How do I get my pictures back after icloud deletes them without my approval?

I upgraded to the new OS, 5.0.1 (9A405) and just like that, all my photos are gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
I would love to show you my newborn at day one or that incredible sunset at Key West, but they are gone, GONE!!!!!!!!!  I am not the only one having this problem, but I have not seen anyone with a solution to this major problem.  My phone is a iPhone 3Gs.  I brought up iTunes on my PC and the pictures are GONE there, too. 
I am viewing the CAPACITY bar meter at the bottom of the iPhone summary page within iTunes, and it shows 0.39Gb in OTHER.  Could these be my pics????  I would love to know.  If you have any clues as to how to fix the problem, please let me know.  Thanks.

Remember, icloud is someone else's server, in someone else's building, in another state.
Restore YOUR pictures from YOUR backup hard drive that you have in YOUR possession.

  • How do i get my contacts back after i seleted them from my phone can i go through icloud??

    plz help me

    Only if you backed up your phone to iCloud (which is different with syncing your contacts with iCloud).  If you have been syncing your phone with iTunes you can restore your phone from your most recent backup, which will replace the data and settings on your phone with those from your backup (losing any more recent information).  To do this, first open iTunes but do not connect your phone.  Then go to iTunes Preferences and check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".  Next, connect your phone to your computer and when it appears on the left sidebar of iTunes right-click on it and select "Transfer Purchases".  When this finishes, right-click again and select Restore from Backup.
    If you haven't been syncing your phone, or backing it up to iCloud, or syncing your contacts with a supported application such as Outlook or mac Address Book, then there is no way to get your contacts back.

  • How can i get my memories back after itunes deleted it?

    case is,
    i connected my iphone for the first time ever to itunes, it showed two options, to choose it as a new iphone or if i have any other user. so i thought i had an old user, so i just chose the second option. it appeared i didnt have any old user for my iphone but only for my ipod, and the next step itunes did was restarting my my phone, and deleting all of my memories. since it was the first time ive ever connected my phone to itunes i didnt do any back up for it, i didnt use icloud, nor dropbox. so what can i do to get my memories back?

    If you did not back up, they are gone.
    That's the whole reason to backup.

  • HT3529 How do you get your imessages back once you  deleted them

    I deleted my icloud messages and messages  how do i get them back.

    Backing it up is what you are suppose to do regularly, But, trying to save them via backup means you have to restore your phone in itunes and that is probably not the way to do this. You can search on google for an app that may exist to save these ( if there is one, that would be the best way ) or you can take screen shots of your text and email them or just keep them on your camera roll. Im pretty sure if you google, you will find something to help you save them, most likely the deleted ones are gone tho.

  • How do i get my pictures back after a restore?

    i restored my iphone at the apple store and came home to put everything back on but cancelled it becasue i didnt have time to do it. so now i cant figure out where my picures went and how to get them back. i got 200 back from photo stream. please help.

    What pics?
    pics taken with your iphone should be imported as with any other digital camera.  If you failed to do this and they are not in photo stream, then they are gone.

    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.

    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.

  • How can i get my pictures back, which were deleted because my ipod recovered.

    Hello,
    I wanted to put some music on my ipod. After removing my ipod from the computer, i checked the pictures. I saw i lost my 400 pictures, which i made in vietnam. Is there any way i can recover the pictures. I already tried restoring the pictures. All thensetting were the same, but my pictures didn't show up.
    I am using iTunes for windows (version 10.5) and my ipod is version 5.1.1
    I hope you can help me,

    If you ever ran a backup of your iPod to your Mac, you can use this app - it is a LIFESAVER!
    http://picturescueapp.com/
    Before you buy it, you can download it for free and scan your past iPod backups to see if your pictures are there.
    Also, if you run Time Machine on your Mac, you will have older iPod backups there, so you can pull up the backup file from a Time Machine backup, and then open it up with PictuRescue.
    Good luck!

  • How can I get my downloads back after mac lost them?

    I had download Quicken to my iMac and downloaded Microsoft Office for Mac.  We moved from one state to another and now there are none of my downloads present.  I desparetly need both.  Can anyone help me with this situation?  I've never had this happen with a PC and I'm new to Apple.
    Thanks!!

    I know this may seem like a stupid question, but did you check your downloads folder? Or the Applications folder? Some Apps will go to your Applications folder others will stay in Downloads until you run the .dmg file.
