Recovered Photos Album

I had a Recovered Photos album (in iPhoto 9.5.1) containing1,002 pics probably created during a corrupted library rebuild.
I trashed these pics then discovered I shouldn't have.
I selected all the pics in the Trash folder >Photos>Put Back these pics and they again reside in an album called Recovered Photos and all the metadata, location, and Faces info is present when I select a photo.
So I'm back where I started. I want to move these photos out of the Recovered Photos album so won't have additional photos mixed with original group should another corrupt library rebuild occur.
What do I do to get these pics out of my the Recovered Photos album?
Can I selcted all>Events> Create new Event then delete them from the Recoverd Photos album?
Note: I am being especially anal about this process because this Recovered Photos album contains pics of my recently deceased mother and brother. I have them backed up on an external drive but I want them also in my working iPhoto Library so I can work with them.
Thank you for your time and attention.

Its too slow and painful to individual put them back in the correct event. Is there a solution?
Or should i delete my whole library and re-import?
Restore from your back up? Other than that what's the least painful for you?

Recovered Photos album automatically created, but no error messages.

Previously when I opened iPhoto, I received a message (or rather 2 {I believe} duplicate messages) about importing recovered photos. I clicked OK and it created a Recovered Photos album, but its contents were empty. I deleted this album by putting it into iPhoto's Trash. When I reopened iPhoto, I received the message again, but this time it created a "Recovered Photos 2" album.
I quit iPhoto and deleted the Import folder from my iPhoto Library. Now I don't get any messages, but the Recovered Photos (not Recovered Photos 2) album is still there. If I trash it and restart iPhoto, the it is automatically created again.
How can I stop iPhoto from automatically creating the Recovered Photos album? I'm not receiving any error messages or messages whatsoever.

Addendum to all about this question - I am trying to import my original CDs - hangs and does nothing at first track. Trashed the .plist, no help. Reinstalled fresh copy of iTunes - helped - FOR ONE DISK. After that, same problem.

Help re: Recovered Photo Albums

Hi there,
I have an album in my iPhoto library called recovered Photos. When I open it up it shows 50 jpgs but doesn't show the picture of what it is. When I click open, it won't open and it shows that I have images in there, but when I click to open it won't show anything except the image name at the top. I just don't want to delete this album in the case that I don't have it in another Album.
Any help would be appreciate please.
Tracey

Thanks for that Nancy,
yes I've done all that the site is up and all created wih several pages.
I created t in fronpage first and have been editing it and 'Put'ing files up for the past few days.
The only thing that doesn't seem to work for me is creating this photo album
I'm trying to create the folder by poiting the source files at a local files folder which I'm sure is the correct way.
When you select folders with images in are oyu able to see previews of the files
Hope this makes sense..
thanks

Recovered Photos Albums???

I started to imported over 1400 pictures. iPhoto stopped after 609. It asked if I wanted to continue. I said yes. It started again. It seem then to reload the same ones again. So I started the import all over again. Seemed to load all 1400 plus. Now I have a Recovered Photos 3 album in my Albums Folder. How do I know if these picture are in my Events. Do I move this photos into the Event named as today's date???
Also every time I open iPhoto it says 15 photos are not loaded, do you want to load now. I say yes. Recovered Photos folder is then always empty.

Control (right)-click on one of the photos and select Show Event from the contextual menu.

Trouble with recovering Photos & Albums

Hiya, I've not long formatted my computer and when I plug my iPad in, it keeps saying that if I sync with my computer then it will erase everything... So I was wondering if there is a way that I can import and save all my Photos (& Albums). Hopefully someone can help me because the photos mean a lot!
Thanks,
Mark.

