Recover lost photos and videos after 7.1.1 upgrade fail

Hi,
I updated my Ipad mini this morning to 7.1.1, and after it failed to update, I tried to install again, after which it went into recovery mode. It looks like the last successful cloud backup was 6 months ago, so I have lost 6 months of photos and videos of my young baby.
Photo stream was turned on, so my question is - can I recover the lost photos/videos from photostream somehow?
Some feedback for Apple: fix your upgrade process, and if there is even an outside possibility that it will remove all my photos and videos as part of the update, make doing a full backup before the update mandatory.
Thanks,
Craig
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

  • Recovering lost photos and videos

    I recently deleted a lot of photos and videos on my iPhone 5. I am trying to get them back. I am pretty sure I have backed my phone up on iCloud before I deleted them. Please help me get them back

    To restore from iCloud you will need to first go to settings>General>Reset>Erase all settings and content
    This effectively erases all content on your device and then when you go into the actvation process you will choose to restore the device using the icloud backup in which your pictures are stored. A simple matter of retstoring your device from the icloud backup where you backed up your pictures.
    Good luck.

  • Lost photos and videos after a restore on ipod touch

    I forgot my ipod touch passcode while out of town.  I visited the apple store for help and they restored it to factory settings and recommended that I restore it from my itunes account when I returned home.  In the mean time, I took amazing photos in a foreign location.  When I got home, I restored my ipod  and, after it synced, learned that my amazing photos had been deleted during the restore.  Is there any way to recover those photos/videos?  Please help!

    Not now.  There was chance before you restored your iPod on your computer.

  • How can I get back lost photos and videos after updating

    I am having a big problem I tried to use a back up but that didn't work out well.

    You should be importing all pics and vids taken with iphone regularly as you would with any digital camera, most especially before any update or restore
    If you failed to do this, then they are very likely gone.
    All you can do is try a restore from backup

  • HT4858 My iphone5 was stolen (second time) :( How can I recover my photos and videos on icloud? Last time they did not all come back

    My iphone5 was stolen (second time) How can I recover my photos and videos on icloud? Last time they did not all come back. Specifically I need photos I took 1 day before it was stolen.

    If they are in photo stream and your computer meets the minimum system requirements (OS X 10.7.2 or higher and iPhoto '11 9.4 or later or Aperture 3.4 or later; or Vista SP2 or later if you have a PC), set up iCloud on your computer and enable photo stream, as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/.  You'll get any photo stream photos from the last 30 days.
    Camera roll photos are stored in your iCloud backup, and can only be recovered by restoring the entire backup to another iPhone or iPod Touch that is running the same or higher version of iOS as the phone you backed up.

  • HT4910 I have lost photos and videos recently added to I pad

    Can I retrieve lost photos and videos from I pad

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can always restore from your back up, assuming your back up was last taken before your video was deleted.

  • 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! 

  • How can I retrieve my photos and videos after pressing 'delete from everywhere' accidentally on my iPhone 4s?

    Hello all,
    So I was organising my photos and videos on my iPhone 4s and wanted to delete them from my camera roll once I had moved them to new folders. When I tried to delete them from my camera roll it asked if I wanted to 'delete from everywhere'. Not knowing what this button did I pressed it and have now lost all the copies of those photos and videos I had taken!!!
    Is there any way of retrieving them off of my iPhone? Is there like a recycle bin type folder where all the deleted data has gone to from where I can recover it?
    Hope someone can help.
    Thank you

    Your backup contains photos and videos from the camera roll, if you did not sync after that, use the latest backup to restore from: iTunes: About iOS backups and Backing Up, updating, and restoring your iPhone and iPod touch software

  • My iPhone library says library rebuilding I cant fix this I am trying to recover my photos and video please help.

    My grandfather recently passed away. I have photos of our last moments together and i went to upload them to computer and Iphone says library rebuilding. I cant see the photos on the harddrive or anything. I am really nervous I lost these i had a video and everything I am really lost for words.....if anyone can give me any help on how to fix this i read something saying get the Iphone browers but it wont install.

    Image Capture will only import photos and videos from the camera roll, not from photo stream.  In order to import them with Image Capture, you would first need to save the photo steam photos to his camera roll by opening his my photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  You can then import them with Image Capture.  After doing so, delete them from his camera roll by opening his camera roll, tap Edit, tap the photos you want to delete, then tap Delete.
    If you did this carefully, he would never know.  The risk is that you accidently left one or more photo stream photos in his camera roll and he noticed it.
    Before doing this, check to see if the photo stream photos are already in his camera roll.  The may be as all photo stream photos originate from the camera roll.  Unless he subsequently deleted them, they would still be there and could be imported with Image Capture without needing to change anything on his phone.

  • Backup Problems - Lost photos and videos

    I have just taken delivery of the 4G and it doesn't seem to have picked up on the "Camera Roll" photos and videos that I had with the 3GS. I made sure to back up the old phone before retoring it to factory settings (I have sold it).
    When I tested it to make sure that all my info was off the old phone iTunes was still showing it as my account. So, probably stupidly, I logged out of my account, renamed the phone and restored it again. This didn't help but I think it may have "lost" the photos and videos that I had previously.
    I have looked on the laptop for the files to try and restore them manually but without luck. Can you tell me where they may be and how I might recover them?

    The camera roll (photos taken by the iphone or ipod screen snaps) are not backed up with a sync. They must be extracted from the iphone3G prior to restoring it using iphoto(mac) or a digital camera wizard(windows).

  • How to recover deleted photos and videos on the iPod touch?

    I had a bunch of photos and videos from our feild trip to mammoth cave. I moved the photos to a new album and deleted them from the camera roll. I didn't know that it would delete them from the new album too. Please Hep!

  • HT1766 Recovering deleted photo and video files from iPhone4S

    I accidently restored my iPhone4S and deleted my photos and videos. I was in the process of uploading these files to my newly created iCloud account using iTunes, but during the early stages of the process the phone OS locked.  The only choice I was given was to restore and I chose to do so thinking that some of the media had been uploaded to iCloud. Is there any way that I can recover the deleted files?

    Without a backup there is nothing to restore.
    iTunes has nothing to do with uploading content to iCloud.

  • Lost photos and videos

    I upgraded from 3GS to 4s. I took a bunch of pictures on my new phone and when I connected my phone to iTunes, it eraced all of the photos and videos. Is there anyway I can retrieve them?

    If you did not back the new phone up then no. You might want to turn off automatic sync on your iTunes to help prevent this type of action. Also, when you get a phone replaced, it is also a good idea not to do anything with it until you have restored your backup from the previous device. I'm assuming that is what you did before you finished the device setup?

  • Help for : Recover datas (Photos and Video) afert ...

    Hello
    Do someone know how to recover my data ?, I already tried recovery file tools without success.
    I make a hard reset, I was sure that hard reset don't delete Mass Storage.
    But it's not the case, I lost all my photos, and my videos. For me the built in storage was exactly a same behavior as a external SdCard.
    Thank you for your help.

    Unfortunately it cannot be done, that's why it is always adviseable to backup/sync your phone on a regular basis ! Sorry
