Lost photo albums
After upgrading to a 5s last year I used the back up restore to sync all my previous data from my 4s. On looking through my iPhone I notice several photo albums missing thinking that they were saved on my iTunes on the computer. As I now want to upgrade to the iphone 6 128gb so that I'll have enough storage for all my data I looked for these missing albums on my computer but they are not on there is there anyway I can get these photos back from a previous back up?
Were they not synched to your computer as recommended? Just synch them back.

so a while ago, i had a whole photo album from my birthday party on my ipod, one night, i put on to charge on my computer, and when i looked the next morning, the whole album was gone... no trace of it on itunes, on my ipod, just nothing... i was hoping someone might be able to help me get this lost photo album back... btw i think this was around last year not too long after i first got my ipod...
The photos came from your computer in the first place. They should still be there.

I lost a photo album when I did a system restore. any thoughts if its recoverable? I had done a back up to my computer and my photos and my other album came back, just not this particular album.
If the photos were synced to your phone from your computer or photo stream they wouldn't be included in the backup. The backup only includes camera roll photos. If these were not in the camera roll you would need a different backup source to recover them.

On my .Mac homepage I have two photo albums. The first, at http://homepage.mac.com/jnelms/PhotoAlbum2.html, I can locate and edit. The other, at http//web.mac.com/jnelms/iWeb/Site/HAG.html, I cannot locate, nor edit. If you have any suggestion where it is hiding, I would appreciate hearing from you.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2 Mghz Intel, 2 GB RAM, 120GB HDThank you for the information, James. I did find the files in the location you mentioned; however, there does not appear to be any way to edit the captions under the pictures, as I need to do. There are two files for each picture, one labeled (for example) "DSCN0064.jpg" and another "DSCN0064_framed.png." The only place captions are shown is in the file "slideshow.html," which does show the entire slideshow, but does not permit editing. Any suggestions?

Sync'd and lost photo albums - help!
I sync'd my iPad Air with my PC before leaving home and added several Albums to my Photos. I do not have the photos in these albums on my Laptop. I took some photos on my camera, created a folder on my laptop and copied these new pics into it. I then sync'd my iPad using my laptop and iTunes with the intent of copying the new folder of pics to the iPad (I selected just that folder in the iTunes sync for Photos). The sync did copy this folder to my iPad as a new album, but it also deleted all of the albums I put on the iPad from my home PC. How can I get them back? I do not have an iCloud backup....
That is the danger of syncing with two different computers given the way that iTunes syncs photos.
When you sync with photo folders specified in iTunes it places just those folders on the iPad and deletes any other synced folders. You must always specify all the folders in iTunes, even the ones that are already there.
You can restore the lost folders from your PC when you return home. Note that you will lose the folder from your laptop when you do this if you don't copy that folder from your laptop to your PC first. -
IWeb 09 major bug - losing site - believe it's photo albums and photo pages
I have repeatedly lost my site now 3 times since upgrading.
The problem appears to be when editing photo album pages with a few photo albums on them and then rearranging those albums and pages between sites.
I can't be more specific at this stage, as it's happening relatively randomly, but am curious if others have discovered similar problems.
FWIW I am recovering by using time machine and backups.I too had major problems with iWeb '09. I was unable even to publish to a local folder without getting an error message "Unknown error" (really, really helpful). I published a site created and maintained by iWeb '08 four times to separate local folders within an hour, not changing the site at all during that period. Only about 90% of the contents were published. Typically what was missing was some photo albums and blogs, although not always the same photo albums.
After some careful poking about in my MobileMe-published site I noticed that some particular pages were not publishing to a local folder. Upon investigation I discovered that some of the photo albums, whilst appearing in the sidebar in iWeb '09, did not appear on the main albums page. It seems that, for whatever reason, iWeb '09 had lost the links to these. I deleted the pages from the sidebar and then turned my attention to Blogs. This was the other area where I noticed that publishing seemed to have a problem.
One of the problems seemed to be that there was a link to a, by now, 'lost' photo album. Editing the link and then re-publishing to a local folder at last cured the problem. I have yet to publish to MobileMe, but at last things are looking good in the 'test' phase.
It seems that, unless your iWeb '08-created site was relatively simple, some editing HAS to be done in iWeb '09 before publishing. I hope that this answers more questions than it poses! -
Hi There,
A month ago I had 3gs with 4.1 OS version and I synced all my photo albums from my old laptop as I have planned to sell it off.
I sold my old laptop and accidentally kids at my home have pressed reset button and my phone got locked, now I got my phone permanently unlocked with a vendor and updated my OS to 6.1.3 version, thinking that my photo can synced again when I connect to Itunes, I bought my new laptop installed Itunes authorised it, it was able to restore my camera roll pics but not my album.
Please help me in restoring my lost album.
Thanking in Advance.I'm sorry, but unless you hace a backup of your pics somewhere, they are gone. Photos synced to your phone are not part of an iPhone backup, & the photo sync is one-way: Computer to Phone. When you synced to a different computer, these photos were erased from your phone...by design, iPhone syncs iTunes content with one computer at a time.
Sorry, there is no way to recover this data. -
When I updated to iOS 8.3 I lost all shared photo albums on my iPad Air. Other devises which I shared to still have access to photo albums but my iPad does not, therefore I can no longer add or delete to shared albums. I can create new shared albums.
Hello JimS19,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPad. If you are having issues accessing your Shared Albums from your iPad (but not from your other devices), you may want to double-check your iCloud Photo Sharing configuration as outlined in the following articles, just to make sure it hasn't changed:
iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ - Apple Support

