Can i restore lost unbacked photos?

Whilst updating my iPhone 5, the updating failed and I lost my photos which were not backed up. Any chance of retrieving those lost unbacked photos?

Sorry but no if you are sure you don't have a backup via either iTunes or iCloud. For future use, iCloud backup is pretty painless as it will happen automatically when the phone is on, locked, and connected to power. More information: iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
I would also strongly recommend that you periodically either import photos to a computer iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer or use some other service such as Flickr where you can see the photos in a second location, in addition to the above backup.

    Did you have the phone set to backup things to the One Drive on Microsoft servers?

    It was tele tech. I couldn't open my Page Numbers etc. Frist tech chat idiot - following dumping few things in bin, asked me yo upgrade to Yosemite. But the problem still persists. This morning I was asked to do it via telephone and like yesterday, after wasting 20 min, I was put to this apparent Tech Queen ( my foot!). She eventually decided to reinstall  Yosemite asked me to connect my external drive while I connected to her. She was moving cursor asking me to move files and delete and I followed her like a dummy. It took 3/4 hours and she called me 3 times once the lengthy process was completed. I suspected from the beginng for the fact that why should be asking me to click all my backup from the very beginning! Eventually she said I deleted... Or someone else or may be my children ! It was a blatant lie. I run my small business from home and I was simply staying in front of the Mac whole day! Children were at school. Then she said I must have used another computer! I only have laptop and the iPad. I will talk to their manager first thing in the morning. In the mean time please let me know as to how can I transfer photos, music etc back to my laptop from my Iphone and IPad .? I am will connect to laptop as I am worried the new BLANK iPhoto may supersede iphone/iPad stuff? Will it? Please let me know. I am not a very tech savvy person. My son who could help me, is in Manchester Uni and Inam in London.

    If the photo was in your Camera Roll album and you have a current iTunes or iCloud backup then you can restore from that backup to recover the photo.

  • How can I restore lost videos ????

      How can I restore lost videos from about 6 months ago that were sent to me via a message? I tried Itunes backup and it did not bring them back. Very important videos that were lost during an update. HELP!! and thanks!

    It was my grandson who lost my videos..supposedly it happened when he was handling and update on my phone. Since then, the videos that my friend messaged to me last summer are gone. I did a backup today that should have included them, but they are still not to be found. And, of course, I really need them and to remake them will cost me a lot of money. Thank you for your help...maybe I am just doing something wrong when I do the backup. Should I use any certain program that will work better than Itunes?

  • Can I restore a single photo/photo folder from Time Machine/Time Capsule

    Hi
    So I'm usuing Time Machine to back up my MacBook to Airport Time Capsule.
    If I somehow lost a couple of photos and its taken a few months to realise, can I retrieve just these photos/photo folder or do I need to restore my whole photo library going back to a past date - and then how can I be sure which date to restore back to - is there anyway of actually viewing the photos for a certain date before restoring?
    And if the only way is to restore the whole library, what happens to any new photos that were added to the library between present day and the date I would be restoring back too?
    Would it be better to move my photos from the app Iphoto to a documents folder for future use?  This is assuming that in a documents folder you can view and just retrieve a single document...  Havent tried it yet but that was my understanding...
    Hope this makes sense
    Many thanks in advance

    Learn from Pondini, who knew more about Time Machine than anyone.

    See the green box for links for iPhoto instructions according to the version that you might have.

    No. Even if you did this, you would not be able to retrieve individual photos since iPhoto is a special type of package file.

  • HT201317 How can i Restore a shared  photo stream

    I Deleted my iCloud account and shared photo stream was deleted, is there a way for restoring my shared photo stream without having to create a new all over again?

    You can't delete an iCloud account, you can only delete it from your device. If you log back into your account and enable photo stream, I think you will find that your photo stream photos return.

  • How can I restore my old photos after a recovery if not backed up through itunes or icloud

    Here's the story. I dropped my phone in a swimming pool. It did not start at first. I layed the phone in a bag of uncooked rice and after 5 days it seemed like it was going to startup again. However something was wrong with teh battery so we ordered a new battery. The phone started up with the new battery but it wanted to go into that recovery mode. I did go through the backup procedure in iTunes and then recovery. The phone is now starting up fine but it is blank from apps and photos like a new phone. I did not have any photos backed up over iCloud before this happened. However shouldn't the photos still be on teh memory card of the phone? I thought the recovery process just resets the phone to factory standard, not deleting my photos. How can I get my old photos out of the phone? They are not in the DCIM when I log on through Windows explorer as well.

    What a crappy design. This is where Android is so much better. It seems to me like you have no control over your iPhone. It does whatever Apple has designed it to do without asking you first. On Android you can actually go in see all folders, document files, photo files etc and you have so much more control of everything. Apple s..cks!

