Photo recovery

Advice please!

OK after nearly a decade, my iMac went to Steve Jobs in the "icloud Pearly sky. His death, never to be recovered, according to the Apple store.

I have a variety of other mac devices: iphones, ipads, macbooks.

I've had (quite recently) also saved everything, including all of my files - lucky me. Most of the cases is sitting in disks hard piggy backed to my Time Capsule airport.

But the most valuable thing of all the pictures, which I have thousands. Most often family and friends, adventures and memories. I'm not professional. Fortunately, I have all these saved too, however...

I was with opening to manage my photos. Apple no longer supports Aperture, and they have released the photo for Mac.

So I have some photos in several places:

  • A drive to hardd containing Masters of opening (most of the photos are here)
  • Another hard drive containing the time Machine (unfortuanely that seems to have stopped in July 2015)
  • Luckily I have most of my photos from 2015 on my macbook Pro in Photo

1. so, how now consolidate all this? Literally, what to do now?

Just to add to the question, I think it's time to upgrade to Icloud photo library. Ive looked upward the maintenance costs of the latter in the icloud:

Australia (AUD)
50 GB: $ 1.49
200 GB: $ 4.49
1 TB: $14.99

As I have over 200 GB, I guess I'm ready for a $15 per month, or $180 per year. Expensive, but the files are accessible from everywhere, on all devices and never have to go through this pain and I was wondering what to do when your computer or hard disk dies. Also, in Australia, a new 1 TB hard drive is worth about $100 to buy (a little less).

2 comments on place to store photos?

The best way to store your photos depend on the application that you use to manage and edit your photos.

You have already exploered the new Photos for Mac. You want to use it in the future or you want to migrate to another professional application, such as Lightroom and Capture One?   Photos has not yet advanced including Aperture tools. As a former user of Aperture, you will find that it limiting.

If Photos nevertheless enough for your needs, you can simply use Aperture to merge all of your Aperture libraries into a librray and then open the Aperture merged photo library.  or migrate the original opening Photos libraries. Photos can process the referenced photos or to consolidate them in the library.

Just to add to the question, I think it's time to upgrade to Icloud photo library. Ive looked upward the maintenance costs of the latter in the icloud:

You want to access your library of photos from more than a mac or from mobile devices?  iCloud Pjhoto library is a synchronization service, to keep several libraries in sync and up-to-date across devices. It is not primarily a storage cloud for your photos and is not a backup. You will still need to make the local backps on a regular basis.

If you don't need a synchronization of your overall device library, you do not need o move your photos to iCloud. It will just cost money and make access to slower photos

But if you use your library of several Macs or mobile devices, iCloud library facilitates the work with the photo library.

  • The photo recovery deleted during cleanup of Uniblue Powersuite

    I accidentally deleted photos from my computer when using Uniblue «Powersuite»  This program is used to get rid of temporary files, registry cleaning operations, etc.  One of the topics in which my pictures have disappeared was a duplicate files remover.  When I logged in this program, there were two (2) copies of the same photos, so he allowed me to remove one of the two copies of the photos; actually, if I clicked on the other in duplicate, I was invited by program Powersuite I could only delete a single photo.  This, in fact, deleted ALL my photos!
    I tried to restore the system to an earlier date for the photos, (I thought), were not deleted.  However, I have been unsuccessful three (3) times using the calendar days that were offered.
    I'm not very computer 'savvy' and I thought that only duplicate photos would be deleted, not all!
    I hope you can help me with this.  If you need further information, I would be happy to send more if it helps.
    Thank you very much!

    There are programs of software designed to recover the

    I hope you can recover some or all your
    deleted files. (no activity on your system drive can
    overwrites deleted files and make them unrecoverable)

    For hard drive recovery, it would be preferable to
    Use the portable version and run it from external

  • photo recovery for Windows Live Photo Gallery that have been deleted from the Recycle Bin

    By mistake I deleted a folder containing photos. Then I emptied the trash before realizing that the file was with other things that I had deleted. How can I get these pictures? Help!

    You can download some like this free data recovery software to recover deleted files.

    1 panda Recovery http://www.pandorarecovery.com

    2 recuva http://www.snapfiles.com/get/recuva.html

    If you want to try these recovery programs to recover your lost data, then you must immediately stop using your hard disk in order to not replace the data you want to retrieve.

    How does it work?

    When you delete a file on the FAT32 or NTFS file system, its content is not erased the disc, but only the reference to the data file in the file Table of Allocation or the master file Table is marked as deleted. This means that you might be able to recover files deleted, or to be visible through the file system again.

