Re-sizing photos from recovered deleted files....

Hi all,
Recently I had the bad experience of a "Tech" deleting all my photos, documents, tunes etc, when he reinstalled the OS during a repair visit. Yeah, I know!
Anyway, I got the computer to Mac Medics and they were able to recover most or all of the deleted files. Yay...
While going through the photo files, I found, so far, most of the pictures that I cherished the most. But, they had been shrunk down to small 160x120kb pics.
All of these pics that I took were at least 1000kb or larger. Some had been reduced to just the faces and were of poor resolution.
I am wondering if there is any way to restore them to proper size? I looked at the "revert to original" option, but it is not highlighted on any of the photos.
Is there any tricks to restoring the recovered photos or am I .....
I have to tell you also, I do not like the new iphotos. I liked the photos on one screen that you could look at at scroll down.
Thanks,
Brian.

Sorry Brian, but they didn't recover your photos, they've recovered the thumbnails that iPhoto uses for display in the iPhoto Window.
I am wondering if there is any way to restore them to proper size? I looked at the "revert to original" option, but it is not highlighted on any of the photos.
No, in a word, there isn't. You cannot "revert" because these are now your "originals".
Is there any tricks to restoring the recovered photos or am I .....
You could ask them to scan that drive again and ask them to recover image files +only larger than 400kb+.
I have to tell you also, I do not like the new iphotos.
That's iPhoto.

Have you tried Photos view?

    How i can recover deleted files from icloud,,I had a backup copy on iCloud for whatsapp application and I lost it,,I need bring it back what I have to do

    You can't download pictures from iCloud by logging into icloud.com.  If you deleted pictures from camera roll AND photo stream, the only possibility is preforming a restore from an iCloud backup, assuming the backup has the pictures in it.  (Many users have been unable to restore and get back their pictures.)
    If the restore doesn't have all the pictures, then they are gone.
    In the future, use photo stream to sync photos from an iPhone to a computer, then copy the photos on the computer from the photo stream album into a permanent album.  Photo stream pics stay there only for 30 days, and only up to 1000 photos are stored.  Don't use photo stream as a storage medium, it's only for copying photos from one device to another.  Always copy (either via USB cable or photo stream) to a computer and then move to an album.

    Is it possible to recover deleted files from the Microsoft Word app for iPhone? I am desperate.

    From the Microsoft Word app they say "Access Word documents from OneDrive, Dropbox, iCloud, OneDrive for Business, or SharePoint" so it sounds like you can specify where they are saved. However, my guess would be that the default will be OneDrive.
    To the OP: Have you tried logging into onedrive.live.com to see if you can see your letter there?

    Extremely unlikely, as they will have been over-written several times.
    Possibly a professional data rescue firm can try, but that will cost you a four-figure sum.

    You need File Salvage
    It costs $80 to download, but if you need to recover accidentally deleted files, it works.

  • RECOVERING DELETED FILES... PLEASE HELP!

    Please help me...is there ANY way to recover a deleted file that was deleted FROM the trash can? I put the file in the trash can because I thought it was copied then I emptied it out.
    IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN GET IT BACK? IT IS AN EMERGENCY
    Macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Basics of File Recovery
    If you empty the Trash the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When you delete files you erase only the directory entries, not the files themselves. However, the space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten with recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
    Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.

  • How can I find a photo from the backup file in my pc?

    How can I find a photo from the backup file in my pc?
    I have accidentally erased a photo. It happened after the backup.

    I am not aware you can extract a single photo or a single app's content from the backup, you can either restore the whole backup to your phone or not restore. If you restore your last backup to your phone then any content that is currently on your phone will be replaced with what was on it at the time that the backup was made - so if you do decide to restore, first copy off any purchases to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases, and copy any documents/files that you've udpated on the phone since the backup.

    I can't import photos from a card, file or anything.  I get "could not copy a file to the requested location".  I have never had this happen before.  I use a MacBook Pro

    I also have the exact same issue.  New IMac, installed LR, imported approximately 900 photos no problem, across the network from a Windows PC.   The import stopped when the network connection was lost.   Now I cannot import for the same reason "could not copy a file to the requested location".  I have plenty of disk space and i have permission to the needed folders.   I cannot even import from a folder already on the IMac.   

  • Recovering an Entire Folder from Recover Deleted Items

    Question:
    If an entire folder is deleted , placed in Deleted Items, then Deleted Items is emptied ... can the entire Folder be recovered to Deleted Items from
    Recover Deleted Items function?
    I seem to recall that this was once possible - but when I test with Outlook 2013 with my Exchange Server 2013 - only the mail items come back to Deleted Items - the original folder is not restored.

    The Recoverable Items folder resides in the non-IPM subtree of each mailbox. The non-IPM subtree is a storage area within the mailbox that contains operational data about the mailbox. This subtree isn't visible to users using Outlook, Microsoft Office Outlook
    Web App, or other email clients.
    I would refer you on this informative technet gallery that will help you to understand this concern in depth and recover the entire folder into previous used version back :https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee364755%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx
    Also, please check this another helpful resource :https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff660637%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx
    Moreover, if you wish to manage this task automatically, you may also give a shot to this automated solution (http://www.exchangeserverrecovery.com/) that could be a good alternative approach in such critical
    circumstance.

  • Keeping photos from being deleted from folders

    I am wondering if there is a way to keep photos from being deleted from a folder if they're deleted from the library, like some kind of safeguard. Here is my dilema: I import, say, 50 photos from shooting a band. I choose 5 of those 50 to add to my 'portfolio' album, and no longer need all 50 photos in my library, as they take up much space. So, I select all 50 photos as a group in the library and delete them, but lose the 5 that I put in the 'portfolio' folder. Is there any better way to clean up my library, and not lose the portfolio pictures, short of going one by one and deleting only the ones from the library that I know I don't want to keep? Any imput is greatly appreciated. Thank you all.

    Hi chado404,
    The albums only point to the photos within them, meaning if you delete from the library you are also deleting any of those photos from the album also.
    If you take these 50 photos in a photo shoot, do your deleting first then put the remainder in an album. To help you, you can give the photos you want to keep a star rating. When you are done, select all as a group, then command click on the photos with the star rating to de-select just those, then delete the rest.
