    Lost pictures and contacts with last update of iPhone 6

  • Aperture v. 3.1.1 glitching and crashing with iOS 10.7.5 update?

    It is crashing every time I use a brush tool or do anything too quickly in general. I just updated my mac yesterday and that is when this started. I have tried restarting my computer, checking for updates, etc.

    Did you also update Aperture? Aperture 3.1.1 had a bug, that might cause crashes, when applying adjustments using MacOS X lion.
    You should at least upgrade to
    Aperture 3.2.4
    for Aperture to run reliably with Lion, if you cannot (or don't want to) upgrade to the most recent Aperture version 3.4.2.
    But before upgrading Aperture, be sure to keep a backup of your current Aperture library and to repair/rebuild the Aperture library using the Aperture Library First Aid Tools (Aperture 3 User Manual: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library). The Aperture upgrade will upgrade your Aperture library as well, so you will not be able to open it any longer with the older Aperture version. And the upgrade may fail, if the library has problems, like inconsistencies that can be caused by crashes.

    If the photos were not backed up with a recent backup, there is NO way to retrieve them.

  • HT201302 How to importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to my computer with Windows 8?

    myHow to importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to  computer with Windows 8?
    Nothing indicating iPhone 4s folder for images and videos in Win 8 anymore after plugged in USB cable to PC with the iPhone 4s. Nothing pop up anymore asking if I want to backup photos  / videos to my PC (used to pop up in Win 7).
    Where can I find this folder in iPhone 4s?
    Thks!!

    You can do it via your computer's iTunes. If you are on iTunes 11 on your computer then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), which might make it easier to navigate and my instructions may make more sense.
    To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from your library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos

  • I was trying to update my iphone software then it started to remove stuff, and it said it would restore since lat backup which was last year. Is my photos and contacts removed since then?

    I was trying to update my iphone software then there was an error and it started to remove stuff out of my phone. it said it would restore since my last backup which was last year. I dont care about my apps or music. Are my photos and contacts removed since my last backup?

    Did you fail to create a backup of the device prior to attempting to update?
    Why did you choose to update iOS without first ensuring there was a backup and that all of your media and pictures were on the computer the device normally syncs with?  Sorry, but that was beyond not smart.
    If you've lost media, pictures, contacts, etc, there is nothing that can be done without a current backup to restore from.  Hopefully you have learned an important lesson.

  • Photos and contacts will not sync from iCloud to iPhone

    Hi Everyone
    I have an iPhone 4 with the latest iOS (5.1.1), and have had to restore my phone due to sluggish response from the device, however I have had problems when setting up my phone again.
    When the phone was restored and I wanted to restore a backup, it said the latest backup was from 10/12/2011 (I'm assuming this was the last time I backed up to iTunes). The issue I have is all my photos and contacts are on iCloud (last updated 25/05/2012, it clearly says this on my device under iCloud section). I have looked about to try and find a way to get this information back onto my iPhone but have not had any luck.
    Can someone please help me find out how to get my photos and contacts from iCloud back onto my iPhone, having no contacts is a real pain! If anyone can help it would be really appreiciated!
    MESSAGE TO APPLE: Your support is a complete joke, why should I have to pay for your assistance on clear design flaws with iCloud and its ability to sync with iOS enabled devices. Also you should really consider allowing people to download their photos / contacts via iCloud.com

    me again everyone, I've managed to find my contacts on my iPhone. When I look under the contacts app it just says "no contacts", but if I look at the contacts tab via Phone they all appear, weird bug.
    Still problems with my photos though

    What instructions?

    You don't import photos from the iPhone to your computer using iTunes.
    See this -> iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    Note this only applies to photos taken with the iPhone. Any photos you previously added to your iPhone using iTunes should be copied from old computer to new computer.

  • Got 2 iPads. One used by my wife and the other by me. How to keep contents like photos and contacts separate? Don't want to mix infos between the 2 devices. Is it possible to make sure that they don't sync together?

    I stripped the old iPad (the one I gave my wife), so now she only has the contacts and photos "suitable" for her. When  Iwoke up this morning my iphone and my new iPad had only the photos and contacts that I left her on her old iPad!! That really *****! I've lost all of my contacts and quite a few photos. Is there a way to restore the old settings here?

    Are sharing an account with your wife?

  • How can i get lost pics and contacts

    Please help :(
    And if possible id like to get the message that were on my phone when it synced cuz those were also deleted

    No backup = No recovery.  There are no methods available to non-law enforcement or government agences that can undelete or recove iOS data not backed up.

  • HT1222 does my photos and contacts list erase when i update my iPhone ??

    does my photos and contacts lists erase when i update my iphone (ios update)

    Normally they do not -- but I assume that my photos and contacts can disappear at any time for any reason and act accordingly even when not doing an update. This and other forums have hundreds of posts of lost pictures and lost contacts caused by all sorts of situations and issues.
    In addition to backing up to iCloud or via iTunes, I would recommend that you import the pictures to your computer if you have one: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 and that you sync your contacts http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296

  • I upgrade to Iphone software version 7.0.4.All of my photos and contacts are now missing.

    I upgraded my iphone to the software version 7.0.4
    since the upgrade all of my photos and contacts are missing.
    Any suggestions on how to retrieve?

    So, I guess my iPhone upgraded without me being aware. But nevertheless I am now running iOS 7.0.4.
    I've noticed the last few days that I'm encountering sporadic contact  disappearance. I'll get a text, the notification shows their name, maybe a few minutes later i'll go to read the full message and now no name, just a number. I'll look and ALL my contacts are gone. the conversation screen has nothing but numbers and the favorites under phone are just numbers. Search can still work by name though so the phone "knows" that joe is 555-5555, but is not showing the connection.
    TEMPORARY WORKING FIX:
    Turning off contacts in my icloud settings and choosing to delete the contacts on my phone, then re-enabling contacts will pull them all back down for me. This of course takes about 5-10 minutes for everything to sync back to the phone.
    I've tried restarting the phone.
    I've tried resetting the phone.
    I don't feel like wasting my time with a backup unless I can downgrade to something before 7.0.4 as it is obvioiusly buggy.
    I am NOT going to set up as a new phone until this becomes a much bigger problem.
    I hope this offers insight to others encountering this bug. My mother has had this happen on her phone as well. Please comment at least if you experience this. the more people that have it, the less chance apple can play it off as an isolated event on my phone.
