After restoring my iPhone, photos in my text message history are gone

I recently did a restore on my iPhone (June 27th). I back up to iCloud....
I was going through my text message history, and i noticed that the photos I had sent in them were gone, and I can't seem to recover them. I just see an image with a question mark where they should be. When I try to click it (like I might be able to load it), nothing happens. The text message history is there, but not the images.
I also noticed that some pics I had recently taken were gone from my camera roll. When I restored - they were just gone... They had "spots" for the days they were taken, and when I would click on them, it would say loading, but nothing ever happened.
So, I thought the back up must have been bad, but when I try to go back to that point (27th or prior), I can't - only the 3 most recent backs up there, last night, the 3rd, and the 1st.
I've got an older backup that I did to my computer, I could maybe use that - but that was from May (I normally back up to iCloud). I thought iCloud allowed you to back up several generations - similar to time capsule on a mac.
Anyone else experience this problem? Any suggestions?

every time i plug in my phone it doesnt say "sync iphone" it says restore iphone... which i have already done twice

You should be importing pics to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera. Nothing should only be on your iphone. You should keep everything on your computer.
If you have failed to do this, then they are gone.
You can try restoring from backup.

My phone died randomly and prompted me to plug it in and open itunes. When I did that it took me through the steps to restore my iphone.

Photo's by text message

Why wont my iphone 4s send photo's by text message ?

Are you provisioned by your phone carrier to use MMS? Do you have MMS turned on in settings?

Maybe more details as to what happens when you try.
another suggestion is to contact your phone carrier as messaging is a carrier feature.

All of the sudden my entire text message history was deleted, but if I search for a text it shows up in the results but will not open. How can I restore the old text messages?

I went to text message on my phone and when I looked down my entire text message history was gone. When I sent a text message it showed up as the only box an there was not an Load Older Messages option. But when I page over and search a word or name old messages show up in the results and when I press on them it opens the text message page but there is no text message.

i think that was the problem. i simply downgraded to Firefox 5, not only because of the highlighted text fields, but because i was getting a lot of crash reports whenever i opened multiple tabs. downgrading to Firefox 5 resolved it.

Missing Text Message history

I updated my iphone 4 to iOS 6 and now all of my text message history is gone. What happened?

For each contact press and hold your finger over the message you want to delete. A pop up appears then choose More...
You can then choose Delete All from the top left of the screen, or select each message individually on the left then touch delete at the bottom left of the screen to delete just those messages you previously selected.

After receiving a photo in a text message, my I Phone 3GS screen is now fuzzy over 3/4 of the screen. I deleted the photos, did a restore of the phone, did a restart of the phone and still the screen has the fuzz over 3/4 of it.
Anyone ever experienced this problem and know how to fix it?
Thank you for your help.

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

What do you mean by "restoring definitions"?
What EXACTLY is your problem?
"does not works" is just a bit vague.

Here to help shed some additional light on this case, jdondr. I also own a Maxx. With your phone, if you access the Gallery, there should be a folder named: Messaging. If you look at the upper left hand corner, you should see a drop down box. Is it currently set to Albums?

After restoring my iphone 4 to factory settings, then restoring from a recent backup, my phone will reboot but keeps coming back to the "new setup or restore from backup screen". How can I by-pass this screen to go directly to the sync apps/music screen?

Well, it's certainly behaving as though the phone that was backed up was synced to a different iTunes library.
I'm going to throw one more thing out there... Yes, you backed it up to this computer... Was the phone previously set up to sync with this computer? Or was it syncing with a different computer and you just backed it up to this one?
You may have to end up setting it up as a new device and rebuilding the phone by manually re-syncing your data, apps, music, etc. to the phone.
Trying to keep your library on a different drive can be tricky. If iTunes starts up and the library isn't available, it may end up generating a new library ID, meaning that you could easily find yourself in exactly the position you're in now...
I'm curious why there was a need to restore your phone to begin with... It may not have any bearing on this at all, but it could.
