Where did my pictures go?

I recently downloaded all of my pictures to my iPhone 5S. Obviously a big mistake since it ate up most of the memory in my phone. I was going to delete them on the phone and just turn off the photo sync in iTunes but when I hooked up the iPhone to a computer and tried to look at the photos just as data in the internal storage only photos from the iPhone photo stream are showing. The multiple folders and thousands of pictures that are on my iPhone are not showing in any photo folder in Windows Explorer. Where are they?

Yes but where are the pictures??? They are on the phone so when internal storage is brought up I should have access and visibility to all those pictures just like the iPhone is a flash drive data stick. An iPhone is a horrible device to manage a lot of photos. What if I didn't want to delete all of them I just wanted to delete say 1000 out of the 20,000 pictures I have right now on my iPhone. You would never want to do that touching each one on the screen of the iPhone. The best way to do it is access on the computer and manage that way. On my 4S I could hook up and access the files and view all photos on a laptop for better management. How do I do that now? Thanks!

Where did my pictures in icloud go?

How did you get them there? icloud does not store photos except for those in camera roll included in a backup and those in photo stream.

I took a text picture when I was using the keyboard where did the picture go?

Is your question related to Adobe Reader on Android? Could you please elaborate more?

Ahh! Where did My Pictures go!?

I tried to get the folder "My Pictures" which contains ALL of my pictures and sub folders etc etc onto my Desktop by Dragging the "My Pictures" Icon from the Finder onto the Desktop and then a little DUST smoke thing appeared and now I can't find it!!
Where did it go? I'm panicking! I can't lose all my pictures...and it definitely couldn't be that easy to lose them all?
I'm sure there is a simple solution but I'm completely lost...where has it gone?

I have no idea where it went but I went to GraphicConverter and tried to see if the folder actually did in fact disappear off the face of the Earth but it was there and I just had to go to Users then I found it, made a duplicate of the folder and moved it to my Desktop and back to the normal place in the Finder.
I honestly don't know what that was all about, though! It really scared me haha.

Where did my picture go?

Hi,
Im still a beginner regarding Aperture. I wanted to post some of my pictures from an album on FB and decided to flag some pictures in the first screening process. Under Metadata it says the key-command for flag is "/". I used the /-button that is located on the calculator side (or whatever you call it) of the keyboard. Press the button and a "x" came up on the lower left side of the picture….no flag on top. I switched to the next picture but when i switched back the x-marked picture was gone. Where has it gone?
It's not in the trash and not among the flagged pictures. What have I done wrong?
Thanx

Hi Jonatan. Welcome to Aperture and the Aperture Discussions.
What you did (without wanting to) was press "9". (It is possible -- please confirm this -- that pressing / on the numeric keypad on your keyboard using the language you have set on you computer sends the command equal to "9", but I find that unlikely.)
"9" equals "reject". Read up in the User Manual about what this means. In short, the rating system has seven levels: rejected, unrated, and one through five. Rejected images remain in their Project, but by default they are not shown. Use the view Filter or Search drop-down to show rejected images. Using the Search drop-down, change 'Unrated or better" to "Rejected" and you should see your image. Select it, and then change the rating to something other than "Rejected".
Note that the rating system is separate from the image deleting system. "Rejected" is a rating. Deleting an image sends it to the Aperture Trash. (Trash has its own quirks, but we'll save that for later.)

Archive and Install... or ... Where did my pictures go?

Ok, so I had to total brain malfunction and did a Archive and Install when I did the last OS update. So now my user account is gone and hiding inside the "previous system" folder. I'd really like to retrieve iPhoto albums, pictures, books, events, etc. Is it possible?
Thanks!
John

Next time select the option to preserve User and internet settings (I think that's what it's called). This will keep your account intact so you don't have to retrieve it from the Previous System folder.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Question--where did my pictures go?

Alright, I know at the beginning of every month, a new album is made for the month previously, but I'm missing a large amount of my pictures. Where the heck did they go??

