Lost new photos while restoring backup

Hi,
I recently switched from an iphone 4 to iphone 5. Before changing the phone I had taken a backup on iTunes on my PC (Windows 7). After getting the phone 5, I used it for several days without restoring the backup from iTunes on my PC. I had taken some photos during this time. When I recently connected my phone to the PC, iTunes prompted me if I wanted to restore backup. On clicking 'Yes', I got all my old photos in the new phone but lost all the new ones I had taken. It was so frustrating.. as if you are back to your old phone!!! Are there any ways to recover the new pics?? Please let me know, I really need those new pics!!

The iCloud backup includes most things except non-iTunes purchased but the iTunes backup does not include those either. For what iCloud includes see:

Hope its clear.

New iPhone restore from old backup and lost new photos

Hi there
I recently got a iphone 5 and from the excitement of seeing Obama in cape town, took pictures of his speech and even recorded my friends shaking his hand and have brief converstaions. Now when i connected the new phone into my mac, itunes requested a restore from old backup. So agreed, not knowing that all the new photos / movies of the US president would be deleted!!!
Can i reftieve them or not. and why doenst Apple provide such informaition to users for new restorations?
Please help!

Connection to phone lost while restoring backup

Hi all, I have NOS 2.0.2.42 and E66.
I tried to upgrade firmware on my phon. First I did full backup, than run upgrade. At the end of uprading I got message "Connection to phone lost"! I did not disconnect my phone, battery was full.
Firmware got upgraded (300.21.012).
Now when I try to restore my backup I get error "Connection to phone lost" (phone IS STILL CONNECTED and BATTERY IS FULL).I can not restore my programs and settings!
Does anyone know how to restore backup in Nokia Ovi Suite?
Cheers,
Mike

Same problem, different phone.
Nokia 6720 classic. I can't make a backup of my data. After a while it says "lost connection to phone". I tried rebooting the device, as well as PC, installing new drivers, installing updates, installing Windows updates.
Vista with all important updates.
I also tried to backup only contacts, which is the minimum requirement. As a result it loses connection instantly. Back up your phone - select "contacts" (uncheck all boxes) - continue and it immediately loses connection to the phone.
Something tells me Nokia needs fresh and highly skilled software engineers. Because this problem seems to exist within Ovi Suite - instant connection lost instead of "complete" message.

Tried to sync with previously used computer/itunes and lost new photos

I just synced my Iphone 4 but used my old iphone's setting (already on my computer) Now I have lost my photos from my 4... I'm not sure how to restore to how it was before I tried syncing it with my computer...

Sue,
I recommend an external drive to maintain your music. All your purchases are held in iCloud...so redownloading should be easy. Also, Home sharing is a great way to transfer to a new computer, but in the case of hard drive failure your options are limited. Home sharing is specifically for transferring to another pc. Good luck!

Inserting a NEW photo while composing mail is tedious

Many times while composing an email I just want to take a new photo and add it to the email I am just composing.
I would expect this to be possible in the following straightforward manner:
Open the mail app
Create new email, enter adress and subject
Write the mail body
Long tap into mail body, select "Take photo" (a non-existent item)
Take the new photo which is then inserted into the mail body
Send
This operating steps seem most natural and intuitive to me.
Instead in the current iOS I am forced
to switch over from mail app to photo app,
take the photo,
switch back to mail app,
select "Insert photo",
select the album,
scroll all the way down to the last picture
tap the picture just taken
confirm again that i want that picture
then, finally, the picture is inside my mail body. Whew!
This is extremely tedious, counter-intuitive and absolutely not Apple-like.
I just can't understand why especially Apple, known for its simplicity of use, is unable to handle this extremely common use case in a decent way.
Or am I missing something?

Thanks for your quick answer.
Your description presumes that I know I want to send a picture in the first place.
But many times my initial intention is just sending an email. So I open the mail app and start typing. While typing or just before finishing the email, I get the idea of attaching a nice picture of mine, just as an additional niceness. So, there I am stuck, sitting in the mail app and considering if it is worth taking all the fuss of changing an re-changing apps just to insert that silly picture of mine. Eventually I always end up leaving out the photo because it is just too much of a tapping, swiping and scrolling mess.

Lost internet connection while restoring iphone 4S from backup after iOS 6

Hi everyone..
I have just updated my iPhone 4S to iOS6 yesterday. It was iOS5.1.1 and was in jailbreak mode before the update.
I did sync my iphone and did the 'Backup' as well before the update by using my latest iTunes via my laptop.
The iOS6 update was successful.
However, the 'Restore from backup' failed.. many times!! Everytime I tried to Restore from backup, i lost internet connection towards the end of the 'restore in progress' process so it was never complete. I had to pull out the iphone cable or restart my pc every single time that happened. Because i cannot get an internet connection after that happened. I cannot connect to any wireless network, so I had to restart the pc!
(the iPhone says 'Restore complete' as soon as I pulled out the cable. But phone stays as NEW phone, none of my backup data was restored).
During the 'restore from backup' attempts (via iTunes 10.7 on laptop), I have tried:
- Restoring to factory settings first and then restore from backup = tried many times and still failed.
- Uninstalled Apple mobile device and iTunes and re-installed them = still failed.
- Switched OFF the phone and hold the Home button while connecting to the laptop. Restored to factory settings, then tried to restore from backup = still failed!!
- switching to different USB ports on my laptop including USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 = no luck, still failed.
NOTES:
-Laptop is on Windows 7 and have had NO such problems so far. I have been using iPhone since 3GS.
-Internet connection is via wireless router, steady connection.
-My 3GS was on jailbreak mode before. I bought iPhone 4S and successfully restored from my '3GS backup' without any problem.
-iTunes 10.7 installed/updated.

