Is it possible to retrieve delated (trash) photos?

I deleted my entire (HUGE) iphoto library. I have been able to do a "find' ((.jpg) and
found a lot of the library's photos. Is there anything else I can do?
I have emptied both the iphoto and HD trash.
Btw, don't ask about backing up my system.
Some experiences teach lessons.

You won't be able to recover the Library. Even if you recover all the constituent files (and you won't) you will not be able to place them correctly for it to work. So, no matter what, without a back up the best you can do is start over from scratch.
You'll need a file recovery utility like File Salvage
You'll need to scan the disk for the deleted files. Many will be of the same or similar names. In such cases always choose to recover the largest file size, it's most likely to be the original.
Create a new Library and import the recoverd file.
Btw, don't ask about backing up my system.
Oh. Okay.

For reasons best left unsaid, in a recent rebuild of my iMac andTime Capsule, I lost all my photos. I do however currently have them on my iPad. Is it possible to retrieve all my photos from the iPad back to iPhotos (now Photos) on my iMac?

For reasons best left unsaid, in a recent rebuild of my iMac and Time Capsule, I lost all my photos. I do however have them all currently on my iPad. Is it possible to retrieve my photos from the iPad back to iPhotos (now Photos) on my iMac?

have the photos on the iPad been taken with the iPad camera or imported using the camera connection kit?
Or have they been synced to the iPad with iTunes?
You can download any photos to your mac by connecting the iPad by USB to to your Mac and import to Phots, but this way only photos from the Camera Roll will be imported. If your photos have been synced with iTunes, you can only mail them to your mac.
See: iOS: Syncing photos using iTunes
You can't reimport pictures synced from your computer to your device back to your computer. You can only import pictures taken by your device, or saved to it, from your device to your computer. If you need to retrieve synced photos from your device, email the photos from the device to yourself. Then download the photos from the emails to your computer.

HT201077 Is it possible to retrieve photos that have been photostreamed thru icloud to my mac from my daughter in Europe who has deleted 1000 photos from her ipad that I didn't know I had to save ?

Is it possible to retrieve 1000 photos that have been photostreamed thru to my mac from my daughter in Europe but not saved on my mac. These same photos have been deleted from my daughters ipad in Europe ?

If the photos have been deleted from Photo Stream, then they are gone unless they have been saved elsewhere. Are they not in the Camera Roll of the iOS device they were taken on?
Photo Stream is not a permanent storage solution. It stores up to the last 1000 photos taken on an iOS device for a maximum of 30 days.

HT201317 Is it possible to retrieve photos once the 30 days is up or once the photo stream exceeds the 1000 photo limit?

Is it possible to retrieve photos once the 30 days is up or once the photo stream exceeds the 1000 photo limit?

No. Photo stream photos are not backed up so there is no way to restore them. Only camera roll photos are backed up.

Is it possible to retrieve photo book after I accidentally changed theme?

I created a photo book with all the pictures and description. I ordered it. Then I wanted to order another one but in a different size. So I supposed that it was all going be saved and clicked on the change theme button where I can choose from the different sizes. Unfortunately I lost all the type editing. Now I don't remember which types and colours I used on the individual pages.Anyone knows if its possible to retrieve the book from my apple account? I need the same book what I already ordered just in a different size..Cheers.

I need the same book what I already ordered just in a different size..Cheers.
If you need to book in a different size you need to reformat it. The book, that was sent to apple was a PDF, and that cannot be used by Apple to create the smaller sized book.

If your Time Machine backup goes back far enough in time, you could try to restore the iPhoto library from before you changed the book theme and then try to find out what the colours and fonts have been.

HT201317 Can anyone tell me if it's possible to retrieve photos from my iphone4 that has been taken more than 30 days ago on to my pc?

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to retrieve photos from my iPhone 4 that I took more than 30 days ago on to my pc?

I had issues in 10.4.7 as well as 10.4.8.
My problems occurred at the beginning of 10.4.8, then many users brought light to me using WEP, which was not working that great. I changed my connections to WPA2 and my problem has disappeared. If my problem didn't resolve the way it did, I would have mentioned it the next time I visited an apple store.
The bottom line is that assumptions, complaining, and self diagnostics don't get many people very far and bringing the problem to apple helps them know the incidence of this problem, and helps them develop a reliable solution.
Though some users have reported the "cold shoulder" when reporting Airport problems to apple... I hope you weren't one of them.

I have over relied on USB sticks to transfer / store files, and have experienced a catastrophic failure of one particular USB stick,

General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

Accidentally cleared messages in messaging is it possible to retrieve ?

My daughter is away on 3 months backpacking and we have been messaging each other from ipad to iPhone (I am using ipad). She has sent lots of photos etc but through laziness I had not saved so it was one long string in messages. My wife has sent a message today and somehow has deleted (she may have hit clear all by mistake)
Is it possible to retrieve ?
Any advice would be much appreciated
Many thanks
Michael

Are you signed into iCloud? If so, you will have a backup saved in the cloud. Verify by going into settings/iCloud/Storage and Backup.....If so, and the date is prior to the deletion, restore from the iCloud backup : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
If that too is a miss, as Demo said, you are out of luck :/

I have an old Apple TV with built in hard drive is it possible to retrive Music and Photo's ?

