Accidentally erased photos and videos

My 3 year old daughter erased the videos and photos off of my husbands iphone 3GS. Can anyone help? They're not on itunes. Are they lost forever or is there a way to retrieve them?
The videos were ones recorded from the phone from a family vacation.

If the files have been overwritten and you don't have a backup, they're gone.
If they have not been overwritten, then there are third-party apps (for example Techtool Pro 7 ) with data recovery functions that might be able to retrieve some or all of your files.
Backing up is good.

I wrongly erased photos and video clips, can I retrieve them?

Depends on how do you want to do it. If you store your backups with iCloud - try in your iPad's preferences. If you keep your stuff on your computer - plug your iPad in and launch iTunes, the photos should be there.

How can I recover accidentally deleted photos and videos?

My sister sorted the photos into albums in my dad's ipad then she deleted all the photos from camera roll. Surely, all photos and videos were erased. Please help me. There are many pictures there that I need for my wedding. I badly need them.

Unless you backed up your iPad to iCloud or to a computer, they are gone. You cannot safely recover photos from the iPad.

My parent's IPad is SUPER outdated and I'm trying to buy an app for my brother for Christmas. However, the computer that was connected to the IPAD, we no longer have. So is there any way I can update it on my mac without erasing all the photos and videos?

I plugged in my iPhone to my computer and it erased all of my photos and videos, is there anyway I can get them back?

The photos and videos were obviously taken before I plugged it in and I didn't get a chance to back it up. It just synced and erased everything once I plugged it in. The photos and videos were very important to me and it would mean everything to me to get them back. Please help.

There is more to the story than you're letting on. Possibly prompts from iTunes on your compute when you plugged in the phone that you didn't read before selecting an option...
The bottom line is, if they are not on your computer as a result of the sync, and you didn't back them up previously, then they are gone.

How can I erase data, photos and videos from iPad 2 before selling?

I plan to sell my old iPhone 2, there are many private file, like photos, videos in it, I have deleted them all, but I found it is still can be recovered by a iPad data recovery app, I worry my private info to be misused by someone else. So how can I permanently erase data, photos, and videos on iPad? Is there some iPad data eraser app?

If you're selling your iPad or passing it on to someone else, the first thing you'll want to do is make sure they won't have access to any of your personal data. Wipe iPad data before selling: contacts, messages, photos, videos, apps, account info, passwords and other personal data stored on iPad.

I want to sync my movies from iTunes onto my iPad, but when i try, it says it needs to "erase and sync" my iPad. If i erase and sync, will it delete my apps, photoa, and videos?

All devices only sync what you select to sync.
If you do not want all of the music, then simply do not select all of the music to sync.

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

Advice for recovering from "The requested URL was not found on this server" error when browsing photos and videos on my iPhone 4S IOS5.1

Im not quite sure how I got into this situation but I have fried my Iphone app photo and video library. This demonstrates itself in 2 ways
1. The above error message when I attempt to play videos older than a certain date.
2. Photos older than a certain date - appear to be grainy suggesting that only the thumbnails are on the phone, and the full resolution photos have been blitzed.
This coruption may have occured as I have replaced my Iphone 2 times in the last few months for various reasons, where each time I have restored them both using back ups I have made using icloud. (I havent made an Itunes back up since the iclod came around)
In reading the support forums - it suggest to restore from a back up version. Is anyone aware if selectively restoring media content from an icloud back up is possible.
I have 2 Back Up versions on icould.
1- 13.5 GB
2- 7.2 GB
My hope is that the earlier 13.5 GB version has content I am looking for.
I am kicking myself for not making the occassional itunes back up, or at least use Image capture as a more secure way of ensuring my personal content is not lost. (I am loosing faith with icould).
Can someone suggest a good workflow for restoring from a cloud back up. I have already downloaded the most recent photos using image capture onto my mac.

Progress Update.
I made a back of what existing phtos and Videos I had on my Iplhone. I used Image capture to do this making an entire back up of photos and videoa that were still intact on the phone.
Image capture is god for this purpose, as it does exactly what you ask it to do without applying any rules or squishing the files back into iphote (which might also be corupted)
Image capture wil do the basic function of retriving the contents of the phone and save them as native files on your hard drive.
Once I did this I erased my iphone, and re intitialised it restoring an older back up from icloud.
As the retore was happneing - I did retreive the missing files that cuased the intial beviour as above, and I could play the videos that were missing in the above scenerio. The wierd ting was however that even though the source files were now back on the device, the thumbnail previews were missing. Where I ahd balck thumb nails for server portions of the resotred content.
I then went to bed as the restore is a long process. When I woke up the library had library had cleaned itself up. Mysteriously the prcess had deleted the files missing the their thumbnails.
This is very perculiar and bad behavior.
I am now repeating the process, and will attempt to download the missing content as it is restored and prior to the phone trying to fix itself.
Here are the lessons learned.
DO NOT rely on Photo Stream to keep back ups and synchornise videos from you IOS device. IT DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS CAPBILITY
DO NOT rely on iCloud Back Up alone - always fd an occassional iTunes back up or more reliably still always take a back up of photos and video files using Image Capture to be doubly sure that you a have backd up any content.
DO THIS NOW - dont wait to loose your phone ofr have your phone repaired by replacement at the apple Store. (I did both :-(

I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud. I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server". Pics and videos have been deleted too.

