How do i recover deleted photos from my macbook pro with no back up?
The first time you go to retrieve a photo you previously deleted in the Photos app for OS X, you might rightly wonder where the Trash folder went. In iPhoto, deleted photos were kept in the Trash folder, which you could access from the sidebar.
In Photos, no such animal exists. Even if you show the sidebar in the Photos app, you won't see a Trash folder listed. So, where does one turn to recover a deleted photo?
It's simple, if you know where to look. Go to File > Show Recently Deleted. You will see all of your deleted photos, with the number of days remaining before each is permanently deleted. It's similar to the Recently Deleted album in the Photos app for iOS, but the Mac app features no such album on the Albums view.
if you delete a pic from iphoto, it falls into your macs trash bin. Then if you delete it from this ( "main" ) trash bin, it's still on your hard disk, but is now allowed to be "overwritten" by the computer. This is why if you want to "bring back" that pic, it has to be done very shortly after that last delete. A few hours of work on the computer, and the file will have been, at least partly, overwritten, and the best of "retrieving softwares" won't bring it back. This is why without backup you can still recover deleted photos" is a horrendous concept: it can work in very, very limited cases, and in a very, very limited time frame !If you value your pictures, take the appropriate time to get info on how to properly "back them up" !
First:
I think your photo's are copied but iPhoto was still updating it's database.
So you would first assure that your photo's are safe by checking the photo's in the iphoto library:
-Go to Finder
-Go to Pictures
-Locate the iPhoto-Library
-With right-click, click on "show packetcontents"
-You are now in your iPhoto library, be carefull!
-Locate the folder "Masters"
-Chose the wright date
-Locate your photo's and copy them to a safe location
-If you can't find them, I think you are not lucky.
Second:
Did you ever back-up to iCloud thru iTunes? If so, you can restore from iCloud.
Music and other purchases can be re-downloaded from the iTunes Store Purchases in Quicklinks.
Photos can be sync'd from iCloud Phto Stream but this will only be recent photos orginally sync'd with Photo Stream not necessarily your entire historical archive.
The photos you upload to Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them.
