HT4859 restored my iphone 5 from iCloud back up. All my photos from my old phone are missing. How do I get them back?

I recently got my iPhone 5 replaced. Before erasing the contents on my old iPhone 5 I backed up to iCloud. When I restored all my photos from my old phone are missing. How do I recover?

Many users have lost photos while preforming a restore from backup or upgrading the iOS. Recall, only photos in the camera roll are backed up to iCloud. There is a way to turn backups for camera roll on/off, perhaps these users had camera roll turned off.
See:
Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage, tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
IMPORTANT...
Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream - and then moved into permanent albums for storage. If using Photo stream, but sure to move the received photos to a permanent album. If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.
If you haven't been saving photos except relying on iCloud to store them in a backup, then that is risky, as many users have discovered. I'm afraid I have no advice in this case - there is no "cure".

I synced my iPod to a new music folder and now all of my games (Klondike, Vortex, etc) are gone - how do I get them back?

I synced my iPod to a new music folder and now all of my games (Klondike, Vortex, etc) are gone - how do I get them back? Please help! Thanks!

Aren't those the default games that come with the iPod Classic? If so, they won't be in your iTunes library, but only on your iPod Classic itself as they are built in the iPod's software.

Check the image exceptions: Tools > Options > Content: Load Images: Exceptions 
You can see the permissions for the server in the current tab in Tools > Page Info > Permissions 
*A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (Site Identification icon) on the left side of the location bar.
*A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
*Open the Media tab of the "Page Info" window.
*Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.
*If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

I've re-installed Lion using the cmd-r/boot re-install option and now all iLife apps are missing, how do I get them back?

Hi Folks,
after about 10 hours of usage, my new (and I mean new and expensive) MacBook Pro refused to boot. The support folks were good and as I hadn't yet created and files on the machine suggested I just did (as suggested by apple) a wipe and re-install as described in the subject line.
Now I have no iPhoto, no iDVD and a few other apps I don't really care about. What can I do to get them back.
please help, loseing the will to live here after trawling 2 hours of old posts
best regards,
Sam.

Hi Twitty,
hmm, I knew I was missing something fairly obvious. I went into AppStore and the apps were there with an "accept" option rather than a price. I've started the download.
I've no idea if this means I'll be charged or not. I never got a screen with a price on it so hopefully not.
thanks for your quick response,
Sam.

If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.

Some of my purchased apps icons are missing. how do i get them back on my ipad?

On my ipad, some of my purchased apps icons are missing. The app store indicates that the apps were purchased so i cannot install them again. How do I get the icons back?

- Are the apps missing or are the icons white?
- If missing have yu tried using the Spotlight search and trying to find them?
- Have you tried downloading them on your iPad and then syncing?
- Have you tried deleting them on the computer and then syncing? That might also delete them from the iPad so you can redownal them
- Have you tried reetting the iPad?
Reset iPad: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

The page numbers on my e-mail are missing, how do I get them back?

The page numbers are missing on my e-mail page and I have looked into help and cannot find the answer. I use to have 25 messages per page and now it is continuous and very annoying.

Hi yraceburu1909,
From your description, I understand that your webmail provider used to display 25 emails per page, but now it is showing all the emails in a continuous form, where you can scroll down the page.
It appears that your webmail provider is Yahoo!, is this correct?
Yahoo! recently redesigned their webmail, and it is the only version available to users, so there is not much that can be done. Please understand that this is not a browser related issue, so Firefox is not at fault.
Please see [http://news.softpedia.com/news/The-New-Yahoo-Mail-Gets-Infinite-Scrolling-Preview-Pane-to-the-Right-358793.shtml this link] for more information about the Yahoo! Mail redesign.
I hope that this information is useful. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Thanks!!

All of a sudden, after installing "avery" program, then deleting it because it inserted "ask" search feature, NOW I am missing the line at the top that has the WEB ADDRESS, BACK BUTTON, HOME BUTTON ETC. NONE OF THESE ARE THERE, HOW DO I GET THEM BACK?

I have Windows XP.
my home page is Google. this is coming up, but without the web address area and all the buttons at top such as back arrow, forward arrow, refresh, etc . all those things that are usually there are not there. I cannot type in a web address. I can only get to an address by typing it into the google search window in middle of the page, even if I know the web address because there is nowhere to type the web address! How do I get this important line back on the screen!! thanks !

My back button, print, and address bar are missing how do I get them back?

tool bar went missing for unknown reason, no back button, no print button no address bar or bookmarks.

''My back button, print, and address bar are missing''
Use "Alt" to make sure the menu bar is visible, then View > Toolbars > ... -- make sure that the Navigation bar is checkmarked, if tabs on top is confusing uncheck that, if you want to see menus and title bar make sure menu bar is check-marked.
If things don't stay put on the toolbars then

Only way to get it back is to restore your phone from a backup, if those pics were included in that backup.
But most likely those pics are gone.
What you should've done was import http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 the pics to your computer and after you restored from your old backup, you could sync those new pics to your phone via itunes.

If you are running Lion then all drivers are distributed through Software Update. You do not need to install anything, other than to install the printer in System Preferences > Print & Scan. If you already added the printer while it was connected using USB, you might want to delete it and set it up again wirelessly to avoid confusion. Or, give them two distinct names e.g. "Photosmart D110 (USB)" and "Photosmart D110 (wireless)".
All scanning functions are now performed using Preview, but you can also access the scanner through the same Print & Scan preference pane, or with Image Capture.
This HP document may help explain how driver software is distributed now:
