Original Pictures Deleted?!?

Hello,
I have a very bad problem...not too long ago I put a lot of pictures on my iPod nano and they everything worked fine! But then I plugged in my iPod a few times to chance some songs...now I wanted to look at some pictures I took(5000) and they are all gone! somehow itunes deleted those pictures! Did anyone have had the same prob as i do?? I want my pictures back...what would be the best solution?
Im waiting for quick responses! THanks!
luc

the programm somehow deleted the ORIGINAL pictures!!
Where are you saying it deleted the originals? From your iPod or from your computer?
The original pictures should be on your computer.
Are they still in the folder you selected in iTunes prefs -> iPod - Photo tab?
The originals are only copied to the iPod if you open iTunes prefs -> iPod - Photo tab and check Copy full resolution photos to iPod.
If this box is not checked, to save space, iTunes will only load a small version of the picture onto the iPod.

Original pictures deleted after batch rename in Bridge

Hi,
I have just gone through the process of renameing photos in my collection using batch rename in Bridge.
I have just gone into the wastebin on my computer and all my pictures (with the original filenames) are in there?
Is this right? As far as I can tell I have all my photos, with their new file names, its just the original photos that are in the bin.
Can I safely delete all the photos in the watebin?
Thanks
Tom

Collections are a little different that images in folders as they are not images, just an address to find image. I just did a test rename of file in collection it it renamed image, nothing in trash heap.
So can't say why you are seeing what you are seeing. Are you using folders in Bridge, and the folder is not write protected?

I publish a 41mb newsletter monthly into interactive pdf. It always becomes a file size of 4mb, 10% of original, when I save to pdf. This month my newsletter is 41mb and it drops to 11mb, 25% of original. I have re-sized all pictures, deleted pages separa

I publish a 41mb InDesign newsletter monthly into interactive pdf. It always becomes a file size of 4mb, 10% of original, when I save to pdf. This month my newsletter is 41mb and it drops to 11mb, 25% of original. I have re-sized all pictures, deleted pages separately, have gotten the file size down to 16mb and it drops to 7mb, 45% of original.
I have gone back and saved Feb and March and it saves to 10% of original, as it did before, and I use the same mechanism to save now.
I have gone to Acrobat Pro and optimized down to 8.8mb, but the quality is not acceptable.
What other variable is there that I haven't discovered?

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Is there a way to Quickly organize, consolidate & save the Original (Pictures, Movies, etc.) yet delete all duplicate (Pictures, Movies, etc.)?

Is there a way to Quickly organize, consolidate & save the Original (Pictures, Movies, etc.) yet delete all duplicate (Pictures, Movies, etc.)?

I wanted to first thank you for this, as this is the only workaround literature that seems to be floating around out there. With that said, I know it is a big ask, but is there any way that you could create a video showing step by step how to do what you do? I have several tracks that are stuck in waiting mode, and if left in itunes, will never upload or match...they only cause the upload process to hang up and restart. I've tried leaving it for days...I've tried converting the files, signing in and out of itunes (and itunes match), updating itunes match, and I tried your technique...unfortunately to no avail. Perhaps I didn't do your technique correctly. I used audacity to reverse the audio.
ANY help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
Thanks

How do I delete "original" pictures?

Is there a way to delete the original picture that iPhoto has? When I make changes (brightness, contrast, red-eye reduction, etc...) it keeps the original in the library and makes a copy with the new image. (I believe this is called non-destructive editing???)
Anyway, I don't want all this wasted space with the original photos I will never use. How can I clean up my library and regain that space?

Tim:
That's not easily doable in iPhoto 7. iPhoto is set up so that you always have a copy of the digital negative, i.e. original file. If you really have to do that then you can do the following (but it's not recommended as you can damage the library if done improperly):
1 - open the iPhoto library package and locate the modified file in the Modified folder.
2 - copy the modified file to the Originals folder containing the original version of that file and replace it.
3 - in iPhoto select that file and execute the Revert to Original.
This deletes the modified file and takes you back to the original which has been replaced by the modified.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making 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 the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, 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.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How can i find the original picture in the correct event folder from an album folder picture?

how can i find the original picture in the correct event folder from an album folder picture? I can find the link to the original event folder, but is there a way to get right to the picture without having to search visually the event folder?

