Recovering Lost Photos

Hi...My wife just returned from a family reunion. She synced her phone to iPhoto. When prompted, she selected "Delete originals on device". AT THIS TIME...the iPhoto software crashed and quit. When iPhoto was relaunched, the photos are NOT visible in iPhoto. ON THE PHONE...All photos are erased.
Thanks in advance for the help. She's very upset and would appreciate any help anyone can offer.
Thanks agian!

Camera roll photos are contained in the iPhone backup. If the photos were on the phone when it was last synced, and you haven't synced the phone again since this happened you may be able to recover the photos by restoring the phone to your last backup. Note: this will revert all settings and data to those contained in the backupo, not just photos. If you want to do this, do the following:
Without connecting your phone, open iTuens on your computer and go to Preferences. On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
Connect your phone to your computer, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose your most recent backup to restore from.
When complete, you can go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.

How do I remove recovered photos (used photorec to recover lost photos) to have more space in my macbook pro HD?

How do I remove recovered photos (used photorec to recover lost photos) to have more space in my macbook pro HD?

Hello there, Shrid.
The following Knowledge Base article reviews how to Sync photos:
iTunes: Syncing photos
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
You will just sync to the new computer. Keep in mind:
Additional Information
Syncing photos with your device will create an iPod photo cache.
Syncing photos can only happen from one computer or user account at a time. Syncing photos with a different computer or user replaces the photos on the device.
You can't reimport pictures synced from your computer to your device back to your computer. You can only import pictures in the Camera Roll or Saved Photos from your device to your computer. If you need to retrieve synced photos from your device:
Email them from the device to yourself.
Copy them from the emails to your computer.
On iPhone and iPod touch using iOS 5 and iOS 6, all synced photos will appear in a unified category called photo library. Photos are not duplicated; this is a way to view all synced albums in one place. You can also tap a specific album beneath photo library to view individual albums.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro D.

How do I recover lost photos in iPhoto?

How do I recover lost photos in iPhoto? Instead of photos I have dotted borders or, in a few cases white boxes.

You could try rebuilding the database ...
Launch iPhoto while holding down the Command + Option keys.
The Photo Library First Aid window should open.
Select: Repair Database
Click: Repair
If that doesn't help, open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch iPhoto.
If that doesn't help, copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch iPhoto.
If you do not currently have a wawy to backup your iPhoto library, you need to do that so that you can recover your photos in the event of a hard drive problem.

How do I recover lost photos?

How do I recover lost photos?
I downloaded photos from a memory stick onto my desktop and then tried to copy and paste them to iPhoto using COMMAND Z but now have lost them.
Can I recover them now?

Well command-z means 'undo the last thing you did'... so I'd copy them from the memory stick again.
File -> Add to Library will get them into iPhoto.

When I used time machine to recover lost photos, iPhoto lost my recent photos.

Yesterday, I noticed that iPhoto was missing all the photos from one event that was actually a number of events that I had merged together fairly recently. I used time machine from an external drive to recover them, but when I restored the photo library from time machine, instead of having that photo library in addition to the one I had before, the archived version replaced the current photos, so that any photos more recent than the event I was trying to recover have gone missing. I tried to use time machine again to recover the photos that I lost while recovering other photos, but now it seems that all of the photo libraries that would be recent enough to have the photos I'm looking for now match the version of the photo library with the most recent events deleted. When I tried to bring the more recent photos back using time machine, I opened the photo library and iPhoto said it detected inconsistensies in my libraries and that it would merge and correct them, but after it did so, the library was still missing my most recent photos. Is there any way to recover these photos? I uploaded them before I connected to the backup drive, but I think they should be stored in the time machine backups that are directly on my computer, I just can't figure out how to get to them.

1. You need to read up on TM and post detailed TM questions in the TM forum
2. When you restore a file (or folder) you either restore to a new location or overwrite the existing file. You make that choice when you restore
3. Not sure what error message you saw but iPhoto does not have any capability to "merge" photos or libraries
4. I am not even clear on what you have. Your post rambles a lot. Are you running TM with default settings. Is it always running and is the TM backup volume always connected?

