Lost photos and other info
Hi after changing the background on my ibook and accounts i have lost all my photos in iphoto and other info like firefox bookmarks and addons ect.
Two questions... Why has this happened? and more importantly how do i get the data back?
Any help will be appreciated

It's also comforting to back-up your computer. Normally, you would write your photos to optical media; then just insert these when needed. I keep my KeyChain, Bookmarks, &c on a CD. Nothing else I have is really important.
However, the G3 won't write optical media, or DVDs at least. I use an old iPod as a backup disk for the G3 iBooks here, but you might be able to write CDs (I can't remember).
In any case, everyone should probably look into backup devices, media, & strategies.

Lost photos and other errors, Complaint letter
I would like to send Apple a formal complaint letter letting them know how greatly disappointed I am with their products. I was a great fan of Apple and I was even considering buying a new Mac but I am no longer so sure.
For a while I dealt with MobileMe Calendar crashing constantly while trying to enter meetings and other important events. I just figured that they would get to it sooner or later. I have lived with the fact that my iPhone and my iPad lose the wifi connection they have constantly without any logical reason. I have ignored the fact that I cannot use many webpages on my iPhone or my iPad that use flash (including pages the US Army has) or are just not compatible like many realestate MLS search sites, I have watched as iTunes crashed and froze many times on my computer, and I have even put up with the fact that backing up my iPhone can take in excess sometimes of 8 hours.
But today I think I have had it finally, I lost photos that I had taken of my 1 week old daughter born July 1st; as well as photos from the US Army Black Hawk flight training course (I am a Uh-60 pilot in the Army). These were photos that I thought had been backed up on my computer by iTunes, these were photo's that I can never get back now, these are memories that I had wanted to keep. For many years before I joined the Army I was a computer systems engineer and I have a B.S. in Computer Info Sys; so I know how to use a computer lets not assume that the error is on the user behalf in this instance.
Thanks to Apple and thier team of programmers, I have lost some very importnat memories that I can never get back. I am sure any parent or soldier that has lost photos like these would agree there is no excuse, especially when you did everything the way you thought it should have been done. I am more than a little angry that Apple cant seem to get it right when it comes to iTunes and the iPhone, if they want people to use the product then make it work so they don't lose things like I have.
Does any know of an Apple email address that I should send this to with someone that would care on the other end? I am just very disappointed and want to be heard.
From,
A Very Disappointed Army Parenthttp://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

Is there anyone that is able to help me with this issue pls
In that case you'll have to use a 3rd party software to get everything off of your phone and onto your computer. Google: iPad/iPhone/iPod to Computer Transfer. You have to pay for it but it's really worth it. You get free updates for life. I've used it several times.

i lost data worth 2 months when i was updating the ios7 software on my iphone 5 .....
unfortunatley i forgot to perform a backup in that time span as well....
is there a way of recovering txt msgs photos and other saved data from a particular span? without backups?Without a backup there is no way to recover data.
Seems you've learned a valuable lesson about how important it is do regularly backup the device. -
Using iPhoto, I want to move photo from one event to another I export it to desktop and then reimport. Titles and other info vanish; only the original jpg number comes thru. How do I avoid this?
Don't do that - flag the photo and go to the target event and use the add flagged photo to selected event command to move it intact within iPhoto

My iPhone 5s on ios 8.1.2 is stuck at Apple logo or recovery mode.. To fix this issue, i need to update it to ios 8.2 through itunes.. I want to ask that my data i.e. Photos and other personal data would be removed after updating it or not..?
if yes then how can i save my data or get out of recovery mode.. Is there any safe mode or something like that on which i could access my data..
P.S. I have not taken any backup of my iPhone on itunes..
Please help me sort out this issue..Recovery mode doesn't mean that all your data is already lost. You only lose your data if you restore it.
When you plug the phone is into iTunes hold down the home button. iTunes may then give you the option JUST to update the software first. This should not get rid of any data.
However, if iTunes is only giving you the option to RESTORE and update, then you will lose your data I'm afraid.
Hope that helps! -
Bought 10 gb Uploaded Iphone and IPad2, left with 2gb space. How to view pictures and other info in ICloud? Can I upload documents from my desktop (Windows os)?
Thanks.If you backed up your iphone to icloud, then there's a chance that doing a restore might bring back your photos. I say "chance" because many users have tried that (assuming they had photos turned in for backups in settings), but ended up not getting back any photos. If that happens, then they are gone.
Remember, you should have been syncing photos all along to a computer for archiving. Don't trust the pictures to an icloud backup. -

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can always restore from your back up, assuming your back up was last taken before your video was deleted. -

I am considering buying an iPad 3. I have an iMac with OSX 10.6.8. On the iMac I have many photos and work with iPhoto and Photoshop Elements on the computer. Can I interchange or transfer photos and other work from the iMac to the iPad? How?

Yes you can. In iPhoto create a Album with the photos you want in it. You can drag them from your Events folder. In iTunes with your iPad connected go to Photos by cliking on your iPad. You can then select the album or events you want. -

hi , i want to see all my photos and other throo the icloud in the computer how i can do it ?
Well, the obvious advice is to restore your mac's backup to the new drive - I assume you've been using Time Machine.
If you haven't been backing up the mac, then ...
For photos, sync the iphone to the mac vis iTunes/USB and get the photos back into iPhone on the mac. Getting back the itunes is another problem. You can look for mac apps that read an iOS device and copy songs to the mac. But that won't get back all the other information that iTunes used to have. Again, only a backup would restore all that data. As for purchased items from the iTunes store, use the mac and connect to the store via itunes and check the purchased tab or link. There you can redownload all purchased music and other items. -

I've a problem with sync of photos and others. When I sync music or videos in iTunes (I've 7.5) it runs perfect, but when I want to sync photos, contacts or bookmarks it doesn't function. On iPod there is still Sync in Progress and in the iTunes there is Syncin "..." ...
Where's the bug?Hi there. I'm having the same problem: my iPad won't import some photos from a folder, saying that they can't be read. They are all JPEGS and some photos taken at the same time have synched fine, but out of a folder with 200 photos, it only lets me synch 37. I'm synching albums created via Photoshop Elements 6, which has worked fine until now.
I've tried deleting all photos and re-synching, and have also deleted the iPod Photo Cache, but it hasn't made a difference.
The iPad auto-updated to the latest version of iTunes, so maybe that's what's causing it?
Any advice gratefully received! -
I had to re-install OS X recently and lost iPhoto and other ilife apps. Do I have to buy them now?, I had to re-install OS X recently and lost iPhoto and other ilife apps. Do I have to buy them now?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
This is normal. OS X doesn't come with iLife apps, so you have to reinstall them after reinstalling Mac OS X.
If your Mac came without DVDs or you purchased it after July 2011, you have to install the iLife applications from the Mac App Store. Open the Mac App Store, log in with your Apple ID, go to Purchases and download GarageBand, iMovie and iPhoto free of charge.
If your Mac came with DVDs and you didn't purchase the iLife apps in the Mac App Store, insert the Applications DVD and install the iLife apps. Then, open > Software Update, and install the latest iLife applications version
