Photo Quality Changed- Can't Change it back

I have somewhat of a dumb question. I was recently moving things around on my computer, and I moved all of my photos from my iphoto folder into a public folder, so that they could be accessed through my local network. That worked fine. However, when I tried to put them back into my iphoto library folder, I was unable. I was able to drag all the photos into the iphoto icon on my dock, which inserted them all into iphoto. fine. My problem is that these photos are all of poorer quality than the originals. I cant recover the original quality and it is driving me nuts! I really hope I didn't lose them. Does anyone have any suggestions? I would be extremely grateful.

Welcome to the apple user discussion forums
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Yes - start over and DO NOT change the contents of the iPhoto library again - it is a data base and when you muck around in it you risk losing photos, albums, etc
Do you still have the folder of high resolution photos (should have been the originals folder from the iPhoto library) that you moved out of the iPhoto library?
If you do quit iPhoto, put the folder of originals on your desktop, move the iPhoto library from your pictures folder to the desktop and launch iPhoto and drag the original photos onto iPhoto - this will re-import and reindex them and you should be fine - just do not modify the iPhoto library again.
Once you are happy with the new library, you can delete the iPhoto library from the desktop and also the originals if you want (assuming that you have the iPhoto preference to "copy items to the iPhoto library" checked - if you do not have this checked you probably should - it is highly recommended that you leave it checked - the default setting)

I deleted my photo booth how can i get it back?

i deleted my photo booth how can i get it back?

OK, here are some step by step instructions:
1. Open a Finder window.
2. In the Finder window on the left side you will see a folder that says Applications. Click the folder.
3. Click the Time Machine icon in your Dock and wait for Time Machine to open.
4. On the right side of TM you will see a time line, click a date that you know the Application was still there and wait for TM to go to that date. You will see the date in the bottom center.
5. While in the Applications folder scroll down until you find Photo Booth and then click Restore in the bottom right.
At that point Photo Booth should be restored and working. If it isn't then make an appointment at your local Apple Store and take the machine in. They will help you restore the application. If you don't have an Apple Store in your area contact an AASP or call Apple Care for some help.

Make the iTunes window wider.
It is on the far right.

Photo quality change after exporting

Hello
I'm working on a short film project that should be made from photos not videos (so photos are critical in this iMovie project), but after exporting the movie ( in HD) I found out that the photos' quality were reduced?
Most of the photos are darky, with dark backgrounds, they look good enough in iMovie but after exporting they look lighted up, which ruins my movie.
What should I do??
Thanks in advance

That is odd, I have not been aware of any drop in camera quality via an update with this model. With this being the case I would advise running the update again and choosing the "Repair" option.

Photos *****. How can I get iPhoto back

Photos lacks many of the features of iPhoto that I used all the time. How can I get it back?

It didn't go away. Look in your Applications folder.
If you didn't update it to the Yosemite version, see this tip: Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS X 10.10.3

ICloud deleted all my contacts and photos. How can I get it back?

All my contacts and photos from my iPhone and from my ICloud webpage are gone.
I have an ICloud backup from yesterday morning so i tried restoring, but my contacts disappeared again after a few seconds. It says that i have 1000 photos, but I can't see them. All the pictures are grey and when I click on one it just says "loading" and nothing happens.
I kept getting a message to enter my ICloud password, so i did and maybe that could be the reason, or maybe it's because I charged my phone on my new macbook and it somehow deleted it all.
I don't have an ITunes backup, but if I have an old ICloud backup, shouldn't it be possible to get it all back?
I hope someone can help. Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photos don't restore from back up, they restore after back up has completed, so it's quite normal to have to wait a while, especially if you don't have a reliable network.
To restore from a back up made through iTunes, follow these instructions.
To restore from a back up made through iCloud, try the following:
The difficulty in restoring iCloud data from a back up is that the back up is older than the current version on iCloud and anything that is restored gets removed again when an iCloud sync occurs.
Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
Start the restore from iCloud back up.
Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
Wait for the time out confirmation.
Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn off contact syncing (keep contacts when prompted).
Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
Delete any iCloud contacts from iCloud.com on a computer.
Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn on contact syncing (merge contacts when prompted).
May I suggest that you carry out a back up to iTunes before you try anything, that way should things become even worse, you can at least restore back to where you are now.

Photos on Nano - Can I get them back to my computer?

I'll try to be brief. I recently re-installed the operating sys on my macbook. Before I did so I backed up everything (at least I thought I did). My back-up did not contain all of my photos. I thought they were gone, but they are still on my nano. Question is can I get them back? I tunes is now asking me to re-synch my nano (will replace all existing music and phots on the nano with what is on the computer). That's fine on the music end, all of that was backed up and restored. But I can't resynch with the photos or I'll loose them. So how, if it is possible can I get the photos on my nano back to the computer?
Thanks!

