Can I recover photos on iPhone 4S not backed up on iCloud or computer when connect to iTunes error shows up on screen. Was trying to update now it must go to restore.HELP!

Can I recover photos on iPhone 4S not backed up on iCloud or computer when connect to iTunes error shows up on screen? My son was trying to update now it must go to restore. HELP!

If there is no backup of the device to iCloud or iTunes and the device has gone into recovery mode when trying to update, then the data is gone. If the device was connected to iTunes to do the update originally, it is possible the default backup was done, unless your son disabled it. To check to see if there is a backup, go in iTunes, click on Edit, Preferences, Devices and see if there is a backup listed for the date/time before the update was started. If he was doing the update OTA on the phone, then there is no backup. No backup, no photos.

    My iphone is not backing up to icloud even though on itunes i have set it to back up to icloud. whenever i do a cable connection between my iphone and mac at the end of the exercise it indicates the last time the iphone was backed up i.e. "last back: 9.08a.m. but on the iphone itself it says it hasn't been backed up since March and on icloud there hasn't been any back up because the latest additions to the iphone are not there.
    Periodically i get this message "This iphone has not been backed up ... weeks" I have followed through with all the steps and still no joy. I did however notice that my icloud email account on the iphone is different to the one i have on the computer. It would apear that I am using the two interchanagably but i have been trying to correct this so that i"ll use the same one right through.
    Might this be the problem and how can i resolve it? Pls help

    If this is your first time backing up your phone then yeah it might take several hours. It's definitely something you want to do before you head to bed. So try that but also make sure that your contents that are to be backed up are less than 5GB since iCloud only has 5GB of space. Usually photos are what would take up the most space so check how many photos in terms of GB you have by going into settings->general->usage then look at photos and camera.
    Hope this works!

  • My iPhone has not backed up to iCloud in 44 weeks

    My iPhone has not backed up to iCloud in 44 weeks. But yet, when I went to iCloud.com all my new contacts were updated, but I noticed my PhotoStream did not appear on the Home screen. When I try to update on my iPhone it says the next backup is too large (I only have my contacts and photos saved to iCloud). I have about 500 photos, and I know people with over 1,000 photos whose phones get backed up with the free 5GB just like me. Can anyone tell me what is wrong and how I can fix this problem so I can backup my photos?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    My iPhone has not backed up to iCloud in 44 weeks.
    This seems to be because you don't have enough room, have you been to settings > iCloud > Storage & Back Up > Manage.... and looked up what is taking up the room and how big your next back would be.
    I noticed my PhotoStream did not appear on the Home screen
    Photo Stream isn't one of the features of iCloud.com

  • How to retrieve deleted pics from iphone 4 not backed up in icloud or i tunes?

    How do I retrieve deleted pics from iphone 4 not backed up on icloud or itunes?

    You don't.
    Turn on PhotoStream in iCloud.
    Settings>iCloud>PhotoStream
    PhotoStream will store 1000 of your most recent photos and synch with iPhoto on your Mac.

    Is anyone having a problem with iPhone 5 not backing up to iCloud. No problem at first now it says it will take 35 hrs, etc to back up.

    Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
    Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
    Thanks again!

  • TS3992 My iphone will not back up with iCloud. it keeps popping up a push notification telling me that i do not have enough storage available for the back up. but in my settings and storage it tells me i have 2.8 GB of 5 GB free space, help!?

    My iphone 4s will not back up with iCloud. it tells me i dont have enough iCloud storage available, that i can manage my storage in my settings, when i click the settings it tells me i have 2.8 GB free space out of 5 GB. i dont know what to do about this problem. it hasnt been backed up in 3 weeks. and if i still have icloud space avaliable on my phone i do not need to purchase more. i have very few aps backed up on my icloud. i do not understand this help me please

    Go to Settings>General>Usage and see how much space is available on your phone (listed at the very top).  The pop-up might be telling you that you don't have enough space on your phone to perform the backup, not that you don't have enough space in your iCloud acount to store the backup.