Lumia 800 - recover lost photos/videos

yesterday my battery ran out and the phone did not start anymore.
today it started but reset itself to factory.
can i somehow recover my lost photos? they are only on the phone.
thanks

just as fyi,
this is a user-to-user forum, so while there are some nokia moderators, very doubtful that any engineers are on here, at least for the time that i have been a member...which may be the oldest in here.
your best bet may be to go to the windowsphone forums from microsoft, or other 3rd party sites that have hackers.
i am a fan of the linux platform, like you, and while linux is open, this system is locked out and closed.
also, your situation is really odd. i have never had my device just run out of battery and self purge! something else must be in play here, strong magnets, jolts of static....
i have had a couple of different units in my hand before and when in high dry places in the desert (las vegas) and grabbing the metal door handle to open it had strong shocks where it did effect my device....so i know that is possible...but just loosing battery and purge is really odd.
i wish you the best.

Recover lost photos and videos after 7.1.1 upgrade fail

Hi,
I updated my Ipad mini this morning to 7.1.1, and after it failed to update, I tried to install again, after which it went into recovery mode. It looks like the last successful cloud backup was 6 months ago, so I have lost 6 months of photos and videos of my young baby.
Photo stream was turned on, so my question is - can I recover the lost photos/videos from photostream somehow?
Some feedback for Apple: fix your upgrade process, and if there is even an outside possibility that it will remove all my photos and videos as part of the update, make doing a full backup before the update mandatory.
Thanks,
Craig
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

Recovering lost photos from delete icloud backup

Hi is there a way to recover the photos from a deleted icloud backup? I know once on the Internet it is there forever.

Unfortunantly there are no other backups...
I am hesitant to connect the new phone up as I find that whole line of questioning that iTunes does confusing.
I am never sure what it will do to 'sync' the old data with the new phone....
I think I'll just try the free utilities....

HT201269 recover lost photos

recover lost potos

I've had good results with iPhone Data Recovery - able to recover about 94% of files from undamaged disks with trashed files.
It's $49 but much less than you'd pay for a data recovery service...
But maybe this will be a good lesson to you to ALWAYS maintain one or more backup schemes.
Good luck,

HELP! Can I recover lost photos?

I seem to have lost nearly 6 months worth of photos from my Library. My photos are stored on a separate internal drive and are backed up to a removable external drive. I think that I backed up the Library from the external to the internal instead of the other way around. Is there any way to recover the files that were deleted? Is there a "backup' or older "Library" version hidden somewhere on my computer that I could reload from?

A deep slow scan using a data recovery app is your best bet. VirtualLab is great because it will let you perform the scan to determine what it can recover before you buy:
http://www.binarybiz.com/vlab/mac.html
There are other similar apps out there. The very best ones are in the gov sector and can't be used by civilians.
Keep in mind, that with data recovery, your file names may be lost - yet the files may be recoverable. So if your looking for specific file names - you may not see them. This doesn't mean the data can't be recovered. Focus on the file types only.
Also, this stuff takes a very long time. You will probably need to let it scan overnight.
Good Luck.

How can I recover lost photo's?

I got back from a 2 week holiday yesterday. Throughout the trip i was taking photos on a dslr and transferring them to my ipad 2 using apples camera connection kit. In the end there were about 2000+ photos on my ipad. I plugged in my ipad to iTunes to transfer the photos and it appears that iTunes has replaced the photos on my ipad with that in my library (no photos) i quickly unplugged my ipad, checked the photos app and there are none in there, i cant find them on my mac either. I was devastated because i thought i had lost all my holiday photos, but whenever i click on the ipad tab in iTunes it says that 9.5gb of the ipads capacity is being used by photos. So they must still be there, but how do i get them onto my computer/recover them? Please help me, i'm struggling and getting pretty upset at the moment. The applecare line has closed for the day as well.

Photos imported from a digital camera, captured by the iPad 2, or saved from a recieved email or from a website with the iPad are not touched during the iTunes sync process and cannot be imported from the iPad by iTunes. These photos are included with the iPad's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process and are stored completely separate from photos that are transferred from your computer. iTunes handles the transfer of select photos from your computer - selected under the Photos tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes, but iTunes does not handle the import of photos from the iPad's Camera Roll or from the All Imported for photos imported from a digital camera with the camera connection kit.
The files you found in the depths of your Mac are in your iPad's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. The backup is a SQLite database. There are some 3rd party utilities that provide for extracting select data such as photos from the backup.

How do I recover lost photos in my Aperture library?

I recently updated Aperture 3, and today while I was working on some photos, my computer shut off. When I restarted it, it said that there were inconsistancies in my library and asked if I wanted to fix them. I said yes. When I finally got back into Aperture, I had lost several of my photos in my library. Does anyone know how I can recover these???

First, search your Library (use the search field at the top of the Library tab of the Inspector) for "Recover". Are there any items named:
Recovered ...
