HT4236 I tried to synch to iTunes and it deleted the photos on my phone instead. Is there any way to retrieve them?
I recently lost all of my files do to a hard drive crash. The backup service (which I will never use again) didn't back all of my photos up, but I had them on my phone. I hooked the phone up and it automatically went into some sort of synch mode, but instead of putting the photos onto iTunes, it deleted all of the photos from my phone! Now they are synched with the smaller set, and I've lost precious photos! I'm so upset!! Is there anything I can do or is it lost.
I have some on my iTunes but I'm afraid to synch and loose those as well. can someone help me?
I'm on iPhone 4
iTunes 10.7
thank you
Quit the photos app
Double tap home button, hold icon til it wiggles the tap the red dot

I was trying to Import photos to my computer and was asked to upgrade my Iphone before importing. In restoring my Iphone, it deleted all of my 200 new photos and they are now gone. Is there any way to retrieve them?
You should ALWAYS import all pics ( and anything selse for that matter) before any update.
If you failed to do this, then the pics are likely gone. You can try restoring from backup. -
A very good friend of mine dropped her iphone into water and now it is not working.Her husband recently passed away and text messages from him and from well wishers after his decease are feared lost. Is there any way to retrieve them?
I suggested contacting Compub in Nassau St as the info is priceless and worth the trouble of trying to regain?
Any thoughts? The poor lady is very distressIf she has backed up her iPhone she can replace that iPhone and set up the new iPhone from her backup.
You can put the iPhone that went into water into a plastic baggie with either new silica gel packets (preferred) or raw rice and let it sit for 4 - 5 days. After that time remove the phone and connect it to power for at least a half hour. While it is still connected to power reset it by holding down the power and hold button, wait for the Apple logo then let go of the buttons. Might take several tries. If it revives immediately back it up. -
My old computer crashed and I had several redeemed movies on it. Is there any way to get them on to my new computer?
Unless you have a backup copy or can use the drive from the old computer in an external enclosure, no.

if you wanna get back your pictures and notes restore your friend iphone on your pc but make sure that your friend had the same name of your iphone and the same verison of the old sofware before you update , after that all your contact and note and everything are on your friend iphone , you can copy them in a way or another , I did this with my sister iphone , no matter what is the two iphone's generation the sofware verison is the trick xxx
and for the contacts you can locate the contact folder at your pc , and copy them into your device one way or another xxx -

I lost most of my pictures by typing in my password wrong after plug in. Is there any way to get them back?
When you say you were "trying to run your computer in admin mode," what exactly does that mean? What did you do? Details here are critical. It's possible you are just logged into the wrong account, or something simple like that, and your files are all still there. On the other hand, it's possible they're all gone... in which case, what kind of backups do you have?

Please Help!! When I updated my Ipad2 it wiped out all of my calendar entries. Is there a way to retrieve them? I have looked in Icloud and itunes and am not finding the calendar there, as it comes on the ipad and is not an app.
Were you syncing calendar events over the air with your iCloud account or syncing calendar events direct with a supported calendar app on your computer via the iTunes sync process?
If your planner is your life, not a good idea to depend on one device for your calendar events. They should be available on your computer as well along with the data included with your computer's backup. -
Photos were deleted from my camera roll and not backed up. Is there any way to retrieve them??
Photos were deleted from my camera roll and I hadn't backed them up anywhere. Is there any way of getting them back??
If they were on the iphone at last sync, then you may be able to restore from backup and get them back.
Otherwise, they are gone. -
I just "successfully imported" over 300 vacation photos. It asked me if I wanted to delete them from my camera and I said yes. I've done this hundreds of times over the past several years. Afterwards, I got sidetracked looking in another photo event and then did something on my phone (unrelated) when I noticed my screen went black. I figured I needed to charge my laptop, so I got the cord and plugged it in. After restarting, I went back into iPhoto and under my events there is a thumbnail for each day from vacation, but a generic black and white picture of a palm tree and no pictures in any of the events. My last import is of the pictures I loaded before this batch. I've looked everywhere and can't find them! This has never happened before! Is there any way to find the photos and restore them to iPhoto?
Thank you so much if you can help!!!a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card -- I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos
You Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database

I updated the version on my Iphone and didn't sync before ans as a result I lost all my photos, apps, and contacts. I will like to recover the deleted photos as they are very important to me, it's there a way to recover them?
did you ever do a backup. cause if you did say like a year ago. it should still be there and you could at least get the info back until that date.

While uploading my family Christmas photos, my computer went completely blank. When it started back up again, I had a message that iPhoto had been damaged and needed to be corrected. So I let it restore and it took several minutes. Then I had a message that it could not find any photos or data and it restart the computer. If that didn't work it said to push "option and command" buttons while starting iPhoto. Nothing worked.
It appears as though I have lost thousands and thousands of pictures including all vacations, last moment s with my father, kids entire childhoods. The photos are invaluable. I understand that they are on the hard drive. I have had to restore everything from the hard drive once when my laptop was stolen and I lost about a third of the photos because they came back damaged. I hope this is not the only solution to the problem.
Does anyone know how to restore iPhoto or retieve my photos? What happened? I am guessing iPhoto is not a reliable place to keep my pictures anymore.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
ADo you have a back up?
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

hello...i updated my 3gs and didnt back up my songs and apps...is there any way to retrieve them?
Itunes content is not included in the backup that itunes makes when syncing.
You should always make sure that you have transferred all of your purchased itunes content to your computer before any update.
If you failed to do this, then you can redownload as expalined in the previous post.