  • Video and Photo Recovery

    Hello

    It's not exactly a question about Microsoft or Windows (I hope it's OK to ask).  I recently lost all the photos and videos that were taken by Samsung Galaxy Ace and were stored on a micro SD card (I think).  They were probably deleted by accident, but I don't know how.  I searched on the internet.  Some have asked for a payment of $ 40 for the recovery but it can't find photos videos (it showed thumbnails of the files it finds).  A free program said it applies only to the device rooted, but I don't know what 'rooted device' means.
    Any suggestion, please?

  • videos photo recovery

    Hello

    I use 6 Plus, 64 GB iPhone. (iOS9.3.3)

    Yesterday I took a lot of photos and videos to an event. I cut all the pictures and videos I took of this event, directly from my iPhone without any backup.

    Unfortunately, 90% of the videos and photos has corrupted after I cut out the my phone into my laptop...

    Is there anything that I can retrieve back the corrupt videos and photos please?

    Thank you

    Sam

    Please explain exactly what you mean by

    I cut all the pictures and videos I took of this event, directly from my iPhone,

    And of course not having a backup is not recommended - unless you always have good backups you are always going to lose things

    without any backup

    So to help, we need to know exactly what you did and what you have - what makes exactly something that the pictures and videos are corrupt?

  • Windows - Photo recovery Photo Gallery

    I lost a hard drive on a second computer which contained photos of a recent trip. I had, the previous week, saw the pictures on the local network and they are in the Windows as part of my FILES, a thumbnail view or link photo gallery. When I try to view, save, or copy, Gallery informs me "it can not be opened because it could have been deleted or its location is not available.

    Anyone can instruct me on how to get/retrieve a copy of the photo of the Windows Photo Gallery? Even a bad photo is better than nothing and with the wrong disc is what I currently have.

    Thanks for the quick response. I expect that not to do.

    Once again thank you,

  • BlackBerry Smartphones deleted photo recovery

    I was clear a white Peak turned my phone off and this massive deletion started of my photos in my Album in August. Don't know what caused it. Is it possible to recover these photos? More than 200 photos have been deleted.

    If photos have been saved in the memory of your media on the device, I don't know if ZAR to extract this suppressed memory space. Try it and see.

  • "Remove item after importation" of Photos is activate but failed to import! Both devices (iPhone and Macbook) have no pictures!

    However, the process fails, and both devices have no pictures I selected.

    How could I come back all these pictures?

  • Photos disappeared with the backup

    Please help me! I took some pictures yesterday but I quickly ran out of space on my phone, so I have deleted many apps, so I could continue to take them. Later, when I got home, I made a backup to iCloud and then deleted all of my iPhone so I could restore it and win some space. But when I restored it the phone almost all of my pictures were gone, it doesn't show until May 18.

    I had most of the photos on my selection but I didn't download anything to her after June 16. The only really important stuff was yesterday and the day before.

    All photo recovery software are paid and very expensive, so I won't use it. I consulted the backup folder on my iPhone via my computer and changed all .jpeg files, but all the photos are mixed and I don't think that those of yesterday is there either. Strange thing is: there are photos of like three days ago and since today, BUT THE TWO DAYS THAT QUESTION AREN'T THERE.

    Please please please help me I don't know what to do. And just to let you know, if you're curious, or while the pictures were as cute selfies or an evening with friends, know that it was pictures of the arrival of the Portuguese team after Euro 2016, we won! Proud to be Portuguese, but I kind of want that my pictures back :/

    PS Sorry if you are french, but I'm #teamgrizi completely (except when he is playing against my team..)

    P.P.S. don't be not average, and if I did something wrong sorry but please help or get out.

  • How to recover photos after restoring from backup

    Is it possible to restore photos a iphone 5 after accidentally from 2014 with no new data backup since then? Why I have not saved for awhile it is because it takes a lot of space on my computer mac laptop (I don't have much space to begin with, only 12 GB at max and now only 1 GB after the restoration, icloud will have only 5 GB of available so I'm not sure.

    I accidentally deleted my entire folder of images on mac and thought that backup restore iphone on computer he would bring back (I thought that all the pictures in this folder have been for the iphone, it turns out that they were not) and not backing up my iphone.

    Are there any photo recovery apps phone which are legit and not a scam?

    iPhone Backup Extractor is something that people spoke - the have not used personally, but she needs a viable phone backup to extract-if you destroyed your backup - so I'm afraid that your images are lost

    It may be interesting to invest in an external hard drive or use a site like Carbonite back up in the future
