IPhone 4 had to be replaced and pictures are now gone even though I did a back up!! HELP!?

I had to replace my iPhone 4 because of an issue with the power button sticking.
We backed up my iPhone right there in the apple store (I think with iCloud).  The worker then went and changed out my phone and everything was transferred but my music and some of my pictures.  When I open Photos it says "downloading 111 of 354" (which is how many photos I had) but it has been saying this since I've gotten it. My pictures are no where to be found on my mackbook either! I synced my phone and updated it when needed, so where are my pictures?! How can I get them back?!
The odd thing is SOME of my pictures transferred and some of them are out of order on my phone. How is it only some transferred? All were taken with my iPhone..
Please and Thank you!!!!

The iPhone has never synced pictures taken with the device to the computer.  It has always been the users responsibility (explicity stated in the User's Guide) to copy the pictures off the device to the computer.
Why in the world would anyone leave 500+ pictures on the device as the sole copy of those pictures???? Any intelligent human being would ensure that copies of important pictures existed elsewhere.
Unfortunately, if the pictures are not restoring from iCloud at this point, they are gone.  Hopefully you've learned a lesson.

    You should ALWAYS import all pics ( and anything selse for that matter) before any update. 
    If you failed to do this, then the pics are likely gone.  You can try restoring from backup.

This list tooks years to accumulate and I tried to find the file that contained the list so I could save it or copy it but I never could. Is this list somewhere on my computer so I can restore it?

  • Accidently installed NoScript, can't get rid of it and JavaScript has been disabled even though it says it's enabled - help!

    I accidently installed NoScript when trying to remove adverts/pop-ups. Now it's causing problems on various sites I regularly use and I can't get rid of it. It doesn't show up on Tools/Add- ons so I can disable and JavaScript has been disabled, even though it shows as 'Enabled'.
    Help would be appreciated.

    The usual method for uninstalling extensions and themes is by using the Add-ons manager for your Mozilla application, as follows.
    # Click "Tools -> Add-ons
    # Click on the Extensions or Themes button on the top.
    # Click on the extension or theme you want to uninstall.
    # Click Uninstall.
    # Restart your Mozilla application.

  • F.05 -   why the entries are being reversed even though I did not tick the

    Hi,
    Please advice why the entries are being reversed even though I did not tick the reversal button in F.05.
    Your assitance is very much appreciated.

    Hi,
    It is a standard SAP procedure by which the revaluation entries are automatically reversed. If you do not want to reverse the revaluation entries, you will have to Activate Delat Logic for the Valuation Area. SPRO Path is Financial Accounting (New)--> General Ledger Accounting (New) > Periodic Processing> Valuate --> Activate Delta Logic.
    Once you activate this Delta Logic, at the time of fc valuation, you will get the check box for Annual or Mid Term revalation will come. If you select the annual option, the automatic reversal will not happen.
    Regards,
    Amit

  • I just updated to 25.0 and I noticed the History drop down menu has been simplified and Back, Forward and Home are now gone. Can these be restored?

    I am running on a Mac (Lion) with FF 25.0. I typically hide the toolbar because I like to max out my screen space without having to go into full screen mode. So I typically use a custom keyboard command to navigate forward and back during my browser session, but occasionally the keyboard command fails and the page is unresponsive. In the past all I had to do was go up to the History drop down menu and choose "Back" or "Forward". I would also use the "Home" selection to get back to my homepage. But ever since I updated to 25.0 those selection are now gone from the History menu.
    Is there any way to restore them? And are they gone for all users (was this a global change) or are one of my add-ons simply not playing nice and causing this problem? TIA!

    On WinXP Back, Forward, and Home was last in the Firefox 3.6 versions and disappeared as of Firefox 4.0 - and hasn't been seen since.
    Doesn't the Mac OSX versions of Firefox have Back and Forward in the context menu (right-click), as Windows and Linux versions do?

  • Safari acts like Flash and Java are not installed, even though they are

    Even though I have the latest versions installed, websites viewed in Safari tell me that I need Flash and/or Java. I have searched the forums and tried every suggestion, with no fix:
    • Uninstall and re-install Flash
    • Re-install Java
    • Delete the Flash player cache (~ > Library > Caches > Adobe > Flash Player)
    • Repair permissions on the hard drive
    Flash and Java were both working fine until the 10.6.5 upgrade. Flash and Java both work in Firefox and Chrome on the same machine. (Everything is the latest version.)
    If anyone has a solution that will actually restore the use of Flash (don't really care about Java), that would be awesome! Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi,
    Install the 10.6.5 Combo Update.
    Then launch Disk Utility. Applications / Utilities then repair disk permissions.

  • How do I automatically sync outlook contacts to iphone contacts? My email and calendar does this but even though in settings I have the contacts ON it does not.

    How do I get my outlook contacts to automatically sync to my iphone 5? In settings I have it set up to do so BUT it does not. My email and calendar updates every 1/2 hour but I can't get my contacts to auto update. Please advise.

    Start with your finger at the bottom of the screen (about even with the home button) and swipe in an upward motion.  There should be a row of icons at the top of a grey field.  if the quarter-moon icon is bright white, tap it.  If it was (and still is) dark, take the iPhone in to be evaluated by a qualified technician.

  • Firefox recently updated itself, and all bookmarks are now gone. how do I get them back.

    no content needed. As I stated previously, all bookmarks are gone after firefox did an auto update.

    This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • My iMovie 10.0.1 has quit working. When you open it up, it just shows a blank screen, all my events and projects are now gone!

