Dear WAMUG,

Just hit a problem with iPhoto. I ran it and imported from my camera, with "delete after import" checked. I went away and came back, it appeared to have done the importing and said the camera had "no photos". I was a bit shocked when the import only showed the three oldest of the 22, and Last Import showed the same. I closed it and reopened - and even these photos had disappeared off iPhoto.

Personally I never let iPhoto delete images from the Camera. I use Image Capture (as it also imports movies, whereas iPhoto ignores them).

Thanks for any advice. Panicking,

Download PhotoRescue and see if it can recover the images from the card

If you're really paranoid then do it from a machine other than the one you ran iPhoto on. Then run DataRescue or something over the machine to see if you can recover any image files from it

Have fun,
