Lost photo on phone...

Hello - I'm not sure how this happened, but I took a photo with my phone and then saved it to the wallpaper (or whatever it's called; the screen that first shows up before you move the slider over). The picture is always there, however, I cannot seem to find the jpg file it's associated with. I would like to have that file backed up, but I cannot find it. Any thoughts as to where it is?

Hello - Sorry I have not responded earlier: hectic summer. Anyway, I tried your program. Seems nifty, but no photo backup that i could find. I open the program, read backups, choose my phone, then there is this list of all my apps I have downloaded. With the exception of "iPhone OS Files" that's it. There is nothing there that would indicate that my lost photo would be hiding out in there. What am I missing?
And BTW, this lost photo was taken some time ago, I have backed up my phone on itunes a zillion times since.
Somehow I think I must have deleted the file after it was placed on my phone's wallpaper. I scoured iphoto and that particular file is just not there. But, it must be on my phone somewhere, I just need a way to extract it.
Thanks...

  • After updating to iOS 8 lost photos and phone hangs frequently 5-6 times a day n have to restart. What a headache!

    iiOS 8 hangs frequerry n I lost my photos.

    If you have backup the photos, you can get them up by restoring.
    At present, iOS 8.0.0 and iOS 8.0.1 have many issues, you can wait until Apple solve it or downgrade to iOS 7.

  • Lost photos when phone crashed

    3G crashed and was replaced. When restoring new phone from backup, no camera roll photos were replaced. I see them in my back-up file, stored as ithmb files, but can't transfer them to my phone, and can't open them on my PC. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks.

    Note we need clear specific facts to hwlp
    A Time Capsule is a hardware device and can be used for several purposes - are you uing it as an external hard drive or as a backup destination for Time Machine (an application on your Mac)?
    iPhoto is an application that uses  a database - by default named the iPhoto library and located in your pictures folder - what exactly are you speaking of?
    You do not "move photos" into iPhoto - you import them? what exactly are you doing
    If you are using your TC for a backup destination you must not have your iPhoto library on it - as TM fills the drive iPhoto will stop working due to lack of space
    If you are looking in a TM backup for photos that is not how you do things - TM backups must be restored to use

    Welcome to the Apple Community Noah.
    Photos in photo stream...
    You can log into your iCloud account on another computer or device and enable photo stream to see your photos. You should do this as soon as possible because photo stream in the cloud only keeps photos for 30 days and each day you delay, you will lose another days photos.
    Photos in the camera roll...
    If you kept a back up of your device you can use it to restore to a replacement device, this will restore all of the photos in your camera roll and isn't time limited.

  • How to recover a lost photo library on iPhone after ios 5?

    Hi guys,
    I know that there has been hundred of questions regarding lost photo's after installing ios 5 but I am struggling to find anything that relates to my situation.
    I installed ios 5 onto my iPhone 4 on saturday afternoon, but before I did this I backed it up. Everything seemed to work ok, I backed up to my mac rather than iCloud as I hadnt yet installed Lion.
    When I went to use my phone I noticed that everything was still there (apps, contacts, camera roll etc) except for another photo library that was in my photo app (the library was the photo's from my previous iPhone). I cant find these pics anywhere. I have tried using the back up twice but they still arent there!!
    does anyone have any idea of where they might be or have they been lost forever?
    any help would be greatly appreciated.
    many thanks

    The photo sync is one way - computer to iphone.
    You ould have to e-mail them to yourself.  When you sync photos to your iphone the current pics will be deleted.
    The iphone is not a storage device, it simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.

  • HT4623 i didn't transfer photos from phone to computer, can i recover those photos?

    So, when i first got my iphone 5, i didn't register on itunes, but when i connected to itunes, Itunes asked me to register my iphone, so i did, and lost all my photos and my phone reset to the settings of my 4s, how, if possible, can i recover the lost photos?

    They never do.
    If you are on Windows and actually have photos in the camera roll, you should find your iphone in the Explorer, only being able to copy and delete photos from this folder (you can't access anything on the phone except the Camera Roll).
    On a mac, open iPhoto and your iPhone should be found as a device in there.
    iTunes cannot copy photos from the iPhone to the computer...

  • Lumia 800 - recover lost photos/videos

    yesterday my battery ran out and the phone did not start anymore.
    today it started but reset itself to factory.
    can i somehow recover my lost photos? they are only on the phone.
    thanks

    just as fyi,
    this is a user-to-user forum, so while there are some nokia moderators, very doubtful that any engineers are on here, at least for the time that i have been a member...which may be the oldest in here.
    your best bet may be to go to the windowsphone forums from microsoft, or other 3rd party sites that have hackers.
    i am a fan of the linux platform, like you, and while linux is open, this system is locked out and closed.
    also, your situation is really odd. i have never had my device just run out of battery and self purge! something else must be in play here, strong magnets, jolts of static....
    i have had a couple of different units in my hand before and when in high dry places in the desert (las vegas) and grabbing the metal door handle to open it had strong shocks where it did effect my device....so i know that is possible...but just loosing battery and purge is really odd.
    i wish you the best.

  • I lost all my phone contacts after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS5.

    I lost all my phone contacts after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS5. It's not just contacts, my photos, messages, mail and everything is gone. I did the back-up thing on iTunes too before I updated the iOS. The only thing that restored was the apps. Is there anyway to get this back?

    If you no longer have service with AT&T, I don't believe you can.

  • Lost Photos

    I just lost photos in iPhoto 11. I imported my photos from my Canon point and shoot camera, did some light editing, closed and reopened iPhoto, and they were gone. No trace. Also the last import is an old import. I repeated this whole scenario and the same occurred. What do I have wrong? Could it have been my original method of migrating to my new Mac Air?

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.

  • How can I find a group of lost photos from iPhoto?

    When a recent Mac OS X update was installed on my computer which included the new Photo App, my iPhoto upgraded to this new app and was replaced by it on my desktop. In beginning to use the new Photo App, I discovered that it did not have the same editing functions as my iPhoto did. I decided then to go back to iPhoto, but when I opened up my iPhoto I realized in my album list that I had lost about a year’s worth of photos all the way back to the middle of 2013. I then decided to restore my computer to an earlier time using Time Machine so that hopefully my iPhoto would be restored with all of its photos. I went ahead and did this and had to do a rebuild of my iPhoto library to recover the lost photos. When I did this, I was not aware, that I had still lost some other photos out of albums from early September 2014. Before I was aware of this, I also erased my external hard drive and then did a backup because I kept getting messages in my computer that the computer could not do additional back up’s because there was not room on the external hard drive.
    Earlier today, I tried to retrieve some photos out of albums from that. In early September 2014 and found that the album listed the photo number but there was no thumbnail and when I clicked on the photo it just brought up a silver triangle on black with an exclamation point in the middle indicating that that photo could not be found. I did a command option press and opened up iPhoto and I completed all of the various rebuilding and restoring options all the way up to and including restored iPhoto database. When I had completed all of this I found that I was still missing those photos, several hundred. I am wondering if these photos are still on my hard drive someplace. I could not restore them from the external hard drive because I had erased earlier backup versions, as I indicated. Is it possible for me to find and restore these photos? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.-MP

    You created a mess and there is no solution - with the actions you have taken those photos are gone unless you have access to them from some other source - they existed in two place - in your iPhoto library and on your backup drive - you have traded the backup drive and restore an earlier iPhoto library so all you have is what you have
