I lost all of my photos and videos after download of iOS 5? how do I get them back?

So I updated to OS 5 last night an low and behold I lost all of my photos and videos? how do I get them back, I did do my download on my mac book pro. I would have thought that all of that stuff would have transferred automatic during the download of 5, but I guess that would make too much sense? So how do I get that stuff back?

I did the same thing last night also with my MacBook Pro.  None of my music, video or photos not taken originally on my iphone were  reloaded back onto my phone.  I received an error message instead.  I had to just re-drag the music and videos that I wanted back to my iphone.  As far as my photos taken on my iphone...by chance, I had just backed those up earlier that day.  I'm not sure where the photos are that I had put on my iphone in the beginning...they still show up in people's contacts, but they no longer show up under photos - ?  This is very frustrating!

  • I seem to have lost all of my playlists and more than half my songs. How do I get them back? Dont know what I did wrong? Please Help

    I seem to have lost all my original playlists and more than half my songs. How do I get them back, where did I go wrong?
    If I was to press "restore" does this wipe everything off my library? I always thought that you could never loose songs? That they were always stored somewhere
    in there. Please help,

    If those tabs aren't in History > Recently Closed Tabs or Windows then they are probably lost.
    You can try to search them in the History if you haven't bookmarked them.
    Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting is a more reliable way to restore session data.
    * Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

  • Mail application is still there. All of my emails and folders are gone since iCloud. How can I get them back using Snow Leopard? Or can I? Do I have to wait for Mountain Lion?

    Mail application is still there. All of my emails and folders are gone since iCloud. How can I get them back using Snow Leopard? Or can I? Do I have to wait for Mountain Lion?

    I need to check a few other things...
    Click on 'Mail' in the upper left corner next to the Apple ()
    Click Preferences
    Click the 'Accounts' tab
    Make sure your iCloud account is highlighted in the column on the left.
    In the account information section what does it say next to:
    Incoming Mail Server?
    Outgoing Mail Server?
    Also, did you use MobileMe before the iCloud?

  • I lost all my purchased music that i bought on my ipod touch, how do i get them back?

    i lost all my music that i purchased from my ipod touch, how do i get them back?

    You should have transferred them to your computer regularly and included them in your backup copy of your computer.
    You buy one and only one download.  It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup your music, then you can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

    Sorry.  Your info is gone.
    You chose to set up your iphone from your daughters backup.
    The iphone is designed to be synced with your computer regularly.  You should have set up syncing from day one.
    As you have failed to sync your information, it is gone.
    Very sorry.

  • Lost all my thumbnails - new tabs open only a blank page. How do I get them back?

    The support topic on this question says to look for a "pin" icon in the upper left corner of the browser. I do not show one. Firefox used to just automatically populate my new tabs page with the thumbnails, but it is no longer doing that, and I don't know how to fix it.
    I downloaded some freeware that changed a number of browsing options (default browser, added Bing bar without my full knowledge, etc.). Got that all removed but then Firefox wasn't working well, so I had to uninstall/reinstall the program. Now my thumbnails are gone and I can neither get them back nor create new ones.
    Help!
    Cheers, Dolly

    MOST EXCELLENT. Not only did this work, but I was able to do it all very easily AND it brought back all my previously set up thumbnails in the order I had them arranged on the new tab pages! Wonderful.
    I will definitely keep these instructions for future reference, but I had already gone in and deleted all apps and extensions that I did not recognize as from Firefox or that I hadn't added myself. So I'm pretty sure I got rid of the pesky malware that caused the problem already. Great links for that task however.
    Thank you SO much!!
    Cheers, Dolly

  • HT201269 I downloaded the iOS7, lost all the custom ring tones that I had on my phone, how do i get them back.  when I sync my phone, itunes says that they have been selected, but they don't show up on my phone

    I downloaded the iOS7, lost all the custom ring tones that I had on my phone.  the iTunes sync page says that they have all been selected but they don't show up in my phone? Help?

    I had the same problem and was able to fix it. Go to your iTunes and click on the Tones folder on the left under library. Some of my ring tones had an exclamation mark next to it and those were the ones that did not sync. You have to click on those and find it in your computer. Once the exclamation mark is gone, go to Tones section of your device in iTunes, make sure you select the tones you want synced, and click apply. I hope that helps you!

  • TS1702 I lost all of my apps when i updated my iphone 4.  How can I get them back on my phone?

    I updated my phone and lost all of my apps.  How can I get the apps on iTunes back on my phone?

    I lost all of my apps icons today as well.  I have to go to the Apps Store and click on the the app.  Can't re-dowload and the app. store says that all of my apps. updates were applied.  Where is this Synch Apps and the Apps Tab?  On the phone or in iTunes.  I hope that this works for me, too.
    PS - every update that I have done has required a restore, and I only have a couple dozen apps.  The Apple rep. I spoke with today said that I have to redownload the apps, but can't do that and even if I could I would loose my data.  Grrrrrrr.

Is there a way i can get them back as i did not want it to restore my old phone anyway! i also had my hone set up to the cloud and it didnt work! PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME

    Can you try to use another computer?
    If this does not work, visit an Apple Store or an Authorized Apple Service Provider next to your place, and show them the phone, maybe they can restore it before you'll have to get it serviced.
    Did you try to put it in recovery mode?
    iOS: Unable to update or restore

    Restore the backup you surely made before you updated, as anyone would do before updating any computing device:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

    The person that found them has deleted them on the phone so you iCal is gone is what I can figure.

    Okay... but then there's nothing there? It just says "There are no purchased movies to be downloaded" (roughly translated from Danish)...

  • I'm running iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. My collection of 25,000  photos on iPhoto library is completely empty. How can I get them back?

    I'm running iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. My collection of 25,000  photos on iPhoto library is completely empty. How can I get them back?
    I dragged one photo to the My Pictures folder in Finder. I knew it was just one photo because it was the only one highlighted in yellow. When I saw it in Finder, it was labled iPhoto. I thought it was the wrong picture, so in Finder I deleted the file. When I got back to iPhoto, EVERYTHING was missing. Events, photos, recent, and even trash. At this point, I went into my Trash. I searched for iPhoto and iPhoto was there. I opened it and it was still empty. All I want to do is to get my collection of photos back!

    Best solution is to load your backup from before you did this?
    Where did you drag the photo from?
    Have you tried dragging it from the trash to the desktop?  What size is it?
    What size is your iPhoto library in the pictures folder?
