Lumia 800 - recover lost photos/videos

yesterday my battery ran out and the phone did not start anymore.
today it started but reset itself to factory.
can i somehow recover my lost photos? they are only on the phone.
thanks

just as fyi,
this is a user-to-user forum, so while there are some nokia moderators, very doubtful that any engineers are on here, at least for the time that i have been a member...which may be the oldest in here.
your best bet may be to go to the windowsphone forums from microsoft, or other 3rd party sites that have hackers.
i am a fan of the linux platform, like you, and while linux is open, this system is locked out and closed.
also, your situation is really odd. i have never had my device just run out of battery and self purge! something else must be in play here, strong magnets, jolts of static....
i have had a couple of different units in my hand before and when in high dry places in the desert (las vegas) and grabbing the metal door handle to open it had strong shocks where it did effect my device....so i know that is possible...but just loosing battery and purge is really odd.
i wish you the best.

  • 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
    I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

  • How do I remove recovered photos (used photorec to recover lost photos) to have more space in my macbook pro HD?

    How do I remove recovered photos (used photorec to recover lost photos) to have more space in my macbook pro HD?

    Hello there, Shrid.
    The following Knowledge Base article reviews how to Sync photos:
    iTunes: Syncing photos
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
    You will just sync to the new computer. Keep in mind:
    Additional Information
    Syncing photos with your device will create an iPod photo cache.
    Syncing photos can only happen from one computer or user account at a time. Syncing photos with a different computer or user replaces the photos on the device.
    You can't reimport pictures synced from your computer to your device back to your computer. You can only import pictures in the Camera Roll or Saved Photos from your device to your computer. If you need to retrieve synced photos from your device:
    Email them from the device to yourself.
    Copy them from the emails to your computer.
    On iPhone and iPod touch using iOS 5 and iOS 6, all synced photos will appear in a unified category called photo library. Photos are not duplicated; this is a way to view all synced albums in one place. You can also tap a specific album beneath photo library to view individual albums.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro D.

  • How do I recover lost photos in iPhoto?

    How do I recover lost photos in iPhoto? Instead of photos I have dotted borders or, in a few cases white boxes.

    You could try rebuilding the database ...
    Launch iPhoto while holding down the Command + Option keys.
    The Photo Library First Aid window should open.
    Select:  Repair Database
    Click:  Repair
    If that doesn't help, open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist
    Click Go then move the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch iPhoto.
    If that doesn't help, copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch iPhoto.
    If you do not currently have a wawy to backup your iPhoto library, you need to do that so that you can recover your photos in the event of a hard drive problem.

  • How do I recover lost photos?

    How do I recover lost photos?
    I downloaded photos from a memory stick onto my desktop and then tried to copy and paste them to iPhoto using COMMAND Z but now have lost them.
    Can I recover them now?

    Well command-z means 'undo the last thing you did'... so I'd copy them from the memory stick again.
    File -> Add to Library will get them into iPhoto.

  • How I can recover my lost photos & video without backup ?

    Hi Dear ..
    I created a new album in my IPhone 4S ... I added 52 photos & video to the new album .. then i deleted them from camera roll to not have double photos .. I was surprised that photos were deleted from the new album as well .. I don't have a back up .. how I can get them back ? 
    Thx
    Zaki

    Yes, the status of iCloud Backup is ON but the latest backup was almost last year because the iCloud storage was full.
    I have tried the best 5 software programs for recovery and it didn't work .. I could return old contacts, notes, & chats .. except photos & video
    it must be a way ,right ?

  • Lost photos/videos

    I deleted some photos in error so tried to restore to my last iCloud backup to retrieve them.  When I restarted I had no photos or videos in my camera roll.  I got the Restore Incomplete message with the suggestion of syncing with iTunes.  I have never knowingly used iTunes since set up.  Would this even work for me?  Also I have no other computer or device to use to do so.
    I could live without the photos I lost in the first place but I really want to retrieve the videos I lost by doing the erase all content and then restore from backup.  I am so upset and annoyed with myself.  I just assumed that restoring from a backup would have it all there.

    As far as I know, you can only access the last three iCloud backups. There is no way that you can see the specific times in the iCloud backup. Photos and videos that you took with the iPad would be in the camera roll but you can't see each photo or video in the camera roll anywhere in the backup. The only way to access the backup is to restore from it again.
    Im sorry, but I don't know of any way of retrieving lost data from an iCloud backup. There are third party apps that will let you recover lost data from an iOS device, but I think that they only work with iTunes backups. I don't know that much about any of them, but you can look at this one and see if you can find out if it will work for you. I don't think that it is an inexpensive way to go either.

