Having problems with your photos on Facebook? You’re not alone. It seems that some users are reporting their images are randomly disappearing in their Facebook albums. Old images, newly uploaded images both seem to be affected. Upon uploading and tagging a new image, saving it and then, “Hey where’d my picture go!?”
The odd part about the missing images isn’t just that the images are missing, but rather the image is missing and all associated meta-data is still intact. The photo is still tagged, your captions are there, but the photo is missing. Is Facebook having issues with their backend? I have reached out to some Facebook staffers to get the scoop on the issue, but I havnt gotten any concrete answers yet. If you are plagued by the same problems, let us know in the comments.
I have faced the same thing.
The photos for our business page, Blue Buddha Boutique, disappeared for several weeks. We re-uploaded some of them. The other ones magically reappeared again one day. No clue why. And now, some of our comments are disappearing….
mine disappeared for one night and were back this morning…i am also having bugs with videos on fb…..
4/3/09, five photo albums disappeared. Comments and other info on the photos are still there. What’s up?
Need some help with missing photo albums.
I am having this problem as of today with some 30 images or so that are gone & yes, the data is still intact. It seems also very selective: some folders are wiped out while others are a missing just a few. While trying to reorganize the images, they briefly reappeared, I tried then to move them to a different folder, but then they were gone altogether for good. Also, my profile image, although still visible is gone from the images profile folder. I am wondering if someone might have flagged my images as a prank & if that would affect anything..
I’m also having these problems 3 albums affected with half the photos ‘missing’. No joy from facebook
Yes. How do I find out what to do about this?
3 of my photo albums just went missing including my profile pics…still labeled, tagged, and comments are still there…. So bizaaar.
Last night I created a new album and uploaded 33 photos. All worked fine last night and then this morning those photos were gone, yet the album and data was intact. Also, one of my old albums is now also missing its photos. Since this is apparently becoming increasingly common, why is there no response or comment anywhere from Facebook?
same happened to me, but i figured out how to fix it. see my comment below
Same problem exactly :( missing photos but comments still there
Exactly the same problem, ohww
Same problem here. Very random.
Yes, I am missing several albums. Would be so nice to have them back.
All the pictures in one of my albums is missing and the metadata is still there.
see my comment below for a possible solution!
Two very important albums seem to be there still, but cant see any of the photos :( plus cant upload any new :( wtf is happening?!?! :(
I have lost many photos but the caption is still intact. they are pics of my youngest who only has 3-6 months to live. I went back and saved the mobile uploads that still show up just to be safe
Yes, wall photos and albums disappeared, have never come back, comments and captions still there.
One of my albums have gone too. Bag o’ shite

I have had the same issue and it’s getting worse day by day!! Facebook doesn’t seem to give a care of do anything about it!!!

Yes, one of my profile pictures is missing that was there for a while??
3 albums disappeared today. Metadat still there. Hope they’re back tomorrow.
if your facebook photos disappear,try this-click on tools,click on options,click on content,click on load images auto,click on exceptions button- see facebook listed – note if there is a BLOCK . if there is, change the BLOCK to ALLOW- i tired this method and got ALL my photos back!!!!!

It may be a Firefox issue. I have pictures missing when using Firefox that appear in Internet Explorer. Check out this Mozilla link. It did not help me particularly, but it might help others:
