How to get my camera roll back from iCloud?

I restored my iPhone and now I need to get my camera roll back from iCloud..please tell me how to do that..Thank you

That's true. You can only restore complete backups.
I got my pictures back, the ugly way though. What I did:
- made an iCloud backup of my phone (only 2GB instead of the earlier 4GB, because the camera roll was empty)
- restored my last iTunes backup, this was a month old. It was made right before i upgraded to iOS5.
- My pictures were back on my iPhone so i downloaded them to my PC.
- Then I restored the iCloud backup from my phone. The one I made before I restored the iTunes backup.
The pictures where gone again, but at least I had them on my PC.
I don't trust iCloud backups anymore. The backup itself holds all your settings and remembers which apps and data you had installed. But it went wrong when it had to redownload the pictures from the cloud. It was a hard lesson learned. From now on I'll backup my pictures once in a while. I was used to what Apple promises: that everything "just works". No, it doesn't.

  • HT4759 How do I restore camera roll photos from iCloud

    I'd like to get some of my memory back on my iPhone.  I have lots of room on my ioud account but I'm not sure how it works.  If I delete photos from my phone will they subsequently delete from iCloud on my next backup.  And if not, how do I then view all of my iCloud only photos?
    Thanks in advance for the help

    icloud storage will not help.  if you want to free up space you should import the photos to a computer.

    how do I get my camera roll back following iOS 8 upgrade?

    Then Apple should tell owners about this before the upgrade, so we know what to do. This is very typical of Apple, who assume owners are geniuses and can get themselves out this kind of issue. You say I should be importing pics to my Mac, why should I? I import the pics I want for the longer time and don't import others that I want to keep on my iPhone. What I don't expect is for an upgrade to delete stuff without a clear warning. I will be taking this up with Apple. I remain pretty fed-up.

  • How to get password as string back from encrypted password byte array.

    Hi All,
    I am storing encrypted password and enc key in the database.(Code included encryptPassword method for encryption and validatePassword method for validating of password). Problem is that for some reason i need to show user's password to the user as a string as he/she entered. But i am not able to convert the encrypted password from D/B to original String.
    Tell me if any body know how to get the string password back from the encrypted password byte array after seeing my existing encryption code.
    //********* Code
    private Vector encryptPassword(byte[] arrPwd)
    try
    // parameter arrPwd is the password as entered by the user and to be encrypted.
    byte[] encPwd = null;
    byte[] key = null;
    /* Generate a key pair */
    KeyPairGenerator keyGen = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("DSA", "SUN");
    SecureRandom random = SecureRandom.getInstance("SHA1PRNG", "SUN");
    keyGen.initialize(1024, random);
    KeyPair pair = keyGen.generateKeyPair();
    PrivateKey priv = pair.getPrivate();
    PublicKey pub = pair.getPublic();
    /* Create a Signature object and initialize it with the private key */
    Signature dsa = Signature.getInstance("SHA1withDSA", "SUN");
    dsa.initSign(priv);
    /* Update and sign the data */
    dsa.update(arrPwd, 0, 12);
    /* Now that all the data to be signed has been read in, generate a signature for it */
    encPwd = dsa.sign();
    /* Now realSig has the signed password*/
    key = pub.getEncoded();
    Vector vtrPwd = new Vector(2);
    vtrPwd.add(encPwd);
    vtrPwd.add(key);
    return vtrPwd;
    catch (Exception e)
    private boolean validatePassword(byte[] arrPwd,byte[] encPwd,byte[] key) throws RemoteException
    try
    // arrPwd is the byte array of password entered by user.
    // encPwd is the encrypted password retreived from D/B
    // key is the array of key through which the password was encrypted and stored.
    X509EncodedKeySpec KeySpec = new X509EncodedKeySpec(key);
    KeyFactory keyFactory = KeyFactory.getInstance("DSA", "SUN");
    PublicKey pubKey = keyFactory.generatePublic(KeySpec);
    /* Encrypt the user-entered password using the key*/
    Signature sig = Signature.getInstance("SHA1withDSA", "SUN");
    sig.initVerify(pubKey);
    /* Update and sign the password*/
    sig.update(arrPwd, 0, 12);
    return sig.verify(encPwd);
    catch (Exception e)
    Help upto any extent would be appreciated.

