Photos dont show up on windows

I backed up some photos to my iphone 3g. These pictures were some i took with a digital camera. I restored my operating system and now i want to put the photos back onto my computer but they dont show up anywhere. Any photos i took with my phone show up. When i plug my phone into my computer it tries to import my photos but doesnt find anything new but i know there are photos on the phone that are not on the computer. I tried looking in the iphone files through my computer and found only the photos taken with my phone.
Any ideas how to get the photos back onto my computer?

The iphone is NOT a backup device.
It optimizes photos for viewing on iphone - reducing size and quality.
The photo sync is also only ONE WAY - computer to iphone.
You could e-mail them to yourself, but they will not be of the original quality.
Did you fail to backup your pics?

  • New computer- photos dont show up from hard drive

    Hi,
    I got a new computer and when I opened iphoto with my hard drive connected, it says the pictures are there, but they don't show up. I have a screen full of exclamtion points.
    Help?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That "!" indicates that iPhoto has lost the path to the original file, i.e. a damaged database file in the library. Run the three fixes below in order as needed:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
    2 - rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    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 User/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: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos.
    3 - start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
    Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    Open the library package like this.
    Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open Photo window
    This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Photos dont show

    I have sinc the photo folder via Itunes, they show on the all photos option but when I select one it does not show on the ipod screen, what its wrong???

    hola
    I had the same problem. Took the following steps:
    1. I just went to Itunes-Ipod-turned off the sync.
    2. Diconnected the ipod.
    3. Then changed in Itunes the sync on.
    4. Connected again the ipod.
    5. So again sync took place.
    6. Then disconnected and it worked (ea in the menu foto's were shown and if selected also)
    Hope it works.

    im making a photo slide show using imovie. how will i make a dvd copy that can play in both pc and dvd player.  i dont have an idvd anymore. m using a mbp early 2011 osx 10.8.5.
    after making the photo slide show, i clicked share>export movie.  after which i burned using toast. the file became a .mov.  i tried playing it in my mac and it worked. my fear now is will it also play in a regular dvd?... i read from google that mov files won't run in dvd players.  what format should i convert it to so it'll play in a dvd player.  can you suggest a faster way i can burn my projects for it takes me almost an hour to export.  im going to make 28 slideshows for my kids in school. *=( if i need to do this process 28 times, i may not be able to finish it on time.  please suggest a software or an alternative as to how i should do this... m more comfortable using imovie than iphoto.  thanks and i hope to hear from someone soon *=j

    Thank you QuickTimeKirk...used toast to burn project... my project was in .mov, i tried to play it a dvd player, it did play... will try again tomorrow using another dvd player just to be sure it'll will really work with dvd players.  thank you again for your reply *=)

  • Lightroom watermarks not showing up in Windows explorer.

    Quick question for everybody. I imagine there's an easy solution for it, I just haven't been able to figure it out.
    The company I work for needs to manage and watermark many different types of photos (perfect for Lightroom.)  The only problem is, when Im uploading photos to our website, the Lightroom watermarks dont show up in the thumbnail preview of Windows Explorer. When I right click the image thumbnail and select "preview" the full size image preview pops up with the watermark. I guess my question is, is there any way to get the Lightroom watermarks to show up when viewing files in Explorer in large thumbnail view? It would save my a lot of time and frustration.
    Thanks ahead of time!

    Im including this image in case I did a terrible job of explaining my problem.

  • I have exported my bookmarks to an external drive. I want to import them back and they dont show when i click import..

    When i click import, then open external hard drive the bookmarks dont show. If i open the external drive via 'start/computer' i can see them in it ok,.