  • IPhone 3GS not backing up to iCloud

    My iPhone 3GS has been updated to IOS5 but will not back up to iCloud. It keeps telling me to shut off airplane mode or connect to wifi to start the backup. I turn off airplane mode, and I've tried to connect to wifi, but it uses the 3G instead. I shut off the 3G and it still does not connect to wifi and continues on the 3 G network. it refuses to back up and has never been able to back up. Anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it?

    If you get the message "Backup not successful",  I had the same problem.
    My solution was to turn off some apps (Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap my device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options) and try a manual backup.  If it didn't work, turn off a few more apps and try a backup.  Keep doing that until the backup works.  Then try adding in some of the last batch of apps that were previously turned off - the objective is to find the app that causes the backup to fail.  For me, I suspect that the one app I found had a bad data file that, when included in the backup, caused the backup to quit.
    This can be a long process if you have a lot of apps that you originally turned on for backups.

  • My ipod touch will not come on. I originally thought it needed to be charged but.it has charged and nothing is happing. When connected to itunes its showing up as iphone.

    my ipod will not turn on and when connected to itunes to try to restore it shows up as a iphone. totally puzzled

    Try:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    If not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Only way is to bring it to the Apple Store and use the warranty if it hasn't expired

  • HT4859 My iPhone does not back up with iCloud.

    Hi, my iPhone just does not back up with iClouds, even trying manually. Don't know why, tried everithing, it just start the proces and says: "calculating remining time" and stays there forever. Anyone know something about?
    I even upgraded the iCloud back up space (was close to the five gb)
    Even-thought my iPad works perfectly with iCloud using the same account. 
    Thanks!

    Go to Settings>General>Usage and see how much space is available on your phone (listed at the very top).  The pop-up might be telling you that you don't have enough space on your phone to perform the backup, not that you don't have enough space in your iCloud acount to store the backup.

  • Can you recover photos on iPhone 4?

    I took photos on my new iPhone 4 before syncing it with my computer and after I plugged it into the computer for the first time it deleted all my photos! Is there a way to recover those?

    This didn't occur by just connecting your new iPhone to your computer. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not included with the iTunes sync process regardless.
    Sounds like you were syncing another iPhone with iTunes on your computer. When connecting a new iPhone to iTunes used to sync with another iPhone, you are provided two options. Transfer the backup for the other iPhone to the new iPhone, or set up the iPhone as a new iPhone. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are included with the iPhone's backup. Since you chose the former transferring the backup for the previous iPhone, the Camera Roll on your new iPhone was replaced with the Camera Roll for the previous iPhone. Had you chose the latter or imported these photos with your computer as designed and intended and as with any other digital camera, the photos would not be lost.
    Those photos are gone with no way to recover unless you take your iPhone to a data recovery service which won't be cheap and with no guarantee the photos can be recovered.

  • "Over capacity": How can I delete photos from iPhone / set the maximum capacity of iCloud photos to be downloaded to iPhone?

    Hi,
    My iPhone regularily goes over capacity because it stores, or tries to store, too many photos/videos from iCloud on the device.
    How can I delete photos from the iPhone (but not generally from iCloud/Photostream). How can set the maximum capacity of iCloud photos to be downloaded to iPhone? (I am searching for a setting like "keep the last 2GB of photos/videos from iCloud/Photostream, but not more than that. I know how to turn iCloud off in total, but that is not what I would prefer to do, I just would like to set reasonable maximum.)
    Thank you for your ideas!
    Generally, I someone could point me to a good tutorial on how local photos vs. iCloud photos vs. Photostream are supposed to work that would be great as well, because I have many other problem with Apple's system in that regard as well (esp., despite that obviously a lot of space is taken up by photos/videos on my device, my iPhone still downloads recent photos/videos over 3G... I also have the problem that all photos appear double if I try to copy to my Mac with ImageCapture or iPhoto, but there is only a single copy (no HDR, burst or the like) when seen with the Photos.app of the iPhone itself... I came to believe that Apple's photo system is somewhere between counterintuitive and plainly not working... (/rant off) )

    Sorry there are no settings to set max capacity.