    Hi All,
    I am storing encrypted password and enc key in the
    database.(Code included encryptPassword method for
    encryption and validatePassword method for validating
    of password). Problem is that for some reason i need
    to show user's password to the user as a string as

    encrypted password from D/B to original String.No, you are not encrypting the password in your code, you are merely signing it.
    Tell me if any body know how to get the string
    password back from the encrypted password byte array
    after seeing my existing encryption code.It is impossible to retrieve the original text out of a signature.
    You should read up on some encryption basics in order to understand the difference between signing and encrypting. Then you can find examples of how to encrypt something here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/guide/security/jce/JCERefGuide.html.
    Actually there is one class specifically for keeping keys secure, KeyStore http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/security/KeyStore.html

  • How do I get camera roll pictures from icloud that have been backed up and then deleted from phone?

    I didn't have enough storage on my iphone 5 to download ios7.  I backed up my phone to icloud then deleted photos on my camera roll.  When I got ios7 and went to update from icloud, the camera roll picutres didnt come back.  How do I get them back?

    Camera roll photos may take a while to repopulate your new phone, are you sure you have given it long enough.

  • TS4036 How do I get my ringtones & purchases back from Icloud??

    I don't know how to use Icloud at all, but I went in to At&t and they got me a different iphone then said they backed up all my ringtones & purchases to icloud, how do I get it back? When I go to icloud.com I can't even sign in anywhere... Help!

    If the AT&T store backed up your old phone to iCloud, you have to restore your phone to your backup to recover data such as messages, email accounts, camera roll photos, app data and ringtones, as well as your settings.  This has to be done during the initial phone setup.  If your phone is already set up, you'll have to go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  Then go back through the setup screens on the phone again, and when given the option choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below).  Be sure you phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.

  • How can I move Camera Roll photos from my old iPhone 3G to my new iPhone 4?

    Hi,
    I have just got my new iPhone 4 and I'm very happy with it, really a great step-up from my old 3G. I do have one question though, in my old iPhone 3G I have about 300 photos in the camera and I would like to export them and then import them to the camera roll in my new iPhone 4...is this possible?
    Thanks in advance for your input guys!
    //Richard

    Only if you restore your new phone from the backup of your old phone. Camera roll photos are included in your iphone backup. However, its not wise to keep photos in your camera roll. They should be imported to your computer on a regular basis. From there, you can then sync them back to your phone, but not back to your camera roll.

  • How to copy non-camera roll photos from iphone

    Hi
    I have several hundred photos on iphone that I've lost on my laptop after hard drive failure. Apple store helped to copy camera roll photos to CD but can't help with the others. I REALLY want to get copies of these, even if they're not quite top resolution.
    Any suggestions about ways to copy photo folders off iphone? Battery problems mean I ned to do this quickly so iphone can be wiped for testing/software reinstallment.
    Many thanks
    Sue

    Sue,
    When you plug your phone into your Windows computer Windows should prompt you what application do you want to use to import the photos from your "digital camera" that you just plugged into your computer. It will display a list of compatible applications. Pick one, when it opens it should show the photos on the phone/camera and allow you to import them. Hope this helps!

  • How can I get my phone contacts back from iCloud?

    For an unknown reason, all my phone contacts got deleted. I have a back up in my Mac Book Pro but haven't found the way to get them my iPhone back. How can I achive so?

    If they are on your MacBook, open contact on your Mac, click on All Contacts on the left-hand side, click on a single contact to the right and press Command-A to select them all (they should all be highlighted).  Then go to File>Export>Export vCard and save the file on your desktop.  Then email this file to yourself, open it on your iPhone and tap the attachment to import them back to your phone and to iCloud.
    If you have multiple accounts on your phone you might want to first go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) and be sure this is set to iCloud.  This will ensure that the contacts will be added to iCloud when you import them.

  • Is it possible to get your camera roll back on am ipod touch if itunes swiped it; from restoring it?

    if so how please help there is alot of important things on there!:( its an ipod touch 4th generation!

    I do not understand everything you are saying. What is "itunes wiped it; from restoring it" mean?
    If you synced your iPod after you took the photos the photos should be in the iPod backup and you should be able to get them back by restoring your iPod from backup.

    I was having problems with the Scanner and Camera wizard saying no device available, so I enabled the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) service. I still see no photos, but at least there is an iphone device.

    If you have DCOM errors in the System Event Log that reference StiSvc, then make sure the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) service is set to Manual or Automatic, instead of Disabled.