    Yes, that is a JSON backup, so you need to remove the .html file extension and add a .json file extension instead.<br />
    If Windows is stubborn and doesn't want to change the file type but merely changes the name to bookmarks.json.html then try to add quotes around the name when renaming or (temporarily) disable hiding the file extension.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
    Note that restoring a JSON backup will replace the current bookmarks, so you lose any bookmarks that aren't in the backup unless you first export the bookmarks to an HTML file.<br />
    Then you can import that file after you've restored the JSON backup.

    mlvov,
    I did as you said and went to the icloud control panel on my Windows 8 Laptop to be sure I was looking at the correct folder for my photo stream.  All my "shared" albulms pushed to my Laptop and are up-to-date with the exception of the "photostream" album. If I create a "shared stream album" and place photo's in it on the phone; I can see the photos on my laptop. I dont get it. I had a iphone 4s and had zero isues and now with my new nifty iPhone 5s it doesent work.
    What am I not doing correctly.
    Thanks,
    iPhone, 5s, iOS 7.0.2

  • Photo Gallery shows error message when opening and closes right after it

    Hi,
    I have Photo Gallery installed on my computer and my photos are in an external hard drive. At the beginning worked well. But today I tried opening Photo Gallery and it shows an error only giving you the option to click "Accept". After you accept
    the error, Photo Gallery closes.
    The error goes as follows:
    "One or more folders included in Photo Gallery is offline and is preventing Photo Gallery from starting.
    Either remove offline folders from Photo Gallery using Windows Explorer, or make sure that all folders are inline and try starting Photo Gallery again"
    Why did this happen and how can I fix this, I tried repairing and uninstall/reinstall Windows Essentials and it didn't work.
    Help please!, thanks!

    Hi,
    Consider Windows photo gallery is part of Windows Essentials, we have a better forum to seek help for problems related with that:

  • My events photo albums have all been renamed with a number followed by IMPRT instead of the date which was how they were originally named. Also the photo now showing on the top of each folder is not actually in that folder. How do I restore?

    My events photo albums have all been renamed with a number followed by IMPRT (deleting the date on which they were taken) Also the photo now showing on the top of each folder is taken from a different event and so is not actually in the album it is sitting on top of. This happened when I linked to itunes. Any idea how to restore it to how it looked before?

    One thing that I find odd is that iTunes used to rebuild the .itl file when you deleted it.  It seems as if the newer iTunes somehow broke this old capability.  If you delete the .itl file it can't rebuild it- it simple treats this as if this is a fresh installation and completely ignores the fact that the .xml file has all the data in it.  I think Apple needs to bring back this old "feature".  Of course, the negative with that was that you lost all of the "Date Added" info along with some other stuff but at least it still kept the favorites info etc. (and I think maybe even the path although I don't believe I ever tried that because my account path has never changed until now).
    One side note: I can't find where the iTunes Windows SDK is.  I was hoping to try to use that to access the .itl "database" and write a utility to fix this situation.  Seems like this has moved from its original location...

  • Downloaded photos not showing up in the usual places.

    I just downloaded 300 pictures from a CD.  The pictures only show up in the "last import", they don't show up in "photos", or "events".  In addition, when I go to Costco site to upload photos, none of my 2012 photos are showing up.  I click on iphoto, then originals, then 2012.  Some numbered photos appear, with no names and no pictues in them when I click on them.  I upgraded to iphoto 11 probably in January, but haven't had a problem until now.
    Thanks for any help

    If they are in Last Import then they are in the Library - somewhere.
    Usual reason is that they are not where you expect them to be either because the date on the imges is not what you expect, or the Sorting is not what you expect (View Menu -> Sort Events / Photos)
    Right click on one of the images in Last Import and choose 'Show Event' to bring you to the relevant event.
    I'm not sure what ypu're referring to when you talk about uploading to Costco (or anywhere). There is no access to an 'Original' folder in iPhoto 11 - in fact, there is no such folder at all.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • Imported Photos not showing up in Library of I-Photo

    I am converting old slides on a Wolverine SNaP converter.  The digital images show up in the "Last Import" window after importing them, and I can drag them into a folder I create, but when I go to the Library they aren't there.  Does anybody have a similar experience?  How can I get them to show up in the Library?

    Thank you.  I did find it.  I am not familiar with the way things get organized in iphoto.  I expected new photos to show up at the bottom of the library as they usually do.  I still haven't found them when looking in the library itself but I did find them when looking at the events.