Nevermind.. I just found the solution to my problem.
I copied the Backup folder into my mate's laptop and did the 'Restore from backup'.
All is good now.. Only need to re-install my apps, soon after all will be back as per normal!

I cant find my photos after restoring backup

I deleted my contacts by mistake to I restored the backup on my computer but then I found out that the photos where lost after the restoring so what should I do now to get them back ?!!

Because Photos, like iPhoto and Aperture before it, replaces the Finder for anything to do with your pictures.
Use the Media Browser for uploading. You can access it from whatever website you're using:

Lost iPad photos, while downloading to iPhoto.

Hello Apple Community! I have a delicate situation for itunes, iphoto and ipad savies to help.
I downloaded some very dear and important photos (out of many more) from my iPad mini into my MacBook Pro, using iPhoto. When I finished and unplugged (I was careful to eject the device) all my videos and photos were missing on my iPad mini. All of them even the ones that I did not touch. Nevertheless something curious occured: if I use iTunes to browse the iPad mini, even when I do not have any sign of the photos or videos on iTunes, in the data bar down the window or dialog box the entire photos and videos and all other stuff appears as colored bars as if nothing had happened.
The iPad mini works with IOS7 and the MacBookPro with Mavericks 10.9
I am a new iTunes user and I am not used to certain features. next to the color data bar there are two buttons "revert" and "apply". What do they do? (I do not want to screw up)
So can enyone help me recover all my photos and videos please???
VitoF3D

No, the photos do not appear on the Mac or on the iPad while browsing them through iPhoto.
But curiously, if I open iTunes, when looking at the data bar at de bottom of the dialog it says the whole Photos are there. The bar indicates the presence of the whole 8202 photos in an orange color bar. So why iTunes display such information but iPhoto do not recognize it?
I downloaded some photos first, like 1000 and I wanted to download the rest later. Then I disconnected the device being careful to eject it properly. The computer asked through a dialog if I wanted to erase the photos I just downleaded, and I clicked yes because the whole operaton was indeed to make space to take more photos because the memory was almost full. Yesterday, half an hour from the downloading I realized the whole rest of the pictures were missing. Some videos and just one photograph remain and it seems I lost all reamining photos on the iPad.
iPhoto displays a message "All photos have allready been imported". What do you think is happening?

Time Machine asks for password to access sparse bundle on a new mac while restoring

Hello,
i know this is a common issue so i excuse myself in advance, but i couldn't find the solution to my answer so here i am.
I have been backing up (and restoring) to an external HD connected via USB to my TM.
my mac eventually decided to die (apparently doesnt like orangejuice and collapsed after a few drops of it)
my TM is configured with username access and i can correctly connect to my TM with a backup mac with my username and password.
the problem is that connecting in this way the TM wouldn't let me open the backup from the external backup (connected to TM with a net cable) and prompts me for a password.
i disconnected the external hd and connected via USB to my new mac and now the system is asking me for a password again.
i understand this password should be the one i originally had on my old mac, so i reinstalled the new mac and setup a single user with the same name and the same password, to no avail.
i think the situation is the same as in this post https://discussions.apple.com/message/21373828 which was apparently solved but the user "forgot" to tell us how
i am on a trip now with my HD with me (i NEED the data i will try till i die to get it back)
any ideas?
Thanks in advance

thank you for your answer, but that option would be good if that was not my company's mac and policy says to send it to repair (we have apple care) untouched
other than that, i dont remember setting a password when i first started the backup.
the backup was set by me in the external disk, but i can't remember having set a password for the backup specifically
i read in a post that the password has to be the same as my user's password.
in case it should also be the same id, i also created subsequent users with which to try to open the sparsebundle (502, 503, ...)
no luck
so, i wouldnt want to wait for the genius to open the mac and give me the hd back (which will happen in a week), because i need my data now and because i wouldn't want to get in a position i cant have my data back in case enext time is not the mac to leave me but the disk!

Lost all Messages after restoring backup on x2-01

i have a nokia x2-01 and i have backed up all my messages to a memory card... then i restored that backup.. and after restore there are no messages in my messages folder.... is there any way to restore all my messages??

The problem is probably that the mailbox has lost the .mbox suffix in the filesystem.
Report the names of the files and folders present at the first level of the ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/ account folder in the Finder.
In order to post the exact file names and avoid typing mistakes, proceed as follows. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/. With that folder open, if you’re looking at it in View > as List mode, first collapse any expanded folders so that the Finder only shows the files and folders at the first level. Now, do Edit > Select All (⌘A), then Edit > Copy (⌘C), and paste it in your reply to this post.
You’ll probably see an INBOX folder without the .mbox suffix there. If that’s the case, quit Mail and rename the folder to INBOX.mbox.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.
