Photos are gone

I was doing the software update and I let it just go and I noticed that it got hung up in the middle of it but I left it alone. Later I came back to the computer and re-did the software update, meanwhile I went to iphotos and the photos are gone. I remember leaving the photos up at one point and not closing it a while ago before the update. But how can I get my photos back. I am going to DIE if they are gone. I got to iPhoto and the events and photos show 0. I tried the rebuild thing and it did not nothing. Can someone please help!! I mean all of my kids baby pictures were on there and no I do not remember backing any of it up. I am devastated. I do not know what to do but I found some of the photos under images when I went to the hard drive an it shows where they are in a  folder under iphotos and the month and year of the folder but when I go and click on that iPhoto folder it reverts back to the iPhoto where the pictures show 0! HELP PLEASE!!!!!!

Your best solution is to restore a backup copy of the iPhoto Library made just prior to the problem occurring. Otherwise, do the following:
Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download IPhoto Library Manager 4 for OS XC 10.6.8 and iPhoto  8.1.2 and later or iPhoto Library Manager 3 (for OS X 10.5.8 and iPhoto 7.1.5 and earlier) and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu (iPLM 3) or Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu (iPLM 4) option.
In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • I just created a new iPhoto library with holding the option key down and then opening iPhoto with version 7.1.5.  I changed the name of the first library to iPhoto library 1 and now I all my photos are gone.  My operating system is Mavericks.

    launch iPhoto wile holding down the option key and select the original library - when you create a new library of course it is empty
    And you seriously need to backup your iPhoto library and purchase and install iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x from the App store and download and run the iPhoto library upgraded \then run the new iPhoto - 7.1.5 is not fully compatible with Mavericks

    PS you also need to update your profile - it states that you have OS X 10.6.8

  • My friend wanted to get some of the music off my itunes. when syncing it needed to udate her phone which it did - now all her photos are gone. and the last back up was from when she used my itunes 6  ago. How can we get back her photos :(Please help

    My friend wanted to get some music off my itunes - when syncing it it said she had to update her phone software first - which it did. Now all her photos are gone. When we tried to restore the last back up - the only one was from when she used my itunes 6 months ago which was from her old iphone. So now it has put all her photos from her old phone onto her new iphone and deleted all the new ones. We cannot find her new photos. Please help and there was 100 new pics. Is there any way we can get them back. I already have the program Asoftech - but it doesnt seem to register the iphone only C and D drive. Please help!

    This is called "stealing". You do not have the legal right to give her the music you have in your iTunes library unless you are the copyright holder.
    when syncing it it said she had to update her phone software first
    That's not quite what it said.  Someone should have paid more attention to the great big warning about the possibility of losing data if the phone wasn't backed up.

    It restored the backup that was made on your computer 6 months ago, which did not contain those photos. You're wasting your time trying to find them on the phone. They don't exist.
    Hopefully, your friend syncs her phone to her own computer on a regular basis. She needs to plug her phone into her computer and restore it from her last backup. That will restore it to the state it was in when the backup was made.
    She also needs to get in the habit of extracting the photos on a regular basis, like she would from any other digital camera.

    You can get your information back if you have previously done a backup in iTunes or iCloud.

  • HT4859 How do I retrieve my photos from the cloud after a reset. My photos are gone from my phone, and I backed them up on iCloud?

    How do I retrieve my photos from the cloud after a reset. My photos are gone from my phone, and I backed them up on iCloud? when I restored it, no camera roll pictures?

    Try restoring the backup again.  Sometimes it's successful the second time.  You could also try restoring an older backup.  iCloud will have your last 3 backups is you have sufficient storage space in your account.

  • I synced my Iphone 4 with my sisters Itunes and now all my photos are gone? how do I get them back?

    I went to save photos from my iphone 4 onto my sisters mac and they wouldnt upload and when I disconnected my phone I had her photos on my phone and over 2000 of my photos are gone.. please help!

    " but the mac didnt allow them because of some apps on my phone s"
    What does this mean?
    How did you try to import those pics?
    You import pics from iphone just as you would from any digital camera.  They are not part of the sync process at all.
    I am trying to figure out what exactly you did.
    Bottom line is that the pics are gone unless you have a backup of your iphone on your computer from a time when the pics were on the iphone.
    In the future you should be importing your pics to your computer regularly.

  • Ipod photoes were copied onto another ipod and orginal photos are gone now can i get them back?

    okk so i have 2 ipod touches and i wanted both to have the same music and videos so i synced them both to one itunes. but then after i synced them both they were fine  after i noticed that the ipos have the same photos. from the device. so now one ipods original photos are gone and only have the photos from the ipod that was synced first. is there any way to get the origional photos back the ones before the sync????

    If the backup of the one iPod contains the photos just restore one iPod from that backup. Otherwise you are out of luck unless the PhtoStream contains the photos.

  • I insert a photo and save, but the next time I open iWeb, the photos are gone.

    I insert a photo and save, but the next time I open iWeb, the photos are gone. Does iWeb not save?

    Bummer!  Try this:  repeat the fixes and once the domain file seems to be working make a duplicate of it.  Then download BatChmod and run it on the duplicate domain file with the settings shown below:

    Open the duplicate domain file and run with it.  See if it reverts back to the bad behavior.  Can't think of anything else.

  • HT4623 I've just upgraded my iPhone from ios3 to ios6 and it has taken my phone back in time. My most recent photos and messages are dated from a year ago. My music is fine, just messages and photos are gone. HELP?

    I've just upgraded my iPhone from ios3 to ios6 and it has taken my phone back in time. My most recent photos and messages are dated from a year ago. My music is fine, just messages and photos are gone. HELP?

    Restore the device using the most recent backup.
    If you have not backed up the device recently, then there is nothing to restore.

  • I updated my iphone all my contacts and photos are gone. How can I retrieve them?

    I updated my iphone all my contacts and photos are gone. How can I retrieve them?

    Have you failed to use the device as designed?
    If using the iPhone as designed, contacts are synced with a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.  Pictures taken with the device would be copied off to the computer on a regular basis.
    If you have been using the device as designed, simply sync the content back.
    If you have not been using the device as designed, you can try restoring from the most recent backup.  However, if that does not restore them, they are gone.

    Are they selected to sync in iTunes?

    No Backup = No Photos... sorry.

  • I upgraded my iphotos and now all my photos are gone in all my albums.  How do I find them and put them back in? (1800 photos.)  Help.

    I upgraded my iphotos and now all my photos are gone in all my albums. (1800 photos.) How do I find them
    and put them back where they belong?

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later
    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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 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 and keywords 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. .

  • Hi.  I down load all of my pictures to iPhoto.  I was removing some even folders to make room, but DID NOT delete any of the ones I needed (and there are a lot of photos as I am a photographer just starting out).  All of my photos are gone.  ALL of them.

         Can anyone help me.  All of my photos from iPhoto are gone.  There are three weddings that I photographed and may other sessions (I am a brand new photographer and this is going to kill my business).  I am so sick to my stomach.  I was deleting some even files due to the fact that the start up disk was almost full but DID NOT delete everything.  I finished what I was doing and then went to dinner.  I came home to do more editing and EVERYTHING is gone.  EVERYTHING, but the iphoto program was still there.  Is there any chance that these pictures could still be somewhere on the hard drive?
    Thank you,
    Kari

    Did you use the finder to delete any photos that are in iPhoto?
    If so you have trashed your library - you choices are to put it back EXACTLY like it was, restore your backup or start over (right click on the iPhoto library and show package contents, drag the masters folder to the desktop, create a new library and start importing
    NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure or content of the iPhoto library - ONLY use iPhoto to manage yoru photos

  • Photos are gone from my iWeb page

    Hello, I have iWeb 3.0.2(489) I hope I am in the correct place. When I first got iWeb, I hadn't figured out how to create a separate iWeb for each of the categories, so I have one page, with several titles on the top, and I can just click on each "title", and get the page I want to view.
    The problem is, on just one of the pages, the photos are all gone. This is just a very recent development. After I select it, I get to the page, and the name is there on top of the page, but I cannot see the other names on top of that page, to select to leave the page , I just kind of click where I think the other names are, and get back to the first page.
    I have MobileMe membership, but MobileMe chat tells me this is not a MobileMe issue, the website is not being published properly. What I don't understand is if all the other pages are Ok, why just this one. All of my software updates are up-to-date.
    I hope someone may be able to offer some help, or suggestions as to why this is happening, which will be greatly appreciated. I realize that I may not be too clear in describing my problem so if you need more, or different information please let me know.
    Thank you!

    Those photos have not been uploaded to your MobileMe disk. The only file for that page that's there is the html file for the page. All of the supporting files are missing.
    First, set the publication destination to a folder on your hard drive (bottom left image)
    Click to view full size
    and publish the entire site to it. Drag the index.html file in that folder into your open Safari window. This will open the site locally and you can check those albums to see if the photos are there.
    If the photos are there and the site is complete reset the publication destination to MobileMe (upper right hand image in the screenshot above) and use the *File ➙ Publish Entire Site* menu option to upload the entire site again and check. If that doesn't do it make a small change to those pages, edit a word and then change it back, and publish the entire site again.
    If the above still doesn't work you can manually upload your site by mounting your iDisk on the Desktop
    Click to view full size
    and go to the iDisk/Web/Sites folder. There you will see your site folder and an index.html file. Now drag the site folder you published to your hard drive onto the iDisk to replace the one that's there. That will get your site fully loaded.
