Itunes deleted all photos.

So here is some more genius on behalf Apple... itunes out of the blue decided to delete all the photos on iPhone, it's not the initial sync..
I mean most other companies that give a little credit to the customers intellect, will ask, Hey there are some new photos here what shall we do?
But apple (iTunes) in all it's wisdom doesn't ask it just does, and removes what ever it feels like....
And no, there are no iTunes backups as this was the first sync in two months, so all the photos prior to the last sync are gone...
Fantastic, this zero interaction approach...
Forgive me but I have an absolute right to be annoyed..

It seems you have been very careless with your photos.
As with any digital camera you should be importing all pics taken with iphone to your computer regularly.
Your failure to do this has cost you,  as you would expect it to.

  • I have about 14 gbs of Other on my iPad. After searching, I notice that it is mostly photos. Years and years of photos. However, when I sync, I only sync the last 6 months. I have tried deleting all photos and syncing again. No luck. Any suggestions?

    Read the User Tip that razmee209 linked for you in the post above. If nothing in there works, there May be something on your iPad that is corrupt. Backup the iPad, restore to factory settings, and them restore the backup. If that doesn't fix it, restore as new and download all of your purchased content again.

  • How to delete all photos in iPhone 5

    I have downloaded my iPhone 5 photos onto my computer.  I now want to delete all photos on my iPhone 5.  I have over 2,600 photos to get rid of.

    YES you can delete all photos with one easy swipe~!!!! I just discovered how by accident when I went to delete my audiobooks for more storage!! You go to SETTINGS > GENERAL > USAGE > PHOTOS & CAMERA > and then just decide what you’d like to remove~~ either (or all) “Camera Roll” “Photo Library” or “Photo Stream” & Swipe to Delete! Happy deleting everyone!!

  • How to delete all photos in photo stream on iDevices??

    I've been trying to do this for a long time. I looked at similar questions and one answer said to take 1000 photos and put them in photo stream. I tried to put all 1000 photos into photo stream, but the one time that I wanted my photos in photo stream, it didn't work! Are there any other ways to delete all photos in photo stream or just plain delete photo stream?? Please help! Sorry, I'm still relatively new to Apple! 

    Go to the iCloud website and click on your name and then advanced. Hit the reset photostream. This will delete the photos there.
    Go to your devices and remove the photos in the photostream folder in iPhoto.

  • A update to iTunes deleted all my playlists. How do i get them back

    A update to iTunes deleted all my playlists. How do i get them back? I have a windows 7 operating system.

    No, they aren't sold anymore. If you have a backup you could restore them from it.

  • HT4847 My camera roll back up on my iCloud is coming up at 5.2GB how do I clear up space, will it delete all photos on my iPhone?

    My camera roll back up on my iCloud is coming up at 5.2 gb
    If I turn off the back ups will it delete all photos on my iCloud?
    Or delete all photos off my camera roll?

    If you turn off your Camera Roll backup from your phone backup on iCloud, your Camera Roll photos won't be included in the next backup, getting 5.2 GB more of free space. Photo Stream has nothing to do with your phone backup, because your photos will still be there until 30 days after adding them, when Photo Stream deletes the photos automatically

  • HT201593 The newest version of iTunes deletes all of my iPod Touch 5th gen audible and visual media when I delete or add music or video to my library and add it to my device manually. Why?

    The newest version of iTunes deletes all of my iPod Touch 5th gen audible and visual media when I delete or add music or video to my library and add it to my device manually. Why? I guess the question speaks for itself. I have the latest version of iTunes and iOS 8.2 on my iPod Touch.

    If it's any consolation i've just had a similar thing happen. Went to add a playlist and it wiped 35 gig of music off my iPod touch 64g in a nanosecond. I've got the latest iTunes and osx but do not back up because i keep different styles of music (and loads of it) in separate libraries and devices which i don't want mixed together. All my stuff is burned from cd so it's not lost for good and i've got a hard drive with the "lost" mp3 music on it but even so it will take literally weeks to prune the tracks for my iPod to be the same again. Why do they make it so difficult to manage your music on these things. I have massive amounts of music on my computer so autofill is a disastrous unusable gimmick to me. The whole thing seems to be aimed at 9 year old kids with about 6 mp3's on their phone rather than serious music lovers (for example accessing EQ is a joke let alone the lack of a manual option). I'm a dj and use apple for that reason but to be honest i'm beginning to wonder why. I'm absolutely livid. The weird thing is that my mac still shows the titles of the missing tunes in the 'on my device' window but as my macbook storage display shows no increase i'm pretty sure it's all gone. Nightmare. I have no confidence in this device anymore and could barely use the previous osx 8.2 anyway. Why they have to change it every ten minutes is beyond me. As the old saying goes 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' but this format just gets more broken every time they update. An absolute disgrace. Why not just drag and drop or delete. No wonder the iPod is said to be a dying device, it's for music, it is not a phone. Not fit for purpose anymore. I can't be bothered to read a massive 'how to use' article every update. Good technology should be easier and more intuitive with each new version. I suppose i'll have to phone apple at my expense to find out what's going on, or maybe that's the whole idea. Very very very not happy.

