Where did my albums go (PSE9)?

I spent hours gathering photos from my external hard drive to upload to PSE9. I had the photos organized into multiple albums under album categories. I shut down and restarted the computer and now my album categories are still there, but the albums are missing. The photos are still in my organizer with tags attached, but they are not listed on the right side of the screen any longer. What happened? How can I get them to appear there again?
Please help me... I'm very frustrated.
Thank you,
Kelly

It seems that all the categories/albums are in collapsed state. You can go to album panel and then choose the option of expand all categories. The albums should appear under the album categories.

I previously had Albums in iCloud via iPhoto, now only my photostream shows up, where did my albums go??

Within the last few months I when I would click on iCloud in iPhoto the first screen would show folders for the photostream and then all my albums I had stored there including a folder full of videos of my children, now when I click on iCloud all that shows up is the photostream, where did my albums go??

You may have to open Mail, go to the upper left corner of the screen and click on the word Mail, open Preferences, click on Accounts, and make sure your Gmail account is still fully set up properly with all proper account and incoming and outgoing Mail Servers properly completed. When you added iCloud capability it may have upset the account settings for Gmail.
Hope this helps

Where did this album artwork come from???????

Recently I sync'd my iPod (5G) and iTunes added an album cover to all my songs in the Rock genre. All my albums in the rock genre now have the same artwork on my iPod. However on my iTunes, the album artwork is correct for each bands individual album and there is only one album cover in each songs information file. How did this happen? This is the first time this has ever happened. There are even a couple of random albums I bought on iTunes where the album cover art was placed on some bands album art which have not been changed in a year, but on iTunes the correct album cover is the one shown on my computer screen. Am I making any sense? Can you guys help me??

Where did the album art display go?

In iTunes 10.6 for Windows, the album art display in the Library column is gone. I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to put it back. For clarity's sake, I'm talking about the thumbnail at the bottom left corner, right under Playlists – the one that shows 'now-playing' album art or videos. What (hopefully simple) procedure am I missing, or otherwise doing wrong?
Thanks!

Where did my album cover go???

I purchased Kedrick Lamar's album To Pimp a Butterfly. When I first bought it, I could see the album cover. Three days later, the album cover is gone. I don't know what happened! This has never happened before. Please help!

Hello MW1192,
If you don't see your album artwork, you can get iTunes to download the artwork again by right clicking on the album and select Get Album Artwork. For more information take a look at the article below.

Where did my album artworks go?

I added a new album to my iPad using my MacBook and after updating the files on the iPad, half of the albums artworks were gone in my music library in my iPad. Why and how can I get them back?

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!

I uploaded a lot of important pictures to iPhoto, and then deleted them off my memory card. I tried looking at the pictures and they are no wheere to be found, the album in which they were is empty, and I looked everywhere for them. Where did they go? What should I do?

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.

HT201317 I can't find My Photo Stream album after getting the iOS 8 upgrade. Where did all my pictures go??

I can't find My Photo Stream album after getting the iOS 8 upgrade. Where did all my pictures go??

That album, My Photo Stream, is no longer used.
Instead, look in "Recently Added" within Albums, and also within Photos in the various timescale views. Both places should contain photos taken by any of your devices.

Where did my iTunes go?

Where did my iTunes go? I upgraded my iphone4 and it removed my iTunes and other apps too. What happend and how can I get iTunes back on my iphone4..? Also a photo album from my iPhoto on my computer sync with my iPhone and I cant figure out how to delete that album.

Go to Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure iTunes is set to On. If it is then look through all your screens and inside all your folders because it can't be deleted.
You delete albums synced to your phone by unchecking them on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing your phone.

My iPhone 5 was restored from backup, and while it was restoring everything else all my pictures slowly went from 900 to none. where did they go and how do I get them back?

My iPhone has been acting very strange lately and the only way to get it to turn on and function is to restore it. I restored it from a backup of my phone before I restored it. I was mostly worried about my pictures. I was relieved to see them all there,
until the number of photos in my camera roll and other albums began to go down. soon enough, all the pictures I had restored were deleted. where did they go and how can I get them back?

