where did my photos go? I started to move a 25GB directory of all my photos to the creative cloud and now they are gone! The directory on my hard drive i gone and they are not in the cloud?

The iCloud Photo Stream only stores up to 1000 photos for thirty days.  If you have more that 1000 photos or photos nearing the 30-day mark, you should export them to another device.

  • HT203167 The My locked Folder app is missing! I had all of my important files in here and now they are gone where did the app go?

    I had all of my important file in my locked folder and now the app is missing and it is no longer available on the App Store.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • HT6541 How do I get my pictures back from the update? They were photos synced from my previous phone and now they are gone. Please help!

    i Just got an iPhone and I did not have icloud or iTunes yet. My photos from my previous phone were synced to my new phone and after the update they all disappeared. Please help me recover my pictures

    If all you did was sync your phone, and if you haven't synced again since this happened, you can restore your phone from the backup that was created at the beginning of the sync process (camera roll photos are included in the backup).  If you have synced again since this happened this backup has already been overwritten and your photos are lost.  Also, if you restored your phone from the backup of your iPod, rather than just synced, then your  photos are lost too.
    If you have an intact backup that contains these photos, do the following:
    Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences.  On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
    Connect your phone to your computer, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose your most recent backup to restore from.
    When complete, you can go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.

    Have you upgraded to iPhoto 9.6 for compatibility with Yosemite? If not, try that first.
    It looks like iPhoto has lost the connection between the thumbnails and the original image files.
    This can be caused by a corrupted iPhoto library, or the originals have been deleted or moved.
    Try first to rebuild your iPhoto Library:
    If you do not have a current backup of the iPhoto library, make a copy of the library, but do not overwrite any previous backup.
    Launch iPhoto with the ⌥⌘-key combination (option-command) held down.
    Select "rebuild" from the first aid panel.  This may take a while for a large library.
    Can you now see your photos again?
    If not, rebuild the library with iPhoto Library manager as described by Old Toad:            Re: iphoto crashed

         Hi Frank.
         I have just had jb Atlanta's problem while adjusting the contrast on a photo. I was creating a slideshow at the time. After a lot of reading up I was about to give up when I tried restoring the file to its original settings as you suggested. Bingo!
         However, that would only work for me, if I restored the settings while in the slideshow. All data had 'disappeared' when I attempted to open the photo in its original project folder.
         Hope this is of help. Many thanks.

  • How to stop photos opening in preview. I have always edited photos right from my desktop and now they are all opening in preview.

    I have always edited photos right from my desktop and now they are all opening in preview. How do I change it back? Thanks!

    They open in Preview by default.
    However, if you open Picture Folder in Preview, navigate to any photo ( without opening it ) then right click on the photo and select Get Info from the dropdown menu.
    About  2/3rds' of the way down on the Get Info tab you'll see a Marker ' Open WIth '. Enter whichever editing program you're using.
    Whenever you open a photo from whatever it's location it will open in the chosen editing program.
    Hope this helps.

  • Just days ago, I downloaded and created folders for two batches of photos and now they are missing. They were not deleted by anyone, and even if they were, they were not found in my trash can. What happened? They were erased from my camera, so I am upset.

    Just days ago, I downloaded and created folders for 2 batches of photos I downloaded from my camera to iphotos but now both are missing.  They were not deleted and even if they were, were not found in my trashcan. I have looked through every folder and they are not there. Is there a bug that can get into iPhoto to do this? Is there a program Apple offers to retrieve lost photos? Thank you.

    debbie5891 wrote: ... They were not deleted and even if they were, were not found in my trashcan...
    How do you know they were not deleted? Is it possible that they were moved to the trash and the trash has been emptied, if not by you, perhaps by someone else?
    In the best case, you mean they were not deleted from your camera.  If so, it will be simple to merely download again from your camera after you have corrected any problem with your Mac or workflow.
    If you have a way to be certain that your two folders were not deleted from your Mac,  follow the directions provided by your Mac's Disk Utility to repair your Disk (not Disk Permissions.)  On more than one occasion, disk repair has restored the visibility of missing folders I knew I had not deleted.  If you have trouble with the process, post back which specific Mac OS version ( > About This Mac) you are using so we can offer specific help.
    It is also possible that the missing folders might be saved somewhere you do not expect them to be.
    It is also possible that they may merely be invisible and, thus, not showing in your Finder windows even after performing a Disk Repair.
    Here are some more ideas you can consider:
    Restart Mac and then look where you expect the folders to be.  They may be visible there now.
    If not, try a Spotlight search for the folder name(s) you used.  Spotlight may give you a list of places to look.  If you don't remember the folder name(s), try a search for the file type your camera uses for saved images.  My cameras save "jpg" files, but yours may save other image file types. 
    You can also open a finder window and use the window's search oval to search.  The method allows you to use the search "+" button to add invisible items via the "File Visibility"  choice.
    debbie5891 wrote:... I have looked through every folder and they are not there....
    If you are using any version of Mac OS X, I doubt this statement can be true.
    If you select your disk volume name (not the Media item) in the sidebar of your Mac's Disk Utility, you will see that the number of Folders and files on your disk is very large.  For example,I keep my startup disk small and write most of my files to other disks.  Even so, my startup disk contains more than 195,000 folders.
    If you mean you used some software to search each folder, please post back the name of the app you are using.
    debbie5891 wrote: ... Is there a bug that can get into iPhoto to do this? ...
    I have not had the problem you describe, nor have I heard of such an iPhoto Bug.
    I have used every version of iPhoto I have seen including the current new version: iPhoto '11 version 9.5 (902.7).  You can find the version you are using by executing the iPhoto > About iPhoto menu command and post it back here.
    debbie5891 wrote:... Is there a program Apple offers to retrieve lost photos? ...
    I am not aware of any Apple apps that work specifically on photo files.  If you know the pathname to the lost files, and if you are comfortable with Unix commands, you might be able to use your Mac's Terminal utility to retrieve at least some of your images.  However, it will be MUCH simpler to merely download another copy from your camera.
    You can search the Mac App Store for "unerase" to find several apps that can unerase files, including deleted photo files, in certain circumstances even after the trash has been emptied.  To determine whether one or more of them may meet your needs, see their product info and reviews for specifics about each one.
    debbie5891 wrote:...Thank you.
    You're most welcome.
    If you need to post back for more information, please provide specifics on your Mac OS, iPhoto version, which of the suggestions offered here you have tried, and any details not already provided about the problem status.

