Lost pictures from restore from backup

I had to use the restore from backup feature due to contact being lost from some reason, but at the same time lost pictures

If the pictures were in the backup, they should have been restored. If you had pictures on the phone that were not in your last backup and had not been imported to the computer prior to the restore, then they are lost.

IPhone stopped restoring pictures from backup. How do I get my pictures back?

I got a backup done at the apple store because my camera of my iphone 5 (iOS 7) was broken and they didn't want my pictures to get lost. Since then it was trying to restore but it never fully did more than 2/3 of my pictures never restored. Even with good wifi it wouldn't work and now it just stopped and I still can't find my pictures and videos anywhere. How do I get my pictures back?

As I know, If the photo deleted, it still store in iPhone, if it isn't overwritten by other data, you can recover the deleted iPhone photos, you can search in google to find a tool to help you, I holp you make a backup with iTunes or iCloud, then follow this from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766

How do i restore my pictures from backup

So my old phone is dead and my pictures are on my backup with Verizon Wirelesss. how do i save them to my computer?

You can try a restore, but read the added comments below. To restore, Settings>General, scroll to bottom and tap Reset (delete all files on device). Then attach to iTunes and following instructions to setup. Along the way you should have the option of restore. Choose which backup to use.
Warning...
Many users have lost photos while preforming a restore from backup or upgrading the iOS. There are no solutions to this in most cases.
Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream. If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.
If you haven't been saving photos except relying on iCloud to store them in a backup, then that is risky, as many users have discovered. I'm afraid I have no advice in this case - there is no "cure".

Lost pictures from restore backup button...help?

hi everyone,
TOday I tried to back up my iphone to my husband's computer to back up to my Hd. I was soooo stupid but to make it short and clear I restored my husbands iPhone stuff to my iPhone so it replaced everything to my iPhone and I lost all my photos and videos of my children! Is there any way to recover it? We tried to go on iCloud but I don think I set iCloud so the photos weren't there...ugh all the half year worth of videos..:(
does anyone know any other restore options?

Have you not been importing them to your computer regularly?
If not, then they are very likely gone.
You should be syncing your iPhone regularly. If you have done this, then you may be able to restore from the last backup that you have and retrieve something.

Lost pictures from book

I would sure appreciate some help on this. We build a book on Sunday and when we looked at it today all of the photos are gone! What could have made that happen? How do I get them back. We still have the photos in Events, so I cant understand where they went from the book. We laid out 98 pages and the layouts are there just not the pics.

Ragmore:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Unless you have a backup copy of either the iPhoto LIbrary package of the Library6.iPhoto database file made at a time when the book was fully populated with the pictures you're out of luck. The dB file is where all of the book (and other items like cards, calendars, etc.) information is kept. What apparently has happened is that the dB file was damaged somehow and didn't keep the book information.
To prevent this type of loss in the future see the tip at the end of my signature below. Use the application like you would use the Save command in a text editor, frequently after changes have been made. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, only idle. I keep it in the Dock and click on it after every import or change to a book, card, etc.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Lost pictures from iOS6 Update

Hi, I just updated iOS6 on my iPhone 4s and lost all of my pictures! Is there any way I can get them back?

I rebooted and nothing. It says "restoring" but has said so for hours. I have some older photos in camera roll but albums are all gone. I upgraded Sunday and it is Tuesday. Perhaps I need to be in Photos on the phone and wait.
In the meantime, I am syncing my phone to my MacBook Pro to get the photos back.

Lost pictures from external HDD

Hello,
I created a new iPhoto Library on an external HDD. I had about 16 GB of photos there. I found the library blank (0 bytes) today. When I am trying to open the location from iPhoto nothing happens.
I have Maverick 10.9.2, iPhoto 9.5.1, the external HDD is ExFAT formatted.
I tried to use the Disc Utility to repair the disc, it appeared to be OK. I tried to rebuild iPhoto previews (cmd*alt at iPhoto start) and it did not help.
Could you give me any advice, please?
Regards
Frank

I have Maverick 10.9.2, iPhoto 9.5.1, the external HDD is ExFAT formatted.
ExFAT is your problem. iPhoto requires the iPhoto Library to be on a drive formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled).
See these documents: iPhoto: Issues with FAT32-formatted drives
and Format external drives to Mac OS Extended before using with Aperture(or iPhoto)

What probably has happened is, that you created the library on that drive, but iPhoto could not write to it and wrote the image files to a temporary storage. Check, if iPhoto created a new library in your Pictures folder instead. Did you reboot your Mac, since you imported the photos? If not, wait, unti you have checked the Caches and temporary directories, before you restart your mac, because that will erase any temporary files.

I have lost pictures from my iPhone to MacBook Pro in the cloud? Where did they go?

i have photo streaming on for all devices, but i have lost some photos from my iphone to my macbook pro. how can i recover. some came and some didn't into the library.

The native Youtube app was removed in IOS 6. You would have had to download the official 3rd party app, which has not been enabled for airplay. This is up to the developer to do.
The only way to do stream Youtube content from laptop to Apple TV natively is through Airplay mirroring, which requires a recent (2011 or later) model running Mountain Lion. The alternative is going through software, Airparrot.

IPhoto lost pictures from library

Greetings all.
I'm running OSX 10.9.2
and iPhoto 9.5.1
I do regular back ups and when I updated 2 days ago and then opened up iPhoto there are only a few seemingly random pictures left.
Upon searching my computer with finder for .jpg files I can find all my photo files still on the computer showing up under Desktop>Preview>(Master or thumbnail)>Then files are broken into files based on date.
How can I re-establish these files in the iPhoto library?
Thanks all!!

Ok... Here's something weird now.
I'm attempting to do the backup and it is showing my iphoto library as "Preview"
The "Preview" when selected selects as an iphoto library and contains the 20+GB of data consistent with my photos.
Why would it call it preview and not iPhoto library?

Find lost pictures from my disk app

I pluged my iphone to a different computer and by mistake syncronised it. In the process I lost many apps but worst is all the privet document I had stored in the "My Disk" app. Does any one knows how I can get those document back?
Thanks

No, unless you have a backup.
iPhone sync only with one computer. Syncing with another will delete iPhone content and replace with the new iTunes library.

Lost pictures from installing back up

I had a previous problem with my iphone and had to use a back up in itunes that was created 2 weeks earlier. I accidentally started syncing all of the pictures in my computer with my phone and ran out of room. Now the pictures and videos that were taken with my phone over the past couple of months are gone, They are not on the computer or the phone.

They are only where you put them. If they were on the computer, then you deleted them. They do not disappear as part of the sync process.
Syncing also has no affect on the pictures in the camera roll as it never syncs.

Lost pictures after restoring phone

I got a replacement iphone 3gs and when I plugged it into itunes I chose to restore phone for some reason. Now I can't find my pictures I took with the phone. Is there anywhere I can find them at or are they gone for good?

Were the pictures on the device the last time it was backed up/synced with the comptuer?
Were the pictures copied off the device, as intended, at any point?
If the answer to either of the above quetions is no, then there is no way to recover them.
