I restored my iphone then chose to back up from itunes and lost all my photos !
I restored my Iphone 4 and then chose to back up from itunes (as there where I have always backed up on to) I got all my apps back and contacts, but lost all my photos, wi-fi info and other little bits.
Does anyone know how to get them back at all?!??
Thank you so much
Something may be wrong with the backup in regards to texts and photos in the Camera Roll with your iPhone 4, but music is not included with the backup and the same for photos transferred from your computer.
The music should be in your iTunes library on your computer and any photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone 4 should remain on your computer.

Be careful, when you connect the iPhone to your mac, unless you have saved the photos. Synced photos may easily be accidentally deleted by syncing again. And do not enable iCloud Photo Library (Beta), that will erase synced photos as well. Synced Photos are not included in the device backups.
Set your iTunes Preferences to "Devices > Prevent iPos, iPhones, iPads from syncing automatically". Otherwise iTunes may launch and sync your iPhone with an empty iPhoto library the moment you connect it.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to sync the synced photos back. Apple recommends to mail them back, but that would be a lot of clicking (iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple Support). You could also share them to a Shared Album, but a third party app like TD recommended, will be better. -
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...

I have updated my iPhone to iOS6.1.3 today and lost all my photos and some data(messageies) I have tried iTunes back up but still not success, please help.
If your messages and photos weren't part of your backup, then they're gone.
Certainly you weren't foolish enough to update the iOS on your phone before importing your photos off your phone for safe keeping on your computer like you would do with any digital camera, were you? -
I recently turned off iCloud photo sharing and lost all the photos off my iPhone 4S. How can I get them back onto my phone?
IF you have successfully imported your pictures to your Mac http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 then it's safe to delete it from your phone.
If you want the pics back on your phone, just sync them back using itunes http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 -

I have a 3G iphone. I just tried to download the new itunes and lost all my itunes I had. I tried to transfer them from my computer but can't. How can I and what do I do to get the ones I bought before and now have lost.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod/iphone/ipad: File>Transfer Purchases -
I updated my ipod touch 4th gen to ios 5 and lost all my photos. how can i get it back? i'm using windows 7. help please? thanks!
This was the scenario:
The first time I updated, it was only my music that was lost.
When I got my music back, I lost my apps.
When I got my apps back, my contacts, notes and photos were lost.
Now I got back everything except for my photos.
(Yes, I restored from backup several times since the first update.)
Do you think if I try restoring from back up, my photos that were taken from my ipod will be restored finally?
Thank you. -
I upgraded to OSX and lost all my photos from Ilife acan I get them back
I upgraded to OSX and lost all my photos from Iphoto, can I get them back.
Are you sure, you are viewing the correct iPhoto library? iPhoto may have created a new Library.
Hold down the alt/options key ⌥, while you double click iPhoto to launch it. Is there more than one Photo Library in the panel that opens? Then try the other libraries, if your photos are in there.

I have accidentally retored my phone back to factory settings and lost my contact list, photos and all. I have retrieved my apps via itunes but is there any way to reverse this so I can get my photos and contact list back?
Some accident with all the steps and warning messages provided.
All contacts on your iPhone should be available on your computer. Not a good idea to depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for such important data. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
Contacts and photos/videos in the Camera Roll should be included with your iPhone's backup which should have been created or updated by iTunes as the first step during the restore process - unless you declined the option.
If you declined the option, the data is gone. If not, restore your iPhone again from the backup that was created or updated before the previous restore. -
HT4623 Recently updated my iphone 5 with IOS7 and lost all my photos - Help!?
Hi, I'm wondering if anyone might be able to help? I updated my Iphone 5 with this IOS7 update a few days ago and seem to have lost all my photos. I tried a 'Restore' and then 'Back up from restore' in itunes but the phone kept going round in circles. It kept asking me [on the iphone] to select either 'Set up as new phone' or 'Restore from icloud' or 'Restore from itunes back up.' I chose 'Restore from backup' every time and just as I thought it had finished, it asked me to do the whole process over again. This happened several times. In the end I chose to 'Set up as new iphone' and then I was able to do a restore but the photo's never appeared. I did get all my Apps, Music and Contacts back on the phone.
I spoke with Apple today and they seem to think I didn't do a backup before updating to IOS7. Normally my itunes automatically does a sync and a back up when I connect the phone and I will get a warning message to prompt me if not. I've searched for the photo's in my Pictures folder on my lap top but they are not there. I don't use icloud [don't quite understand it but I'm getting there!] and the Apple advisor checked my Apple account and couldn't find any of the photos there. I've even tried to download a program to scan my phone for lost items but there's still no photos showing up.
Have I lost these photos for good or is there any way of getting them back?
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks
JaneJust to add to my enquiry above...
I have downloaded a couple of these programmes which say they can help scan for missing photos. One of the programs scanned my itunes and found photos from a back up this August. I could see quite a few photos on there [the ones that I'm missing] but these programs only let you down load 2 files [photos] unless you register with them i.e I will have to pay.
So why isnt this back up for August showing up in the list 'restore from back up' when I'm connected to my itunes??
Its so frustrating knowing that the majority of the photos I'm missing are actually still there somewhere. Why do i have to pay another provider to get them back?? -
My brother synced an old device to my iphone 5 from itunes and it overwrited all my contacts and photos with everything
from the old itunes device. HELP.. how can I get back all my photos, contacts and apps? Would itunes have saved this
somehow when the device synced?
I'm devastated - we just moved from Boston to Cali and loosing all my info. tonight has crushed me! Any help is so
greatly appreciatedIf you've been using your phone as recommended in the User Guide, you've synched your contacts with a cloud service like Google, MobileMe or iCloud, or with a program on your computer like Address Book or Outlook.
Your contacts should still be safe in those programs and ready for resynching.
If, on the other hand, you've relied only on the iPhone to maintain your contacts, then you have just learned a valuable lesson, and this is why is is NOT recommended by Apple.
Likewise, it's recommended that photos get uploaded from your phone to your computer for safe keeping. Did you do this? -
I upgraded my iOS 3.3.5 to 5.0 on my iPhone 4 and lost all photos on camera roll. Where are they and can they be recovered?
Have you been using your phone as recommended? If so, you've been importing photos in your camera roll onto your computer for safe keeping. Just as you would with a standalone digital camera. Your photos would then reside safely on your computer for archival.
While camera roll photos ARE part of the backup, not everything always goes smoothly as you've seen, which is why the recommendation to import photos as soon as possible to your computer.
If you have a recent backup of your iPhone, you can restore and hopefully many of your photos will be on this backup. Any photos or data added to your phone since this last backup are, of course, gone forever.
