Upgraded iPhoto and lost all my pictures; how do I recover them?

I updated to the new Iphoto on August 12 and not I can't find any of the pictures I had.  I can't find them anywhere on my hard drive.  Does updating delete all your pictures?

No, updating does not.  Within your pictures folder in your user folder, is there an iPhoto Library file?  If so, is it large?  If it is, your pictures are still there.  Try starting iPhoto while holding option and command, this will rebuild your library.  If they are not in there, go to a recent backup or TimeMachine and restore the pictures to the folder.

    i lost all my contact. how do i recover them

    Do you back up your iPhone to iTunes or iCloud? How often do you sync your iPhone to your computer? Your contacts could be on your Mac or PC.

  • Upgraded software and lost Ical data.  How do I recover it?  It does not appear in the ical of the computer either.

    I upgrade to 5.0 and the calendar items disappeared.  How do I recover them?  Help!

    Sorry, but audiobooks cannot be downloaded more than once without charge, so if you don't have a viable backup, you may be out of luck. You can, however, contact the iTunes Store, explain the situation, and see if they can make an exception for you.

  • HT203167 My computer crashed and I lost all downloads.  How do I recover them?

    My computer ceased functioning.  When I had it repaired and reinstalled iTunes, most of my music was gone as well as the movie Forks Over Knives that I just purchased.  How do I recover them?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

  • I upgraded to Maverick - and lost all my apps - how do i retrieve them?

    I upgraded from iOS to Maverick - and now i lost all my original iMac apps - like iPhoto and iMovie --- Please help me retrieve them.

    Do you have (or did you have) PPC apps.   If so none of those would have survived the transition to Mavericks.   You can check the apps you had here, though it looks like you may be too late.

  • HT204053 My husband went to upHdate his phone this morning and when he did he lost all his contacts how can he get them back

    My husband went to update his phone this morning and when he did he lost all his contacts how can he get them back

    Thanks, but I checked iCloud and it has none of them.
    If it backed up to my laptop, that died and I just got the new computer. The one that's crashed won't even boot, so there's no way to even tell if it was syncing the contacts along with all the phone photos. Literally happened at the same time - it was because I had the new computer that I was finally able to pull the photos off the phone and make room for the upgrade. It had refused to upgrade for lack of space for some time.
    I had thought it was set to sync to iCloud but it vanished from BOTH my phone and the cloud. That's why I'm so angry about it.

  • Updated my iphone 4 to iOS 5.0.1 and then lost all my apps. how can I restore them?

    updated my iphone 4 to iOS 5.0.1 and then lost all my apps. how can I restore them?

    As long as the apps are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 . If you download them to your computer's iTunes you could then try restoring to your backup and see if that restores them and their settings/content back to your iPhone - a backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content/settings, so for the restore to work fully iTunes needs access to the apps so that it can restore them.

  • I updated my ipod touch 4th gen to ios 5 and lost all my photos. how can i get it back? i'm using windows 7.

    I updated my ipod touch 4th gen to ios 5 and lost all my photos. how can i get it back? i'm using windows 7. help please? thanks!

    This was the scenario:
    The first time I updated, it was only my music that was lost.
    When I got my music back, I lost my apps.
    When I got my apps back, my contacts, notes and photos were lost.
    Now I got back everything except for my photos.
    (Yes, I restored from backup several times since the first update.)
    Do you think if I try restoring from back up, my photos that were taken from my ipod will be restored finally?
    Thank you.

  • I just updated to the 6 software and i lost all my contacts. how do i get them back?

    i just updated to the iOS 6 software and i lost all my contacts. how do i get them back?

    You calendar info should also be mirrored on your computer. Use the option to replace all events on the iPod with the info on your computer during the next sync. You can find this option in the info pane, Advanced section.
    You can also use the latest backup to restore from, it contains the calendar info as well: iTunes: About iOS backups

  • HT201272 I did the last update, there was a 'catastrophic failure' i had to restore my iPhone and now have lost all my apps, how do i get them back?

    Hi All,
    I did the last update, there was a 'catastrophic failure' i had to restore my iPhone and now have lost all my apps, how do i get them back? Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Clare

    All of  your apps should be in iTunes on the computer, simply sync them back.
    If they are not, go into the purchase history and download them again.
