How do i restore my pictures from backup

So my old phone is dead and my pictures are on my backup with Verizon Wirelesss.  how do i save them to my computer? 

You can try a restore, but read the added comments below.  To restore, Settings>General, scroll to bottom and tap Reset (delete all files on device).  Then attach to iTunes and following instructions to setup.  Along the way you should have the option of restore.  Choose which backup to use.
Warning...
Many users have lost photos while preforming a restore from backup or upgrading the iOS.  There are no solutions to this in most cases.
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".

  • How can I restore deleted pictures from an iPhone 5  without back up?

    How can I restore deleted pictures from an iPhone 5  without back up?

    If you've previously synced the pictures to a computer (as is generally advised to archive them), then they are gone, unless you have backed up the device to itunes or icloud.  If so, you need to perform a restore:
    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 phone.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your phone is new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
    Note that you cannot restore just one file, it's all or nothing.

  • How do I restore iTunes library from Backup files on External Hard Drive?

    How do I restore iTunes library from Backup files on External Hard Drive and keep the new iTunes library on the External Hard Drive. I have all the media and playlist and .xml .itl files, just want the iTunes to recognise the content.
    I backedup my iTunes content by dragging to External Hard Drive. Formatted and reinstalled OS. My iTunes content is so large, that I wish for the Library and content to remain on the External Hard Drive. I have all the music files and playlists, I just cannot get the iTunes application to display all the content. Hoping to Not have to drag and drop all the content to be recopied into new iTunes organised files.
    Troubleshooting this by researching other conversations on the web, I have come stuck for a solution. One Troubleshoot told me to hold down the Command key and then lauch iTunes and a dialogue box will appear to Choose a new library, however when I try this, no Dialogue box appear to give me the option!?

    It sometimes has that funny switch symbol on it too.

  • I deleted all mail on server. How do I restore .mac mailboxes from backup?

    My .mac mailbox was almost full so I went to my .mac account through my browser and deleted everything and emptied the trash. Then when I looked in my mail.app on my imac all my emails were gone from my .mac account. I have a complete backup, but when I copied to user/library/mail/my .mac folder (which has about 6 subfolders), nothing showed up in my mailboxes on my desktop. How can I restore my .mac mailboxes.? And how do I setup my .mac mail so it doesn't stay on the server at all but only on my own hard drive?

    Hello,
    Either resetup your .mac account as Account Type POP, or simply create some On My Mac mailboxes and move the messages from your .mac Inbox to these one or more On My Mac mailboxes (created as New Mailboxes).
    When set up as Account Type .mac, it is the same as IMAP, and the Inbox resides on the server, as normally does the Sent mailbox. The strong point of IMAP accounts is that the Sent and Inbox synce between computers since the mailboxes reside on the server. Most people choose a .mac account specifically because the mailboxes reside on the server.
    When you first reconnected with Mail, after using web access to delete, it synced the empty Inbox, as would be expected with an IMAP or .mac account. If you have a backup copy of any xxxx.imapmbox folder that once existed on the server, then you can rename that to be xxxx.mbox and Import it into Mail. This would include the INBOX.imapmbox folder from the copy of your .mac account folder.

  • How do i restore sms messages from backup

    I had an appointment at the genius bar today and they restored my iphone 4 to factory settings. i was told all my texts (SMS and iMessage) were backed up. I was told to open an iTunes and setup the iPhone as a "new phone" rather than restore from my backup file. Does anyone know how I can restore just the SMS/iMessage part of the backup? thanks!

    Actually, there's a way to restore deleted SMS directly from iPhone 5/4S/4/3GS.
    If you've ever synced your iPhone with iTunes before, there is also another way: to recover from iTunes backup for all iPhones including iPhone 5 and iphone4S. You just need the help from an iPhone text message recovery tool.
    Part 1: Directly recover deleted photos from iPhone 5/4S/4/3GS
    1:Connect your iPhone to the computer
    At first, please connect your iPhone to the computer and run the program after installing it.
    2:Enter your iPhone's system and scan it (iPhone 5/4S users can skip this step)
    After downloading the plug-in, you need to get into the device's scanning mode before scanning. You can follow the steps below:
    1)Hold your iPhone and click the "Start" button.
    2)Pressing the "Power" and "Home" buttons simultaneously for 10 seconds.
    3)After 10 seconds, release the "Power" button, but keep holding "Home" for another 15 seconds.
    3: Preview and recover iPhone messages
    When the scan is completed, choose "Messages" to preview the detailed content. Mark those you want and click "Recover" to save them on your compute with one click.
    Part 2: Scan and extract iTunes backup to recover iPhone SMS
    1: Scan your iTunes backup for iPhone 5/4S/4/3GS
    After installing and running the program, move to "Recover from iTunes Backup File" and you'll get the interface as follows. All your iTunes backup files have been found and displayed. Choose the one for your iPhone and click the"Start Scan" button.
    2: Preview and recover iPhone SMS
    Only need to check the "Messages" option and hit the "Recover" to save all the messages on your computer.
    3:Do backup well
    In order to save your important SMS messages, immediate backup is very useful and important. Please remember to backup them on your computer .

