What is the recovered photo

I have 134 photos in "recovered photo". I don't know what they are. They are photos that normally appeared in the library and in albums.
How were they created? What do I do to get them where they belong?
Thanks for any help.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
Start iPhoto. Does that help?

  • What is the "recovered photos" file for?

    I was just going through my "pictures" file, and came across a file called "recovered photo's" that's roughly 5GB in size.....spot checking it showed that identical photo's were in iphoto...but naturally i didn't check every one. Does anyone know what this folder is for?? Is it safe to delete?
    Thanks!

    John:
    By "pictures" file what do you mean? Are you referring to the Pictures folder or your iPhoto library? Same question for the "recovered photo's". Is that a folder you're referring to and where exactly is it located?
    Often those are photos that were deleted or though to be delete and were placed in the recovered folder/roll in a rebuild or update because iPhoto had lost it's link to the roll it belonged in. You should not delete it from the Finder but you can from iPhoto. If they are in the library they will be in a roll titled the same as the folder in the iPhoto Library folder.

       I am an amatuer family photographer; What is the best photo editing software. I do not think I need the power and confusion of full version photoshop.

    I take it you are looking for replacements for the apps you used on a previous Mac?
    I do not have Photoshop Elements, so I do not know about compatibility. But this site will tell you:
    http://roaringapps.com
    Photoshop CS3 does run in OS 10.9.1. (I use it just about everyday.) You do not have to give it up.
    And there is Gimp, which is free and powerful.

  • TIP: What to do if the Recovered Photos File will not import into iPhoto...

    Like many others in this forum, I just upgraded to iWork/iLife '06. When I installed iPhoto '06 it trashed my existing iPhoto Folder and placed all of my other existing photos (those not already imported previously into iPhoto) into a recovered photos file. I tried and tried and tried to import those "recovered photos" into iPhoto but it kept returning an error message on import "Unreadable file"
    Finally I selected the "recovered files" then clicked on "Get Info" and found that the permissions were "locked" with a padlock icon. Clicking once on the padlock opened the permissions back to me the "owner" and the iPhoto allowed me to import all of those 425 "recovered photos". Whew! I hope this tip helps someone else out - I had to figure this out on my own...

    The fact that you can use the Raws from your XSi is of no relevance.
    The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
    Changing the Raw specification is one of the ways of upgrading the cameras.
    IPhoto and Aperture support -  or don't -  the same cameras.

  • What is the best photo editing software to replace aperture

    Because Apple has decided to no longer develop Aperture, what are the best valued, most capable programs to replace Aperture?

    Regarding the "ship shape" comment: you might want to look at some other products just to see how they would handle importing images. There is a lot of chatter on that subject for obvious reasons. What you don't want is all your info being stuck in a format that is difficult to retrieve.
    First, consider referenced photos instead of the library. The managed library of Aperture/iPhoto is pretty unique to Apple. Sure, things like Lightroom's Aperture importer will copy those photos out for you, but it's a work around. If you have a photo structure in the Finder, it's always available no matter what you use, DAM or browser or just Spotlight.
    Second, consider preserving your photo adjustments. Think of them as printed pictures. The adjustments (except really simple stuff like maybe crops, etc) do not carry over to other image managing  programs per se; the way to preserve those adjustments is to export the photo as adjusted, say in a TIFF. That's what you may have noticed that plugins like Nik do: they don't pass adjustment INFO to Aperture, they pass an exported photo. Consider a workflow that does the same. Even if the new Apple products or whatever comes next is what you wanna use, it may be useful to have these. Some of the cool adjustments demo'd in Photos might translate exactly from your Aperture info, but maybe not. You might have to start anew, and having at least an exemplar might be nice.
    Third, make your photos application independent by writing in metadata. The cool thing about image files is that even your garage door opener can probably open them. They are really universal. AND so is the exif/IPTC/XMP metadata within those files or sidecars. So write it in there. You can replicate a whole Project/folder/album or collection set/collection just using heirarchical keywords. And another cool thing is that this info is available in the Finder, in other operating systems, and with searches via Spotlight. It's tremendously powerful and many Aperture and Lightroom users, who often are solo users, don't make enough use of it. Those who worked with other people/departments etc probably use this more often; Photo Mechanic is the epitome of this. Metadata in photos is far more powerful than even tags in the operating system; it's like a DAM grafted into your files.

