I just downloaded iOS8. Where did my photo stream photos go??? How can I get them back?????

If these were photos that were only in the Photostream folder of your Photos app, but not actually part of the Photostream itself, then the iCloud Photostream only holds the past 30 days of photos.
Use the iCloud Control Panel (if you're using Windows, download it here: iCloud for Windows - Apple Support), to see your actual iCloud Photostream.
Your device will hold the Photostream photos until they are removed, but you should never treat your device or the iCloud Photostream as permanent storage.  You should be importing them to your computer on a regular basis for safe keeping.

  • I updated my iPhone 5c to iOS8 and lost all my calendar events.  How can I get them back?

    I updated my IPhone 5C to iOS8 and lost all my calendar events.  How can I get them back?  I had it saved to the cloud but then changed it because I did not want to save everything to the cloud.  I changed it back and still don't have any events.

    Are they still listed on your device when you go to Settings>iCloud>Storage>Numbers?  If so, they should still be in iCloud but you may need to contact support to find out why the Numbers app isn't able to access them: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.

    Are your contacts still on your computer? If yes, set one contact up on the phone and sync it, you'll get the option to merge data.
    If there are no more contacts on the computer, see if your latest backup still has the info, if you did not sync after you lose the info, they are still part of the backup.

  • Working alternating with iPhoto and FCE tgrying to import pictures from iPhoto into FCE suddenly all my 22300 pictures disappeared leaving empty frames. Does somebody know where the pictures could have gone and how can I get them back into iPhoto? Lothar

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. .

  • HT204053 My husband went to upHdate his phone this morning and when he did he lost all his contacts how can he get them back

    My husband went to update his phone this morning and when he did he lost all his contacts how can he get them back

    Thanks, but I checked iCloud and it has none of them.
    If it backed up to my laptop, that died and I just got the new computer. The one that's crashed won't even boot, so there's no way to even tell if it was syncing the contacts along with all the phone photos. Literally happened at the same time - it was because I had the new computer that I was finally able to pull the photos off the phone and make room for the upgrade. It had refused to upgrade for lack of space for some time.
    I had thought it was set to sync to iCloud but it vanished from BOTH my phone and the cloud. That's why I'm so angry about it.

  • Why did all my pictures disappear? How can I get them back?

    Every picture in my library disappeared how can I get them back?

    That is very unfortunate and a very poor decision - with no backup you are guaranteed to lose your photos sooner or later - this might be the time - for any possible help you will have to provide details
    What version of iPhoto> Of the OS? what has recently changed? what do you think might have caused this? What exactly leads you to believe that your pictures have disappeared?
    And I strongly recommend that you purchase a hard drive about 2 to 2 1/2 times the size of our main drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and start running TimeMachine ASAP

  • I updated my phone and now all my photos are gone. How can I get them back?

    I really need to know. They Have all my memories fo rthe past 3 years.

    Well, certainly if you had 3 years of photos you have been importing them off the phone to your computer as recommended.  Just synch them back.

  • I just bought a movie and a season of childrens cartoons they are now gone off my ipad. Where are they and how can I get them back?

    I just bought a movie and a season of childrens cartoons they are now gone off my ipad. Where are they and how can I get them back?

    Did you download them direct to your IPad or to your computer. If so unless you have synced your iPad with your computer since you downloaded they are still on your Ipad unless you deleted them or if they were rentals the time ran out.
    To check on your iPad launch the iPod APP on your Ipad  if a movie listing does not show  then click on the iPad button under your library list column and it should then show your movies etc
    Or launch the Video App and look for them there
    if you have downloaded them on your computer they will show up in iTunes the cartoons i suspect will show under TV and the Movie under Movies.
    A rented item expires 30 days after you rent it or 24 hours after you begin playing it, whichever comes first. Expired rentals are deleted automatically. After you transfer a rental to your iPad etc, it is removed from your iTunes library.
    Outright puchases are obviously yours to keep.
    Hope this helps

  • Hello. I just got the iPhone 5s today and I did a restore from icloud to it but none of my apps transferred. I checked on my computer and only Facebook and candy crush show up. How can I get them back?

    Try restoring the backup again.  Your apps and other purchased media should have been restored from your backup if they were on your old phone when you backed it up.

  • I just updated my iPad to OS5 and all of my apps are gone. What did I do wrong and how can I get them back? Several were paid for. Thanks

    If you have failed to make sure that any apps purchased on the iphone were transferred to your computer before updating, then you will have to redownload.
    Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick Links.

  • So just downloaded 5.0 and it deleted all my contacts, how can I get it all back? I already tryed the "Back Up" or "Restore" and it's still blank on my iphone??

    You should have been syncing your contacts to your computer regularly.  Just sync them back ot the iphone from your computer.

    Hi megamike1969,
    I've been losing some apps also in the Dock. As Niel said I think is that you may be able to just drag them back to the Dock, if you can find them.
    What I do is open Launchpad and while you're in there, drag the application to the Dock. If you can't locate the apps, then disregard this post.

  • I'm running iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. My collection of 25,000  photos on iPhoto library is completely empty. How can I get them back?

    I'm running iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. My collection of 25,000  photos on iPhoto library is completely empty. How can I get them back?
    I dragged one photo to the My Pictures folder in Finder. I knew it was just one photo because it was the only one highlighted in yellow. When I saw it in Finder, it was labled iPhoto. I thought it was the wrong picture, so in Finder I deleted the file. When I got back to iPhoto, EVERYTHING was missing. Events, photos, recent, and even trash. At this point, I went into my Trash. I searched for iPhoto and iPhoto was there. I opened it and it was still empty. All I want to do is to get my collection of photos back!

    Best solution is to load your backup from before you did this?
    Where did you drag the photo from?
    Have you tried dragging it from the trash to the desktop?  What size is it?
    What size is your iPhoto library in the pictures folder?

  • I just upgraded my iPhone4 iOs and lost ALL Phone Contacts! How can I get them back?

    HELP! I've been using my iPhone consistently for ALL phone numbers, since I have serious memory problems due to fibromyalgia. I upgraded my phone last night finally, having moved my photos out of it I had the space to download and install the upgrade.
    I got a nasty shock this morning when I tried to make a routine call and found ALL of my phone contacts missing. They don't seem to be either in the cloud or in the phone. What happened? It said it was storing them in the cloud but they're all gone! How can I get them back?
    IF this normally happens, why should I ever upgrade? Seriously! I didn't think to copy all of it out manually before upgrading, I'd upgraded once before without any problems. Addresses and other details gone too. I've got four numbers in "Favorites" but no context for them beyond location by state. I don't even know who they are - can't recognize just the numbers.

    Thanks, but I checked iCloud and it has none of them.