  • I imported photos to iPhoto and unplugged my phone and now they're gone?

    I tried clearing up space on my iPhone my importing some old photos onto my mac in iPhoto. After erasing the ones which needed to be erased, I unplugged my iphone without ejecting it. Now there are only photos up to January 2014 on my iPhone. I lost probably 500+ new photos because of this but they have to be somewhere, they can't just be gone? I would appreciate help quickly. Thanks.

    If they are not on your phone and they are not on your Mac, they are gone. Sorry.

  • We started using Match and now playlists are gone.   Can we get them back?

    My wife has spent a ton of time creating playlists but our music was all over - new computers and updated iPads and phones - we started using match.   Now the playlists are gone.   How can I get them back before I am gone.

  • I downloaded my photos into iPhoto, now they are gone.  Where did they go?, I downloaded my photos into iPhoto, now they are gone.  Where did they go?

    I dowloaded pictures from my camera card onto my computer like I've done dozens of time before.
    IPhoto immediately opens.
    I imported them.
    I put them into an album.
    I even began editing them.
    While I was editing.....
    i got the dreaded circle of color.
    Error message that iphoto stopped working, I clicked report.
    And, now my photos in that last download are gone.
    They aren't in my last download folder.
    They aren't on my card.  I of course, presssed delete when it asked if I wanted to save them.
    They aren't in my trash.
    I still see the album I created.  It just is now empty
    Please, please help.
    I'm working on a MacBook Pro.
    Purchased in October 2012
    Os X Version 10.8.5
    Currently in the hallway at my daughter basketball tournament trying not to cry.  I know that there are bigger problems in the world than me losing 500 pictures.  But, I'd really like them back.
    Please.

  • I uploaded thousands of photos from my ipad to iphoto and now they are nowhere to be found. Where are they?

    Hi! I just uploaded thousands of photos from my ipad to my iphoto on my macbook pro and when it notified me that it uploaded successfully and asked if I wanted to delete the photos on my ipad...I stupidly deleted them. But my main problem is that I cannot find these photos ANYWHERE! I searched every event and latest import and there was no luck. It's as if they were never imported in the first place. These photos are dear to me, please help!!!
    Mahalo,

    -This is iphoto '09 version 8.1.2
    And what is your MacOS X version?
    BUT! I used "Find Any File" demo software and it helped me find the "photos" but they weren't in iphoto, but on my mac(still not too sure where it was found.)
    Do you have "Find Any File" still open?
    If you click one of the found images, it will show you the path to the image files.Could you post what you are seeing then?
    Does the path start with your Home folder or outside? Desrcibe exactly the the names of the nested folders.
    Now my new problem is that the photos that were uploaded(or found) are tiny and pixelated. What i'm hoping is that I found a cheap version of the photos that were uploaded or something,
    Perhaps you found the thumbnails folder - if you can give us the path there, we may be able to find the matching Masters or Originals folder.

  • Help! I put every photo in the trash and now they are unorganized

    I put every photo in the trash and was not able to restore them to their original position.Thankfully, I was able to save these photos but they are now a jumble. Every photo spawned 5 or so derivatives- face photos, PM, etc. Plus, I had photos saved outside of iphoto and imported in to iphoto. Now iPhoto is full of empty squares.
    What is the best (and fasted way) to get to a restored state?
    Unfortunately, I have not backed up my computer for a year and a half. Can I drag photos into Masters and somehow keep the existing framework of iphoto that way it was before my terrible mistake? Should I just re-import using my back up as an intial state?
    Please advise!
    I appreciate the help as my sanity is in question,
    Sara

    What is the best (and fasted way) to get to a restored state?
    Restore your backup from before you made this user error
    Unfortunately, I have not backed up my computer for a year and a half.
    Very unfortuant and a really bad decision and a hard way to learn the critical nature of always haveing a current backup - Time Machine is included with every Mac - if you run it you always have hourly backups to go back to
    Can I drag photos into Masters and somehow keep the existing framework of iphoto that way it was before my terrible mistake?
    No
    If your Masters folder is intact you can start over from scratch and get the event structure you had - drag the Masters folder to the desktop, start a new iPhoto library and drag each folder from the Masters folder to the open iPhoto window - this will recreate the events you had
    and maybe if you provided some details about what you have and exactly how you recovered your photos theree is more that can be done
    .Thankfully, I was able to save these photos but they are now a jumble. Every photo spawned 5 or so derivatives- face photos, PM, etc
    Gives no clue about what you did or how you did it
    and knowing the version of iPhoto and of the OS is good information for us too
