Restored my 4S. How to get pictures back from the cloud?

Background: I had a 3GS and on launchday of the 4S I picked one up. A white 32GB on AT&T to be exact.
I had been having some issues with the battery, so today I figured I'd try and start fresh. Well, I backed up everything on the cloud, and I also backed up everything onto the computer in iTunes when I did the restore.
I've got my music back. Cool.
I've got my apps back. Great.
I can't seem to figure out how to get my photos from the camera roll back. Nor do I know how or if it is even possible to get the photos and my old text messages back on this new restore. Also, none of my mail is coming back either.
I can see my most recent backup in the iphone settings under iCloud. And I can also see my most recent computer backup on the computer. But I'm not sure what I need to do.
Any help would be great. Thanks.

OK - understood.
There are a couple of ways of going about this. First, my recommended method:
Restore from a backup (so your photos, SMS etc are on the phone
Connect to iTunes
Set the phone to sync photos to a relevant app on your desktop (what app depends whether you're Windows or Mac) - this gets your pics onto the desktop and safe.
If you want to save SMS, use PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Windows) or similar to copy them off the phone
Restore the phone as a new device
Get the photos back the way you got music etc back - via iTunes sync
The second method entails using one of the utuilities around the place that can extract from the backup - I have no experience with them, so I don't know how well they work. That's why I go for the first method - simpler, more robust.
By the way, I came across this other method for SMS:

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.

Getting files back from the cloud to my pc

Inadvertantly, many of my files have gone to the cloud and I have no idea as to how to get them back, can someone offer suggestions?

I figured it out. I forgot to authorize my current computer on MATCH. Once I authorized my current computer, the cloud icon allowed me to actually download the music I originally uploaded to the cloud.

Lost emails, how to get them back from the Mail folder?

Hi there.
I have a folder called +/Previous System+ inside of this folder there was folders of the system I had before.
Inside there is the Applications folder, and I deleted the old versions of the applications such as Mail, but when I did this, I lost the preferences and the email accounts, the Mail application opened as new, without any account, I still have all the folders and .mbox files under ~[User]/Library/Mail but I don't know how to make the accounts visible in Mail
Question 1: How can I retrieve my sent and received emails.
Also the accounts that I had were POP and today I learned that the hosting provider suggests IMAP, so now I'm confused.
Question 2: What should I do? if I get the accounts back will be POP or should I create IMAP accounts and try to retrieve the emails there?
Thanks!

HT204406 I tuned on IMatch, hated it, so turned it off. I want to get all my music back from the Cloud so that it sits locally on my hard drive. How do I do that?

Hello Tina,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you would like to download your songs from iTunes Match. You can do this by turning iTunes Match back on and clicking the cloud icon with the downward facing arrow next to the songs that you would like to download to your computer:
Available for Download
This icon appears when a song is available in iCloud and hasn't been downloaded to your local library.

this seems to me to indicate that Match copied the library up into the cloud and it no longer physically exists on my HDD???
No, this is not what iTunes Match does. When you enable the service it leaves all the original files right where they are and mirrors your library in the cloud by either matching tracks to tracks available on the iTune Store or uploading tracks to the cloud. The service does not delete files from your HDD.
I am unsure what you mean by "library icon" or "itunes library file" but if you mean the iTunes Library.itl file the size of that file is irrelevant.
Before you enabled the iTunes Match service approximately how many songs were in your iTunes library and where were they stored? On the internal HDD of the computer, or on an external? Also, do you have backups?

Where in iCloud are they? If they are in your backup, restore the backup to your device. If they are in photo stream, sign into your iCloud account on your iOS device or computer and enable photo stream.

How do I get old texts from the Cloud

How do I get old text from the Cloud? Issues with my phone forced the Verizon Tech to wipe my phone and start over. He said the Cloud would hold everything and I could retrieve it later. I can't find any of the saved texts that I had. Help please.

Had you previously backed up your texts to the cloud? Yes, you can save things in the cloud, but you must first set it up to do so.
