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

I am having trouble with my photo album not transporting a picture to facebook

I am having trouble posting pictures I have taken on my iPad to Facebook. I use to be able to do it tried several times yesterday and they never posted. I am thinking I have messed up something with my settings but I am unclear how to correct. Help ...

There is also a setting in restrictions - Settings>General>Restrictions>Privacy>Photos and one for Facebook, did you restrict anything in there?

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.
iMac 27", OSX 10.9.3

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.

IPhoto: trouble with sending photos via gmail.

For some reasons, for about one or two months ago start having troubles with sending photos from iPhoto via gmail.
It used to work perfectly, but now refuses to send photos. Pop up message says that there are some trouble with accessing accounts.
Once I restart my computer it works well again.

Hello ilya,
In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
Then click the Show Details button & Check again.

Having trouble with iCloud Photo Stream on a Windows Vista 64 machine.

Having trouble with iCloud Photo Stream on a Windows Vista 64 machine. Can you tell me why Photo Stream will not stay enabled. When I reboot, it will disable not to mention that it will not get any pushed photos. Is there a 64 bit version?

Hello tw_mama,
I was looking into the issue you are experiencing and found an article that may shed some light on the subject. It's called iCloud: Account troubleshooting found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3988
This section in particluar:
I get an "Unsupported Apple ID" error when I try to sign in to iCloud from my iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
Depending on how you created your Apple ID, you may not be able to create an iCloud account with your current Apple ID. If your Apple ID works in the iTunes Store, App Store, Game Center, FaceTime, or with other Apple Services, your Apple ID should work for iCloud. Also, if you created your Apple ID while you applied for a job at jobs.apple.com, your Apple ID should work for iCloud. If you cannot use your Apple ID with any Apple Services, it might not be compatible with iCloud. Contact iCloud Support for assistance.
All the best,
Sterling

Has anyone else had trouble with their photo app? everytime I try to edit a picture my phone restarts.

has anyone else had trouble with their photo app? everytime I try to edit a picture my phone restarts.

You have to go into your Gmail account settings.
Then Security.
Then turn ON 2-Step Verification
Follow the instructions to link a cell phone to your google account. They will text you a secondary code and once you've entered that your 2-step verification will be set up.
Then you should have the option on the bottom of the page to add a device. Call it apple tv and then it will generate a secondary code specifically for your Apple TV.
On the Apple TV itself, ultimately I think you have to enter just the first part of your e-mail address (before the @gmail.com) as your Youtube login username.
Then you should enter your gmail account password.
Apple TV will tell you it is incorrect.
Then, retry and enter the long secondary password that google generated for the apple tv.
That should do it.

Why is iphoto having trouble with rotating photos all of a sudden?

i've been using iphoto for a few years. suddenly it un-rotated all of my auto-rotated photos (which screwed up all of my face tags) and now when i upload new photos, if they auto-rotate during the upload they appear in the preview of a whole event, but if i double-click to see a vertical photo, or try to do a slideshow, i get the triangle with an exclamation point in it, indicating that something's wrong with the file. is anyone else having this trouble? or have any idea what to do?
thanks...

I've never used the Flickr feature so don't know if that as any bearing on the problem. if you're satisfied with the newly "fixed" library you can delete the copy of the original library that you made.
However, since you're having problems with rotated photos you might try this and see if the new library has the rotated photos displayed correctly:
Start over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2. Open the library package like this.
Click to view full size
3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4. Drag the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
Click to view full size
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
If the rotated photos display correctly in this new library then the problem lies with the orther libraries being damages somehow. You may want to stay with the new library even though the projects, i.e. books, etc. and keywords are lost.
If you have a lot of keywords in your current library and want to move them to the new library you can by doing this:
1 - open the old library and select one photo.
2 - type Command+K to brinb up the keyword pane.
3 - click on all of the keywords that are not blue so that all of the keywords are blue.
4 - export that photo to the Desktop via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option. Select Kind=JPEG and check the two check boxes regarding keywords, locations, etc.
5 - open the new library with iPhoto and import the exported photo from the Desktop. That will bring in all of the keywords so that you don't have to recereate them one by one in the new library.

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

Help with creating photo albums

Hi Guys..
I'm pretty new to dreamweaver and am using a trial version at the moment but love it so far...
My problem is that every time i try to create a jpg photo gallary the and select the source and destination file folder,dreamweaver keeps giving me the error message that 'No images files found in image file folder'...
I know that there are plenty of images in the folder and have followed a few youtube instructional videos,but still cant seem to find out what this problem is.
The only element of testing that seemed to work is when i used a folder full of .gif files. the album created then, but used lots of little gif images...
Is there anything i'm missing ?
hope you can help
thanks in advance
Paul
I've attached a file showing the issue ...

