My ipod touch's PhotoStream photos not retained after an icloud backup restore??? HELPP !!

So just yesterday I reset my ipod touch 4g into factory settings by deleting all the content on it just because I had encountered some technical issues before that, but then after I had activated my ipod touch again and initiated a restore from an icloud backup, I noticed that the photostream feature was on but WITHOUT its previous contents that were there when I made the backup on icloud ! so why is this ?!! im confused ... only my cameraroll content was restored. Photostream feature was there but the window just says "NO PHOTOS". how can this even be?! i mean, it was with its content when i made the backup on icloud ! -_- and more interestingly, on my iphone 5(my other idevice), photostream can be found with all its content, but on my ipod touch 4g , the photostream has lost all its content after the factory reset cuz apparently icloud can't back up photostream content. SO plz suggest me what i should do to sort this out and recover my photostream content on my ipod touch 4g.. and TELL me how photostream all works.. THNX

This is the iPhone forum
That said... PhotoStream is a stream of photos. The contents of the PhotoStream are not part of the backup. PhotoStream will hold the last 30 days of photos on-line. After 30 days, the photos are deleted from the servers. If they have already been downloaded from the cloud and appear on a device, they will remain there. However... if the device is wiped, restored, etc. or PhotoStream on the device is turned off then back on, ONLY the photos still resident in the cloud will download.
If the photos were over 30 days old, they are no longer in the cloud. If you didn't have them backed up elsewhere, they are gone.

    my ipod touch gen 4 will not recovery after software update. have tried everything. device not recognized by itunes. any ideas?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • TS4006 how can I find my Ipod touch if I have not fully registered in Icloud? I downloaded Icloud but did not complete the registration. I recently backed it up with Itunes 2 wks ago. Will be able to find my Phone ID from that? Please help.

    I lost my Ipod touch. I have downloaded Icloud but did not complete registration. I have back it up with Itunes 2 weeks ago in my computer at home. I am out of town. How can I find my Ipod touch?

    In order to use Find My iPhone (or iPad, etc), your device has to be connected to iCloud with a valid ID/account, the Find my iPhone service has to be turned on (on the device), in Settings>iCloud.  It sounds as though you haven't done these tasks - unfortunately, there's no way to track your lost device.
    BTW, you don't "download" icloud, you register it on a device by going to Settings>iCloud and then click the ON switch and entering your ID/password (perhaps this is what you meant by downloading iCloud).

  • IPod Touch 2G Home button not working after OS4 upgrade

    Hi there,
    hope someone can help. Upgraded an iPod Touch 2G to OS4.1 and teh home button will not work now normally, but will work if its attached to a PC and iTunes. Anyone seen this before and how to fix it?
    Cheers,
    Martin

    HI there,
    thanks for the reply. Tried both of what you suggested, also tried the home button thing only working while plugged in with two computers and two different leads which is why I suspect is an operating system thing.
    I may try downgrading the operating system next, just have to find a copy of an old one somewhere.
    Cheers,
    Martin

  • Ipod touch 2g bluetooth will not connect after syncing with iTunes

    Had my ipod touch 2nd gen working with Bluetooth pairing to my Jambox and Boss DVD player and previously had worked with my AudioEngine Bluetooth device. Had a problem with musc files giving me an 1309 error message, was able to just select music manually without sync until this problem came up.
    Had to initiate the auto Sync with iTunes which removed the error message for Music and since then my Bluetooth pairing has stopped. Have ver 4.21 and the Bluetooth shows the bluetooth mac address.
    The Love is gone for this device. It will not pair up with devices that were working under bluetooth last week.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    - On the iPod try resetting network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. You will have to repair Bt defive s and rejoin wifi networks
    - Reset the BT devices and repair.  You have to see the BT device manual for how to reset them.

  • Ipod touch 3g screen does not rotate after update

    after upgrading my iPod Touch 3rd Generation os to ver 5.0.1 I have noticed that the screen will quit rotating.  I can do a hard reset and it will rotate but after a very short period of time it quits rotating again.

    Try restoring the iPod. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem then you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Updated new version 4.3.3 to iPod touch,now apps are not working?how can I restore to previous use?

    After updating, if u push on an icon it flashes and goes straight back to mainscreen.. How can I fix this problem? Or restore it to before updating 4.3.3?

    There is no legitimate way of downgrading the iOS version.
    Try in order:
    - Restting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restoring the iPod from backup via iTunes
    - Restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • How do I delete photos from iPod Touch?  Some photos do not have the trash basket option!

    How do I delete photos from iPod Touch?  Some photos do not have the trash basket option!
    When I first synced my iPod Touch with my laptop, it uploaded a lot of photos onto the iPod.  I now wish to delete those but it does not seem as a straight forward option!

    For photos synced to the iPod you have to unsync them:
    To delete photos from your device
    In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Sync photos from."
    On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
    On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Click Apply.

  • The head phone jack on my brand new iPod touch 5th generation is not working properly

    The head phone jack on my brand new iPod touch 5th generation is not working properly. It has sound without the headphones in but when I plug them in it has no sound, it's low, or poppy. I had only used my apple supplied headphones once before and it worked fine. I know it's not the headphones because I tried them on my girlfriends phone and they worked fine.

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

  • ITunes shows the music and audiobooks I've loaded to my iPod Touch, but they do not show up when I try to play them.

    iTunes shows the music and audiobooks I've loaded to my iPod Touch, but they do not show up when I try to play them.  I reconnect to iTunes and it shows the music and books as being loaded on my iPod.
    Sometimes the audiobook will play, then disappear from iPod's play menu after I reconnect to iTunes and load more music.  I've got plenty of free memory, and iTunes shows the files still on iPod.
