Photos and videos gone after ios5 update

After updating to ios 5 and doing a restore from my backup all my videos and photos that I took using the ipad are gone from my ipad. I did a full backup before starting the new update so I expected they would be there. Maybe I'm missing something.

I found this and did it myself and it worked perfectly!

Photos and camera crash after ios5 update

After updating to ios5, I can no longer access my camera roll, not take a picture. When I hit camera roll photos crashes. When I take a picture it says saving, then crashes. I have tried turning off the apps and reopening them. I have tried restarting/resetting. I have tried turning it off and letting it sit for 3 days. I tried accessing my camera roll through other apps like facebook, twitter, photoshop but it crashes. I tried to access my camera roll from iphoto and import my pictures but my iphone no longer comes up in iphoto. I feel as though that restoring it may be the only option left, but I do not want to lose my photos and there's still no guarantee that photos and camera will work after restoring. Anyone else ever hear of this before? Help!

I cannot figure out where I did wrong, honestly speaking.
Or, maybe it is because of the automatic sync function in iTunes? This time when I connected the iPhone with the computer, I was reminded to update iTunes - then I did so; by default, "Automatic sync when this iPhone is connected" is checked so the computer was syncing with the iPhone via iTunes. However I remember that there were notifications saying something like "this iPhone was synced to another iTunes library" and I needed to erase this iPhone to sync it to the new library - then I followed; if I cancel, I wouldn't have any option to sync my iPhone with my computer.
Do you think it is because this operation that iTunes gave me the previous sync data that didn't contain the latest photos/videos?
iphone are meant to be sync to only one iTunes library.
so you went ahead with the sync and it erase all your data?

How can i get my photos and videos back after backing up from my 2nd generation ipod into my 5th generation ipod? I really need those photos but i dont know how.

I downloaded the new itunes. So, i plugged in my 5th generation ipod and when i plugged it in, it asked me if i want to set it as new ipod or back up from the 2nd generation ipod touch that i plugged in before, i accidently clicked on the back up from before so it when its done, it looked like my 2nd gen. ipod and i dont like it. All my photos and videos from 5th gen. Ipod were all gone and there are some pictures that i really need as soon as possible. Is there a way i can i can get those photos and videos back? I really need them. :(

Did you fail to import them to your computer?
If so, then they are gone.

Help!! All Photos and videos gone

I have an iphone 4 and recently, the speaker stopped working so I went to the shop and they told me to restore my phone to it's factory settings and then put everything back on again. I backed up my phone on itunes on my computer but when I went to put everything back on, it didn't put on any of my photos and videos... Also my previous messages were all gone... Is there any way I can get these back??? Please help!!

The first step in the upgrade process is a backup.
Did iTunes not create a new backup when you first connected it?
You really should be syncing your device and copying pictures off of it on a regular basis.
Starting an upgrade without first syncing and copying the pictures off is not a bright idea.
At this point, you only option is to restore.
Also, in the future, ensure your laptop is plugged into external power before starting upgrades.

IPhone 6 photo and video retrieval after restoring backup from my old iPhone 5 unit

Hi,
I was so excited to use my new iPhone 6 and started taking photos and videos with it. Not to mention that the photos and videos were of my all-time favorite artist during his much-awaited concert . When I got home, I forgot to download all the media files first to my desktop before performing "restore backup" via iTunes so all my old iPhone 5 settings could be duplicated in my new iPhone. Now, I can only access the photos/videos taken from my iPhone 5 in my iPhone 6. Not sure if I could still retrieve the new photos/videos taken recently using my iPhone 6 when they seem to have been overwritten by my old iPhone files. Please help.
Thanks!

Correction: the message that iTunes hangs at for hours on end was "Waiting for changes to be applied".

Pix and Videos gone after update - need help please.

Hi all,
I upgraded to the new OS2 and loved it... no problems there. When I tried to connect and pull pictures off via my PC, I got a message Blackberry Desktop software could not connect. I tried it multiple times after restarting the Playbook but would not connect. It connected and advised I needed to upgrade my software which I did, but when I started the Playbook after the install it was like it was brandnew out of the box. Had to go through the tutorial and then I was shocked to find all my pictures and videos were gone. I don'r care about the videos but had some really important (to me at least) pictures I wanted off of it.
Sooooo.... any chance of recovering those or does the updates just "Blow" everything away? I will never use my Playbook to take any pictures or video of anything again and guess I learned a painful lesson.
Thanks for ANY input you might be able to provide.