Hi bluegrandpanash,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you backed up your iPhone to iCloud before updating the software, first try the steps under "Restore from an iCloud backup" in this article to recover your data:

Please help!! I got my iPhone 4s screen fixed, now in my Photos it shows nothing, although in my memory usage it shows 10.5gb of photos, thats 2000 photos not showing up. What happened?! Where did all my photos go?!

I got my iPhone 4s screen fixed, now in my Photos it shows nothing, although in my memory usage it shows 10.5gb of photos, thats 2000 photos not showing up. What happened?! Where did all my photos go?!

WOOHOO!!! i finaly fixed the problem. Here is what to do:
Chances are if you did the same thing as me you either have
A) No album names at all for ALL your songs in your library
or
B) Have the same name for every album for ALL your songs in your library.
Here is how to fix it (yah it will take a little work but its worth getting your iPod functioning properly).
Unless you dont want to have to go and actualy set al lthe album names for every song here is what you can do:
Go through to iTunes and arange your songs by Artist name. Click the top song for your first artist, hold Shift and click the last song for that same artist (to multi select all the songs for the artist) go into get info and check the Album box. Copy the name of the artist to the Album box and hit ok.
Now when u update your ipod and go into ur Artists section the actual Artist name should show up instead of the song names.
For some reason having the same album name for all your songs messes up the organization of the iPod.
Hope this helps anyone else that is having the same problem

IPhoto 6 "found" old photos - where did they come from?

When I opened iPhoto 6 for the first time, it updated my iPhoto library just fine. In the process a dialog opened saying it found 134 photos from somewhere, and asked if I wanted to import them. When I said YES, it created a new album and imported those 134 photos into it.
The photos ended up being old photos (2-4 years old) that I thought I had deleted a long time ago, many of my ex-wife during holidays and a vacation 3 years ago! Where did they come from? Needless to say, my new fiancee wondered why I had old photos of the ex! I thiought they were gone.
I used Spotlight to search for "IMG_0...) and found many old photos I had deleted! I do not have an old iPhoto libraray on my PowerBook G4, but the photos were still there in folders, deep inside iPhotos filing system. I deleted all the ones I needed to, all by hand within the Finder.
What happened?

I had well over 2,000 photos recovered... Also ranging from 5 years old to this past month.
There was no clear answer but the photos were recovered in large chunks (300 from December, 400 from March, 600 from January, etc...)..
The entire time I has iPhoto 5, it never worked properly (always crashed) so a lot of these photos clearly were photos not properly saved in iPhoto 5.
However, I don't see them in my main library. How do I move them from recovered to the Library?

With update of iOS 8 lost pictures and numbers...where did they go?

With update of iOS 8 lost pictures and numbers...where did they go?

If the pictures are still on your phone, they may be in a different location as the camera roll and photo stream albums were removed in iOS 8. This explains the new photos locations: Get help finding your Photos in iOS 8.
Don't know about your numbers. If you mean your contacts, if they were syncing with iCloud check iCloud.com to see if they are sill there.

Where did my photos go ios 8

i installed the update ios8 on my 5c where did the rest of my photos go?

With iOS 8 there is no Camera Roll or My Photo Stream any more. The MPS has been replaced with the Recent Activity album.
The CR is replaced by the Collections mode. The closest we can get to the Camera Roll is to turn off the Summarize Photos feature in the Settings/Photos & Camera pane and view the photos in the Collections/Moments window.

Where did my iPhoto folders go?

I upgraded to 10.10.3 and it transferred my iPhoto library to photos automatically without asking me if I wanted to. I had folders in iPhoto but I do not see them in the Photos app. Where did my folders go?!

Moments in Photo are the new Events, i.e. groupings of photos sorted by date taken.
When the iPhoto Library was first migrated to Photos there was a folder created in the sidebar titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events (which are now Moments) are represented by an album in that folder. Your albums from iPhoto will be there also. To open the sidebar if it's not already open use the Option+Command+S key combination.
There's a way to simulate events in Photos.
When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N. Name it as desired. It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the iPhoto Events folder
When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window.
The downside to the simulation is that the Album/Events can only be sorted automatically by Title. But they can also be sorted manually, either in the sidebar or in the folder's window at the right.
Ask Apple for more sorting options in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html.
