Lost photos when imported

I lost my photos when imported. We're there then battery ran out. Then when turned back on had restarted and seemed to have lost my photos I had imported from that day. Is there anyway of getting them back?

Check, if this help text lets you find your photos -
See: Get help finding your Photos in iOS 8 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6464
Have you enabled the "Summarise Photos" option? Then disable it.
By default, Photos displays a representative subset of your photos when you view by year or by collection.
To see all your photos, go to Settings > Photos & Camera, then turn off Summarize Photos.
And did you migrate your photos from iPhoto? Some photos may still be in the iPhoto Library, that is no longer supported:

You can use File Sharing in iTune to copy files over.

Lost photos when restoring phone. Help!

I got a new iphone a month ago and lost my photos on it when I hooked it up to my computer to sync. I restored it back to October 2011 when prompted and now can't find my pictures. Have I lost them for good? Thanks for any help!

If these were photos taken AFTER October 2011 by your iphone and you restored your iPhone to October 2011, then they are gone.
Photos should be uploaded to your computer as soon as possible after taking them so they can be archived and stored safely. Leaving them on a phone (or on any other digital camera) is asking for trouble, as you are experiencing now.

Lost photos when upgraded to Iphoto 11 - Time machine is off.

I just upgraded my iphoto and have lost all my photos. When I upgraded it was pretty quick and asked me which iphoto I wanted to use. I clicked on the first one. It didn't open the first time but the second time it opened fine...NOW ALL MY PHOTOS ARE GONE! My time machine is off (apparently the computer comes like that and you have to turn it on) and I have no backup!
PLEASE HELP!!!

Lost photos when setting up on itunes for first time

My daughter today took some photos on on her brand new ipod touch 7. When she went to set up the ipod touch for the first time on itunes, the connecting cable accidently was pulled from the pc resulting in her photos vanishing from her ipod touch but not being recorded on the pc. All this on her 12th birthday! Is there a a way to recover the photos from her ipod which appear to be deleted as this is no trace of them. I really would appreciate your help please as she has lost all her birthday photos. Many thanks in advance of a solution. Thanks.

- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

Iphoto lost photos when it unexpectedly stopped??

Hello,
I recently got a MacBook Pro and it was all going good, until now. So I have a camera and whenever I import my photos, I import them into iphoto. Lately it has been quitting unexpectedly, but it never lost any of my images. This time, I just imported about 400 photos and when it was done importing it asked if i wanted to delete them from my memory card and I said yes. After it deleted them from the memory card, it "quit unexpectedly" and when I re-opened iphoto there was just two folders in my events from what I just imported and nothing in them.
I've looked in last import, trash and folders from the iphoto library in finder. This is really frustrating and I'm wondering if there's a way to save my photos! If anyone knows please help!
Thanks,
Lewx2

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I used to see a preview of a photo when I moved my cursor over it - would like to have that option again.

Upgraded Firefox this morning. Before in the upgrade when in Facebook, used to see a full size preview of a photo before clicking the photo to open it. This was very useful and timesaving. Don't know if was a Firefox feature or Facebook feature! Any help welcomed.

I suspect an extension got disabled after your upgrade to Firefox 5.

Lost photos when updated to iOS 5

I updated mine and my husband's iPhone 4 this weekend to iOS 5. We both had photos on our phones that were not previously dumped onto our PC hard drive. My photos were still there, but my husband's are gone. iTunes said the phone was backing up the phone, so they must be somewhere, but we just can't find out how to get them back. The Genius Bar was unhelpful, so I was wondering if this happened to anyone else and what you did to get them back (if you were able to)?

First things first, go to Settings > General > About. Look at photos. If it reads how many you originally had, they should be on your iPhone, just not showing up in the Photos app. This happened to me, it confused me very much, how could my Settings read that I had nearly 530 photos, but only about 150 actually show up? They were even in this tab called events, which disappeared when I did these two steps, which seem to have resolved my problem:
1) Sign into iCloud and turn on photo stream.
2) Power cycle the iPhone. (I think this is the step that actually resolved my problem)
Like I said above, I think step 2 is what actually resolved my problem, as with many iDevices, a simple power cycle seems to resolve many issues. From what I have read online, it seems that when iTunes restores your iPhone after the iOS5 update, it relocates your photos to a different folder, which will be found after a power cycle. Once your phone powers back on, go into the Photos app and check for your photos, they should be there and in the original order they were in before the update! I hope this helps you, good luck!

Lost photos when phone crashed

3G crashed and was replaced. When restoring new phone from backup, no camera roll photos were replaced. I see them in my back-up file, stored as ithmb files, but can't transfer them to my phone, and can't open them on my PC. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks.

Note we need clear specific facts to hwlp
A Time Capsule is a hardware device and can be used for several purposes - are you uing it as an external hard drive or as a backup destination for Time Machine (an application on your Mac)?
iPhoto is an application that uses a database - by default named the iPhoto library and located in your pictures folder - what exactly are you speaking of?
You do not "move photos" into iPhoto - you import them? what exactly are you doing
If you are using your TC for a backup destination you must not have your iPhoto library on it - as TM fills the drive iPhoto will stop working due to lack of space
If you are looking in a TM backup for photos that is not how you do things - TM backups must be restored to use

Lost photos when upgraded to mountain lion

So I had all of my photos stored in iPhoto, but my work upgraded my OS from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion (yes, I realize Lion was skipped), I lost iPhoto along with all of my photos. iPhoto came pre-loaded on my machine, so I don't have the software to re-install iPhoto. Advice? I did save my photos on an external hard drive (via time machine) prior to upgrading, but I'm not sure if they'll be accessable since I don't have iphoto on my computer anymore. Thanks!

In Notes, under View in the menu bar, click on Show Folders List. There might be a folder in which they are...

Lost photos when iphoto crashed during import

I downloaded 92 photos from my camera to iphoto 7.1.5, I deleted the photos on the camera at prompt, iphoto then crashed, and the imported photos did not appear in iphoto. The previous import shows up as the latest import.

You can recover the files from the camera with an app like MediaRecover

Time Machine on my iMac won't open iPhoto. It goes to desktop screen automatically. When I select User/Picture/Iphoto library it only brings up the preview page with the size of the folder. I can't get into the library to look for lost photos.

Thank You. This helps me alot to get into the masters and to see events and photos in a utilitarian way, but it is not as easy as viewing the normal iphoto format to find photos. Can I do something else or did I not do something right to not see normal iphoto in Time Machine ?
