I lost all of my pictures and videos as a result of upgrading to IOS 5. Can I recover them?

OK, so I lost all of the pictures and videos from the camera roll on my wife's ipod touch. This occured after upgrading it to IOS 5. I did a system recover in itunes and that didnt help. I downloaded iExplorer and went through the folders; found nothing. I have a feeling that all hope is lost. I'm not tech-savvy and should have known better by backing stuff up before upgrading. Just didnt think about it, because after every other upgrade, nothing disappeared. Well, just thought I would post here in case anyone else had any other suggestions. Thanks.

If you have a Mac this may work.

I did a restore from backup and lost all of my picture and videos from last night. Can anyone please tell me how to get them back from the cloud?

I did a restore from backup this morning. After it completed the restore I lost all of my pics and videos from Saturday. Can anyone assist in retrieving my files from iCloud? Thank you.

Have you not backed up or transferred your movies to your computer at any point before you dropped your old iPad?
If the only copy of these movies was on the old iPad, and that iPad is now gone, then so are the movies that were on it.

I erased everything on my iphone and lost all my contacts pictures and everything how do i get all that back from my itunes account??

I erased everything on my iphone and lost all my contacts pictures and everything else how do i get the contacts and pictures back from my itunes account?? ive tried restore its like it gave me a whole new iphone thing.

If you plug in the iPhone to your computer, any contacts ect that you synced with your computer with sync back with the iPhone when it is selected in the iTunes menu under info. Anything that was added without syncing was lost, I'm sorry. A good future solution is to get iOS 5 when it comes out this fall, so you don't need to manually sync contacts, its automatic!

I lost all of my photos and videos after download of iOS 5? how do I get them back?

So I updated to OS 5 last night an low and behold I lost all of my photos and videos? how do I get them back, I did do my download on my mac book pro. I would have thought that all of that stuff would have transferred automatic during the download of 5, but I guess that would make too much sense? So how do I get that stuff back?

I did the same thing last night also with my MacBook Pro. None of my music, video or photos not taken originally on my iphone were reloaded back onto my phone. I received an error message instead. I had to just re-drag the music and videos that I wanted back to my iphone. As far as my photos taken on my iphone...by chance, I had just backed those up earlier that day. I'm not sure where the photos are that I had put on my iphone in the beginning...they still show up in people's contacts, but they no longer show up under photos - ? This is very frustrating!

I accidentally reset my iPod and lost all of my pics and videos. Any ideas how to get them back?

I accidentally reset my iPod and lost all of my pics and videos. Does anyone know how to restore them?

All you can do is restore from backup if yu have one. If you backed up to iTunes make sure that autosyncing is turned off. Otherwise when you connect the iPod to the computer the backup with you data might be overwritten. To turn off go to iTunes>Preferences>Devicesand check the box that says "Prevent iPods...".

What did you update with what? Are we talking a computer? A device like an iPhone? You updated iTunes? You updated the operating system?
If you updated the iOS on a device, I believe it warns you it will erase the device and you should make a backup first. Restore from the backup.
iPhoto is an application pretty much separate from iTunes. There is an iPhoto forum if you are having problems with that application.

How to transfer or sync content to your computer

HT1386 I have a new computer and when I tried to sync my iPod Touch with the new iTunes, it has lost all of my music and videos from my iPod/old iTunes library: including all but 4 songs of my bought songs, videos and audeobooks!

I have recently updated my computer since my old one broke and therefore had to download a new iTunes. When I came to add my iPod to this new iTunes, I was given no option to transfer the contents of my iPod library to this new iTunes and was forced to try 'sync'; when my old computer was repaired once we lost all of our data so I had to download a new iTunes then,all of my iPod downloads were transferred and I could easily reburn my CDs so I didn't think the wiping of my iPod would be a problem. When I clicked 'sync' it warned me that it would replace the contents of my iPod with the new iTunes library, as I said I didn't think this would be a problembut then it asked if it should transfer my recent iTunes downloads so I said 'yes'. The sync was completed but now I only have 4 downloaded songs and 5 albums which I burned to my new iTunes! I have lost all the music I bought, all the videos I bought and all the audiobooks I bought! (Luckily I still have my apps.) I tried to restore backup but realised that only covers calendars, contacts E.T.C and I checked my iTunes account and that shows all my downloads but I can't see a way to restore them or anything like that!
Please help! I am in despair as you can imagine how much moneys worth I have lost and am losing faith in Apple

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

I accidentally restored my iPhone 5 and lost all of my pictures and contacts. How can I get those back? My computer saved the .apalbum and .apmaster files, but I cannot seem to open them.

Hi!
I was trying to sync my music from my Macbook to my iPhone 5 and accidentally restored the phone to some previous version that I had. In the process, I managed to lose all of my pictures, contacts, text messages, etc. I need some of that back. My computer seems to have the .ap files, but I cannot open them. Is there any way to get my pictures back at the very least?
Thanks

The last backup I have is not recent enough to get my pictures back. Is there a way to get the pictures without using backup or iCloud?

I recently lost all of my pictures, and now Iphoto will not loading spinning wheel?

I recently accidently erased over 7,000 pictures from Iphoto when I securely deleted them by accident and could not recover them. Now i'm starting from scratch by inserting my sim cards from my cameras to get the photos back, but everytime I click on Iphoto it doesn't load anything just black screen with spinning wheel, i understand i won't have any albums considering all the pictures are gone. I tried tie option command while opening and it didn't work. Do I have to redownload Iphoto totally? If i do can you explain each step in detail? Thank you so much in advance

Create a new Library. The only one was damaged by the mass deletions.
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'

I lost all my profile pictures on Facebook when I sign in using Firefox...can you help?

It's all in my question. If I sign in using Internet Explorer then all my profile pictures on facebook are there.

#Be sure ''Tools > Options > Content'', "Load images automatically" is checked to display all images for all sites.

Updated my iPhone and lost all of my pictures and contacts how do I retrieve them

Updated my iPhone and lost contacts and picture. How do I retrieve them ?

Hi NicoleTosi,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone is not syncing after upgrading, you may want to try setting up syncing in iTunes again by following the steps in the article below. If you're syncing music, try un-checking and then re-checking the "Sync music" checkbox in iTunes.

Lost all my bookmarks, pictures and everything stored on my firefox

Opened up and logged on and Everything was gone...tried all the resets and nothing. ..help...

These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox

FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your

It will also make backup of files that you choose.
