Photos disappeared after renaming them

My photos on photobooth disappeared after I renamed them. I clicked on "reveal in finder" and after I renamed them, I could no longer find them. Any idea where I should look?

You can always restore them from your iCloud or iTunes backup ...

All my Photos disappeared after I saved a photo from an email from my wife. I am running Mountain lion on Mac book pro 2012, help. What did I do wrong?

All my Photos disappeared after I saved a photo to Iphoto from an email from my wife. I am running Mountain lion on Mac book pro 2012, help. What did I do wrong?

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - 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 option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - 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. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Files double or tripple in size after renaming them

For months now, I have noticed that when I rename a PDF, it can double or triple in size (e.g, from 5mb to 15mb or from 12mb to 29mb). Surely changing a few characters isn't adding that much space to the file.
I am also having other difficulties related to Finder or Preview: Finder tags disappear while typing them in (in Preview).
I hope to try a reinstall after the semester ends to fix this, but I thought I would ask around in case I am just mistaken about this file-size-changing-thing. That shouldn't be happening right?

iMovie is a non-destructive editor, meaning that all original clips are maintained in the folder, even after editing. Until you render the movie to DVD, all the original files are still "in the background". Kind of hard for me to explain. Others here could give more technical details. You would have to delete your movie from the folder to regain all the hard drive space.
If your idea is to archive your movies, a better method is to record them back to tape. Otherwise, get an external drive to store the finished movies and then delete the original files.
One word of caution about emptying the iMovie trash. This has been known to cause problems with a work in progress and it is generally advised to leave the iMovie trash alone until your project is finished and burned to a DVD.

Why does my photos change after importing them?

I've shot hundreds of pictures from a wedding in sunny Toscana, Italy with a new Sony Hybrid Camera. They're all shot in RAW and looks good in the camera preview. When I import the pictures to Aperture, they look the same in the "filmstrip":
But then, after selecting them, they change into extremely overexposed versions that can't be used.
I don't get the same issue when I open them with Photoshop. What is going on?

Toning this down to half helped a lot. But now it looks kind of gray.
By default the settings should be o.k. Leave the "hue" boost at a higher value.
It's a pity, that your first encounter with Aperture is this bad.
Then you have to do all sort of tweaks and tuning to get them back in decent shape.
Is this your first encounter with RAW images as well? RAW photos will generally need a lot of tweaking, since the RAW format is the naked data right of the sensor, without any effects and adjustments applied. RAW is the image format for those photographers that want to develope and tweak the digital negative themselves. If you are happy with the RAW developement that your camera does, consider to set the camera to shoot high quality JPEGS or TIFF images. Then you will have the RAW developement of the camera as the starting point for your own tweaking and do not need to start from point zero and do the basic adjustments as well.

Photos disappeared after sync

Situation:
I have synced my photos from my iphone to my macbook pro laptop. There are around 1500 photos. After syncing, iphoto asked me whether I want to delete the original from my iphone, that I select yes. After I clicked yes, iphoto went to not responding. So I quit iphoto.
However once I have reopened iphoto, the new photos that i have synced into iphoto disappeared. They were just not there. So I reconnect my iphone. And deselect 'hide photos which are already synced'. Than I have found just less than 400 pictures left.
Question:
How can I retrieve those 1100 photos? or where did those photos go?
Information:
iphone-4s and updated
iphoto 09
Laptop: Mac OS X version 10.6.8|2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo|4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Please help me, iphoto has never done this before, and I am trying my best not to panic.

If you don't have a backup to fall back on which is the best solution try the following (assuming your using iPhoto 9 [11]): apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2

If you're running iPhoto 8 (09) the process is the same, only the windows that come up are different.

Photos disappear after upload

I'm having problems with my pictures disappearing after I publish them. They show up fine in iWeb but I just get a broken picture icon when I view my site online. It seems like they're not being added to the files folder in order to upload but I can't figure out how to correct the issue.
Thanks in advance.

Your logo doesn't show up on the index page because the file (logo_1.jpg) is actually in the index_files folder but it's being looked for in the Images folder. Similarly, oneweek_to_go3.JPG, the image which should appear in your '1 Week to Go' blog entry, is missing from the Images folder where it is expected to be. Have you at any time manually moved any of your image files around after publishing to your folder and before uploading?

