed for- I have 10.6.8 and the iphoto is now asking for 10.9 or higher. Help!

There is no iPhoto version 9.4.7 (iPhoto goes from version 9.4.3 to version 9.5.x) - about this Mac gives you the OS version - nothing about iPhoto
And earlier you stated that you have OS X 10.6.8 --- to help we need to get the correct information about what you have
What happen when you select iPhoto in the applications folder and get info?

HT201317 icloud has deleted all my photos - how do I get them back

I started an iCloud account last night as I wanted to be able to get videos off my phone and share them.
This evening when I checked my photo gallery on my iphone all the photos I'd taken over the last 2 and a half years on my iphone had disappeared. Instead my photo library now seems to be populated by photos I've taken on my digital camera.
itunes says my phone was last backed up to the iCloud this evening so I'm worried that all my photos have disappeared.
This is extremely frustrating. iPhone and apple don't make it easy to get your content off the phone (for instance there doesn't seem to be a way to get photos off the phone without iphoto and I can't get it on my operating system).
Is there any way to get my photos and videos back?

All of my pictures are gone from iPhoto after installing Yosemite..how do i get them back?

I have tried everything to get my pictures back after installing Yosemite on my laptop. Are they gone? Or is there a way to retrieve them?

Define "everything" because if you've tried everything then your last recourse is:
1 - restore your backup copy of your iPhoto Library created just prior to your Yosemite upgrade or
2 - Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

I just downloaded Yosemite and all my iPhotos have disappeared! I tried importing them from the photo library but it said there wasn't enough space on my hard drive which is rubbish, because they were there before. How do I get them back to iPhoto?

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

I'm running iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. My collection of 25,000 photos on iPhoto library is completely empty. How can I get them back?

I'm running iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. My collection of 25,000 photos on iPhoto library is completely empty. How can I get them back?
I dragged one photo to the My Pictures folder in Finder. I knew it was just one photo because it was the only one highlighted in yellow. When I saw it in Finder, it was labled iPhoto. I thought it was the wrong picture, so in Finder I deleted the file. When I got back to iPhoto, EVERYTHING was missing. Events, photos, recent, and even trash. At this point, I went into my Trash. I searched for iPhoto and iPhoto was there. I opened it and it was still empty. All I want to do is to get my collection of photos back!

Best solution is to load your backup from before you did this?
Where did you drag the photo from?
Have you tried dragging it from the trash to the desktop? What size is it?
What size is your iPhoto library in the pictures folder?
