Originals of photos lost when updated to 9.3

I've just installed the iPhoto 9.3 update, and found that I can no longer access edits to any photos more than two years old – which is 80% of my library. Most of those older photos had been cropped or adjusted in some way, and I often need to undo a crop or readjust an edit.
The message I get is "Image Cannot Be Edited. This photo was previously edited with another application or with an earlier version of iPhoto. Duplicate this photo to edit it."
Has the iPhoto library upgrade deleted the originals and replaced them with the final edits? Can I retrieve the originals?

Excellent – thank you.
It's a bit of a faff, but it works. The original is in there, and it opens with preview, but iPhoto won't accept it into the library (because it thinks it's already there). I duplicated it and saved it under a different name, and it imported correctly into iPhoto with its original date and metadata.
So all that's lost, it seems, are the settings I used to edit it from the original to the final edit, should I want to recreate most but not all of that editing process. Seems unfortunate (and somewhat needless) but I can cope with that. Thanks for your help.

  • Metadata is lost when updating photos from iphone to imac

    Hi! I just got a new iphone 4, and when I try to import photos from it, I see that all metadata is gone. I checked with iPhoto, Aperture and Adobe Bridge and I can only see the metadata in the photos directly imported from the iphone camera (no editing). If I use any app (Hipstamatic, Monochromia, etc.) the metada is gone, I cannot even see the camera that the photo was taken with... I checked the settings for the apps, and the setting are correct.
    I saw plenty of pictures taken/edited with these apps (on Flickr, etc) that still have metada.
    Does someone know how can I keep the metadata in all photos?
    Thanks!!

    Not what I wanted to hear but thanks for your quick response.  Do you know what the problem could have been?  Cheers

  • My photos lost after update from 3.1.3 to 4.0.0

    Sorry for my English.
    After updating from 3.1.3 to 4.0.0 I lost pictures.
    They occupy the volume is displayed in iTunes, but they are not.
    New photos continue numbering from the old and the volume in iTunes is increasing.
    How to return all the pictures in the phone, only see those that did after the upgrade?

    Thanks. I found this:
    I first learned this technique when upgrading my iPhone 3G to iOS4:
    1) Connect your iPhone to your computer
    2) Run iPhone Explorer on your computer (install it if you don't already have it)
    3) Backup (copy to a folder on your computer) and then delete the following files:
    /DCIM/.MISC/Info.plist
    /PhotoData/Photos.sqlite
    /PhotoData/PhotosAux.sqlite
    4) Unplug your iPhone, launch Camera Roll app and wait as it rebuilds the database.
    The thumbnails that were showing as black on my iPhone look perfect now.
    And very happy!

  • HT4236 Is there a way to recover photos lost when phone is accidently restored?

    I recently restored my Iphone by mistake. Is there a way to recover my lost photos?

    If the photos were not imported by your computer and your iPhone's backup was not updated to include the photos prior to restoring the iPhone, the photos are gone unless you had Photo Stream enabled with your iCloud account settings on the iPhone and all photos in the Camera Roll were copied to your Photo Stream prior to the restore.
    iTunes does not handle the import of photos/videos on the Camera Roll.

  • Reference is lost when updating selection option

    Hi all,
    In my application, I need to update selection screen according to user input, like update dropdown list. Therefore, I write my coding at view event WDDOMODIFYVIEW to ensure my method UpdateScreen is called at every roundtrip. Everything runs OK except when I click sign/option and choose any sign of selection option following dump occurs:
    The following error text was processed in the system ICX : Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible.
    The error occurred on the application server pwdf4646_ICX_12 and in the work process 0 .
    The termination type was: RABAX_STATE
    The ABAP call stack was:
    Method: IF_WD_CONTEXT_ELEMENT~SET_ATTRIBUTE of program CL_WDR_CONTEXT_ELEMENT========CP
    Method: SET_SIGN of program CL_WDR_SELECT_OPTIONS=========CP
    Method: ON_SIGN_OPTION_LEAVE of program CL_WDR_SELECT_OPTIONS=========CP

    It losts ref since I call if_wd_select_options~upd_selection_field before choosing sign. If user clicks sign/option, there's no need to update selection screen because no user input changes. But how can I judge this?