Photos disappear after every reboot

Hello everyone, I need help!
Everytime I reboot my phone, My photos disappear and have to "restore". When i click on the Photos icon, They slowlyyyyyy reappear. Sometimes it even takes over an hour. There is a little spinning wheel that moves and next to it says "Restoring...". This happens every single time and its driving me insane. I have over 3,000 picutres on my phone, how do i get this to stop?
I now have an iPhone 5C on version 7.0.6, but i was having the same issue on my iPhone 5 on version 7.0.4.

Uninstalled ZoneAlarm Pro. No change. Uninstall BitDefender. Works perfectly.

Why do my newly imported photos "disappear" after I close the iphoto library?

I connect my camera or iphone and iphoto automatically opens. I click on import photos. Photos are imported successfuly. I can then crop, rotate, enhance each photo. I then close my iphoto. When I re-open iphoto my previously important photos are not there. If I reconnect my camera it will identify the photos that I just imported as new photo and will import them again. But as soon as I close iphoto they are not saved. To make this even more complecated my husbands profile allows him to upload photos. Why is this happening?

You're right the adjustments and changes are applied to the library as they are made.
Is this something that just started happening or is this a new Aperture installation?
If it has just started happening and nothing else has changed on your system then you should start with the Aperture 3:Troubleshooting Basics. I'd specifically look at doing a permission repair and library rebuild.
If this is a new installation where is your Aperture library located? Internal or external disk? If it is external make sure the disk is formatted as OS X Extended.
In either case post back with the specifics of your system.

Originals disappeared after renaming project

Hello!
After the import from a SD-card into a new project in Aperture I have
a) firstly deleted the photos (****!), then ...
b) created some new projects and finally ...
c) moved the initial photos from the new project into the other projects.
The result of all this is that all photos are still in Aperture (even in full-screen-modus) but the originals are not here anymore! Every time I try to edit/delete/export/send the photos Aperture refuses to do it and shows me in the error-message that the originals couldn't be found. Not even Spotlight/TimeMachine find them!
I could also repeat the whole process: I made new photos, imported them into a new project ... they were still there, even after restarting Aperture ... as soon as I rename the project Aperture said that the originals disappeared!
Do you have an explination for that?
And perhaps even a method to restore all the lost photos?
Desperately,
Vlad
P.S. iMac 3.06 GHz, MacOS X 10.5.5, 4 GB Ram, Aperture 2.1.2.

Honestly I cannot even remotely begin to figure out exactly what you did or did not do. My best guess here is that you imported the photos as referenced masters (leave images where they are option) and got rid of the masters at some point. If this is the case you are most likely SOL as the only recourse is to use a recovery program that takes forever to run and is the most successful the less volatile the file system/disk that it is recovering.
If you have a vault or other backup obviously they are still there. If not now is the time to fix your work-flow in a couple of ways.
RB
Ps. If this is not the case it is something inane but I will trust you when you say that they are gone. 99.9999% probability that Aperture didn't get rid of them if they are gone - you did. Gotta love all the folks espousing "only use referenced files no matter what".

Pics in iPhoto Disappeared after renaming iPhoto Library File in Finder

Friends,
I was working on my parents computer in an effort to help them organize their files, etc.
They have iPhoto 6 and I renamed the iPhoto Library folder in Finder. Obviously this is not a good idea since now there is no content (pictures) in iPhoto.
This action made a new folder (with the new name) in Finder's 'pictures' section. So, I tried to copy and paste (or maybe I dragged it, cant recall) the contents of the newly named folder back under the 'iphoto library' folder however, that did not make the photos reappear in iPhoto.
After moving (I think I highlighted & dragged) the file contents of the newly named folder back in the 'iPhoto Library' folder, I deleted the newly named/created file.
It appears as though the images are still in the original & modified folders however, no pics in iPhoto.
And, the irony of the entire action is that I was renaming the 'iPhoto Library' folder to 'iPhoto Library - Do Not Touch' so my parents would not mess with the content as they have done in the past. Apparently, I am the one who needs to stay away.
Thanks a bunch!

