Lost photos while updating os

I have an iphone 3G and updated the operating system to ios 6.1.3 through the itune site. I lost all of my photos and did not have icloud with the old os. Is there a way to retrieve the old photos?

Photos in the Camera Roll should be imported to the computer just like any digital camera. If you performed a backup prior to the update, you should be able to restore to that backup, and the photos should be there. If you did not do a backup prior to the update, the photos are gone.

Lost photos while updating to iOS 5

First I updated itunes to 10.5, and then I downloaded and installed iOS5 on my iphone 4. Nothing was automatically synced before iOS5 installation, but itunes showed that it was backing up data. After installation, when itunes restored the backup, I realized that I'd lost all my photos, videos and some contacts. Is there any way I can get them back?

First things first, go to Settings > General > About. Look at photos. If it reads how many you originally had, they should be on your iPhone, just not showing up in the Photos app. This happened to me, it confused me very much, how could my Settings read that I had nearly 530 photos, but only about 150 actually show up? They were even in this tab called events, which disappeared when I did these two steps, which seem to have resolved my problem:
1) Sign into iCloud and turn on photo stream.
2) Power cycle the iPhone. (I think this is the step that actually resolved my problem)
Like I said above, I think step 2 is what actually resolved my problem, as with many iDevices, a simple power cycle seems to resolve many issues. From what I have read online, it seems that when iTunes restores your iPhone after the iOS5 update, it relocates your photos to a different folder, which will be found after a power cycle. Once your phone powers back on, go into the Photos app and check for your photos, they should be there and in the original order they were in before the update! I hope this helps you, good luck!

How to get back all lost photos after updating the iOS8?

When I updated my IOS8 I thought I lost my photos, so I have restored my iPhone but after restoring I have discovered that I lost all my photos, please advise how can get/ retrieve all the lost photos specially since I didn't do backup?

If you backed up to iCloud, you might be able to choose from more than one backup. Each backup made in iTunes on your computer usually replaces the older one, except if you use a backup to restore from. Go to iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices and check if there are more backups listed, which you can then use to restore.
Check these articles about backups:
Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes
Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
Choosing an iOS backup method (Should I use iTunes or iCloud to back up my iOS device?)

Lost photos while editing in iphoto

I was editing an album on iPhoto (while not connected to Internet, dont know if that matters) when iphoto crashed. When I reopened iphoto only the first (of many imports) import's photos were showing. I don't really want to reedit all those lost photos but when I plug my camera in it says that all photos were already imported and even shows the little previously edited thumbnail as an option to replace if i try to reimport (which I cancelled since those edits must be somewhere then) But why can't I view them anywhere in the library??

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with
Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File â Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Connection lost problem while updating my Nokia As...

Dear All,
I face a connection lost problem while I am updating Nokia Asha 200 using Nokia Suite
I installed Nokia software too many times, and tried to repair it. Also, I used another USB cable, but the problem still happen
While it is installing the software, it suddenly stops and show connection lost to your phone.
When I try to restart and reconnect the USB cable, the problem still happen

Thanks in advance

Dear Farby
Thanks for your kind and quick reply.
please note that I tried again now, and when the messages for connection lost appears again, I waited for 5 minutes, and nothing happens
because it shows me to do steps, as follows :
1. Disconnect USB cable from phone.
2. restart your phone
3. reconnect the USB cable
4. Wait for the installation to continue.
and when I do these steps, the phone restarts in a test mode, all I see is a test mode message over its screen.
I believe that this is a fatal error which happens through the installation process and which leads to unsuccessful installation
I lost hope in updating the software of this phone, escaially I need to do so, because I face problems with these phone, which doing a hard reset even don't fix.
Thanks again, Farby ... for your help
Regards,

Lost photos after update to 8.1.1

Hello
I've lost some photos from iPhoto '09 since last update. It's a few photos from some Events. Photos are lost from main library and I can't find them with finder too (in library package). Timemachine also doesn't see any changes in library, but I know that photos were there a few days ago. But indexes of photos are still in iPhoto, because there are black event boxes with photos but I am not able to open them (I see an exclamation mark). I've tried to repair library with CMD+OPTION -> no changes.
I think that problem could be in update package, because I have czech version of iPhoto.
Does exist any way to solve this problem?
Thank you very much
PS: Sorry for my unussual english, I am from Czech republic.

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, faces and places 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.

Lost photos while trying to import to iPhoto

I was importing around 800 photos to iphoto. I have done this many times and it is usually slow but eventually works. After a long time it was finally done importing all of the photos into iPhoto. Every time I do this I click delete from iPhone, so I can make room on it. I dont use iCloud, i was never really taught how to. But while it was deleting all of my photos it just stopped but they were not on iphoto and they werent on my phone either. So pretty much i think they are gone. But i dont get how they would be gone since i spent about an hour importing the photos and the photos said they were imported but they arent there now?? I would really like to get my pictures back if anyone has any advice that would be great!!

I have also just lost a few hundred pictures while importing from my Canon EOS 60D. Using iPhoto, I was importing about 800 pictures. The process appeared complete and the software was finishing the delete request on the camera when iPhoto would no longer respond. I forced a quit and crossed my fingers... about 500 pictures were deleted from my camera but never showed up in iPhoto. I repeated the download for what remained without a request for deleting from the camera and the cylce worked as requested. Unfortunately I am now without 500 pictures I was hoping to work on. This seems to be an ongoing theme for several users!!! A recommendation to download a program called mediaRecover did not solve my problem since it soes not identify my Canon as a data source for recovery. (OSX10.6.8 iPhoto 8.1.2)

HT4972 lost photos in update

i updadted my iphone in i tunes and done everything as i should but i have lost all my photos

Although photos in the Camera Roll are included with the iPhone's backup, so is a significant amount of other data. Photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera, especially just before installing an iOS update.

Help, lost photos while transferring, can only see in edit screen

while transferring photos from my camera to iphoto some pictures did not fully transfer. I can see them as small icons on the edit screen but the picture is blank in the event, how can i recover? While I was tranfserring photos message came up that home disk was full and iphoto kept quitting? Please help

While I was tranfserring photos message came up that home disk was full and iphoto kept quitting? Please help
What part of "full" is not clear?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on. Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.

Lost photos when updated to iOS 5

I updated mine and my husband's iPhone 4 this weekend to iOS 5. We both had photos on our phones that were not previously dumped onto our PC hard drive. My photos were still there, but my husband's are gone. iTunes said the phone was backing up the phone, so they must be somewhere, but we just can't find out how to get them back. The Genius Bar was unhelpful, so I was wondering if this happened to anyone else and what you did to get them back (if you were able to)?

First things first, go to Settings > General > About. Look at photos. If it reads how many you originally had, they should be on your iPhone, just not showing up in the Photos app. This happened to me, it confused me very much, how could my Settings read that I had nearly 530 photos, but only about 150 actually show up?

Lost photos while copying them from iphone to PC

Last night, while I was copying photos from my iphone to my pc via windows explorer, two out of four folders suddenly göne from the phone.
I could cut/copy the contents of two folders and then pasted them to a folder in my PC. Then I tried to see the contents of the remaining two folders. Although they were still in the phone memory, windows couldn't open or copy them. I did a restart and there were only 6 old photos plus one video in the memory. When I try to play the video, it says "The requested URL was not found on this server." and can not open it. Anybody with a similar experience? I don't have the copies of most of the photos and I need to recover them via one way or another.

You can retrieve your iTunes store purchases from the iPhone to the computer. Connect the iPhone, select the FILE menu in iTunes and select "Transfer Purchases".
You will not be able to retrieve anything you have ripped from CDs.

How do i get my apps back after i have lost them while updating

i updated my phone and all my apps are gone...can anyone tell me how to get them back please
thank you

If for some reason you failed to transfer them to your computer before updating, then redownload them.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Loss photos while updated 4s

Contacts are good, but apps and photos r not appearing. iCloud not showing anything and theres no recent back up

the auto-rebuild process can cause more harm than good in some cases, so play it save
If the database is damaged the auto rebuild can bring the damage to light. It does not actually "harm" the library; the harm was in having a corrupt database to begin with. Rebuilding does not risk the photos themselves.
call applecare, say iphoto when it askes for your system, iapps will take care of it for you
If they can get the solution here, then the call is unnecessary. They have little else to add to what Terence, Old Toad, and many others here can advise. If the auto rebuild does not work and the user has no reliable back-up, the next step is to create and populate a new library.
With respect,
S.
