Can't find pictures in Photostream?

Ok, so I enabled photostream on my ipod touch 4s and it was working beautifully.  I got up to about 700 photos.  Then the new OS update came out, and I ran into some errors updating.  I had to reset my ipod, and when I opened up my Photos again, it only downloaded part of my photostream.  I only have about 100 photos on my photostream now.  Is there any way for me to retrieve my old photostream photos?  I regularly back up to my windows XP computer but I don't want to restore to a backup because I had a bunch of glitches and lags until I restored it.  I'm running XP, so it's not even like I can download that icloud control panel and check my photostream...

Many users have lost photos while preforming a restore from backup or upgrading the iOS.   Recall, only photos in the camera roll are backed up to iCloud.  There is a way to turn backups for camera roll on/off, perhaps these users had camera roll turned off.
See:
Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage,  tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
As for photo stream, it's possible that when fiddling about, you reset the stream or removed photos.  If they are there, then on the device, turn off photo stream and turn back on (in settings>icloud).  However, be warned that if the photos have been there for more than 30 days (and a max of 1000 are allowed), then they have been automatically deleted.
IMPORTANT...
Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream.  If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.
If you haven't been saving photos except relying on iCloud to store them in a backup, then that is risky, as many users have discovered.  I'm afraid I have no advice in this case - there is no "cure".

    where can I find my iCloud photostream online?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Unfortunately, you can only see online the photos sent with Shared Photo Stream to other contacts, from http://www.icloud.com
    Respecting to Photo Stream, you can't see them on http://www.icloud.com. To access to your Photo Stream photos, you need an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad with iOS 5 or later; a Mac with iPhoto '11 or Aperture 3, and OS X 10.7.2 or later; or a PC with iCloud Control Panel installed

  • HT201317 how can I save pictures from photostream to my pc that I already took

    I am sorry if this has been asked and answered, but I can't seem to find an answer (that I am willing to accept!).
    I have an Iphone, Ipad and PC.
    My iphone and ipad both have photostream (about 650 pictures each), and the camera rolls only have about 100 pictures each.  I am not sure why my photostream has more pictures, possibly the photostream is the culmination of my iphone 4 and 5.  I do not normaly sync with itunes with a cable on my PC.  I do have icloud, and it has about 5 gigs full. 
    There are a bunch of pictures in photostream that I want, so that I can make a photoalbum with shutterfly, etc.  However, when I try and save or email the pictures from photostream to myself, the file size is under 1 meg. (640k), but the pictures should be 2 megs+.  From reading posts, it seems that Apple adjusts the size to display on apple devices.  Also, I have seen where photostream can automatically download pictures to your pc in their original format, but this feature is for going forward, not prior pictures taken. 
    However, my challenge is to be able to access previously taken pictures, in their original file/quality size, to save to my PC.
    Is their a computer program, or something else?  I seemed to read that "maybe" if I had a MAC with iphoto, that it might let me import from photostream in original format, but even that was not 100%.
    Please help, as these are pictures were taken over several months time, and I need to put them in a photo book for a friend.
    I am willing to do anything, even buy a MAC, if I can just get my photos off of photostream (or icloud), in their original size and glory.
    Thanks so much.

    Photos are downloaded to a computer from an iPhone similar to the way a digital camera works. Using iCloud to transfer photos to a PC requires the iCloud Control Panel. Read this article for more help on both methods:

  • Can't find pictures

    I think I accidentally moved pictures to another directory and can't find them.Not sure what directory they are in now.
    Sowhen I go to iPHOTO now, I see a photo album but the pictures are blank.
    Can someone help a novice find where the pictures are? I'm great with finding pictrures (.jpg;s,etc.) in Windows. I just do a search. How do you do this on a MAC?

    dannyg12
    Do a search for
    library6.iphoto
    That's the main database file. Thats should lead you to the missing Folder. Use Spotlight (the blue icon top right).

  • Light Room Can't Find Pictures

    I can find the pictures in MY Pictures and open them up in Windows and in PE 11 but when I try to import them into LR 5 it says it can't find the pictures. It has me baffled.

    The exact message is "No photos or videos found to import"
    Yes they were originally imported and I was able to view then they dissapeared, but the collection named remained in the list of collections with the notatiion of zero pictures. I eliminated the collection and started all over to import it anew. The result being the program can't find the pictures.