  • How do I restore specific items from backup?

    Hi
    My phone had no reception, therefore I went on iTunes and backed it up then restored my iPhone to the factory settings.
    The recetion problem got fixed, but when iTunes asked me to restore my backup files on to my iPhone, so I did. then the reception problem came back on again. from here, it's obvious something in my backup files is making this problem happen. I then restored to factory settings again, but this time I set it up as a new device.
    now the question is, since the restore from backup function restores everything including the problem, how do I get specific things from the backup files?
    and also what exactly is backed up when you choose to backup the iPhone, does it backup things like photos and videos etc.?
    Thanks in advance.

    Not true - i don't sync my contacts with another service; they are restored from backup when needed. You can sync them with a service, like Outlook, Google etc, but most people do not know how to do this, so they just use the iPhone backup.
    I'm not sure about "most people", unless most people don't read the manual, which gives very clear step-by-step instructions on how to sync contacts (and calendar) to either the cloud or a computer application. Or they skip the manual and look at the screen, which has a checkbox and dropdown to sync contacts to a computer application.
    I can think of no reason to NOT sync contacts to an application or cloud service, as the iTunes backup is notoriously unreliable and is easily corrupted.
    But you are correct that contacts are included in the backup.

  • How can I restore 1 picture from time capsule

    I am trying to import 1 picture from my time capsule backup. It only allows me to do 1.

    The process is a bit different if you are rerring to an image in iPhoto.
    If that is is the case, make sure Time Machine is closed.
    From the dock, open iPhoto as you normally would
    From the iPhoto File menu at the upper left hand corner of the screen. select Browse Backups
    Using the scale at the right of the Time Machine window, go back to a date when you know that you had the impage on your computer
    Navigate using Events or Photos to locate your image
    Click Restore at the bottom of the Time Machine window to restore your image
    Close Time Machine

  • How do I restore selected  pictures from Time Machine?

    If I want to restore selected documents or music albums/tracks I open Time Machine look at the specific date and select the item and click on restore. But how do I do this with pictures? If I open Time Machine my pictures are nowhere to be found. At least I cannot locate them. If I right-click on IPhoto Library in the Finder in Time Machine nothing happens. At least not Originals as in the regular Finder (this is where pictures are stored in the regular Finder.

    Hi Terence, I have the following problem:
    -I have many digitalised old pictures that were given the date when they were actually scanned and given a name by the dude who did it
    - so for instance my 1982 picture from Paris is titled 'album 4-picture 2000' and has the date July 2 2009, which does not make a lot of sense in a library
    - so I batch changed all the digitalised pictures for date and title so now my picture has the correct title 'paris' and the correct date July 4 1982
    - now, when I want to restore this particular picture from TM, as you explained me yesterday, I do get the picture but not the new title and date. It will now say again 'album 4-picture 2000' and will have the date July 2 2009
    So I only have a problem with date and titles that I changed. TM restores it with the original date and title. And that does not make sense after you have put so much time in changing/correcting all these data. Thanks Adrian

  • How do i restore music files from backup without changing loosing the library structure?

    hello,
    i have 2 external hard drives. i had my itunes media files on one of them and a copy of them on the other one. (the itunes library files are on the internal hard drive)
    the external hard drive with the original media files crashed so now i want to use my other disc for itunes. so how do i use the copies of the files and making itunes believe theese are the originals? so i won't have all songs in itunes twice with one of them not working and so i still have all playlists, ratings and playcounts with the new files?

    Actually you can do this. Select the song(s) (in a playlist) that you want to delete then hit option + delete. This deletes the track(s) from library as well. You can also select a playlist and press option + delete and all of the songs that were in that playlist get deleted from the library.

  • How do I restore camera roll from a previous backup

    My wife's iphone was full so I looked how to delete many, many camera roll pictures without having to do them individually. I found out how to do it (not intuitive at all by the way) but I did it wrong, deleted her camera roll and  photostream.  Lost about 300 pics.  I backup the iphone to my computer so I'm thinking the camera roll has to be there in a previous backup.  How do I restore camera roll from a backup, at least 5 backups ago?
    It's not fun sleeping the garage.  Help!
    Thanks,
    Art

    Thanks for the response.
    Her phone is always backed up to the computer so I believe there is a backup prior to removing the pics.  I'm trying to find out how to go to an older backup to restore so I can find the camera roll pics.