Thanks Badunit, and yes, you are correct about not having the newly named library to choose when holding down the Option key while opening iPhoto.....b/c I drug the contents back under the original iPhoto library folder and then deleted the newly name folder.
The individual pics seem to be in the modified & originals folder but I do not know how to get them back into iPhoto. Importing one by one doesnt seem like the correct option.
I attempted to rebuild the iPhoto library but that resulted in nothing happening when I choose that option.
I know there is a solution but I dont know the smartest next step. I have read related discussions that almost provide a solution.
Currently, I need to figure out a way to:
1) get what seems to still exist in the modified & original folders back into iPhoto even if it means loosing albums, keywords. I am hoping this route doesnt wipe out dates that the images were taken. If there is a way to get them back into iPhoto this route, I need instructions.
or,
2) I have a back up of the entire HD on an external HD. Would it be best to somehow use that to replace what I have on the computer HD? I do not know how to do this so for sure need guidance.
Help! I need to get this fixed today (i.e. father is getting an iPad for retirement at a big reception and I need the computer in working order to make it all happen so he has pics on the iPad to display at the event). I think I may have to page TD or Old Toad....
Thanks friends!!

Photos disappeared after phone Reset.

I had to reset my iphone after personal hotspot went missing from settings menu. Now all my photo Albums have disappeared. How do i get them back.

How do you do that? I updated to the latest iphone update last night and i have lost everything. Plugged it into itunes this morning and managed to get my contacts back. The only thing i could get from icloud was from photo stream, 9 photos compared to over 1500 i had on there.

Photo disappear after rebuilding library

Hi all,
It's very sad thing to happen on x'mas.. hope i can get some help here.
I don't know what cause the problem... so i'd better describe everything i've done.
My friend sent me some photos in his iphone to my email.
I then saved all those photos on my iphone.
I've checked them on camera roll after downloading..and it still works.
then i load the app "Polarize", and try to load the photos from camera roll.
Then it said there's no photos..
so then i went back to photo... it then started to "updating library" / rebuilding library...
then i waited... after rebuild...several hundreds of photos are gone...
I tried to restart...and they are still gone...
Since my laptop has taken to maintenance, it hasn't been backed up for a while now...
Please kindly suggest any solution...

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

Is there anyway to get photos back after downloading them from digital camera to iphoto?

Ok I am in panic mode because I just got home from vacation from Disney world and imported all of my photos into iPhoto like I normally do. Once it was completed I look at the photos and check them all out and accept the delete all photos on memory card option. Well I went to bed and my computer was on all night. When I came back this morning to put the photos into an album, there was an error message and I needed to reboot iphoto upon logging in. WHen I did all my photos that I just imported are gone. However, under my split events there are gray boxes showing where my photos were. Has anyone seen this happen and if so how to I refresh my iphoto or manage it after it crashes?
Please help

Was the backup before or after the update?
is you calendar syncing with icloud?

ICloud Photos Disappeared after enabling iCloud Photo Library

Hi,
I have quite a complicated problem.
About two weeks ago I bought a new iPhone 5S (now running iOS 8), to replace my ageing iPhone 5.
All my photos were backed up on the iPhone 5, and then restored onto my 5S.
Recently, when I enabled iCloud photo library (Beta) on my 5S, all of my photos from a period of time (January to October this year) became grey thumbnails on my iPhone. When I looked at an individual photo, a message: 'loading' was where the photo should have been.
The loss of all of these photos is seriously troubling for me, and anyone who can give me a solution to this problem will receive huge respect from me.

Hi goblue123,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that some of your older photos appear to have been removed from your iPhone after turning on iCloud Photo Library beta. Please read over the attached article for why this may have happened. If the photos are still on your computer, you can sync them back to your iPhone.
iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
What if some of my photos are missing after I turn on iCloud Photo Library?
iCloud Photo Library won't upload lower resolution photos and videos synced to your device from iTunes. You can use these steps to move the photos from your computer to your iOS device.
Best regards,
Joe

Has anyone experienced photos disappearing after editing the date? Lion, Imac, Iphoto '09.

I am beginning the daunting process of sorting through all of my photos to make sure the date is correct. I made a change on a couple of photos, they then disappeared, presumably to the correct date. However, when scrolling to the spot it should have been relocated to, it is not there. The missing photos are not critical to recover, but I want to make sure I have this resolved before continuing further. Thanks!

I do not understand - How did you change the date?
If you are doing it correctly using only iPhoto then the photo will not change it location in the event it was in
Please give more information
