Cue music from Twilight Zone.
Here's the deal. I've had an iPad since the beginning. I have an iPhone. I've had iPod Touchs since the beginning. I have a Macbook Air.
In the past I've had digital cameras, and a variety of MacBooks and earlier PowerBooks and iBooks.
In other words, I've had many devices with which I could take digital pictures, not to mention the various scanners and digital prints on CD. In 2007, the hard drive on a new Macbook crashed and I lost all those digital images.
Fast forward. I'm scanning some old pictures for use in a family history. I also download a lot of pictures from the net to use in the really nice jigsaw app on my iPad. Needless to say, my photostream has grown huge and I realized that my newly scanned image were getting lost among the jigsaw pictures.
So I set about finding a way that I could remove unwanted pictures from my photo stream. In the finder, I located the pictures "Masters" folder and copied it to the desktop thinking I could use the finder to quickly eliminate the images I don't want.
The Masters folder contains folders by month and by day within each month. I opened folders and trashed images I don't want. There are a gazillion folders that are empty when viewed in the finder, so I trashed them too.
Then I accidentally trashed a picture I wanted to keep so I opened trash, searched for .jpg to find all the images. I started to scroll through the images to find the one I accidentally trashed and to my surprise, I found pictures from my mother's birthday in 2005!!!!
I don't have hard copies of those pictures, they would have been on the crashed hard drive. When the drive crashed, I lost everything. Those pictures should be gone forever. How in heck did they end up in the trash of my new Macbook Air? I don't have hard copies, so NO, I didn't scan them and forget about them.
And, why didn't I see them when I was looking in that Masters folder in the finder?
Is there some secret backup of iPhoto? Are my pictures floating in the ether? It's magic.
Can anyone explain?
