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 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

What did I do wrong? I used to have iTunes installed on this computer and lost it when it crashed. No I can't get past a certain point in the installation point. I keep getting an error message stating that I need to verify that I have access to this file

Help!! What's going wrong here. I used to have iTunes installed on this computer but lost it when it crashed. I've tried re-installing it numerous times but I keep getting the same error message. "Error writing to file: C:\ProgramFiles\iTunes.Resources\es.lproj\iPadLicense.rtf. Verify that you have access to that directory." I know I have access to that directory because on a different computer I can sync my iPad and iPhone. What am I doing wrong? What do I need to go in and authorize or turn on? Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you.

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

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:

Lost photo on phone...

Hello - I'm not sure how this happened, but I took a photo with my phone and then saved it to the wallpaper (or whatever it's called; the screen that first shows up before you move the slider over). The picture is always there, however, I cannot seem to find the jpg file it's associated with. I would like to have that file backed up, but I cannot find it. Any thoughts as to where it is?

Hello - Sorry I have not responded earlier: hectic summer. Anyway, I tried your program. Seems nifty, but no photo backup that i could find. I open the program, read backups, choose my phone, then there is this list of all my apps I have downloaded. With the exception of "iPhone OS Files" that's it. There is nothing there that would indicate that my lost photo would be hiding out in there. What am I missing?
And BTW, this lost photo was taken some time ago, I have backed up my phone on itunes a zillion times since.
Somehow I think I must have deleted the file after it was placed on my phone's wallpaper. I scoured iphoto and that particular file is just not there. But, it must be on my phone somewhere, I just need a way to extract it.
Thanks...

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 as iphoto crashed- how do I get them back?

As I was downloading my photos from my exilim camera, iphoto crashed and I lost my photos. I pressed the download and delete from camera button as I usually do- so there aren't any files left on the camera. Can I open one of those files in the picture library that I have no idea what their function is about and find my photos?? Are my pictures possibly hidden somewhere. Please help!!
Powerbook G4 12" Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Isaac:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The photos in your library are in the User/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals folder. What happened is that the crash damaged the Library6.iPhoto database file, causing iPhoto to think there are no photos in the library.
You'll have to start over with a new library and import the Originals folder and subfolders into the new library. Move the current library folder to the desktop and launch iPhoto. When it asks you what to do select "Create library". Then drag just the Originals folder from the library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window. That will give you the same rolls as was in the old library but no keywords, comments, albums, etc.
To recover the files in the camera you can try MediaRECOVER. You can run it in the Demo mode to see what photos it will be able to recover before you commit to purchase.
In the future for insurance against the occasional iPhoto database corruption that you experienced I recommend that you make a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get you your library back. With that in mind by keeping it current I mean backup after each import and after any serious editing or creating that you might do in the library like making books, slideshows, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

Lost purchased when iphone crashed

After updating the Facebook app, my iphone crashed and I had to restore it. I have not synced to my computer in about 2 months. When I restored my iphone I lost the music that I have purchased in the last 2 months. It wasn't a whole lot, maybe about 25 songs, but still, that's $25 bucks!I have learned my lesson and just won't puchase music using the wifi itunes store ever again. Especially since all was fine until Facebook killed my phone. Please help me get my music back!

If you don't have any copies of it, click here and use the form at the bottom of the page to request a free redownload, or purchase it again.

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 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!!!

Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'

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:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
- Maybe from the restored iPod via How to perform iPad recovery for photos, videos

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.
