    You didn't import all of your pics regularly?  Particularly before an update?
    They may very well be gone.
    You can try restoring from backup.

    I have purchased an apple tv and wish to sync this with my othere devices, how do i do this?

    Welcome to the Apple Community Pfarrant.
    What exactly are you trying to do. You can use homesharing to view content from iTunes on a computer or AirPlay to view content from an iOS mobile device.
    The following article(s) may help you.
    Understanding Home Sharing
    Setting Up Home Sharing On A Computer
    Basic AirPlay: Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    Mirroring: When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), swipe from the bottom of the screen, tap the AirPlay icon and choose your Apple TV from the list of devices (iOS 7 or better) or double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices (pre-iOS7)

  • HT5570 My six-year old grandson appears to be able to make purchases on the TV without having to enter the password and yet every other device i use (e.g. iPad, iPhone, iPod) is password protected. How is that possible?

    My six-year old grandson appears to be able to make purchases on the TV without having to enter the password and yet every other device i use (e.g. iPad, iPhone, iPod) is password protected. How is that possible when I have to use my password to access such services on all other devices?

    Having AppleTV remember the password is optional.
    Logout of iTunes store, log back in and hopefully next time you come to purchase you'll be prompted for your password but decline the option to remember it.  You might also want to look out of parental controls on the unit.

  • Apple recently merged all my devices so that if I miss messages or facetime calls on one device, they get forwarded to my other devices. how do I UNDO this so this no longer happens?

    If you don't want them to be unified, don't use the same Apple ID for FaceTime and iMessage on our devices.  Go to Settings>Messsages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a separate ID.  Do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

    How do I update my IPad if there is no software update button

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

  • TS1398 I am getting when manually entering wifi info of "Could not scan for wireless networks" wireless is working on other devices, how do I cure this?  The problem only began when I updated software on the phone.  Previously I had no problems with wifi.

    After updating software on Iphone (wifi worked fine before the software update) I  now can not get on wifi.  The phone with not find a working wifi network nor can I connect manually.  Wifi is working on other devices.  I have turned the phone on and off, turned the wifi router on and off and reset the iphone and down loaded updated software to the phone.  Nothing has worked.  Does anyone have an answer for this problem?

    Could this be the problem?
    iPhone 4 Modem Firmware : 3.0.04
    iPhone 4S Modem Firmware : 2.0.10
    Wifi is working on my iPhone 4, NOT on 4S -
    Why is my new 4S I got yesterday using a 2.0.10 firmware, isn't that old?! Isn't the newest 4.0+?
    I am so tired of trying to figure this out.
    The Wi-Fi addresses in the About settings are different on both phones too.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

    The software update option is not available under my general tab...now what

    The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases - you may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    You can then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button.
