ICloud On Mac :: Photos Are Nearly 1000 / How To Get Them Back
Aug 23, 2014
when I open iPhoto on my Mac Book Pro I can see I NOW have a 1,000 photos, as I understand it the oldest photos will NOW get deleted, so how can I Copy all of these 1,000 photos to either my MacBookPro or to an external drive ?.
Info:
OS X Mavericks (10.9), iPhone 5S, wife has iPad2 and my 4S
I have a lot of pictures on my Mac, and I don't want to include them in photo stream. They are all in the "Pictures" folder, but I have only imported a few of them into iPhoto. WIll all my pictures be included or just those in iPhoto? I think it's just the imported ones but I want to be sure before I set up the storage & backup in iCloud.
First off let me confess I am pretty useless with this stuff compared to the people here. I have searched the forums and while there seem to be a lot of people with similar problems, I haven't really seen a solution that I fully understand or that would help me with my specific problem.
The Problem:
I'm using a 3 month old 13.3" Macbook with bootcamp installed. Recently I turned it on and OSX wouldn't load. I had not changed anything on the laptop at all. When it tried to load just got the grey/ blue screen and spinning gear thing. I turned it off and booted into windows no problem. Later I did it again but left it running and eventually OSX did load but the problem recurred when I shut down and now the OSX partition doesn't even show up when I start the computer. Nothing happens for a while and then windows starts. No OSX.
What I've tried:
After looking through the forums here I have tried booting into safe mode and single userness, whatever that is, and it's the same- nothing happens and then windows starts.
I've tried booting from the install disk and running disk utility on the mac partition (it shows up in disk utility) but I get the "invalid node structure" error and it says the disk can't be repaired. When I try to verify I get an error saying the disk "could not be unmounted" (I assume that is a euphemism).
Windows works just fine.
What I really want to know is whether I need to reinstall OSX and, if so, whether I can recover some data first. I just got back from a family wedding and have a number of photos that I hadn't backed up (duh) and I really want to try and get them off the disk.
I understand Diskwarrior might work, but I don't mind reinstalling OSX as long as I can back up the drive first. I have an external USB drive, but absolutely no idea what I would have to do to use it as a backup, or how to recover the photos from it if I do. There is mention on these forums of an "archive/install" option which sounds promising...
Sorry for the long post, just wanted to be specific.
I have a neighbor who's husband passed away way too early (41 years old). She has an eMac with over 2,000 pictures on it. Needless to say, but I'll say it anyway, those pictures are irreplaceable.
I have no experience with an eMac. How can I safely store those photos for her? I believe that they are in iPhoto, but haven't verified that yet.
I have an iMac and a MacBook (brand new) that I can take next door if need be. Or, I can bring the eMac to my house.
I inadvertently moved photos from iphoto to trash. I want to move them back to iphotos. I have not emptied the trash so they are still in trash. How can I retrieve these images?
I was trying to move my new photos into albums and was deleting them as i went, but my pictures did not save in the albums and are not in my trash.. where can i find them ?
how best to download photos from a SD card, not use the storage on the MacBook, have the ability to back up to a cloud system bbut able to view photos in iPhoto?Â
I updated my MacBook Pro but it froze half way through installing so I turned the MacBook off, when it came back on I had a problem with the software and had to install it properly again. Doing that caused me to loose all my files originally on the laptop, i had to set it up like a brand new.
All my photos were stored on my iPhoto but when I downloaded the app and opened it up none of my photos I had were there. Is there any way to get all my photos back at all? There's a lot of photos I've lost because of the update freezing on my MacBook.
I have too many photos on my mac and they are slowing down the computer. They are taking up 3/4 of the space on my hard drive. I have a separate hard drive which I use to back up my computer and access it using time machine. Whats the best way to store the photos?
Backed up my macbook air using time machine to my time capsule. Then went into iphoto and backed up pictures just to make sure. (They are all the pictures of my 6 and 2 year old since birth, very important to me). Opened time machine to make sure that my pictures had backed up, they were there and I figure everything is good.
I install Snow Leopard and after rebooting all pictures are gone. My iphoto library is gone. I went from 49.68 gig of used storage space on my hard drive pre-Snow Leopard to 17.92 gig of used storage space on my hard drive after installing Snow Leopard. I get kind of hacked off but figure there is no big deal since I know that my photos are in my Time Capsule. I go into time machine and there are 0 jpegs, 0 iphoto libraries and no pictures of any kind other than icons.
I freak the heck out and just plain don't understand. I call Apple 2 hours on the phone yesterday and 2.5 hours on the phone today and I am told that it is a problem being passed onto the engineering department and that they will get back to me but most likely the photos are gone and they are sorry. 3500 photos of my children's lives eaten by the dang Snow Leopard.
This is unacceptable, I did everything right in this instance, backing up my things, even spent the extra money to buy the time capsule, from apple, to make sure my backups went flawlessly. Got an appointment with the Genius Bar at the local retail store for Sunday but I was told today that they will more than likely not be able to help and will just add to the notes on my "Case" with apple.
i deleted the wrong folders in Lightroom and this has stopped me from viewing some photos in iPhoto,the thumbnail is there but when i click on it there is no image,can i use time machine to get the photos back and how do i do it as i have never used time machine before.
I purchased a smart ups 1000 to protect my mac pro from power cuts and I currently have it on charge the only thing is I am not sure how to connect my mac pro to it (as it is my first time setting one up) I get that I have to plug the ups into the mains but then how do I connect the mac pro to the ups do I simply plug the 3 pin plug (I live in the UK) into the ups so the connections go cable plugged into mains>other end plugged into ups>mains end of mac pro power cable plugged into ups.other end of mac pro mains cable plugged into mac pro.
If this is correct the reason I have not realised it is because the holes on the back of the ups look a bit to close together for UK plug holes.
Has anybody installed an HP LaserJet 1000? I'm trying to do so onto an iMac, but not having any luck.
Been to the HP website and searched for drivers; they only show Windows drivers available for download. I downloaded some sort of generic program from HP, "HP LaserJet for Mac v5.5.2". It ran and installed some sort of stuff onto my Mac, and the Mac physically recognizes and identifies the LaserJet 1000 by name when I am in >System Preferences >Print and Fax > + ["add printers"], but the "Print Using" dialog box just reads "Please select a driver or printer model".
Auto Select does not work, and if I search through the list of built-in printers in Leopard (...>Print Using: >"Select a driver to use..."), a bunch of HP LaserJet models are listed, starting with the 1010 and incrementing upward. But no HP 1000.
Anybody successfully installed or using the HP LJ 1000?
I have a mini and 5 other devices on the same apple ID. All of my existing photos made it to the photo stream when I originally signed up for icloud. Now, when we upload new photos from our camera onto our mini, they won't go to the cloud. I can't find the icloud icon anywhere on my mini anymore.
Info:Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.6.8), I have a free agent terra byte HD
My mobileme account will be terminated on 30 Jun 2012.I want to know how to backup my gallery and photos to icloud. I know that there is photo steaming, however this is not what I want to achieve. I want to save all my galleries there again. It is due to this question, I have not yet buy the extra space from icloud.
I recently purchased a Microsoft LifeCam VX-1000 and I'm not finding a way for it to properly run on my Mac (PowerMac G4 867mhz Dual, 10.4.11). I've download MaCam which does allow it to work, but solely through MaCam. I'm trying to get it to work with Skype.
