Why didn't all of my photos transfer to the new OS X Yosemite from my old OS X version?

I just had a new operating system installed (OS X Yosemite 10.10.1.  When I tried to open iPhoto to view my photos from the old system,  a message indicated that I needed the newer iPhoto installed before I could view the photos I had stored on my old version.  After installation, many of the photos from the old iPhoto did not transfer.  How can I retrieve the old photos or are they lost forever?

Do you have a backup you can restore from?
Try holding down the command - option keys while opening iPhoto and rebuild the Library.
iPhoto Library rebuild

  • HT5868 I am always prompted to Trust this computer, but still my iTunes will not sync.  I have Windows 8 on my  laptop.  All of my photos transfer to the computer just fine, but the iTunes is not communicating between my phone and laptop.

    I am always prompted to Trust the Computer by my iPhone 4S, but still my iTunes will not sync.  I have Windows 8.  All of my pictures transfer to the computer when I plug my phone in, but not the iTunes. My playlists and purchased songs are not syncing either from the computer to the phone, or from the phone to the computer.  I have been working on this for days and have tried every suggestion in Help

    you just need to call the apple support or just book an appointment at the genus bar at your nearest apple store.

  • Why won't all of my ringtones sync with the new software?

    I have recently updated my iphone 4 with the new iOS 5.0.1 software. I noticed when I downloaded the iOS 5.0 software not all of my ringtones would sync to my phone. I hoped when I downloaded iOS 5.0.1 the problem would correct itself, but it has not. HELP!

    Click on your devices name on the left hand side of iTunes. This will take you to a summary page
    go to the ringtones tab
    take the checkmark out from next to sync ringtones
    click apply to preform a sync
    recheck sync ringtones and apply
    ringtones should come over to your phone

  • Why didn't apple include a radio feature on the new iPod touch but included it on the nano?

    Apple should have built in a radio for the new iPod touch. If they do that then I will consider buying one but for now I'll just use my old iPod with the radio

    All we can say is "because they didn't". You can suggest it to Apple here:

  • Why can't I resize a text box in the new Preview in Yosemite?

    I just upgraded to Yosemite, and I am having trouble with the new Preview.  I am a student and my notes are pdfs.  I have been using Preview to take notes on the pdfs for the past two years.  I have always been able to insert a text box, make it a certain size (resizing it using the text box function and dragging the corners/sides to fit the space in which I want to type), and type easily.  In the new Yosemite Preview, I can insert a text box, but I can only resize it horizontally (not diagonally or vertically), and when the text reaches the right edge of my box, it moves upwards instead of continuing the text downwards (the entire box shifts up so that my typing line is in the same position as where I started and the previous text is now above).  Is there any way to get around this?  I really don't want to purchase software just to be able to easily add text to a pdf.

    I find it annoying too. Also, when you want to add text, you always need to open the title bar and then to text box always goes in the middle of the document. The only way I found to get over that issue was to ask my friend to put Preview 7.0 on a USB key (he is still on Mavericks) and then I dragged it in my application folder. It works for some PDFs but not for all of them unfortunatelly...

  • I already have an iPod with over 2,000 songs.  Just got the iPhone.  If I sync my new iPhone to my computer, will all  my music automatically transfer to the new phone, or will I lose everything?

    I already have an iPod with over 2,000 songs.  Just got the iPhone.  If I sync my new iPhone to my computer, will I lose my songs or will they automatically sync to my phone.

    When you connect the phone to your computer, you can select the music you want to sync, all music, just selected playlists, just selected artists or genres.  See this: Overview of syncing iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with your computer:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386

  • Why aren't all of my photos showing up that I am trying to save directly from my email? particularly jpegs?

    Why aren't all of my photos showing up that I am trying to save directly from my email on my iPad2? particularly jpegs?
    Usually i just hold my finger down and am able to save all the photos attached in an email and now only certain photos are actually being saved. And in some instances the actual image is not there but instead just the word "jpeg"
    Why? and or how do I fix this....
    I loved being able to do the one step hold and save all from emails :-( Now its hold, save all and then pray that they actually make it in my photo album
    HElp)))))))))

    When you first enable photo stream on your Mac it only downloads photos from the last 30 days, as older photos are no longer in iCloud.  If the missing photos are older photos, that's probably the reason.

  • Photos didn't transfer with the new/reply email - how to recover them?

    Was sent these fabulous photos and when my co-worker replied to him, the photos didn't transfer with the new/reply email, unfortunately she deleted the original email.  I found this info instead of the attached photos - any idea how I can open these or get back the photos without asking him to resend?
    Thanks!

  • I have lightroom.  My photos are stored on an external disk drive with a backup disk.  With iCloud, will all of my photos go to the cloud?  Will I still need the external drives? Is the $9.99 per month for just one year or for always?

    I am an amateur photographer and have lightroom.  My photos are stored on an external disk drive with a backup disk.  With iCloud, will all of my photos go to the cloud?  Will I still need the external drives? Is the $9.99 per month for just one year or for always? 

    If the iTunes database files are on that drive, launch iTunes with the Shift key(Windows) or Option key(Mac OS X) held down, select Choose Library, and navigate to it. The computer may need to be authorized to play protected content, and if the library contains rented movies, those won't play.
    If not, import the content to an iTunes library.

  • All of my photos now have the same photo when I look at them in the viewing area.  I have to actually open the photo itself to see the actual photo.  this makes it impossible to work with the photos in iphoto.  Help!

    All of my photos now have the same photo when I look at them in the viewing area. It makes it look as though all of my photos are the exact same! I have to actually open the photo itself to see the actual photo.  this makes it impossible to work with the photos in iphoto.  How can I return it so that I see the photo itself in the preview area? Thank you!

    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. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. This can take three or four goes.

    Importing your music folder will add in the tracks, but your playlists all live in the original .itl file. Not quite sure why any playlists were imported at all, though if you have exported m3u files then they could have been added in when you added the folder. iTunes records absoulte paths in these lists and ignores any file it can't find.
    The stuff in the Temp folder can be thrown away once everything is working. Just safer than deleting in case you wanted/needed to reverse any actions.
    At step 6 you should have had your original library complete with ratings, playlists, date added values etc., so I'm not quite sure where things have gone wrong.
    When you moved everything up one level did that include an iTunes Library.itl file? Another way of asking the same question is when you got to step 6 did you have a completely blank library with the prompts to add music.
    Perhaps the .itl file was corrupt. The .tmp files indicate something may have gone wrong at some point. What are the sizes/dates of the files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder? The most recently dated of these, providing it is at least of a comparable size to its predecessors) may well be a better starting point. You can rename the current itl as iTunes Library (Temp).itl, copy the the older file up to the iTunes folder and rename it as iTunes Library.itl.
    Use iTunes Folder Watch to update the library with tracks that have been added or removed since the backup file was created.

  • HT1766 After I backed up my new iPhone with content from my old iPhone, all of my new content was deleted. How do I retrieve it?

    After backing up my new iPhone with content from my old iPhone, all of my new content (photos, voice memos, etc) was deleted. How do I retreive this?

    If you just bought the iPhone today, the first time you connect a new iPhone or iOS device to iTunes the first time that is used to sync with another iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iOS device to the new iOS device, or set up the new device as a new device.
    Sounds like you did the former and if so, this did not include backing up the new iPhone first. All data on the iPhone was replaced with the backup for the iPod Touch. The data that was on the iPhone at that time is gone.
