Iphoto sync loses pictures on computer

I have iphoto 2 from when I bought my G4. I wanted to import my 1300 photos from iphoto to my ipod video, but it said my iphoto was too outdated. So i chose what i thought was my only other option, to synchronize photos from my 'albums' section. But only 28 of the 1300 pictures transferred to my ipod, and there is nothing unique about those pictures from what i can tell. What's more, I lost those photos in my iphoto and I dont know how to get them back from my ipod to iphoto. If anyone could help me figure out how to get the pictures back to my computer and how to get my album on my ipod, I would be very grateful.

thank you little bug, but I did as the article and the other user said and no box appeared on my screen allowing me to rebuild my iphoto database. Maybe it is because I am running iphoto 2.0.1?
*I had backups of the 28 files and got them back. Now I'm concerned with getting my pictures onto my ipod but do not know how to do that.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. That is how it works
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • I recently received an I Pod touch 4th generation. I synced it to my computer and now all my pictures that I have ever taken are now on my Ipod. How do I delete pictures that are not taken by the Ipod but were synced onto the ipod?

    Hi megan21,
    Connect your iPod to iTunes, click on your device, and then click on the "Photos" page. If you don't want any photos on your iPod, make sure the "Sync photos from [photo application]" checkbox is unchecked. Or, you could select specific photos in that page to sync to your iPod.
    Hope this helps,
    O.C.

  • My iPhone is synced to an old computer, how do I get it synced with my new one and not lose all the music?

    I recently had to rebuild my hard drive. When I try to sync my iPhone, the iTunes app won't recognize the phone and gives me the option of erasing the content on the phone and syncing to the library that it currently has. I don't want to lose the content on the phone but I do want to add content from the current library. Any suggestions? Or am I screwed?

    Two options available to you.
    Option 1:  If the computer your previous sync is available then you can do itunes home sharing.  Transfer the files and then sync to the new computer.  Setting up home sharing http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4620
    Option 2:  If the computer you were previously syncing with isn't available AND you purchased the music via itunes you can transfer the purchases.  Transfering purchases http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2554

  • I restored my iPhone, then I set it up and used it without syncing it to my computer. When I plugged it in, it used back-up and now everything I did before I did the back-up is gone. Can I get those pictures back somehow?

    My iPhone was restored. I set it up without syncing it to the computer. I used it. I then plugged it into the computer. It used back-up and made it just like it was before I restored it. Everything I did before I plugged it in is now gone. Is there any way to undo that to get those pictures back?

    when you open the app store scroll down to the bottom it will display the apple id currently in use, change it to your normal apple id email

  • I have over 300 pictures on my phone...my question to someone iphone savvy is why, when I plug my phone into the computer is iPhoto showing no pictures?  I want to delete them for space issues.  Thanks

    I've seen this happen when the phone was encrypted... Other than calling apple/deleting passcodes I don't know of any solution.
    If you're keen on waiting, upload your photos to dropbox, that's the way I do it.

  • I have so many pictures on my photo stream and camera roll. I synced them to my computer, the ones on my photo stream. can I delete the pictures in my camera roll? and still have the pictures on my computer? or do i have to save them from icloud folder to

    Hi, i am an idiot when it comes to this. I have so many pictures on my photo stream and camera roll. i cant even take anymore pictures or even update to ios7. I synced my pictures to my PC, i think. can i know delete my camera roll or will my pictures disappear from my computer? im so confused!!

    If you delete photo stream photos from your phone they will be deleted from the my photo stream album on your PC.  Before doing that, be sure to copy or move them to a different folder on your computer.
    Deleting camera roll photos won't delete anything from your computer.  If you import them to your computer using your usb cable as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083, you will get an option to delete them from your phone after they are imported.

  • Syncing to a new computer: What will I lose?

    Hello, and thanks for any help in advance.
    I'm biting the bullet and syncing my phone to a new computer so that I can continue to add music and such to it via iTunes. I want to know what I should expect to lose in the process, since I can't seem to find a straightforward answer...
    I realize I'll lose all of my music on the phone. What else, though? Will my contacts disappear too? I'm assuming the synced photos will be gone as well. I ran a back up, but I'm not sure what that does, exactly. What about my text message and call history?
    I'm just looking to find out what I'll lose and what will still be on the phone after this process is done, so that I know now whether or not I need to figure out a way to save the data I may lose.

    Before you sync to the new computer, just copy all the tunes from your old computer to the new one and build playlists on the new one. Copy your contact info and calendar info as well. Photos too, if you sync them. Then when you sync your phone to the new computer, tell it to sync the new playlists, and the contacts and calendar. At the end of the sync, you'll have all the stuff you had before -- no need to lose anything at all.

  • Syncing to a new computer - How much will I lose?

    My original computer that I synced my Iphone too just died and for all practical purposes is unsalvageable.
    If I sync it to another my computer (my laptop), will I be able to preserve my contacts? Will I be able to make a backup of it otherwise (text messages, etc)?

    You will lose your music unless it was purchased from the iTunes store. To retrieve it to the new computer first open iTunes and turn off automatic syncing. Next Authorize it by choosing *Store/Authorize computer*. Then put the iPhone in the dock. After it is recognized choose *File/Transfer purchases* from iPhone.
    If you have music that was not purchased from iTunes there are 3rd party products that can retrieve this music; do a web search, as this is not officially sanctioned by Apple.
    For Calendar and Contacts make sure there is at least one entry of each on the new computer before you sync. Your contacts should then sync to the new computer.
    Other data will be backed up on your new computer.

  • Why did i lose all of my sync bookmarks on my computer?

    I came back to work on monday and all my bookmarks are gone. Recently synced bookmarks on new computer with old computer. Bookmarks were synced successfully...then i erased everything on old computer. Where are my bookmarks???

    You should have disabled Sync on the old PC before deleting the bookmarks on that old PC.
    You should have a backup on the new PC that can be restored. <br />