Same thing happened to me. RIM <Inappropriate Content Removed>
this one up.

All my songs and videos gone after app transfer to my laptop (iOS 5.0)

All my songs (about 1800 songs/12GB) and videos (10gb) have disappeared while two of my apps, Asphalt 6 and Real Racing 2 were being transferred from my iPod to my laptop. I guess they were being transferred since they have been updated and I haven't synced my ipod into my laptop for a while. But today while it was trasferring, it said that I'm running out of storage continuously and later on I saw that the transfer was done, but my songs and videos were gone! And my last backup was like when the iOS first came out, so it would mean nothing to restore from backup right now.
I can see all of the songs and videos that were on the iPod still on iTunes, but when i click on them, it shows the exclamation mark which means that they have been disappeared or something... Any help please?

The storage space taken up by "Other" can be made up of, notes or files of any kind you've added to the iPod whilst using it as a hard disk or album artwork. Or sometimes when the iPod data base has become corrupt.
There will always be a few MBs of used space under "other" but if it's in GBs it's unusually large. This often happens when the iPod data base becomes corrupt.
If the iPod is enabled for disk use, you can look at the folders on the iPod through Explorer or Finder (on a Mac) and delete anything you don't want.
If it's a corruption of the iPod database (as seems likely here) it will probably need to be restored, see how to restore the iPod to factory settings which will erase the iPods contents and reclaim the used space.
Then reload the music from iTunes.

IPhone 4 - All Data gone after iOS5 update

My coworker has an iPhone 4 but her home computer doesn't have a version of iTunes new enough to update the phone to iOS5. I installed iTunes and backed up the phone on her work computer and when I went to updated it to iOS5, everything was gone. Apps, contacts, pictures... everything! I had this problem with my own iPhone 4, so I restored from backup and all was well. However, when I tried with hers, it says there was an error (-50) and asks me to continue the restore and I say yes, but nothing.
There are 4 backups in my backup folder, but even when I used iPhone Backup Restore, it says there is no data in the backup. Are my backups corrupted? Is there any way to recover data?

Apps and music are not part of the backup process. They should already exist in the iTunes library of the machine it's being updated from and are synced back at the end of the update process. Unfortunately, since the update was done on a different machine, that didn't happen.
If your co-worker didn't have a late enough version of iTunes to update the phone, that also means she won't even be able to sync the phone with her computer.
Why doesn't she just download the current iTunes? Then she can sync her stuff back. Unless, that is, she has a Mac running a version of Mac OS X older than 10.5...

ALL my contacts are gone after IOS5 update. WHY?

I can't find my contacts anywhere, after updating to IOS5. There are not even in my address book on my mac. I backed up my ipod regularly, and did on last backup right before i updated to IOS5. They are all gone, i don't understand why. Does anyone here have ANY ideas? (i really, REALLY don't want to type in all my contacts, i probably could not even remember them all). please help, thanks.

I tries that and they didn't come back? : ( ANy other ideas? -thanks!

Fotos in Fotostream and icloud gone after iOS update

Hello. I have no more Fotos in my Fotostream and iCloud after the latest iOS update - I didn´t make a local backup and I don´t use iTunes or a Mac. Can Apple restore a backup from the server? Thanks.

No, I didn´t activate anything.
Did you check.
iCloud also tells me 5GB free, had 1GB of Data in it.
Photo Stream doesn't count towards your iCloud space, so that 1 GB was nothing to do with photo stream.

I updated my iPod Touch to 6.0.1. after much prompting. Now my music is gone! (along with apps, photos and podcasts). After syncing a bunch of times some of it came back, but not all of it. How odd is that? How can I get my music back on it??

I updated my iPod Touch to 6.0.1. -- after much prompting from iTunes. Now my music is GONE (along with apps, photos and podcasts). After syncing a bunch of times some of it came back, but not all of it. How odd is that? How can I get my music back?? I'm really bummed! Everything shows in iTunes, but it's not synching right. So glad I updated. NOT.

Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.