  • When I used time machine to recover lost photos, iPhoto lost my recent photos.

    Yesterday, I noticed that iPhoto was missing all the photos from one event that was actually a number of events that I had merged together fairly recently. I used time machine from an external drive to recover them, but when I restored the photo library from time machine, instead of having that photo library in addition to the one I had before, the archived version replaced the current photos, so that any photos more recent than the event I was trying to recover have gone missing. I tried to use time machine again to recover the photos that I lost while recovering other photos, but now it seems that all of the photo libraries that would be recent enough to have the photos I'm looking for now match the version of the photo library with the most recent events deleted. When I tried to bring the more recent photos back using time machine, I opened the photo library and iPhoto said it detected inconsistensies in my libraries and that it would merge and correct them, but after it did so, the library was still missing my most recent photos. Is there any way to recover these photos? I uploaded them before I connected to the backup drive, but I think they should be stored in the time machine backups that are directly on my computer, I just can't figure out how to get to them.

    1. You need to read up on TM and post detailed TM questions in the TM forum
    2. When you restore a file (or folder) you either restore to a new location or overwrite the existing file. You make that choice when you restore
    3. Not sure what error message you saw but iPhoto does not have any capability to "merge" photos or libraries
    4.  I am not even clear on what you have. Your post rambles a lot. Are you running TM with default settings. Is it always running and is the TM backup volume always connected?

  • Recovering Lost Photos

    Hi...My wife just returned from a family reunion.  She synced her phone to iPhoto.  When prompted, she selected "Delete originals on device".  AT THIS TIME...the iPhoto software crashed and quit.  When iPhoto was relaunched, the photos are NOT visible in iPhoto.  ON THE PHONE...All photos are erased.
    Thanks in advance for the help.  She's very upset and would appreciate any help anyone can offer.
    Thanks agian!

    Camera roll photos are contained in the iPhone backup.  If the photos were on the phone when it was last synced, and you haven't synced the phone again since this happened you may be able to recover the photos by restoring the phone to your last backup.  Note: this will revert all settings and data to those contained in the backupo, not just photos.  If you want to do this, do the following:
    Without connecting your phone, open iTuens on your computer and go to Preferences.  On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
    Connect your phone to your computer, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose your most recent backup to restore from.
    When complete, you can go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.

  • Recovering lost photos from delete icloud backup

    Hi is there a way to recover the photos from a deleted icloud backup? I know once on the Internet it is there forever.

    Unfortunantly there are no other backups...
    I am hesitant to connect the new phone up as I find that whole line of questioning that iTunes does confusing.
    I am never sure what it will do to 'sync' the old data with the new phone....
    I think I'll just try the free utilities....

  • Nokia Lumia 800 charging and photo messaging probl...

    I got my Nokia Lumia 800 in May and was great to start with but when I updated the phone to the most recent update  I started to get problems.
    My picture messaging wont work at all, when i recieve a picture message I get "get media content now" but when I try and get it, it doesnt work, I have taken my phone into the shop to see if I had the correct apn etc but they cant see any problems with it. When I took it back to where I got it from and they told me that they would have to send it away without giving me a replacement until I get it back, telling me I would need to buy a new one, I cant have this as I have a micro sim card which will only fit in certain phones. 
    I have also recently started to get a charging problem aswell, I have reset my phone but nope, and I have tried other chargers which dont help either, my friend used my charger to see if it would work in her phone and the charger seems to be working fine, again it seems to be a fault with the phone.
    I love my phone but I am not happy with the faults that seem to be happening now, as I need my phone to be in working order due to family illness. 
    Could anyone help me with this ? 

    Have you fully charged via Laptop ? If so let it run down 10% or so and connect to supplied charger and see if it will charge then, also if you have done a software update you could try reverting back to old software then re-installing latest again.
    Final solution is a Nokia Care Point !
    If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :

    recover lost potos

    I've had good results with iPhone Data Recovery - able to recover about 94% of files from undamaged disks with trashed files.
    It's $49 but much less than you'd pay for a data recovery service...
    But maybe this will be a good lesson to you to ALWAYS maintain one or more backup schemes.
    Good luck,
