If I restore iPhone, there won't be any way to get photos back?
I was trying to update my phone to the 6 update, but then it said there was an error. Now my phone won't let me get inside of it at all.
It's making me restore the whole phone (I haven't clicked the "yes, restore phone" button yet because I'm trying to figure this out first), but I want to at least save all of the pictures I've taken with my phone before I fully restore it.
When I restore it, will my photos still be there? or is there any way that I can save all of my photos before the restore?
You've never backup your phone or imported your pics to your computer. IF your answer is NO, you'll lose everything regardless cause you have to restore your phone.

Is there any way to get photos back from a 'corrupt' backup?
Basically a couple of weeks ago I bought a new iPhone 5S, and the night before I got this phone I made sure to backup my old iPhone 5. When I tried to restore backup my new 5S I waited half an hour thinking it was working but I was shown the message ‘iTunes could not restore the iPhone "*phone name*" because the backup was corrupt or is not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored". I am not particularly interested in backing my phone up to an earlier date my main concern is really all the photos I had on my latest backup.
Did you also have an iCloud backup? Did you enable Photo Stream? Had you ever synced your photos to your computer's photo management app? These would be the easiest ways to recover your photos. Beyond thatyou can try to find them in the backup with a backup extractor app for your computer. You can try googling for "iphone backup extractor". Skip any expensive ones; there are some excellent ones that are free or inexpensive.

I had backed-up my iPhone and when I try to restore it it says that the back-up is corrupt or the iPhone is not compatible. I had a bunch of pictures that I need from that restore. Is there any way to get them back? I did the back-up to my Macbook
If the backup is corrupt, there is nothing that can be done.
For what reason did you choose to not copy the pictures off the device to a computer prior to attemping an update or whatever caused the need to restore? iPhones are not intended as sole storage of any media. -
just restored my iphone to be like my ipod and I lost all my photos and videos..is there any way to get them back?
You restored your iPhone with iTunes from the backup for your iPod Touch?
If so, photos/videos that were in your iPhone's Camera Roll should have been imported by your computer before doing this. You could then transfer these photos/videos back to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process. -
so, i bought the iphone 5s..but i took a few photos with it 1st before syncing it to the computer and restoring backup of the contents of my old iphone.now, the new iphone's photos are lost.is there any way to get it back?
No. When you restored the backup of the old computer it wiped out everything on the phone.

When I went to sync my iPhone, I accidently hit restore and it made my iPhone have all of the settings of my iPod Touch, erasing my iPhone pictures and contacts. Is there any way to get everything back?
Not to doubt you, but something sounds fishy. I can see accidentally clicking Restore, but to load your Touch's information you would have had to select your Touch's backup file after restoring, which would be hard to do by accident -- unless your iPhone and Touch have the same name?
In any case, your iPhone should have its own backup file on your computer. You can click Restore again and this time select the iPhone's backup file (there should be a device name and date associated with the pop-up window at the end of the restore process). This process will erase your iPhone, reload the OS, and then when you select your backup file then all your iPhone settings, data, sync options, etc. will be re-loaded, including your media (if you auto-sync ... if you manually manage music and video on the iPhone then you'll need to re-select the items you want loaded onto it). -
I just got a 5s and had taken some pictures. Then I plugged it into my PC and set it up using my previous backup from my iPhone 4. Now the pictures I had taken are gone, is there any way to get them back?!
Sorry no as you wipe the current data when you restore from your backup.

Restore it from your most recent backup or from the computer Calendar app you sync your iPhone with via iTunes.

Hi i synced an iphone to a new pc and it updated and restored the iphone to its original settings. some photos were still there after but a few hundred are now missing. Is there any way to get them back?
restore from a backup dated prior to when you synced to the new computer.
ideally... were you backing up to icloud? if so, erase all content and settings and restore from a backup in icloud dated prior to when you synced. Camera roll backs up I believe and those photos will show back up -
I reset my iphone 4s, is there any way to get ringtones back that I purchased? They are not showing up under my available ringtones anymore
They are linked to your account, but they are also tied to the country that they were bought in - you won't be able to potentially redownload them unless you move back to the US and have a US billing address on your account (you have to be in a country to use its store, including redownloading past purchases).
Have you not got a backup copy of all of your downloads/library that you can copy them back from ? Even if you hadn't moved countries any item could be removed from the store at any time by the rights-holders (you are only guaranteed one download of any item), you should be keeping and maintaining a backup copy. -
i have a ipod touch 2g and after a restore none of my apps will restore because it says that i need a newer version of the ipod software to run them they all work fine till i did the restore . is there any way to get them back ?
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

If the photos were not backed up with a recent backup, there is NO way to retrieve them.

iCloud got deleted off my MacBook Pro. Is there any way to get it back? I have an iphone now and actually have a use for it.
Your signature says you have 10.6.8 - is this correct? (It it isn't please amend it to prevent confusion).
Assuming Snow Leopard, iCloud has not been deleted - it was never there. The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.2 (Mountain Lion preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
You can set Snow Leopard up to access the email on an existing iCloud account which has been set up on a compliant device, and you may be able to sync iCal using an unsupported (and possibly unreliable) hack, but no other facilities will work. You cannot open an iCloud account on Snow Leopard.
This page outlines the limited use you can make of an existing iCloud account with Snow Leopard:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
To make full use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mountain Lion, provided it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
The requirements for Mountain Lion are listed here:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications). (If you are currently pre-Snow Leopard you will have to upgrade to that to access the Mac App Store: it's available in the online Apple Store.)
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table -
i had a problem with my iphone and had to restore and now i have lost all music from itunes any way to get it back ?
It should ne in itunes on your computer and included in your regular backup of your computer.
If for some reason you have failed to backup your music, then - in the U.S only - you can get previous itunes purchases from the beta version of icloud. Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick Links. -
I accidentally restored my new phone to an old backup and lost all my new pictures, videos, texts, etc. Is there any way to get them back? I cant find an "undo" option.
Apple isn't here. This is a user to user forum.
