ITunes did not made backup of Camera Roll
I have plans to update IOS from 5.1.1 to latest IOS on my iPhone 4s and yesterday I start it.
First I need to free space on phone and I start do remove unused programs. Also I need to sync my photos - about 420 photos, screenshots and videos with about 1.14 Gb size, but I saw too many "Other" space (about 3.5 Gb on 16Gb device) and try to decide this problem first. After googling problem I found that restore from reserve copy may help. I just used "Restore" options from backup and nothing changed after device reboot. Then I start to try other methods to take full acces to iPhone file system, but nothing happens. ALso I plug iPhone to Windows 7 PC and made backup there. Then I try to fully clean iPhone (without manual photo syncing being sure in its safety) and restore it from backup.
When I made It I found my applications with data are back, but Camera Roll was empty, even albums disappear (I used 2 albums which used for current payments info and showing part of my photo for other peoples). Also some SMS was lost (at least one SMS in my bank folder)
Then I try to find software to see inside iTunes Backup. I saw that my last ITunes backup did not contain Camera Roll backup! Only images used with MMS/iMessages are stored! I checked Windows iTunes backup and saw the same! I checked old (25.12.13) backups and saw Camera roll (about 850 photos) already synced to iPhoto and to Windows.I see Camera Roll of my iPad which I made hour before. I even checked backups of tools fof full access and did not saw Camera Roll.
Ok, I'm idiot that hope for automatic backup, and now I cannot return my photos.
Why iTunes did nod made backup of Camera Roll or why Iphone did not allow to make Camera Roll backup?
Why iTunes or iPhone did not warned me about failures of backup my Camera Roll?
Thanks for the super fast response, wow!
That is the only way I make backups, I don't backup to the cloud I click the "Back Up Now" button under "Manually Back Up and Restore", in the top iTunes window, for a second a message flashes that my iPhone is syncing, and then that disappears, the "Back Up Now" becomes solid black again (I can press it again), yet no backup is made. I was just reading that article, I have none of those symptoms or error or alert messages. I already have copies of my AppData folder because I made copies 2 days ago prior to the upgrade from iTunes 11 to 12 at the time I made my iPhone backup last. Now I wanted to manually backup the iPhone again prior to the iOS 8.1 upgrade, part of my backup procest. s is always copying the AppData folders have I have a new backup created by iTunes. So I'm baffled at what to do next. I had already restarted my PC and my iPhone before posting here to try and again.
From that link, I don't know what the Lockdown folder is, I haven't been instructed to reset it, hearing that word for the first time, so not sure if that's something I should be concerned about. My Windows is fully up to date, same security measures as I've always used - NAV and MBAM...

Why are some photos on camera roll but not in photo stream. Unable to backup as camera roll size is too big for free 5gb.
I assume you have Photostream on, correct?
In order for the photos to be moved into Photostream, you must exit the camera app, and be on a wifi connection. Both of these criteria must be met before the sync occurs. -
Hi all. Since updating my iphone 6 a couple days ago, I have discovered awful glitches in photos. When I save photos they do not get added to my camera roll. My Camera Roll and Photo Stream used to match. I would take a photo on the camera and I would see it on my photo stream. Yesterday, I added an edited photo to my camera roll by saving it (I thought). But it was not there. In the past, if I wanted a photo to post in any app, from Twitter to Facebook to Yelp, in order to retrieve it easily (if I had a lot of photos on my phone) I would sometimes text it to myself and then save it. It would be added to my camera roll. Then, when any app asked me to upload a photo, I could find it right at the beginning of my camera roll photos. Now, when I save a photo it does not appear on my camera roll. I discovered this yesterday when posting a Yelp review. I found the photo I wanted to use on my camera roll and it was way back at the beginning of the camera roll. I edited the photo. I saved it. It did not get added to my camera roll. So then I looked for the photo on the camera roll where I had originally found it way back at the beginning. The edited version of the photo was gone. Could not find my photo to upload to Yelp. Then I discovered it was the same with every other app on the phone.
PHOTO STREAM DISAPPEARED! This was my main problem and primary question until I tried to resolve the issue. I saw a message on my phone that said (I thought) that I needed to connect my phone to my laptop to restore icloud backups. So I manually connected my phone to my Mac Pro Laptop (2011) and backed up my photos. I made sure iCloud was turned on for photos. I have it set to Download and Keep Originals. It is also set to Upload to My Photo Stream. And iCloud sharing is turned on.
WHEN I connected my phone to my computer I got a message on my phone about setting it up for personal hotspot and it would not complete the update unless I replied. At first i did set it up, but it seemed to be an issue, so I simply let my phone and computer use my home wifi network. I don't need the personal hotspot, but it seemed to affect the photo issue further.
Now where I used to see Photo Stream and Camera Roll, it simply says All Photos. I am extremely confused. This is a mess. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!I restored it twice, once from icloud backup and then from my computer back up. I just restored again and set it up as a new iphone and now my photos are saving again. I was then able to sync apps and music from my itunes to my phone... So happy you wouldn't believe!!

