Recover deleted video from iphoto

hi
i accidentally deleted my recorded videos from iphoto on macbook pro , then i changed the os version from snow leopard to mountain lion , can anyone help me with the procedure of recovering the deleted videos.. they are emotional and personal moments...i captured and i regret not having backed them...and i feel sad to lose them... please help me ..

With all that you've done, there's a very good chance that the files have been overwritten by new files.
However, if you wish to attempt to 'rescue' them, I can recommend (because I've used it on drives that are NOT DAMAGED) Data Rescue 3. $100 to ATTEMPT to recover the files, but if they have so much value to you, it may be worth a try.

Is there any way to recover deleted video from iPhoto?

I lost all my iPhone videos because iPhoto didn't export them properly. A whole month of video memories of my newborn's life are gone. Why would a program be designed to export photos and not videos if it allowed videos to be imported from a device?? I am beyond devastated. Files should ONLY be allowed to be dragged and dropped instead of having an "export" option. How in the world was I supposed to know my video files would be exported as blank files?? I know I should have checked the backups before deleting the originals from iPhoto, but I figured when a file was exported, it was copied as is to the external HDD. My question is this: is there ANY possible way to recover old deleted videos??

What version of iPhoto and system are you using?

When you import a video iPhoto creates a jpeg preview version of the first frame. When you export it out of iPhoto you only get the actual video file if you select Kind = Original. Either of the other two options give you the prieview image file.
If you have access to the library they may still be in there. Create a smart album with the criteria: Keyword = movie or File Name contains .mov. That should display all movie files in the library. Try the export Kind = Original and see if you can retrieve them.

Deleted videos from iphoto but they are still showing up in the finder?

I deleted all of my videos from iPhoto and moved them to an external hard drive because I wanted to free up some space on my MacBook Air. The files are no longer visible in the iPhoto application, but for some reason, when I look at the storage space on my computer, it is still showing that I have 8GB of movies on my computer. If I search in the Finder, it is showing that a lot of these videos that I deleted from iPhoto are still in a "Masters" folder in iPhoto. I am confused, though, because if I open iPhoto, the videos are not in there. I want these video files to be deleted for good - can I just go in to the "Masters" folder in the Finder and delete them there? I've read not to delete anything from iPhoto in the Finder, though. So, getting very frustrated because I'm not sure why these files aren't fully deleted off my computer. Any suggestions?

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.

Is there a way to recover deleted videos from my iphone without buying software

Need to recover deleted videos off my iphone, the files are present but unable to restore without buying software. Is there a way restore videos without buying extra software?

Thanks for replying - no, I had not done a backup since the shots were taken and then attemped to put them in an album as I did not want to change the enviornment of the phone from when I had inadvertently delted them. Unfortunatlely, when asked "Do you want to delete these photos from all locations," I hit yes and they were also deleted from my Photostream.

HT1338 How do I delete videos from iPhoto? Dragging photo to trash or pushing delete does not work.

I've transferred all my photos and videos from Iphoto to an external drive and would now like to delete them from my Macbook pro. I've highlighted the videos and photos and press delete and nothing happens. Drag it to the trash bin and the trash bin will not accept the phot/video. Also, pressing the carrot at the bottom of the photo brings up a menu that includes trash, but the trash icon is not highlighted and is not available. How do I delete these from my mac hard drive in order to free up space? Btw, brand new macbook with updated software running 10.8.3.

I found the answer to my own question. For anyone else having these issues: push control and option keys anf then delete all 3 together and photos and videos will be delted.

HT201317 how to recover deleted video from photo stream in icloud

I have deleted a video from my iphone 4 photo stream before it was syncd to my computer. My photo stream is backed up to icloud. How can I recover the video I deleted? Thanks you!

Photo stream doesn't upload videos, just photos. If the video was in your camera roll when you last backed up your phone, restoring the entire backup should recover the video.
If you want to do this, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings (which will erase the phone), then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup. Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.

Recover deleted videos from SD card

I have a canon sx260hs. I deleted some videos on the sd card by mistake. Is there anyway to recover those videos.????

