All pictures not backed up from iTunes

I lost my iPhone 5s on holiday a couple of weeks ago and I have
received a new phone (iPhone 5s) today.
I thought I had lost all my photos and apps and I received them all when I
did a backup. I believe this happened because I synced the phone with iTunes
and most of my data was retrieved. I believe it was not iCloud as I could not
find my pictures anywhere on the iCloud control panel on my computer when I
returned from holiday.
This is now the confusing bit. My pictures were taking forever to download
and then it gave me a notification that I had no more storage space. I deleted
some pictures and then decided to buy more storage. Now I am stuck, I believed
it would continue downloading my pictures once I bought this and it has not.
Is there a way I can restart the download of my pictures so I receive
all of them? I believe that not all were downloaded because I have
retrieved half of my pictures from my helicopter ride across the Grand Canyon
and I know there is more. If the earlier pictures were backed up then the rest
should be too right?
I have looked at so many articles online and Im still new to iPhone so I am
highly confused. I do not want to delete and start again because I do not want
the pictures I have managed to receive (which I thought were forever lost) to
disappear again for good.
Help would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks,

Although photos/videos in the Camera Roll are included with the iPhone's backup, photos/videos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera - especially before restoring your iPhone with iTunes which completely erases it first. The iPhone's backup includes a significant amount of data and if there is a problem with your iPhone's backup in regards to this data, the photos can be lost.

Try using a utility such as this one to see of you can recover the photos from your iPhone's backup stored on your computer's hard drive.

  • HT1766 I have manually back up my iphone few days back, and my contact got missing the next day. i restored my back up from iTunes, however, my contact did not get restored. How do i check if the manual back up did actually back up my contact or not?

    Your entire second paragraph is so confusing I am going to ignore it.
    But I may be able to answer your first and third paragraphs, which seem to address the same question.
    I wonder where your iPhone states it was backed up yesterday.  I am going to assume that you see this under Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
    If that is true, then the backup from yesterday is in iCloud.  The one and only way to restore an iCloud backup is to do this on your iPhone:
    Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
    That will cause your iPhone to begin a setup process.  As part of that process, assuming you enter the same Apple ID you used when you created the iCloud backup, you will be offered the opportunity to restore from it.

  • I restored my iphone then chose to back up from itunes and lost all my photos !

    I restored my Iphone 4 and then chose to back up from itunes (as there where I have always backed up on to) I got all my apps back and contacts, but lost all my photos, wi-fi info and other little bits.
    Does anyone know how to get them back at all?!??
    Thank you so much

    Something may be wrong with the backup in regards to texts and photos in the Camera Roll with your iPhone 4, but music is not included with the backup and the same for photos transferred from your computer.
    The music should be in your iTunes library on your computer and any photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone 4 should remain on your computer.

  • HT1386 I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S).  I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone.  But not sure how to do that.

    I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S).  I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone.  But not sure how to do that.  When I open iTunes it has a button that say "Back Up iPhone", but I'm not sure what that does.  When I go into the sync options it say I have another user account and asks me if I want to merge of replace. I'm assuming it's trying to tell me I have an older iTunes Library, but don't know that.  Geez, maybe people over 60 shouldn't have iPhones, iTunes just bafles me.

    Copy the entire iTunes folder from \Users\<User>\Music on the old drive into your music folder on the new computer.

  • My Ipod nano 5th gen lost all of my podcasts and will not download anything from ITunes

    All my content on my Ipod nano 5th ed disappeared, and it will not download anything from ITunes.  I restoered original content. My operating system is up to date.  My capacity is 8 gigs.  What more should I do?

    The title says "iPod nano 5th gen" but your message says "iPod classic". There is a forum for the iPod classic, if that is what you have.

    Recover software as you have described is pretty much your only option - keep in mind that if wait, some of the currently recoverable data may well be over-written and lost.

  • How do I batch delete all my protected music files from iTunes.

