What happened to my pictures

I thought I was backing up my pictures and felt very happy when the brand new iphone malfunctioned. ... so I restored from icloud on the new replacment phone and voila .... lost all my picutres ......
WOW!!!

Are the photos on the SD card? If they are, copy them to your laptop (copy the whole SD card, to be safe) and then you need to reformat the card for the new phone. Reformatting will erase everything (which is why I said to copy it all to your computer!). Once it's reformatted, you can then put the contents from the backup copy you made into the newly created folders on the reformatted card.
Each phone creates folders for music, photos, etc and formats things differently, so using the same card in a new phone sometimes takes a bit of juggling to get it all working again.
If the photos are stored in the "cloud" (Google + backup) then it may just take time to sync them all back to your phone.

What happened to my pictures on iphoto?

I have over 7,000 pictures in iphoto and I was putting some pictures into rolls that are of the same picture (as a group) so I could load them onto a dvd. And also renaming the rolls as what it is in that roll. I have been working on this for about three hours now. And didn't stop to take a break. Anyways, a black screen came up as I was in the middle of it and it said I had to restart my computer. Either, hitting restart or holding the button on the computer for a few seconds. Well, I couldn't even move my mouse, so I had to hit the button on the computer. Now, when I went to go see if it did anything to my pictures, the pictures I was just messing with aren't there. They come up as a gray box with a "!" in them. All the other pictures are there besides the one's I just did maybe 10 mins before. What happened to them and can I get them back?
Also, This happened like a couple of months ago. Some of my pictures are messed up. Like if you click on the photo it's a whole different photo compared to the one that shows up in the library section. Any ideas of what that is?
Thanks for the help in advance!

1 - you are posting in the iPhoto '09 forum and talking about rolls that have not existed since iPhoto 6. What version do you have?
2 - for iPhoto '09 depress the options and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild the library from the last automatic database backup

What happens to my pictures on my iPad 2 once I download iPhoto

What will happen to my photos on my I pad2 once I download the new iPhoto that have just introduced for Ipad3 will they be duplicated or can I get rid of the photo
App that's on my I pad than.?
I don't want double of everything

I can't tell you anything about the iPhoto app. I still have the iPad original. My guess would be - no it does not - you probably save the edited photo to the camera roll - but that is just a guess. But I can tell you that you cannot delete the preinstalled Photos App. you can't delete any of the preinstalled apps.
Someone will be along to verify if the iPhoto app actually saves a copy in the app itself.

What happened to my pictures after upgrade?

I did the upgrade, now my picture are out of order and only have the backup photos and some of them are missing. What do I do to get my photos back? Some day I will learn not to do the upgrades always screws something up.

If you have proof of the configuration you ordered and you did not get it, I would call HP and ask them to just send a 320 gig hard drive (lowest cost resolution) or contact your local State Atty General or Better Business Bureau if HP refuses to help. There is not much more to say.

What happens to MobileMe gallery

if i move to the cloud, what happens to my mobileme gallery? is there any alternative to the mobileme gallery? thanks

See: What happens to the pictures that I’ve posted to my MobileMe Gallery?
From here > Frequently asked questions about the MobileMe transition and iCloud

I have dropbox on my PC. I no longer want to use that as my storage and backup. I just paid $20 to buy more storage in I Cloud, yet my phone isn't backing up to it. It just keeps saying backup is incomplete.Can I get rid of Dropbox?What happens to pics

I currently have Dropbox on my Samsung PC to use for picture storage. I no longer want to use Dropbox, and just bought extra storage from I Cloud. When I tried to back up my phone onto the PC, it says the latest backup is incomplete and it won't do anything more to back it up.
1. Can I get rid of Dropbox entirely, and if I do, what happens to the pictures that are in that storage?
2. Why won't the phone back up? It is plugged into my laptop, wifi is on, and the phone is locked?

iCloud is not a file storage system (dropbox is)
I don't understand the rest of the post, if you are backing up to iCloud there would not be a cable, are you backing up to iTunes on your PC possible?

What happens to my MobileMe Gallery when I switch to iCloud?

I have about 20 picture folders in my MobileMe Gallery.
1. What happens to those pictures when I switch to iCloud? Do I need to manually download each folder and then reload them to iCloud?
2. Gallery had a nice option of making some folders public and others private - does anyone know if this option exists in the iCloud photostream?
3. I currently have a PC (ugh! - saving to get a MAC) running Windows XP Pro - am I correct that Photostream will not work with my PC?
Many thanks for any help!!

If you have an iPhone 4 or 4s, an iPad 2 or newer you could download iPhoto for iOS; import your albums onto the devices and use the Journal function to create a journal and post it to iCloud for friends to see. It even allows you to announce to your friends and family the new post. The images look as if they are posted on a bulletin board. After selecting an image, the view can manually view the next image by pressing the next button or view all of them in a slideshow.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, all my pictures are gone from iPhoto. What happened?