I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud. When I restored my phone from icloud, half of my pics and videos have been deleted, the pics that were restored on my phone are very blurry, and the videos won't play. I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server". I have erased and reset my phone twice, but every time I do it, more pics and videos are deleted. I have backed up to icloud and iphoto, however, some of the pics are no longer on iphoto either. Is there someway to get the videos to play on my phone again? Make the photos not as blurry as they are now and to restore the pics and videos that have been lost? I really would love to have them back, this phone is supposed to be the best and right now it doesn't seem to be. Please help if you can.

I too have noticed that once i restored from iCloud. Pictures blurry and videos wont play!
Need help too!!

How do I get my wife's photos and video from her iCloud to my iPad?

How do I get my wife's photos and video from her iCloud to my iPad. She no longer has an iDevice and I want to retrieve some really sentimental photos and videos of my grandson. I've logged on to her iCloud account on my iPad, but don't know what to do next.
Thanks
Tony

Her camera roll photos and videos would be included in her backup. Restoring her backup to the iPad should recover them.
Start by creating a current backup of your iPad that you can restore your data from later. It's faster if you do this on your computer using iTunes; if you can't, create a backup in your iCloud account. If you can back up to your computer, do this by connecting the iPad to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Back Up. Then go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
Then erase the iPad and restore her iCloud backup as explained here: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521. When it's done, import the recovered photos and videos to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
Then erase the iPad again and restore the backup you made earlier, either from iTunes or from iCloud depending on where you backed it up.
If you want the photos back on the iPad, put them in a folder and sync them to your iPad by selecting the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing. If you want to videos back on your iPad, import them to your iTunes library (File>Add to Library), then sync them to your iPad from the Movies tab of your iTunes sync settings. You will then find them in the Home Movies section of the Videos app on your iPad. Just so you are aware, photos that you sync to your iPad can only be removed later by syncing them off your iPad (by deselecting the folder on the Photos tab and syncing again). They can't be deleted on the iPad itself.

I have updated my computer to iTunes 10.5 and my iPhone 3Gs to OS 5 and it has wiped my music, photos and video etc. I want to load my data from my wifes computer and it refuses because that computer does not have OS 5..Help

I wanted to upgtade my iPhone software to Ver5 but it said I had to upgrade iTunes to Ver10.5. Once the updates were complete I saw that all my music,photo' and video etc had been erased from both my iTunes AND my iPhone!!!!
I tried connecting to my wifes computer and her iTunes in order to back up my music etc and it will not allow it and states that my iPhone needs iTumes Ver10.5!!
This is very inconvenient and I am scared that if I update my wifes computer to Ver 10.5 we will lose that data also and as her phone is an older 2G iPhone, Ver10.5 may not work there!!
How can I get her music etc onto my iPhone 3Gs Ver5 as ALL of my data is now lost?

i had the same problem but i just got a new video converter and made it convert videos to ipod/iphone format and then put them into itunes. i would suggest GOM encoder as the encoder can convert them and then once they're finished converting, put them automatically into your itunes for you. from there you can just sync them to your ipod.

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.

Problems with messages, Photos and videos in my N8...

I have a weird problem , and I think it's widely spread among the N82 users . The problem is that after using the phone for a while , I find my very first captured photos and videos are gone !
Some said it could be the memory card, and that I have to get a better quailty card . And what about the disapperaing messages ? should I get a better phone memory quailty as well ? :s
The phone just erases messages randomly ... and for the photos and the videos , it erases the 1st three or four captured photos and the same for videos !
Please help my guys .. I need it desperately
P.S: I've upgraded from V20 to the latest firmware V30 and still the problem exists . I save the messages on phone memory and the photos and videos on the memory card . any help would be appreciated . Thanks ...

I checked the messages storage , it's the phone memory ... and for the memory card , no brand name is written on it .. just "MicroSD 2GB" and that's it ...
The memory card came inside the phone ... and i bought this phone from a Mall in Egypt .. and Nokia care won't do anything for me ... cause GPS enabled phones are not allowed in Egypt .. due to some security issues . so Nokia care won't support my N82 in here ...