    Hi, in a moment of stupidity, while I was working on a backup folder of my friends files (from his broken computer - copied them to my PC so he could get them back onto his new PC) I managed to copy all of his songs from his iTunes folder into my iTunes library. I don't know how I managed to do this, maybe it was the fact that I was really tired at the time.
    I own all my music - none of my music is copy protected (it is either downloaded from legal sites where the bands themselves [usually unknown or alternative artists] release their music, or I ripped the music from CD's I bought) and all of his music is copy protected.
    Now thing is, I have upgraded my PC before realising I did this, so now I don't have the original iTunes library (formatted PC and reinstalled XP from scratch) - is there any tools out there that will find and delete all your copy protected files from iTunes?
    I could go through song by song and when it comes up with the "Authorise computer - This computer is not authorised to play "******" Would you like to authorise it" and delete those songs, but as this is a very slow and time consuming process and considering I have 8,551 songs, I would prefer a faster way.
    I would go and re-rip all the songs, as I have the original discs, but this would take very long, and put quite a bit of strain on my CD drive, and this would not account for all the songs I have spent years finding on the internet/demo songs from friends bands.
    Any help is appreciated, as I would love to be able to remove all of his songs so they don't keep popping up in my iTunes library
    Thanks in advance.
    Dale.

    I have never tried this and am not at a computer with iTunes, but can you delete from a Smart Playlist? If so, you could make a smart playlist that shows songs that are of kind Protected ACC. Then select all and delete from that playlist. But I am not so sure if you can delete from a smart playlist.

  • Problem with iOS 5; Backing up from iTunes.

    I have a hugh problem when uppdating to iOS 5. When I try to configure the iPhone after uppdating: I try to choose back-up from iTunes but it just says "connect to iTunes" but iTunes allready have install all the back-up and it's connected. I've tried unplugg and plugg in again like 100 times. What shall I do?

    Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
    Also try this, copied from http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    "No SIM installed" alert (GSM models only)
    Remove the SIM card (micro-SIM on iPhone 4). Insert the SIM eject tool or the end of a small paper clip into the hole on the SIM tray. Press firmly and push it straight in until the tray pops out. See this document for more information.
    Verify the SIM card is not damaged or dirty.
    Reinstall the SIM card.
    Turn the phone off and back on.
    Wait approximately two minutes, then see if iPhone detects the SIM card and if it will register on the network.
    If that doesn't work, try another SIM card, if possible, to see if it is detected.

  • HT201272 Will Apple give me all the music I purchased from iTunes for my new computer?

    My computer crashed so I bought a new one but my entire music library is gone. And to make matters worse it didn't back up on my external hard drive so I would like to get all the music I purchased from iTunes back on to my new computer. My only thought is I am at the mercy of Apple to get it...am I right? Thank you

    Whether or not you'll be able to depends on what country you're in, and whether the music is still available in the iTunes Store.

  • Sync Notes option GONE from iTunes after ML Update?!?

    I upgraded to Mountian Lion
    Now in iTunes, under the 'Info' tab for my iPhone, I can no longer see the 'Sync Notes on this iPhone with Notes on this Computer' option.
    The checkbox & heading has COMPLETELY gone.
    I'm assuming this has something to do with ML now having a native Notes.app but this is of no use to me.
    The bulk of my notes on my iPhone were created before iCloud existed. And so they belong to the account 'On my Phone'. So even when turning on iCloud syncing for notes on the iPhone, these old notes do not transition to iCloud (A well known flaw amoungst many users I've seen on here).
    Does anyone know how else to Sync notes from an iPhone to a Mac running ML?
    Once on the Mac, I can simply turn on iCloud syncing for Notes on the Mac, then drag & drop the Notes from 'On my Mac' to 'iCloud'.
    So has anyone else noticed the Sync notes option dissapear from iTunes after upgrading to ML?

    I did what you just said (drag & drop) and ALL of my notes dissapeared off ALL of my devices AND iCloud!!!.  Fortunately I had backed up my iPhone 4 iOS 6 and still have all my notes in the iTunes backup file.  I restored that file (including my notes) and as soon as phone restarted, it re-synced with the empty iCloud Notes and notes disappeared again from my phone.  This is absolutely REDICULOUS!!!  And I'm still using Lion with latest iTunes update so I still have Sync Notes option in iTunes, BUT IT DOES NOT WORK!!!  Somebody at Apple has been drinking WAY too much.
