Itunes erased my photos. can i get them back?

I just plugged my iphone into my computer and started itunes. Tried to get the new update. It reset my phone back to a backup from a year ago. Losing a years worth of photos. Is it at all possible to get them back?

Hi,
You should be able to restore your phone from the latest backup, which presumably will have your photos.
This page has the instructions. http://osxdaily.com/2010/10/21/restore-iphone-from-backup/

    Perhaps the copyright holders chose to remove them. What album were you after?

    Sorry, but movies cannot be downloaded more than once without charge, so if you don't have a viable backup, you may be out of luck. You can, however, contact the iTunes Store, explain the situation, and see if they can make an exception for you.

    - If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and see what backups and dates are listed.
    - If they are in the iTunes backup then get them from the backup by:

  • Playlists disappeared from iTunes after update. Can I get them back?

    All my playlists disappered from iTunes. I'm running Windows7 Pro. I must have lost the playlists after an update. I haven't listen to iTunes for a couple months, mostly Pandora, but yesterday I went back and all my playlists were missing. --- I do remember an update some time back.
    I tried to find an answer by Googleing my problem but nothing worked or was applicable. I found solutions that were older and that had tips like "Go under File in the menu bar and import...".
    For some reason I neither have File nor a menu bar , nor an import option. I can't even find out what version I have - but you can assume it is the latest because I always click OK when Apple throws an update at me.
    Do I have to start over or can I get my playlists back?  ---- I have used an assortment of  media players in the past. Mostly some smaller but brilliant ones and something like this never happened. I'm not sure how I feel about this happing with Apple's iTunes.  Usually I would have thrown it out but I need iTunes for my  iPod and iPad and I'm about to purchase an iPhone. So I can't let this one go.
    If I can restore it - or even if not - , I will make sure I do a back-up for my playlists. I have never done a back-up for PLAYLISTs in the last 15 years (!?). But from what I read some people recommended it for iTunes. I would like to add this question to my original problem: how do I make a backup of my playlists? Do you do it too? Is it REALLY necessary - or can I plow on more or less safely for the next 15 years?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    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.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
    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.
    Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied & renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
    If applicable, 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!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

  • Songs I imported from cds are no longer in my iTunes account.  How can I get them back without having to reload them on?

    There are 158 songs that were once in my iTunes that are now missing.  I put all of them on from cds.  The only songs that are left are ones that i have purchased.  When i pulg my ipod into my computer to add recent songs that i have bought it tells me that i need to erase and sync my ipod with my itunes library or cancel.  Well i dont want to erase my ipod and sync it with my itunes because that is 158 less songs that would be on there.  On the apple website it said that songs from cds are in the itunes media folder but when i went there it is still just my purchased songs.  I dont know what to do except reload all of them back on there but i really dont want to since im not the one who took them off!!  Im not entirely sure when the songs went away but i recently updated to itunes 10.4 (i think its .4) and im not sure if that is why they are gone. Thank you in advance to any help!!

  • I lost all my itunes songs. How can i get them back?

    My name is Nickie Berrellez. My computer got a virus and my pc completly turned off. I need help on getting all my songs, music videos, shows and games downloaded on to my new computer. Please help.
    Thank you.    

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases
    YOu buy one and only one download.  it is your responsibility to move copy/backup your music.

  • All My 560 contact suddenly are no longer exist eventhough I did not erase any how can I get them back???

    I was thinking to retrieve them
    Only from my laptop iTunes by just want to access contact application
    And nothing else I mean no photo want to retrieve or calendar because on my iPod I have more up to date info in calendar and note and more pictures in my iPod than iTunes last time I back it up
    Since last month??
    Please anyone had same problem and solve it ?

    thank you for the reply
    but there is no way to only restore contact from the back up
    otherwise i have to accept to restore all (includes notes, calendar..etc) and that would overwrite everything on my IPod.
    while I haven't backed up my IPod since 40 days, so I have more info in my notes and claendar in my ipod than the back up
    Please advise?

  • Lost some photos can i get them back

    Hi i was trying to tidy up some folders in Lightroom 5 and deleted some i thought were redundant,now when i open iPhoto the thumbnails are there but when i click on the image there is nothing,this is not on all of my photos only on the photos in the folders i deleted.
    I do have time machine on my Mac

    why are you using LR and iPhoto - they do the exact same thin in totally different ways and are not compatible in any way
    And you must NEVER make any changes to the content or structure of the iPhoto library using LR, the finder or any other software like cleanup software - doing so will lost data and photos
    the solution is to restore your pack of the iphoto library and of the folders you deleted
    Do you have a default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state) or a referenced library - (The iPhoto advanced preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library" has been unchecked) which is strongly NOT recommended.

  • My friend took my phone and tried to guess my password to unlock it, and he locked me out of my phone for a minute, but when it unlocked and i tried to use my phone all of my apps, photos, all my data had been deleted. how can i get them back?

    As Ocean20 say, your only shot at recovering the photos and data is to restore from a backup (with iTunes if you took the backup with iTunes, through iCloud if you took the backup through iCloud).
    The erasure is to prevent your data from falling into the hands of somebody who takes your phone and eventually guesses your password. If you feel that the inconvenience caused by this feature and your friend outweighs the trouble that somebody could cause if they got possession of your contacts and other data, you can change this behaviour.

  • IOS 5 Cleared My Apps/Photos/Videos - WHY? Can I get them back?

    I backed up my iPhone before updating to iOS 5. After installing iOS 5 and restoring the phone, my apps, photos, and videos are all gone.
    No other iPhone updates have this this, why did iOS 5?
    Can I get them back?
    Thank you

    I just encountered a similar problem, but just as frustrating.
    Yesterday I updated my iPhone 4 to OS5, and as it finished restoring, there was a message prompting an 'unknown error occured'. I found that all of the original data was present though, apart from the fact that all of the apps I ever had were now on my phone, randomly arranged. I decided to deal with it later today.
    Meanwhile, today I took a couple of hundred pictures. So tonight, as I wanted to sync them to iPhoto, iTunes prompted me to continue restoring first, as it found the process wasn't complete yet. Unknowingly, and given the fact that I've been through this process more than once, I opted for the restore to be completed, only to find my apps nicely arranged, and all data from the last day erased. This is highly frustrating.
    For the sake of completeness: I tried resetting, never interrupted the process nor disconnected my iPhone.
    If anyone knows a remedy, I'd be most thankful.

    You can transfer contents from your iPhone back to iTunes library:
    First, *BEFORE you connect the iPhone, please go to the iTunes preferences and select "devices", then select "disable automatic syncing for iPad, iPhones and iPods"*.
    Then, for those songs that you purchased on your iPhone: Transfer purchases from iPod to iTunes.
    For all other non purchased contents (your photos etc), their are ton of third party programs, some is free: iDump, Floola. Some is shareware, but they does preserve playlist/ratings/playcounts/artworks etc: iCopyBot, CopyTrans

    Everything should be on your computer.
    You should be syncing contacts and calendars with your comptuer regularly.
    You should be transferring all itunes purchases to your computer regularly.
    You should be importing all pics taken with iphone to your computer regularly.
    Most especially before any update.
    Have you failed to do this?