This is very upsetting. ALL my pictures are gone from iPhoto. What happened, and how can I get them back?

Look in your user folder/Pictures. Is the Library there?
Try rebuilding the library.

What happens if i delete pictures on iCloud

Hi There,
I used to have round about 400 pictures on my phone, long story with me restoring my MacBook Pro.
I ended up losing the pictures not overal fussed, i now have about 170 on all my devices, yet when i go on my iCloud settings it says 3.1GB is being stored within iCloud, what happens if i turn off / delete that setting from iCloud, will the 170 photo's i have get deleted from the iCloud, i can i backup again so my 170 odd photo's are just on the iCloud?

If you remove photos from the camera roll, they will be removed from your back up.
before removing photos from the camera roll you should copy them to a computer, an online storage service or put them into shared streams in iCloud.

I put all my photos into album .Then proceeded to erace photos from last 18 months.. Went back to albums, and no pictures in most of the albums.. What happened? Don't know what to do. How can I get pictures back in my albums?

I put all my photos int albums. Then went back to same photos in last 18 months and deleted them. When I went back to albums, most of the pictures were gone. What happened? All of my pictures gone? I need help...

Hi saginrsf,
Deleted them from where? The photos in your albums are not the actual photos in your library. So if you deleted the photos from the Photos section of iPhoto, then you have deleted them period. All of the photos in your Albums are just "pointing" to the original photos. Albums are just a way of organizing your photos, but they are not copies of them.
Did you delete them from the Photos in iPhoto?

IPhoto will not open with pictures when I click on the icon. It does show that it is open on top toolbar. What happened to my photos?

Did you run any updaters recently, i.e. like just before this happened? Try this first fix: make a duplicate copy of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file,, Cache.dbt, that is located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences..

3. Backup, Restore in iTunes and setup as new.

What happens if I make a picture album on my ipad or iPhone and then sync with my Mac? Will it add a new album to iPhoto on my Mac? Also, what will happen if I add pictures on my ipad to existing albums that I made in iPhoto on my Mac?

So what I have gleemed from this thread - is that Apple will not help me if an iPad mini is dropped and the screen breaks. I would have lived without the insurance if I could have simply bought a new screen and then had it replaced by Apple.
On something so fragile I would have expected a piece of glass to be a replacement part. But I am glad I made this post because now I no for sure if I break the screen there is no way to have it fixed by Apple and keep it in Warranty.
Yup, kind of like anything else you accidentally break that is more cost effective to replace than to repair. Keep that iPad away from the toddler

Okay...what happened to the full screen contact picture?

Okay...what happened to the full screen contact picture? Is there a way to get it back? I'd like to see the full picture of the person I'm calling-not just an ugly blank screen with little round circles on it!!!!

I wrote my feedback there. Please everyone leave your feedback. The new 7.1 design is very impractical.
Why they crave so much about these ugly circles? There are lots of unused space available on the screen.
Please bring back the big rectangular buttons!!!!!!

What happened to my PSE8 edited pictures

I imported some fresh pictures today and did some tweaking in Photoshop Elements 8 having set that app as my editing program. Now this evening I went back to look at those pictures and all the ones I edited and saved have a large triangle against a black background containing an exclamation mark in them when I double click to see them in enlarged view. I also cannot edit these at all anymore. What happened??? My earlier picture that I edited open just fine...something happened with these however.

iPhoto 11 does not work with external editors like the previous versions did and is a big step backward or a bug.
When you go to edit in an external editor iPhoto immediately creates a duplicate file and that's what gets edited by PSE. When the edit is saved it's saved to the new file and is not associated with the original file like iPhoto edits are.
Now if you try to view the edited file or use it in a slideshow or book you can see the larger version of it. However, if you quit and relaunch iPhoto and try to use that edited photos iPhoto acts as if the modified version is missing (and it is because the original of that duplication is the modified version). If you do a Revert to Original iPhoto will start using the original of that photos which is the modified version. I know it's a bit convoluted and hope you can follow me.
Be sure to report this bug to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html. The more reports from users the better the chance Apple will address it in the next update.
This may be preaching to the choir but here's some info on using PSE from within iPhoto. The directions are for PSE 9 so may be a bit different from PSE 8 but the general info should be good:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's Advanced Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
Click to view full size
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
Click to view full size
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full sizes
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS/PSE without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in iPhoto". That will let you either edit in iPhoto using the Edit button or Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in iPhoto" or in PS/PSE by Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in External Editor" in the Contextual menu.
Click to view full size
This way you get the best of both worlds.
