Why did all my pictures disappear? How can I get them back?

Every picture in my library disappeared how can I get them back?

That is very unfortunate and a very poor decision - with no backup you are guaranteed to lose your photos sooner or later - this might be the time - for any possible help you will have to provide details
What version of iPhoto> Of the OS? what has recently changed? what do you think might have caused this? What exactly leads you to believe that your pictures have disappeared?
And I strongly recommend that you purchase a hard drive about 2 to 2 1/2 times the size of our main drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and start running TimeMachine ASAP

If you have failed to make sure that any apps purchased on the iphone were transferred to your computer before updating, then you will have to redownload.
Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick Links.

By reinstalling do you mean that you deleted the app and redownloaded it ? Deleting an app will remove the app and its contents. Do you have copies of the PDFs in the Books part of your computer's iTunes library so that you can sync them back ?

I just upgraded my iPhone4 iOs and lost ALL Phone Contacts! How can I get them back?

HELP! I've been using my iPhone consistently for ALL phone numbers, since I have serious memory problems due to fibromyalgia. I upgraded my phone last night finally, having moved my photos out of it I had the space to download and install the upgrade.
I got a nasty shock this morning when I tried to make a routine call and found ALL of my phone contacts missing. They don't seem to be either in the cloud or in the phone. What happened? It said it was storing them in the cloud but they're all gone! How can I get them back?
IF this normally happens, why should I ever upgrade? Seriously! I didn't think to copy all of it out manually before upgrading, I'd upgraded once before without any problems. Addresses and other details gone too. I've got four numbers in "Favorites" but no context for them beyond location by state. I don't even know who they are - can't recognize just the numbers.

Thanks, but I checked iCloud and it has none of them.
If it backed up to my laptop, that died and I just got the new computer. The one that's crashed won't even boot, so there's no way to even tell if it was syncing the contacts along with all the phone photos. Literally happened at the same time - it was because I had the new computer that I was finally able to pull the photos off the phone and make room for the upgrade. It had refused to upgrade for lack of space for some time.
I had thought it was set to sync to iCloud but it vanished from BOTH my phone and the cloud. That's why I'm so angry about it.

I had pictures and videos on my I phone 4 s which I wanted to put onto my laptop, and I dunno what I pressed on I tunes it totally wiped out all my stuff. How can I get them back??? Help???

I had pictures and videos on my I phone 4s which I tried to put onto my laptop and I don't know what I pressed on I tunes it just completely wiped out all my data, how can I get all that back I've been told e everything is still in the phones hardware does anyone know how I can get it back??? Need help please???

Do you see them on the phone? If not, they are NOT "still in the phones hardware".
It's hard to suggest a course of action when we don't know what you did and you are unable to tell us.
If they are not on your computer, and they are not on the phone, I don't know what else to suggest...
Were you using iCloud? Did you have photo stream enabled? If you did, they would have been uploaded to iCloud. If you did not, then they are gone.

TS4002 All the email I had imported into my iMac (over 75) and were listed under ON MY MAC have disappeared. how can I get them back?

I have lost all of my changes -- How can I get them back?

I have made changes to many files in many folders. I have successfully moved several of those folders from my laptop to a USB external hard drive (as my laptop just cannot hold all photos).
This week, I purchased an installed a Network Attached Storage drive . . . and I copied all folders and photographs from my USB hard drive to the new networked drive. Then I disconnected my USB drive. Instead of then "locating" the "missing" folders (and re-mapping them one by one to the network drive), I "removed" the old folders from lightroom and re "imported" them from the new location on the network drive.
UNFORTUNATELY - none of my changes are there. How do I get these back?
Thank you for any help.

Use a backup of your catalog that you made before you did this. If you don't have one, the changes are gone.

Sync deleted all of my contacts, how can I get them back?

I recently got an iPhone 4s. I synced it to iTunes for the first time to transfer all the music and apps from my iPod touch to my iPhone. In the process all of my contacts, messages, and notes were deleted. I checked for a backup but there hasn't been a backup for my iPhone yet, is there any way I can get my contacts back?

Megan,
It really is very simple.
First of all look in the recycle bin where your songs may still be.
If not, and they're deleted from the computer, and your iPod, there is no way to get them back without using some data recovery software such as PodSalvage.
I was trying to help in another of your posts, why post again?

Lost audiobooks that have been purchased are gone and iTunes is saying that I have to repurchase them. I have all of the receipts, how can I get them back without having to pay another hundred dollars?

ITunes is saying that the only way to get back all seven of my audiobooks are to repurchase them, however that is going to be about a hundred dollars to repurchase them all and I don't have that kind of money right now. Why are they making me do this and why the **** did they delete them in the first place, because I know I didn't delete them. I am on a MacBook Pro OS X version 10.9.5, processor 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, memory 2GB 1067 MHz DDR3.

HI ..
You're sure you signed into iTunes using the same Apple ID used for the purchases?
You can re dowload past purchases for free > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

HT4994 i lost all of my contacts how can i get them back

Please help!! I hit the sync button so that I could update to 6.0 and all of my contacts are gone. I even backed it up so I thought and no contacts still. Please tell me how to retrieve my contacts.

Icloud?
Do you back your contacts to your carrier? I know Verizon offers this.

HT203167 some of my purchased ringtones have disappeared, how can I get them back?

I purchased a new iphone 5 yesterday and was able to load all of my files onto it, or at least I thought I had. This morning I realized some of my purchased ringtones and text tones were missing. Naturally, I figured they would be available for redownloading in the itunes store just like I've done hundreds of times before, but in the purchases area, it says all of my purchases have been downloaded. I don't think I should have to pay for these ringtones again. Is there something I'm missing? Is there someone I can complain to from iTunes? Please help.

Unfortunately, this is exactly what is supposed to happen. Tones are not part of the Cloud, it is your responsibility to back them up.
If you are lucky, they may get regranted or something, depending on age etc. Try iTS and see what happens.

Working alternating with iPhoto and FCE tgrying to import pictures from iPhoto into FCE suddenly all my 22300 pictures disappeared leaving empty frames. Does somebody know where the pictures could have gone and how can I get them back into iPhoto? Lothar

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. .
