Pics are gone

I uploaded the new iPhoto app, and my pics are gone. How do I get my pics back?

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 10 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.

  • All my pics are gone???

    Hello
    it has been a few weeks since I logged in into my iweb. A month ago I upgraded to iWeb08 (v2.0.3) and today when I click on some of my pages that contain pics, they are all gone. I am left with the default pages with empty icons that say "drag photos here". There's only 3 icons just like the default page, but my pages contained more than 30 pic per pages. The pages containing video are untouched and are ok.
    So what is the problem??
    I recently upgraded to iphoto 08 as well, andI was wondering that since ip08 organizes photos by events, maybe iweb is not able to find the original pics in ip08 hierarchy!!
    What could be the problem.... ???

    Another question,
    Now that all pic are gone from iWeb, if I should publish, it will erase all my picture on my pages on the web.
    So is there a way to only publish a new page without affecting all the other ones?

  • My pics are gone?

    Trying to connect to pc my pics are gone..i did something wrong probably but i got i window with: securitycopy has been taken. But where?
    Sorry my bad english.

    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management. 
    Where is your Library? On your Mac or the External?
    What format is the Externl?

  • IPHOTO CRASH, PICS ARE GONE

    Hi guys
    So i was importing my pictures to IPHOTO from my iphone and when it was finishing its import, it suddenly CRASHED and when i  reopened iphoto, SOME OF MY PICTURES THAT I SAVED BEFORE ARE GONE AND I COULD NOT FIND THOSE. it's like it just went to another dimension
    PLEASE HELP :(
    My device is a 21inch iMAC, 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5

    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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

  • All iPhoto pics are gone! Please help!

    Today I emptied my trash, which I have done in the past with no problems. But now I see that I have NO photos in iPhoto, which had about 1,200 2 hours ago.
    Could someone please tell me simply what happened---I am not a techie---and if there is a way to restore the pictures? Where did they go? they weren't in my trash!!
    Thanks SO much....Beth

    Beth,
    If you didn't empty a trash can full of hundreds of files, then it's possible you moved the Pictures folder and it was dropped inside another folder. (Drag and drop makes that easy, and it would only have taken a split second.) Did you try the Finder Search for jpegs? Or search for all folders with the name Pictures. Or search for a file named "Library.iPhoto" which will point you to your iPhoto Library.
    To create a Pictures folder, navigate to Macintosh HD/ Users/ (your user name) or simply select the Home folder in the Finder sidebar. Do File > New Folder, then name the new folder "Pictures" exactly - with a capital P (but no quotation marks). The list of folders in your Home folder should look something like this: Desktop, Documents, Library, Movies, Music, Pictures (and perhaps a few others). To place the Pictures folder in the sidebar, simply drag it from the Home folder and place it where you want in the sidebar. This creates the alias.
    If you get a message as you are trying to create the Pictures folder that one already exists in that location with the same name, do NOT allow it to be overwritten. You don't want to overwrite your files with an empty folder, because then it really will be gone. This is why I strongly recommend that you do those Finder Searches before creating a new folder.
    I have more pictures in iPhoto now from this vacation!
    Have you already imported them? Where is your iPhoto Library folder? iPhoto places a new library into the Pictures folder by default. You can locate any file in your iPhoto library by right-clicking (control-clicking) its thumbnail in the iPhoto Window. Choose "Show File" or "Reveal in Finder" (different versions phrase it differently) from the contextual menu. A Finder window should then open with the file already selected. Use that window to trace the path of the file and locate your iPhoto Library folder. Is there a Pictures folder?
    Thank you for your kind words. My ability is somewhat limited by the fact that I use iPhoto 6 on Tiger, and have little recollection of the specifics of iPhoto 5 on Panther. There are some differences. If you need help with performing a Finder Search, you would get better advice in the Panther forum. (See, I'm still assuming that Pictures folder is still there somewhere. Things don't just disappear by themselves.) Of course, I'll do my best if you have any more questions for me.
    Let me know how it goes.
    Regards.

  • HT1751 I plugged in my IPhone and it tried to sync with my computer, I typed in my password wrong and now most of my pics are gone. Is there any way to get them back?

    I lost most of my pictures by typing in my password wrong after plug in. Is there any way to get them back?

    When you say you were "trying to run your computer in admin mode," what exactly does that mean? What did you do? Details here are critical. It's possible you are just logged into the wrong account, or something simple like that, and your files are all still there. On the other hand, it's possible they're all gone... in which case, what kind of backups do you have?

  • Icons pics are gone

    I've seen a couple of other posts about this but I haven't found an answer that applies to me.  I was using my macbook and did nothing different that I know of and all of the sudden my icons all lost their preview image.  This includes all of my pics that I used to be able to browse through in the finder.  If I do not open it in a program their is no preview image.  Did something get turned off that I am not aware of?  Any help would be appreciated.

    " 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.

  • I was transferring my information from my old iphone to the new one, and i forgot that i had some pictures in the new one. i did the restoring information and the pictures in new one are gone. how can i get them back????

    Only way to get it back is to restore your phone from a backup, if those pics were included in that backup.
    But most likely those pics are gone.
    What you should've done was import http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 the pics to your computer and after you restored from your old backup, you could sync those new pics to your phone via itunes.

  • I got a new Iphone last night. All was fine with icloud today Icloud is empty and my 1200 pictures are gone. What can be done?

    My Icloud pics are gone now that i got my new iphone. Can anything be done to retrive them?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't delete photos from Photostream without resetting it at iCloud.com, also you can't have 1,200 photos in Photostream.
    Have you tried turning Photostream off and on again.

    The voicemail system used for the iPhone is different from the voicemail system used on the rest of the Verizon Wireless network. When you activate the iPhone, you lose your saved voicemails from the other system. When you activate a non-iphone, you lose any saved voicemails from the iPhone voicemail system too.
