I phone 4S - how to recover pictures

I am up late and quite upset - family member was trying to sync my iphone4S to Itunes for first time and all my photos (I never backed up from vacation last week - 200 ish photos of family) are gone. I was going to figure out how to back them up tomorrow.
My phone is back to its factory settings - it is pretty scary/sad to have all stuff gone.
I am new to I phone. Have no idea what happened.
Is there any way to get photo's back - other stuff I can slowly work on.
I see apps I previously downloaded are in I-tunes but there are no photos and cannot find photo area.
This is very sensitive to me, I just took my family on a vacation I saved for years that was priceless with 200 pictures. : ( no words to explain sadness.
Please help and if possible to get back please send step by step directions.

Sorry if you haven't backed up your phone then your pictures are gone.
Future note you should import all your pics over to your PC as a backup. take a look at the link

General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as MAC Data Recovery, Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

How can I recover my deleted pictures/videos? I accidentally reset my ipad without backing up.

A Reset doesn't cause the deletion of any files. You must have Restored. You need to make a backup frequently of your iPad's contents.

How to recover pictures I deleted from my hard drive and backed up with TM

Hello all,
2 months ago, using the TM for the first time, I decided to delete all my pictures from my MacBook Pro as they were saved with TM.
Then, when I went to look for them in TM, they were gone as well.
Anyway, I do hope, to recover them all?
and.... how to store them so that they don't take so much space on my MacBook Pro?
Many thanks in anticipation, I feel so useless with this all!

TM does not retain files that have been deleted from the hard drive for more than one week. During the weekly consolidation files removed from the hard drive are then removed from the TM backup.
If you are trying to use TM like a regular backup storage utility, then you've misunderstood how TM works. See the following explanation:
About TM "Backup Drive is Full" Alert
TM only deletes older files if they have been deleted from the source and when TM needs space on the backup drive for a new incremental backup. Data are deleted to make space for a new backup, but if TM is unable to delete enough files to free up space for the new backup, then you will get a disk full error. Normal thinning during a backup occurs during TM's periodic weekly and monthly consolidation backups. Note, that on a Time Capsule the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but doesn't shrink. Thus, from the user's view of the TC it appears that no space has been freed, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.
Once TM has found it cannot free up enough space for a new backup it reports the disk is full. You can either erase the backup drive and start your backups anew or replace the drive with a larger drive.

HT1688 How to recover pictures in Photos

How do I recover my pictures in Photos?

If you have deleted the photos from iphoto and even if you have used trash in iphoto it appears that they are not really deleted at all.
They are actually still stored in finder. To access the photos highlight any existing photo in iphoto and then select File - Reveal in Finder - original.
You will now be given a finder window that drills down from the iphoto application to a master folder under which the folder Masters exists. Within Master are folders for each year then month that you have inserted photos into iphoto. Within each month is each day and then a time folder which contains your valuable photos.
You can now copy these elsewhere and then re-import them back into iphoto.
The photos must be flagged in some way as hidden to iphoto (I will try and work this out later)
I am using iphoto11 on OSX Lion and used this method to delete unwanted photos that I could not stop appearing in a photo viewer geeklet.
Hope this helps.

I forgot my password to unlock my phone (4-ATT). While attempting different passwords, the phone locked me out. When I connected the phone to my MAC book Pro, it reset the phone. Is there any way to recover the pics that I took previously?

If you didn't already extract them to your computer, no. They are already gone.

How to recover my pictures when phone went into recovery mode?

how to recover my pictures when phone went into recovery mode?

Perhaps you've been transferring them from your iOS device to your computer regularly, as recommended for any electronic image capture device?
If not, then learn from this hard life lesson, and backup the data that is important to you... regularly.

How to recover photo stream pictures?

My photo stream album disappeared. I think it happened when I enabled the "iCloud Photo Library (beta)". I thought it was suppose to upload the photo stream album to iCloud but instead it just deleted it without ever asking me if I wanted them to be deleted. Does anyone know what happened? Or how to recover them? They do not show up in "recently deleted album" because I never actually deleted them
Ive tried 3rd party software but no luck. Since half of the pics in the photo stream album were not in the regular pictures album and not on the hard drive they cannot be found. When I went to the iCloud website there were only 97 pictures and not the 1000 pics that were originally in the photo stream album.
My phone has never been backed up to iTunes so that is no help
If these pictures are not on my phone or iCloud, where can they be and is it possible to get them back?

Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes? If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

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.
Cheers,
GB
