Iphoto pictures disapeared after trying to sync my droid razr motocast to macbook.

Help! I'm trying to get my pictures to reappear on iphoto but nothing is working.  Trying to sync my droid razr to my macbook has changed the format of the pictures and they no longer appear in iphoto. They appear as outlined squares with no photo.  I disinstalled motocast from my computer and got rid of it on my phone, but still no luck.  I tried pressing the option/command/iphoto icon together to reset thumbnails as is says to do in the help menu, but that does nothing.  Does anyone have a suggestion?  I appreciate any advice you can offer.

I found another post that addressed this problem and recommended Image Capture as the solution. I was able to transfer all my pictures from my iphone to the computer with Image Capture. Then, I just had to create subfolders and upload the pictures/short movies into iphoto in small batches (about 123 pics/movies at a time).

    I've got a question.
    all my iPhoto pictures dissapeared after downloading the new version.
    I still got some of them on my iPad which I've imported from my libary earlier before they all dissapeared.
    is there any way I can import them to my Mac?

  • I am trying to sync icloud to be on my macbook - help

    I am trying to sync icloud to be on my macbook (already loaded on my iphone). The icloud symbol is not showing in the system preferences to be able to move forward. Already checked for updates...

    What version of OS X are you using? It is recommended to have OS X 10.9 Mavericks although many features should still work with OS X 10.7.5 Lion.

  • Some iPhoto pictures missing after time machine recovery, were there errors reported during backup that I missed?

    Hello. I used time machine/time capsule to automatically back up my sytem over the last 3 years and I used the backups to recover my system to a new hard drive when the original drive began to fail. After recovery, I noticed there are missing photos in iPhoto.
    I'm curios where I should look to see why they weren't backed up, and why it wasn't obvious to me at the time that they weren't backed up.
    Does time machine explicitly call out issues when it can't back up a file or does it just squirrel a message away in the system log?
    I'd like to know because I'd like avoid this issue going forward.
    Full disclosure & History -
    The hard drive on my late 2009 27" iMac was exhibiting issues and started to go bad. No problem I thought, I'll get a new one and recover the system from my time capsule.
    The full recovery was initiated from the OS install media. Upon recovery, the system wouldn't boot. After booting from the OS install media and reinstalling the OS on top of the recovered data the system booted and seemed to retain almost everything. This may not be the best way to recover but it seemed to work.
    I additionally had to:
    repatch the OS
    reinstall iWork
    relicense MS Office (otherwise office seemed to be intact)
    When I started looking through my iPhoto libraries, there were some events with no pictures (mostly the newer events). I couldn't find the pictures on the time capsule either so I'm curios if there was anyway I could have known that backups weren't completing successfully. I had run a time machine incremental backup before pulling out the old hard drive and it seemed to complete successfully so I'm at a loss. I can understand that as the hard drive began to fail, there may have been issues backing up the data, but I somehow missed it if/when the problems were reported.
    Should I go through the old system logs that were backed up on the time capsule and look for backupd messages/errors? Going forward, how do I know if there are backup issues?
    It took me a couple weeks to realize the drive was failing. I had noticed that the system performance was getting bad, and the system would occassionally hang. It would come back OK after a restart. I thought it was because the filesystem was getting close to full (30GB left on a 1 TB drive) so I was chasing down cleaning up some data to make more room. There were suggestions in other forums to try and keep the filesystem 10% free.
    While moving data from the internal drive to a new external drive (to free up space) the system would hang. I eventually found a couple disk0 errors in the kernel log and I actually witnessed disk0 disappear while running an iostat. I'm thinking it took me too long to know the disk was going bad, and so the pictures I imported over the last 3-4 weeks may be gone.
    I still have the original drive so I'll see if anything else can be salvaged from it.
    Looking for some suggestions on
    1) the ability to know if time machine backups are successful and are in sync with my system
    2) the ability to know when there are hardware issues that I should be aware of
    If you got to this point, thanks for taking the time to read through all this.
    Regards,
    -mike

    Hi Mike,
    I just saw this post and saw no one has responded.  You might have figured out but in case, I wanted to let you know what I found out.  I had the same problem.  Hard drive failure, they installed a new one and my iPhoto pictures were missing.  I couldn't find them on Time Machine either which baffled (and frustrated) me b/c I just backed up my drive and I was missing pictures from over a year ago. 
    I found this article and it allowed me to at least find my pictures...so they weren't lost after all. 
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16029742#16029742
    As for why they aren't showing up in iPhoto or Time Machine, the lady at the Mac store said it is probably an OS conflict.  Which makes sense since I can see the actual pictures in the iPhoto content file (per the article mentioned above).  However, I didn't have my computer with me at the store to have a Genius person help me resolve the conflict.
    BUT, if you can find the pictures, then maybe you can reimport them into iPhoto?  Just a thought.
    Good luck!

  • My iTunes displays an error message after trying to sync iPhone

    I tried to sync my iPhone today so it would back up. In the middle of the sync it told me that "The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be synced. An internal device error occurred." Also while it attempts to do it, the bar indicating how much memory I have left, fills up and an icon tells me the iPhone is "Over Capacity by .18 GB," and the total capacity goes from 16 GB to 4 GB. I'm using iTunes 10 on Windows Vista.

    I have had the same issue with my 32gb iPhone 4 from 10 days after release, every time I exceed an as yet unidentified memory usage, I get the same problem have spoken to applecare and reported the problem twice. Have been to a genius appointment. But all they did was advise me to keep a record of when the problem occurs. which seems to be when I exceed 8GB of usage.
    I am in the third cycle of records and am slowly building up usage awaiting failure, when it fails for the same reason I will again report the problem and make a genius appointment, hoping this time they can come up with a reasonable solution having a 32gb phone upon which I cannot exceed 8gb of data is not ideal.
    Thought it was just me until I saw your posting anybody else experienced similar.

  • I am trying to sync my wifes iphone on her macbook and every time we do this it reverts to her old iphone and erases all photos, contacts, emails etc. I seem to get in trouble each time i do this. Any suggestions?

    I am trying to update my wifes iphone5 to her macbook. The macbook already has her old iphone4s information. I would like to set up a new id for her so that I can keep all of the information on her phone and get rid of the old stuff on her macbook now. Is there an easy way to do this now. I have an account on my laptop and dont sync with my macbook so it doesnt really matter to me with my iphone5, but i would like to start fresh with hers. It seems like every time I go to sync it i get a message that there is already an account under that user name. Can i keep the same user name and start fresh with what is on her 5.

    Dear Jody..jone5
    Good for you that can't update your iphone because I did it and my iphone dosen't work for example I can't download any app like Wecaht or Twitter..
    Goodluck

  • HT1386 I am trying to sync my iPhone 4s to my MacBook Pro... hours have gone by.. it continues to show a spinning beach ball

    So, trying to sync my phone - hours now of "Step 5 - waiting for items to copy"
    What can I do?

    "would it work if i backed up or restored my iphone on my macbook? "
    No.
    "The computer it is synced to is a dell"
    So, copy everything from the Dell to the Mac.
    Your iphone will be erased and the content replaced with the content from the new computer.  You need to amke sure that everything is on the new computer.
