IOS 6, factory reset and the missing photos - where are they now?

I installed IOS6 then did a factory reset on my ipad, and afterwards all photos bar the seven in the photostream disappeared. They're still in the device somewhere as they're still taking up space under the 'Usage' section.
Anyone know how to recover them, or delete them entirely to free up that memory for other things? (All are backed up elsewhere so deletion is not a problem).

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.

  • I just updated to IOS 10.10.3 and the new photos app.  How do you hide photos so they don't show anywhere?

    I just updated to IOS 10.10.3 and the new photos app.  How do you hide photos and videos so they only show in the hidden album.  Thanks

    When publishing from Lightroom to Facebook, you are always sending them to an album. Lightroom doesn't generate you posts though. Generally Facebook is smart enough to create just one post for all of your images published to a single album. If you are getting individual posts per photo there isn't anything you can do from Lightroom's side to change that. Try refreshing you page your newsfeed or timeline to verify whether individual posts are being created or if it's just a timing issue.
    Also, uploading images to Facebook will always result in your file having a different file name on the server and in the page code. No avoiding this, no matter your method of upload.

  • With update of iOS 8 lost pictures and numbers...where did they go?

    With update of iOS 8 lost pictures and numbers...where did they go?

    If the pictures are still on your phone, they may be in a different location as the camera roll and photo stream albums were removed in iOS 8.  This explains the new photos locations: Get help finding your Photos in iOS 8.
    Don't know about your numbers.  If you mean your contacts, if they were syncing with iCloud check iCloud.com to see if they are sill there.

  • Are all the pictures in Events in the master photos?  Are they duplicates?

    Are all the pictures in Events in the master photos?  Are they duplicates? I need to clean up my events list.

    Here's how iPhoto works.
    Every Photo is in the Library. There are two ways of looking at the Library: Events View and Photos view. There is no duplication here. These are just two doors into the same room, as it were, two ways of showing you the exact same data.
    The Library contains your Master photos.
    Everything else: Albums, Smart Albums, Folders, Slideshows etc simply reference items in the Library. Again there is no duplication, just the same data viewed in different ways. So the photo you see in an Album is the same photo that's in the Event or Photos view of the Library.
    This is like iTunes. Every track is in the Library, each playlist just contains a link to the track.
    To delete from iPhoto: Drag the items from the Library (either Events or Photos View, doesn't matter) to the iPhoto Trash. Empty it, then empty the System Trash.

  • Why aren't titles saved with the project? Where are they?

    Why aren't titles saved with the project? Where are they? Can I get them to be saved with the project?

    they aren't able to be exported as an entire bin folder ready for importing into another if needed.
    Oh, but they are! You can select multiple titles, or even a bin containing multiple titles, and use the same File > Export > Title command. Premiere Pro will ask you where you want to save the first (and change the name, but it will default to the name given in the project), and then will automatically export all selected titles without further user intervention. You can import them en masse or in a folder (to create a bin automatically) into another project.

  • After Mavericks reinstall, I copied iPhoto library over, but now photos missing?  Where are they hiding or how do I recover them?

    I was told by Genius?Bar to reinstall Mavericks and avoid using Migration Assistant, but rather manually copy over my data because of ongoing issues.  I have a newer version of iPhoto now (9.5.1, not sure the previous version).  I copied the iPhoto Library from the Pictures folder of my Time Machine backup.  I want to keep all the folders, albums, keywords, etc.  Now, several photos are missing and showing an exclamation mark, however the folders they were in are still there.  I tried rebuilding the database and had no luck with that.  I still have the Time Machine back up, but no idea where the missing photos are if they aren't in the iPhoto Library file. Most of the photos were imported from an iPhone and iPad, so not sure if there is a default location they would save to other than iPhoto Library?  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    but the Genius Bar guy specifically advised me to "drag and drop" my data
    That will not work - TM backups MUST be restored - not copied - seehttp://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US andhttp://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    There is nothing more to say - it will not work and you have proven that to yourself by doing it and having it not work

  • 6 months of iphoto pics now missing. Where are they and how can I get them back?

    Yesterday I was downloading some photos from my camera. When I finished I looked at my events and every photo and event from the last months were gone. The most recent download was preceded by pictures from last August and everything else was gone!
    I have been reading this discussion and I have tried a rebuild of the library = no success.
    I downloaded iPhoto Library Manager and I am in the midst of creating a rebuilt library, but something tells me that it is just rebuilding the library with missing photos again.
    Mac OSX version 10.6.8 and iPhoto 9.2.1

    yes, I found an iPhoto Library folder on the second drive that has a date of August 22 2011, which seems to be right, everything since is gone.
    So when I downloaded on Saturday i downloaded new pics into this old folder.
    Where is the other, the including recent 6 months iPhoto Library folder?
    I did not trash anything.

