Lost photos I imported. Where did they go?

Imported digital photos from my camera to iphoto. For the first time ever they have disappeared. Where did they go?

Iphoto '11 in an imac OS 10.7.5. I have done this transferring from my camera hundreds of time to my imac. I have always selected delete photos from my camera and this is the first time in 7 years that this has happened. When i went back to iphoto the next morning there were not any of my photos there. I did a iphoto library rebuild and nothing came back. I probably should never delete the photos from my camera card, but now a lesson too late. Looking at Media Recovery? Any good?

  • I have pages and now I have lost half my documents where did they go and how do I get them back

    I have an IPad and use Pages.  Now half of my documents are gone.  Where did they go and how do I get them back.

    If you backup your iPad, then the documents should be in your backup. If you have important documents in any app, you should backup very frequently in the event that something happens so that you can restore them from the backup.
    If you use iOS file sharing with iTunes, then the documents might be in your iTunes library.
    If you use iCloud with Pages, check in iCloud,com and see if they appear in there. I don't think it is likely that they will be there, if they disappeared from the iPad, but it is worth a try anyway.
    In the event that this is some software glitch, try closing the Pages app, reboot the iPad and then launch Pages again.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the Pages icon. Tap the home button twice.
    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.
    If you don't backup, don't use iOS file sharing or don't use iCloud, then most likely your files are gone and you will not be able to retrieve them.

  • I uploaded a lot of important pictures to iPhoto, after downloading them I deleted them off my memory card. Now, iPhoto will not let me look at the pictures and the album in which I put them is empty. Where did they go? What should I do? Help please!

    I uploaded a lot of important pictures to iPhoto, and then deleted them off my memory card. I tried looking at the pictures and they are no wheere to be found, the album in which they were is empty, and I looked everywhere for them. Where did they go? What should I do?

    Check to make sure the iPhoto Advanced preferences are set to copy photos into the library when importing, i.e. a "managed" library:
    If it is and you don't see any thumbnail in the Event they should be in 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 ➙ 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.
    If you are unable to get iPhoto to recover the photos MediaRECOVER can be used on the memory card to recover the photos as long a they haven't been overwritten.  It will run in demo mode so you can see if it will recover the photo before you have to purchase it.

  • IPhoto 6 "found" old photos - where did they come from?

    When I opened iPhoto 6 for the first time, it updated my iPhoto library just fine. In the process a dialog opened saying it found 134 photos from somewhere, and asked if I wanted to import them. When I said YES, it created a new album and imported those 134 photos into it.
    The photos ended up being old photos (2-4 years old) that I thought I had deleted a long time ago, many of my ex-wife during holidays and a vacation 3 years ago! Where did they come from? Needless to say, my new fiancee wondered why I had old photos of the ex! I thiought they were gone.
    I used Spotlight to search for "IMG_0...) and found many old photos I had deleted! I do not have an old iPhoto libraray on my PowerBook G4, but the photos were still there in folders, deep inside iPhotos filing system. I deleted all the ones I needed to, all by hand within the Finder.
    What happened?

    I had well over 2,000 photos recovered... Also ranging from 5 years old to this past month.
    There was no clear answer but the photos were recovered in large chunks (300 from December, 400 from March, 600 from January, etc...)..
    The entire time I has iPhoto 5, it never worked properly (always crashed) so a lot of these photos clearly were photos not properly saved in iPhoto 5.
    However, I don't see them in my main library. How do I move them from recovered to the Library?

  • I updated my iPhone 4S to the iOS 5.1 software last Friday.  I noticed on Saturday that only the photos I had taken with my 4S were gone.  Where did they go when I syned my phone for the software update?

    I updated my iPhone 4s to the iOS 5.1 last Friday.  I noticed the next day that the pictures that I had taken with only this phone were gone from my photos.  I still have over 1600 pictures on my phone that are there, only the ones taken from this device are missing.  Where did they go when I syned my phone?  I can't find them in my iTunes.

    You should be importing all pics taken with iphone to your computer regularly, particularly before any update, restore, etc.
    If for some reason you have failed to do this, tehn they are very likely gone.
    You can try restoring from backup.

  • With update of iOS 8 lost pictures and numbers...where did they go?

    With update of iOS 8 lost pictures and numbers...where did they go?

    If the pictures are still on your phone, they may be in a different location as the camera roll and photo stream albums were removed in iOS 8.  This explains the new photos locations: Get help finding your Photos in iOS 8.
    Don't know about your numbers.  If you mean your contacts, if they were syncing with iCloud check iCloud.com to see if they are sill there.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Backing up does not transfer your photos to your computer, if you don't want to enable photo stream, you will need to transfer your photos when your device is connected to your computer using iTunes.

    Hey linfrommi,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are having trouble locating some application after the update to iOS 7. To troubleshoot this issue, let’s reset the home screen layout of your iPhone, which should move all of your applications to the second “page”:
    Reset iPhone settings - iPhone

  • No longer have my photos in iCloud. Where did they go? From iphone5--checked and photo stream

    No longer have my photos in iCloud. Where did they go? From iphone5--checked and photo stream is turned on.

    In icloud? Didn't realize there was a time limit for my icloud storage.
    Photostream is separate from iCloud backups.  Were the photos part of the backup, or only part of Photostream?
    If they were part of the backup, then restore your device from the iCloud backup.
    If they were only part of Photostream, then that is, again, temporary storage, for up to 30 days.  After 30 days, the photos may or may not be available.

  • I downloaded the software update to my iphone and lost all of my contacts?  Where did they go?

    I updated the software on my iphone 4.  In the final stages, it asked me if I wanted to merge my contacts to ICloud?  I said yes and it finished the sync.  Now I have no contacts on my phone.  Where did they go?
    I am lost without my contacts?

    check icloud.com..it will ask you to enter your apple id password..and then into contacts in there you should find your contacts

    The person that found them has deleted them on the phone so you iCal is gone is what I can figure.

  • My iPhone 5 was restored from backup, and while it was restoring everything else all my pictures slowly went from 900 to none. where did they go and how do I get them back?

    My iPhone has been acting very strange lately and the only way to get it to turn on and function is to restore it. I restored it from a backup of my phone before I restored it. I was mostly worried about my pictures. I was relieved to see them all there,
    until the number of photos in my camera roll and other albums began to go down. soon enough, all the pictures I had restored were deleted. where did they go and how can I get them back?

    Hi bluegrandpanash,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you backed up your iPhone to iCloud before updating the software, first try the steps under "Restore from an iCloud backup" in this article to recover your data:

  • HT4191 All my notes on my iphone disappeared after synching yesterday. Where did they go?

    I lost all my notes from my iPhone 4S after synching last night. Where did they go?

    Hi..
    If you have iCloud enabled, tap Settings > iCloud
    Switch Notes off then back on then restart your iPhone.
    Hold the power button until "slide to power off" appears.  Slide to power off.  After it is off, press the power button to turn it back on.
