HT4972 Retrieving albums after updating to ios 5

Is there anyway of retrieving albums after updating to ios 5. my photo albums were synced with an external hard drive which was stolen. after updating to ios 5 all my albums were lost. Is there a way of retrieving them? Please help.

If you failed to maintain a backup copy of your pics, then they are gone.
Sorry.
Pics synced to your iphone form your computer are not part of the backup that itunes performs at all.

After updating to iOS 5, the Photo album stopped working.

After updating to iOS v5, my iphone 4S's built-in Photo app stopped working.
The Camera takes a photo, but the photo disappears from the camera roll and shows no photos in the photoalbum.
My iPhone used to take photos so, I don't believe it is a hardware issue.
Is anyone having the same problem?
Would there be a update of the v5 to solve this issue?

I figured it out.
In my case, I just needed to restore my phone to the factory setting.
My iphone = iphone 4 running iOS v5
My computer = iMac
Software didn't work = preinstalled "Photos" app
Symptoms = after I take a photo, the image thumbnail of the camera roll shows the image, but images are found neither in the camera roll nor in the albums of the "Photos".
Solution procedure:
connect the iphone to iMac
in the Summary window of the devices, click "Restore"
choose not to save the backup file
choose to restore the iphone as a "NEW" device instead of choosing a backup files*
follow the rest of instructions.
It helped and now I can view my photos in the photo album.
* However, I accidentary re-restored it with a saved backup file and the "Photos" application stopped working again. I repeated the resotre procedure avoiding the accidental restoration to a backup file.
The camera and the photos were working before iOS v5 update, and it is now working again. So, it is obviously not the hardware issue. It seems that iOS v5 and the Photos are having compatibility issue Apple should look into this issue.

Duplicate music albums and song listing after updating to iOS 5

Anyone else seeing duplicate music albums in carousel mode? After updating to iOS 5 i notice a few albums have duplicate albums or song listing.
I have 1 album thats duplicated 8 times in carousel mode and twice in album listing, none are excalty the same. Example 8 albums, each either holds all the songs or part of the album. Duplicate albums would 3-4 of the same songs, although there is only one file when viewing thru itunes.
Any answers would help, thanks

Thanks but i just tired that ad it didnt work either. All my albums are in order with tracks, artist, disc and etc. Never had a problem with this when i was on iOS 4.
Additional Note: Videos no longer continue where i left off even though the option to do so has been selected.
Anyone experiencing lag on their Touch Gen4? Like shutter sound when you put the screen to sleep takes a second after the button is pressed which use to be instant.
Apple...got any take on these matters?

After updating to iOS 5, I cannot retrieve Yahoo Mail

After updating to iOS 5, I cannot retrieve up to date Yahoo Mail. It successfully connects. But it only shows some old emails. Nothing current. I've deleted the Yahoo connector and recreated it. Same thing. I know I have new emails waiting in my Yahoo Inbox, yet they're not showing on my iPhone.
Any ideas?

I fixed Yahoo Mail on my 3GS with iOS 5: In Settings, "Mail, Contacts, Calendars", I reduced "Show" to "50 Recent Messages"
It had been set to "200 Recent Messages"
I also have an Exchange and MobileMe account setup on the phone.
I guess that there is not enough memory or something with iOS 5 on some devices to hold 200 Recent Messages from multiple accounts.
Hope this helps!

HT201210 After updating to IOS 6 I no longer had playlist in music, I turned on Match and now I have 2 of every playlist

after updating to IOS 6, I went out to mow my yard and listen to my music via bluetooth headset as I have done all summer. But to my surprise there was no longer a playlist not one!!!!!   so after mowing and listening to one album I tried turning on Match and now I have 2 of every playlist.
I realize that there will be a few glitches when upgrading a new system. I would like to see Apple come up with a simple way to contact Apple to let them know about these new problems. This is only one of them and there are a few more on the iphone and even more on the newest ipad.
for instance I buy 64gb iphones and ipads, because I do not want to stream my photos or music I do not always have access to wifi or cellular. Plus with over 5,000 songs and 15,000 photos it takes to long so I want to store them and us sync to save changes. I have a very advanced setup. with outdoor entertainment around the pool "covered" in the party room, in the house, in the RV outside the RV. The list goes on. I want my picturesand music stored!!!! not all Streamed. when ever we try to stream pictures or music for one of my parties there are freezes and hangups. Not something I like when I have 60- 100 friends over. Storeing all this to a device should be easy when I USB it to my IMAC!!!! also when I take pictures around my party and then the Apple TV fails to keep up streaming I plug the iphone into a source to the stereo's and the **** thing starts sending all my photo stream through the wifi to the computer and now it will not play music or photos until it is finished.   Here I go again with all these guest saying I thought you said apple was better!!!!! we need to be able to select when we want sync to happen to prevent this with out turning off icoud or phot stream.

