Help I seem to have lost my photos off my iPhone. I had an iPhone 4 and then upgraded to iPhone 4S but was able to keep my phones from iPhone 4 but it shows up as "Photos" in my 4S and any new photos I took on my new phone was saved in camera roll. I synced to iTunes on my mac and it has deleted from my iPhone all photos saved in "photos" but kept all in camera roll. How can I get back my photos lost?! Somebody help as these old photos are very precious to me.
Hi deekswife,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If you want to view Photo Stream photos on a Windows computer you will first need the iCloud Control Panel installed. Once installed, there will be an iCloud Photos location selected on your computer. Please review the following article as a reference.
iCloud: Set up My Photo Stream
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13693
On a Windows computer
Install the iCloud Control Panel if it isn’t already installed on your computer.
Open the iCloud Control Panel, then turn on Photos.My Photo Stream is set up by default. To turn it off, click Options, then turn off My Photo Stream.
To change the iCloud Photos location on your computer, click Options. Click Change to choose a folder, then click OK.
Click Apply.
I hope this helps,

Hello,
I accidentally clicked restore when I was trying to sync my photos from my iphone to my mac computer. I lost them all and it made me sick. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how I might be able to retrieve them? I was up until 4am trying to figure this out.
Thanks!!!
KellyIf you restored the iPhone then the photos are gone. Sorry.
Next time you take photos on your iPhone, transfer them to your Mac as soon as it's convenient.

Help Needed - I think we have lost our photos to the iphone
Our pc crashed yesterday and my fella had to reinstall all of the software which wiped off all of our photos of our 9 month old from the C drive. I was absolutely gutted until he said it's OK they're on my iphone we can get them back.
We don't seem to be able to transfer them back from the iphone to the pc. If they weren't originally taken on the iphone is this not possible?There may be a 3rd party utility that provides for this but something you should be aware of, photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone are "optimized" as part of the iTunes sync/transfer process for viewing with the iPhone. The original resolution for these photos is permanently lost if you are able to transfer these photos from your iPhone to your computer.
Hindsight is 20/20, but this is one of the reasons why maintaining a backup of your important data is so very important. It isn't a matter of if but when your hard drive has a partial or complete failure since none last forever. It doesn't matter how new or old a computer or computer's hard drive is. This is important regardless the platform, but even more so with a Windows PC with constant virus, adware, and spyware concerns.
The iPhone is not designed for use as a backup device or media, and should not be considered as such.
Unless someone else here can recommend an available 3rd party utility for recovering these photos, try a Google search. -
Accidentally lost my photos/videos on iPhone 5. Is recovery possible?
Today I was all excited to finally be able to connect my new iPhone 5 to iTunes and sync the information from my old 3GS phone. Unfortuantely I did something wrong and lost the photos and videos (which I care about most). I was able to recover the photos through photostream and 1 video (that I sent to a relative). Is there anyway to recover the other videos? The videos are from Christmas.
If you just resynced, unfortuntately those are gone. If they're no longer in your photo album on your phone, they're gone. Sorry to hear if that's the case, Ryan.

Had to do a restore through itunes - lost my photos taken with iphone
iphone froze up - had to do a full restore
but now my photos i took with the phone are gone..any way to get them back?
whats up with this?robbonds,
A restore formats the iPhone as part of the process of restoring to the same condition it came out of the box. Reseting the iPhone does not erase the iPhone, and will often resolve situations where the iPhone has become unresponsive.
Your photos can be transferred to your computer after they were taken, and are not included in the information that is backed up for iTunes.

Hi, everyone! I don't know if this question has been answered, but I recently lost my photos on my iPhone.
My iPhone memory was full, so I decided to transfer some of the photos on my iPhone onto iPhoto to clear up some space. (In hindsight, I probably should have transferred all of the photos AND I should have backed up my photos on iTunes regularly). Anyway, after transferring some of the photos, I selected the "delete imported photos" option on iPhoto. After unplugging my iPhone from my laptop, my Camera Roll looked like this:
There were only about 5 photos left and these odd video icons that were inaccessible. I was only able to transfer photos from January to March 2013. I'm missing all of my photos from March to December 2013. I also checked the amount of space I had left on my iPhone, and the amount of free space I have now is a few gigabytes more than I had before the photos went missing, so I'm guessing my photos were deleted.
I tried to look for a solution online, and I didn't really find any threads that talked about this specific problem, but I tried the suggestion of one article (albeit the article wasn't exactly about this problem) to delete these three files from my PhotoData. It made the inaccessible video icons disappear, but my photos are still nowhere to be found.
Does anyone know why this could have happened or how I can retrieve my photos? Has anyone encountered this before and has found a solution? I would really like to retrieve my missing photos. Thank you!probably a question for the iPhone forum since restoring photos on the iPhone does not involve iPhoto at all

I lost my photos on my IPhone 5 when trying to learn to sync. Can they be retireved or are they gone forever?
I am not computer savy....I was trying to add some contacts and it would not let me. My grandaughter told me I had to sync phone. I did something stupid I told it to restore to last back up. I got all old contact information. I messed with it until I got my current contacts back. Everything is back to normal except my photos are gone.

i save my photos to camera roll. then back up but can't see it on icloud. why? we just lost 300 photos on my other iphone because we do not get proper help. that's why i need to learn now.
You can't view your back up files at icloud.com.
You can't view your camera roll and you can't view your Photo Stream files at icloud.com.
The icloud back up plan allows you to "restore" your iOS device from the files you backed up at icloud.com. -

I need to download all of my photos from my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2 to my MacBook Air because there is no more storage space available. I want to make sure all my photos are not lost and that they do not return to the original devices because of the cloud. Can someone please help ?
Connect your devices to the computer with the USB cable (one device at a time) and import the photos via iPhoto or Image Capture.
If you have not changed any default settings on your computer, iPhoto will automatically launch when you plug in the device. Then follow the import prompts. -
can anyone help me in iphone mobile, i had lost my data in phone, because i restore my phone without backup, how can i get my old data, i lost my photos and videos... help me
Sorry Raj,
If you did not back up your information, and you have now restored your phone, then your information is not recoverable.
Sorry,

I upgraded my iphone to OS 6.1.2 through itune and lost some photos from photos album and SMS ( In fact everything went back to how it was on my last back up few weeks ago). Do you know how I can recover them? Thank you.
Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...
