Why are my photos from iPhone disappearing? Why do I now have several iPhoto libraries?

Hi!
A while ago, I realized that all my photos from iPhoto were missing. Apple told me that I accidentally deleted them from the applications folder. This has happened again a couple times now. I have been backing my photos up with a hardrive, and for some reason I now have several libraries, all containing different photos that I once thought had been deleted. Is it possible to have only one iPhoto librbay instead of several? And why is it that sometimes when I open iPhoto, all my photos are suddenly missing?

Hi ...
Photos are not stored in the Applications folder, only Applications.
If you are using iCloud, open System Preferences > iCloud. Deslect the box next to Photo Stream off then back on. Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync your photos.
If you are not using iCloud, try rebuilding the iPhoto library.
Instructions > iPhoto 6 and later: Rebuilding the iPhoto library

Told me to try unchecking the box to sync Photos.
Do a sync.
Then check the box.
And sync again.
Going to try that now. Let me know if it works for you James

HT3965 Why are my photos from iPhone NOT coming up on my iPad. Same account for iCloud??

I can't sync photos from iPhone onto iPad. I have same iCloud acct for both

If you are talking about PhotoStream then it only transmits newly taken photos or just saved saved photos. Of course you have to turn PhotoStream On on each of your devices. See Settings > iCloud > Photos > Photostream.
If you just want to move selected photos between devices you can use an App like Photo Transfer:

Where are the photos on your phone and where are you expecting to see them that you don't.

You didn't read the specs before installing the OS?

Why are my photos with Iphone 5 totally off from what I am shooting at.

I'm a photographer so not a bad shot, frequently my picture when aimed at a full body or group of people will only capture the very lower half (feet and large floor area). The next shot might be fine, Please help it's driving me nuts! Thanks!

When I plugged in the new backup (external drive) and clicked on iPhoto library, it opened iPhoto in the exact place I was working and that one photo was gone.
When you clicked on the library iPhoto on the EHD iPhoto is op;ending the last library that was previously opened. To change libraries launch iPhoto with the Option key held down to get this window:
Then select the library that is on the EHD if it's in the window. If it isn't, click on the Other Library button, navigate to the EHD and select the library there.

Why are my photos from iPhoto library deleted from my external hard drive when I am only deleting them from my internal drive?

I did a backup of photos (iPhoto library) from my internal to an external hard drive. I have started to delete photos from my internal hard drive. It seems that when I delete from the internal drive, photos also delete from the external. I did a test and deleted one photo from iPhoto internal drive. When I plugged in the new backup (external drive) and clicked on iPhoto library, it opened iPhoto in the exact place I was working and that one photo was gone. What do I do? I do not want to delete the photos off of my external hard drive.

Why are my photos on iPhone not showing up on the iPad?

photo stream is on both the iPad and iPhone but the pics on my iPhone are not showing up on the ipad

I'm not sure how true this is..... Then again I'm not sure I totally understand this whole cloud thing yet. But I have 742 photos on my photo stream on my iPhone and only 144 of them on my iPad. I turned off photo stream on the iPad and turned it back on and it loaded even less then the original 144 pics. I'm at a loss. They were all synced with my iPad until recently. And if this statement is true about syncing only the new ones since turning on photo stream then my iPad photo stream would have loaded zero pics. What happened?

Why are 16x9 photos from PSE8 not filling screen when exported to PRE8?

I batch cropped a bunch of photos to (JPEG) 16x9 and created a slideshow in PSE8 (about 100 slides, 3.2 sec duration, random pan/zoom, random 1 sec transition). I had to click on each photo "properties" and choose "fit on slide" since it was defaulting to "crop to fit" (which was further cropping my 16x9 photos down to something not desirable).
When I "Output to PSE8" it shows up in the sceneline as not filling the entire space. If I click on this slide show in PRE8 and use the "properties" then "motion" and increase the size of the pictures, they come out blurry. However, if I insert one of the 16x9 photos directly into PRE8, it fills the entire screen and is perfect focused.
PLEASE tell me there is an easier solution than having to create the entire slideshow in PRE8. I really like the random transitions, easy batch duration pan/zoom, control.

Thanks for such a quick response Steve. I will attempt to add more information to help clarify your addtional quesitons
The pan and zoom I am using is the default (very minor- just enough to give the perception of movement).
If I import directly into PRE8 the picture(s) look perfect. It just seems to occur after I port to PRE8
I am not sure what workflow I am following but will be a bit more specific as to the steps I have been taking:
1. I open the PSE8 workspace and choose "organize" (not edit)
2. I click on "create" then click on "slideshow"
3. Next I set my specific defaults (for this project) 3.2 sec interval, 1 second Random transitions, apply pan and zoom to all slides and leave the "crop to fit slide-landscape" checked ( thanks for the tip to uncheck this next time, so I dont have to do it to every slide!!)
4. I then import my media from "add media" "photos and videos from folders" place the photos in the order i am looking for then save the project.
5.I next click "output" and "edit with Premiere Elements" - which open PRE8
6. in PRE8 setup I choose the "HDV 1080i 30" configuration.
The slideshow has now ported over to PRE8. The slideshow bundle does not utilize all of the space in the sceneline, hence my problem (black bars top and bottom of screen). Ironically, when I import via get media (directly from PRE8) the same pictures from my computer file (not in the organizer), they fill the entire space in the sceneline (no black bars on top or bottom). I have this problem regardless of whether or not I am using the pan/zoom or the unchecking of crop to fit slide landscape in PSE8.
I can send a screen print if you think that might help??
I sure hope this helps, all the other video items that are not related to this slideshow are perfect and this is killing me!!
Thanks, again, Mike

Sink photos from Iphone disappear on computer

my photos disappear after beeing back up to a computer

I guess I'm a bit confused. Syncing an iOS device via iTunes works just fine, but the confusing thing about Apple computers is that iTunes won't download photos. iPhoto or Image Capture are the two built in Apps designed to download images off a camera / iPhone. Try to clarify the problem more and maybe we can offer some suggestions. Your issue is still a bit vague.

How to upload photos from iPhone to "Pictures Folder" in "Finder" without using iPhoto at all?

I personally hate iPhoto and would like my photos to upload directly into a "selected" folder under "Pictures" in "Finder" from my iPhone or camera card. Then I would like to delete iPhoto from my computer. Any answers?

Really simple. Just don't use it.
To get images from your phone/camera/whatever: Image Capture (in the Applications Folder)
If you have images in the iPhoto Library already: Export them - File -> Export.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
That said, taking 15 minutes to understand iPhoto will offer you far more options for storing, searching, finding and sharing your photos than folders in the Finder ever will.
