Lost photos and videos

I upgraded from 3GS to 4s. I took a bunch of pictures on my new phone and when I connected my phone to iTunes, it eraced all of the photos and videos. Is there anyway I can retrieve them?

If you did not back the new phone up then no. You might want to turn off automatic sync on your iTunes to help prevent this type of action. Also, when you get a phone replaced, it is also a good idea not to do anything with it until you have restored your backup from the previous device. I'm assuming that is what you did before you finished the device setup?

Can I retrieve lost photos and videos from I pad

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.

Backup Problems - Lost photos and videos

I have just taken delivery of the 4G and it doesn't seem to have picked up on the "Camera Roll" photos and videos that I had with the 3GS. I made sure to back up the old phone before retoring it to factory settings (I have sold it).
When I tested it to make sure that all my info was off the old phone iTunes was still showing it as my account. So, probably stupidly, I logged out of my account, renamed the phone and restored it again. This didn't help but I think it may have "lost" the photos and videos that I had previously.
I have looked on the laptop for the files to try and restore them manually but without luck. Can you tell me where they may be and how I might recover them?

The camera roll (photos taken by the iphone or ipod screen snaps) are not backed up with a sync. They must be extracted from the iphone3G prior to restoring it using iphoto(mac) or a digital camera wizard(windows).

Recover lost photos and videos after 7.1.1 upgrade fail

Hi,
I updated my Ipad mini this morning to 7.1.1, and after it failed to update, I tried to install again, after which it went into recovery mode. It looks like the last successful cloud backup was 6 months ago, so I have lost 6 months of photos and videos of my young baby.
Photo stream was turned on, so my question is - can I recover the lost photos/videos from photostream somehow?
Some feedback for Apple: fix your upgrade process, and if there is even an outside possibility that it will remove all my photos and videos as part of the update, make doing a full backup before the update mandatory.
Thanks,
Craig

Recovering lost photos and videos

I recently deleted a lot of photos and videos on my iPhone 5. I am trying to get them back. I am pretty sure I have backed my phone up on iCloud before I deleted them. Please help me get them back

To restore from iCloud you will need to first go to settings>General>Reset>Erase all settings and content
This effectively erases all content on your device and then when you go into the actvation process you will choose to restore the device using the icloud backup in which your pictures are stored. A simple matter of retstoring your device from the icloud backup where you backed up your pictures.
Good luck.

Lost photos and videos after a restore on ipod touch

I forgot my ipod touch passcode while out of town. I visited the apple store for help and they restored it to factory settings and recommended that I restore it from my itunes account when I returned home. In the mean time, I took amazing photos in a foreign location. When I got home, I restored my ipod and, after it synced, learned that my amazing photos had been deleted during the restore. Is there any way to recover those photos/videos? Please help!

Not now. There was chance before you restored your iPod on your computer.

How can I get back lost photos and videos after updating

I am having a big problem I tried to use a back up but that didn't work out well.

You should be importing all pics and vids taken with iphone regularly as you would with any digital camera, most especially before any update or restore
If you failed to do this, then they are very likely gone.
All you can do is try a restore from backup

HT1689 i made a factory reset and lost all my data.. i have never synced my ipad to any pc or have never made any backup in anyway... is there any chance that i can get my photos and videos back....

my small sisters attempted to open my ipad several times and it got disabled.... i have never synced my ipad with any pc nor i have never made any backup in anyway.... i thought i could recover it after resetting... i made a factory reset through itunes and all my data was lost...... is there any way to recover my photos and videos back.....

- If you used PhotoStream then try getting photos only from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

I lost all of my photos and videos after download of iOS 5? how do I get them back?

So I updated to OS 5 last night an low and behold I lost all of my photos and videos? how do I get them back, I did do my download on my mac book pro. I would have thought that all of that stuff would have transferred automatic during the download of 5, but I guess that would make too much sense? So how do I get that stuff back?

I did the same thing last night also with my MacBook Pro. None of my music, video or photos not taken originally on my iphone were reloaded back onto my phone. I received an error message instead. I had to just re-drag the music and videos that I wanted back to my iphone. As far as my photos taken on my iphone...by chance, I had just backed those up earlier that day. I'm not sure where the photos are that I had put on my iphone in the beginning...they still show up in people's contacts, but they no longer show up under photos - ? This is very frustrating!

Can anyone help me in iphone mobile, i had lost my data in phone, because i restore my phone without backup, how can i get my old data, i lost my photos and videos... help me

Sorry Raj,
If you did not back up your information, and you have now restored your phone, then your information is not recoverable.
Sorry,

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.

I just restored my iphone to be like my ipod and I lost all my photos and videos..is there any way to get them back?

You restored your iPhone with iTunes from the backup for your iPod Touch?
If so, photos/videos that were in your iPhone's Camera Roll should have been imported by your computer before doing this. You could then transfer these photos/videos back to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process.

HT1766 lost my iphone and can't find photos and videos from camera roll on my computer. where are they?

lost my iphone and can't find photos and videos from camera roll on my computer. where are they?
thanks

Where did you put them?
These are not part of the sync process at all, as the manual tells you. You should be importing them to your comptuer regularly as you would with any digital camera.

HT1349 lost all my photos and videos

hello
i've restarted my iphone and i lost all my photos and videos unfortunatly
i do not have backup for it
please could you help me
i looking forward to hearing about it as soon as possible
thank you

If your photos and videos are gone and there's no backup, then there's not much you can do.
Next time, be more careful. Upload photos and videos to your computer as soon as possible after taking them so they can be stored and archived safely on the computer

HT1766 lost my photos and videos during update

Never backed up and synced my ipad mini. went to update to the ios 6 and lost all my photos and videos. any way of getting it back?

If you mean photos and videos that you took with the iPad itself, no. You can't recover them without a backup. That is where the photos and videos from the camera roll are stored - in the backup.