Don't use the card! Get some recovery software. The SanDisk one is supposed to be good, but I'm sure many others will do the same.

Recover deleted videos from iphone5?

I am trying to assist a colleague who has a video which has been deleted from an iphone 5 by accident. I know there are various file recovery programs for memory / usb based disk storage which can recover files which have been deleted but are still present on the card (ie just the header has been deleted but the file is present. Is there anything similar for the iphone / ios which may be able to recover the file?
Thanks
Nick

"They" claim this works...cost US $100. I have no idea if, in fact, it does:

Good luck.
Apparently doesn't support the iPhone 5, at the present time.
However, your friend needs to turn his/her phone off & stop using it to have any hope of data recovery.

How to recover deleted photos from iphoto

Help???
I tried to back up my iphoto pictures to an external hard drive. I guess instead of copy the 'iphoto library' icon from my Pictures folder, i copies the 'iphoto library' folder in the 'Aperture Library' folder.
Then i deleted some of my old photos thinking that I have backed up the images. But to my horror, when i copied the 'iphoto library' folder from my external hard drive back to my laptop, it doesn't work.
How can i retrieve my photos??

You'll need file recovery software like File Salvage

How can I find and delete videos from iPhoto?

When I use iMovie to create a video for You Tube the program loads every bit of video I have in iPhoto. I have attempted to delete all of the old, unused, videos but they do not all appear in the library list. I have several videos that come up in iMpovie that I can't find in iPhoto. Thanks for your help.
Stu

Use the serach feature at the bottom of iPhoto and enter "movie". All movie files imported into iPhoto are automatically given a keyword, movie.
Or you can create a smart album with the following criteria: Keyword is movie. Select all the movie files and use the key combination Option+Command+Delete to move the files to the iPhoto Trash Bion. Then empty the iPhoto trash bin and the Trash bin in the Dock..

I deleted a video off my iPhone 5. Is there any way to recover this? I have read the Wondershare is a file recovery program that my work, but its $100 USD and I was wondering if there was any other way?

There is no Apple supported way to recover video that you delete if you have not made a backup of it.

How to recover deleted videos from iPhone 5c?

I accidently deleted a video I need for work and it did not back up on iCloud. Help. How do I recover it?

unless you backed up the phone to itunes then that video is lost.

Is there a way I can recover deleted videos from my camera roll, I didn't have a chance to back them up?

If I went in to an Apple Store would they be able to restore it for me?

If you do not backup with iCloud - you will not be able to restore them from that backup. Do you backup your iPad at all - with iTunes or with iCloud?
Going into iCloud.com will not restore anything from iCloud. The way that you restore from an iCloud backup is to erase the device, start all over again and reactivate and then restore from the iCloud backup when prompted.
Bottom line is if you do not backup with iCloud, it will not matter anyway, but this explains how to restore from a backup.

How to recover a deleted video from iphone4s?

Is there any way to recover a deleted video from iPhone 4s?

So, have you accidentally deleted them from your iPhone? I did the same thing a couple weeks a go. Here is the solution I found about the method to recover deleted videos from iPhone 4S:
If you have back up your videos, you can restore from the backup.
If you have no backup for your data on iPhone, iPhone Video Recovery software is your last shot!
Just like a hard disk, if you have been using the iPhone since you deleted the files, the probability of successful recovery becomes less and less, as the data area they once occupied gets over-written by other apps and usage.
Honestly, so many people think a backup is optional, when in reality it is not, it is very important.

Hw to recover deleted video in iphone 4s

i HAD DELETE ONE VIDEO BY MISTAKELY PLS RECOVER IT. ITS VERY URGENT FOR ME

Generally speaking, you can recover deleted videos form iPhone 4S in 2 different ways:
If you have ever synced before you deleted video, you can scan and extract iTunes backup to recover videos from your iPhone 4S.
If you don't synced, you can directly scan and recover deleted videos from your iPhone 4S. However, you need the help of iPhone recovery tool, otherwise you will not be able to do.
I hope it can help you!