Depends on whatr you mean
Deleting from your phone does not delete from anywhere else
HOWEVER deleting from your Photo stream does delete from the Photostream so anyone looking at the PS from any device will no longer see the photo
But if your Mac iPhoto is set to automatically impor tphotos form PS or is you have manually imported photos from PS then onc ethey are imported they are on your Mac and change to PS will not affect them
for more on PS see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

Seelct the song.

Click the Artwork tab.
If it has the original AND the new, click the new to highlight it and press "Delete" on your keyboard.
If it doesn't have the original, Google the album cover, delete the new one as above, and drag the original to the Artwork box in the Info pane. Click OK and you've reset the artwork.

They stole my hard drive with my original pictures, need help with back up

Someone stole my hard drive in my bag with the pictures I use with Lightroom. I have a clean backup of my original until November last year : the folder is similar of the folder I use in LR. But for the rest, I have a back up of the original pictures in my mac, but I think it's bit messy, because after that I deleted and move and renemae some picture in LR, and I didn't sync the back up folder. The folder is just a back up when I imported my picture in LR for the first time. So, I'm afraid LR won't find all the pictures. I don't really know how to explain better. But I will apreciate some help before started, and I don't want to mess it up. What can I do to find my LR back?

One way to approach this is to reinstate the backup you have as of November, then Import the images since then as a new import (as you'd be using the .lrcat from November, so it won't see any of the more recent as duplicate]. Of course, no edits nor keywords will be associated with those more recent photos, but this might be the way to assure you pick up everything since then.
Sorry about you bad news/luck on the theft. Bummer.

Installed Icloud and my original pictures are missing

I installed Icloud and my original pictures that were on my iphone are missing - where can I find them? I never deleted them.

Do a search for the Settings App first. If you are running iOS 7, swipe down from the middle of the home screen to get to the search field at the top of the screen. If you are running iOS 6, swipe to the right from the first home screen to get to the search area. Type Settings into the search field. When the app appears in the search, tap on it to open the Settings app.
From that point, do one of these two thins to get the apps to reappear. Most likely, the second suggestion is the one that you should try since not all apps can be restricted.
Check Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure that you didn't disable it.
You can also reset the home screen layout and the icon will reappear - but the home screen will return to the way that it looked when you first activated your iPad.
Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

Imported photo's from computer, via Itunes, to iphone, now itunes can't find the folder with original pictures from Iphone or doesn't recognize it.

Dear reader,
i just bought a new Iphone 5s, and decided to download Itunes and sync my Iphone with my laptop. Everyting went well until i decided to try out some things and i imported pictures via Itunes from laptop to Iphone. this is how i did it: Itunes - iphone - pictures - pictures synchronized from 'option choose map' - I chose another map - after, i 'ticked' box 'all maps'. Then i hit the button 'synchronize'. I forgot to look how the orignal map was called and this was the one Itunes syncronised autmatically with, that one also contaned all the original pictures on my Iphone. So, after putting some new photo's on my Iphone, i wanted to change the settings back to normal so my Itunes and Iphone could sync iphone pictures again. But I can't find the old map back or Itunes doesn't recognize the map. I already tried to use the map 'Ipod Photo Cache' but it shows only empty folders. I also tried computer - iphone - Internal storage or DCIM or 860OKMZO; No idea what that means but i thought that the last two folders can contain pictures. However, i get an error if select these ones a map in Itunes. How do I get back to the old settings again?
I hope I described the problem well; English is not my native language so i'm sure this might contain grammar mistakes.
A big 'thank you' for helping me in advance!

When i connected the iphone to my laptop, i found the location of the pictures on the iphone; the a map called '860OKMZO' (i've mentioned this map earlier, this folder is located inside the folder DCIM). But if i try to open it with Itunes, this error comes up: 'foldername is invalid'. I figured that Itunes could have saved the synchronised pictures in another map somewhere else but i've found nothing...