Sync is how all media gets onto, and is removed from, your Zune player or Zune-enabled phone. When you sync your Zune device with your computer, the Zune software updates your player or phone with any changes you’ve made to your collection, adding or removing content according to the sync options you choose. With Zune, you control exactly what syncs from your Zune collection to your device.
Zune automatically syncs all items of a particular media type in your collection with your player or phone (provided there's enough room on your device). If there is not enough space older information is deleted.

My iPhoto library has disappeared and there is no past library for me to import. Where did my pictures go?

I was cleaning up my laptop last night to free up some space. I deleted some unessecary pictures from iphoto and re-organised my events. I then deleted some pictures from 'images' which shows up in 'all my files' - I didn't delete any of the pictures that I kept in my iphoto, but not all my pictures showed up in 'images' anyway. I also then deleted the pictures that were loose in the 'pictures' folder but these were all edits I had done in photoshop not the originals. I emptied my trash before I went to sleep and this morning when I turned on my laptop my iphoto library was gone and there was no past library to import so I had to create a new one. Although I have the pictures from my 'images' folder not all of my pictures are there. Have I lost my pictures for good?

No previous backup? When you opened iPhoto did you get any error messages? iPhoto normally stores the images inside /Machintosh HD/Users/YOURNAME/Pictures/iPhoto Library you won't be able to simply look at the images if you go there directly you have to open it with iPhoto. You can hold the option key > then open iPhoto to make sure you didn't somehow create a different library.

Where did my picture folders go?

I thought this went too smoothly. I just transferred all my files via firewire from to my new MacBook Pro from my two year old PowerBook G4. All the dated (year, month, date) pictures folders have disappeared. All the pictures show up in iPhoto -- although a little jumbled --- but there are no folders showing in the finder.
(I discovered this when I went to attach a photo to an email in Mail.)
Where are they? Help. Thanks in advance.

Jane
There's actually no need whatever for the hack now:
There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
To upload to MySpace or any site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser. Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Also, for 10.5 users: If you use the extended Open or Attach dialogue (with Column View) you can scroll to the bottom of the Shortcuts and find the Media browser there. Select any pic you want from there.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor)as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically.

WHERE DID THE PICTURES GO???

My iphoto 5 is not showing me my pictures! I spoke to an apple representative and he directed me here. I really hope someone can help me!
Apparently my pictures have become corrupt or unreadable. Is there a way for me to be able to find them again on my Mac? I was mentioned that I could find a type of software that would restore my pictures.
My pictures are on my picture folder but they say that the file size is 0kb!! ANY SUGGESTIONS?
Any further questions that would help you help me would be great.
Email me to [email protected] please! thanks!

Editing with outside editor - where did the pictures go????

I edited four pictures in iPhoto with Photoshop. I saved each one and closed Photoshop and went back to iPhoto. But the edited photos don't show up in iPhoto! Why not? WilliamL

To add a bit to the discussion, when you edit a file with PS/PSE and find that the application wants to save the file as a psd you have two options:
1 - close the save window and flatten the file, making it a jpg again and then save or
2 - do a Save As to the Desktop and then import as a new file.
A number of times I just want the jpg so flattening the file keeps it as a jpg and doesn't add a second file to the library.
Do you Twango?

My moments won't let me see my old picture from the summer like in August. Why is that? Where did my pictures go? It only shows picture from December.

Its about my photo.

I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

Can someone tell me how to find my photos?I backed up my iPhone but Photostream was not on.pictures are not on my laptop so where did they go?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Backing up does not transfer your photos to your computer, if you don't want to enable photo stream, you will need to transfer your photos when your device is connected to your computer using iTunes.

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:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

HT4906 where did many of my pictures in photo stream go to after I backed up my phone to get deleted text messages

Where did my photo stream pictures disappear to after I backed up my iphone4s to retrieved deleted text messages. I need them back to my phone.

Or ask in the iTunes forum which you use to backup iPhone contents.