  • All my photos have been imported to iPhoto library. Is it safe therefore to delete all photos in the Finder pictures folder? It seems crazy to have them duplicated (all are backed up externally). And are they full size images in iPhoto?

    All my photos have been imported to iPhoto library. Is it safe therefore to delete all photos in the finder picture folder? It seems crazy to have them dupllcated ( all are backed up anyway). And are they the full sized images stored in iPhoto?

    Assuming you have iPhoto set to the Default setting, then yes, your full sized photos are copied into the iPhoto Library and so you can delete your own stored in the Finder.
    Easiest way to check:  Select a photo in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder Window should open with the file selected. Is it stored within the iPhoto Library? You can tell easily in the Finder's column view.
    As an FYI:
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • Why won't the delete all photos button work

    I press this button to delete all my photos but it doesn't do anything. Is it a new feature in iOS6? Is it buggy? Is it just there but not functional? It doesnt do anything after I press it (it doesnt delete all photos). Delete all music does work though
    Does delete all photos work for you guys?

    If you have Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution. If you would like to try perfect Virtual Button, tap Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock. You can even turn iPhone OFF with this button. To turn iPhone ON, connect iPhone to power ie charger or USB of computer.

  • Deleted All Photos !

    I am running iPhoto 08 7.1.3 and I have accidently deleted all my photos from iPhoto and from the iphoto trash can, How can I restore my photos and will I lose all my album folders etc.

    David
    Is it really so easy to delete all photos by highlighting all photos and pressing the delete key? I know there is a warning when I go to empty the iPhoto trash but frankly I don't think that is enough.
    Well David, you get the same warning as every other document on your mac.
    I'm curious tho'. How many pics in your iPhoto? Because iPhoto generally won't trash more than 100 at a time, for precisely this reason. For instance, if you were in an Album, putting pics in the trash doesn't delete them at all, just removes them from the Album. To delete from the Library you need to be in the Library view (Either Events or Photos).
    What is the iPhoto Library file in my Pictures folder?
    That's your Library. It contains all your pics and the database files that track them.
    Regards
    TD

  • How to to delete all photos in iCloud

    How do i permanently delete all photos from icloud?

    For photos in photo stream, log into icloud.com and click on your name.  Go to Advanced, there you can reset photo stream.
    For photos in a backup, you can't selectively delete files from it.  You can delete the entire backup (Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups), but are you sure you want to do that.  You can also turn off the backup of photos in the same place, but that won't help with the current backup.

  • Delete all photos

    I've discovered a major issue/bug with the ability to delete all photos on the iPhone. Not only is it difficult to delete all photos with one tap, it's actually not possible.
    When you tap the Photos icon from the desktop (by default), you are taken to your albums where there is a Camera Roll album and an edit button. When you tap the edit button, you enter a mode in which you can delete albums. However, the Camera Roll is persistent and has to stay in place, so you can't delete that and if you delete any of your other albums, the contents doesn't actually leave your phone, it's just not categorized anymore.
    There is a second method for deleting photos. By tapping the Settings icon, tap General, tap Usage, wait for it to load everything and you can see Photos & Camera. In Photos & Camera you can see Camera Roll. Swipe left or right on Camera Roll to reveal the delete button. Tap delete and you will notice that the screen goes back to Usage and you loose the ability to get back to Photos & Camera. Also, your photos are NOT deleted.
    Yes, there is yet another method for deleting photos. If you use iPhotos to import your photos on a mac, you can choose to delete all imported photos. But here's the thing, I use Drop Box to import photos automatically and sync all my files. I don't want to have duplicates on my machine just to delete photos. 
    There is no way to delete all photos with one tap on the iPhone until this bug is fixed and I really don't want to use iphotos on my mac to manage the photos just to delete all of them. Who do I report this issue to and is anyone else having the same problem?

    By tapping the Settings icon, tap General, tap Usage, wait for it to load everything and you can see Photos & Camera. In Photos & Camera you can see Camera Roll. Swipe left or right on Camera Roll to reveal the delete button. Tap delete and you will notice that the screen goes back to Usage and you loose the ability to get back to Photos & Camera. Also, your photos are NOT deleted.
    If you follow these steps, it's clear that they have given the user an option to do what I'm trying to do, except, there's a bug so it's not actually following through with the delete function.
