IPhoto upgrade deleted all my photos - how do I restore them?

Hello, I have just upgraded my iPhoto and it appears that this has deleted all my iPhoto library. Any advice on how I can restore my old photos?? iPhoto appears to have started up as a new user and doesen't have any record of any or my photos or albumns.
Many thanks

I also lost about 4000 photos, folders all empty, after putting older iphoto library onto external hard drive and opening it with updated iphoto.
found the photos in the pictures folder (although anonymously as jpegs, have to open them to identify them) but how do i return them to iphoto? and why are the other 5000 photos still visible in iphoto?
when i open the package contents in the iphoto library on the external hard drive there is a folder called originals which has all the photos in, but iphoto seems not to be pointing to it. hard to explain what i mean but basically the photos exist, i photo library doesnt see them, the other iphoto library on the computer that came with the upgraded version is fine.

Restore from your back up seems an obvious solution.

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?

My sister sync all my contact to her phone with my apple id and then delete all of them how can i restore all my contact?

It sounds like she deleted them all from your icloud account. If you have an iTunes backup, try this to possible recover your deleted contacts. http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4108
If that doesn't work, you might be stuck as Apple doesn't usually have a backup plan for intentional user deletion. You can try to call Apple though and see if there is anything else they can do to try and recover that deleted info for you.
Good luck and let me know if there are any other questions I can help you with.

Updated my iphone 4 to iOS 5.0.1 and then lost all my apps. how can I restore them?

updated my iphone 4 to iOS 5.0.1 and then lost all my apps. how can I restore them?

As long as the apps are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 . If you download them to your computer's iTunes you could then try restoring to your backup and see if that restores them and their settings/content back to your iPhone - a backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content/settings, so for the restore to work fully iTunes needs access to the apps so that it can restore them.

I erased my all mac data, how can i restore them ?

hi
i erased my all mac data, how can i restore them ?

If you don't have a backup the only way is through relatively expensive recovery software. If you want to do that, stop using the computer immediately before the data is overwritten.
Is it still in the Trash?
For software suggestions, see Kappy's post here.

IPhoto has deleted all my photos

Help me please, all my photos got binned from iPhoto after the power ran out on my Macbook, I didnt intentionally let the power run out, i had scheduled it to shut down but it didnt for whatever reason. Once i got power to it and switched it on i didnt realise immediately but on connecting my iPod to transfere a pic their was nothing, ive been to forums and looked up for help but nothing has worked. Please help.

l. I only have or had one (1) album of photos.
Do you mean by "album of photos" your iPhoto library or that you now are seeing only one album in your library?
Have you checked the obvious places for missing photos - looked into iPhoto's Trash, checked if Hidden Photos" are disabled in the "View" menu?
If your library is not showing all albums that should be there, try if repairing or rebuilding your iPhoto library will turn the photos up again, see Old Toad's post on how to do this:
Rebuild iPhoto Version 11
If all this does not help, then tell us please, what happened before your photos vanished.
Did iPhoto crash?
Did you update software or install new software, that you used for the first time?
Did you move your iPhoto library somewhere else? To a new drive or cloud storage?
Did you import new photos?
Did you delete any photos that were apparently not in iPhoto? For example with a cleaing and space-saving application. like Clean My Mac?

Upgraded iPhoto and lost all my pictures; how do I recover them?

I updated to the new Iphoto on August 12 and not I can't find any of the pictures I had. I can't find them anywhere on my hard drive. Does updating delete all your pictures?

No, updating does not. Within your pictures folder in your user folder, is there an iPhoto Library file? If so, is it large? If it is, your pictures are still there. Try starting iPhoto while holding option and command, this will rebuild your library. If they are not in there, go to a recent backup or TimeMachine and restore the pictures to the folder.

Image capture deleted all my photos from iPhone without transferring them to the harddisk. So now I've lost 427 photos due to some data error it says. Please help me get my pictures back!?!

I just wanted to back up my photos since I haven't done so since October 5th. I plugged in my iPhone and let Image Capture transfer the selected photos to the designated folder. Accidently I hit 'Import All but that's not the biggest problem. Apparently I had "Delete all after transfer" on AND 427 photos apparently "failed to transfer" as it said. I didn't think it was such a big problem, but then I noticed : what the ****.The delete all option was ON and now ALL my photos are gone, from the iPhone and NOT on the computer. Except a list of some old pictures I already have three backups and from the new ones between Oct 5 and this day I have a random selection >><!!!
So please help me! How do I get my pictures back? iPhone Data recovery? Please please help. There are so many nice memories of this month and I'm so ****** that this just happened!

If you have iCloud backup turned on or if you have recently backed up via iTunes you could restore the phone from either of those sources. Camera Roll photos are included in those backups. Be aware that doing a restore will replace the contents of the phone with the contents of the backup so you would lose anything new on the phone since the last backup.

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?

HT1689 I downloaded an upgrade and it deleted all my contacts, How do I get them back??

I downloaded an update for my iphone, I thought I backed up my phone, but I guess I may have done it wrong because when the download was complete, all my apps, music and ALL MY CONTACTS WERE GONE!! I figured out how to get my apps and music back, but where are all my contacts?? I'm freaking out, I have 17years worth of all my freinds, family and business associates GONE??? I went into my phone settings and tried to import my SIM contacts (which they were on there before, and now their not on my SIM either) WHAT IS GOING ON??? Why would this update delete from my SIM too?? I also tried to call Apple to get help, and the automated system told me I had to buy a service agreement to talk to a support person? SERIOUSLY??? This is rediculous... Can someone please help me?

The iphone stores nothing at all to the SIM. There were never any contacts on your SIM.
The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer regularly. You should have been sync the contacts to your computer (Outlook/Address Book) from the very beginning. If you have failed to do this, then they are very likely gone.

Restoring iPod and restored to new iPod instead of named iPod - have now lost all photos etc, as iPod account deleted by the looks of it - how do I get it back??

Restore from backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iTunes backup you iTunes purchases have to be in the iTunes library. You can redownload them by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Netiehr the iTunes nor iClouod backup included non-iTunes purchases.