I recently had a new Hard Drive fitted into my MacBook Pro and could not retrieve files from the old drive, however I do have an old Apple TV (one of the old ones with built in Hard Drive).
Does anyone know if there is a way of retrieving Music and Photo"s from the Old Apple TV onto my MacBook Pro"s new Hard Drive?

To the best of my knowledge I dont think thats possible unless you take the device apart and connect the drive inside to a Mac with a cradle.

Chances are some files are still on the drive, just marked as deleted, but not actually overwritten by new content (unless you've synced AppleTv with the new machine thta is - don't if you haven't).
While you could apply 3rd party hacks or dismantle the AppleTv to access the hard drive partitions, in ths instance it's not going to be enough as you would need to have some decent Mac data recovery software to scan the drive and look for deleted files.
As Winston suggests this is not something for the casual user and if the photos are very valuable consider an expert data recovery service, but it won't be cheap, and there are no guarantees you'd get anything back.

Is it possible to retrieve the broken motherboard and get a replacement.

Hello everyone, I'm desperate for help now. I just had a look with this forum today and realised many people have been suffering the same sudden death issue of Z3C.I know the original post was too long so I edited it
I experienced the same issue in last December, at first it was the motherboard issue so they got it replaced but when they tried to set it up the screen was broken, so I have no idea how long I have to wait. I just want to say It had been a joy and wonderful experience to use the phone so there were actually a lot of important information and memorable things kept in the phone which I would die for, I even tried to request that would it be possible to have the damaged motherboard back or could they at least try to restore the datas back to the phone. If anyone has done similar thing before and managed to complain through email please let me know the email I will be very appreciate!

I bought this phone in the end of last September and this is speaking from a proud loyal user of Sony products and I have owned wide range of products like Bravia television, home theater system, and Playstations, they have been a great pleasure to me. Before the release of Z3 Compact, I was desperately looking for a small sized phone with capability of good performance until I saw the advertising of Z3 Compact, so I had finally found a phone that best suited my every needs. I'd been enjoying every single feature of the phone but it was only 2 months since I bought it then the phone died suddenly when I woke up the next morning and I had an important meeting that day. Due to the problem of course I could not make it in the end. I had done everything I could but the phone could not be turned on at all, so there was entirely no way for me to back up everything before I sent it to repair. I could say it was very unfortunate for me because I have many friends who are still using high-end Xperia phones like Z2 and they are still running fine even until this day.
Finally I got a call few weeks ago so I thought I could finally get it after such a long wait. Instead I was told that it was the mainboard issue so a new one got replaced, but when they tried to set up the phone they noticed the screen was broken, so they had to deliver it again to the headquarter of repair centre in Kuala Lumpur. I have been waiting for nearly two months. Most importantly is that I have to study overseas next month so what should I do if the same problem happens again? Therefore I asked for a replacement and they said they would try for it and wait for approval from their manager but chances are very low.
For quite sometime I have been looking for the email of customer support but so far I could only manage to get the contact number, seriously Sony? Maybe it was my mistake but I just couldn't find the email contact except for regions like US and Europe since those regions are far more popular compared to where I am, a country that probably no one has ever heard of-Malaysia. I know it's no luck to seek for support from Sony Malaysia, so I was actually trying to look for international office for Asia region, but so far I could only find Australia and Hong Kong, therefore I gave it a try but it appeared to be an error link that led to nowhere.
Since I couldn't find the email at all I was given no choice but to call the customer support. I was really frustrated and unsatisfied with the solution they offered during the first call, saying that if the phone breaks again I can only bring it back from overseas to the repair centre in my home country just to get it fixed whenever I have the chance to go back.

Although I know I can't do anything with it but who knows maybe someday there is someone expert enough in IT can lend me a hand in such case. I know it's their policy to not return the damaged parts to customers but it's only my very little request even if they can't get me a replacement.
Since Sony is such a giant corporation, hasn't there been any solution they can offer since most users of Z3C are experiencing the same issue? Instead of raging my disappointments through internet which could spread false information and negatively affect the reputation, I hope this is the best way to solve my problems and let everyone knows.
I'm sorry if the post is too long but this is the best way to express my feeling. If anyone has similar experience or knows the email, please let me know and any help provided will be much appreciated.

Sorry to hear that, but this forum is for us, users, and what you need is someone from Xperia Care to find your motherboard and send it back, I don't think it'll be possible to retrieve any data from a broken motherboard.

I have an ipad 2 and just upgraded to IOS 8 I have never back up my photos and I lost all of them after upgrade is there a way to retrieve all the photos I lost?

I Have an ipad 2. I have never back up my photos ever since setting it up or ever since I bought it. Wiith all the previous upgrades that I have I never lost any photos and videos taken from the ipad itself. Now I upgraded to the new IOS 8 and all my photos and videos are all gone. Is there a way to retrieve the lost photos and videos?

Did you have I cloud that automatically back up you data to iCloud backup happens when you charge your iPad Have a look in Settings iCloud backup If you do then all your photos will be safe When you have iCloud if you buy a new iPhone / iPad And you use the same Apple ID all your Apps & photos will download to your new Device Cheers Brian

Is it possible to create a custom photo layout when creating a photo book in iphoto?

Is it possible to create a custom photo layout when creating a photobook in iphoto? How about adding text boxes?

Yes and no
You can not make a custom template nor can you modify one
You can do a page in other software and then print to PDF using the send PDF to iPhoto option and place the resulting image as a full page photo - See Old Toad's tutorial No.19 for more information.
