Restored a whole lot of deleted pictures i deleted accidently.

Restored a whole lot of deleted pictures i deleted accidently, now the files are corrupt, but i can see them, "blurry" in the camera roll. Anyone with any clues on how to fix this?
I put the pictures i deleted over to a new album, which was 4 days of fun, and after i transferred them over, i chose to delete the pictures in the camera roll, which was not good. The Iphone deleted both the ones in the camera roll, and the other album. When i figured the other photos were gone too, i tried to react quickly and do a "hard" reboot on my iphone, so that my phone wouldnt "register" the delete..
The thing is that this is quite complicated, and i think i messed up real hard. Right after the reboot the pictures were there, almost, they were just files. It was 150 pictures with just the "jpeg-file" name on them..My vids shows me a message that sais something about missing URL?
And ofcourse i have done a restore in Itunes. The restore was on the other hand from the files that was allready corrupted.
Its complicated, i know...Allthough, if anyone can give me a hand here, its greatly appreciated!

Well, after reading through your post a couple of times because I wasn't quite sure what you did, I feel I might understand right now.
You had a number of pictures in the camera roll and you moved them to a new album. You then deleted photos from the Camera roll and now you want to try and recover them? Is that what you are asking?
If so, there isn't anything you can do. Adding pictures from the Camera roll to an album does not actually MOVE the pictures, it just allows you to cataloge them. If you add pictures to a new album you create on the iPhone and then try to delete them from the iPhone, you get a warning that the pictures are in another album and deleting them from camera roll will cause them to be deleted everywhere. I just tried this to make sure. Actually, the warning box doesn't just say delete, it says delete everywhere. Deleting pictures from the camera roll before importing them to the computer will result in the photos being lost. Your attempt to reboot the phone is what corrupted the files. Unless you did a backup of the phone with the camera roll intact and have not backed it up since then, you would be able to restore to that backup. Problem is, it reads as if you have already done a backup/sync, which would result in the last backup being overwritten by the latest one. In my opinion, unless something I wrote earlier has happened, then you have lost the photos.

Unless you have the app and its contents backed up, they are gone.

From some reason (i'm not sure why..) my whole iphoto library got deleted. I restored the whole library from my backup. The photos are blank but steel have the photo info. (date, res., size etc.) Do you know what's the prob.? why can't i see my pics.

It's says that file does not exist. How come? And why does it still show the image info.?
Where can i find those files (i have a daily backup)
The original image files are missing form your iPhoto library or iPhoto cannot find them, because the link to the originals has been broken. The image info is stored in the internal libraries, independent of the original files. That is, why you are still seeing them.
I restored the whole library from my backup.
Try restoring from an older backup, from before you first noticed the problem.
How large is the library, that you restored? Is the file size large enough to hold all your photos, or has the size been reduced? If the library is still large, the photos may still be inside, even if iPhoto cannot find them.
It's says that file does not exist. How come?
What happened, before your iPhoto library got deleted? Which applications have you been running, or which new software have installed or upgraded? Have you moved the library to a different disk or tried to use it from different user account or access it over the network?

I uploaded a lot of important pictures to iPhoto, after downloading them I deleted them off my memory card. Now, iPhoto will not let me look at the pictures and the album in which I put them is empty. Where did they go? What should I do? Help please!

Check to make sure the iPhoto Advanced preferences are set to copy photos into the library when importing, i.e. a "managed" library:
If it is and you don't see any thumbnail in the Event they should be in apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with
Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If you are unable to get iPhoto to recover the photos MediaRECOVER can be used on the memory card to recover the photos as long a they haven't been overwritten. It will run in demo mode so you can see if it will recover the photo before you have to purchase it.

A lot of my pictures are in I Photo and also in Finder. Can I delete them from finder? They are taking up a lot of room.

A lot of my pictures are in I Photo and also in Finder. Can I delete them from finder? They are taking up a lot of room.

Just make certain that the "Originals" or "Masters" are in your iPhoto Library before you trash the images.
You can find out by selecting the iPhoto Library file with the control key held down, then open the Library (which is, actually, a folder). You'll see a folder named "Originals" or "Masters" and you can check there to make certain that you have all of the high-res images in your iPhoto Library. If you do, you can safely trash the original files, although I would, if it were me, make an archive of the images before trashing (either on an external HD or on archival DVDs).
Make sense?

TS4036 my icloud is not restoring my whole pictures

my icloud is not restoring my whole pictures as only few are restored but rest is in icloud as my icloud is full upto 5 gb but restored files are only of 2 GB !!

This worked for many of us but not all. I uninstalled icloud, restarted my pc and reinstalled icloud from the apple site. Make sure you check and apply photostream from the icloud panel.

I just got the iPhone 5 and took it on a trip and took a bunch of photos on it. I just came home and hooked it up to my Mac for the first time and hit restore. All of my trip pictures disappeared. Is there any way I can retrieve them?

Did you by chance have photo stream turned on? If so then they might be there. When you restored your phone it deleted everything and they will be unretreivable from your computer.

Why has my iCal got a whole lot of religious festivals in it - and all of them in German?

I want to use iCal as my diary, on iCloud. That seems to work. But today I found that I had a whole lot of religious festivals marked in it (and at least duplicated), all in German. I don't want this stuff clogging up my diary, but equally I don't want to have to delete every entry individually (it seems that I can't delete them en bloc). Can anyone tell me what I can do to get rid of all this stuff painlessly? Thanks.

Actually, you can email up to 5 at a time from the Photos app. Select any more and the email share option will not appear.
If you explain why you need to email large numbers of photos, we might be able to offer an alternative.

