Though still under service, it is mainly for artists to share music today. In the past Myspace age, you may have uploaded lots of valuable photos to Myspace, but due to the Myspace migration error back in 2019, millions of files were lost. If this is the reason why your Myspace photos not loading, or you are looking for a way to gain access to your old Myspace photos this day, we are going to discuss here.

Part 1. Why won't my (old) Myspace photos load?

While it has a reason why Myspace was overtaken by Facebook and other social networking platforms, there are also reasons behind why Myspace photos are not loading definitely, especially those old Myspace pictures.

  • Server migration error in 2019

In 2019, MySpace tried to migrate its content to a new server, but due to a technical failure, files uploaded during 2003~2015 were permanently deleted. If your photos were uploaded before 2016 and you want to access to them now, it is not because they are not loading, but for the reason that they were wiped out by Myspace.

  • The photos were deleted

Myspace allows users connecting to a photo, uploading and sharing a picture easily, it lets users delete the photos as well. You might have deleted it by mistake.

  • You are logging into another account

Myspace is still a good place to discover music, but you possibly have switched to Facebook or other platforms for long, and your memories about the credentials to log in are fading. You may log into an account that you didn’t use often.

  • Broken links on 3rd party hosting platforms (photobucket, tinypic)

Before 2008, Myspace did not allow direct image uploads, it integrated with Photobucket for uploading and embedding the photos using HTML or links. If the original file was deleted or damaged, the links became broken and won’t allow loading on Myspace.

  • Poor performance of your device

This issue can be also caused by poor performance on your device, such as low storage resulting in slow response, app crash, image not loading. Or virus keeps hijacking your browser and interfering with the apps. Even, an unstable internet connection can also causes the issue.

And, can we fix this? 

Yes, surely.
