HT4859 retrieving photos from lost phone

hi i have lost my iphone 4s. i think my icloud was on and i need to retrieve my photos on my laptop. is there anyway i can do it.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The best you can achieve on your laptop is to download any photos you had in photostream. To do that you simply need to enable photostream in the iCloud settings on the laptop.

All of a sudden my photostream on my iPad is down to 102 photos from 900, and it won't retrieve photos from my phone anymore

All of a sudden my photostream on my iPad is down to 102 photos from 900, and it won't retrieve photos from my phone anymore.
Does anyone know what's going on? TIA

PhotoStream is a convenient way to have photos available on multiple devices but it is not a long term storage or backup site for photos. There is a limit to the number of photos that will be kept on your photostresm and a 30 limit for photos. If you haven't already done so back up your photos to your computer.

HT201317 My iPhone was stolen and i cant afford to replace it. Can i access iCloud on my mac to retrieve photos from my phone?

My iPhone was stolen out of my coat pocket whilst christmas shopping . I immediatley had my phone blocked but because i wasn't insured i was unable to aford to replace my iPhone and had to buy the cheapest most basic phone they had. I had some very important portfolio photos for college on there that i hadn't had the chance to print out. i did have iCloud working on my phone so i was wondering if there was a way to get to my photos via my MacBook? It is very important that i try everything possible to get these photos back otherwise i risk failing my asessment and will have to re do the work. Thank you. R x

Photos in photo stream...
You can log into your iCloud account on another computer or device and enable photo stream to see your photos. You should do this as soon as possible because photo stream in the cloud only keeps photos for 30 days and each day you delay, you will lose another days photos.
Photos in the camera roll...
If you kept a back up of your device you can use it to restore to a replacement device, this will restore all of the photos in your camera roll and isn't time limited.
You can't do anything with the back up on your Mac, but if your photos are in back up, you might look for a friend who will let you erase their phone and restore from your back up.

My iPhone was stolen last night and I'm trying to recover all my photos from that phone and get them on my mac laptop. The iCloud photo stream only imported 1,000 photos from my stolen phone. How can I retrieve all of my other photos?

You have to reset the device to Factory Settings in order to restore it from an iCloud backup. You probably want to back it up as is before you do this.
To do the reset after you have backed up the current device, go to Settings>Reset>Reset all Content & Settings. This will erase the device. If you are signed onto iCloud with Find My iPhone turned on, go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom to sign out of iCloud before you do the reset.
Once you have reset your device, you will set it up like a new phone. When it asks if you want to restore it from an iCloud backup, select the backup you want to restore it from.

My iPhone 4 was run over at work worked fine for 5 days then got really hot and shut down. I can not get it to power back up. I have photos that were not backed up is there anyway that I can retrieve my photos from the phone?

MY iPhone 4 was run over at work by a forklift the screen was badly cracked but other than that worked fine for 6 days. Then it got really hot while charging and shut down and will not power back up. I have photos on this phone that we're not backed up to I cloud is there any way to retrieve my photos from this phone?

No. You probably should have backed it up while it was working during those 6 days...

If my iphone is stolen how can i retrieve photos from stolen device via photostream or icloud

My iphone was stolen 1 month ago. I have set up an ´erase content´ and icloud block via the find my iphone app. Will I be able to retrieve photos from taken on my stolen iphone via photostream or an icloud restore/back up some how?
Someone has contacted saying they bought my stolen iphone (in peru) and are asking that I unblock my phone. I have since recieved a new iphone via insurance but would like to now if there is a way to access my photos taken on the stolen device. Because I have a macbook that is also logged into my icloud account, will i somehow be able to access my old photos from my macbook?

