Photos deleted by iPhoto via subfolders- now they can not be found
I deleted photos in various folders after they were put there by iphoto when the folder was created. I deleted the photos after reading iphoto WILL NOT permantly delete photos from the main library.
The photos are stored on a large 3T hard drive. Sometimes it is hare to even locate files via finder- I do not know why the spinning wheel just spins forever and wont open the folder.
Anyway- if there is a series of phtos taken DSC001, DSC002 etc all the way to DSC009.
so now that I have deleted photos in a sub folder- they do not show in the main PHOTO library. They also do not show in finder when I perform a search.
So first I'd like to locate and put my iphoto library as it was. I have already done all a couple complete "rebuilds" via the iphoto option. Nothing has changed- photos still missing.
After I hopefully find my missing photos (of my childred etc) I'd like to move all photos to aperature.
So- what is the best way to move the entire library to apperature and set it up to manage my photos from here on out?
What measures do I have to take to protect my photos in the future from losing them in aperature?
Thanks so much for any help.
Peace-
Jeff
iphoto11 is being used
That view is the Photos mode with Event names set to be viewed. It's viewing the same photos that you would be seeing in the Event mode.
Any photos in that window that are moved to the iPhoto trash and the trash bin emptied via the iPhoto ➙ Empty iPhoto Trash menu option will be removed from the library and moved to the Trash bin in the Dock. To remove from the hard drive one must also empty the Trash bin in the Dock.
If you've deleted from the Photos mode and emptied both the iPhoto and Dock Trash bins the photos are gone.
You're best bet is to restore the library from a backup make just prior to the deletions.
Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library
1 - from an Event or from the Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc.: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the trash bin as above.
NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from an Event deletes ALL occurences of that photo in the library.

I have files that say they are missing or offline. I have checked all my folders off of lightroom and they can not be found. I have used the ? mark settings to find and still not found. I can see the images on lightroom so they have to be in my system some how. How can I retrieve these images? Is there a re boot for lightroom? Need help ASAP!
You have probably moved the files outside of Lightroom. The images you see in LR are previews that were made before you moved the files.
Do a search for the files/folders using your computers operating system. (Explorer/Finder)
Once you have found them, you can point LR to the right location. -
Any ideas??? Have windows vista home premuim and can not find a phot shop that will work with it.
You can download a free trial version for PSE 10, 11 or 12 from this link:
<Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10>
You can use this trial version for 30 days after which you will need to buy a boxed version from Amazon and use the serial number from the box to activate your trial version.
If, however, you complete your project in the next 30 days then you don't need to buy anything. Money saved for something else.
Good luck. -

Can you recover photos deleted by iPhoto?
I uploaded hundreds of holiday pics then deleted them from my camera now they have gone from iphoto does anyone know if i can recover them?
If your iPhone had been synced since the photos were avaialble in the Camera Roll and your iPhone was not synced again since the photos were deleted from the Camera Roll, you can restore your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup - or you can try since this is no guarantee. Photos are included with your iPhone's backup but if there is a problem in regards to this data with your iPhone's backup or with the backup in general which includes a significant amount of other data, the photos may not be restored with the backup.
Since you have synced your iPhone with iTunes since the photos were deleted from the Camera Roll, your iPhone's backup was updated to reflect the photos no longer being avaialble in the Camera Roll.
Photos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer ASAP as with any other digiital camera. -
I transferred some photos to my iphone via email and they have very low resolution. First I sent them from iPhoto with highest resolution, then I transferred them to my desktop in highest resolution and added them to an email, opened the email and saved to my Camera roll. They all look like low resolution photos.This is the exact method I have used to transfer photos in the past with my 4S and never had a problem. What am I doing wrong? Is this a bad camera? HELP please! Thank you!
My husband has the same phone, we purchased them at the same time. I sent him the same photos in the same email that I downloaded them from and on his phone they show up with the normal higher resolution. Is it possible that there is something wrong with my iPhone or is there a setting that can be changed? I'm still learning to use it. All my other photos are of normal resolution. Does this make any sense to anyone?
Please help!

I had 250 photos stored in photo stream but i restore them now they are just 150. I m missing about 100 photos those were very urgent please please help
Photo stream only keeps photos in iCloud for 30 days, even though up to 1000 photos will remain on your device until you delete them (such as by restoring your phone). When you turned on photo stream again you only got back the photos added in the last 30 days as the others have already been removed.
If the missing photos were still in your camera roll when you last backed up, restoring the backup should recover them. (The backup includes camera roll photos but not photo stream photos.) -
Pictures were downloaded to an existing event but now they do not show up. They show in photo stream. I cannot copy them to the event. I cannot download them to the event because it says they are already in my library.
You need to tell us what you did and what you have (version of iPhoto and verify yoru OS version)
It is not possible to download (actually import) photos into an existing event - every import creates one or more new events
given virtually no information one can only guess - I'd guess that either your event sort is set incorrectly (view menu ==> sort events) or the dates on the photo are wrong so the event is not where you expect it to be - in that case you correct the dates using the adjust date/time command

hello, i have a problem with my macbook air. When i try to open my iPhoto i should wait about 3mins to get opened it and also in it just appeared around 57000 photos! in which i have 2000. they are not mine, the photos are pics of other people or things
If you want help you’ll need to give us more information. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have. -
I deleted i photo from search folder, reloaded the software and now I can not drag and drop to the desktop. Help
Look in the Applications folder to see if iPhoto is still there. If it is drag it back to the Finder Sidebar. If it is no longer in the Applications folder post back, you can also look in the Trash it might still be there.

how do I delete photo ALBUMS from my iPHONE 4?
I sync via icloud and I can not see any folders selected in itunes.
I searched the internet and basically there is no one who has the answer (so far)
to how you delete the iphone photo library and misc albums
I have also had every iphone and I am not stupid.
charles altmanReplying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

iPhoto - When I add new photos to iPhoto from my iMac they do not appear in the "Photos" library. They do appear in Last Import. Any thoughts?
If you are seeing your photos in "Last Import", the photos are somewhere in your library. Perhaps the dates are wrong, and you do not see the photos arranged by date, where you expect them to be.
Select one of the photos on "Last Import", then ctrl-click it and select "Show in Event". That will take you to the event in event view.