  • Snow Leopard 10.6.1 IMAP Sent Messages Missing! Where are they?

    I upgraded to 10.6 from 10.5 and everything was fine apart from push to the iPhone! In an effort to get it all working I decided to do a clean install, so backed up my mail accounts (which should now be in one place in 10.6) and everything else + made disc image etc. However, after doing the clean install, and reconnecting the backed up email accounts, I can only see the mails in the inbox. There are no emails in the sent messages! I have looked in the mail account folders and can’t see anywhere that sent messages are stored. I have also since the clean install created new users and sent emails to see if anything arrives in that users mail store, and nothing comes in that I can see, but they can see the newly sent message in their sent folder! Only sent messages prior to the re-install are missing. I have the old install of the server backed up, so I can access them if I knew where to get them from.
    Where are sent messages stored? It looks like they are going to some other location on the server rather than the specified location in mail prefs.
    Has anyone else experienced this, or have any advice.
    Cheers

    Hi, I used ditto (as root) to back up all the folders from /var/spool/imap/dovecot/mail/ and then to restore them – however, they are now in a new location on a separate drive which the mail prefs are pointing too. I have checked to see if anything is going into /var/spool/imap/dovecot/mail/ and nothing is there – which is correct.
    I have also checked permissions and they are fine.
    If this was a brand new install it would all be working as normal – I can see new sent messages, just not the old ones or old folders that users might have made.
    However there is no folder in the UID’s called Sent Messages – even with new accounts! The only folders are "cur" (received mails), "new" and "tmp". I have no idea where the sent messages are being saved too (old or new)! I was expecting a folder within the UID’s with the sent messages inside.

  • Save for web and devices preferences settings - where are they?

    where are the preferences for "save for web and devices" to be found? I am using CS4, PC Windows Professional XP

    The actual save for web preferences file for photoshop cs4 should be in
    C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Application Data\Adobe\Save for Web\11.0
    You should also in photoshop cs4 be able to reset the save for web preferences by holding down the Alt+Ctrl keys while selecting Save for Web & Devices from the File menu in photoshop cs4.

  • Standard and 1:1 preview where are they saved?

    Hi,
    I searched the forum but I could not find where the standard size and 1:1 preview are saved. Do you know where they are stored?
    I just need to get an idea of how much space a single 1:1 preview takes up on my disk to allocate the cache.
    Thanks

    They are in the Previews folder, which lives at the same level folder as the catalog, .lrcat.
    The cache is a separate matter.

  • I never deleted the videos. so where are they

    so i sold my ipod then when i want to watch my tv show i downloaded, they weren't there. now i never deleted them, im 100% sure. and the space on my hard drive is still getting taken up. in my tv show folder it only shows the shows i've already downloaded.

    Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store so they won't show in the cloud for redownloading - I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com so I assume that it's them that are requiring the one-time download.

  • Files not available in the cloud. Where are they?

    I've uploaded 2 files to the cloud but they are not visible there in my files. If I try to upload them again then a mesage tells me I already uploaded them. Where have they gone?

    Which Cloud? You can be storing files on Adobe’s Cloud services, Acrobat.com, and any number of other 3rd party Cloud services.
    How are you uploading them to the Cloud of your choice?

  • Symbols?  I need TM and copyright symbols.  Where are they?

    I ame using webfont Annie Get Your Telescope.  It does not show any symbols.  How do I add Trademark and Copyright symbols into text used in Muse?
    I there any html I need to add?  I'm NOT a coder, so I don't even know where to put anything, except in Page Properties head.  Anybody know??

    I am a newbie, but I think I have a better answer.  In the text frame, with the cursor where you want the symbol located, Just hold down the Alt key, and on the keypad (not the numbers along the top of the keyboard) enter 0153 and release the Alt key.  The TM symbol will be entered as a character.  Do the same for the copyright symbol (Alt 0169).  I think this is MUCH better than the Symbols Lite widget which requires annoying and difficult positioning and repositioning if you modify the text the symbol is being applied to.
    Another way is to just copy the symbol from any web page or document that uses the symbol, and paste into your text frame.  It is then treated like any other character. You can display the character set for the font family you are using, or select a different font family with one that specializes in symbols.
    Either approach is very easy to use, and much more usable than the Symbol Lite widget, it makes me wonder why anyone would use it.  Also, It allows you to use many more symbols than the Widget provides.
    Perhaps I am overlooking something?
