  • How can you restore photo stream photos back to Apple TV after accidentally deleting from your iPad

    After accidentally deleting photo stream  photos on my iPad, this deleted photo stream photos on my Apple TV.  How can I restore these photos back to my Apple TV and also to  my iPad?  Suggestions welcomed

    If you have a backup of your iPad prior to the date of deleting your photos, you can find them. Otherwise, you might be able to find them.
    If you do have this backup, then you'll have to restore your iPad to that point.
    If you had a Mac with iPhoto, then when you connected your iPad, iPhoto would store the photos separately from Photostream.
    I despise Photostream. It's turned off everywhere on my system. It is one of the most useless pieces of junk that Apple has foisted on my Mac and iOS. But hey, that's just my opinion.

  • How can I restore photos where there is now  greyed nothing?

    I have already submitted this question, but apparently no one saw it as it does not exist.  
    I recently had to reload from Time Machine my photos.    A number of them were just greyed out squares.
    How can I restore them.   Scrolling by the photos they show up, but once scrolling is passed, they disappear again.
    How can I fix this?

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.

    Thankyou Bradleigh

    You can't just restore the photos, you would have to restore the entire backup, then import the photos to your computer, then restore to your current backup to get your current data back.  This will be a somewhat lenghty process.
    If you want to do this, first back up your phone to iCloud as it is now (Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Back Up Now).  When done, go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  Next go through the setup screens on your phone and when given the option choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below), choosing your old backup to restore from.
    After restoring, import the photos to your computer as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    Then Erase All Content and Settings again, go back through the setup screens again choosing Restore from iCloud Backup, and this time choose your current backup to restore from.  This will return the phone to its current state.  Finally, if you want the photos you recovered back on your phone, put them in a folder on your computer, then select the folder to sync to your phone on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync your phone.

  • How can you restore photos deleted from iphone

    Is there a way to restore photos deleted by accident from an iPhone?

    Not unless you synched/backed up your phone with those photos already on there.  In this case you can restore your phone from that backup.
    Otherwise, they're gone.

  • How can I restore photos from Time Capsule/Machine w/o getting lots of duplicates?

    Hi All,
    I recently "lost" some photos and tried going into Time Capsule/Machine to restore them.  I went to applications, opened Time Machine, got the "Star Wars" like screen, scrolled to the appropriate date (I thought), clicked on that date, went to my user name, clicked on Pictures and then clicked on iPhoto Library.  It asked me if I wanted to create a copy called iPhoto Library2 and I said yes. 
    Next I clicked on restore and it began restoring my iPhoto Library from that day.  Unfortunately it created copy after copy after copy of each photo, hundreds!!  And it broke down each photo into faces. Again and again and again. Bottom line is that since I must have picked the wrong date my pics weren't there.
    I decided to delete iPhoto Library 2 and there were some 130,000 items to delete.  Then it took about 24 hours to secure empty my trash.
    So my question is how can I avoid this next time?  I really want to get these photos back but am afraid to try it again.
    Thanks in advance for any advice!  They are of my 19 year old niece's visit to Australia so the pressure is on!
    Kindest regards,
    Becky

    You might post this query on the iPhoto forum and perhaps someone there can provide an answer.
    I tried this on my MBP and it seems that you have to restore the entire iPhoto Library.  What I did was put the current library in a separate folder on the desktop and then I restored the library from a prior date.  If you were to do that, you then could extract the desired photos and then delete the restored library.  Then place the current library back to the original location and import the desired photos.
    Not tidy but it seems it will work.
    Ciao.

  • How can you restore photos lost during software update on iTunes?

    How do you restore or even find photos lost during software update of iphone 4 on iTunes?

    Why did you not back it up before performing the update? Did you perform the update on a computer other than the one you normally sync with?
    As already stated, if you didn't back it up, the data is now gone.

  • Photos don't show individually. they only come up when I double click the blank box. how can I restore iPhoto?

    when I open iPhoto, the screen shows only blanc squares where the photos should appear. when I double-click on a square (titled by date taken), all pictures come up. how can I get back to seeing all individual pictures?

    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to rebuold the thumbnails. This can take 3 or 4 goes to work

  • How can I restore photos lost from an app?

    I tried to install iOS8 yesterday - it wasn't straightforward and I ended up having to restore my phone from the backup I had just made. Whilst most things  have restored okay, there are a couple of apps which have lost data that I very much want to recover. Can anyone offer any advice?

    Pics taken with iphone should be imported to your computer regularly, most especially before any update.
    If you failed to import your pics, then they are very likely gone.  You can try restoring from backup.

  • HT203167 one of my tracks i.e. Sultans of swing ( Dire Straits) should last for 10.54 minutes but now only plays for ten second then carries on to the next track, how can I restore the original download ?

    One of my tracks i.e. Sultans of Swing (Dire Straits) should last for 10.54 minutes but cuts off after 11 seconds, then plays the next track.
    How can I re-download the track again to restore it?

    Delete problem track from library (if it is an iTunes Store purchase and you entitled to redownload past purchases - stop otherwise!)
    Close iTunes
    Open iTunes
    Select iTunes Store in left-hand column
    Select Purchased in right-hand column
    Select Music and Not on this computer
    The track should be listed now with a small cloud symbol which lets you download it.
    If you start downloading the track in step 7 then... While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked. (Should should help improve the reliablility of future downloads made with this build of iTunes.)
    If the above hasn't helped then... contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • How can I restore Photos from another iPad? But they have the same Apple ID and were not backed up in a computer?

    We, I mean my mom and I were trying to restore important pictures from our sold iPad and put them in the new one. They were not backed up inside her email address and she keeps on bugging me right now to look for them. Please help us

    Are the photos in the Camera Roll album in the Photos app?
    If so you can connect the iPad to a computer and copy the photos to the computer. After they are on the computer you can sync them to the new iPad.

  • How can you restore photos that haven't been synced into a desktop or connected with iCloud

    I was updating my iPod to the latest version, but something went wrong. It was restoring it right after, but it wasn't able to recover my photos and videos. I didn't use iCloud at that time or sync the photos and videos.
