Hello There ! A couple of weeks ago while on a tourist trip I decided to buy a new iphone4s that eventualy I used the phone for camera photo and video recording
when i finally got home I decided to restore the infos from my old iphone to the new one , after that all the pics and videos disapeared , how can I recover it ?

Hi everyone
I recently formatted my machine and updated the system to OS X 10.8.5
And I use time machine to do a backup.
But, when I uploaded my iPhoto library from the back up, the pictures/albuns and events come all until September 2012.
Where are all my pictures from then on till today???
I searched Originals folder in the backups, and I don’t see anything from later than September 2012…
I lost all pictures of my baby girl…
Please help me!!!
They must be stored in someplace else…

After connect with Itunes, choosing restore, then all the photos lost.

I bought a New Iphone5 and using it to took some photos.
then I connect with Itunes which provide me two options, I choosed the retore. after restore, all the photo lost. what can i do.

It can not do that all by itself.
When you plugged it in, iTunes said 'Oh goody! You got a new phone! Would you like to make it just like your old phone?'...
You explicitly said 'Yes'.
You can't undo that.
No backup of the current state of the new phone was made. It was wiped and the last backup of your old phone was restored to it.
Anything you had on the new phone is gone.

After Archive and Install, music and photos lost

Hello, I installed Leopard yesterday on my Imac desktop and it went fine, but then somehow it locked me out of the hard drive, and then...the blue screen. I put the orginal Tiger disk back in and re-installed the previous software, opting for 'archive and install'. It worked but my question is this;
Within the previous system folder, my music and photos are still missing. All I see is the iphoto icon which opens to a completely empty program. (Yet the info on this Icon says it is a 1 gb in there). Are my photos lost, really? And if not, how may I retrieve them? Thanks in advance.

You may find it in the Previous System Folder created during an Archive and Install that contains your old system. Assuming you have no need for its contents you can delete the PSF and recover the disk space.
Of course if the hard drive is corrupted then you may have performed an Archive and Install on a corrupted drive which will result in a corrupted installation. Consider doing the following:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

How do I get photos from backup external drive on to my new hard drive?

How do I get photos from backup external drive on to my new hard drive on my MacBook

How did you use this backup drive? Was this a Time Machine backup, or just an external drive to which you copied files?
I assume your photos were in iPhoto. If you're just talking a bunch of JPEG files you can just drag them wherever you like, otherwise:

Do my photos still backup in my iCloud if I don't have my iCloud library beta on?

They are included in an iCloud backup if you don't have iCloud Photo Library turned on. See the following quote from the section of what is included in an iCloud backup from iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
Photos and videos on your iOS devices, unless you turn on iCloud Photo Library beta on your iOS 8.1 device. If you turn on iCloud Photo Library beta, your photos and videos are already stored in iCloud, so they aren’t included in your iCloud Backup.
Be aware that the contents of an iCloud backup are not viewable at iCloud.com and are only usable when doing a full restore to an iOS device or when transferring to a new iOS device. Because of that I also import my photos to a computer for safekeeping. Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support

How does the Photo Download Backups folder work?

I am wondering how the Photo Download Backups folder works--does it keep backups for just a certain amount of time? I just recently found this in my Downloads folder when I was cleaning out unncessary files for extra hard drive space. Mine has nearly 60GB so it would be great to clear it out if possible. (I already backup to an external drive.) Thanks for any insight.

You are talking about two different things:
Are you downloading the pdf to your computer or trying to view it in your browser? These are two different things. If you are trying to view it in your browser, which browser under which OS? How are you trying to view it. If you are trying to download a pdf, again please list the steps.
As to conversion to pdf, you use the Save AS Other menu.

IPhoto 08, photos lost

I've got an iMac with Leopard and iPhoto 08. I tried to import photos from backups created with previous iPhoto versions. First it seemed impossible to read these both CD's and DVD's onto which the backups were created (created from iPhoto). After succeeding to import some of the photos, suddenly i get a prompt to rebuild the thumbnails. After doing this none of the photos, not even from the already existing library, shows. I guess the photos are still there , but the path seems to be garbled. How can I fix this ?

Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums back.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Just changed hardrives on my computer. How can I reference my photos and backups from my old HDD?

I just switched my HDD for a SDD on my laptop. All files on my old HDD are still intact, the backups and photos are all in the same place. I will be using the HDD as an external hardrive. What is the best way to reference my photos and backups in lightroom that I reinstalled on my SDD?

I do apologize if I am still missing what I am supposed to follow on that
link, but I don't think it applies to me.I may not have explained fully
what I am trying to accomplish. I have a laptop computer, I replaced my HDD
with an SSD then I replaced my my optical drive with my old HDD. I am
storing all of my software and OS on the SSD, so i reinstalled creative
cloud and lightroom on the SSD. I am storing all of my documents on my hard
drive. So right now when I open lightroom on my new SSD there are no
pictures, because its a fresh install of the software on my new rive. On my
HDD i still have all of my photos, backups, and even software. I am in the
process of deleting the OS and software off of the HDD and software files.
Before I do that I want to make sure that I have transferred everything
that I am going to need. How can I get my pics on my new version of
lightroom? Thanks again for the help.

The last few times I imported photos, the backup location was set to "documents" with no sub-folders. How do I get them into sub-folders - like year and month?

If you have an older backup that contains you deleted photos you could extract them with 3rd party software such as http://www.iphonebackupextractor.com/.

How can you restore photos lost during software update on iTunes?

How do you restore or even find photos lost during software update of iphone 4 on iTunes?

Why did you not back it up before performing the update? Did you perform the update on a computer other than the one you normally sync with?
As already stated, if you didn't back it up, the data is now gone.

TS1503 do all my photos get backup when i plug into itunes

do all my photos get backup when i plug into itunes

Yes, but you should not rely on that, and they are not viewable. They are only for restoring your iphone.
You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.

Lost photos - no backup

I have lost most of my photos from the iphoto library. I have searched through the post to find solution, but in every post I see so far, the user has had a backup. I do not have any backup. Can I retrieve lost photos using iphoto Library Manager or anything else if I do not have backup? Is there anyway for me to retrieve the lost photos? When I look in my iPhoto Library under a certain date either all the photos are gone or only 2 or 3 are still there instead of the entire number of pictures taken on a certain day.

welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
can you describe a bit more about your situation
what happened that "lost" these photos?
How do you know they are lost - do you have thumbnails in iPhoto but no full sized photos - no thumbnails but still have full sized photos
Tell us as much as you can about what happens, what you did and what you have done since discovering the problem
And now is the perfect time to begin backing up - this will happen again (all computer fail sometime and without a backup yo are in trouble)

Just installed, lost all photos, no backup

So I just installed iLife '09 and was so excited. I opened up iPhoto and got the message "The photo library needs to be updated to work with the version of iPhoto" so I clicked the 'update' button. It starts to read the old data library then says "Your photo library is damaged or unreadable and cannot be opened. Please restore from a back up." I don't have a backup. Is there anyway I can get my pictures back?

Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
download iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - and use its rebuild function - this creates a new library without disturbing our existing one so you lose nothing
LN
PS - Now you know why it is critical that anytime you do a software install or upgrade that you have a backup prior to doing the install/upgrade - Things do happen and a backup is your only defense to "things happening"