    Please let me comment more since no attachment can be uploaded. Following are key steps I do:
    1) Build selection screen of two select options with this:
      lr_range = lr_selopt->create_range_table( i_typename = 'CRMT_PROCESS_TYPE' ).
      lr_selopt->add_selection_field(
        i_id                       = 'ACT_PROCTYPE'
        it_result                  = lr_range
        i_description              = 'Transaction Type'
      lr_range = lr_selopt->create_range_table( i_typename = 'CRMT_ACTIVITY_CATEGORY' ).
      lr_selopt->add_selection_field(
        i_id                          = 'ACT_CAT'
        it_result                     = lr_range
        i_value_help_structure_field  = 'CATEGORY'
    2) At method WDDOMODIFYVIEW, I update the description for example:
      lr_range = lr_selopt->create_range_table( i_typename = 'CRMT_PROCESS_TYPE' ).
      lr_selopt->upd_selection_field(
        i_id                       = 'ACT_PROCTYPE'
        it_result                  = lr_range
        i_description              = 'New Transaction Type'
    Then, if I click the sign button before select option and choose a sign, it gets dump.
    I know the calling of upd_selection_field interferes something, but I have to update screen in order to complying with user input.

  • New Photos Lost when Loading them from Camera to IPhoto

    Heres the story. Have a new Powerbook G4, Fuji S7000 Digital Camera, and a Scandisk imagemate Disk Reader for my XD Card. I've used this camera / drive with my PC for a couple years with no issues on importing....but with my Mac, it seems that if I take a group of pictures, and then wait a day and take some more and go to import them are lost. The photos will show on the camera as being take as I always check to make sure I got the shot....but its happened to me twice on my honeymoon where i've taken about 10 photos, and plugged my XD card into the Scandisk reader to import them....and the new photos are GONE. The pictures I'd taken the day earlier are still there...but the new ones are no where to be found. When I remove the disk and put them back in the camera to see if they are there....they are removed from there also. Help!!! I've lost some amazing photos and am getting "spooked" about losing more or even thinking about loading them onto IPhoto. any help / suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hi Bill,
    Until you or someone here can figure out what is going wrong I suggest using Image Capture to download your images. I also suggest you not to use the option of having Image Capture or iPhoto "delete the photos from the camera after downloading" You should always delete the photos from the camera yourself after you have seen they have downloaded safely to your computer.
    Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
    Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
    When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
    Under the General button choose
    Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
    The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
    In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
    To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.
    iPhoto: How to Change the "Open Automatically" Preference
    If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.

  • If i downgrade my itunes can i save data lost when updating to iphone OS 4?

    Hi i was one of the masses who lost their data updating from 313 to OS 4 during june 2010. I had itunes version 9.1 where my content was backed up perfectly on that and i had to update it to 9.2 to upgrade my phone to OS 4.
    I got a message saying I have to update to the latest version of itunes to support the latest iphone software for my phone. when I did that and updated, I got the infamous error code my phone crashed everything was erased, when I came to restore from my backup file which is still dated to june 20th 2010, the data was blank.
    so if i downgrade my itunes to 9.1 and my iphone back to OS 3.1.3 would I be able to recover my content?

    That won't work... reason being is you need the following requirements for the iPhone 4.
    Mac system requirements
    Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
    Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
    iTunes 10.1 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
    iTunes Store account
    Internet access
    Windows system requirements
    PC with USB 2.0 port
    Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 10.1 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
    iTunes Store account
    Internet access

  • Data on phone lost when updating software

    I have a 3gs - when i get prompted by itunes to update software my phone freezes after the process and I get locked onto the insert usb cable screen. I have to restore to last setting to get it going again which takes hours. can you help please. latest prompt is to update to 4.3.3
    I need to download an app that requires 4.2 software update

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    I am confused as to how a download of DTM would cause this. Downloading DTM to your PC does nothing but download an installation file to your PC. You must launch that installation file in order for anything else to happen...and then do even more in order to cause what you have described. So I am confused as to exactly what you have done.
    In any event, if your BB has been somehow wiped clean, then the only way to get your data back is if you already have previously taken a backup. If you have never done that, then there is no hope.