Where do I find my original picture after editing it in the organizer and saiving it

I am brand new to photoshop elements. I edited a photo in the editor and saved it with another name. I now can not find the original picture. What happened to it?

When you are working in the Organizer in PSE13, by default you are shown a display of the thumbnails where each thumbnail is maximized without any text, file name or details.
That's a new display mode in version 13. You can switch the display mode to the old 'detailed' view, where the thumbnail is smaller, but shown with the file name and details if you have selected that option in the "View" menu. To switch, use either the View menu or the shortcut Ctrl D.
When you have edited a picture from the Organizer, the new picture you have created is linked to the original, they are in a 'version set'. Only the more recent version is shown by default. When you have switched to 'detailed view', there is a small triangle on the right of the thumbnail. Click on it, and all versions will be displayed side by side.
Is that what you want?
If you have created a version set, a small icon should appear on the top ritht of the thumbnail even in non-detailed display mode.

In iPHOTO it won't let me "choose any of the original pictures to include in an email or even copy and paste them else where? Why ?

In iPHOTO I can highlight a photo to include in an email, but after I select the a photo, the "choose" box will not darken to let me choose that photo or any of my original photos to put them in an email or even to copy and paste them else where.
The only changes I have done is the original photos were taken with a different digital camera from the one I use currently. The newer digital cameras photos can be selected and emailed just fine. What is not being recognized by the iPHOTO programing as to not let me select (choose) to older photos taken by the older original digital camera?

Thanks for the response to my query on emailing photos from iPHOTO. To answer your questions:
1. When I first connected my new digital camera to my iMAC and installed it's program from it disk, all went well and that program with Icons are currently on my desk top. When I down loaded pictures from this new camera into iPHOTO, I was asked if all pictures from this camera were to be down loaded into iPHOTO only, I answered yes.
2. I did nothing to the photos in iPHOTO, they are my original pictures setup in various groups and are not thumbnail copies of the originals.
3. And yes, I have tried to attach photos from iPHOTO directly into an email message in both Apple's MAIL program and even through my AOL service provider account to no avail. I get the same issues of not being able to choose older pictures for insertion in an email message, only newer pictures taken with the new camera.
4. I have even gone back into my external back files and restored older versions of iPHOTO and the same thing happens.
5. I have even thought of uninstalling the unused new camera's desk top files, but since there is nothing in these files and both my new and older cameras are Canon models, I can see no issues for removing the new camera files?
I hope this extra detail is lear to you and again tell for your assistants.

Why is it that even after editing a picture under iPhoto, the original picture is still the file that is being exported?

Why is it that even after editing a picture under iPhoto, the original picture is still the file that is being exported?

because you are exporting the original?
SInce you give us no information at all we can only guess and that is the most likely
How are you editing the photo - iPhoto? An external editor? How?
how are you exporting?
Remember we are users just like you - not psychics

How do I re-assemble two halves of a large scanned photo to create the original picture in CS3

How do I re-assemble two halves of a large scanned photo to create the original picture in CS3

Good day!
Is there overlap between the scans?
If so File > Automate > Photomerge might be enough, otherwise you can load both images in one document and manually align/distort them and address color/brightness-diferences with Adjustment Layers.

Original picture changed while saving the edited one

Hi,
I am an absolute beginner using Camera Raw.
I just edit a picture in Camera Raw 5.7. When I was finished I saved the edited picture using a new name. Unfortunatly the original picture has also changed. So now I have two identical edited pictures with different names but the original picture is gone. How can I keep the original?
Regards, Nicole

The original image is still there...it's just had processing parameters added to the raw file. If you really don't want them you can either go into Bridge, Edit, Develop Settings and hit clear. But if you do that you will loose all the work you put into making the adjustments...you might be better off going back into Camera Raw and create a snapshot of the settings them you can reset the image to it's default settings...