I am back with an update. I turned off Match on both the ipad and the iphone 5. By doing so I was able to sync my Iphone and ipad to itunes and store the music on my devices rather than the slow streaming. So far this has fixed my problems with the iphone I have all my music, playlist, most of the album art and so on. But the ipad is a different story. I have the music and artist but not one playlist I am sure Apple will have an upgrade soon that will address these issues they are usually very good about this.
Now have any of you experienced another problem that has existed as long as I have used faces in Aperture.
I have over 200 faces and they are organized a-z problem is I have this going on A-Z folowed by a few that start over A-Z followed by another few A-Z and again a 4th time A-Z. Imagine how difficult it is while I am showing someone the great features of my iphone, ipad and imac. Which I do talk highly of all the time. But how do I explain that even though their name starts with a or b or what ever they are not important enough to me to be in the first list of A-Z or even the 2nd or 3rd list of A-Z someohow they are in the 4th section of the list!!!!
I have managed to get the Imac to fix this but for some reason the IOS devices do not.   Any ideas?
Thanks Al

Camera roll not seen in album after updating ios8

Camera roll not seen in album after updating ios8

That is intentional. The Camera Roll album is no longer show as a separate album, also My Photo Stream is no longer a separate album. This Help document explains, where you will see the photos now.
Get help finding your Photos in iOS 8http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6464
Have you enabled the "Summarise Photos" option? Then disable it.
By default, Photos displays a representative subset of your photos when you view by year or by collection.
To see all your photos, go to Settings > Photos & Camera, then turn off Summarize Photos.
And did you migrate your photos from iPhoto? Some photos may still be in the iPhoto Library, that is no longer supported:

Use iTune to update your apps.
Check for Updates (bottom right) in iTune. When download is completed, sync to iPad.

Where are audiobooks located after updating to iOS 7?

WIthin the Music app after updating to iOS 7 I am not seeing an option to view and select an audiobook that was purchased from iTunes. Am I missing something obvious?

Audiobooks were only meant for a one time download and not meant to be re-downloaded, but I spoke with an Apple Tech to retrieve lost purchases, and then they walked me through how to get them back:
Open iTunes on your computer
Make sure you are logged in using the same account you have set up on your apple device
Click on the Store tab on the top left
Click on Check for Available Downloads
It should start downloading your audiobooks for you here. Once they are downloaded, plug in your apple device to sync.
After your apple device is connected:
Click on the iPad/iPhone button on the top right of screen
Click the Books tab on the top and scroll down and check Sync Audiobooks box
Then click on the sync button at bottom of screen
If you click the Music tab, the Audiobooks tab should have reappeared and your books should be syncing back to your device.
I'm not sure if there was any help with re-posting those audiobooks on Apple's end before they told me where to find them, but I hope this helps. Otherwise, I'd contact Apple directly and have them assist you.
Also for the future they said they recommend transferring all purchases off the apple device via iTunes and backing up your iTunes library before doing any updates/upgrades.

-going into general settings and reset all settings
-the device reset several times (waiting until I saw the all important apple logo)
-removing the last few apps I installed.
Nothing at all has worked, please help!

Iphone 4 personal Hotspot not working after update to IOS 7.1 India BSNL cellular

BSNL is not a supported carrier. Personal Hotspot requires carrier support and provisioning of the account to enable it. iOS 7.1 disabled the ability to manually configure Personal Hotspot on unsupported carriers.

3G is not working after updating to iOS 6.1

My 3G connection is not working after updating to iOS 6.1. I have tried all possible solutions like resetting the network, restarting the phone etc.
With this kind of bugs in every update, Apple will no more be THE Apple.
There are bugs which have not been fixed even in the subsequent updates. SMSs going blank being one of them.
Miss you Sir Jobs.....

I have since managed to sort mine out - when the phone was updated it wiped out the network settings.
I was able to reset them by manually putting the information in:
Settings - General - Cellular - Cellular Data Network and then I put in the correct details for APN, username and Password in the relevant sections and now it works OK.
Hopefully it will work for others too

If it is an app compatibility issue - it IS the app developers responsibility to make sure that they update their apps in order to work with the new iOS. Apple owes no users a warning whatsoever. Common sense tells me that a very old app that has not been updated for the last two iOS updates just might not make the grade in the third iOS release since the app came out.
I can't even find an App called Top 3 Solitaire in the U.S. App Store. Perhaps the app was so old and it hasn't been updated in so long so it was pulled from the App Store.
