IOS7 missing contacts and deleting photos?

Hi All,
After a quick search, it seems I'm not the only one whose contacts have mysteriously gone missing since upgrading to iOS7.
Turns out the iCloud had mysteriously turned itself off and I ended up having to restore from the last iCloud backup.
I haven't changed ANY settings since updating apart from chosing a less annoying text tone and turning off control centre on lock screen. Tried to send a photo via iMessage and it seems that my camera roll is empty and all my albums have didsappeared!! D:
Somehow Camera Roll was turned off on iCloud back up?
Anyone have any suggestion as to how I can get these back?
Short of restoring from back-up - but my last iTunes back up has no contacts thanks to the iCloud being off last time i plugged it in creating an automatic back up...
Considering cancelling my order for 5s if this is going to happen next time a new iOS comes out....

Well i got the contacts back by going thru one of the posts but its unclear as to why this happened. Is it some sort of bug in the ios ??? Also Mystream photos are not yet back

    Looks like you restored your backup file to her phone. If you didn't back up your wife's phone first, then the data is gone, sorry.

    How do I Add groups to my contacts and delete a contact once it's in the group

    Hello mstern613
    The way the organization works is that it will have an all contacts and then your grouped contacts. You would not be able to just have the grouped contacts with out it being in all contacts. You can organize them on your iPhone by following the steps in the iPhone User Guide.

    What does "I caught my phone 4" mean?
    All contacts, calendars, photos etc should be on your computer as the iphone is designed to be synced to your computer.
    Just sync them to your new iphone.

  • How to sync iPhone photos with iPad and Mac without duplicates and deleted photos?

    I have a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.8.5, iPhoto 9.4.3), an iPad2 (ios 6.1.3) and iPhone (ios 7.0.4).  I take my pictures on the iPhone and use the iPad for viewing.  I use the MBP for storage and backup.  ios 7 seems to organize the photos nicely, so I no longer need iPhoto for organizing.
    What is the best, easiest and most efficient way to share, save and backup photos (iCloud prefered versus plugging devices into the MBP) between the 3 devices without duplicates and deleted photos?  With Photo Streaming turned on, I get duplicates and it retains photos that I have deleted.
    On all three devices, I turned on Photos & Camera > My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams and iCloud > Photo Stream.
    On the MBP, I have everything under Photo Stream EXCEPT Automatic Import (I took off recently hoping to eliminate duplicates).
    If someone else already asked this question, I apologize.  This is very confusing.

    While waiting for a reply, you can read the documentation that was in the box your iPad came in.  It's a book about a Spanish guy called Manual.
    The answer is iTunes.  Download it.  Install it.  Read the instructions.  Use it.

  • With recent calls , is it possible to save certain calls without saving them to contacts and delete the ones i dont want?

    My question is ,
    with the recent calls is the a way to save certain calls without saving them as contacts, and delete the others that i dont need?    I am a truck driver and i  need only certain calls during the day and if i could delete only the ones that arent needed for the day and keep the others that would make the day run smoother.  Each is different and when the day is finished then i would delete the ones i needed for the day and start all over again.   Is this possible?

    I think you would have to reinstall the keys seeing that if you format the computer all the data is gone. Even though you backed up that data you never know what can happen when you try to reinstall certain apps. Not sure what method you can go by, you should run a diagnostics test to see how you computer is doing internally.
    Goodluck

    I have exactly the same problem on my ipad. It is happening on only some contacts but, as with you, when I delete one of the contacts on the ipad, the second ipad contact and the contact on the imac are also deleted. This is even the case when I have differentiated the two contacts on the ipad and can see the one I have deleted on the ipad is not the same one as is then deleted on the imac.

  • In Photos - how do I identify and delete photos only on my iphone after upgrading to photos?

    Upgraded to photos yesterday.  Connected iphone to mac.  IPhone in the sidebar shows 342 photos "already imported".  I would like to delete those photos on my iphone (as they are already in photos) but cannot see how to do so on either my mac or phone.  
    Secondary Q - What does the "open Photos for this device" checkbox do? 
    Thank you. 

    I don't see an easy way to delete previously imported items, but these step worked for me. Be careful to make sure you do have copies of all these photos before you decide to delete them again!
    1. Check the 'Delete items after import'.
    2. REIMPORT all the 'Already imported' items.
    3. Open the 'Last Import' album, and delete all those photos.
    For your Secondary question, when the "Open Photos for this device" box is checked, that means when you plug in that iPhone, the Photos app will open up automatically.