There are various programs out there for recovering photos from an iPod, have a look at the ones below. If you search the internet you can find more:
iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
If you have full resolution copies of the photos on the iPod have a look here: Apple Knowledge Base article - Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod

Photo quality changes in aperture

when I import my images into aperture, they look beautiful, (just like the back of camera), but then when I double clik to open the image to edit, it gets all gross and desaturated?? WHY??

Are you shooting raw? And are you using in-camera settings to enhance your photos?
Then the difference you are seeing will be due to the in-camera processing.
Your camera will create previews of your raw images that reflect the processing of the raw image that is done by the camera. If you use the jpegs and not the raw images, the images should not change when you open them to edit them in Aperture. But the raw files are the original, unprocessed data as read from the sensor and do not show any in-camera processing at all, and that is what you will see in the Editor window. When you import raw to Aperture, you will have to start from scratch. Aperture will not apply the processing, that your camera does to the jpegs.

I just accepted an upgrade for iphoto while I was using it and lost most of my photos? Is there a way to get them back?

I deleted some photos by mistake, can i get them back?

i deleted some photos by mistake, is there any way to get them back?

Hi,
First, don't give up and DO NOT restore your ipad. That will guarantee your pictures will be gone. Can you give more info? Has it been synced with itunes before/after you took the pictures? Please let us know all info including whether or not you use icloud backups.
Meanwhile, you might want to read this - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5463971?start=0&tstart=0.
More info might help you get more specific info to retrieve your pictures.
Also, I just googled the question "how retrieve deleted pictures from ipad" and a list of sites/links came up. I haven't/don't have time to read them right now, but if you google it you might get some answers. However, don't act too fast. Know the source of the links and consider those sources. Read them and user reviews/responses to see if the different solutions work.
Hope this helps.

Accidentally deleted my photo album - how can I get it back?

I accidentally deleted my photo album in iPhoto. Now it's gone.
I have a backup on an external HD.
But when I start time machine and go back to the last backup, I can only find all the photos, but not the albums. Can please anyone help? Thanks

Since the albums are just pointers to the images and some extra information, they don't really exist separately, but are stored in the database.
The best plan is to restore the whole library from the backup and re-import any added pictures.
(Congratulations on having a backup!)
You could use time machine to create a *duplicate* library, remove everything from the duplicate except the photo book and the images it contains and then use the third party iPhoto Library Manage go merge the duplicate back with the original, but that sounds like too much work for me. 8^)

Lock Photo app lost all my photo's. Can I get them back?

I had an app that was supposed to keep some of my photo's/video's private per password (LockPhoto HD). It worked fine until the last update. I went in to view a photo and all I have left are empty folders. The folders are still named, but my photo's are gone.
There is no way to contact the software developer or Costani about this app. This has happened to others, too, as the reviews of the app indicate. I have followed the app troubleshooting tips in Support, but nothing.
Is there a way to get my photo's back? How can I contact the developer/company to ask for a fix? Thanks for any help.

There's pretty much nothing anyone here can do for you. It's up to the app developer to support their product.

HELP!! I had two libraries in iPhoto, Photos imported the wrong one, and now I have lost 10,000 photos. How can I get them back??

I originally had two libraries in iPhoto, my wife and I share two iMacs at different locations but we wanted to share the photos and it was set up this way Apple Geniuses at the store I have no idea why. Anyway, I updated to OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.3 with the new 'photos' app. It asked me to choose one of the libraries and evidently I assume I must have chosen the wrong one. It only imported 322 random photos, not the 10,000+ we had in iPhoto. I can no longer find these photos or the other library anywhere, it appears to have been deleted. I have tried 'alt' clicking the icon which used to open a 'choose library' box, but this no longer works in photos or iPhoto. I have no idea where it has gone and it contains precious memories over the years including the birth of our children. Can someone please help???

Where is your iPhoto library stored?
my wife and I share two iMacs at different locations but we wanted to share the photos and it was set up this way Apple Geniuses at the store I have no idea why.
Since you are sharing it between two Macs, is the library on an external drive or a NAS, or another remotely mounted volume?
If the library is not on a directly connected disk, formatted MacOS Extended, move the original iPhoto Library to a directly connected, correctly disk.
And the try first the iPhoto Library First Aid Tools on that library. Repair the permissions, and repair the database in iPhoto. Then try to migrate again to Photos.
To repair hold down the alt/option and the command key simultaneously while double clicking the iPhoto Library to launch the iPhoto Library First Aid tools. Hold down both keys firmly and long enough, until the First Aid panel will appear.
The select "Repair Permissions". And then repeat, but select "Repair Database"
But make a current backup of your iPhoto Library before you try this.