My aperture library will not open after restoring my whole computer after a kernal panic. I can not get the Aperture troubleshooting menu to open...any help?

My aperture library will not open after restoring my whole computer after a kernal panic. I can not get the Aperture troubleshooting menu to open...any help?

Leonie,
Fisrt let me thank you for your reply and assistance! So here is the problem with so more detail...I was not sure I was going to get any replies ; )
I restored from a time machine back up.
History of Failure:
I was trying to launch Aperture when the kernal panic occured. My computer had been closed, and asleep and the battery was dead. I plugged in charger and it was restoring/waking up after being asleep/shutting down from dead battery. I launched Aperture from the dock and as soon as it opened the kernal panic occured. After that the computer would not turn on. It would try to boot then it would shut off. I even tried to safe boot to no avail. I went to the Apple store and they told me that the only thing I could do was restore whole computer from back up. So thats what I did.
Since then my previous aperture library: "2011" will not open. I have created a new aperture library "2012", and it runs fine. I have added new photos for about the past month...no problems.
When I launch aperture with 2012 library then try to switch libraries, I get the following prompt: "The selected library is from an older version of Aperture and requires a relaunch to switch." I choose "Relaunch" and I get the following warning prompt: "There was an error opening the database for the library “~/Pictures/Aperture Library 20111.aplibrary”." The only option is "Quit"
Both libraries are version 3.2.3
Computer stats: 3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo, 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 RAM, OS X 10.6.8
I have tried to launch aperture troubleshooting by holding option+command from both the aperture icon and from the library file, neither will launch the troubleshooting feature.
I am ok with computers, but not a whiz (mechanical engineer)...to me it seems as though there is a corrupt path or file or some sort of "check" that is failing, becuase the failure occurs so fast after trying to launch aperture. Maybe that doesn't make any sense but just a thought.
I hope that you may be able to provide some insight. Thank you again for you time and I hope that you have a nice day!

Can Time Machine Restore the whole operating system ?

Hi there,
I understand Time Machine can be used to locate files which were accidentally deleted.
But can it restore the whole OS system together with all the settings to say a 2 weeks ago ?
If can, I desperately beg someone to be kind enough to guide & teach me how to do it step by step.
Many thanks

Question 1:
I am doing a full restore on the same Mac. For avoidance of doubt, can you kindly confirm that the first paragraph of item#14 does not apply to me ?
Yup. This works fine if it's the same Mac. That's what it's intended for.
Question 2:
I have a Lacie Firewire800 external HDD connected to my Mac, I have already updated & backup data on this Lacie FW800 HDD to yesterday.
As I intend to restore the entire system to 2 weeks ago, I am afraid that my Lacie would also be restored to 2 weeks ago, would it ?
When you say "entire system", it refers only to the Mac internal harddrive or everything connected to it ?
Ah, yes, that's a bit misleading. That procedure will restore your internal HD only. By "entire system," it really means everything on your internal HD (which is all most users have): OSX, apps, configuration, users, settings, preferences, data.
If you want to restore an external HD, you must do that separately, so your LaCie won't be touched. Just to be extra-safe, I'd eject and disconnect it if I were you.

TM failed miserably in Restore of whole system

Last night, I had a kernel panic which rendered my System disk virtually useless. Finder hung when trying to get Info on a file. Disk Utility hung when trying to Repair Permissions, etc.
So....since I have TM running, I chose to re-format my disk, then use the Restore utility on the Leopard disk. Silly me. TM reported it was restoring the whole disk, indicating the restore was of pretty much the right size, and would take approximately 3 hours. However, after about 1 hour, it reported it was done, and re-booting from the restored disk.
Long story short - it had only restored about 1/3 of the disk. When I tried to restore some key folders that were missing, it failed, saying I didn't have privileges.
I guessed that perhaps the privileges had been gunched before the time of the TM back I'd chosen to restore. So..... I used Disk Utility to Repair Privileges, then went to an earlier TM backup time, and chose restore. This time, it asked for a folder for the restore files - pointing to a completely irrelevant folder. I navigated to the volume name of the disk I was restoring to , and proceeded.
TM then created a FOLDER, naming it the same as the Volume.
Finally TM failed, with the error "The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "060416_0094.NEF" (an image file) could not be read or written. (Error code -36)?
Jeesh - what kind of crappy backup program is this? It doesn't come through when it's needed, it's UI doesn't provide useful information, and apparently the data it saved was corrupt.
Am I overlooking something - does anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks,
Bruce

Hi elrik, welcome to the forums,
your safest bet is probably to order a set of recovery discs from Lenovo. Once you have the system installed you can always delete the service partition, if you want to gain the space, because you have a set of discs. Using Windows Easy Transfer is a good method for transferring files and settings.
You can order discs, (only for WE countries listed on the site), through the following link;

How do I get back my photo stream pictures which I accidently deleted

how do I get back my photo stream pictures which I accidently deleted? I cant remember whether I have back up or not.

If they aren't in Photos>Photo Stream, then they are deleted and cannot be recovered. Try restoring from a recent backup that has those photos.

How do I select and email a whole lot of photos on my iPad from my iPad emails? It seems I have to go into Email and then insert one photo at a time? Isn't there a way to select all in the photos and then email the batch.?

Can not find file must locate each song one at a time need to restore my whole library

can not find file, must locate each song one at a time need to restore my whole library

Hello BadSteve,
It sounds like iTunes seems to have lost track of all your music and you must locate each file individually. I would recommend at this point that you check for 3rd party plugins to see if there are any causing an issue:
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3430
If the issue persists after removing the plugins, I would next try recreating your iTunes library:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
