Lost iPad photos, while downloading to iPhoto.

Hello Apple Community! I have a delicate situation for itunes, iphoto and ipad savies to help.
I downloaded some very dear and important photos (out of many more) from my iPad mini into my MacBook Pro, using iPhoto. When I finished and unplugged (I was careful to eject the device) all my videos and photos were missing on my iPad mini. All of them even the ones that I did not touch. Nevertheless something curious occured: if I use iTunes to browse the iPad mini, even when I do not have any sign of the photos or videos on iTunes, in the data bar down the window or dialog box the entire photos and videos and all other stuff appears as colored bars as if nothing had happened.
The iPad mini works with IOS7 and the MacBookPro with Mavericks 10.9
I am a new iTunes user and I am not used to certain features. next to the color data bar there are two buttons "revert" and "apply". What do they do? (I do not want to screw up)
So can enyone help me recover all my photos and videos please???

No, the photos do not appear on the Mac or on the iPad while browsing them through iPhoto.
But curiously, if I open iTunes, when looking at the data bar at de bottom of the dialog it says the whole Photos are there. The bar indicates the presence of the whole 8202 photos in an orange color bar. So why iTunes display such information but iPhoto do not recognize it?
I downloaded some photos first, like 1000 and I wanted to download the rest later. Then I disconnected the device being careful to eject it properly. The computer asked through a dialog if I wanted to erase the photos I just downleaded, and I clicked yes because the whole operaton was indeed to make space to take more photos because the memory was almost full. Yesterday, half an hour from the downloading I realized the whole rest of the pictures were missing. Some videos and just one photograph remain and it seems I lost all reamining photos on the iPad.
iPhoto displays a message "All photos have allready been imported". What do you think is happening?

According to this support site, books are available for free re-downloads everywhere that Apple has a store - every country that they sell content in.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5085
This does not include audio books though. So your purchased books should appear in the purchase tab of the iBook Store. See if closing the app completely and rebooting the iPad makes them appear again.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Lost photos while editing in iphoto

I was editing an album on iPhoto (while not connected to Internet, dont know if that matters) when iphoto crashed. When I reopened iphoto only the first (of many imports) import's photos were showing. I don't really want to reedit all those lost photos but when I plug my camera in it says that all photos were already imported and even shows the little previously edited thumbnail as an option to replace if i try to reimport (which I cancelled since those edits must be somewhere then) But why can't I view them anywhere in the library??

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with
Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File â Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

I lost all my photos, while repairing the Iphoto library lost most photos.. help!!!

Hi all!
It seemed I made several stupid choices while I was trying to repair iphoto.
1. Importing photos
When I was importing photos, Iphoto said there's not enough space in my startup disk. And it showed me some choices, and I don't exactly remember what I chose(was really tired after work)/ I think I did something and relaunch or something. And I think I forced quit when it seemed like not responding.
2. All photos were gone
When I reopened Iphoto, all photos were gone(it seemed like.)
3. The photos were there
So I googled like a maniac, found apple discussion. Checked iphoto library, and package contents. The photos were still in Old masters folder. The library was nearly 354gb or something.
4. Backing up
So I found a way, "repairing database". I tried follow people's suggestion, back up before you repair. So I was trying to back up with my timemachine, but again it was saying it's backing up for 459 something GB, and I didn't have enough space in my hard drive, so I didn't back up.(stupid choice).
At this stage, the photos were still there.
5. Repair database
Then I was trying to repair or rebuild database, and......when it was loading my enormous amount of photos 130,000photos, it was saying there might not be enough space in my startup disk, DO YOU WANT TO CONTINUE? and I said....yes.
6. Importing photos
So when it was doing its job, importing from the library, several hours passed. Then it said there's not enough space, and it stopped.
7. Iphoto library,,,,,,nothing there.
So now,,, the iphoto library is 1.47gb.....instead of 375 something gb.
It seems the all photos are gone.
8. the luck is.
I backed up on 28th, January. And photos from 30th, January are still in my SD card. So if I go back to 28th of January, I will only loose one day of photos.
But I don't want to loose them. I came to Kenya to build a children's library transforming an old bus, and the lost photos are when we are painting outside of the bus. The most fun part.
9. HELP
So please help!!!! I want to do all I can do to bring those photos back.
10. additional information
I deleted many files to have some space. When I check about this Mac, the storage shows back ups are 400 something GB.. why???
Thank you so much! Asante sana in advance.
Bobae.

The fact that the original files are in the "Old Masters" folder is an indication that you got bit by a bug in iPhoto that occurs when an import is interrupted.
I recommended a possible fix to another user but haven't heard back from them as to whether or not it worked. It consisted of:
1 - move the "masters" folder to the Desktop.
2 - rename "Old Masters" to "Masters"
3 - rebuild the library with iPLM with the option to scavenge any orphaned photos.
It is a long shot but worth a try.
If that doesn't work you'll need to start over with a new library and import the contents of the "Old Masters" folder, several sub folders at a time.

Lost photos while downloading

My friend has a new MacBook and a Sony CyberShot camera. She connected the camera to the Mac (she had previously downloaded photos from this camera to this Mac successfully) and was trying to download photos. Nothing was happening and she disconnected the camera without ejecting the device properly. Now the photos are no longer on the camera and we can't find them on the Mac either - searched DSC and jpg terms with the date but no luck.
Thanks for any suggestions - these were 200 photos of a family reunion.

Never mine. I used Repair and it restored them.
From now on I will take the advice of another poster and never delete my camera photos from IPhoto. I will just format my card, something I do anyway.

My most recent photos i downloaded in iphoto is not showing up in my events??