I have lost my photo albums on my iPad Although the photos are still there. How do I get the albums back?, I have lost my photo albums on my iPad Although the photos are still there. How do I get the albums back?
It's version iPhoto '11. I sent the photos to the trash from in the resident iPhoto application, but not to the iPhoto trash, but the OS's trash in the bottom right task bar (Finder Trash).
Realizing what I had done, I dragged the picture folder back into the "Pictures" folder under my name in the Finder. I also dragged the iPhoto Library file back, but it said a new one had been created... I still attempted to replace the new with old iPhoto Library file.
The pictures are back and i can see the album names under events. The problem is that the album covers, nor the pictures themselves show up as thumbnails like they did before... they only show when you individually click on the photo to bring it into full view. I only see a grey background where the thumbnail was.
Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

I had ordered a photo book print two years back. I want to reorder the same book again now. However, I have lost the album project/photos from iphoto.
Is there any way to see my print order history and reorder the same book for print ?No. Apple only keeps the pdf file for a book for 30 days. Without the library and book project you won't be able to reorder the same book.
Even though the horse is out of the barn the following tutorial might be of help for future books, i.e. create a new library for each book): iP08 - Archiving an iPhoto Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date

I upgraded my iphone to OS 6.1.2 through itune and lost some photos from photos album and SMS ( In fact everything went back to how it was on my last back up few weeks ago). Do you know how I can recover them? Thank you.
Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

Hi Le_Mac_Admin,
Would suggest you to check the below article that talks about issues when working from networks.

This should be able to answer your queries.

Lost original photos/albums in iPhoto 2
Last week the photo albums in iPhoto vanished...when I was able to find them by stumbling around the hard drive they didn't contain original pix--only pointers to the original pix. In addition, I could never track down all of the originals to help put them back into iPhoto and start rebuilding albums.
Couple of questions:
1) Some of the original pix were never deleted but I can't find them. Why not?
2) I recently bought a Lacie drive to serve as a backup. How do I find the pictures on the backup? What folder are they in?Ken:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. How did you perform the backup and with what software? Look/search on your external HD for a folder title "iPhoto Library". If you find it that may be your entire library. Open it up and see if it looks like this. Do not move anything around or rename anything (see Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder). If it is your library can copy it back to your Pictures folder, replacing the new, empty library there. Now open iPhoto and you should have your library back.
If you don't have your library intact you can do a Finder search of your external HD with the following criteria: Name contains .jpg and Size is greater than 50 KB. That will find all full sized image files on your external HD. You can tell where they are by clicking on one in the search results and checking out the path to the file.
Hope this has been of some help. Good luck.

IPhoto update to 9.4.1 and lost all albums and photo event history
I madethe suggested updates on the 8th OCt. 2012 and then today, first opening after upgrade and much to my surprise all my photo albums and event/import history is gone. Please tell me this is recoverable.
If you're are truely opening your main library after following leonieDF's suggestion do the following: make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library ande select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and 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 #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
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 but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
