How to retrieve photos you didn't back up?

I recently bought an iPhone 5c and i love it. I went to the beach and took a bunch of photos with my friends and the next day i plugged my phone into the computer to sync music. I clicked something that that had to do with backing up or transferring data. My phone shut off and when it turned back on, i had pictures from april that i took on my previous iPhone 4. I thought it would transfer music on to my new phone instead of wiping out my current data. I did not have photo stream turned on, but is there anyway i can get my beach pictures back?

no official way but you can check if some of the computers who claim to be able to can deliver
recover deleted data from iphone

  • How to retrieve photos & messages from old back-up without loosing current photos & messages

    I gave my old iphone to my technophobic mum. She used it happily until it died early this year. I gave her another iphone, but I think that I set it up as a new iphone on her itunes account. she has been using it for a few weeks, but can't send MMS messages. I got her to plug it into her computer & itunes prompts her to set up as new iphone or restore from last back up, (which it says was nov 2014). However she has messages & photos on this new iphone. Can I merge all her new messages & photos with the old back-up messages & photos & have them all?

    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera - ASAP as with any other digital camera, and especially before restoring the iPhone with iTunes or before erasing all content and settings direct on the iPhone.
    With no import and no iPhone backup, the photos are gone.

    How to retrieve photos from the iCloud

    icloud only stores photos in backups (or in a special case, when using photo stream).  If you have turned on backup and made sure the camera roll is turned on (only photos from camera roll are backed up), then you can get photos back by performing a restore.  But note that users should always sync photos to a computer to archive them, relying on icloud is not foolproof.

    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

  • I have a LaCie external hard disk. I do not know how to retrieve photos from iphoto that have disappeared. I do not know how to use Time Machine

    I have a LaCie external hard drive. I also have Time Machine. I somehow have "lost" almost all my 5,000+ photos from iPhoto 8.1.2. I would appreciate someone giving me directions on how to retrieve the photos from the external hard drive or Time Machine.
    The last thing that I did that is different from my normal routine was to trash duplicate music tunes from iTunes. I cannot figure out how that would have caused my photos to disappear.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    I remember being cautioned to never do anything with the iPhoto Library. Should I have clicked on the iPhoto Library and then Restore?
    I do not know "how" items are being placed in the LaCie external drive, just that it shows a backup running about every hour. I have taken a snapshot of the Time Machine Preferences I would you to see. Maybe that would answer this question.
    In March 2011 I had to have hard drive on my iMac replaced. I had been using a Seagate external drive for backups. However I was not using Time Machine. When the Apple guru was helping me restore all my files etc on the new hard drive he was not familiar with Seagate and recommended I purchase this LaCie and use Time Machine. I never had any problem retrieving items from the Seagate backup. It was very straightforward. As I mentioned previously, I just don't have a clue with the LaCie and Time Machine.
    I hope this is not TMI.

  • How to retrieve photos directly from the iPhoto library?

    I have over 18 GB and rising of photos in my iPhoto library. Suppose I had to change to a Windows machine or for some other reason I could not access my photos via iPhoto. Fanciful I know, but I am not so much concerned with the probability of something going wrong but with the calamity that would result if something did go wrong. I note that some years ago Microsoft changed the file structure of their Word files from a proprietary one to an open access one to allow easy access to the text. So how could my photos be retrieved directly from the iPhoto library?
    Perhaps the answer is to send the library to a tech firm like the ones that retrieve data from damaged hard drives and they could pick off the photos and return them as a set of image files in a folder. But is it actually possible for anyone to do that?

    If, at some time in the future, you want to get all of your original image files onto an external HD in folders representing the Events in your iPhoto Library here are the simple steps to follow:
    1  - select all of the Events in your library.
    2 - use the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option and setup the export as shown in this screenshot:
    3 - click on the Export button, select the destination where you want to save these folders and continue.

  • HT4623 how to retrieve data that was not backed up

    SOS!  Being a novice SmartPhone consumer, I tried to safeguard my data on my iPhone 4 only to lose all the data from the date of purchase, is there any way possible that the data (pictures and contacts) are not a total eternal lose?

    Today I completed a software update for my iPhone 5 without backing it up because I did not receive a warning that all my data would be erased and so, did not realize it would be an issue. Upon completing the update, I realized my mistake but figured it was too late to revert the damage and continued with the restoration of my phone to its factory settings.
    After completing the update, I realized just how much data was lost (including important notes with financial information and images and videos of recent trips around Europe). Now I am desperate to try to recover the data deleted in the update. Is there any chance at all that I can recover something? The notes and videos are most important to me. I am also missing many Messages but that is less important to me.
    Can anyone please help?
    Any response is greatly appreciated!
    Here's the official article from Apple on how to update your iOS.
    Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
    Before you update
    Back up your device to iCloud or iTunes.
    That's virtually the very first thing it says to do.
    There's no excuse to not have your data backed up prior to updating.  Tell me, what would you have done if, instead of this being an issue where you updated your iOS and had an error, if instead you had dropped your iPhone and it was damaged beyond repair, or if it was stolen or lost, etcetera.
    Perhaps you'd been backing up to iCloud and didn't realize it?  Maybe the missing Notes data is linked to a Mail account?  You might be able to reconstruct the data, but it's going to be an uphill battle.
    Best of luck.  Make sure to backup more frequently in the future.  There are two types of people in the world; those who have lost data, and those that will lose data.  The only difference is how prepared you are for that event.

