1,000 pictures from iPhone 5s now missing on my iPhone6, despite a full backup/restore prior.

I have just migrated from an iPhone 5s (iOS7) to an iPhone 6.
I did a full backup of the 5s to iCloud.
When I started the iPhone 6 I did a restore from the iPhone 5s iCloud backup.
I understand that there is no actual 'Camera Roll' on the iPhone 6 but the iPhone 5s had the following folders:
Camera Roll           1,401 pictures   
My Photo Stream      999 pictures
Panoramas               1 picture
Videos                         13 videos
Instagram                    217
I would expect all of this content to be backed up and transferred when I restore.
This same problem happened when I went for 4 to 5 and I let it go but this time I'm not prepared to live with it.
I can just about live with the silly decision to remove the Camera Roll with no explanation or better function but not with losing 70% of my pics.
Hopefully theres a simple explanation!

That's a wake up call on photostream, and I'm sure there's a lot of users in the same boat, they should be clearer about that.
The photostream limits are clearly explained, 1000 photos, 30 days. It has always been that way.

It's also an issue now there is no Photostream on iOS8?
Photostream is present in IOS8, same functions, same limits.
iCloud backups from an IOS device do not include photos.
Your iOS device backup only includes data and settings stored on your device. It doesn’t include data already stored in iCloud, for example contacts, calendars, bookmarks, mail messages, notes, shared photo streams, My Photo Stream, and documents you save in iCloud using iOS apps and Mac apps.

  • HT1296 trying to sync 2,000 pictures from my iphone to mac has been soooo slow. Is there an easier, faster way?

    Does anyone one know the fastest wasy to upload 2,000 pictures from my iphone to mac computer? Iphoto is what I am using to upload the pictures.
    THANK YOU!!!

    How long has it been since you setup the iPhone again and entered your iCloud information? You might just have to give it a little more time to finish adding the other Photo Stream photos.
    Try checking the Photo Stream on your PC or Mac.
    iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    On your Mac, they appear in the Photo Stream view in iPhoto or Aperture. In iPhoto 9.4 or later or in Aperture 3.4 or later, open the My Photo Stream album in the Photo Stream view.
    On a PC using Windows 8, from the Start screen, select Photo Stream. On a PC using Windows 7 or VIsta, click the Windows Start button, and then Pictures. Click Photo Stream under the Favorites menu in the panel on the left. Double-click My Photo Stream to view your photos.

  • I have an iMac ...I would like to delete 70,000 pictures from my iphoto 11 trash but it kept crashing ...what to do?

    I have an iMac ...I would like to delete 70,000 pictures from my iphoto 11 trash but it kept crashing ...what to do?
    Thank you & ShineOn!

    Best guess on this point, though my suggestions may be shot down to the very last ...
    If Terence Devlin says I am an idiot, then I will have learned somwthing from his counter-points.
    Your HDD may be running low on free space, at least enough free space to process 70K photos in a single shot (an entire library, all associated as one).
    You need to see how much free space vs total disk capacity is left.
    Then check the size of the files you are trying to "empty trach".  If those two numbers are too close, you may need to try some gymnastics.
    If you have not used CarbonCopyClone, you may want to get an external drive that is 2x your internal drive.  If you have room enough, download (for free) CarbonCopyClone or SuperDuper (your call, both equally good).  Make a clone of yuor drive onto this external single-partition drive, which should have more than enough free space without shutting down.  You do this by booting holding the "option key" so that all operations are now on the external disk.
    Then you can clone this external clone back with an empty trash.  Then be more careful about how large the "trash gets", by disassociating bulks such as iPhoto.
    This may be an overly dramatic approach and there may be ther ways to bypass "empty trash" usage of system resources.   But nothing is destructive on your original disk until the last step of cloning back, and you have a new way of making an "emergency crash" bootable disk if even that does not work.  I DO run with a CCC external bootable, by the way, so the "if nothing else" effect has value.

  • Spot on the photos- while taking pictures from Iphone 4s against bright light.

    Hello, 
    I am using the iPhone 4s.. n i have noticed lately that i get a spot on the photos while taking pictures from iphone 4s against light/bright light.  If I take a normal photo with the lens not facing directly to the light, I dont get the spot.  I have attached some of d pics taken by me both against the direct sunlight and one against the night street lights.  Please let me know if this is a minor issue or shall I get it replcaed..
    Appreciate your help in advance.
    Happy New Year 2012.
    Thanks
    Prakash

    There may be something corrupt in your camera roll, or a photo you saved from an email, text message or from the internet preventing them from importing.  You might try transferring them wirelessly to your computer using an app like PhotoSync.  If they transfer successfully, delete them from camera roll then take a new photo and see if iPhoto will import it now.

  • How to get pictures from iphone 4s to iphoto?

    I am unable to get the pictures from my new iPhone 4s transfered to iPhoto on my iMac (version 10.5.8).
    It does sync via iCloud to my iPad, but it will not transfer pictures to iPhoto when connecting the phone to my iMac. The phone doesn't appear on iPhoto... I don't have iCloud on my older iMac. It is not very impressive if you must have iCloud to be able to get pictures from iPhone 4s to iPhoto!
    Any ideas?

    I'm having the same problem.  I know that doesn't help you, but at least you know you're not alone.

    Do you see Photo Stream on the left side of iPhoto?
    Appletini6

    Yes but iPhoto can import directly via Photo Stream.

    As an added note, if you are trying to use photo stream, that will only work on newly taken photos.  Existing photos when photo stream is turned on will not sync to the stream.  Use the connection to your computer as descibed in the link as the way to get photos to your computer.

  • How do i get pictures from iphone to mac?

    How do i get pictures from iphone to mac?

    If you want your photos to end up in iPhoto, just do a normal sync. If you don't want to use iPhoto, or if you just want to put your phone photos in a normal visible folder on the desktop, luckily when you plug in the iPhone a Mac sees it like a camera or card reader. This means the iPhone will show up in common applications that have an import-from-camera feature. I've copied photos off my iPhone using Apple Image Capture, PhoneView, and Adobe Lightroom, for example.

  • HT1420 how to transfer music and pictures from iphone to computer

    how to transfer music and pictures from iphone to computer

    If the music was purchased from iTunes then you should be able to copy them over to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases if you have iTunes 11 on your computer). If the music came from other sources and you don't have a copy of them anywhere else, then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which might be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    For photos taken with the phone then on a PC you can use the windows camera wizard, and on a Mac you can use Image Capture, iPhoto or Aperture : copying photos. To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to a device, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • HT201317 how do i restore a deleted picture from iphone

    How do I restore deleted picture from iphone 4s

    If you've previously synced the pictures to a computer (as is generally advised to archive them), then they are gone, unless you have backed up the device to itunes or icloud.  If so, you need to perform a restore:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your phone.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your phone is new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
    Note that you cannot restore just one file, it's all or nothing.