I just downloaded over 700 photos, using most recent software update in iphoto, i am unable to view it when i look at "events" folder.
any recommendations?

Probably
do they show in last import? Probably they do - then you have one of two problems
1 - incorrect event sort - correct under the view menu ==> sort events
OR
2 - incorrect date/time setting on the camera - correct using the camera menu to set the correct date/time for future photos and the ones already imported correct by selecting them in the last import and using the adjust time/date command

Lost all photos and albums in iPhoto version 9.4.3

Hi all, I'm currently using iPhoto version 9.4.3.
Didn't do anything out of the norm but lost all my imported photos from my iPhone that I've painstakingly put into albums.
Only thing I did differently was shutting down my laptop cos I was catching a plane. After restarting my laptop and iPhoto, I realised all photos and albums were gone.
Read solutions abt rebuilding libraries but didn't work.
HELP! Not sure what to do next, so anything suggestions will be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

Lost new photos while restoring backup

Hi,
I recently switched from an iphone 4 to iphone 5. Before changing the phone I had taken a backup on iTunes on my PC (Windows 7). After getting the phone 5, I used it for several days without restoring the backup from iTunes on my PC. I had taken some photos during this time. When I recently connected my phone to the PC, iTunes prompted me if I wanted to restore backup. On clicking 'Yes', I got all my old photos in the new phone but lost all the new ones I had taken. It was so frustrating.. as if you are back to your old phone!!! Are there any ways to recover the new pics?? Please let me know, I really need those new pics!!

Same problem. My wife lost her iPhone 3Gs while on vacation. Purchased iPhone 5 on the trip and took pictures with it. When we got back home I clicked restore from a previous backup and all the pictures disappeared.
I wonder if Apple is reading this thread. ?????????
NO... What did you expect the phone to do when you restore from a backup.
You should've imported the new pics to your computer as you would a digital camera..

HT4101 Lost all Photos while Using Camera Connection Kit to Nikon D70 -HELP!

After using with my Nikon D70, the photos are not on my camera - says now incompatible file format. And they cannot be seen on iPad. on iPad there is a gray box that says 'jpeg' in it. Where are my photos? Can I get them back?

You can't export any type of files using the camera connection kit.
There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.
Another option:
Expand your iPad's storage capacity with HyperDrive

Help... lost ipad photos

Any help would be appreciated as I'm pretty ****ing steamed right now...
Took hundreds of photos/videos on my ipad while on vacation. Just got home couple days ago and noticed that all of them are mysteriously gone now.
I don't recall doing anything with my ipad since I got home other than syncing some music from itunes. I did not sync the photos on to my PC. Didn't do anything idiotic like hitting the 'delete all' button either.
Can someone please help me troubleshoot. Don't know why the **** this happened, this is a ****ing joke.
My last restore point was from before my vacation, so I don't think that's an option.
iPad mini iOS 6.1.3, iTunes 11.04, Windows 8, if it helps.

Everything (apps, music, contacts) is still there. Don't know what box I could have accidentally checked on the sync.
A detail that may not be irrelevant is that some of my apps now have the "New" tag attached to them when I know I definitely have used them before. Did my itunes somehow sync OVER my ipad files and in the process wipe out my photos?

Photos not downloading to iPhoto after 1.1.2 update

Can anyone download pictures from their iPhone to iPhoto after updating to the current software 1.1.2? I have 738 photos from the camera and 314 pictures in my library. Is there anything I can do to fix the problem and download my photos to my computer?

Does this mean you unselected your albums set to sync with iTunes?
Once you did this were you able to re-sync with folders through iTunes, and did the camera and downloading return to normal?
Or, is this an issue with the software that if you are syncing with folders you can not use your iPhone as a camera if you want to ever download your pictures?
See my post for what I think may be a similar issue:

Hopefully this will solve it all. I'll try later tonight.

Can I use my iPad 2 while downloading os 5.1 to it over wifi?

I found out that it takes between 15 - 20 minutes to update to OS 5.1 over wifi on my iPad 2. While the iPad is downloading the new update can I still use the iPad to play solitaire or listen to Sirius? Once the download is complete and the installation begins I understand I won't be able to use my iPad. Will the iPad download the update in the background? If I play games or listen to Sirius will that affect how long the download takes? Just wondering.

Personally I let mine just get on with the update and didn't use it during that time - using it might slow the update down, especially if you are using an app that accesses the internet. 15 to 20 minutes isn't long to wait until using again.

What happened to the "Quickly view original photo" while editing in iPhoto?

I think it used to be "spacebar" or something in iPhoto 9, it quickly switched between the original photo and your current changes which was very useful.

Lost parents photos while upgrading OS after a few drinks

Upgrading to OS 10.6.8 erased my parents iPhoto, is there a way to get it back or must I buy it, and lose their memories?

Your question seems to be that you lost "both" the iPhoto App "and" photograph(s). Hopefully, your parents have a backup of their data on a Time Machine or another external hard drive. if so, you should be able to restore both of these items from that source.

Syncing and lost iPad photos, apps and email. Help please

Just tried to update my mums ipad2 with iOS5. Connected her ipad to my computer. Went into itunes and entered her apple id and password and then selected to upgrade to iOS5. When i went back to her ipad everything had been lost. The iPad is now coming up under my name when conneting. How do I retrieve her information. And change it back to say its hers. Any help appreciated???

I never heard of this before. But when you installed was it on her computer or yours. You should keep the device connected to just one computer as a general rule. It thats not the problem then I don't know. You might be able to simply go to her library on the computer of and drag and drop the apps music and everything else back into her ipad. If that doesnt help I recommend trying to scedual an apple genuis bar appointmemt.
