How to re-download old photos from Photo Stream after computer stolen?

Hi, my laptop PC was stolen with several thousand of my pictures in it. Unfortunately, I hadn't kept a backup. Fortunately, iCloud Photo Stream kept a backup of the last 1,000 pictures for me. I can see those pictures in Photo Stream in my iPhone. A got a new laptop, I installed iCloud Control Panel, and it created a Photo Stream folder. It downloads the new pictures I take today. But it doesn't download the 1,000 old pictures. How can I download those old pictures?

I found a hack. Go in the My Photo Stream Album in the iPhone. Click Edit. Select the photos. Click Share to open the menu of options. Here I tried both options: Copy and Save to Camera Roll; I don't know which option is the one that actually worked. Then I went to the Camera Roll Album in my iPhone and the iPhone started copying photos from Photo Stream to the Camera Roll Album. I had to do this back and forth between Copy/Save and PhotoStream/CameraRoll a couple of times until the copying picked up; I don't know what are the distilled steps. Then I connected my iPhone to the laptop and saved the files as usual. I had to do this tedious process in chunks of hundreds as the iPhone was unable to get the 1,000 photos at once. That's how I was able to download all my photos from Photo Stream. Also, Photo Stream doesn't seem to remember the original filenames so the images are re-numbered.

  • Recovering photos from i-pod after computer crash

    help please someone i had the logic board go out on my i-book and lost my photos . they are still on my i-pod ,can they be recovered back to my computer somehow ? thanks Brett
    g4 i-book - 5th gen i-pod   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Download XnView! If there are still intact layers, the program will recognize them and this should at least give you the opportunity to save each of the layers to a separate file. That all of course assumes you saved with the Maximum Compatibility setting and do not have any fancies like smart objects or deep layer groups...

  • How do I restore old emails from recovered data after hard drive crash?

    Hi all - I used data rescue II to recover data from a crashed hard drive - seems to have worked pretty well, as the file structure seems to be mostly intact - now I'm trying to find the old emails and get them back in my inbox/sent mailboxes where they belong - any help is surely appreciated - thanks

    Hi Tommybanjo.
    Mail stores the messages in .emlx files, but you cannot import individual messages directly, only entire mailboxes. In order to import the recovered .emlx files back into Mail, they must be organized as if they were in an .mbox mailbox, i.e. they must be in a Messages folder within an .mbox folder. You may create a folder called Recovered.mbox, then a Messages folder within this folder, then put the .emlx files within the Messages folder, then import that.
    In Mail, do File > Import Mailboxes, choose Mail for Mac OS X as the data format, and follow the instructions. Note that Mail wants you to select the folder that contains the mailboxes to be imported (i.e. the folder where the .mbox folders to be imported reside), not the .mbox folders themselves nor the Messages folders within them.
    Given the circumstances, however, there could be something wrong with one or more of the recovered messages and that might cause the import to fail. If that’s the case, you may try organizing the recovered messages in several smaller mailboxes and try to identify the messages that Mail has trouble with. Alternatively, you may try using emlx to mbox Converter or Emailchemy to convert the .emlx files to standard mbox format, then import that in Mail as Other.

  • HT1766 Has anyone else had a problem with their phone after using the cable to upload photos from Camera stream to computer photo program?  My phone is frozen, cannot get into use phone, cannot connect to the Internet, and even APPLE is stumped.

    I only have my IPhone5 for two months and am very upset that now they may need to give me a new phone and lose anything that may not have been recently backed up by the phone.  Has anyone else had this problem?  How did you reseolve it?  Hard reboots did not help.

        jsavage9621,

  • How Do I Correct FF GUI From Not Opening After Computer Restart

    Every time I restart my Win8 and then FF, the FF GUI does not open (i.e. the browser window does not appear) although Task M shows FF as running. Only work around so far is to re-install FF (obviously using another browser to access the download install site). I tried disabling all add-ins and this had no affect. Even if I exit FF before restarting the computer, the same issue occurs. If I exit FF but do not restart the computer, FF will re-start normally, meaning the browser window appears.
    This started occurring a couple of weeks ago. At that time I did a System Restore back to a point before it started happening and that did not correct the issue.
    I also uninstalled FF keeping my settings but the issue remained when I re-installed FF. I even went to the extreme of uninstalling and not keeping my settings and then reinstalling and adding my add-ins and setting my options (a couple hours of work) and the issue still remained.
    Once it is open I see no problems with it or any add-ins.

  • HT201272 Cannot download previously deleted app iphoto. Other deleted apps re install exactly as manual says. Also, how can I delete unwanted photos from "photos" app, which were brought in via Dropbox? Ipad Air wi fi running ios 7 (my first apple product

    New to Apple, having fun with ipad Air, but geting frustrated with its weird ways.
    Deleted the iphoto app to clear out photos (yes, really). Now cannot download it again. Other deleted apps download exactly as the manual says but not iphoto. Can anyone suggest how to fix please? Also, cannot delete test photos from"photos" app, brought in from Dropbox. Can anyone tell me how to do this please?
    All help gratefully received.

    You should be able to redownload it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iPad - if it's not showing there (you haven't changed countries since buying the app ?) then check to see if it's hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    For the photos, if they are in the Camera Roll album in the Photos app then you can either delete them via the trashcan icon in the bottom right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the Select button top right in thumbnail view.

  • I accidentally deleted my photos; how do I download my files and photos from Adobe Online Storage?

    I accidentally deleted my photos; how do I download my files and photos from Adobe Online Storage?

    So i think backup online the the most effective way to protect data loss!
    If you found you have lost your important files, you can just download it from the online server.
    And if you delete your files from hard disk and cannot download it from online storage, there is still another way-data recovery software to recover your lost files.

  • HT4906 iPhoto only downloaded some of my photos from photo stream

    I have over 200 photos on photo stream but when I set up iPhoto only 51 of them downloaded. I thought perhaps only the more recent photos may have been downloaded but it's a mix of old and new. How can I get all photos from photo stream onto iPhoto and is iPhoto the best way to store photos on a MacBook Pro?

    Your photos stream on iCLoud contains the last 1000 photos or the last 30 days photos - on any device you will see local photos up to 1000 but only 1000 or the last 30 days (which ever is smaller) are available for other devices through iCloud

  • How do i move photos from photo library to camera roll

    how do i move photos from photo library to camera roll on ipod touch 4th generation

    I also had a similar problem with "photo library" and wondered how to do about copying my photos there to my computer. I was delighted when i succeeded moving my photos from my iphone4s "Photo library" to my "camera roll".
    I could do it using 3 apps: 1) fileExplorer 2) fileapp 3) dropbox
    Downloading these apps on my iphone devide and then Using 1) I was able to see my albums in "photolibrary" and open it in either 2) or 3). Opening it up in 2) fileapp, will give you the option to save in "camera roll" with the top right hand corner button. 
    After saving it in camera roll, I will be able to easily copy them out from camera roll from DCIM folder onto your computer.
    I am not a comp savvy person, and I managed.

  • Download Photo from Photo Stream shared by others

    How can I download the photos from Photo Stream shared by my friend to my iPhoto Library?

    I could not find the photos in both "Photos" view or "Event" view.
    You have to look in the "iCloud" view. It is in the "Shared" section. This section may be hidden. Hover the mouse to the right of the caption "Shared". there is a hidden Show/Hide control.
