My hard drive broke and I lost all imported photos

I would always import all my photos from iphone and ipad 2 onto my laptop (windows). My hard drive crashed and I previously had stored a back up of the photos on a flash drive. But I needed the flash drive to install the one time Windows recovery install so I had to delete and reformat the flash drive. Is there any way to be able to get the photos back? Either off flash drive if I copy contents of windows recovery onto a new flash drive or from an icloud back up? I can't go the easy route and see all my back up son Windows becsuse this is a new hard drive. Thanks for the help. Also, the ipad 2 has been stolen so I can't use that one but is bought a new Ipad 2.

Obviously by my sign-on I am not on the Cloud - but if you are backing up to it - you may be able to get your photos back - depending on the type of backup and the amount of data kept.  
I have two external back up drives - time machine and one for a full backup of my library.   Also have burned photos on DVD & have them two places.
Once you go digital on pictures - no hard copy - you have to consider multiple backups.

    Hi,
    The simplest solution would to restore from your back up - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4112
    If you do not have a back, you can select first track on list in song view, from menu > edit > select all. Next ctrl+click and select download from pop up. You may wish to do this in small batches as it will take some time to download.

  • My hard drive broke and I lost my library,

    MI have managed to transfer my purchases but thats it any ideas pleasey drive went and i now have a new hard drive when i try and synch my ipad itunes tells me it will wipe out all my stuff on the ipad i reall want to transfer it to my new library as it took me hours to get it into the original library burning from Vynl and CD

    Depending on the definition of "broke" you might still be able to recover data from it if you can mount it in an external drive bay. Failing that...
    You should be able to:
    Backup the device to the new installation
    Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

  • My hard drive failed and I lost all my data. How can I download my CS6 again?

    I bought CS6 online and downloaded it, so all my details were in an email which was lost in the failed hard drive.  Can anyone tell me instructions on how to download it again onto my repaired computer?

    Follow the directions EXACTLY or it will not work. In fact, I suggest reading them twice.

  • My computer crashed and got a new hard drive. I synced my Ipod to the new computer and i lost all my photos. Is there a way i can get them back. I do not know if my cloud worked.??

    My computer crash and i got a new Hard Drive. I synced my Ipod to my Itunes and then lost all my photos that were on my ipod. I do not know if my cloud backed it up. Is there any way i can get my pictures back??????

    - If the photos were synced to the iPod they are gone
    - If they were taken by or saved to the iPod gp to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and look at the date/time of the iPod backup. If it is when you synced then restoring from backup should get the photos back.
    - If you had turned on Settings>iCloud>PhotoStream, then set up PhotoStream on the computer and get the last 30 days of photos from PhotoStream.  You should also be able to get them back by simply turning one Photostream on the restored iPod.

  • I run my iTunes via a external hard drive, however it has lost all it's contents and I haven't backed up! What can I do?

    I run my iTunes via a external hard drive, however it has lost all it's contents and I haven't backed up! What can I do?
    My iPad contents probably 75% of my iTunes library, but I'm scared to sync just in case in wipes the entire contents. I know I should of backed up but it was one of them jobs I never got round too (will def do now if my problem is solved)
    Can anyone help with a solution?
    Many thanks

    If all of your media is from iTunes, don't worry about it. You can either transfer everything on your iPad from your iPad to your commputer; and/or you can redownload from iTunes all music and apps, and most of everything else.
    If any of your media is from other sources, that's not so easily recoverable. If it's on your iPad, you can transfer it to your computer via a third-party application such as Senuti. (There are many alternatives to Senuti, some work just as well and are free.) Anything from non-iTunes sources and not on your iPad is completely gone, unless you have CDs or other physical media from which you obtained it stored somewhere.
    At least now you know how important it is to have a backup.

  • My computer hard-drive died and I lost the programs I purchased and installed via download.

    My computer hard-drive died and I lost the programs I purchased and installed via download.. Can I somehow re-download what I have already paid for? I am an unemployed student and can in no way afford to buy these programs for A THIRD TIME.
    I absolutely, positively NEED the Adobe Creative Suite in order to do my homework (I'm a web and graphic design student). I can not be without these programs!

    Yes, there are downloads available.  You should check you Adobe account online as there might be links provided there.  Your serial numbers will be needed for activation, and they might also be found there.
    Since you did not identify a particular version here are general links to all available...
    Download and Installation Help -
    https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html
    You can also download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.  Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

    Since you lost the installation(s) without deactivating them first you probably should contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations so that you have the two available to you in case you want to have a backup installation on another machine.  For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

    You cannot redownload ringtones.

    Unfortunely, all movies and songs purchased in iTunes will be lost...you'll have to purchase them again! Any applications you've purchased, you can download again for free.
    Music Rescue is a program you can use to transfer any and all data (music, movies, pictures..) from your iPod to your computer, and iTunes.

  • HT1473 My laptop hard drive crashed and I lost my ringtones, but they're still on my iPhone.  If I sync my iPhone with the reimaged hard drive, I'll lose the ringtones from my iPhone.  Is there any way to transfer ringtones from my iPhone back into iTunes

    My laptop hard drive crashed and I lost my ringtones, but they're still on my iPhone.  If I sync my iPhone with the reimaged hard drive, I'll lose the ringtones from my iPhone.  Is there any way to transfer ringtones from my iPhone back into iTunes?

    Thanks, but ringtones not purchased from iTunes, created them just before computer crashed.just before the next scheduled biweekly backup.
    I found and downloaded TouchCopy 12 for PC and was able to copy the ringtones from my iPhone to my Windows laptop very easily.  It also enables you to transfer photos, memos, voice messages, etc.
