Ios5 Photos and Videos Lost?

I just upgraded my iPhone to ios5. I also moved into iCloud. I cannot find any of my photos or videos. Are they lost in the upgrade?

Did you check backups in your preferences? (Windows-edit>preferences, devices Mac-iTunes>preferecnes>devices)
If no manual backups are stored there, you could check different places on your computer, such as windows contacts or address book, to see if they were stored there.
If not...this is a hard lesson to learn =[ You can follow these articles to prevent data loss in the future:

I cannot figure out where I did wrong, honestly speaking.
Or, maybe it is because of the automatic sync function in iTunes? This time when I connected the iPhone with the computer, I was reminded to update iTunes - then I did so; by default, "Automatic sync when this iPhone is connected" is checked so the computer was syncing with the iPhone via iTunes. However I remember that there were notifications saying something like "this iPhone was synced to another iTunes library" and I needed to erase this iPhone to sync it to the new library - then I followed; if I cancel, I wouldn't have any option to sync my iPhone with my computer.
Do you think it is because this operation that iTunes gave me the previous sync data that didn't contain the latest photos/videos?
iphone are meant to be sync to only one iTunes library.
so you went ahead with the sync and it erase all your data?

Advice for recovering from "The requested URL was not found on this server" error when browsing photos and videos on my iPhone 4S IOS5.1

Im not quite sure how I got into this situation but I have fried my Iphone app photo and video library. This demonstrates itself in 2 ways
1. The above error message when I attempt to play videos older than a certain date.
2. Photos older than a certain date - appear to be grainy suggesting that only the thumbnails are on the phone, and the full resolution photos have been blitzed.
This coruption may have occured as I have replaced my Iphone 2 times in the last few months for various reasons, where each time I have restored them both using back ups I have made using icloud. (I havent made an Itunes back up since the iclod came around)
In reading the support forums - it suggest to restore from a back up version. Is anyone aware if selectively restoring media content from an icloud back up is possible.
I have 2 Back Up versions on icould.
1- 13.5 GB
2- 7.2 GB
My hope is that the earlier 13.5 GB version has content I am looking for.
I am kicking myself for not making the occassional itunes back up, or at least use Image capture as a more secure way of ensuring my personal content is not lost. (I am loosing faith with icould).
Can someone suggest a good workflow for restoring from a cloud back up. I have already downloaded the most recent photos using image capture onto my mac.

Progress Update.
I made a back of what existing phtos and Videos I had on my Iplhone. I used Image capture to do this making an entire back up of photos and videoa that were still intact on the phone.
Image capture is god for this purpose, as it does exactly what you ask it to do without applying any rules or squishing the files back into iphote (which might also be corupted)
Image capture wil do the basic function of retriving the contents of the phone and save them as native files on your hard drive.
Once I did this I erased my iphone, and re intitialised it restoring an older back up from icloud.
As the retore was happneing - I did retreive the missing files that cuased the intial beviour as above, and I could play the videos that were missing in the above scenerio. The wierd ting was however that even though the source files were now back on the device, the thumbnail previews were missing. Where I ahd balck thumb nails for server portions of the resotred content.
I then went to bed as the restore is a long process. When I woke up the library had library had cleaned itself up. Mysteriously the prcess had deleted the files missing the their thumbnails.
This is very perculiar and bad behavior.
I am now repeating the process, and will attempt to download the missing content as it is restored and prior to the phone trying to fix itself.
Here are the lessons learned.
DO NOT rely on Photo Stream to keep back ups and synchornise videos from you IOS device. IT DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS CAPBILITY
DO NOT rely on iCloud Back Up alone - always fd an occassional iTunes back up or more reliably still always take a back up of photos and video files using Image Capture to be doubly sure that you a have backd up any content.
DO THIS NOW - dont wait to loose your phone ofr have your phone repaired by replacement at the apple Store. (I did both :-(

HT1689 i made a factory reset and lost all my data.. i have never synced my ipad to any pc or have never made any backup in anyway... is there any chance that i can get my photos and videos back....

- If you used PhotoStream then try getting photos only from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

I lost all of my photos and videos after download of iOS 5? how do I get them back?

So I updated to OS 5 last night an low and behold I lost all of my photos and videos? how do I get them back, I did do my download on my mac book pro. I would have thought that all of that stuff would have transferred automatic during the download of 5, but I guess that would make too much sense? So how do I get that stuff back?

I did the same thing last night also with my MacBook Pro. None of my music, video or photos not taken originally on my iphone were reloaded back onto my phone. I received an error message instead. I had to just re-drag the music and videos that I wanted back to my iphone. As far as my photos taken on my iphone...by chance, I had just backed those up earlier that day. I'm not sure where the photos are that I had put on my iphone in the beginning...they still show up in people's contacts, but they no longer show up under photos - ? This is very frustrating!

Sorry Raj,
If you did not back up your information, and you have now restored your phone, then your information is not recoverable.
Sorry,

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

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.

HT4910 I have lost photos and videos recently added to I pad

Can I retrieve lost photos and videos from I pad

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can always restore from your back up, assuming your back up was last taken before your video was deleted.

HT1766 lost my iphone and can't find photos and videos from camera roll on my computer. where are they?

lost my iphone and can't find photos and videos from camera roll on my computer. where are they?
thanks

Where did you put them?
These are not part of the sync process at all, as the manual tells you. You should be importing them to your comptuer regularly as you would with any digital camera.

HT1349 lost all my photos and videos

hello
i've restarted my iphone and i lost all my photos and videos unfortunatly
i do not have backup for it
please could you help me
i looking forward to hearing about it as soon as possible
thank you

If your photos and videos are gone and there's no backup, then there's not much you can do.
Next time, be more careful. Upload photos and videos to your computer as soon as possible after taking them so they can be stored and archived safely on the computer

HT1766 lost my photos and videos during update

Never backed up and synced my ipad mini. went to update to the ios 6 and lost all my photos and videos. any way of getting it back?

If you mean photos and videos that you took with the iPad itself, no. You can't recover them without a backup. That is where the photos and videos from the camera roll are stored - in the backup.

I got my New iPad in the mail yesterday. I imported my photos and videos to make a short movie. The photos had lost all their original quality. Is there any way to import photos without losing quality?

If you mean "optimizing for iPad," no.

Backup Problems - Lost photos and videos

I have just taken delivery of the 4G and it doesn't seem to have picked up on the "Camera Roll" photos and videos that I had with the 3GS. I made sure to back up the old phone before retoring it to factory settings (I have sold it).
When I tested it to make sure that all my info was off the old phone iTunes was still showing it as my account. So, probably stupidly, I logged out of my account, renamed the phone and restored it again. This didn't help but I think it may have "lost" the photos and videos that I had previously.
I have looked on the laptop for the files to try and restore them manually but without luck. Can you tell me where they may be and how I might recover them?

The camera roll (photos taken by the iphone or ipod screen snaps) are not backed up with a sync. They must be extracted from the iphone3G prior to restoring it using iphoto(mac) or a digital camera wizard(windows).

I just updated my friends ipad 2 for the 1st time since he bought it, we lost all photos and videos. how can i recover them? he didn't had the chance to sync it on his itunes.thanks