Pictures not being saved to camera roll (or anywhere)
Hi all,
I was recently having some issues with sending/receiving data over 3G on my iP4. To try & resolve this, I did a clean restore of my phone. Since then, I have been unable to save any images from the camera (or email, mms etc) to my phone.
Initially after the restore, I synced my old pictures across to create a photo library. When taking new pictures they would not save to the camera roll, but a small image was shown at the bottom-left of the camera screen (but again, when clicking on this it would tell me there were no pics).
Also, the video function is now no longer working at all. It will open the video option, allow me to press the record button, but doesn't actually begin to records & greys out/freezes the camera roll icon, record/stop button & camera/video toggle button.
I have tried restarts etc, but nothing has seemed to work so far. I'm DESPERATE to resolve this by Friday as I'm going to see my newborn son for the first time & this is my only 'camera'.
ANY help/advice is MUCH appreciated!!!
SteveWell here is one option: make a new backup, then in itunes select Restore all over again which will install clean os. Once thats done, you can just activate phone with new temporary name & launch Camera app to see if its all fine & dandy. If it is then you can do a Restore from Backup: right click on phone in itunes & select 'Restore from Backup.'
Do any images show up in like iPhoto or Image Capture or Aperture desktop apps? The images might be there, just not showing up or something. With everyone downloading update it might take longer than usual, might want to wait for a less busy time to reinstall os? Just a thought. -
I ordered a ringtone that came as a song and did not appear in a position status to be added. It did not show up but came purchased as a song and now asking me to add it to a playlist. This is not what I wanted to do and I promptly follow the prompt to "Buy more options" to get what I thought was a ringtone. Please help!
The ONLY place to buy a ready made ringtones is from the iphone itself from the itunes app, then "More">"Ringtones"
If you bought from your computer, then you need to create the ringtone. You can create a ringtones from just about any song/sound file for free.
Google will find several ways to do this. -
I just noticed that some of the movies I had in iTunes did not get transferred to the iPhone 5. The missing movies are shown as generic movie icons in the iTunes panel and are checked to select them. But they do not show up in iPhone Videos. How do I get the original movies to show up again and transfer to the iPhone? I recently upgraded Mac OS to 10.6.8
1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

Just updated to latest iTunes. My library is missing playlists, some playlists are incomplete. User\username\Music\iTunes did not bring up a link to restore my library. Using Firefox, Windows Vista
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

I updated os on my iphone and itunes did not transfer my apps, what can i do?
I updated my iphone 4 to IOS 5, in the processs itunes asked me if i wanted to transfer my purchased apps to my iphone, I clicked on transfer, however itunes did not transfer the apps and removed them from my iphone. How can i recover the apps I purchased?
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
For device connectivity issues see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, and TS4062: iTunes 10.5 and later: Troubleshooting iTunes Wi-Fi syncing.

I am trying to delete songs from itune 11 library and i want it to delete the song from my hard drive as well. All my songs are in the music folder but not in the itunes folder. itunes did not prompt me to move file to trash nor is there an option to remove file to trash bin. How can i delete songs from both the itunes and hard drive at the same time?

could it be in the itunes folder or does it have to be in the itunes media folder, which is within the itunes folder??
A Espinoza,
The iTunes Media folder is set in Preferences > Advanced, and is the key to most iTunes folder organizational activities. So I doubt that the automatic deletion will work for files that are somewhere else within the folder structure.
However, I have not experimented with that issue in quite a while, so you are welcome to give it a try in iTunes 11. -
Hey guys,
I just bought a new iPhone but i can't restore my backup files beacuse it keeps saying "itunes could not restore backup because the password was incorrect" but I really don't know where to put the password to restore it. I really have some files that are meaningful for me so I really need help. Any suggestions anyone?Select your iDevice in the iTunes.
Choose the Summary screen (tab) and scroll to the bottom of the screen.
Then un-select Encrypt iPhone backup.
iTunes will then prompt you to “Enter the password to unlock your iPhone backup”, enter the password you set originally. -

I am unable to backup my iphone 5 iOS 6.0.1 (connected directly to laptop USB) with my itunes 11 for Win 7 64bits. The process starts and fails to complete giving the error: itunes could not complete backup of iphone because iphone disconnected.
I have restarted the PC, the iphone, changed the lightining cable and nothign resolves it: backup never completes.Hi, I disabled the antivirus and the firewall. Same result
I even deleted the backup folder inside C:\Users\...\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup to eliminate any corruption in the old backup files.
Nothing changed: Session either times out or i get the same error message: itunes could not back up iphone because iphone disconnected. It always happens during step 3 out of 4 which is "transfering purchased apps from iphone to PC" and comes after step 2 which is backup.
My iphone 5 is not jailbroken, and is a factory unlocked phone.
Any other suggestion?

i recently deleted imovie 9 .and i don't have a cd and i have not made backup from time machine ..i want it back.plz help me..
It depends how you installed it.
If you installed from your iLife 11 DVD, then you can insert the DVD and install it again.
If you purchased it from the Mac App Store, you can open the Mac App Store, go to the Purchases tab, and reinstall from there.
