My iPhone 5 was restored from backup, and while it was restoring everything else all my pictures slowly went from 900 to none. where did they go and how do I get them back?

My iPhone has been acting very strange lately and the only way to get it to turn on and function is to restore it. I restored it from a backup of my phone before I restored it. I was mostly worried about my pictures. I was relieved to see them all there,
until the number of photos in my camera roll and other albums began to go down. soon enough, all the pictures I had restored were deleted. where did they go and how can I get them back?

Hi bluegrandpanash,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you backed up your iPhone to iCloud before updating the software, first try the steps under "Restore from an iCloud backup" in this article to recover your data:

    The person that found them has deleted them on the phone so you iCal is gone is what I can figure.

  • I accidently created files using a Free Trial version of InDesign. Now the files are gone. Where did they go? How do I get them back? I pay for this service...

    I accidentally created files using a Free Trial version of InDesign. Now the files are gone. Where did they go? How do I get them back? I pay for Creative Cloud... but used the wrong login apparently.

    Files you save don't disappear, even if you no longer have the software that created them. They're right where you saved them.

    Hello there, tonjay82.
    There are some great sources of information in the following article that might help you in resolving the issue at hand:
    iOS: Understanding Restrictions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4213
    Particularly of note is the following:
    You can enable and adjust Restrictions, or Parental Controls, on your device to prevent access to specific features or content on the device. Locate these settings by tapping Settings > General > Restrictions.
            and
    Additional Information
    If your iOS device is missing a particular application or if a certain feature is not available, ensure that Restrictions are not enabled. Symptoms can include:
    App missing from the Home screen (Safari, Camera, or YouTube for example)
    Feature or service unavailable (Siri, Location Services, and so on)
    Setting missing or grayed out (such as Mail, Contacts, and Calendar; iCloud; Twitter; FaceTime)
    Important: Restrictions can also be enabled or enforced using a profile (typically installed when using the device for business or education purposes). You can check for installed profiles in Settings > General > Profiles.
    Thank you for reaching out to us at Apple Communities on this issue.
    Cheers,

  • TS4147 I deleted what I thought were duplicate contacts and now they're gone, how can I get them back?

    My address book on the mac showed duplicate contacts so I started to delete them. I deleted A-C. However, on icloud.com, they were not duplictaed and now all of my A-C contacts are gone. How can I get them back?

    I think i did the same thing. I just got a new MacBook Air and when it synced with iCloud I had doubles of all my contacts. Now I'm missing most of my contacts as well.... Someone please help with a solution to this mistake....

  • Top line suddenly missing from display - where did it go?  how can I get it back?  Don't have finder, time and date, options...

    Top line is suddenly missing:  no finder, no options, no date and time or wifi status, no time capsule to return to previous settings!  Can't figure out what happened.

    You can only sync with one computer. When you synced to the new computer it would have erased it and synced what was on the new computer.
    You always need to have a backup, an iPhone is not a storage device.
    When you get a new computer you need to transfer your library before syncing
    If you don't have a backup you may be out of luck
    The only thing would be if you're in the US and have access to the iCloud beta to reload purchases

  • I tried to move my saved messages to a folder in MyDocs, but instead they just disappeared; how do I get them back??!!

    The messages are/were apparently stored buried somewhere in the program files - I want them stored in MyDocs where they can easily and regularly be backed up. What I thought was the message store probably wasn't, but where is it? And where are the messages gone?

    You can not store mail in "my documents" or a collection of other standard windows folders. That is because the data is application data not files and it is considered unsafe. Microsoft in their design of Windows about 20 years ago designated that application data be stored in the folder "application data" with the advent of Vista that became appdata. So I suggest you modify your backups to include that folder, as it contains data for most programs on your system, not just Thunderbird.
    If you type %appdata% into the search box and press enter windows explorer should open and show you the physical location the environment variable appdata points to. It is by default a hidden folder and as such the content is not available to windows search.
    Now as you have not really said exactly what you did to loose your data, I have no idea where you put it. If you could be more descriptive of what you actually did, perhaps someone can figure it out.

  • I downloaded several podcasts from On Being but I cannot find most of them on the display.  Where did they go?  How can I retrieve them?

    I downloaded several podcasts from On Being but I can only see four  or five of them when I touch podcasts.  When I check back on the subscription to On Being, I see all the podcasts checked off that I downloaded.  Why are they not on the display so I can play them?  How do I retrieve  them?  When I go back to the subcription list, the items do not allow for download again (ie. there is not "get").
    I have an iPod Nano that I just bought last month.  The user manual give mostly info on songs and little useful info on podcasts.
    Thanks.

  • After an automatic upgrade, all my bookmarks are gone, none of the troubleshooting answers help - how do I get them back?

    I just simply turned on my computer and clicked FireFox as always. Looks like some updates installed and now all my bookmarks are gone. I've looked at all related troubleshooting answers and nothing works. How do i get my bookmarks back?

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • All My 560 contact suddenly are no longer exist eventhough I did not erase any how can I get them back???

    I was thinking to retrieve them
    Only from my laptop iTunes by just want to access contact application
    And nothing else I mean no photo want to retrieve or calendar because on my iPod I have more up to date info in calendar and note and more pictures in my iPod than iTunes last time I back it up
    Since last month??
    Please anyone had same problem and solve it ?

    thank you for the reply
    but there is no way to only restore contact from the back up
    otherwise i have to accept to restore all (includes notes, calendar..etc) and that would overwrite everything on my IPod.
    while I haven't backed up my IPod since 40 days, so I have more info in my notes and claendar in my ipod than the back up
    Please advise?

    Hi cmccloud,
    What is the error message you get? If it's telling you to upgrade Numbers but you already have updated, then that means you probably are trying to open the document with the old version, which is still on your Mac, in a sub folder within Applications named iWork '09. Open the document with the Numbers that is in your Applications folder (not the one in a subfolder). It's easy to confuse the two, because the icons are similar.
    If you're getting some other error message, could you post specifics?

    How do I get them back????  I lost hundreds of important personal and business contacts.
    I tried to sync it when I got home with my Mac, but still all of my contacts are gone.
    Where the heck are they?  Why did they go?  How can I get them back?

    Do you have an iCloud back up as well? If so restoring from there may be an option