  • E71, NMT on Mac can't find pictures

    When I use NTM on my Mac, the application can't find any of the pictures I've taken with the in-built camera. The pictures that comes along with the E71 are detected, but none of the picture I've taken. Same thing goes with the videos.
    What should I do to make sure that the application finds my pictures?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    I think mostly the image capture plugin is either corrupted or damaged. Try the steps below and check.
    -Open HDD-Library-Application Support-Find and Delete the entire Nokia Multimedia Transfer folder.
    -Then navigate to users-Library-Application Support -Nokia Multimedia Transfer (delete) -Applications-Nokia Multimedia Tranfer-Control Click-Show package contents.
    -Delete the entire contents folder.
    -Make sure the trash is empty.
    -Download and install NMT again from www.nokia.com/mac
    -Now connect the device
    -Go to NMT> Tools and Settings > Check for updates now
    - Reboot Mac and then reconnect the device and check.
    Hopefully this works.
    Regards

  • Can't find picture files on 30GB iPod

    My hard drive recently crashed and I am trying to transfer picture files from my iPod video back to my computer. I have downloaded a program to help transfer the photos but when I open up the photos folder in My Computer there are only two folders an empty folder and a photo database icon. But when I disconnect the iPod and open the photos section all of my pictures are there. How can I find the pictures files? If anyone can help please let me know. Thanks

    Check http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/ipod-software-windows for something to help you transfer the photos from the ipod. You may want to try copytrans ( http://www.copytrans.net/index.php ) as it copies absolutely everything from your ipod, then look in the directory created by it for your photos.

  • Can not find pictures

    I can not find any of my pictures that are on my computer.  I don't know what happened to them.  The icon at the bottom of my screen for my pics isn't there anymore...
    Also, my start up disk is full and I only use my computer for pictures (which i can no longer find) and internet… 

    Download from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper and Grand Perspective (both free) and open them.  They will show all of you files and their respective sizes.  Delete or transfer to an external HDD the files that you do not want on your MBA.  Don't forget to empty Trash.
    Ciao.

  • Can't  find Pictures from My PhotoStream in iPhoto

    Yesterday I had all my pics and Events on iPhoto  ( including .mov file videos I took with my iphone).
    Sudenly this morning  I go to iphoto and everything is gone ???
    So what I did was opening iphoto again and import an iPhoto file I had on the Pictures Folder in Finder . I recovered many of my missing pics  but I'm still missing others ? Any advice ?
    As for the .mov file videos they are completely gone?

    What version of iPhoto and system are you running?  Assuming it's iPhoto 9 (11) give the following a try:  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.

  • Can't find picture

    I had a HTC droid incredible two and broke it by mistake I replaced it with another HTC droid incredible two because I liked it so much.  Once I got my new one I synched it with my gmail account that is attached to my phone that's when the background from my other phone showed up.  However, the picture does not show up in my gallery. Where would this picture be stored? I would really like to find it so that I can store it on my computer.
    Thank you for your help!

    It might have been stored in the internal phone memory or on the external SD card.  Did you plug the phone into a computer as a disk drive to check for any files you wanted to transfer?

  • Can't find pictures in Picture folders

    I have a new 8900 Curve with some photos in the Blackberry/Pictures folder (some taken with the camera and placed there automatically, others moved onto the device using Blackberry Desktop Manager/Roxio software).
    The problem is that none of these photos appear when I select "Change Icon" for MyFaves or "Add Picture" to a contact.  I see Media Card/BlackBerry/pictures, and no photos are there.  Or if I select Media/Pictures/All Pictures, I don't see them. 
    The only way to see them is if I select Media/Pictures Explore/Media Card/Blackberry/pictures, which I can't do from the Edit Contact/Add Picture menu.
    Make sense?  What's the fix? Thanks.

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    Use the explore option again and when you get to pictures select show hidden.
    If the pictures don't show up, look for a BBthubs.dat file, delete it.
    Do a battery pull.
    Then go to media, pictures and see if they show up.
    BBthumbs.dat is a index file that lets the device pull up the media quicker.
    Thanks,
    Bifocals
    No data will be lost when doing the following: pull the battery while the device is ON.
    Replace after a minute, Let the device reboot 1-3 min, see if the problem is fixed.

  • Can't find pictures after backup

    I recently changed my HDD in my laptop. I first did a backup onto an external hard drive. When attempting to restore the files to my computer I only get the folders in 'My Pictures' but no files/pictures in those folders. I can't even find them on the
    external hard drive. What should I do?

    Hi,
    First, we can try to use SATA USB cable.
    I also would like to suggest you try the following methods to check the issue:
    1. Show hidden files, folders, and drivers. ( Open the Start menu and type 'hidden' in search box, Click on 'Show hidden files and folder', In the View menu that pops up, click "Show hidden files, folders, and drives")
    2. In folder properties, check if any Previous Versions is available.
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Previous-versions-of-files-frequently-asked-questions
    3. Browse for files before restoring.
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Restore-files-from-a-backup
    If only the jpeg files not showing in "my picture" folder, I would suggest you to do a check disk on the system and check whether the issue persists.
    a. Click Start and then Run.
    b. In Open, type cmd and then press ENTER.
    c. Type chkdsk, and then press ENTER.
    You can refer the article mentioned below for further assistance.
    Check a drive for errors
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Check-a-drive-for-errors
    In addition, I think the best and most effective way to get these files back, contacting data recovery center to help find data on the older HDD.
    Hope it helps.