  • How can I restore lost purchased itunes?

    How can I restore itune I inadvertently deleted?

    If you have failed to maintain a backup copy, then you will have to redownload them.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • HELP!!!Can I restore back my photos and documents after I did factory restore setting? [never back up before]

    Just wonder, I have tried to do that for my mac pro. [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtUw-vo606w] , once I have reinstall the mac lion, the laptop will be just as the same day when i first purchased it right? Will i be able to restore back my photos ? Please note that, i never back up my photos before.

    Yes if you erase/wipe, re-partition the drive before you do a reinstall of OS X Lion all data on your drive will be removed and replaced with just the operatiing system and the standard programs that come with OS X, Mail, Contacts, Safari, iTunes and the like. The iLife Apps, "i" Photo, Movie and Garage Band will not. Those Apps need to be downloaded from the Mac App Store and installed.
    All other programs you have bought and installed will need to be reinstalled from either the CD/DVD disc or from downloads from the internet website you bought them from.
    Backing up all your music and photos depends on what programs you are using and whether you saved them outside the Apple Apps iPhoto and iTunes database structure.

  • Can I restore lost photos from my camera?

    I was transferring pictures from my camera to my computer.  I had selected them and was going to drag them to a file on computer but hit delete instead.  Is there a way to recover them?

        AngelHill, I can understand how this can be concerning. Did you have your photos backed up on your phone/sd or to a social media site like flickr? If they were not backed up then unfortunately they will not be able to be recovered.^SP

  • How can I restore lost voicemails after iOS 5 update?

    I've seen a lot of posts of this sort, but I've been trying to fix this issue for months and I really need some experienced help... When I updated my phone to iOS 5, I received a message saying my phone couldn't be restored because the backup was encrypted--I had neither requested nor set a password for this encryption. The phone now had none of my information on it, notes, texts, voicemail. I panicked, called Apple, and they helped me find a way to restore the notes from files in iTunes, which is a relief because I'm a writer and had a lot of work in there.
    However, the phone started asking me for a voicemail password that to my knowledge, I had never set. I tried a few passwords and attempted a few other methods of recovery, all to no avail. So I reset my voicemail password, as all the online literature I could find suggested. However, the "password is incorrect, please enter your password" prompt then no longer showed up. After long deliberation I set up visual voicemail over again, but to my dismay I no longer have any saved messages.
    At this point I have lost over a year's worth of text messages and voicemails. Some of these were incredibly important to me. I would love to recover all of it if possible, but I particularly care about the saved voicemails. Some of these were from my girlfriend during a difficult time in our lives and I really need them back. I also lost important texts from my girlfriend, best friend, and siblings, but the most important thing is the voicemails.
    Nothing I'm concerned about is more than a year old, but there are around five or six voicemails I need. No, there is no deleted folder from which I can undelete messages, I know how to do that. My phone is not yet jailbroken but I'm not against doing it if it will allow other methods of restoration to be attempted. I do some coding myself and I'm not daunted by the prospect of sifting around in my computer's files and command line, by the way. I still have all the itunes backups, although half of them are still encrypted with an unknown password. I will pretty much try anything to get these messages back.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I know of no way to remove encryption on iTunes backups if you've forgotton the password.  If you've used the 4 digit PIN code to lock your iPhone in the past that can sometimes default as your "password" for this encryption in iTunes.  Try that PIN or any PIN you've used in the past.  If you don't use a lock maybe you played around with that feature once when you first got your phone....try "1,2,3,4" or anything you could have possibly tried.
    As far as accessing older unencrypted backups you can try this software.  I do not have any experience using it but it seems like it's what you need and is probably the easiest route for both voicemail and texts:

    If you want to try to find voicemails using Terminal, I found this link as well:
    http://mikereys.wordpress.com/2011/10/18/iphone-backup-restoring-visual-voice-ma il/
    I know with AT&T, voicemails are only stored on their servers for 30 days so any voicemail older than that you would not have been able to access again.
    Best of luck.

  • How can I restore lost paths?

    After getting a new external hard drive and copying over my iTunes folder, iTunes has lost the paths to hundreds of files stored in the proper places in the iTunes folder. It has always been set to "keep iTunes folder organized", and after setting the folder to the new location I consolidated the library. Still hundreds of songs aren't found. I can locate manually each file, as they remain where they should be in the artist and album folders, but there are A LOT of them. is there not way for iTunes to search automatically and restore the paths?
    thanks!

    I was thinking that this might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
    but I'm worried that I will lose all my playlists if I do this, and I'd rather not back up and restore each playlist individually since I have many.
