IOS 8 update deleting picture

When I updatd my iPad to iOS 8 like 600 pictures went missing. I cannot find them in any folder, I never put them in iCloud. What do I do? And why is my iPad mini so slow with iOS 8 when my friends ipad 2 from 2011 is way faster?

My Iphone 5 got stuck right after I installed iOS8 also.  Mine would not let me past the Hello page.  I had an iCloud backup, so this is what I did.
Downloaded iOS 7.1.2 to my computer. http://www.iclarified.com/750/where-to-download-iphone-firmware-files-from
Restored My iPhone using iTunes.
-Launch iTunes
-Plug phone into computer and hold down the sleep button and wake button on your phone until it shows iTunes restore
-Hold Shift in windows 7 while you click restore in iTunes
This will erase everything on your phone and install a fresh version of 7.1.2
I had an icloud backup so I applied that to get all my files and settings back.  (you can not apply a backup from iOS7 onto iOS8 so that is why I did everything above)
I then tried to install the iOS8 update from iTunes instead of over the air.  No luck there either.
I guess I will stick with iOS7 untill the next build.
I hope this helps.  Remember if you do not have a backup that includes all your pictures and such don't do this Because all will be lost.
Has anyone else got iOS8 installed just to get stuck on the Hello page?

  • IOS UPDATE DELETED EVERYTHING ON MY IPHONE

    While updating to IOS6, my iphone crashed, and asked me to plug it into the computer. In doing so, iTunes used that to overwrite my backup, and now I have lost every picture and conversation I had on my phone... I am very very frustrated right now! Any help?

  • IOS update deleted apps

    Today I updated my Ipod touch 3rd generation 8GB. Recently I had bought a few apps including Angry Birds and Cat Physics (both great games!) After syncing my ipod, backing it up twice and installing the update I put all of my apps and songs back on it. I then went to play those games and they were no longer on my ipod or macbook i decided to look for the receipt for these it is was in my inbox, so i do have proof of buying these apps. I don't know how to get these back without buying them again!
    please help!
    P.S. i also noticed that my notes weren't saved and my progress in other games were not saved! HELP!
    Thanks<3

    You can simply download them again using the same iTunes Store account that you used to get them the first time. There will not be a charge for downloading an app that you already paid for before. The key here is using the same account in iTunes Store.
    More than likely your notes and previous data on games is probably lost for good. I have seen several posts on this subject since the iOS 4 update and have yet to see a satisfactory method of recovering this data after the update.

  • New iTunes, syncing, and iOS update questions!  Hot mess over here!

    I'm in a quandary and need some help. Bare with me if I forgot details.
    I moved all music to an external drive and a week later, it died.
    I got a new laptop and downloaded iTunes 9.2
    I've transfered all my purchased music and applications from the iPhone to my new iTunes.
    _*I'm getting ready for the updates and have the following questions:*_
    Some applications aren't showing up (ie. Project 365). Why would that be?
    An error message pops up when I want to "sync" my applications. Since I transfered my purchases, do I ignore?
    Do I need to sync my iPhone to my new iTunes before the iOS update?
    If I ignore the warning messages, will the iOS update delete applications?
    The iOS update has warnings. What will I lose?
    I am currently running an (3 hour!)iPhone backup.
    I swear I'm not that computer illiterate, but extraordinaryly cautious since losing everything.

    If you did not backup prior to upgrading and the cancel button is showing, do that now. You should always backup before doing an upgrade. If it asks you to sync your apps then do that. Your backup during upgrade will take hours because itunes is sending all your data to Apple instead of just internally inside your computer.

  • Downloading iOS 5 deleted all my photos, contacts, and text messages, i recieved an (-50) error during setup, and i was running the new update of iTunes.

    Downloading iOS 5 deleted all my contact, pictures, and texts. I was running the new update of iTunes and i still recieved an error of (-50). Can anyone help with how i can get all my stuff back? Also i just had updated my phone in October and it said the last time i updated 5/18/11 which is not true i am using a PC.

    I had the same problem and managed to get all my old contacts back. It was because I synced my contacts toiCloud on the initial setup, but nothing was in there. If you go to settings-iCloud- and turn off contacts, your old contacts should appear!

  • My ipad1 won't let me download books,apps or even update apps, it says delete pictures

    My ipad1 won't let me download books,apps or even update apps, it says delete pictures &amp; videos to make room for downloads but I do not have on my iPad pictures or video &amp; I barley have any extra apps!!

    The operating system takes up about 2GB, so that's why your 16 GB iPad has 14 GB capacity.  And if you only have 687mbs left, it means you don't have much space left to add to your iPad.  Do you have lot's of videos/Books/Music/Apps/Pictures on your iPad.  If you do and you want to add more, you're going to have to delete things before you can add more.

  • IPHONE 4 – UPDATE ISSUE – IOS 7 UPDATE DELETED ALL THE CONTACTS : PLEASE HELP! PLEASE HELP!

    Hello Everyone,
    Following are the seemingly essential details in regards to this discussion :
    iPhone Model = 4
    Purchase Date = 05.Jan.2011
    Initial Activation Remark = I used my gmail email account to add contacts initially. But phone always failed to sync (back) with gmail after the initial setup. As in if I make any changes in the iPhone’s Contact List, it won’t automatically be saved to my gmail account. But I thought to keep a full phone back up on my MacBook Pro will be safer option as well.
    Latest Full Phone Backup Date = 19.Sep.2013 [via iTunes-11 on MacBook Pro-OS X 10.8.2]
    iOS 7 Update Date = 20.Sep.2013
    >>>[It went "On" Automatically when I touched to read the details, and could not stop once it got initiated - Actually I wanted to wait until some reviews were out. ****.]
    Problem = iOS 7 update deleted all the Contacts that were originally saved on the iPhone.
    Tried & Failed = I tried to restore from the available 19.Sep.2013 backup from my MacBook Pro. It restored everything but still NO CONTACTS. If I add email [orginal gmail] account's contacts then it does not show the contacts that I saved on the phone locally; around 1100.
    I am in the great trouble because my 1100+ contact list just zeroed by this new update.
    [Also, my iCloud all got screwed up. I had earlier used my wife's credit card to register for iTunes, and now my account got her name all over it. There is no option to change the name on icloud.com. I will start a new discussion for this problem.] Though I am trying not to lash out on Apple (for now), but I think that it is seriously getting into my nerves.
    Could anyone please help me to get my contacts back? I will be eternally grateful.
    I still got the Full iPhone Backup on my MacBook Pro that I did just before the update.
    Please help. Thank you!

    Yes, I did.
    It restored everything [incl. photos] but phone contacts.
    And, after restoration the iOS was still 7.
    I tried twice but still no phone contacts.
    Please help me to get my phone contacts back!

  • I deleted my music through the "manage storage" section in the options to make room for the ios update awhile back. Now I can't get any music back onto my device through itunes. (I've tried restoring the device twice to no avail)

    I deleted my music through the "manage storage" section in the options to make room for the ios update awhile back. Now I can't get any music back onto my device through itunes. (I've tried restoring the device twice to no avail)

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • TS4062 ive recently updated my IOS, which deleted my music and apps, and it is now not allowing me to press sync, any help?

    ive recently updated my IOS, which deleted my music and apps, and it is now not allowing me to press sync, any help?

    The next iOS update won't change this.
    Are you able to transfer anything else from your iTunes library and computer via the iTunes sync process such as a movie, TV show, podcast, audio or print book, apps, and photos from your computer?
    What is selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

  • My iPhone automatically recovers some deleted images after iOS update

    Some months back I deleted few images off my iPhone. I understand that photo stream was 'On'. I noticed that my iPhone was recovering the images now and then. I put 'Off' all the sharing services, photo streams etc etc still my iPhone recovers these images after an iOS update. These are some sensitive photos and I would be in big trouble if this continues.

    What exactly have you tried?
    What happens when you try those things?
    What is the exact wording of any error messages received?

  • How can I improve picture quality...now grainy after IOS update!

    How can I improve picture quality...now grainy after IOS update!

    Hello, dreamer5th. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Here are some troubleshooting steps that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.  They are labeled for the iPhone; however, the steps also apply to your iPad.  Also, make sure to test the camera in well lighted conditions as this can affect picture quality. 
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

  • 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.

  • HT4623 Updated my ipad using 7.0.4 iOS, now my pictures in my photo stream are showing "JPG" in a grey box, how can it view my pictures?

    Just ran the 7.0.4 iOS update on my iPad &amp; now I can't view my pictures under the photo stream album, it's showing a grey box with "JPG" where the individual pictures should be, how can I view my photos?

    I had the same issue, 
    Mine was with sync'ed photos,  not Photo Stream, 
    I opened the iPhoto Library Package and removed the iPod Photo Cache.    Then resync'ed and everything started working great!