  • Time machine back up and deleting photos from macbook pro

    I have a macbook pro. I need to free some space on my hard drive. As I am a keen photographer I decided it was best to have at lest to back up in the event than one fails. I keep one off site at a friends. This way if the unthinkble happens.. fire, flood theft etc I do not lose all my images. To do this I require 2 hard drives. Having purchased the second I thought it would make sense to actually do a Time Machine back up as previous back ups were only of photos.
    A few seaches of different forums appeared to say that you cannot delete photos from your Mac as this will be just Mirrored on your next Timemachine back up. This makes sense as it is copying the Mac so anything not on there will not be on the Time Machine back up.
    SOLUTION : On your hard drive of the time machine back up create an addition folder or folders and using finder drag and drop from your macbook. This way it will not effect your Time Machine. You can replicate with the other hard drive. Having backed up away from the Time Machine will mean the photos do not get deleted by Time Machine after you have removed them from your Mac.
    I hope this makes sense! It is the first time I have posted :-)
    I would like to know if others have other solutions or use this method. I should say that the hard drive I use for the Time Machine if Mac formatted. It is a 2 TB WD My Book Studio. I purchased from the Apple store. It is not an apple product but is mac of the sleek aluminum and goes well with it. Having said that I keep it at a mates house!

    There are several concepts that may help you create a defense-in-depth approach to securing your valuable data.
    - Your data is much more valuable than external disk drives.  Do not hesitate to purchase the size and number of external drives you need for great (not just good) backup practices.
    - Always maintain at least two copies of any data.  This means never place live (offloaded) files on a backup volume, even in a separate partition.  If the drive fails the backup and the live files will go poof together. 
    - Do not rely on retrieving live files from a Time Machine backup.  Time Machine is for restoring files that were deleted or altered by mistake or for a full restore.  It is not for offloading live files.
    - Place the offloaded live files on a separate disk drive.  Then you will need to backup that live volume or if that offload volume fails then poof again.
    - You already some of this base covered.  Maintaing two copies (one backup) is good practice.  Maintaining more than two copies (two or more backups) is a better practice.  Maintaining multiple copies in multiple backup formats is a great practice.  Time Machine is great for restoring accidentally deleted or altered data but it is a complex system that is more prone to failure than simpler schemes such as cloning.  I recommend maintaining both Time Machine and cloned backups of the internal drive and cloned backups of offload drive.
    Backing up the offload disk is where partitioning the backup drive can be handy.  Create one partition for your Time Machine backup and another partition for your external drive backup.  Backup your internal drive with Time Machine and backup the offloaded files using cloning software such as Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!
    You could tell Time Machine to backup both your internal and external live files but then it gets tricky to do a full restore so I recommend using cloning software for backing up the external drive.
    When you purchase another external drive, make it a sufficiently large one so you can divide it into multiple large partitions.
    A good backup/offload map (two partitions per backup drive):
    - Internal drive —> Time Machine backup partition A on the backup drives.
    - External offload drive —> Clone backup partition B on the backup drives.
    - Backup drives 1 and  2 (one onsite and one offsite), each with partitions A and B.
    A great backup scheme includes three partitions on the large backup drives so you can backup the the internal drive with both Time Machine and CCC/SD:
    - Internal drive —> Time Machine backup partition A on the backup drives.
    - External offload drive —> Clone backup partition B on the backup drives.
    - Internal drive —> Clone backup to partition C on the backup drives.
    - Backup drives 1 and  2 (one onsite and one offsite), each with partitions A, B and C.
    A great feature of having a clone of your internal drive is if the internal drive crashes you can boot off of the backup disk while you replace the internal drive.  As mentioned above it also avoids Time Machine backup/restore problems.  I have had Time Machine full restores fail so I do not trust them as my only backup method but I find them very handy for restoring individual files.
    Create partitions sufficiently large enough for each backup source.  Time Machine should be about 50% or more larger than the volume it is backing up to leave room for the older incremental backups.  The cloned backup partitions need only be as large as the volumes they are backing up, or larger if you include incremental backups in your cloning scheme.  This means you may need 2 or 3 TB backup drives.  (4 TB drives are not yet reliable so avoid them.)

  • How can I edit and delete photos from my albums? I can't find a way to delete old photos...

    Can anyone help me delete photos? There are old blurry and duplicate photos that we are unable to delete...

    If photos were synced from your computer then they can't be deleted directly on the iPad, you will need to remove/de-select them from where you synced it from on your computer and re-sync.
