All photos gone after I activeted Icloud Photo Library

Once I activated iCloud Photo Library all my photos that used to be in the photos shared folder simply disappeared from my iPhone and do not appear in iCloud. I missed all those pictures? It is possible that iCloud is still carrying all since I had over 1000 photos?

I have this same issue. Very frustrating. Made a similar post an no answers yet.

All photos gone after setting up iCloud?? Please help!!!

Hi, I've had my iPhone for about a month decided and decided to finally set up my ICloud. It said I needed to verify my email address, which I did. As soon as my iCloud account was set up, I noticed that all of my photos were gone. Somebody please help!! Why did it do this and is there any way I can get my photos back???

iCloud doesn't "delete" photos. You have lost them some other way. Most people sync to different computer and loose them or sync with computer that that has none saved. Camera roll remains no matter what computer you sync. Restoring may have erased them. If they were from photo stream sign into icloud at settings>icloud> and turn on photostream.

Photos missing after upload to icloud photos

Good Morning,
We recently activated the icloud photo beta app to move all of the ipad photos into icloud as we were having issues accessing a few photos from the photostream and though it may be a good starting point.
Since the upload a selection of photos are missing from the ipad photostream and are not visible in the icloud photos web page.
We have tried a restore of the ipad to the same day we set the upload going, however this has restored without the same batch of photos.
Can anyone suggest a reason for this happening, has this happened before?
We are using an ipad 2 on 8.1.2
ANy assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Soft reset phone. Are they in photos app? Or on vcloud?

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Photos have stopped uploading to iCloud Photo Library

I turned on iCloud Photo Library on my iPad Mini & iPhone 5S on Wednesday last week. Friday night it stopped working on both devices. It keeps trying to upload but then reverts to saying "Uploading 1 photo". How do I get this working again without losing the photos I have taken in the meantime?

Hi,
I had this exactly. My iPhone and iPad got stuck just moments after I enabled Icloud Photo Library.
I then plugged my ipad overnight to a charger and in the morning, it was all synced
So I plugged my iphone and it immediately started syncing the rest.
Hope it helps someone

I have a recently acquired iPhone 4. Is it true if I am using PhotoStream to upload photos to my PC via iCloud, photos are only pushed when wifi is available? This means I don't have to worry about extra data usage, right? Thank you.

Correct.
On an iOS device, new photos you take will be automatically uploaded to your photo stream when you leave the Camera app and are connected to Wi-Fi. Note: My Photo Stream does not push photos over cellular connections.

SAPMMC All Settings Gone after running CCCleaner , How to get all settings

Hello All
SAPMMC All Settings Gone after running CCCleaner , How to get all settings back .
I donot know what is SID ( System ID ), Instance etc.
If this is not relevant to this forum plz let me know which forum ....
Regards
Rohit

Turns out those error messages it gave me were because it didn't sync properly and create a backup. Which is why when I restored from backup it didn't reload my old info. Instead of assuring me that I would have the option to restore my info, it would have been nice had it told me that a backup hadn't been completed and that restoring my phone without it would leave me with nothing.
Tech support had me use my old SIM card to import my old contacts. This worked, but I've entered contacts since getting the new phone that aren't on my old SIM. And doing so left me with a bunch of re-organizing to do (deleting, combining, entering First and Last name fields...) it took me several hours.
I didn't get my appointments back, cause my old phone was just a phone, and that info wasn't on the old SIM, but I'm REALLY glad I got my contacts.

ICloud photos gone after iOS 8 update

Hi, everyone,
Recently I have updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 8 and when I open the Photos app I can't find my photos that are stored on the iCloud. Previously on iOS 7 they were kept in My Photo Stream folder, but in the recent update it is gone and in collections and albums only photos from camera roll are present though I can view them on iPhoto for Mac. Perhaps iCloud photos on iOS are stored somewhere else now? If anyone who encountered this issue could leave a response or a fix to the problem I would really appreciate it.

In iOS 8, new photo stream photos will appear in the Recently Added album in the Albums section of the Photos app. Older photo stream photos (as well as new ones) will appear in the Photos section.
See Get help finding your Photos in iOS 8.

Photos gone after upgrading to 5

Just upgraded to the 5, all syncs went fine, except for photos. Not there. Prior 4 was backed up to iCloud as well as iTunes. Are these photos gone forever or can I recover them somehow?

