Can I get my pictures back after losing my device?

My device was lost/stolen and I can't find my pictures anywhere...

I do my iCloud backup all the time with my iPad, and so if I want my photos back (if my device was stolen), then I would simply use my "replacement iPad" (i.e., the one I get to replace the one that was stolen) and restore all my data to this new iPad. I actually did that, but it wasn't with a stolen iPad. I got rid of one iPad and replaced it with a new one. So, before I got rid of the first iPad, I backed up everything, and then cleaned off my old iPad, got the new one ... restored the new one with my data -- and there were all my pictures again (along with all my other data, too). It was pretty simple, actually.
Now, if you're not going to replace your iPad right away, that iCloud backup will stay there for a few months. I would check with Apple to find out how long it will stay there. They'll let you know. You might have six months before the backup is deleted (if you have no activity on it). So, that's another avenue for you.
But, if you're not going to replace it, then you might find a willing friend with an iPad that has all their data backed up (they would have to be a "good" friend, though ... :-) ...) and have them erase it all and set it to factory default. Then you restore all your data to that friend's iPad and then you can perhaps get "another" backup mode to hold your pictures (from where you restored it on your friend's iPad). You can use Dropbox and backup thousands of pictures from your iPad. And they will stay there in Dropbox indefinitely, as long as you pay the monthly bill ... that is ... :-) ... That way your pictures are off iCloud and onto Dropbox and can be kept there indefinitely.
I'm saying all of the above, as if you don't have your own computer. But, if you do have your own computer, then you can transfer the photos from your friend's iPad to your computer, if you want to go that way.

Or ... further ... if you have your own computer, you can do a backup from your friend's computer onto your computer through iTunes ...

I've given you a whole range of options, depending on how you want to do it ... :-) ...

How can I get my Bokmarks back after losing them when I had an update for an add on?

After I installed an update for an add on, I opened Firefox and I found that even though all of the Folders were still there, under Bookmarks, all of the bookmarks were gone. Is there any way that I can get them back?

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

How can I get my pictures back after restoring?

I had to restore and wanted to know if there was any way I could get them back. I have no idea if they were saved on iCloud or anything like that. And they are not on my computer I know for fact.

If you have a backup of your phone that included those pics, then restore from that backup http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
if you don't have a backup, then sorry your pics are gone.

How can I get my pictures back after the iPhone update?

The update deleted all of my pictures and information. I did not realize that my pictures weren't being saved to the cloud. Are they gone forever?
I would be grateful for any sort of help you all can give me!
Apple, please take note. These incidences should not be happening.

IPhoto update from Mavericks deleted my library. How can I get my pictures back?

Soo my iPhoto just decided not to find my photo library anymore.
When I open iPhoto, it only opens a windwo where I can decide which library I want to open, but gives me no choices, the list is empty. Normally this window opens when my external HD is connected to my macbook since then there's two iPhotos available, but now it just doesnt find even one.
I had another problem with the iPhoto on my external HD, i wanted to open it but a window opened to tell me that my library is used by another programm or that the library can't be read anymore. I was able to save those pictures by showing the contents and copying the pictures.
Buuuut now on the macbook, when I do the left click thing to open the contents of the package, there are no pictures in it at all, no folder has pictures in it. When I copy the version from time machine, nothing changes. iPhoto has a size of 1.7 Gb, which is way to small. God dammit.
How can I get my pictures back?

Thank you Terence!
Okay, so here the details:
iPhoto Version 9.5.1
OS X Version 10.9.1
So here what I did, detailed. (pardon my english, I'm swiss)
I downloaded Mavericks, few days later updated iPhoto (the iPhoto icon was orange before and turned blue after the update). All went well, until one month later, all of a sudden, I was not able to open my iPhoto on the external harddisk. A window opened to tell me that either my library is being used by another programm or that it can't be read anymore. To solve this problem iPhoto tells me to do several things, for example shut down the computer and then open iPhoto again, or set up my library again or open iPhoto by pressing command and alt. But non of those instructions helped. So I opened the contents, I looked for the folder with the masters of my pictures and copied the whole thing onto another harddisk.
I think I got those Pics saved, but I still can't open iPhoto on the external harddisk.
Oh and by the way, the iPhoto icon on my external harddisk looks different now, it's three pictures in a row and the one on top shows a redish flower.
So now, two days later I try to open the iPhoto on my regular macbook. A window pops up and says that I have to choose a library that I want to open. (iPhoto usually did that when I had my external harddisk connected since there were two different librarys then, one on my external, one on my computer) But now, instead of showing me the library's I can choose from it only shows nothing, no list or anything i could even choose. And then below there's this button that says something like "create a new library".
So what I did:
I open the contents and looked for the masters of my pictures, but there weren't any pictures at all. The iPhoto has a size of 1.7 GB which I think is too small for all the Pics and videos i stored in there.
I tried to get the IPhoto from Time Machine, but nothing changed. Iphoto still's 1.7 GB.
I opened the file "Pictures" in the Finder, but there's no such file like "iPhoto library", like it's deleted or something like that.
So i think that I used iPhoto usually, nothing speciall. I imported Pictures from my iPhone or camera and left them there.
Does that help?

Back to where? On your iPad? How were they saved to the EHD? As image files or as an iPhoto Library? If it was the former you could use iTunes for Windows to sync them back onto your iPod. If they are in an iPhoto Library you could do the same if you can open the iPhoto librarhy package on the PC as you could the Mac and copy the Originals or Masters folder to the Desktop and use iTunes with that folder and it's subfolders. Someone who does Windows can explain how.

Can you get your photos back after the iphone does a restore

Can you get your photos back after the iphone does a restore?

Actually, wrong.
The tech support people can help with Playbook purchased apps. If you've called and they said they cannot, you were lied to.
Even in the link you posted, in #10, it states clearly "App Refund related matters are handled by BlackBerry Customer Care." That, my friend is accessed by the support number. Again, if you were told otherwise, you should inform them of such or ask for a manage/supervisor.
And, you don't have a "Partner ID" because you are not a "Partner". The section you're referring to applies to mobile providers, which are the Partners.
Good luck.

How can you get a calendar back after deleting it

You will have to restore the device from a backup on icloud. (this assumes you have backups turned on in settings>icloud)
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 device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

Hi Clembo60,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your text messages are missing after an update on your iPhone. If you have a backup of your device on either iTunes or iCloud, you can restore from that backup and bring your information back. Please review the attached article, which covers how to back up and restore from backups, for more information.

I have lost my phone and have no backup, how can I get my pictures back?

Without a backup, you cannot recover data. This is a basic tenet of data.
Did you perhaps have iCloud Photostream enabled?

I had to restore my iPod because I forgot the password, like how santa forgot about me. And I didn't set up a Backup. SO I sort of lost everything. But I'm wondering if I can somehow get my pictures back from somewhere. PLEASE HELP ME. Thanks

- If you used PhotoStream then try getting some of them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

Those aren't apps; they're bookmarks to websites. Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears? If all else fails, you can just re-do the shortcuts.