    Hi everyone,
    I have been using imovie a lot on my macbook and never had any problems. Last night however I deleted two events in my library. Then restarted my macbook as sometimes after working on it for a while it gets slow. So anyway when I opened it up again it just hung on a blank screen with nothing happening. It didnt bring up the usual screen panels for importing, or editing, or any of the normal stuff.
    My husband deleted the application and then reinstalled it. Same thing happening!! Any advice??

    Another easy way to fix this.
    What I've noticed is that upon upgrading your projects and events to work with iMovie 10, initially it will work... Until you quit iMovie and reopen it again. Any events with hashtags will show up without the star next to the iMovie event. SO, if you happen to read this, after upgrading to iMovie 10 from its predecessor, immediately change the event name to NOT include a hashtag/pound symbol.
    Otherwise, if it's too late, you can either do the above or this...
    Hold down option and click on iMovie. This will prompt you Locate, Create a New Library, Cancel this window, or Choose a different library. What you want to do is create a new library, call it whatever you want to, this will only be temporary. After the program opens, it should be a blank Library. Then go to File > Open Library > iMovie Library (your original library) and proceed to change the name of your events. Quit the program. Go into your Movies folder in Finder, delete the library you temporarily created, and your back in business.

  • Had to reinstall Cloud and trail is now gone.

    Recently I had to reboot my computer and got help here on how to reinstall Creative Cloud, well I got it installed but now I installed Acrobat XI Pro and it is telling me that my trail has expired.  If I have 30 days even with the problems I've had, I still shoul have at least 24 days left on  the trail subscription.  Can anyone tell me why this has happen and why I can not use the Acrobat XI Pro?  I downloaded it and on the same day I have to reinstall my computer to original factory settings and I had to install everything again.  I had problem installing Cloud at first but you guys help me out on how to fix this, so I installed the Acrobat XI Pro and now I can not use it saying my trail subscription is up.  Whats the deal?

    HI SeaberPA
    Did you have the Creative cloud as a trial before? If it had expired it may have caused the Acrobat XI trial to expire early too. This can be caused by the fact that you had to restore the computer or possibly by antivirus software running on  your machine. Sorry, once the trial has expired there is no other option except to purchase the software.
    If you find that this resolves your issue or was helpful, could you please take a moment to come back to this discussion and mark the post as helpful. Doing so greatly benefits your fellow users
    Thanks

  • Firefox updated and my new page tiles are now gone how do I get them back?

    I update Firefox, and in the process Norton became my automatic search engine and new page. I have tried everything but have not be able to revert back to the new page tiles. Can you help me resolve this problem? I have attached a photo of what my new page looks like.

    This is likely because norton automatically changed your new tab page in an update to its software. To change this, do the following:
    1. Open a new tab, and go to about:config
    2. In the search box, type in "browser.newtab.url"
    3. Double-click on the entry that appears, and in the text box that appears enter "about:newtab", and then click okay.

  • HT201317 I had my photo stream on and my icloud all set up, i just had the screen replaced and they somehow lost all the photos off my phone, but why wont the photo's reload back on to my iphone now that im connected to wifi again, where are all my photos

    I had my photo stream on and my icloud all set up, i just had the screen replaced and they somehow lost all the photos off my phone, but why wont the photo's reload back on to my iphone now that im connected to wifi again, where are all my photos???

    When photos are added to the photo stream album on a device (either due to a new photo having been taken or having been synced from another device using the stream) they remain in the album.  However, the syncing process involves copying the photos to the photo stream server where they are kept for a maximum of 30 days, up to 1000 photos.  If a device is reset or the stream is turned off or turned back on again (or in your case, the device was repaired), the photos that were on the device's photo stream album are gone and the only ones to appear are those that are currently on the servers (recall the 30 day limit).
    If some of your photos are older than 30 days, then they are no longer stored on the cloud and hence are not synced down to the iphone.
    Recall, photo stream is just a syncing service, it is not designed as a storage service for photos.  Always sync photos to a computer for archiving.

  • My daugther' iphone id under my wife's email and now all music and pictures are attached to that id.  Wife now has an ipad and looking at using the existing id for set up? Would like to establish new id for daughter and not lose or share music/photos?

    My daugther' iphone apple id is under my wife's email and now all music and pictures are attached to that id.  My wife now has an ipad and I am looking at using the existing id during set up?   Thus, I would like to establish new apple id for daughter, associated to her email account, however I do not want to lose or share her music/photos, nor share with my wife's id.  Is this possible, or is it best just to establish a new id for my wife, and then change the email address associated with the existing apple id?

    well if you establish a new apple id for your wife that would be best unless you email all of the existing photos to your email and then when you have established a new id then you log into your email on the new id and save all of your pics onto it by pressing on tthe pic for about 5-8 seconds then options will come up and you press the save to my album ..as for the music if you can copy and paste, through computer, the songs then awesome!

  • Uploaded my pictures from my iPhone to my MacBook- Some of the videos I made show that they imported and play sound, but no picture- are they gone?

    I Uploaded my pictures from my iPhone to my MacBook… Some of the videos I made show that they imported and play sound, but no picture… are they gone?Becuase they offer to delete what was imported, so to save space i did... Is there anything I can do to restore the picture?

    Do your videos play in QuickTime Playerwhen you reveal one of them in the Finder with "File > Reveal > Original"? Try to open the revealed movie in QuickTime and see if it plays.
    Check the format of the movie. You can see it in the Inspector in QuickTime Player from the "WIndow" menu: Window > Show Inspector.
    iPhoto does not support all movie formats and codecs that QuickTime player can play, and not all frame rates.
    See: Using AVCHD video with iPhoto '11
    If the movie does not play in QuickTime Player either, install QuickTime 7 for more codecs.