  • Is there any way to recover photos if you didn't back up using iTunes or Photostream?

    I'm really really hoping there is a way around this...
    I tried to update my iPhone 4S to the iOS6 operating system and when it restarted it went into recovery mode. I've only had this phone for a few months but never turned on Photostream (never knew you had to manually go in and turn it on for it to update to the icloud) or synced it with iTunes since I use my phone mostly for work. I just had a baby 2 weeks ago and while I was in the hospital I took photos with my iPhone. Now Apple is telling me the only way to get my phone on again and working properly is to restore it in iTunes on my PC, but I'll have lost all the photos I took. I've contacted their support twice about it and keep getting the, sorry you're SOL. I'm pretty devastated and even though I emailed some of the photos to family, I won't have all of them and I'm very very upset that Apple wouldn't have some sort of prompt to back it up BEFORE this happens. It seems I'm not the only one who has had this unfortunate situation happen to them based on what I've read. The most irritating part is I've done two other software updates with this phone in the past and had no issues until this half-baked system update. Is there anything else you can do to either recover the photos or get the phone out of the recovery mode without restoring? It's still under the 1 year warranty, but Apple says there is nothing that can be done to recover the photos.

    WIll the window software Wondershare Dr.Fone not recover the photos from the phone if you download or upload it to iTunes? It states it does?

  • How to retrieve photos from my apple ID that was backed up by another apple ID from itunes

    so i plugged in my iphone 5 to my laptop and then open itunes then suddenly it restores my mothers backup file from my computer then my photos was replaced by my mothers photos. how can i retrieve my photos again ?

    The photos are on the ipod.  Photo sync will erase them.  I need a way to extract them from the ipod, or to.extract them from the ipod backup that is who knows where on my PC.
    I've been searching for an app to do that with no luck.  They all seem to want a newer OS than is on my ipod yet I have the most recent update installed.

  • How to retrieve contacts from a previous back up?

    How can you retrieve contacts from a previous backup?

    Actually, this is correct.
    I didn't write they were not included in the backup, just why they are part of the backup.
    -> iTunes: About iOS backups
    "iTunes will back up the following information
    Contacts* and Contact Favorites (regularly sync contacts to a computer or cloud service such as iCloud to back them up).
    * Your contacts are part of the backup to preserve recent calls and favorites lists. Back up your contacts to a supported personal information manager (PIM), iCloud, or another cloud-based service to avoid any potential contact data loss."

  • How to retrieve photos from water-damaged iPhone

    Last week (Wednesday), I my iPhone got wet while I was out of the country.  I immediately put it in a grocery bag of rice (no ziplocks or tupperware available), and put it on top of the refrigerator.  I left it there until the end of my trip on Saturday.  When I got home, I put it on the charger and left it until the local AT&T store opened on Monday.  They weren't able to help me, but suggested I go to the phone repair place across the street where, for $25, he opened it up and dried it out.  It did not come back on for him, but he suggested that I take it home and put it on my charger and see if it will come back on. 
    Just to be clear, I am not all that worried about salvaging the phone.  I'm pretty sure it is irretrievably damaged due to the length of time it was in the water and the fact that it was ON and I checked to see if it worked after 24 hours (that's how long they told me to keep it in rice).  I have insurance and can replace the phone.  Everything else was backed up.  What I DO need, is to retrieve the work-related photos that are on the phone that did not get backed up while I was on my trip.  I do not use the cloud, so 3 days worth of photos are on my phone (luckily I backed up before I left the country). I did some surfing and found some steps that say they can sometimes retrieve data from a wet/dead phone, so I tried to turn it on one more time, and was ecstatic to see the little Apple symbol appear followed by the "unlock" screen, but then the phone died again. 
    This gave me hope, so I ran back down to the repair shop and he could repeatedly get it to come on, but it shows the battery is dead and it will not stay on long enough to retrieve the data.  He swapped the battery and got it to come on long enough to start the back up but it got about 1/2 way through before it shut itself off again.  The battery in it is the original and it is dead.  He suggested I plug it in and keep trying to get it to come on long enough to dowload the pictures.  I have it plugged in, but it doesn't appear to be charging at all.  Is there something more I can do?  I've seen other posts that suggest keeping it in the rice for over a week.  I've even seen software that says it can retrieve data even from a dead phone ("Wondershare Dr. Fone").  Is there anything I can do to get those pictures?
    Thanks!

    Search the internet.  This is way beyond the scope of this forum.
    Best of luck.