  • When syncing with iTunes what does the "importing photo" step do?  I don't see my photos imported?

    When I sync my iphone 4s I see "importing photos" as one of the steps it is going through in syncing.  However, I don't see the iphone photos in iphoto or elsewhere.  I turned off the photo stream feature for various reasons.  Is that why I see no import?  Is there some other setting I need to check?
    Thanks.

    No one?   I still havent figured this out. 

  • What is the best Photo editing software with good organiser for a mac?

    I have been using PSE9 on our PC and have just switched to using a mac so loaded PSE9 on that and have been discovering quite a few differences, limitations or basic functions just not there.
    At the moment I'm very dissapointed because I had no idea that would be the case, I guess I just assumed it would be better than a pc. I'm obviously going to need to buy more editing software but don't want something for the same price but get less just because it's on a mac.
    I do quite a bit of tweaking with PSE9, layers, actions (downloaded of the net), general tweaking, some fun funky stuff.
    Need a better organiser than iphoto.
    I would like to be able to batch process too which I can't currently do.
    I can get the educational packages.
    What would suit those needs best?

    Yes that is what I'm saying.
    Maybe I'm doing it wrong but I was on the phone to Apple for over an hour the other day and even the man on the phone was apologetic and said that no, it doesn't sort accoring to date taken.
    My screen looks quite different to yours. I choose Finder/Pictures and then select the folders or sort. When I select the date created I get photo all out of order that I know I didn't take on those dates. It also shows me the files horizontally stacked to the right rather than a page view.
    I've included a screen shot.
    Under the previous 7 days you will see a shot in black and white
    You will also see it in colour under previous 30 days yet they were taken on the same day. I only have a few photos in the folders for the purpose of playing around with trying to work this all out but when I had hundreds of photos in there many were out of sync and I couldn't find them.
    I am used to seeing
    3/4/2012 (then all those photos)
    9/10/2012 (photos)
    4/12/2009 (photos)
    etc.... all ordered all logical. If this can be done and I'm doing something wrong - I'll be so happy!
    I really don't like how they all get stacked at one end. If I open a folder then they show me them unstacked which I prefer.

    Do any apps have the spot adjustments like Snapseed?

  • What is the Maximum Photos For Lightroom SlideShow pdf file??

    Lightroom2.3 freezes at the end of attempting to make a pdf file at screen resolution and best quality when i use more than 500 photos. Would like to make one file with 13,000 pix, but am willing to compromise :D

    Seems to me that that would be a rather difficult size of slideshow to manage and navigate effectively. But if it is something you really want to have, you could try creating several smaller slideshows, and then if you have Adobe Acrobat you could combine those PDF files to create your one large one.

  • How do i stop photoshop from opening all the recovered photos

    i realize that i probably caused this problem but i need to fix it.... dozens and dozens of photos open and it takes forever. closing them doesn't work, they just come back the next time i open cs6.

    Beyond manually finding the files for removal, consider this:
    Photoshop is supposed to remove those backup files itself after you've successfully closed them. 
    That it's not doing so implies possibly a permissions problem, where deletions of files from within your scratch PSAutoRecover area by you are not allowed.  You'll want to look at the permissions of those folders/files and change them so that you do have access.  I'm sorry to say I do not know the specific commands, as I am not a Mac user.

  • What is the 1000+ photos preset in lightroom?

    I was looking through the import presets and noticed one listed as 1000+ photos.. Doing a quick, though not extensive search turned up nothing. Anyone have any ides about this. I'm just starting to play with import and develop presets so this isn't one of mine.
    Thanks

    It showed up as a develop preset when I was going bback over some older images. When I went back later it was gone. Unless it shows up again I'll treat it as a LR internal temp process that I happened to catch during my messing around.
    It was just odd seeing it