  • Favourites lost when updating TomTom app

    I have a 16GB iPhone 4 with about 650MB of storage. TomTom released a new version of their app this week, and in order to update the app, I first sync'ed and backed up my iPhone with iTunes. I then downloaded the update in iTunes before trying to sync again. The app didn't sync, probably because of lack of storage on the iPhone, so I deleted the app from the phone and re-sync'ed. The updated app sync'ed correctly after that, but I lost all of my favourites and app settings in the process. I contacted TomTom support about this and there's no way to retrieve them, they're essentially washing their hands off the problem, saying it's an Apple issue.
    I can restore my iPhone using the back up I did before deleting the app, but that doesn't really help me in updating the app. Does anybody know whether it's possible to export the favourites from the app, and re-import them after deleting the app and installing the updated version?
    Note: I don't want to delete my music and put it back after updating the app. Updating to iOS 7 was a disaster, resulting in my music not sync'ing properly. I could never fix it using iTunes and in the end, I had to use CopyTransManager to manually copy the albums one by one. It took me almost 2 months of manually copying songs from computer to iPhone to get my music back as it was prior to updating to iOS 7 (minus a few albums for which I didn't have enough space), so I am not touching it again ever! (I don't sync it through iTunes anymore).

    Well, it looks like I can't restore the backup either because "there's not enough storage"
    Anyway, I browsed through various internet forums and found a solution:
    With iPhone Backup Extractor, I extracted mapsettings.cfg from my last manual backup (to my PC), which I did before deleting the TomTom app and installting the updated version. You need to go in "Expert Mode" to Application\com.tomtom.WEurope\Documents\Western_Europe.
    Once you have found it, click "Extract" and save it somewhere on your PC.
    Now, using iExplorer, I copied the file to the corresponding location on my iPhone (Apps\W. Europe\Documents\Western_Europe)
    Launched TomTom on my iPhone et voila! My favourites are all there and I am running the latest version of the app.
    Don't know why Apple/TomTo, have to make it so hard...

  • Key Photo lost when synching with iOS devices

    Hi and thanks for reading.
    I have noticed that in the last months, when I synch my iPhoto Events with my iPhone one iPad, the Events on iOS devices are not labelled by the same key photos I have on the MAC on iPhoto.
    Does anybody know the reason?
    Thanks bye

    The iphone/ipad is not a backup/storage device.  They simply mirror the selected content of the computer to which you sync.
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.

  • Tarnslation ist lost when updating application

    hello there,
    whenever i update my app at customers site, any translation of my app is lost. the translation of teh apex frameworks stays ok.
    i have to apply & publish the translation files again.
    the application is installed on a customers server,
    i do all the developing stuff at a different server.
    the whole application is translated in a seceond language; lets say french. language is determined by browser language.
    whever i finish a new release i transport the whole application, using the build in export/import features.
    after deployment of the upgraded app, i want the pages/items to be lokalized.
    so i start the translation process from the scratch:
    seeding the translatable text => at this point apex says that all items have to be translated. to me it seems that aplex has lost the old information about translation durung the update proces of my application.
    i can come around this problem by applying & publishing the the formerly uploaded translation files.
    but i think i'm doing somethung wrong during the deleivering process of a new version of the application.
    but what am i doung wrong?
    any help is welcome

  • HT4236 contacts, photos lost when new iphone syncing with Macpro

    Synced my new iphone with itunes, lost all my contacts and photos, etc. iphone was restored to include all my stuff from my previous iphone, how do i fix this to get back all my new contacts and photos, etc

    Ask whoever transferred them to begin with. We have no idea what kind of phone you had or where those contacts came from.
    Your mistake was in trusting some dweeb at a phone shop to transfer your contacts without understanding what would happen to then if you restored, then, of course, in restoring the phone without a backup of the information that was in it.
    Restoring the backup of your old iPhone from a few years ago completely overwrote the data that was in the phone.

  • Photos lost when upgrading to elements 13

    After downloading elements 13 my photos from elements 11 did not transfer in. I even lost the photos in elements 11

    I assume you're using Windows 7. If so, I can't help you with the NIK plug-ins, but with the Topaz plug-ins, do this: Computer/OS/Program Files/Adobe/Photoshop Elements 13/Plug-Ins/Topaz. To translate: go to the desktop, open Computer, then open your computer's built-in hard drive, usually labeled OS, open the folder Program Files, open the Adobe folder, open Photoshop Elements 13 folder, open Plug-Ins folder. It is in the Plug-Ins folder that you want to put your Topaz plug-ins. I simply copied mine from PSE 12's Plug-Ins folder and pasted them in PSE 13's Plug-Ins folder. As for the NIK plug ins, you may be able to do the same thing with them as with the Topaz plug-ins. However, you may not be able to. In my case, I also use on-One software's plug ins and it is a little harder to get them to work. In this case, I have to re-download them from on-One's site and let the installer do its thing, which, of course, means you have to re-enter your license numbers.