The erase should take place the next time the phone is on and connected to a data network (via wi-fi or cellular). There is no need for them to enter your password. More details: iCloud: Erase your device
They don't have to enter your Apple ID password for that to happen. Do NOT give them your password, now or ever. They do not need to enter anything for the erase to take place. It just needs to connect to a data network (and that may not be possible if the phone is outside of your cellular carrier's area and if it cannot connect to wi-fi).
Do NOT remove the device from your account. The quote below is from If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen
What if your iOS device is off or offline?
If your missing device is off or offline, you can still put it in Lost Mode, lock it, or remotely erase it. The next time your device is online, these actions will take effect. If you remove the device from your account while it's offline, any pending actions for the device will be cancelled.
There isn't anything else you can do at this point to make the phone erase -- you have done what you can do. If the phone did not have a passcode, they have likely already had access to your data if the phone is in a foreign country since it wouldn't be online (connected to wi-fi or cellular) unless they intentionally did that.

Is there any way to retrieve photos from a 5c that has gone into recovery mode?

is there any way to retrieve photos from a 5c that has gone into recovery mode?

No, by the time its in recovery mode it's too late. The contents of the phone are gone. Did enable any of the ways that Apple provides to back up photos?
Backup the phone to your computer
Automatic daily iPhone backup to iCloud
enable Photo Stream
Copy photos to your computer using a USB cable and a compatible photo management utility on your computer
Enable Photo Sharing
Enable Photo Library backup
OR any of the 3rd party photo management solutions, such as Google Picasa, Google+, Facebook, Shutterfly?
OR any of the cloud sharing services such as box.com or dropbox?
If you have set up any one of these your photos can be retrieved from it.

Am I able to retrieve photos from an iPhone after it has been restored?

Is it possible to retrieve photos from an iPhone 5s after it has been restored? I had taken photos on my new iPhone 5s prior to restoring the previous settings and I never saved these photos. When I restored my phone from the old backup, my new photos were gone. I don't think they were saved to iCloud either.

Without a backup with the photos on it, you will not be able to recover them.

Just added a number of photos from my phone. It worked fine and I printed other photos but shut it down and Now it wont relaunch!! help.

I need a special tool just to access my own photos?
I suggested "Find any File" because it is easier to use than the Finder's search - the results there will depend, on what you have included in your Spotlight index.
To search using the Finder, open a Finder window; press the key combination ⌘F, and then set the search window to search "This Mac" and "Kind is 'Photo Library'"
Only, if the library should have become corrupted, this may not work. And the search will not look inside the packages.
The whole iPhoto library directory is only 556 MB so I guess the videos are lost for good.
How is the "Importing > Copy items to the iPhoto Library" flag set? See my last post.
If you imported with "store files" in there original location, the photos and videos will have remained on the card, until the crad has been erased.
Is there a way to start iPhoto from scratch so at least I can start over and have it not destory all my data next time?
You can create a new iphoto library, by using the command "File > Switch to Library > Create New".
Is there way to import my photos and videos without using iPhoto?
You can use the utility "Image Capture", that comes with every Mac to import your photos to folders on your Mac.
This program is horrendous!
I never had problems with it and like it, but I understand ....

With iOS 8, how do I delete photos from my phone BUT still have them in my iCloud and view them from my phone?

Hello all!
Before iOS 8, we had two separate photo albums - Photo Stream (for iCloud) and Camera Roll (for photos on your iPhone).
When you took a photo, the photo went into both albums. This was handy, as when i found my memory running low, I could delete photos from my Camera Roll, yet they will still be on my Photo Stream.
However, with the iOS 8 update, apparently they thought this was too confusing for everyone and therefore have merged it all into the collections/moments photo viewer.
So, my question is, is there a way that I can delete photos from my phone without deleting them from my iCloud, seeing as they are merged into one?
Thanks!

The easiest way I find to remove a few songs for the nano is to go into Ipod preferences and select "only sync checked songs" and the uncheck songs you don't want. You could only sync certain playlists but that takes some work setting up. http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorial/ipgettingstartedt2.html
Or you could just use manual sync which is more of a pain to be able to control everything that goes on or off your ipod http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorial/ipgettingstartedt3.html