I guess I never used an application for photos. Told by Verizon rep that photos would be in the cloud and/or on iTunes since I backed up to both before I upgraded. I'm thinking that a while back I turned off the My Photo Stream function to save some storage. Which means I likely DON'T have the photos either in iTunes or in the "Cloud". That is a bummer that I'll probably never get those photos back.

I cant update all my apps, after i uploaded some photos to my mum's ipad. How do I change back to my ID. My iTunes refuses to update

I cant update all my apps. I can only update one by one. This happened after I uploaded some photos to my mum's iPad. Her apps are all updated by iCloud. Now her Apple ID keeps popping up and does not allow me to Update All. How do I change it back to my Apple ID

Hello there, jaygoh.
It seems you are having issues downloading an application from the App Store. To troubleshoot this issue, let’s follow the steps for iTunes Store connectivity:
First, try signing out of your account in Settings > iTunes & App Store. Once signed out, go ahead and restart your device. Once your device has restarted, sign back in to the iTunes Store and try to download the update.
iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account

PROBLEM! 1st I synced my iphone to Mac, then deleted photos to make some space, I think I deleted everything from icloud too! Please tell me there is a genius there who can fix this! is there a way to retrieve the photos even after deleted from icloud.

Hi, I know this is stupid, but without going into the how, I deleted important photos and actually backed up my icloud, so I think they are gone completely! I am furious with my self, is there anyway to retrieve this data from some space even if I have to be charged by apple ... just being hopeful...

Photo stream photos are not backed up, and when you delete them from one device, they are also deleted from iCloud and your other devices. If they were in your camera roll when you last back up you device, restoring the backup should recover them. Otherwise, they are, unfortunately, gone.
Also, photo stream photos don't use any of your iCloud storage so deleting them won't free any storage up in your account.
You can't really use iCloud to back up your photos. It's designed to stream them to your devices and share with others, not to back them up. In fact, photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days. In order to back up your photos, import them to your computer while they are still in your camera roll, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. Or, if you have a Mac that is signed into your account with photo stream enabled, and you are using iPhoto '11 9.2.2 or later, go to iPhoto>Preferences>iCloud and check Automatic Import. This will ensure that your photo stream photos are automatically imported to your iPhoto library where they will be safe (especially if you are using Time Machine to back up your Mac).

The video library is empty in iMovie on iOS after update to iCloud photo library

I updated to iCloud photo library and all of my photos and videos are now in the cloud instead of my iDevice. When I open iMovie in iDevice, the photo/video library is empty. How can I use my videos in projects?

iCloud photo library will be introduced as beta in an iOS 8 update scheduled for October. Read under "Pricing & Availability" here: http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2014/09/09Apple-Announces-iOS-8-Available-Septem ber-17.html.

How can I view all that is stored in my icloud photo?

I would like to see and edit all that is stored in my icloud? How can I do that?

It should all be on your phone. Just open the apps that you are syncing with iCloud (mail, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc.). Anything you change there will also change it in iCloud. Your photo stream photos are in your my photo stream album inside the photos app on your phone.
You can also view and edit some of this by going to on icloud.com from your your computer.

In icloud, do photos pushed to other devices if i open photo stream after i take the photo??

do photos taken before activating photo stream pushed to other devices??

After activating photo stream on a device, any photos taken later are push to icloud's stream, then any other devices that have photo stream turned on should receive them.
Note that for a photo in photo stream to be synced to icloud, the device must be connected to wifi and the photo app on the device must be turned off. (This means shut down, not just closed.)

Photos Gone after I synced to iTunes

Ok, i recently synced my important photos from a computer, and after few days that computer's hard drive was damaged, so i thorwed itaway. I had those pictures in Photo Library, and it was good. I bought a new computer and synced my new photos, when i synced, my old photos were gone, and new photos came. The old photos were gone. Someone please reply, those photos were important. If there is any way to restore them, please tell me as soon as possible.
I BEG YOU!!!!!
Please
Navroop J.

Photos that have been synced to the iPhone from the computer are not part of the iPhone backup. That is because the photos are part of the computer already. When you synced the iPhone to the new computer, since those photos did not appear on the new computer and you synced other photos, the old ones were deleted. This is how the photo sync process works.
Since your drive was damaged and you threw it away, there is no way to recover those photos. Sorry.
