Missing photos after updating my apple software to iOS 7... Helppp

So I lost a load of photos that I had stored on my iPad whilst travelling after updating the software. They then returned on my photo stream, and then before I had the chance to save them to my camera roll, they disappeared again... Surely they must still be somewhere if they returned originally? Does anyone know how to get them back? Some stayed but quite a few are gone! They're my memories from months abroad :(

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there (subject to a 1,000 photo limit) until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.

  • Missing photos after updating to new app

    I updated my MBP software and opened the new Photos app. It looks like most of my photos automatically went in there, but I am missing quite a few as well. Any photos from May to December 2014 seem to be missing from the new app. How can I find them, and if I need to import them from somewhere, how do I ensure I don't duplicate all the photos that have already imported?
    Thank you!

    I am still missing these photos. Any suggestions out there?

  • Missing photos after updating to iOS 8

    I recently updated my iPad to ios 8, and an album of my pictures is missing.
    A lot of them weren't backed up, but I don't see why they would disappear.
    I've searched through all my pictures and I can't find them
    If anyone has a solution, please tell me because I need those pictures.

    This did not work on my iPhone 6. I keep getting "Your tones were not affected", even though a month ago the ringtone that disappeared was my default ringtone on this iPhone 6. As far as I'm concerned, iOs 8.1.2 is a complete fiasco.

  • HT201210 I updated my iPhone software to iOS 7 and now cannot access Bluetooth or wifi (iPhone 4s) help?

    I cannot access Bluetooth or wifi after updating my iPhone software to iOS 7 on my iPhone 4S

    Same here--I cannot connect to my home wifi--and there's no option to re-enter my password/WEP--it just says "can't connect"....so far I've tried turning wifi on and off on my devices (iPhone 4s and iPAD 2nd gen), no avail. I tried re-setting up the network, no luck.

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
    Why are you looking in a shared library, is itunes set up as a secondary library.
    See This
    If you are set up as a primary library you need to look in my tv shows.
    When you say you have reinstalled everything, does that include itunes (if so how did you do that), does it include rebuilding your itunes library.

  • TS4036 My camera roll will not restore from iCloud after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 6. It shows I have 1.7 gigs of photos stored on camera roll but none are appearing on my phone. Everything else restored from iCloud.

    My camera roll will not restore from iCloud after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 6. It shows I have 1.7 gigs of photos stored on camera roll but none are appearing on my phone. Everything else restored from iCloud. When I go to iCloud.com my photostream is not there.

    A response I put together from another post. Also going into iTunes and choosing to sync phone to iCloud then back "this computer" sometimes works.
    First thing.. Stop where you are. Don't try to sync, update, hard reset, iCloud... Just stop.
    Check on your phone under 'SETTINGS' 'GENERAL' USAGE'. It should show some value for PHOTOSTREAM. Also, connect to iTunes and you will notice at the bottom of your phones summary page that there is a large amount of 'OTHER' data.
    I used third party software called iExplorer (formerly iPhone explorer). In this program you select 'MEDIA FOLDER', then 'DCIM'. In the various apple folders (IE: 101APPLE) you should be able to preview your photos and copy them to your desktop.
    From there sync them back to your device through iTunes or whatever method you use.
    There is a simpler solution I'm sure, which may involve using iExplorer to delete some .plist files then restart the phone and let it rebuild. I'm going to try it myself AFTER I've finished copying all the photos to my MAC
    Hope this helps.

  • Recovering Photos after Updating to iOs7

    i cant seem to find my photos after updating to iOs 7 yet i had backed em up on iCloud...what could be the problem?

    First go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and make sure your backup appears at the bottom (under Back Up Now), and that it doesn't say Incomplete Backup.  That will confirm that your backup exists and is usable.
    Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup screens on your device and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup.  Make sure you phone is connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring.  More details here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766.  (I don't believe you have to turn off Find My iPhone if you are erasing all content and settings.  It will prompt you if you do.)
    Hi, everyone
    I have a iphone 4 with iOS 6. And I wanna restore my iphone to factory settings. But every time when I click 'Restore iphone' from itunes, it will ask me to upgrade to iOS 7. But I don't want to use iOS 7 now.
    I tried to click with 'option' key, but there is no any version selection options for me. Can anyone tell me what can I do to restore iOS 6? Thanks

  • After updating my iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0 some of my ringtones are missing. What happened to them?

    After updating my iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0 some of the ringtones I purchased previously are missing; even though I have selected ALL ringtones in the preferences when syncing. Has anyone else had this problem and if so do you know why they are missing?

  • How do i get my contacts back after updation of the software on iphone 4S

    when i updated my iphone software to ios 6.0 all my contacts got deleted....what do i do?

    Hi there!
    May I confirm whether you used iTunes (while the iphone was plugged into the computer) to perform the update, or if the update was performed "wirelessly" through the device's settings?
    Regardless, your solution should lie within your last backup (typically performed automatically when the phone is "sync'd" with itunes on the computer).

  • Device not listed in find my iphone after updating my apple id password

    how to track my iphone5 that is already lost and when i sign in icloud my lost device is not listed in find my iphone after updating my apple id password. i also enabled icloud and imessage and facetime in that iphone using my current apple id that i used in icloud. pls help me

    If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then  on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).