Screen Saver with large photo album

I love the new options for using my photo albums as screensavers in Mountain Lion but I've noticed a particularly annoying bug... I have a very large album (2,000+ photos) that I have been adding my favorite memories to for many years which makes a great screensaver/slideshow. After updating to OS 10.8 I've noticed that photos seem to repeat, a LOT. I keep it set to random but with this many photos I should not expect to see the same photo 10 times over 10 minutes... Any thoughts?

I've encountered the same problem on different machines with Mountain Lion installed (iMacs and Mac Pro). To whoever I'm showing off my photos (300+ per event or folder) with the new slideshow themes in the screensaver options, they recognize after two minutes that there are photos repeating all the time.
I've counted and the following pattern turns out: after just 15 randomly picked images it shows the first 5 images of the slideshow again. Then 15 random and then again the same 5 first images and so on.
So, what the people remember after seeing the slideshow is just these five images, because they are displayed over and over again! Thats a really annoying bug.

Trouble with 30Gb Photo

first time posting on here... I looked back through a few page to see if this issue had already been addressed.
A few days ago, my 30Gb iPod Photo started skipping songs on its own. So after resetting it, it lost all it's content. I've read a couple troubleshooting guides about the computer not recognizing the iPod, but still haven't yet found a way to restore my iPod.
When using the updater, I get many different error messages such as "Can't mount iPod" or "iPod service error"
I've tried re installing just about every iPod related software on my computer, as well as trying to Format my iPod (which I can't even do).
I'm hoping I don't have to send this out for service, as my warranty expired 6 days ago...
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks,
Alex

The Sad iPods icon or folder with an exclamation mark are the toughest problems to deal with, and must do a Restore in order to fix it. However, when your iPod is showing this icon, it is probably too late for your computer to recognize the iPod.
1. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
2. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
Still can't see your iPod?
Several things could keep iPod from appearing in iTunes or in the Desktop/Finder when you connect it to your PC/Mac. The most likely causes are listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping iPod from appearing.
3. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
4. Try another known-good FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
5. Try another known-good FireWire or USB port on your computer .
6. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
7. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. We've found that in many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
8. Try to do an Erase (Disk Utility) on a Mac computer or a format with a PC (Disk Management tool) but ensure you choose the right Drive (your iPod not your Hard Disk of your computer). You may need to plug and unplug your iPod with the computer for several attempts, and switching around Format and Restore, and hope out of sudden, it will get recognized.
9. Diagnostic mode solution – which I copied from a thread of a post from thinktwice
“Then I cam across this special Diganostics Mode that you can get to by resetting and then while the Apple is showing pressing the Select and backwards keys simultaneously. It bring up and weird Diagnostic utility witha a abunch of tests. Here is what I did
- I tried the 5in1 test and got and error on Firewire.
- I did the HDD R/W and surprisingly it passed.
- I went on to the HDD scan. This supposedly tkaes acouple of minute so I waited. I think 4-5 dots appeared then nothing. The iPod started to get hot. THe disk was spinning away. After a while the battery got very low. THis test chews up the battery. So I escaped out by resetting and went to connect it to a power source.
My USB was dangling out of my computer and I was too lazy to get the Firewire AC adapter thing going so I connected expecting the whole lockup thing with iTunes. Surprise. IT was recognized immediately and has been working like a champ. So go figure.
Details on Diag mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/index.shtml
10.Let me ask you a question, if an iPod with no iPod software with it. When your connect it with a computer, what would happen?
Yeah, the computer will treat it as a fresh external hard disk, which will get force mounted, the computer will ask you to format the iPod. It does not really matter the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted iPod software on the iPod, after that the computer will recognize it.
Once it has been completed, eject your iPod, open the iPod updater and interestingly, you will able to do the Restore this time.
Base on the above, that's why I suggest Windows users who experience trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac machine or vice versa. PC computer will not recognize a Mac formatted iPod, but it will get mounted in an attempt to format your iPod.
But, if none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired. You can arrange for service at the iPod Service Website.
I have just read an interesting solution about the Sad iPod, it does make sense but the warranty will be waived once you open the iPod, I would not do it myself as I am not good on doing this

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.