If the photos are in your Camera Roll then you can transfer them to your computer by connecting the iPad to your computer as a camera. Do not use iTunes.
Otherwise, use the Photo Transfer App from the App Store to move the photos to your computer. See here: http://phototransferapp.com

IPhoto 6 Hangs When "Recovered Photos" Are Opened

iPhoto 6 "recovered" 300+ photos when I updated from iPhoto 5. I can still see the recovered photos in both my library and albums, but if I double-click on the photos, iPhoto 6 hangs with a spinning ball icon requiring a Force Quit to recover. I can open the photos in the "Recovered Photos" album, but I'm not sure how to get them back into my library and other albums. Has anyone been able to do this?
Thanks, Will

When upgrading to iPhoto 6, the 'recovered photos' it finds are stored as follows:
a if you opt to import the photos when iPhoto asks, they are left where iPhoto found them (or lost them, depending on how you view it...) in the 'year' folder system, within the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder; e.g. 2005>12>15>photo.jpg, 2003>10>05>photo2.jpg etc. Within iPhoto itself the photos are grouped in one new roll, and an album is created in the Source list called "Recovered Photos".
b if you opt not to import the photos, they are moved from the 'year' folder system in the Finder into one folder within the iPhoto Library folder, entitled "Recovered Photos". The 'year' folders can be deleted, if they are still there - you should find that they are empty and they are not used by iPhoto 6.
In Case b you can move the "Recovered Photos" folder to anywhere you like, e.g the Desktop, as the photos are no longer associated with iPhoto. In fact, if you decide you need to import some or all of the photos back into iPhoto, you will have to move the RP folder to another location as iPhoto will disallow any import from within the iPhoto Library folder.
Take care either way; in my case I had 1014 recovered photos, which included all of the following:
a originals of some of my photos, the edited versions were still in iPhoto
b random duplicates of original photos
c photos, both original and edited versions, which I had deleted long ago - sometimes as long as 2-3 years, many versions of iPhoto ago!
When I have chance soon I intend to document my own personal recovery procedure / experience, in case it helps anyone else when upgrading. In the meantime, feel free to ask if you have any questions...

Newly imported photos moved to recovered photos folder

I've been using iPhoto for a while and have a large library, but now when I import photos they go immediately to a recovered photos album and then they disappear when I quit iPhoto. Very frustrated because I have lost many pictures.

Paul
I confess I'm utterly confused about this.
I've never seen a Recovered Photos Album in the Source WIndow, though I have seen a folder in the iPhoto Library Folder.
IF these photos are in an Album the have to be in your Library.
Can you repeat the process and see if you can find the pics in your Library?

Hard drive crashed. How do I recover all photos/albums from backup/synced data to new HD? PSE8

Hard drive crashed. How can I recover all photos/albums from Elements 8 backup/synced data sitting on my acct on Photoshop.com
to a new hard drive?

You would need to sign in to Photoshop.com with your account and need to select the online album you want to download to your desktop.

Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

I have 37 "recovered photos in my iPhoto album, how do I get rid of them

I have approximately 37 "recovered photos" in my iPhotos and everytime I access my photos, I get an error message that says I have 5 photos have been found in the iPhoto Library that were not imported. Would you like to import them now, and the "yes" button is highlighted.
Any idea how I can fix these two seemngly related problems.
I am using iPhoto '08

Quit iPhoto and to to the iPhoto library (by default in your pictures folder) - right click (control click) on it and select show package contents - find the folder named import (on importing) and drag it to the desktop - DO NOT MAKE ANY OTHER CHANGES - launch iPhoto and you will be fine.
Open the import(ing) folder and if there is nothing in it that you need move it to the trash and empty the trash

Can I recover a photo album that's been deleted?

I foolishly deleted an older photo album to make room. I did purchase the book, so I have it, but I would like the Project back. I've lost all the old Time Machine versions when I switched to a larger Time Machine last year. By chance, would Apple still have the actual print file?
John

no
they keep books for 40 days for reprints
Abums in iPhoto have notthing to do with boos - they are strictly local organizational elements
for the future it may make sense to create a new library just for each book so you can easily archive them

I'm using 3gs, after updating the OS with 6.1.3 version lost all my photo albums unable to retrieve through Itunes kindly help me in this regard.

Hi There,
A month ago I had 3gs with 4.1 OS version and I synced all my photo albums from my old laptop as I have planned to sell it off.
I sold my old laptop and accidentally kids at my home have pressed reset button and my phone got locked, now I got my phone permanently unlocked with a vendor and updated my OS to 6.1.3 version, thinking that my photo can synced again when I connect to Itunes, I bought my new laptop installed Itunes authorised it, it was able to restore my camera roll pics but not my album.
Please help me in restoring my lost album.
Thanking in Advance.

