"Trying to recover deleted photos: How do I recover deleted photos"

Troubleshooting Deleted Photos:

Loss of data is something you would have agreed to upon opening an Apple Account. So, if the following does not work, then they are gone. That's just the way is is.

Four Tactics to Try:

A. Start here: If you're Missing Photos or Videos in the Photos app - Apple Support

B. Check iCloud Directly:

See if they reside in iCloud Photos. Log in here: https://www.icloud.com/photos

C. Use a Time Machine Backup:

Did you backup your Mac, recently? If so, then restore your Mac from that. You'd backup you Mac prior to doing so, and then restore your data from the backup you just created, through use of Migration Assistant.

D. Where Else to Check:

• PC
• PDA
• eMail
• Mac Device
• Cloud Storage
• Android Phone
• USB Flash Drive
• External Hard drive
• Secure Digital Card
• Compact Flash Card

If you use iCloud photos and they are not in the recently deleted folder, then are gone permanently. Unless you made a separate independent backup somewhere like your laptop?

Photos that you delete are recoverable from the recently deleted folder for up to30 days (or earlier if you empty recently deleted manually before 30 days), after which they cannot be recovered.
