You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera, particularly before any update.
If you have failed to do this, then they are likely gone.
You can try restoring from backup.

  • TS1702 i have purchaced many apps from the app store, and now after updating my phone to iOS 6, the apps sitting in my library in iTunes wont transfer to my phone anymore? Says that the apps can not be found. The appstore says i have no bought apps either

    I have previously bout about 30-40 apps from the app store. After a recent update to the newest version of iOS (and a reset back to factory standards), i find that i cant put any of the apps from my iTunes library, back onto my phone!? When i try, it says that the apps location cant be found!?  I tried going into the app store and in the app section going into 'Purchaces', in the hope that i could just re-install them from there (because i have already paid for them), but in there, it tells me that there are NO apps in my purchaces list!?  This is quite concerning because i have spent quite a bit of money on these apps, that now seem to be un-usable?!   Ican still put all my music on my phone through iTunes liuke normal, but Podcasts are doing the same thing as the apps?! Can someone please help me, or suggest what to do because im really getting frustrated.  I really like my iPhone, but if this is what is going to keep happening, i think ill change to an Android phone. . . . .

    Thanks too all the people who responded. . . . (noone)
    Got it sorted though. Seems that Apple has issues with multiple apple id's.
    Seems i had to somehow remember and use the original id i had when i first bought my 1st iPhone. . . .
    Even after that it was extremely hard to get my apps back on my PC.
    If anyone else has the same problem. . . .email Apple. Cya.

  • HT1414 How do you recover your security code when purchasing extra moves on games

    How do you recover your security code when purchasing extra moves on a game?

    Do you mean the passcode for Settings > General > Restrictions so that you can turn in-app purchases back 'on', or something else ?
    If the Restrictions code then was it on the iPad when you last backed up ? If not then you can restore to that backup and it should be removed. If it was on the iPad when you last backed up then the only way to remove it is to reset the iPad back to factory defaults and you can then re-sync your content back to the iPad - you won't be able to restore to the backup as that will keep the code in place.
    If you mean a different code ... ?

    Hey joshuafromisr,
    If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:

  • HT4527 I transeferred my itunes to a new computer via external hard drive, however over 4000 plus songs have a ! mark beside it and they cannt be played as itunes states that the location can not be found.  how do i fix this so all my music can be played.

    Hi
    I recently moved my itunes to a new computer by using a external hard drive.
    However my itunes music is not all playable.  over 4000 songs have a ! mark and when tried to be played or copied to ipod or iphone, it says that this song cannot be found and asks to locate it. 
    How do i fix this problem so that all my songs are available in itunes

    It is probably best to start over. These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

  • How do you recover your restrictions password

    I want to recover my restrictions password without restoring it back to factory defalt settings

    Phily. That is not try as reported by many users. Restoring from backup does restore the Restrictions Passcode
    The following also states:
    iTunes: About iOS backups
    Keychain (this includes email account passwords, Wi-Fi passwords, and passwords you enter into websites and some other applications. If you encrypt the backup with iOS 4 and later, you can transfer the keychain information to the new device. With an unencrypted backup, you can restore the keychain only to the same iOS device. If you are restoring to a new device with an unencrypted backup, you will need to enter these passwords again.)
    It appears that the Users Guide is misleading or it does not apple to the Restrictions Passcode.

  • How do you recover your backup to a new MacBook?

    Okay, so now my TC is connected and I have this great backup going on. I am mainly using this as a full machine backup and not really as an individual file recovery tool (its a nice bonus, but not a frequent need of mine). So, if my MacBook does crash, or get damaged or stolen, how would I actually use this TC backup?
    I would likely buy a new MacBook (different processor) or a MacBook Air. Can I recover my entire HD structure to a new computer? Does it somehow recover everything but system files so I don't corrupt the OS? (the low level peripheral support would be different for a new machine).
    Wondering if on a new machine the iTunes and iPhoto (my two heavy use applications) will recover effortlessly or if I'll be struggling to get those back up.
    Figured it is good to ask now. Before it happens!
    Thanks!

    Wow. That is a great article gglockner, thanks much for sharing it.
    It addresses a real concern of mine which is that when I bought my MacBook, I was only able to get the 80GB hard drive...which is quickly filling up with myPhoto images. So, according to the article, I can just pop in a new hard drive, format it, and restore from my TC. That is a HUGE relief if it really works! (and if not, I'd have my old hard drive that I can put back in anyway) +While we're on this tangent, any idea what type of hard drive I should buy for my MacBook if I decide to upgrade its capacity?+
    However, my initial question is still not addressed. What if I have to buy new hardware. The processor and some components will certainly be different on a newer MacBook then mine, or maybe even if I splurged for an Air or Pro. Can I restore to a new machine all together? (which is the MOST LIKELY scenario if my MacBook were to get stolen while traveling, for instance)
    Thanks!

  • How do you recover your 4-digit security code?

    Recently my LG Optimus Zone 2 was bricked, and in order to replace it, I went and got a new one of the exact model. The problem is, I signed up for Verizon Wireless about a year or two ago, and I can't remember my 4-digit security code, so I'm unable to place my old number on my new phone.
    Due to my new phone being the only phone I have that works currently, I cannot call anyone without authenticating it, and I require my 4-digit security code to do so. Can anyone help out?

    Last 4 of account or SSN or phone number?