I'm sorry, but unless you hace a backup of your pics somewhere, they are gone. Photos synced to your phone are not part of an iPhone backup, & the photo sync is one-way: Computer to Phone. When you synced to a different computer, these photos were erased from your phone...by design, iPhone syncs iTunes content with one computer at a time.
Sorry, there is no way to recover this data.

How do I get synced photo albums transferred from iphone to my mac?

I recently had to replace my hard drive on my Macbook and now that I have replaced the drive I would like to recover the pictures on my iphone.
I was able to get the camera roll photos using image capture but I am unable to get the photo albums that were synced from my previous iphoto library. My iPhone 4S is jailbroken so I could go in via SSH but the problem is that I cannot even locate the photos.
Is there a way to get those photos back onto my Macbook?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Macbook 3,1 OS 10.6.8
iPhone 4S iOS 5.0.1 (jailbroken)

The photos "synched" from a computer to your iPhone aren't really the original photos. They're low resolution thumbnails suitable for display on the phone, but not practical for anything else. If you didn't bother to save the original photos before replacing your computer's hard drive, your pictures are gone.

Photo albums in iOS 5

Hi there,
I used to sync my iPad1 with iPhoto to create a dynamic display of our multiple product lines. Everything went fine until the iOS 5 upgrade.
For whatever reason, albums on the iPad now appear to be classified in a strange manner, unlike on iPhoto where I have ranked them by alphabetical order. I thought it would be solved if I sorted the albums manually on the iPad, to recover a convenient way of accessing each product line in no time.
The bad news is that I had to update a couple of photos in iPhoto. Guess what? When i synced my iPad to take these changes into account ... it went back to the original "order" of albums. So I had to do the manual sorting all over again. What an awful waste of time!
Is there any parameter or initiative that I am missing to get my iPad to suit my professional needs again?
Otherwise, I would hope that Apple developers realise that the present iOS 5 photo album classification is IRRELEVANT for businesses who use iPads for marketing purposes.
Thanks in advance for your advice.

I have named all my 16,000 photos when saving into appropriately named Albums in iPhoto. The albums are arranged in iPhoto in alpha order. My 3Gs has always mirrored that alpha order. It's annoying enough that you can't search Photos on iPhone by name (as you can in iPhoto, and even in Photo Browser in Apple Mail) but NOW, after upgrading to iOS 5, my Albums on iPhone are just some seemingly random order, album names starting with a "B", say, may be mixed in with "S"s or whatever, making it extremely inconvenient to find an album.
I cannot fathom the WHY for this. Please, Apple: I would love to see Search available for Photos on iPhone. But at the very least, PLEASE allow some way to restore Albums in alpha order on iPhone. Do this quickly, please. It is NOT sensible to have to scroll through randomly arranged Albums.

IWeb 09 major bug - losing site - believe it's photo albums and photo pages

I have repeatedly lost my site now 3 times since upgrading.
The problem appears to be when editing photo album pages with a few photo albums on them and then rearranging those albums and pages between sites.
I can't be more specific at this stage, as it's happening relatively randomly, but am curious if others have discovered similar problems.
FWIW I am recovering by using time machine and backups.

I too had major problems with iWeb '09. I was unable even to publish to a local folder without getting an error message "Unknown error" (really, really helpful). I published a site created and maintained by iWeb '08 four times to separate local folders within an hour, not changing the site at all during that period. Only about 90% of the contents were published. Typically what was missing was some photo albums and blogs, although not always the same photo albums.
After some careful poking about in my MobileMe-published site I noticed that some particular pages were not publishing to a local folder. Upon investigation I discovered that some of the photo albums, whilst appearing in the sidebar in iWeb '09, did not appear on the main albums page. It seems that, for whatever reason, iWeb '09 had lost the links to these. I deleted the pages from the sidebar and then turned my attention to Blogs. This was the other area where I noticed that publishing seemed to have a problem.
One of the problems seemed to be that there was a link to a, by now, 'lost' photo album. Editing the link and then re-publishing to a local folder at last cured the problem. I have yet to publish to MobileMe, but at last things are looking good in the 'test' phase.
It seems that, unless your iWeb '08-created site was relatively simple, some editing HAS to be done in iWeb '09 before publishing. I hope that this answers more questions than it poses!
