How to recover a lost photo library on iPhone after ios 5?

Hi guys,
I know that there has been hundred of questions regarding lost photo's after installing ios 5 but I am struggling to find anything that relates to my situation.
I installed ios 5 onto my iPhone 4 on saturday afternoon, but before I did this I backed it up. Everything seemed to work ok, I backed up to my mac rather than iCloud as I hadnt yet installed Lion.
When I went to use my phone I noticed that everything was still there (apps, contacts, camera roll etc) except for another photo library that was in my photo app (the library was the photo's from my previous iPhone). I cant find these pics anywhere. I have tried using the back up twice but they still arent there!!
does anyone have any idea of where they might be or have they been lost forever?
any help would be greatly appreciated.
many thanks

The photo sync is one way - computer to iphone.
You ould have to e-mail them to yourself. When you sync photos to your iphone the current pics will be deleted.
The iphone is not a storage device, it simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.

HT201302 How do I backup my photos on my iphone after I updated my software?

How do I backup my photos on my iphone after I updated my software? It is asking me to restore my iphone but I need to back it up first.

After? If you're being asked to restore you phone, and you didn't previously back it up, it's too late now. You can't back it up once it's in recovery mode.

How to sync pictures from "Photo Library" on iphone 4 to computer to manage them?

This is my senerio! I recently got an iPhone 4...before this phone, i had a Droid through Verizon. Yet, this iPhone 4 service is still through Verizon. When i got the iPhone, i wanted all my pictures from my old phone, the Droid, on this iPhone. The people at Verizon transferred them over. Those pictures were put into the "Photo Library" of my iPhone. I only have say...about maybe 200 pictures. They were all duplicated, many many times! So now i have over 800 of the same pictures in my "Photo Library" how do i delete the duplicates?? I've noticed i cannot delete pictures using the trash can through "Photo Library" you have to be in the Camera Roll to do so. Here are my big questions...
1. How do i delete pictures off my phone through "Photo Library" without deleting them all?!
2. How do i get the photos from "Photo Library" onto my computer, or iTunes to be able to manage them?!
I want to pick and choose then delete. I do not want to delete my WHOLE Photo Library.
Again, remember, i never got these already photos from a computer, i got them from another phone!
Someone, please help me! This is so ridiculous!

How can i reinstall the photo library on iphone 4

I deleted the photo library off the i phone... it contained more photos than my camera roll and the photos could not be deleted from it. Is there a way to get this back on the phone?

There are no albums listed on the photos tab. The photo library was already on the phone...not a created album..thanks though. I have tried to restore the phone as well and it did not put it on there... I really want to create an album on the phone that holds all the photos that can not be deleted off

Help, How can I recover my lost photos from my iPhone 4 without backup?

I have a lot of photos stored in my iPhone 4, but yesterday, I pressed the wrong button and my entire photos was deleted, very sadly. There are many import photos that stored for 1 year. I hope to recover them backup, I tried many data recovery tool, but it won’t recognize my iPhone 4, why and how can I recover my sms? If there any other tool can help? Thanks.

Even if you haven’t backed up your iPhone with iTunes manually, iTunes might have backed up it automatically each time you sync your iPhone with iTunes. If you have enabled iCloud, every time, your iPhone is connected to Wifi and a power source, and the screen is locked, iCloud will automatically backup your photos. So try to restore the deleted photos from iTunes or iCloud backup first if the backups were created before the deletion.

If you don’t want to restore your iPhone with an out-of-date backup, erase all the content and settings on your iPad, and go back to an older iOS version, try to extract your iPhone photos from your iTunes or iCloud backup with the iPhone backup extractor.
Other than restoring from iTunes or iCloud backup, there are still at least 3 other solutions for you to recover deleted photos from iPhone:
Extracting from previous iTunes backup;
Retrieving directly from iPhone;
Copying from other backups.
As for recovering SMS, see this iPhone SMS recovery tutorial.

How to recover from lost notes on my iPhone 4?

Today, I believe that I lost a VERY long "note" on my iPhone when my battery died. Either that or I deleted it by accident.
I figured I would plug my iPhone to my laptop to get the latest version of "note" back.
Two things came up:
1 - I had to update my iTunes to the latest version
2 - Problem: my iTunes does not open.
How do I proceed?
Thanks,

Download iTunes 11.1.1 directly from Apple.

For the recovery, you may find them in your iTunes backup. If you have not a backup, a third easy iPhone recovery utility is necessary. Please follow the blog to get your notes back.

HT201077 My Photo Stream is no longer adding photos to my PC. How do I get my photos from my iPhone 5 to my PC's Photo Stream?

My Photos Stream is no longer adding photos to my PC. How do I get my photos from my iPhone 5 ios 7.0.4 to my PC's Photo Stream?

Hi jmy13,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Try these steps first if the Photo Stream on your PC is not updating:
you can't connect to the Internet, iCloud Photos will not be able to send or receive updates to My Photo Stream. If necessary, troubleshoot your Internet connection on your PC, Mac, or iOS devices.
Open the iCloud Control Panel and make sure that you're signed in to the same iCloud account that you're using on your other supported devices.
In Windows 8.1, go to the Start screen, click the down arrow in the lower-left corner, then click the iCloud app.
In Windows 8, go to the Start screen, and click the iCloud tile.
In Windows 7, choose Start menu > All Programs > iCloud > iCloud.
Make sure that iCloud Photos or Photo Stream is turned on in the iCloud Control Panel. Click the Options button and make sure that My Photo Stream is turned on.
Close and reopen the iCloud Control Panel.
Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it does reinitialize your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.

The iPhone Photo Recovery allows you to recover data by two ways: Recover from iOS devices and recover from iTunes backup. No matter which way you choose, the first step is to download and install the software on your computer. Then follow the way below to get back your data.
Part 1: Directly recover photo from iPhone 5/4S, iPad mini, iPad with Retina display, The New iPad, iPad 2 & iPod touch 5
article: How to recover deleted photos from iPhone.
Part 2: Recover Data Directly from iPhone 4/3GS, iPad 1 & iPod touch 4
Part 3: Extract iTunes Backup to Recover Previous Data for All iOS Devices
This data recovery mode lets you recover not only existing data in the backup, but also those data deleted from your device before you made the backup, as long as they were not overwritten.
Note: Don't sync your device with iTunes when you realize that you've lost data, or the iTunes backup file will be updated after the sync, if you want to recover them through this recovery mode.

How do I import my photo library to iPhoto?

I recently got a new mac and a new iPhone, so I imported my photos from iphoto which was my old camera roll and transfered it to my new iPhone. On my iPhone I now have three albums, Camera Roll and Photo Library and another album that is the same as photo library. First can I delete photo library or the other album? Second my more important question, how do I import my photo library from my iphone to my new mac? Thanks

It has said this for about a month now and I would just hide iPhoto since I could not close it. I have not needed to turn off my computer until now. But now it is a problem because I can not upgrade my computer
